Guys, consider this arc the prologue to the story. After this, it's going to be sandbox-mode for awhile.

Also, a few people haven't posted yet (Or in awhile)... Can I get some confirmation on whether or not they're here before I go onto replacing ya'll? :D@Mr Allen J

Sorry guys, I got bogged down with work the last two days. I'm really far behind so you can just count me out. You can kill me or ignore me or whatever. If you want me to post an exit IC, just let me know.

Nah, you can stick around if you want. We're coming up to a point where you can flesh out your character.

If you don't wanna stick around, then just leave it to me.

Alright, here are some more NPCs that will have varying levels of relevance. Last bunch of NPCs for a little bit.

Name: 
Khan (Real name unknown)

Age: 
Uncertain, likely in mid-thirties.

Description: 
The leader of the Fiends, and a feared Metahuman, Khan appears to be an Asian woman with very pale and sickly skin. She has a very small, and malnourished frame, with little curves, and her dirty, dark-brown hair is tied up into a bun. She looks very sick. She tends to dress very lightly, usually wearing a bikini of some sort, and any form of pants. However, despite her looks, Khan appears to have military training from somewhere, as she's displayed impressive hand-to-hand combat, and weapon. And she knows just how to deal with NEST, and screw with their heads. Khan is a high-priority target for NEST.

Powers: 
Miasma. NEST Reports that Khan has the power to secrete a whitish-blue fog from her body, and transform into this fog to become intangible (At the cost of the fog disappearing). It has two primary characteristics. Once it comes in contact with a dead, or unconscious, body, it will take control of the body and seemingly "revive" the person. From there, Khan can give these zombies very basic orders. These zombies can only operate within her cloud of fog, and are hard to kill due to their nature. Second effect is that anyone who inhales the fog will begin to have hallucinations. The longer they breath in the fog, the worse the effects will be. Until the person goes mad. The largest feat Khan preformed with this power was engulf most an entire district with it.


Name: 
Ariella D. Sinclair (Callsign Lamplighter)

Age: 
26

Description: 
Ariella D. Sinclair acts as Mission Control for a majority of the rank & file NEST Agents. She was formerly a field agent, but she was assigned to act as mission control after an incident. She also acts as the Quartermaster for the Armory from time to time. Ariella is a small-framed, 5'5 woman, with a very well toned build. She has plenty of muscles underneath her uniform from working out. She's of German descents, and has blonde-hair that's kept in a pony-tail.

Powers: 
Elemental-Orb Creation. Ariella has the power to create floating orbs of elements (Fire, Electricity, Water, etc) and control them. The largest orb she's created was the size of a yoga-ball.


Name: 
Molly Schuler

Age: 
28

Description: 
Molly Schuler, intrepid reporter. Molly is the top-reporter for Verthaven, and is often the first face people see on the news when something happens. She's a woman of Eastern European descents, going off her Olive skin. She has sharp-facial features, and is quite striking, her black hair is tied into a neat bun. Her body is curvy, and she usually wears suits that accentuate her figure.

Powers: 
None

What do you call the thing used to hold a rifle? Is it a holster or something else? 

Also, next act I want to try to interact more with some other members, as I have a tendency of working only with Allen and Shade. Give me a ring if you want to interact with one of my characters (barring Sam because he has stuff to do) next act. @Imaginary, I definitely want to try having Eva and Nekoda meet next act. That cool with you?

On that note, I think we should plan out our future interactions in advance - since the next act will have plenty of that. Let's see...

Only person I'd see doing a lot of interaction is Jennifer. I'd personally like to see her meet up with/talk to the fabulous people she met during the bloodbath at the Festival. That cool, @ToadRopes/@Valhalla?
Meifeng is going to be with Jennifer, because that'll make it easier to introduce her to things.
Really dunno what I'm going to do with Fiona... I was thinking she meets Francis (For interactions with our worst RPer, @SepticGentleman!).
Lihua and Michelle are going to be busy fighting evil.


Oh yeah, I'm going to open the RP up to new players just to give this a boot of activity... Quick thing I need to confirm.... @Automaton,@MrDidact, @LPFan, are you three still in the RP, or...?

