Character Sheet

Basic Information

Name: Jackalyn Walker ('Affectionately' called "the Jackal" by her siblings.)
Nickname/Alias/Etc: The Jackal
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Height: 5'8"
Weight: Never ask a woman for her weight.
Status: New Student
Appearance

Hair Color: Shockingly bright red, just like the rest of the Walkers.
Eye Color: Green.
Ethnicity: White (Super pale!)
Physical Appearance: Funnily enough, the Jackal cares a bit about her appearance. Her hair is long, flat, and a deep shade of blood red, tumbling down her back to her shoulderblades and staying there. She wears no make-up, and has a lean, flat figure, making her seem sickly with her pale skin. Her body is littered with scars. On her left hand, the fingertips are black with dark veins spreading down the length of each finger and converging at the palm, eventually fading by the wrist.

Attire: generally neutral colours and punk outfits, not very flashy or bright. Very covering, usually, but the shirts tend to show a lot of cleavage. Always wears this choker wherever she goes. Even if she's naked.

Personality

Outward & Innate Personality: Ah, Jackalyn Walker. As sour as a lemon and as blunt as a teaspoon, this charming bundle of sarcasm and scathing remarks keeps a thick, cold exterior to strangers and friends alike that is about as easy to break into as caked-on grease in a Mcdonald's fryer from the '80s. She doesn't get mad, like big brother Brooksy; hers is a simmering loathing, a coldness and hatred that permeates the air around her like a terrible odour. Intimidating, aloof and (worst of all) quiet, Jackalyn is obsessively protective over her family and almost constantly wary of anyone and everyone ever.

However, once (if) you manage to push and claw your way into the heart of a person who is very clearly content with what she's got already, and would rather you stuck your face into a blender than become friends with her, you'll find that Jackalyn isn't as bad as she looks. Her family in particular are honoured with the presence of a caring, gentle Jackalyn. Surprisingly, under all of that hatred is a brain; Jackalyn is very intelligent, and likes to teach her younger siblings and older brother about anything and everything that they have to come up against. She's a girl they can turn to for advice, battle-plans or homework help without being shoved away. When it comes to family, Jackalyn's a big softie over them and believes that they're all she ever needs. Aww!

Hobbies/Interests: Jackalyn's one helluva bookworm. She just can't stop herself from reading. Her other hobbies include scathing remarks, sarcasm, sulking, daydreaming, and fighting.
Skills/Talents: Jackalyn's intelligence isn't to be laughed at. It's one of her key factors, closely followed by an above average physical strength due to her constant exercise routine. She also knows a bit of French.
Prized Possession: That choker. Her collar. Touch it and you die. Break it, and you'll wish you could die. It's non-negotiable, she will not trade it for anything or anyone. It's hers and hers alone. In fact, she probably never takes that thing off, so it's pretty dirty.
Quote(s): -WILL SAVE THIS FOR HER BEST LINES IN THE RP-

History/Bio: Jackalyn was the second-born of the Walker family. Envious of her older brother when she was very young, she had to look after the younger ones a fraction more because she was the youngest, and because she was a girl. The sad truth! Brooksy had plenty of time to train his punches and kicks outdoors whilst Jackalyn gained muscle mass with the housework, the cooking and the cleaning as well as the rigorous training exercises that Phareon and Florence shunted upon their spawnlings once they were 'old enough to handle it'. Phareon and Florence Walker were Meta-humans; Phareon possessing the ability for super strength whilst his wife was telekinetic. They were both members of the army and were routinely called out for campaigns and missions, ergo making a lot of enemies. In order to protect their family (moreso their children), they bought a small remote mountainside hovel in Canada and 'prepared' the youths for life ahead in the only way they knew how - make them into heroes.

Jackalyn herself was always very interested in the tomes, the books and the scrolls that her mother brought back from far-off lands, speaking of different languages and cultures that Jackalyn had never seen herself whilst holed up in the remote mountain-side cabin that all of the Walkers lived in. She wasn't graced with a proper education like most other children - none of the Walkers were, due to the isolated position of their inclusive little hovel. She didn't have friends, only siblings. And since siblings usually accept you how you are, they left Jackalyn to it, and she became smarter and taught them in turn.

Her perception on strangers, due to the combined efforts of not meeting very many new people and having two parents who spoke always about nasty people, became very distorted indeed. She grew up building many barriers against herself and others, preparing herself for the inevitable; it's where she's pushed out such a cold attitude, amplifying what was already there.

