  Personality
  
  
  +Persuasive: As plan C, Ioana will turn to her communication skills. Persuasion is a powerful tool she can call to when all else fails and can be fairly convincing to most folks. She can fake a number of moods and is great at parties though all parties she went to in the past ended poorly.
  
  
  =Quiet: Ioana is often pretty quiet as she tries to minimize the amount of sound coming from her general direction. Her voice will not get raised too frequently unless it's needed.
  
  
  =Desensitized: It became known after a while, that if you hired Ioana to break into and steal from a place, that a few guards, innocent or not, might disappear. Gang members, security officers, they're all just bags of ketchup when it comes to completing a job.
  
  
  -Paranoid: In her line of work, not many people can be trusted and Ioana did not want to take any chances. She still believes that until she knows for sure what motives a person has, they're out to get her.
  
  
  History
  
  
  Once upon a time, a man came to America. He got married and had a daughter: Ioana. What this man also had, was a shady background. Shady enough to catch up with him and his newly acquired family. Ioana's mother died in a traffic collision when she was 7. The police said it was an accident.
  
  
  Father was devastated. But for the sake of his daughter, he didn't turn to alcohol, but instead tried to fill up his time with Ioana. He tried to make up for her missing mother. And it worked out. For a long time, they were happy. Ioana's father even taught her how to always win at hide-and-seek. And when she was a teenager, dad taught her how to properly use a weapon in case the bad people inserted themselves into their lives again.
  
  
  Sure enough, they did, during a game of hide-and-seek. They broke into the house, beat daddy up real bad and shot him up. "That's what you get for running away and having a family. Oamenii ca noi sunt blestemați, Ionel.(People like us are cursed, Ionel.) We can't have normal lives." And that was it. Ioana couldn't bring herself to get out of her hiding spot for the whole day. She promised herself that she'll bring the people who did this the anguish she felt tenfold.
  
  
  Fast forward to late adolescence. She survived by stealing, breaking in places and doing small-time jobs for drug traffickers. It wasn't until she received a criptic message and a mask that her life changed. It was a babysitting message. It gave Ioana an address, instructions on taking care of the little brats and had been told to 'be discrete'. When she arrived at the location Ioana was met by about a dozen of dangerous individuals armed with blunt weapons and firearms.
  
  
  Ioana realized she was sent there to clean out the house. And somehow, she did. Fast. Way too fast. She felt incredible, offing two goons one after another in two seconds and in different rooms. It only escalated from there. Jobs got bigger. She broke into warehouses, guarded places until one day she got tipped off the location of the guy who made an orphan out of her. Ioana killed him and everyone else who was in his safehouse, ironically she told him "Eu sunt blestemul."(I am the curse.)
  
  
  After a while, she was arrested and forced into joining Training Facility 108.
  
  
  
• Parents:
  
  
  -Călătoru Ionel Andrei: Father. Deader than a morgue. Got gangs to thank for that. Ioana loved him greatly.
  
  
  -Călătoru Sarah Julia: Mother. Six feet under. She died when Ioana was 7. Rough times but her dad made up for it as long as he could.
  
  
  Friends:
  
  
  -Who needs friends?

  Primary Power
  
  
  Ioana can move up to the speed of sound. Notice the omnipresent voice describing this character chose to say "move" not "run". It's because she can move any individual part of her body and all of them at once. There is a big difference between running fast and punching someone in the face while your arm is moving at a thousand feet per second.
  
  
  Secondary powers
  
  
  While moving at high speeds, Ioana's body becomes more resilient. Resistant enough for her to absorb the reaction to her action of hitting someone or something at the speed of sound without the harshest consequences.
  
  
  Her senses are also heightened passively. Call it a glorified spidey sense or a superhuman sense of environment awareness. Simply put, she can dodge any incoming objects while traveling at high speeds and sitting still.
  
  
  Weaknesses
  
  
  If her body can be kept completely still, she's just a sitting duck. Bullets, debris, etc. affect her how it would affect a normal human.
  
  
  Depending on the caliber of the bullet it can penetrate Ioana's skin even while moving. If she won't be aware of the bullet coming, she won't dodge it.
  
  
  Ioana cannot maintain speed for longer than a few seconds. Going over her limit will render Ioana temporarily blind and deaf.
  
