@welian
Hey, sorry to just suddenly jump in but question about making characters.


Can we make characters who are part of faculty but aren't teachers, such as Clerks / Administrators?

I'm just stealing this, but yes! I think there are already a few non teacher faculty in the accepted character tab. So you know, it's not just me saying yes, it's me saying yes, there is a precedent for this.

 

[Scribbler]

Oh, silly me; should have actually checked the current characters before asking that.


Thank you very much though!

@RemainingQuestions

No problem, but while you're checking the accepted characters, it's a good idea to check what kind of powers have been accepted already. Just so you don't accidentally wind up with the exact same powers, y'know

 

[welian]

Then in that case I think at this point it would be in my best interest to step back from this RP. Good luck to everyone & have fun!

Sad to see you go, but it's been great having you! Thanks a bunch for all your help with the snowball event, and @Manic Muse too! If you guys haven't already, you may want to consider deleting your character sheets from the Sign-up thread.

  Personality
  
  
  Joyful: Like then frickin’ sun, Riley never seems to burn out. Rainy day? The smell of rain makes her happy. Break an arm? Time to get some signatures from people. Every terrible thing, every detail of the day just seems to get turned around into a way to make her life better. Riley just seems to never get too down. She’s not immune to the downside of life, it just never shows on the outside.
  
  
  Always on: Need someone to go out with last minute? How about someone to stand watch all night? Riley has been called the energizer bunny on more than one occasion. It’s been theorized that exposure to her gene caused this but even when fully inhibited she manages to be the early bird and the night owl. Amazingly, this gets on the nerves of some people as sometimes low key is the answer and she seemingly can’t pull that off. Lengthy lectures, rigid schedules and keeping silent in movies just aren’t her thing.
  
  
  Opportunist: Life will often put up little chances to succeed. Riley jumps at these, taking full advantage of any situation that falls in her lap to further herself in any category. It’s led to a life that doesn’t quite follow a normal path but hasn’t been any less beneficial! This trait isn’t limited to the self as Riley will also take any chance she gets to use her entire arsenal to one up anyone in her way.
  
  
  Narrow minded: Tunnel vision doesn’t begin to describe it. Riley is absolutely terrible at seeing outside the range of her own perspective. It’s as if other people’s thoughts and opinions don’t exist. When she sets her mind on something, anything else outside the range of importance doesn’t even factor in.
  
  
  History
  
  
  Born in the ‘burbs, Riley was the second child of three to an exceedingly average middle class family. Her dad a businessman working 9-5 and commuting, mom staying at home and scheduling babysitting with the other moms in the area with the occasional jewelry party for fun.
  
  
  And you know what? That was absolutely wonderful. The best years of Riley’s life up until the manifestation of her abilities. At thirteen years of age she began acting incredibly strange. Emotional mood swings would hit hard and send her into the extremes of emotional range, physical changes far outside the normal ones a teen goes through both back and forth, and the complete non reaction of any sort of drug. With repeated trips to the doctor finding no cause for it up until her bloodwork was done. Riley tested positive for quite nearly every drug under the sun and then some. Just the quantities in her blood alone should have accounted for her death not to mention the insane variety of chemical interactions but somehow she hadn’t died.
  
  
  It took a curious doctor checking beneath the drug levels and automatic assumption of a terrible home life to realize that Riley was suffering from her no longer latent super gene. This came about as a shock and relief for her parents but to the incredibly addled Riley, it was a death sentence. Just like all the 13 year old kids in the world, she knew what was best for her and ran away from home the day she was due to go into the commonwealth for her testing.
  
  
  Irrational, young, and suffering from a range of drug symptoms while her powers continued to develop, Riley managed to somehow survive off of a life of theft and charity while she made her way eastward. This only continued for a short while as it was found out that Riley soon began to live a considerably more comfortable life on the run when she began selling copious amounts of street drugs.
  
  
  At age 16, she was picked up by undercover officers when selling nearly thirty pounds of pure heroin at prices equivalent to pennies on the dollar. A value of nearly a million for only ten grand tipped officers off that something was amiss. Brought in, it was found her bloodwork was inconclusive. This data was shared and intercepted by Commonwealth operatives and finally Riley was brought in for proper testing.
  
  
  After the agonizing process and subsequent collaring with an inhibitor, Riley began leveling out enough to function. Embarrassed and unwilling to return home, Riley emancipated herself legally and became a legal adult. At this time she was given a low level super designation and the inhibitor just barely managed to get hold her internal chemical levels in check. There was little effect to when she concentrated in an attempt to produce street drugs.
  
  
  Now operating legally, Riley got a job, her GED, and managed a decent enough living selling drugs on the side in considerably smaller amounts but this didn’t last long as her collar began reporting the usage of her abilities to Commonwealth. Given one last chance when she was brought in, Riley was shipped to AEGIS and put through considerably more rigorous testing and training.
  
