Who is this person in your signature? He keeps giving me the Uncle Sam - AEGIS needs YOU recruitment pose and I'm curious where he's from. Cuz he looks familiar.

I thought it looked like he was from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure


Googled it, he was.


Kujo Jotaro, or Joutarou Kuujou

Ah thnx. I dunno who I thought he was but I'm pretty sure if never heard of jojo bizarre adventure.

So uh....


Character Sign-ups are open now. You know, if you want to make a profile or something. Because roleplay.

Oh god, this CS is going to take me at least an hour, I'm absolutely atrocious at using any kind of code preset, I always inadvertently press the space bar in one wrong spot and turn the entire thing into a massive dumpster fire straight from the heart of Pandora's box where the words come out fucking backwards or something.

Don't worry about it! I was going to give everyone an entire day to work on profiles before I start the RP, anyways. Tag me if you need help.

Thank you for that!


I've never tried BB Code before and I'm desperately thinking how not to screw this up from the cellphone...


If I become unresponsive you can all guess what I'm working into xD *inhales*


*exhales*


Well, I'm ready! please don't go hard in me BB Code!! ∑(O_O *on knees*

 

[welian]

Worst comes to first, you can ask someone else to do the coding for you.

 

[ManicMuse]

An entire day? Gee awesome


I think all the color just drained from my face. *cough*


Alright, I coded once upon a time like 10 years ago. How hard can it be, right? RIGHT!?


But seriously, thanks for providing the coding, I should be able to figure this out. Hopefully.

It takes me like, half a week to come up with a character.... I use my GM status as an excuse to be late.

I copy pasted the code for general info and it comes out like this

I doubt the code is supposed to be showing like that, so any ideas on why it's doing this?

 

[Uncultured]

Actually, I think it might be my computer that's having a problem reading the code, I just went to the old thread I'm using to make the CS and it seems to be in working order.

 

[Necessity4Fun]

Worst comes to first, you can ask someone else to do the coding for you.

I want to try it first, like a dozen times before choosing to let someone else do it for me... I may be a slow learner on coding but I want to give it my best


I was just being overly dramatic, It can't be THAT hard, right?

It's because the font style is being copied as well, and if there's one thing Rich Text Editor hates more than anything else in the world.... it's font styles. This is what it's supposed to look like:

[M0N0]

Probably something everyone else understands but me. But I'm confused by the Tic section


If I have, Let's say 2 tics in Flighty does that mean He's very Flightly?


Also what do I put In the total? Like...Do I say 2 If I've put two tics in Flighty or...


@welian

 

[welian]

Yes.

Do I say 2 If I've put two tics in Flighty or...

Also yes!

 

[Uncultured]

One of my characters will be a teacher and I was wondering if I could reserve a class for mental resiliency to control powers. He himself will have the power to weaken or fully negate the powers of others so it would make sense for him to be in a class where he can stop a potential power breakdown/meltdown etc.


Btw, just an explanation of his powers, if accepted, he can negate the average D-C rank, B ranks lose 50-70% effectiveness, A ranks lose 30-50% and an S rank would lose 20-40%. He can also boost the powers of others. D/C ranks can get doubled in strength by him (even something "useless" you can transform into animals? Small ones only though right? Well now you can transform into a Gorilla when this guy focuses his mind on your powers).


B ranks would get a 20% boost (perhaps to the power level of an A for a period of time).


A ranks would get a boost of 10%


S ranks would get a 5% boost.


His powers generally work best when there is someone on his side who is around him, as he can take/negate from one person and boost another person with the power drained from the enemy, he's basically an energy vampire who can act as a power conduit to potentially alter the balance of power in a conflict.

 

[call me rae]

@welian So my mom is currently sick and our home computer is her room. Which means it will be Tuesday at the earliest when I can start working on my profile because I'll have to work on it when I'm at work. Depending on how,much free time I get it might be something like Thursday before I'm done.


I'll try to get it up by Wednesday but no promises.

No problem didn't want u to think I was flaking out as I'll be on my phone,mostly. And let's just say I tried BBC code on my phone once and nearly needed to buy a new phone.


Since phones are expensive I prefer to just stick to working on the computer.

  Personality
  
  
  
  
  
  • Courageous
    
    Jason will stand up for those who need it, and has throughout his life worked to better the lives of others. From working with Commonwealth to keep the peace during harder times, to putting an end to Super discrimination, He's not afraid to speak his mind and take people on.
    