  
  Ioana is not strong and all of her powers are relying on her ability to move or stay hidden.
  
  
  Punching a person might not hurt Lelantos much, but even with her resistance, punching something solid like a wall, repeatedly, would hurt her in the long run.

@Aldur Forgehammer very good A+++++ just one tiny question - how would you make her still? If she has the spider sense or environmental sense than how would someone sneak up on her and knock her out or whatever? Unless your meaning like trapping in gas chamber or something or shooting her from a distance?

I'm assuming they have forcefields and high tech prison security in 2040. Maybe even electrocute her from a distance. She might be as fast as sound, but she still has a long way to go before getting to the speed of light.

Yeah that's what I meant. I mean if nothing else once she's out they just need to put a limiter on her and she's harmless. The question was how do you catch her fin the first place. But using a sniper makes sense or possibly some kind of rapid release net.


Or a combination of things. Maybe oil slick then net then limiter.


As I'm assuming if she can't get traction she can't move fast. (Well running and really twisting your body isn't going to help with a net.

  Personality
  
  
  
  
  
  Reliable | Confident| Pessimist | Vindictive
  
  ​
  
  
  
  Reliable: Benjamin is down-to-earth and responsible-minded. He is precise, reserved and demanding. His most prominent quality is reliability and he will always make every effort to keep any promise given, personal or work-related. Of course, IF you manage to make him promise you something in the first place, since the young man is really careful with the words he throws around.
  
  
  Confident: Supremely confident in his own abilities above all others, the young man is and has always been of the opinion that he can conquer any obstacle that's put in front of him…whether he's willing to put the effort into it is another story. Without a driving force behind him, stick or carrot or both, he needs enough personal incentive to perform a task, and in many ways prefers to slide by with the minimum amount of effort.
  
  
  Pessimist: A bit of a pessimist, Ben is very quick to assume the worst of a person. Not that he has any interest in doing anything about it; it simply makes things easier in the long run. He has a habit of 'adopting' individuals that he likes, volunteering himself to be around even when he’s not wanted.
  
  
  Vindictive: Ben has seemingly inexhaustible obsession for making people who crosses him badly “pay”. Once he sets his sights on you, you’re a permanent enemy, and his seething spite will feel as intense years down the road as it did when it first began.
  
  
  
  History
  
  
  
  
  Benjamin Aiken was born into a warm, loving home. Though a loving home it may be, it was also a home full of secrets. Secrets revolving around an ongoing affair between his mother and her long distance lover. Benjamin's mother was a famous woman whom often traveled to many places because of her work. Before Benjamin was even born, his mother met this man in one of her travels to Italy and almost instantly fell in love with him. Being tall, dark and handsome, with long raven hair. He had a look of a man who would always protect the person he loved.​
  
  
  
  When Benjamin was born, the affair came into light and his mother sent him off to live with his grandfather while she dealt with the whole problem. Whenever his mother came to stay with him for a few days, he felt like the happiest person in the world. But that happiness didn’t last him long, because by the time he turned six, his mother’s visits became rare, none-existent in fact. Upon realizing this, Ben was surprised, but at the same time, not really. He had actually found this out a long time ago after overhearing his grandfather talking over the phone one night. He had been arguing about her affair and his grandfather thought it'd be a good idea if she allowed him to stay with him permanently. After all, she became a troubled, depressed woman who only spent her days drinking and sleeping around with men.
  
  
  And so, the boy started attending school again, eventually establishing the new place as home. He became attached to his grandfather, who taught him many things and who was now Ben’s one and only parent figure.
  
  
  The young man’s powers came into light when Benjamin grabbed some decorative, metal spheres from his grandfather’s shelves. He was twelve at the time. As the young, mischievous boy he was, he took those spheres outside and started playing with them, rolling them around in the yard and pretending they were giant boulders that were crushing the small ants. When suddenly, right when he was about to flick the spheres away, they rolled in the direction of his hand and glued on it. Of course he was scared, of course he yelled and flailed, and waved his hand to see if they would fall off…But they didn’t, and the more panic Ben felt, the worse it got. Metal spoons, coins, and anything metallic that was around flew towards the boy and piled over him. Just imagine the mess his grandfather found when he got home…
  
  
  Not exactly understanding his grandson’s condition, the old man went off to search for help. It was a big surprise when he finally found these people… Commonwealth was it? Who offered his grandson the opportunity to attend Aegis, an organization that seeks to organize and regulate training for supers. It seemed like the best choice at the time, since he had no knowledge of super human abilities nor even knew Ben wielded such powers. And so, Benjamin was sent off to the institution. It’s been years now and he hasn’t heard from his grandson…He often wonders if Ben was able to find answers. Was it really the right choice to send him off with those people? But what else could he had done? His grandfather only wished him the best.

