No, I don't mean experimenting or abnormal lengths. I just meant like while he was in there, they were just generally "unpleasant" at a slightly more extreme level. Like in some prisons of certain countries, certain prisoners were beaten for disobeying rules and regulations or for being... "insubordinate" in a way to the guards or warden. I'm saying it happened more for mutants because of humanity's distaste for them; like... they have power that humans can't possess, so they persecute them physically out of jealousy. This is only true for the average to sub-par human being; not saying it was everyone, but it happens nonetheless by the mass majority. This happens in any society, like with the Christians during the first century, Protestants of later on, Quakers, European Islamic people during the 10th century, the Order of the Knights Templar during the 13th and early 14th centuries; thinks like this are natural in every society in every time period. Though nowadays, it's not as prominent in the U.S., but it's still there.

Costume Appearance: Shown above. He has no need for a mask due to his speed
Power: Super Speed- Jay has the ability to move, think, and react at incredible speeds far beyond what a normal human being can reach. Exactly how fast he can move is yet to be discovered to his fear of hurting those around him by moving too fast. So far, however, he has reached up to 200 mph, but no more.
Limitations: The ability that Jay posses comes with many restrictions. For example, due to his abnormal metabolism his calorie intake is enormous. However, if he does not eat what his body requires him to eat then he will pass out. Yet another limitation is the obstacles that nature puts around Jay. Closed spaces or slippery surfaces put him at a great disadvantage.
Class: Hero
Bio(2 paragraphs minimum): Jay's life has been seemingly normal for the son of a famous musician. He's traveled all over the world and been to many different places while his father is on tour. However, having a rock star for a dad is not all that it's cut out to be. Jay's father pressured him when he was growing up to like modern rock and to learn how to play electric guitar. Unfortunately for his father, Jay was a bigger fan of the softer sounds of the acoustic guitar and Classic Rock's legendary tunes. They often fought about this which meant Jay ran from home several times and often lived in the street. Finally, he turned eighteen and moved out to New York City with his guitar to find himself.
Jay arrived in New York City and it was great. Yes, he spent his days playing on the street for money and sleeping under bridges at first but eventually he started playing gigs in bars and clubs so that he was able to buy an apartment. Everything was fantastic until something fell out of the sky on August. People with strange abilities where beginning to be spotted and so tests began. Contender. That was all that Jay was and in his eyes that was just fine. One day, while walking to a gig, he spotted a child playing on the street. The child's ball was knocked over to where some workers where working on live power lines but even so the child ran over. Out of instinct, Jay pushed the child out of the way and fell on the live power lines. He was dead. Then alive. None of that truly mattered because after his "shock" his powers awakened. Upon realizing what he could do he applied for an internship at a paper and got a job so he could try to help people. For a bit, he had been learning to control his abilities but now he is ready to try and change the world around him. However, Jay's test is coming up soon which will show he is a mutant and so far he has no clue as to what he'll do.

Just a few small things bug me. One is that moving fast does not equil doing everything fast. His ability to learn would not be effected by his ability to move fast. He can be intelligent, but only to a normal level that fits his background and such. The next thing is more of a clarification than anything. I'm ok with 200/mph being his current top speed, but keep in mind that he will almost never have the opportunity to get that fast in New York. The faster he is the harder it will be to change the direction of your momentum.Gh0st said:

I'm sorry, I should have clarified better. His ability to learn, read, speak, and think quickly come from the fact that his brain processes information at the same speed that he moves. Now, this power is a necessity considering that if his brain was that of a normal person than there would be no way he'd be able to use his abilities without basically running into things and most likely damaging himself to a point that death would follow. As for the momentum, this is why Jay's brain needs to move as fast as his body. This way, he can make calculations to move and change directions at such speeds in a crowded city.

Name: Brady Harrison
Code Name (if applicable): Springer
Age: 22 Years old
Gender: Male
Appearance:https://www.pinterest.com/pin/303993043573291822/
Costume Appearance: Springer doesn't really wear a costume but instead wears his military combat unif
Power: Brady's powers work by gathering or otherwise obtaining potential energy and storing it within his body to be released once the desired amount of energy has been obtained. In other words his body is a giant spring. He is capable of flexing to gain energy but also gains energy through physical damage. An example of the powers use is jumping, gathering the potential energy in both legs while flexing down would allow him to leap great heights but not sky scraper status. Another example would be a simple punch could be increased enough to break a brick wall or crack concrete. Now taking damage works in a special way as well. For the most part he will absorb physical damage but he must take this damage without moving. Otherwise the energy that would be stored is lost with the movement.
Limitations: One major weakness would be any form of mental attack. He is very irritable and could be easily manipulated. As for the powers themselves, using the energy has a back draw as well. If not all the stored energy is used in the single move it leaves him bouncing around until all the energy has be used up. Similar to how if you bounced a rubber ball in a short room it would go up and down off whatever it hits regardless of what you want it to do. As a result this power can be hard to aim and occasionally takes time to "load" depending on how much energy is desired. Finally, he is little to no use in a long ranged fight having little to no skill with ranged weapons or firearms as well.