  
  Now at twenty, she is quite nearly finished with her weekly schooling in night class. Able to survive the Baltimore area with her day job working at the facility, she is thriving on her own. Combined with counseling having put her on a much better path, she’s decided to shoot for her Blue Card in an attempt to make up for her past. Unfortunately, prying eyes far up have fallen upon her and a different goal has been decided upon for her yet to discover…
  
  
  Spoiler

  Average child average family. Powers manifest throwing teenage hormones WAYYYYYY out of whack. Poor choices from deficient brain lead to running away from home. Running away leads to selling drugs, selling drugs leads to getting caught. Getting caught leads to an opportunity to make it with the help of Commonwealth. Get GED, works at the Facility to make some scratch, night classes to earn Blue card to maybe make up for what she's done.

  David Nguyen
  
  
  Currently the closest thing she has to a friend, David is an old criminal contact Riley met years back. While Riley is currently on the legally mandated straight and narrow, she keeps in contact with David who has more than once profited from the living Meth lab that is Riley.
  
  
  Miss Winters
  
  
  Landlady and go to for advice in all things adult, Riley is good friends with her and will spend evenings down the hall enjoying her company.
  
  
  Case Handler Ralph
  
  
  Ralph handles her case files and works as a quasi-caseworker for her. The relationship is strained to say the least as Riley’s own narrow-minded views on what she wants in life do not mesh well with the best options provided by him.

  Primary Power
  
  
  
  
  
  Chemical Synthesis: Any chemical compound that Riley has ever come into systemic contact with can be rapidly and in great volume generated internally by Riley. Naturally occurring chemicals can be generated as well, not requiring an external source.
  
  
  While mundane sounding at first, her abilities were reclassed when put through full testing procedures. Imagine the natural human response to pain ramped up to inhuman levels. Serotonin spikes to handle pain, ATP to stave off the cold and provide near endless amounts of energy, cortisol to spike Adrenaline in order to reach levels of inhuman strength. These rely upon both emotional and physical triggers which Riley has limited control over.
  
  
  With synthetic chemicals, her body functions differently. Requiring an outside source she takes in various amounts of an outside chemical and can synthesize it in a similar fashion to natural chemicals except with limits based on how much her system took in. Complex substances can be broken down into purer states with difficulty. While synthesis occurs with these chemicals, Riley suffers the various effects but cannot overdose.
  
  
  To counteract this, additional chemicals can be congruantly created to balance out the symptoms. This process is dangerous and leads easily into BETA states.
  
  
  Weaknesses
  
  
  The most glaring weakness due to this mutation is of course the inherent instability mentally. Enough internal manifestation of Heroin and Riley will pass out. She must compensate or decompensate when generating multiple chemicals or be under threat of sliding too far into these imbalances. During these formally declared BETA states, Riley is a hazard to herself and others as emotional triggers formulate the base of her ability activation. During a nearly four day long LSD trip, she nearly mummified herself while her body tried to fight off dehydration. A string of orchestrated events caused her to fall into a ten hour fit of ‘roid rage’ that resulted in considerable damage to a small town. The mental stress this BETA state takes is also considerable as various aspects of her personality become pronounced by her emotional state. While these states are not enough to kill off Riley (Her body automatically compensating when incapacitated or she no longer is mentally capable of controlling her abilities), it is more than enough to send her spiraling down a path of self destruction leading to external factors that more than likely require another mobilization of Commonwealth reclamation forces to handle her.
  
  
  The secondary result of this constant chemical imbalance in her bodily systems is a slow in a sense, shifting of her physical body. Coming and going in a cyclical fashion, the direction it takes is based on stress. Her hair and eye color changes over years along with birthmarks, freckles, skin tone, muscle mass, limb length, and body measurements. This could quite possibly result in disturbing ‘mutations’ as of so far she has grown three sets of wisdom teeth (removed), a series of bad outbreaks of skin tumors (removed), and a functioning sixth finger on her right hand (still there). There is a theory floating around regarding this drawback as to what she may look like if allowed to age beyond normal human years and if this state will maintain adequate mental capacity to function.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Blue card status has already been determined as non-negotiable. The continual and casual usage of her abilities is a danger to the US and her people.
  
  
  What has been recommended is asset allocation upon reaching 'blue card' status and being re-purposed for the special projects branch of COMMONWEALTH and and/or military applications, research projects, wet work operations.
  
  
  ZDUNOWSKI, RILEY is a ticking time bomb and a danger to herself and others. With proper handling, guidance and control she can possibly live a beneficial life in service to her country.

I did, thanks for bumping it! I've been super busy today, so I didn't get to finish reviewing apps yet.

I should be working with my other friend on her CS today... So unless she gives up..., uhh, expect it to show up around tomorrow? xD (I'm so sorry to add more for you to do...)

 

[welian]

Hahaha, it's okay! It's my job as GM to handle this stuff!

Sadly, yes. Or so it would seem.

It's pretty dead. It was just too much chaos for me and Giy to keep up with. So we did the responsible thing and nuked it from orbit. It was the only way to be sure.

Hey, there's always the RPN chat! But then again, it DOES run in a browser window without having to be installed. So it doesn't really matter too much.

Well, there's always the RPN chat! I'm going to include it in this announcement I'm about to make, but since really only Lobby 1 gets a lot of chatting... I thought it might be nice to declare Lobby 3 - the least active lobby - as our unofficial hangout.