  Cherriz Grey
  
  Ben's mother. Age 42 now. Stopped visiting when he was six. She fell into depression when her husband left her and adopted drinking instead. Her whereabouts are unknown.
  
  Joseph Pollengi
  
  Ben's real father, the one her mother met in one of her travels to Italy. Around age 52 now. His whereabouts are unknown.
  
  Marcus Rojas
  
  Cherriz's husband, and Ben's father until the affair came into light. He refused to take care of Ben after finding out he wasn't really his son, but rather the child of an unfaithful woman and her lover.

  Primary Power
  
  He has the ability to manipulate Magnetism. This power allows him to attract and repel all metallic objects as projectiles, destroy electronic equipment, and grants him sonar-like sense detector towards any metal weaponry. His power also allows him to make temporal magnetic shields in order to repel those objects. Ben has the habit of keeping three metal spheres in his pocket that he, once in a while, uses for recreation. Making them float above his hand and such; His eyes turn a yellow hue whenever he activates his abilities.
  
  

  

  
  
  Secondary powers
  
  Ben is also capable of generating electricity with his magnetism, similar to how electromagnetic induction of a magnet works. Though it is not as powerful as regular electric powers could be. However the drawbacks of using this is that it erodes his optic nerve, causing sight loss overtime. According to his teachers, this is due to his powers being incompatible.
  
  

  

  
  
  Weaknesses
  
  1. Ben's power relies on two things: On, one, the metal things around him and two, on the three metal spheres he keeps in his pocket. If he is ripped away from those two things, the young man is pretty much useless. I mean, yeah he is left with his electric ability, but that makes him go blinder and blinder the more that he uses it. So it's pretty much a no no.
  
  2. His magnetism also has a limit: the heavier the object, the more strain it puts on his body and mind. For every object that his power controls, the young man has to individually concentrate on it, so it takes quite a lot of mental energy that can make his body shut down, causing him to faint.
  
  3. Ben can only lift objects that are smaller or equal to the weight of a car. And even then, he would have to really put effort in it. His mind just isn’t powerful enough to sustain the weight of a ship, or a train—For example. It would make his brain burst because of the pressure.
  
  4. His magnetic shields are rather weak and he can only hold them for about two minutes without anything crashing into it. Meaning, if he has a bunch of metal objects thrown at him, he'll only be able to hold the shield for 10 seconds or less. Plus, Ben can’t exactly control where the metal things that bounce off end up, which could be a problem in team fights or if he's in a crowded place since he can end up hurting someone.​

True. I think she is required to have an active limiter at all times with her being a convict and all.

I think they all are, well everyone above rank D. Just the more responsible ones get to turn them off if they want. But as I understand it all the C Rank and upper students have active limiters.

I'll quote these from the Character Sign Up thingy.

an E or D rank and don’t need to wear a limiter

An S rank must wear a Level 4 limiter to bring them down to an effective D rank, for example.

All S Ranks are required to wear an active limiter, but a B rank faculty, for example, might be listed as “Level 2, inactive” if they no longer are required to keep the limiter turned on.

@readingraebow


Would you look over my character sheet again, even though its up on the approved stuff-iage page. I have been flip flopping over Page's character. Not that it matters THAT much. However, her power IS fire. Fire alone can be a destructive element. Do you think I have her ranking correct? I did not want to risk playing an over powered character but now I am wondering if I was not being realistic about the destructive characteristics of fire.


@welian


What do you think about the additional tab aka the event tab for the Exam Role Play and other such 'Event' posts? Might be a nice way to keep things orderly. I mean you seem to be the event master. How have you run such events in the past? Do they just become the rp for that week? Give me your knowledge! But seriously, the snowball fight and capture the flag layouts are genius.