The rp looks interesting, Al :)
Maxx noted me about this on dA and so I decided to join the forum and the rp for old time's sake (if I can type up something in my free time, that is. I am currently busy teaching). 
Anyways... Yeah. I'll work on a character sheet later on.

Andy, Selena, and Anastasia are all open for interactions. Selena, being a highschooler, could potentially recognize and know other characters from that field. Andy's also open, he might be trolling an art museum or something later, and Anastasia is approachable but perhaps hard to strike a conversation up with.@He Who Walks Behind

I would say that Selena could know Jenny some way... but I think we do enough of these interactions as is. hahahahaha

Basic Information

Name:
Rafael Davila-Martinez

Nickname/Alias/Etc:
Ralph

Gender:
Male

Age:
29

Height:
6’3”

Weight:
157 lbs

Home District:
Knightdale Rows


Appearance

Hair Color:
Black

Eye Color:
brown

Ethnicity:
Mexican-American

Physical Appearance:
Rafael is a pretty average-looking guy, albeit rather tall and lean. Though thin, Rafael doesn’t work out much, so he’s not very big in the muscle department. Fighting isn’t his thing, and he figures he’s stressed enough already without lifting immensely heavy weights. Despite being of Mexican descent, Rafael has rather pale skin (though it is still obvious that he is of hispanic heritage). On the left side of his chest above his nipple is the tattoo of a gothic cross, and on the right side of his right calf is a tattoo of an acoustic guitar with wings. All of his tattoos are in black ink. He keeps them concealed at all times when working. Rafael’s always a pretty tense-looking guy, someone who really needs a vacation. His shoulders are tight, and he walks extremely quickly, as if slowing down would get him killed. He wreaks of “news reporter” and cologne. He is seen almost exclusively with a Starbucks coffee in his hand (a venti caffe mocha with a triple shot of espresso). No one knows how the man ever sleeps. 
Rafael’s head is heart-shaped, with medium-sized ears and a bush of curly black hair on his head kept exactly at regulation length. His face is somewhat gaunt and tired-looking, though he usually looks professional at least when on camera. Often when he doesn’t have work makeup concealing it, he has dark circles under his eyes from stress and tiredness. He has a small, rounded nose and high cheekbones. He has a small goatee which is well-trimmed to look professional.

Attire:
Business formal 24/7 unless he’s on vacation (spoiler alert; he’s never on vacation). Since he has to deal with soul-sucking media almost constantly, Rafael comes dressed for the job. He wears a slim-cut black suit with a button-down dress shirt under it. Usually this shirt is plain white, though occasionally Rafael will mix it up and wear a plaid shirt instead. Rafael has a massive tie collection and wears a different tie every day of the year, though he always switches to a black tie when he needs to go to a press conference. His suit jacket has a NEST badge on the front, and NEST patches on the shoulders. He wears a black belt and black dress shoes. There is always an earpiece in his ear. He carries a Beretta 92 SF inside of his jacket in case he is ever attacked, but he has never had to use it and hopes that he never will. On rare occasions when Rafael isn’t working, he wears a casual oxford or polo and cargo shorts, showing off his leg tattoo.


Personality

Innate & Outward Personality:
Rafael needs a vacation. Badly. It’s a running joke in the NEST office that Rafael is really a robot and every night Director Caryl shoves him in a closet and plugs him in to charge. Rafael is one of the first people on the NEST scene every day, and one of the last to leave. As such, he is both somewhat caustic and tired almost 24/7. Rafael is known to be viciously deadpan and has a short temper, causing him to often shout at employees. He isn’t well-liked around the office, but his determination earns him a degree of respect. Everyone knows how tough a job Rafael has, being pretty much the only shield between the inner workings of NEST and the soul-sucking vampires that work in the news media. He may be an ass, but he does one hell of a good job. Through years of training, Rafael has managed to learn the ultimate media poker face, an incredible sense of restraint and calm that picks up as soon as he sees the first camera. Remarkably intelligent, he is good at picking his words wisely and thinking before he speaks. 
Outside of work, Rafael tries as hard as he can to relax. It’s difficult, though; Rafael is high-strung almost around the clock, and when he gets a chance to calm down, it’s really difficult for him to be calm. This generally causes him to drink a lot, and while few would peg him as an alcoholic, he sure does love himself some wine. Rafael is single, which makes sense considering that he usually works a 98-hour work week. Yep, Rafael is a bigtime workaholic, and while he hasn’t really felt that big a degree of isolation, he has definitely alienated a lot of his friends by almost never being home.