Rook
Watcher of the Abyss
Man, now i want to play Dark Souls. Curse you and your Havel armorSirDerpingtonIV said:Name: Currently Unknown
Code Name (if applicable): The Rook
Age: Currently Unknown
Gender: Currently Unknown
Appearance: Underneath Rook's armor. (If anyone manages to get close enough), a single grey eye can be seen through the visor of its helm, on the right side of its face. Nothing else can be seen.
Costume Appearance:
Power: Basic Stone manipulation.
Rook is able to manipulate stone, to shape it, move it, control it. At the current moment in time, Rook is only able to control its armor and weapons. However, it is practically a moving mountain, and incredibly difficult to stop. At 8 feet tall, this suit of armor towers over its foes, and is strong enough to smash down walls easily. It is resistant against many things, being entirely immune to electricity, thanks to its armor, and being heavily resistant to traditional weaponry, as bullets have little effect. Due to its weight, it has very little balance, and can be knocked over. Once on its back, it has trouble getting back up. Blades have trouble piercing the armor, however brute, blunt force can knock it onto its back.
Limitations: Anything other than stone is uncontrollable. Additionally, it is unable to control anything other than its armor, and weapons at the moment. It is incredibly slow however, and is rather large, unable to fit in tight spaces. Additionally, water is a MAJOR weakness. The suit of armor does not float, and water inside of the armor can easily drown the mutant inside. Fire is also a weakness, but only in high ammounts. If there is too much, the armor can turn into a furnace, and roast the mutant inside. Additionally, it is quite loud, and is entirely unable to hide.
Class: Vigilante, though mostly neutral.
Bio: Nothing is known about Rook. The suit of armor does no give away even so much as a name. However, several educated guesses could be made. Judging by its simple vocabulary, and lack of knowledge about many things, it came from a rather poor family. It seems to get nervous around people, and is quite suspicious. So, it has probably been betrayed in its past, bullied, or both. It lives alone, in some dark, quiet alleyway, without a family or friends, so it can be guessed that they died, moved away, or were imprisoned.
Rook's history since the landing of the core however, is much more clear. Several days after the core landed, rumors spread of a massive stone figure wandering the city. These rumors became newspaper articles, when this strange stone figure began to go on a vigilante spree. First, a bank robbery. Two armed men had entered one of the city's smaller banks when it was closed. One of them was an employee, who knew how to get inside. A citizen saw them in the act, and phoned the police. However, when the police arrived, a gun battle ensued between the police and the two robbers. One of the robbers seemed to be a crack-shot with the AR-15 he carried, and killed two police officers. However, suddenly, Rook appeared, barreling through the police lines, and simply smashing through the bank's doors, a massive stone club, and a stone shield as tall as a man in its hands. The robber's bullets simply bounced off, as it took the first shooter out, flattening him against the wall with its shield. The second one tried to flee, but a horizontal swing of the club sent him hurling out the window, his spine and many of his ribs broken. The police didn't open fire, out of fear of being the next ones to be flattened, as the suit of armor simply walked out. Over the next few months, Rook would stop several crimes, all of which murders or attempted murders. None of the criminal scum who encountered Rook recieved any mercy, being smashed into pulps.
Other: Can't stop the rock. Also, highfive to anyone who understands where the costume is from. I think he might just be a tad OP. Sorry

A muscular, yet well trained, and agile frame with very prominent black, with hints of red, hair. Tall, yet not insanely so, the features of Tyrant's body display a lifestyle of fighting, one which is adapted to both agility and utter, brutal strenght. The most visible feature of his frame is, however, the lack of a left arm. How this came to be is unknown. Tyrant also only sports one eye, the right one being the one which was lost. He has reddish eye color.
Costume Appearance:
(Imagine it just like the picture above, just more modern military style, with a cool helmet, and of course, ((Can't forget)) a ripped cape.)
Wearing the armed forces colors, and equipped with a custom made uniform with wonderful defensive ability, Tyrant is more than comfortable in this piece of kit. The armor itself sports the occasional piece of hard metal armor, but generally consists of capable, agile and durable kevlar weaved into the uniform itself.