 

[Aldur]

Yes I understand but literally everyone has a limiter except the E and D rank and the only reason those two ranks don't have limiters is that it would be pointless. Their lack of destructive abilities already make them fairly harmless.
As a B rank your character would have a level 2 limiter that is active until she completes the following requirements.


View attachment 238512

I'm not really sure. I asked welian the other day how I'd go about a limiter since Ioana is a convict. I'm assuming it's active since she did kill recently and was, well, convicted.

 

[Aldur]

I quoted those because I wasn't sure you knew S ranks had limiters active at all times. Or me for that matter.

Character spreadsheets and a new co-GM Hello again, roleplayers! I’ve been going through the OOC thread, and compiling all the new profile apps and the approved ones into a spreadsheet on Google Docs. You can view it at the bottom of the character sign-up thread. Additionally, I have decided that @Giyari will be my co-GM for this roleplay. This gives him the authority to accept or decline characters, and to move the plot forward when I’m not around. I chose him because he’s one of the players that was in the original roleplay (yes, Aegis is a sequel). If you have questions about the general setting (technology level, what powers are possible, etc.), you can also ask @Zahzi or @TheDaftStudent – they were also in the original roleplay. However, they are not co-GMs, so they don’t have my permission to accept or reject apps. Now! I have about two hours, so I’m going to go through the OOC thread and start reviewing apps. Also, I'm probably going to need to add an Update and a Q&A tab...

 

[call me rae]

@Manic Muse[/URL] she seems fine but if you want mor fire related limitations. There is always the obvious - she can't light herself on fire in the rain or underwater, cuz ya know water extinguishes fire. Also lack of oxygen maybe? Fire can't burn without oxygen that's why you can instinguish fires with like sand or stuff.


But really as I said she looks A +++++++ awesome already tbh.

 

[Aldur]

That and she hasn't you know got a Blue Card or proven herself capable of using her powers responsibility. I wasn't saying it wasn't active I was just saying that she wouldn't be the only one with an active limiter. All of the students that aren't puny D Rangers would also have active powers.

  Personality
  
  
  • Kind-hearted
    Asher is kind, almost to a fault. Sure, if you cross him you'll know about it VERY quickly, but to him kindness comes first, and does so naturally.
    
  • Musically Inclined
    Music has worked its way into Asher's life in a variety of ways, and is his favorite hobby. He works it into everything else in his life as best as he can - including his job as a teacher.
    
  • Adaptable
    Between using his powers for good and everything that comes up at his other jobs, Asher has found that there are almost an infinite number of ways to "wing it" when you need to; you just need to get creative, sometimes. And he finds ways to employ this skill on an hourly basis, at minimum.
    
  • Wildly Impulsive
    Between the adaptability he picked up, his inherently creative nature, and whatever other factors are involved, Asher generally doesn't plan things out. Even when he does, it never seems like much of a plan, or at worst will fall apart five seconds into the first step. While Asher has generally embraced this aspect of himself, he doesn't always necessarily realize just how much confusion he can tend to leave in his wake.
    
  
  
  History
  
  
  Asher's early life was pretty white bread - happy family, vacations for the major holidays, nothing really out of the ordinary aside from his love of all things music. Then, one day, he started discovering that he could...change things about music. Manipulate the notes. Change the signals and waveforms. He kept it to himself for as long as he could, but eventually his family found out.
  
  
  His family reacted by trying to keep it quiet - literally and metaphorically. They told no one about his ability, and tried to keep Asher away from music as much as possible. About a week later, his parents sent him off to the Aegis program to keep him from turning every surface and object in their house into a drum and possibly destroying it.
  
  
  He enjoyed the freedom he had at the Aegis program so much, he decided to become a teacher there when he was old enough. His primary job is currently as the instructor for Mental Discipline, where he works his love of music into every aspect of his training regiment.
• 
  
  
  Facility 108 Staff:
  
  
  Students:
  
  
  Family: Asher still maintains good relations with his family; he just isn't allowed to do anything with his powers around them, on pain of embarrassing stories being told to everyone.

