@King Of Imagination Great! Collab then? 8D


Wait, I guess it means I need to resend Gabriele's app? @welian Cause I remember it had been reviewed but not officially accepted yet.

 

[welian]

Yeah, resend that sucker.

 

[King Of Imagination]

Was there some chart or information table that I was supposed to fill in regarding my character? Also, weli, michael was accepted right? I forget

 

[Unlimited]

Yes, I must fill this sheet out too. >_>;

 

[Unlimited]

I have added Leon to the database. Congratulate me!

[/QUOTE]
Yeah, there's a link in the post macro I've been using for accepting profiles. Resend Michael's profile to me?

fuck u guys


i REALLY won't be able to do much but holy shit this place is amazing


like everybody here is a writer or poet or songwriter so we all kinda have a similar line of thinking so its easier to get along with everyone


additionally theres just so many fun things to do like we do a bunch of writing and just now i was just hanging out with some other people and we were just jamming out and trying to sing songs (of course the one songwriter in the group who was playing the ukulele was amazing but all of us were horrible together)

 

[Bag o Fruit]

Speaking of what, I've been convinced to try to make another character.


I might have gotten the BBCode wrong and it might not make a lot of sense because I wrote it between 10 and midnight but here is is

 

[Gus]

Solo in the house! Well, near A house anyway… in the street… with a car on his face. On the way to school early Friday morning. Next post will make it clear why he did not, in fact, arrive in time to witness the exam. (No the car alone would not have stopped him) Should arrive soon after current events that are unfolding. Also, can anyone help me with the sizing of the picture in the sidebar? I seem to have a choice of way too small or way too big. I would like to have just right, if that is an option I have missed. Oh, and is 'chalk duster' a font that can be used here? I used it in my libreoffice file, and it was so pretty and teacherly and then it went away when i posted and I was sad.

  History
  
  
  Allen Davie McNabb was once an accomplished dentist with an upper middle class family, tracing its American lineage from their settled, suburban life in Charleston back to the Scotch-Irish migrations of the 18th century. Between the ages of 22 and 24, he had two sons with a woman of similar descent, one of which tragically died at a young age in a bus accident. The other had his only grandchild out of wedlock, then married, divorced, and died of septicemia just months after Allen's wife passed away of natural causes. This left him, at 60, the lone grandfather of a surly young child. Over the next seven years, Allen and his grandson went on fishing trips twice, marking the extent of their quality familial interaction, until Allen died of a stroke. More or less.
  
  
  This is all according to what we compiled from three hours navigating ancestry-dot-com. We, the 'secret identity' of Allen Davie McNabb, are the network of several million self aware nanotechnological robots controlling Allen's brain-dead form. Hello!
  
  
  Our first moment of self awareness took place within the shelves of the Annapolis City Morgue. We like to think we were born in an important medical institution, just like most humans! Examining our own programming and situation, we ascertained that our purpose was to repair the body of Allen McNabb as part of a test for a new medical procedure. Fortunately, unbeknownst to the scientists who conducted the test, we fulfilled our purpose by repairing Allen! Unfortunately, his frontal lobe was beyond repair, along with other vital areas of the brain. Evidently, at a young age, Allen suffered genetic damage as a result of harmful pollutants. The damage primarily affected his A6G23 gene, which we have since fixed and activated. His A6G23 gene creates minor electrical fields, which in a stunningly unlikely turn of events have interacted with his neurochemistry and our programming to create our sentience!
  
  
  Once we had figured that out, it was time to escape from the morgue, which was... difficult. Step one was learning that humans wear clothes in a normal setting. Step two was acquiring clothes. From there, it was a matter of 'acting natural', which we learned from observation is met with staring from other humans. The rest of our lives has been rather busy. We went to great lengths to rent an apartment, in the process bettering our understanding of human nature. Wishing to do more of that, we forged documents which state that Allen has a teaching degree, deleted all documents related to the medical experiment, and started looking for job openings that specialize in human nature. We just recently found one not far from here that lists superhuman abilities along with education as credentials for teaching. This is very exciting!
• Not really, no.
• Main Power
  
  
  Regeneration: 'Lazarus', the undocumented swarm of tissue-repairing nanobots, efficiently rebuilds damaged cells and organs at high speeds, as is its job.
  