Time passed, and the Walker siblings grew older and more self-sufficient in their parent's continued absences. Jackalyn took the lead with her older brother as the protectors of the family - the ones to call on if there was a spider in the bedroom, or if someone was ill, Jackalyn would look after them. she became caring, loving and thoughtful - not to mention that she had a bit of a side-job of working with little Rosie, who struggled all her life as seemingly the only Walker imbued with magical powers of healing. Jackalyn worked long and hard and pored through many books about magic in order to help her, but there's only so much someone can do. She was only lucky that it wasn't harming magic, and as Rosie grew up she learnt more and more about her magic on her own, without Jackalyn's help.

Of course, it was likely that a family such as the Walkers had more Meta-humans, and only a few months back did Jackalyn trigger her own abilities by receiving word that Phareon Walker had perished on the frontlines - a direct missile to the head by a tank, of all things. Her grief knew no bounds and unleashed her abilities onto her siblings, onto the very people she held dear. Aghast at her own recklessness, Jackalyn attempted to retreat further into herself and 'exile' herself from the family; something which the Walker siblings firmly refused. As Brooksy and Derek also revealed their own Meta-human abilities over the next few months, four invitations managed to make it to the remote mountainside cabin, speaking of a place where they can learn to hone their abilities further....

Abilities

Power Class:Other 5
Power:
Shattering is the term for making objects explode or shatter at will. In essence, all she needs to do is point at said object and it'll instantly explode or shatter, without the heat or the smoke. The object can be of any hardness, shape, or size.

Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks:
- Cannot be used on a living being
- Only works to a middle-distance, cannot be used for anything incredibly far away/has to be within eyesight
- Cannot completely destroy an object, only break it into fragments
- Cannot control the direction of the fragments.
- Cannot break magical/enchanted objects.
- The harder it is to break, the more energy needed.
- Object cannot be completely shattered if it's twice as tall as Jackalyn.
- Cannot shatter soft objects.

Other: Jackalyn is called "The Jackal" because she snaps at people who aren't her family, and also because she's a very fast runner.

Jackalyn's a hydrophobic, and can't swim.

Also, I've been reading through the IC posts to pass the time - Lynn and Jackalyn might get on well!

[Ciphra]

Well had to rush it a little since I'm getting ready for classes today so hope it's up to advanced standards! (Haven't done advanced since the old guild...)

[Leonerdo]

I hope I don't have to explicitly say that breaking things by sheer will is... odd, to say the least. But if it's something that can't be used on living things (and therefore instantly killing them), then I personally don't see much issue with it. I'm just curious regarding what you would consider a living thing, since some people can take the form of non-biological material, or forming chitin armor (such as Valjean). That chitin armor isn't a big deal if it can be broken off of Jean without actually endangering his life. Or maybe it does. I don't care. It really depends on Allen if he wants his character's armor being penetrated.

I only take up issue with the character, since blood-red hair doesn't naturally occur. Are those blackened fingertips and veins correlated with her shattering superpower? Otherwise, that seems really far-fetched too.

This is irrelevant, but I find it odd how there are so many destructive powers being made. There is not a lot of building or simple modification or situational abilities.

[Punished GN]

Valjean's shell is like an armor. He can harmlessly shed it, or molt to regenerate damage done to it. And I don't really mind if it's broken.

Alright, Stitches, I guess Jacklyn is accepted. Just actually post her in the deposit.

And since I'm horribly inconsistent, I aged Jaska back up to ten.

[Stitches]

Hehe, wow, so reluctant! (I'm kidding, by the way, thank you for inviting me in after that minor slip-up with the powers.)

I don't suppose I could get a power rating before I place Jackal in the character deposit? Who will she be roomates with?

[Punished GN]

Alright, her rating is....

Other 5

She can be room mates with Sylvia.

[Stitches]

Brilliant, thank you so much!

Vance De

Basic Information

Name: Vance De' Medici Meh-di-Chee
Nickname/Alias/Etc: V, Vector or Chee
Gender: Male
Age: 20
Height: 5'9
Weight: 170lbs
Status: Full Student

Appearance

Hair Color: White
Eye Color: Grey
Ethnicity: American-Italian (Can only understand Italian)

Physical Appearance: The easiest way to describe Vance's appearance is simply; Trouble, or rather, a troubled history. His rugged facial features tells the story of his abrasive past. His heavy-set eyes and thickly-lined jaw give off an air of menace or underlying bitterness about his person. V's past struggles are also punctuated by an old scar that runs over his left eye. His purely white hair brushes down each side of his face and stops just below the jawline. He tends to keep it at this length out of preference more than anything. Vance likes to maintain his chiseled physique and takes great care in his own bodily health. He does, however, have a few distinct scars on his body which can easily be made out to be knife wounds or injuries caused by other sharp objects. Despite this, Vance doesn't mind people seeing them rather than hiding them away. His shoulder-blades are covered with an intricate Edo-Japanese tattoo which extends down each arm, eventually stopping at the insides of his forearms.