  Primary Power
  
  
  Asher cannot create sound waves in any way that a normal human cannot, but once one exists physically he can manipulate its physical properties. In musical terms, this means that he can adjust the frequency, amplitude, and overall "appearance" of a sound wave to adjust pitch, tempo, key, and so on. He is also capable of mixing sound waves together, and to some extent separating them as well, though due to the difficulty of that feat he's only ever been able to separate a few seconds of audio into two distinct signals in one go, and the resultant sound waves weren't always what he was hoping to achieve. He primarily uses these abilities for crowd control purposes, such as playing various kinds of music for a target/group of targets endlessly at high volume, making them unable to think.
  
  
  Secondary powers
  
  
  Because of his love for music (perhaps), Asher is capable of withstanding much louder sounds than a normal human can without hearing protection. According to the results of the last test run to measure his limit, when the volume reached 173 dB he "politely asked to end the test, claiming it was starting to get uncomfortable for his ears."
  
  
  Weaknesses
  
  
  • Because Asher can only manipulate sound waves that already exist in a physical sense, he must always carry something capable of playing music with him at all times. This also means that his ability is somewhat restricted by the physical limits of whatever device he's using - he can produce much greater effects (and much more destruction if he's not careful) with an amp the size of a refrigerator than with a smartphone.
    
  • Because noise is created in so many ways and by so many things, Asher needs to be incredibly careful about what sound waves he manipulates. Especially with so many people listening to music almost constantly, he needs to be sure that he doesn't accidentally start playing around with the sound of someone's footsteps down the hall or the sounds caused by the weather outside instead of the music he's supposed to be shifting into a different key. It's very possible for him to be overwhelmed by an abundance of sound sources.
    
  • Asher's ability is actually rather fragile, as sound waves require a medium to travel. If he ever finds himself up against someone who can manipulate air or liquids, they will pose a significant threat to him as they can dampen or impede his generated sound waves significantly, if not completely.

  Personality
  
  
  • Kind-hearted
    Asher is kind, almost to a fault. Sure, if you cross him you'll know about it VERY quickly, but to him kindness comes first, and does so naturally.
    
  • Musically Inclined
    Music has worked its way into Asher's life in a variety of ways, and is his favorite hobby. He works it into everything else in his life as best as he can - including his job as a teacher.
    
  • Adaptable
    Between using his powers for good and everything that comes up at his other jobs, Asher has found that there are almost an infinite number of ways to "wing it" when you need to; you just need to get creative, sometimes. And he finds ways to employ this skill on an hourly basis, at minimum.
    
  • Chaos Incarnate
    Between the adaptability he picked up, his inherently creative nature, and whatever other factors are involved, Asher generally doesn't plan things out. Even when he does, it never seems like much of a plan, or at worst will fall apart five seconds into the first step. While Asher has generally embraced this aspect of himself, he doesn't always necessarily realize just how much confusion he can tend to leave in his wake.
    
  
  
  History
  
  
  Asher's early life was pretty white bread - happy family, vacations for the major holidays, nothing really out of the ordinary aside from his love of all things music. Then, one day, he started discovering that he could...change things about music. Manipulate the notes. Change the signals and waveforms. He kept it to himself for as long as he could, but eventually his family found out.
  
  
  His family reacted by trying to keep it quiet - literally and metaphorically. They told no one about his ability, and tried to keep Asher away from music as much as possible. About a week later, his parents sent him off to the Aegis program to keep him from turning every surface and object in their house into a drum and possibly destroying it.
  
  
  He enjoyed the freedom he had at the Aegis program so much, he decided to become a teacher there when he was old enough. His primary job is currently as the instructor for Mental Discipline, where he works his love of music into every aspect of his training regiment.

  Family: Asher still maintains good relations with his family; he just isn't allowed to do anything with his powers around them, on pain of embarrassing stories being told to everyone.

  Primary Power
  
  
  Asher cannot create sound waves in any way that a normal human cannot, but once one exists physically he can manipulate its physical properties. In musical terms, this means that he can adjust the frequency, amplitude, and overall "appearance" of a sound wave to adjust pitch, tempo, key, and so on. He is also capable of mixing sound waves together, and to some extent separating them as well, though due to the difficulty of that feat he's only ever been able to separate a few seconds of audio into two distinct signals in one go, and the resultant sound waves weren't always what he was hoping to achieve. He primarily uses these abilities for crowd control purposes, such as playing various kinds of music for a target/group of targets endlessly at high volume, making them unable to think.
  