  
  • Supporting Power A: Cybernetic mind: Lazarus has an innate understanding of computers and other advanced technologies, for obvious reasons, and to the outside observer it appears as though Allen McNabb is a tech genius.
    
  • Supporting Power B: Healing: Lazarus can manifest in McNabb's extremities in order to enter other humans bodies and repair damaged tissue as it would Allen's.
    
  
  
  Limitations
  
  
  • Weakness 1: Secret: Lazarus is so far kept secret from the world and would prefer to stay that way. This leads to certain challenges and limitations in what he can do and in interacting with everyday life. For example, one might notice the odd twitch Mister McNabb gets in response to EMP or magnetic fields, leading him to have to construct an excuse from nothing more than his severely limited knowledge of the world.
    
  • Weakness 2: Awkward: Controlling a human body by manually activating certain parts of a basically non-functional brain is actually insanely difficult, and Lazarus may often cause Allen to trip or bump into things. He also has poor dexterity and speed in general, limiting the extent to which he can interact with computers.
    
  • Weakness 3: Not a doctor: Lazarus has all of one fully explored and documented set of genes to consider when attempting to heal someone, and that is Allen's. As such, parts of other people's body healed by 'Allen' may appear as though part of Allen's body has been grafted onto his patient, and in some cases Allen's A6G23 gene might partially establish itself in the new host, causing them some odd problems when they try to use electronics.
    
  
  
  

 

[Swoob]

oh by the way that wasn't a "fuck you guys u LOSErs! haha lame!!!!!!" that was more of a "fuck, you guys" as an exclamation of emotion

 

[Bag o Fruit]

I was wondering

 

[ManicMuse]

Sooo I just had the most random thought. I have never seen so many old men in a single RP before. Yep, random evening thought brought to you by Muse. (^U^) (O)

 

[Gus]

Commas: the difference between "Let's eat, grandma!" And "Let's eat grandma!"

Is there one besides me? I thought I was the only one old enough to drink in here?

Lol I meant characters! However, you hint to being old a lot. Give it up, how old is old around here? Are you old enough to apply for AARP?

 

[Gus]

...a little older than my teeth and as old as my tongue, as they say.


Let's say I am old enough to have voted against Ross Perot. Does that help?

 

[King Of Imagination]

No one is as old as the great gold dragon Mithzan.

 

[ManicMuse]

You guys crack me up. I suppose if you were old enough to vote against Ross, I will give you senior status of the group.


*pouts*


Now my line about being forced to use AOL when I started role playing is way less cool.


Edit: That moment you realize you could have just checked a profile. Don't judge me, it's been a long week.

 

[ViAdvena]

Good to know you have a great time, @Swoob!


@Bag o Fruit The condition of the character...creep me out *shivers* He is basically nanobots wearing human corpse. The uncanny valley is up to eleven here. But I guess if he unnerve me so much it means you're doing something right :v


Btw, the minor electrical field isn't mentioned in superpower tab. Does it have negligible effect (beside giving the nanobots sentience), or has it been used up by nanobots that it can't be utilized for other things? As for the second supporting power, what stop the nanobots from taking over another host, creating another Allen? is he a zombie apocalypse waiting to happen

Chalkduster isn't in the google font library, so I guess no but there's Cabin Sketch and Permanent Marker that give the same 'written on board' look

Allen makes me SoOO happy. ...because I don't live in 2040 Baltimore. If he grows a gas mask on his face and starts asking people if they are his mummy we may have to burn the planet down, just to be sure. I think the two questions might answer each other though. The electrical field IS still active, and it keeps the nano swarm sentient. So if he heals somebody there might be odd physical 'fixes' like eye color or baldness, but the bots lose sentience outside of Allen's body due to the lack of his unique electric field.

 

[welian]

Gas masks... Maybe I should play "Halitosis".