  • Fair
    
    Mr Swan is not a nasty man, per say, sure he has a temper but it's not without reason most of the time. If someone deserves his wrath they'll get it, but if not, he treats those that deserve it with respect. If you work hard at whatever it is you're trying to achieve, and you're heart's in the right place, Jason will give you his help and assistance.
    
  • Adaptable
    
    Not much gets past Jason, and growing up with the super gene, he's seen it all anyway. His training made sure he kept his eyes open to the little things, and through his life and career he's had to make and break plans on an almost daily basis, things never go as you really want them to, so why worry about it.
    
  • Short Tempered
    
    He's is quick to anger, there is no other way to put it. Jason holds grudges, he doesn't apologise for insulting people, and he generally means his insults. Even when he's genuinely trying to help people Jason can find himself getting irritable. The drinking is something Jason could do without, but he likes it, it helps him unwind and forget about all the bullshit in his life.
    
  
  
  History
  
  
  The son of two dancers, Jason grew up in a pretty comfortable atmosphere, he spent his childhood following the ballet around Europe and the USA, at least until a traffic accident robbed him of his father, and subsequently his mother, causing both himself and his younger sister to go into care. It took him decades to find her again.
  
  
  Signing up to the Marines as a way out of the care system, Jason rose through the ranks, eventually landing a gig as a security detail member at a Commonwealth run hospital, Clarke-Knight. It wasn't long after this that the Hospital got ransacked by a group of drugged up Supersoldiers, an event known to history as the Rapture Incident.
  
  
  Eventually things got back together, life moved on, and Commonwealth set out to save their reputation while pre-emptively trying to educate the next generation of power users about the dangers of the world. As one of the few Commonwealth agents with their reputation or life still intact, Jason was offered the position of a Teacher at the new institute. Over time he found himself taking on the position of Headmaster, a role he utilises to the fullest, aiming to instil a sense of duty, honour, and compassion, into the pupils that walk through the doors each morning.
• 
  
  
  Swan, Maiya
  
  
  Relationship: Younger sister
  
  
  Age: 50
  
  
  Jason and Maiya have had a turbulent relationship over the years, being separated at a young age through the care system, it took them 25 years to finally find each other again. After finding themselves on opposite sides during the Rapture Incident, Maiya and Jason have reconciled, and now live together on the outskirts of the city.

  Primary Power
  
  
  Jason's long-standing codename, Audio, comes from his unusual ability to control, project, and suppress soundwaves. He can produce waves of sound energy at almost any range in the spectrum, releasing notes that are so low they shake apart bricks and mortar, crumble concrete, and and cripple bones, and tones high enough to warp steel, boil water, and disintegrate cellular structure. His projections have been recorded reaching a loudness of up to 190db, having a pressure force stronger 1 ton of T.N.T. at 100 feet.
  
  
  By releasing sound energy in concentrated controlled blasts, Jason can use them as a defensive measure, hitting targets with enough force to blow them back or enough to divert projectiles off course. Alternatively, Jason can suppress sound waves in an area, absorbing all sound energy in the air around a target, causing confusion amongst enemy targets.
  
  
  Secondary powers
  
  
  Jason's physiology is slightly altered compared to normal humans, his hearing is enhanced, allowing him to pick out conversations from great distances, and see using accurate echolocation, as well as withstand the shocks of his own powers.
  
  
  He may also have a mild passive psychic ability, which would account for his ability to accurately decrypt echolocation information to a pinpoint.
  
  
  Weaknesses
  
  
  Jansen's powers have several faults, they come with high collateral damage risks at higher outputs, as, unlike a bullet, soundwaves spread and disperse, which he finds difficult to contain at higher levels.
  
  
  His hearing, being more sensitive than normal humans, is a glaring weakness unless he actively concentrates and protects himself, something he must do before ever output of his primary power. Loud noises from sources other than himself can have a big effect on him if he's not paying attention.
  
  
  Rain and other water droplets in the air, as well as high wind speeds, interfere with his soundwaves path, decreasing his effectiveness and control. It also has the added effect of making his echolocation all but useless, and increasing the environmental noise he must try to suppress. In raining days Jansen might find his power down by half, depending on the severity.

[Uncultured]

For the strength statistic, is this a statistic that is on the superhuman scale or on the human scale?


i.e would The Rock be a 10 on the scale because he is jacked compared to the average human, or a 1 because superman would snap his body in half if they arm wrestled?

 

[Giyari]

@HunterJJ Not... not sure? I've interpreted it as superhero scale, with 1-2 being "Normal unpowered human" taking their super power into consideration