But suddenly, with a burst of darkness, and a sudden surge in his own body, he felt different. In fact, he was quickly rendered unconcious and barely survived thanks to the doctors present at the hospital.
Little did he know, that when the initial DNA tests began, he would found positive, and would be designated a 'mutant'. All this after having been unconcious for a long while. He was very surprised, incredibly so, and little did he know that he would be taken in under the wing of the military and finally serve his country well.

The armor itself sports the occasional piece of hard metal armor, but generally consists of capable, agile and durable kevlar weaved into the uniform itself. Therefore bullets are generally not threatening.
Power:
Electromagnetic Generator
- Tyrant has the powerful traits which allow him to generate electricity within his arm, the electricity is embedded to his palm but it is not controlled, therefore if in contact with anything it would jump directly into the earth through whatever it was he had contact with. Basically it's a normal lightning generated to his palm, and kept there, until he is in contact with anything.
- Tyrants electromagnetic generator has also evolved another power within his one remaining eye, he is able to see the electromagnetic currents as if they were more prominent than anything else in his field of vision. They stick out like a sore thumb.
Limitations:
- Electromagnetic Generator is limited to the gestures of Tyrant's naked palm, therefore he is limited to one action at a time. Electromagnetic Generator has a very slight risk, it is completely probable for the lightning to travel through his torso, thereby damaging him incredibly. Even though his torso has a slight resistance, it would still be incredibly harmful for him. It has not yet happened, however.
- Electricity follow its natural laws, it desires to reach the ground, therefore it will take the slowest possible route through a conduit. Anything that Tyrant touches with his hand when EG is activated will act as that conduit.
- Electromagnetic Generator requires immense endurance, because of this, even people like Tyrant, who are well trained, would end up exhausted after a while.
- Only Tyrants lower body and right arm are immune to the electricity.

Couple of things I need to touch on. What kind of technology do you think we have? This is just about modern times, so creating a mechanical arm isn't exactly realistic. I know this isn't my area of specialty, but we don't' have that technology well enough to be worth it doesn't really exist. I know he refused the arm, I'm just pointing this out. "High Tech Armor" isn't' something I can just accept and trust you won't somehow slip some OP move behind. And it is a horrid description. I even looked it up and found nothing on it. Next is your power. No way in hell. Controlling anything you want to, no matter how short it lasts or how small the area it affects, is OP by any role play I could ever make and especially this one. Before you argue, just no. And in his class, you are part of the military or not. There is o grey area for "uncertain". This could end up working, but it will require some work.U235 said:Name:

Costume Appearance:
(Imagine it just like the picture above, just more high-tech armor-like, with a cool helmet, and of course, ((Can't forget)) a ripped cape.)
Wearing the armed forces powerful TL-X1 power armor, Tyrant is well equipped, however due to his unique physical attributes, and his ridiculous unwillingness to gain a substitute arm, it has been customised to quite great lenghts. The TL-X1 armor now follows Tyrant's desire for speed and force with space to maneuver around in it, the armor is much like a second skin to Tyrant. The head piece can retract ever so slightly allowing his face to greet the fresh air outside his suit.
Power:
Spatial Control
- Tyrant has the powerful skill of spatial control. Spatial control allows the user to properly dictate and rule over how they desire space to look and behave, through spatial control one can replace space with void, or void with space. It is a very black and white power, but it's thanks to this ability that Tyrant has become the person he is now.
- Spatial control has a range of 25 meters centering from the right hand palm of Tyrant. Depending on the size of the spatial distortion which Tyrant creates it can take more effort, and even temporarily stun him.
- Spatial distortions have a very slight gravitational force.
Limitations:
- Spatial control is limited to the gestures of Tyrant's naked palm, therefore he is limited to one action at a time. Spatial control has a cooldown time of 15 seconds.
- All spatial distortions, no matter how large, cease to exist, and are replaced with what they replaced themselves, after 2 minutes.
- Spatial Control requires immense endurance, because of this, even people like Tyrant, who are well trained, would end up exhausted after a dozen, or so, spatial distortions.

I did. The ones I saw were not very functional in a combat state, which this RP has a lot of. And if you would please be so kind as to read it again, I pointed out that I said that for the purpose of dwmonstating the level of technology they have.

I sometimes go boom.
Now, now, I understand.
To my defence the state of technology, nor the actual date of the roleplay was never really announced on any piece of information I could find. But I completely understand your concerns. To be honest, this was something I mashed up at just about 11 PM and will now undergo a thorough referbishment process.
The 'uncertain' part is more that he, himself, acts as if he is on different sides when in fact he is on one. Granted, any human can change opinion, and this 'uncertain' trait which I added makes it so that he requires less talking in order to sway into another faction.
There we go, stuck with the slightly cliché power of the electromagnetic grid, but it's better than whatever he had prior.