Hobbies/Interests:
Drinking coffee, bossing around interns, arguing, addressing the media. As the Director of Media Relations for NEST in Verthaven, Rafael works a lot. When he’s not working, Rafael reads, worries, and hangs out with his friends at local restaurants and bars. He prefers acoustic music overall, and isn’t a big rock person. He has a pretty big condo in Knightdale Rows (he gets paid a lot), though he doesn’t see it much. When he is there, he usually sits on his leather sofa, drinking wine and watching TV. He is a fan of seafood, especially Hawaiian-style seafood. Despite being Mexican, Rafael doesn’t really like Mexican food. Rafael loves to play guitar, though since he works so much he rarely gets to. His dream is to someday retire to a beach in Hawaii and play guitar or ukulele.

Skills/Talents:
If faced with a large crowd of reporters, Rafael is your man. Having once been a reporter, he knows just what makes them tick and is great at bullshitting stupid questions to get people to shut up. He’d make a good politician someday. In addition to this, Rafael is remarkably intelligent, having graduated from Harvard, though he graduated with degrees in English and Journalism, so don’t expect him to pilot a spacecraft or hack a computer or something.  He’s a pretty good guitarist, though considering he doesn’t get to play much, he doesn’t do this often. Rafael can speak Spanish as well as English.

Prized Possession:
His Taylor acoustic guitar, which he keeps locked-up in a glass case in his condo so that it doesn’t get damaged.

Quote(s):
“Out of my way! Out of my fucking way! I’ve got to go do my fucking job again!” 
“As I have said before, NEST is not a transparent government agency. Our purpose is to protect the interests of Metahuman-Americans and, more importantly for the general population, to protect the interests of the American people from Metahuman threats. To effectively accomplish this goal, we cannot afford to allow the general population to understand NEST’s inner-workings. Doing such would put the people of the United States of America at an incredible risk. Next question?”

History/Bio:
I tire of doing these things…
Rafael Davila was born in Mexico, though he doesn’t really remember it. Before he turned two his family came across the border (legally) and settled in Los Angeles, where his father worked at a law firm. Unlike many other Mexican immigrants, Rafael’s father wasn’t terribly poor, and he had gone to American college to get his law degree. Rafael still felt the pang of discrimination, and he was often made fun of by his white schoolmates. He overcame this by working harder, and soon he was the smartest kid in school, blowing away every test and quiz. 
When college time came, every liberal arts school in the country seemed to pounce on Rafael and beg him to come to their school. He wanted the biggest and the best, though, and so he applied to Harvard. By some miracle of God, he got in. At Harvard, Rafael majored in English with a minor in journalism, hoping to become a writer. He graduated and found a job working for the LA Times. He worked there for a few years when he was offered a job by People Magazine, which paid significantly more. Rafael was an above average writer, but the true key to his success was his skill in working with people. He wasn’t as stressed in that point in his life. Due to his people skills and their influx of problems, NEST asked Rafael to come aboard as a media relations officer. After showing that he was particularly good at dealing with media sources, NEST promoted him to Director of Media Relations. (Yeah yeah crappy backstory don’t care).

Just to let everyone know, I'm going to timeskip next post, and start some interactions. 

Also, I'm going to post one more character in order to fill out the last character slot... She's pretty much complete, but I'll fix her up after this post.

.... Welcome back, Celo. I've been wanting to RP with you again.@Mr Allen J

Ah, I'm glad to be back. My roleplaying will probably be a bit rusty, as I have been doing role plays mostly just through notes on dA, and typing will take a while since the j, k, l, and semicolon keys on my laptop aren't working, but I should be able to post here regularly. But I am going to wait until next week to make a charcter sheet, probably, given schoolwork and traveling. I also want to be able to read the IC and character sheets, first, so... Yeah. ;v;

And yes, Maxx. Your mind control ray did work. Congratulations XD