Attire: Tends to stick to darker colours, predominantly black, dark greys and blues. Likes to wear standard, form-fitting tops but nothing too extravagant. He can often compliment these single-coloured t shirts with his favourite black leather jacket. His bottom half is usually covered with dark, slim-fit jeans or chinos. His choice of footwear can be anything from Converse to High-tops and anything in between. His shoes are easily the most diverse thing about his clothing.

Personality

Outward & Innate Personality: Vance is typically the cautious type, quiet and calculating. He can come across as rather sinister or thinking himself superior to others when, really, he is just highly mistrusting of those who surround him. He can sometimes be seen as constantly on edge, as if expecting something to happen at any moment. This is normal behavior for him and is usually only supplanted with a more lethargic, or seemingly relaxed, behavior. This lethargy is caused due to severe lack of sleep during the night. Upon entering the Academy, medical tests showed that Vance suffers with REM Sleep Behavior Disorder wherein his dreams/nightmares become lucid, yet he retains his muscle tone even during REM Sleep stages. This causes him to 'act out' his nightmares which are mainly to do with the trauma of his past. These episodes can range from being merely restless and fidgety to explosive and violent, depending on the severity of the current dream. He currently undergoes counselling for this, as he was also diagnosed with PTSD. (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) His sessions are once a week and he has been going to them for nearly four years. The reason for his treatment being for so long is because of his status as a Meta-Human as well as how young he was when his trauma was forced upon him. The Academy simply cannot risk his PTSD relapsing in the future due to the potential damage he could cause if he went AWOL after leaving the Academy.

When it comes to socializing, Vance would prefer to keep to himself but to his dismay, being around other Meta-Humans actually forces him to be sociable. There is a marked increase in his social behavior when around other students. This can lead to heightened stress levels. To combat this, Vance has been taught various techniques to reduce his stress levels, the most effective being a simple stress-ball. During his sessions he has also begun to display certain levels of dislike towards his seemingly natural preference of wanting to be alone. He is slowly beginning to acknowledge his disorder as something which is not a part of who he is. Despite this, he refuses to tell anyone about his counselling or his past, for fear of rejection or ridicule. Overall, he is fine when it comes to idle chatter and he enjoys listening to other people talk, but direct questions can cause him to revert to silence or short answers. He has previously expressed the desire to be able to trust people, knowing that has been living in a relatively safe environment.

Deep down, he feels lonely, despite being surrounded by other Meta-Humans. He doesn't feel as if there is anyone he can really talk to or trust, as if everyone has their own agenda. He does not refer to his Counselor as someone he trusts, but he has stated that he understands their agenda, which is to help him, so he chooses participate in the sessions as anyone else would. He shows a slight distaste towards his own powers due to his past and being exploited in the way that he was but has come to the realization that they aren't going away, so he might as well make the best of them.

Hobbies/Interests: Vance enjoys all forms of Martial Arts and the Art of Origami.

Skills/Talents: Vance has been fighting for most of his life due to his power. For the past 3 years, however, he has taken a great interest in becoming more disciplined with his fighting. As such, he has been studying multiple forms of fighting including Taekwondo, Muay Thai and Aikido. His Muay Thai is probably his strongest and most refined Martial Art, due to it's purely destructive style with the use of elbows, fists and legs. His Taekwondo is used mainly for muscle memory and disciplining his body so that he doesn't waste energy with his movements. To achieve this, he practices his Patterns daily. Aikido is a fairly new pursuit for Vance. He decided upon this style to help him to better control his power so that he could direct it far more accurately than he currently does. He can show annoyance with his inability to perform well at this particular Martial Art but this proves only to spur him on. It is one of the few things that has kept his attention enough for him to become annoyed by it.

Finally, Vance is quite an accomplished cook. Looking after his body and having a higher appetite than most has forced him to learn how to cook meals that are twice the size of your average meal. He finds cooking to be a rather relaxing thing, though he prefers not to cook for other people since he feels as if it would be showing off. Some people have discovered his talent for cookery and have often asked him to make something. It is a common rumor that Vance knows a secret recipe for making the "World's Best Cookies". Whenever he is asked about it, though, he merely states that he found the recipe online.

Prized Possession: N/A

Quote(s): "If you told me you're honest, you'd be lying..."