  
  Secondary powers
  
  
  Because of his love for music (perhaps), Asher is capable of withstanding much louder sounds than a normal human can without hearing protection. According to the results of the last test run to measure his limit, when the volume reached 173 dB he "politely asked to end the test, claiming it was starting to get uncomfortable for his ears."
  
  
  Weaknesses
  
  
  • Because Asher can only manipulate sound waves that already exist in a physical sense, he must always carry something capable of playing music with him at all times. This also means that his ability is somewhat restricted by the physical limits of whatever device he's using - he can produce much greater effects (and much more destruction if he's not careful) with an amp the size of a refrigerator than with a smartphone.

  • Asher's ability to withstand much higher volumes than most others makes it nearly impossible to tell when something is "too loud" by a general rule of thumb. Unless he has some way of knowing exactly how many decibels a sound is, there's a good chance he might make it too loud for everyone around him, whether increased volume was his intent or not.

I like him. Powers are really interesting. I mingled at some point with abilities similar to his and I really enjoy the idea!

• I choked on and spewed my water when I read the code name. (The bill for a new keyboard will be in the mail.)
  

• Appreciate the fact you picked Mental Discipline, then picked a character that works with a power that requires high willpower.
  

• Power is clever.
  

• Gallery pictures confuse me a bit because they appear to have green hair and you stated black on the first page. Though it might be my eyes.
  

• Interested to see how many times he suggests Music as the solution to a problem.

A++++ I love him nice, simple, but still very well written. If I had to offer a few quick quibbles :


1. I'd call "Chaos Incarnate" something like Impulsive. As to be Chaos Incarnate means more he's going around blowing things up, causing rampant anarchy just for the lols, etc. He just seems really - it seemed like fun at the time, which reads more impulsive to me.


But that's my two cents and honestly I got what you meant either way so it's not a huge deal.


2. I'm not sure the ability to withstand high volumes is really a weakness. Nor the ability to manipulate sounds other than the ones in music. Those seem more like further sub-abilities of his main power.


A weaknesses might be more along the lines of - he can only manipulate sounds he can perceive so if the sounds are too soft for him to pick up or he is deafened in some way his powers are useless.

Okay, wow, cool powers! That said, like has been said about Denzil (my chara) maybe he's a bit young to be a teacher. This is just a consideration and I decided not to change Denzils age, but I do think it's something to think about. Also, I think his weaknesses could use some work, the onces listed are good, but they seem more like the basic rules, and not the downsides to having this super power. Maybe add something like a range, or could he be overwhelmed, not in the amount of decibels, but the sources of noise?


Overall, I really like him, with cool powers and a neatly worked out backstory, but I think the weaknesses need some work!

Okay, wow, cool powers! That said, like has been said about Denzil (my chara) maybe he's a bit young to be a teacher.

I had a friend go to school to be a teacher and I'm pretty sure just a four year degree would be sufficient. Possibly with him just taking additional tests - I looked it up and I think he would have to have some kind of extra certificate if he was teaching at an actual school. Your own character's Masters would have made him more of a viable hire too but like I don't think having a teaching degree at all is really necessary. I really don't think most of the people at the Facility are state funded teachers. At least according to their bios their not.


To get a masters in America takes roughly 5 - 7 years: So assuming your character started college at 18 than getting a masters by 27 would have been perfectly doable. Heck 25 would be like the minimum age he would need to be if he really applied himself and didn't spend all his time drunk or lallygagging around.


A Bachelor's ( which is all you need for teaching ) is only 4 years if you apply yourself. So again 22 is the bare minimum you would need to be to be a "fully accredited teacher" + or minus a few months for additional testing.

To be honest, I don't know all that much about the education system, let alone what you need to be able to teach high school/college (which is the level I think Aegis is on) so I just based Denzils education on what would be required for him to teach the Dutch equivalent of that level. I wanted to mention it because it's so similar, and like I said, it's just a thing to consider, and more young teachers more fun!

Uh just a question, are the people who r approved allowed to post their CS in the sign up section? Or post in the rp? Or do we have to wait till the rp closes?

No, if Welian's said to you "Yo you're in!" then you're free to post your CS in the tab and go post! @Sagitarius
