Sup nerds?


I'm going to be returning to the RP this weekend, so don't get comfy. ;3

 

[MISTER UN. 0W3N]

And, just when I finished building my fort too.

 

[sorrow made you]

I edited Luci's opening post and tagged @Teh Frixz in it, but I don't know if that'll show up well in their alerts, so here is another tag to make sure they know. I'll quote it below for ease.

OH! No, it doesn't notify in the alerts if there's an edit.


Thanks for letting me know! xD


I feel like a dumb. xD

 

[lazee]

EMMAAAAAAAAA


@CRiTiCAL ERR0R Love that art, where'd you find it?

 

[sorrow made you]

@Lazy Rocktime, I looked up Himemiya Yuri on zerochan. Its one of my go-to sites for finding anime/drawn pictures for characters.

 

[welian]

First thought: "Oh, it's Maka with yin-yan hair."

 

[sorrow made you]

Its funny because that's what I initially thought too. xD

 

[lazee]

Hmm...to have animal telepathy as a power or avian telepathy...


Decisions, they are hard.

 

[MISTER UN. 0W3N]

@Lazy Rocktime


That sounds pretty nifty. I'd go for avian telepathy because you can go "brave bird" and have them flock upon your enemies. :U

  Personality
  
  
  +Empathetic: Perhaps Minah's most prominent trait is her ability to feel and more importantly understand what others are feeling or could be feeling. She knows how it would feel like to be treated badly, so she refrains from doing so. Stemming from her own desire for being understood, she is probably the best person to vent you will ever be blessed to see...if you can get past her inability to socialize adequately.
  
  
  ~Desires Affection: Having been deprived of parents and still suffering a deficit of friendship, Minah has become somewhat of a 'hopeless romantic'. All she desires is to love and be loved. She tends to attach herself to someone of moral stature, so as to imitate having a father figure.
  
  
  
  
  
  ~Inquisitive: Plunged into a world devoid of warmth and innocence and then finally freed from said world only recently, fate now leaves her with an undying curiosity and anemoia: nostalgia for the time she never experienced. She wants to know what the hell she has been missing out on.
  
  
  -Socially Inept: Minah has lost the privilege of a normal childhood and, consequently, the invaluable learning experiences that come with it, be it concerning socialization or manners. Since she was only recently given the basics of social conduct as part of rehabilitation, Minah is prone to making the wrong things at the wrong time and her sense of etiquette is far different from the American sense. This can make her come across as...weird or unapproachable.
  
  
  History
  
  
  Before everything went to hell, Minah was Minato Saotome, a wide-eyed girl from Kobe, Japan. Born on the 5th of March, she grew up in a fairly condusive environment. She had a twin sister, Minami, who competed with her in every aspect like children should. Her parents were caring and loving, both teachers at local high schools. Their paycheck was modest at best, but they managed to save up for a family vacation and they finally made it happen when Minato was 10 years old. Destination? South Africa. Everything was set and ready for a wonderful time for the family.
  
  
  
  
  
  But fate refused to cooperate.
  
  
  The flight boarded by the Saotome family never made it to South Africa. After engine complications coupled with turbulent weather, it crash landed in Aceh, leaving almost the entirety of its passengers and crew dead. That is, save for Minato. Against all odds, the young girl survived, but was left to survive in the tropic jungles of Sumatra. Thankfully, she quickly found a group of people with guns residing in the jungle who were willing to take her in. And foolishly, she followed them, not knowing that they were Acehnese insurgents.
  
  
  Aceh had always been a land synonymous with conflict, but that year marked the rise of a new rebellion, one that once more fights the 'infidel government'. The rebels that took in Minato did so out of false good faith. Poor girl would later be shocked to find herself forced onto the battlefield. She was not the first, for she met dozens of fellow children, most older and some even younger than her, ousted onto guerilla warfare. Their lives were pitiful. Forced to fight and kill under threat of execution by day and imprisoned, abused mercilessly by night. At the very least she shared that horrible fate with others. At the very least she found camaraderie amongst her brothers and sisters in arms.
  
  
  At the very least Minah, as she had been called, was not alone.
  
  
  But still, days filled with bloodshed did not bode well for her psyche. All that mental strife piled up bit by bit until finally, when she was 15, she broke. One day on the battlefield, she decided to not take up arms. Her rebel captors went up to kill her immediately, but just as they approached her, she screamed but one word on top of her lungs, the word most resounding in her mind; "HELP!". Almost instantly, the daunting sound of give or take a thousand crows echoed throughout the vicinity. The birds went on a warpath and struck at the militants with their beaks. Unable to fight off the murder of crows, the vile insurgents ran off in terror into the jungle. Everyone in the vicinity, from friend to foe, soon followed, the crows showed no prejudice in their bloodbath. In the panic, one dropped his fully loaded assault rifle.
  
  
  You can see what's going to happen.
  
  
  Heart filled with vengeance, Minah opened fire on the fleeing insurgents. Too harried by the birds to return fire (do you know how hard it is to fire at a crow in midflight while being attacked by countless others?), they made for easy targets. Unlike all those times, she relished the deaths, every corpse dropping to the ground filling her with sick euphoria. In her frenzy of bloodlust, she had also slain her fellow child soldiers without realizing it. Once there was nothing left to kill, she went off into the wilderness. With no company but the birds.
  
  
  Minah and her avian minions carved her own path of destruction throughout Aceh, killing anyone and anything she came across out of sheer paranoia. Those few who saw her and lived returned bearing legends. Soldiers from both sides alike feared her as The Bird Witch of Aceh, a ghost-like entity with supernatural control over birds. Her chaotic actions drew the attention of central Indonesian command. Elite soldiers, the Kopassus, were deployed into Aceh to hunt down the Bird Witch. Despite Minah's best efforts, she could not escape the country's finest and they managed to subdue her and subsequently sent to Jakarta for detainment.
  
  
  Minah found that the government treat her fairly well. Her time with them could be better referred to as rehabilitation as they taught her how to function better in society. They also conducted research concerning her powers. Agents from a place called the Commonwealth were brought in. These guys told her after some experimentation that Minah was a B-level super. Well, not that she cared.
  
  
  But she was interested in the mutual agreement made between the government and the Commonwealth people. It had been decided that she was to be given American citizenship and sent to a facility for supers where she could safely augment her powers to a 'not-murdering' level. Never had she been so excited. And so on the day of her 18th birthday, she departed for the United States, to be interred at Facility 108. They also informed her of her legal guardian while in the facility, as good as a godfather as far as she was concerned.
  
  
  His name was Klaus vos Scheiffer.
  
  
  
• 
  
  
  Klaus vos Scheiffer, 50: Her legal guardian/godfather, the German figure was a mystery to Minah (seeing as, you know, she hadn't met hin yet), but people told her ahe was a decent enough person and that was enough for her.
  
  
  

• Ability	Points	Total	Description
  Health:	?????????​	3	The ability to resist illness and recover quickly from injuries, overall health.
  Strength	?????????​	3	Physical strength, the ability to strike hard, lift heavy objects, and so on.
  Toughness	?????????​	2	Endurance and stamina, the ability to take a hit and still keep going.
  Agility	?????????​	4	Speed, dexterity, nimbleness - agility is the ability to move quickly.
  Intelligence	?????????​	2	Not book smarts, but the ability to perceive and retain lots of information.
  Willpower	?????????​	1	Strength of mind, the ability to stay focused and determined.

  
  
  Primary Power
  
  
  Avian Telepathy: Minah is able to communicate with all matter of birds, from pigeons to falcons. With some effort, she could also command them to do various tasks. Her telepathy is truly limited to the Aves class.
  
  
  Secondary powers
  
  
  Telepathic deterrent: Minah's woes and past ghosts come from the mind and they never really stay away from her train of thought. As such, it might take awhile before she can truly forget or at the very least suppress them. Anyone who looks into her mind is subject to the full brunt of the horrors that are her memories. Once, a mind reader attempted to delve into her mind and the sheer intensity of the internal strife put him in a week-long coma.
  
  
  Corvophile: Minah has a special connection with crows as they were the first birds that came under her influence. Her presence is practically a bird magnet, only intensified with crows. She is inclined to go where there are birds and birds tend to come to her on their own. But if she gives her companions too little attention, most of the birds will return to their businesses. Don't call her a chick magnet.
  
  
  Weaknesses
  
  
  Proportionate: Minah can only talk to so many birds at a time. It is indeed easier for her at present to control one or two birds instead of a whole swarm of them. Maintaining dominance over an individual bird is also quite taxing on her mind.
  
  
  Every Bird is Different: Contrary to popular belief, birds do have feelings, free will and, to some degree, conscience. Individuals act differently despite flock instinct and not all birds are so willing to serve Minah as easily as others. A bond must be formed between man and bird before she can control them with relative ease and bonds don't come easy. It has been noted that pigeons are statistically the most rebellious and insubordinate among common birds and crows are the most obedient.
  
  
  Overpowering: Minah's mind is not the most stable of minds, to be sure. She suffers from night terrors, gunfire-related anxiety attacks and severe moral dysfunction. Whilst psychologists are hard at work in perfecting her recovery, it still stands that Minah's greatest weakness is often herself.

As an Indonesian...


You might want to swap Aceh with Poso, the current hotbed of terrorism in Indonesia where the insurgents hide themselves in the forest and train there and one that truly synonymous with conflict here (biggest conflict in aceh is with GAM years ago)


Also Detachment 88/Densus88 is a counter terrorism squad. If by special agents you mean something equal to CIA we have BIN (Badan Intelejen Negara) thought they always hide in the shadow and let 88 did all hard work.


Edit: Oh and we also have Kopassus that probably equal to Navy SEAL, conducting secret operation and shit like that


Also what a codename.

Kopassus was indeed what I meant, I've mixed up the two due to the recent brutality cases concerning the 88. As for the matter of location, this is 2054 in a world of supers. The matters at Sulawesi may be solved, but GAM might at that same time make a huge comeback. Plus, the location is all the more convenient. I just like Sumatra more than that frickin K-shaped island sue me