History/Bio: Vance is the bastard son of Giovanni De' Medici; Head of the, New York-based, Medici crime family. He was raised mainly by his mother, who was a lowly prostitute in the employ of the Medici's. Her pregnancy was an extremely hushed up affair, simply because, if Giovanni found out, he would kill both her and the baby. Being a Crime-lord, however, you generally tend to come by most information, even when it is supposed to be hidden from you. Initially, Giovanni was angry at the thought of an illegitimate child but upon discovering that he was having a son, he allowed them both to live and gifted the child with his last name so that he could carry on the family line, despite not being of 'pure blood'.

That was the only interaction Vance ever had with his father for the first 9 years of his life. It was only after his powers materialized did Giovanni suddenly become interested in his bastard son. Giovanni’s own grandfather had been a Meta-Human, one that possessed terrifying strength. Which he used to carve out his own piece of New-York and instill the Medici family as a household name and one to be feared. Giovanni had always been fascinated by his grandfather and his powers, so much so that he eventually killed him during his sleep out of jealousy. When he heard about Vance’s powers, that same boy who had coveted his grandfather’s strength resurfaced within him.

At first he tried his utmost to take them from V, or to at least have Vance impart them onto him. Or so he’d heard was possible. But nothing worked and the head of the Medici family remained powerless. Angry at the world for not gracing him with his own power, he lashed out at his bastard son. His shock was immediate as the strike did nothing, however. Vance had stopped his attack by draining all of the kinetic energy from it, simply but touching him when he attempted to block the hit.

Wild thoughts came to the Crime-lord and suddenly Vance was accepted into the family fully but at a steep cost. From the age of 11, V was forced to fight in pits like a dog. Giovanni would line up criminal after criminal and force Vance to fight them, usually to the death or not far from it. each time he would defend himself, most times without taking a scratch, but other times he was nearly beaten half to death before Giovanni paid out. It wasn’t long before Vance had become the spectacle of New York’s Underworld, by his 15th year, he had beaten scores of grown men within the fighting pits, he killed more than he could remember and had been seriously injured more times than he could count. No fight was easy, each one proving to be a trial by fire. The Medici Family extended their territory drastically during these years. None of the other families would refuse the Medici’s as long as they had a Meta-Human with them.

At the age of 16, Vance was far from the child he had once been. He barely saw his mother, if at all, and his father only wished to talk about the ‘next big fight’. By now, Giovanni De’ Medici ran every underground fighting ring throughout New York and had even begun expanding to Chicago and Vegas. Anyone who disagreed was offered the same deal as everyone else, Three rounds against Vance, to the death or at least severely incapacitated. For him, life couldn’t have been better. As a child, looking up to his grandfather, all he had ever asked for was power. Now, as an adult, he had that power in the form of a son. One that he believed would never betray him.

Which is why, when he found V’s room all but empty, except for an invitation letter to a certain Academy 218, Giovanni was furious. So angry was he, that he shot and killed a waiter in a high-class restaurant merely for spilling a few drops of wine on the table. It turns out that the waiter was the son of the restaurant owner, who happened to be a close associate of the Di Meoni crime family. Giovanni’s actions sparked a 6 month gang war that allowed Vance to slip away, safely to the academy.

Abilities

Power Class: Energy
Power: Hyperkinetic Energy Manipulation

Vance can absorb and enhance all kinetic forms of energy directly connected to his person. He his currently trying to adapt his power to include Hyperkinetic Energy Generation from his own being.

Absorption
He can absorb almost all Kinetic Energy directed towards him by touch. This could be from anything such as: A physical attack, a projectile attack or any other kinetic-based threat. Doing so will instantly negate the movement of the object, resulting in no damage to either party.

Enhance
He can enhance the amount of Kinetic Energy within any object or form. This can range from inanimate objects and living beings. Doing so can either increase or reduce the amount of Velocity of the object or form as well as the force of impact the object makes with another object or being. Vance is still learning how to perform this ability without the prior use of Absorption to alter the energy levels within an object.

Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks:

Weight and Velocity are rather large factors that Vance has to consider when Absorbing energy. Too much of either could kill him outright. For instance, stopping a regular punch or kick would be child’s play for him, as would a fast-pitched baseball. But stopping 5 or 6 speeding bullets consecutively would exhaust him almost immediately due to their extreme velocity levels. Alternatively, an Olympic Sprinter running head-on towards him would be easy to stop, but a car travelling at the same speed (roughly 30mph) would be markedly more difficult and almost indefinitely result in him being 'Overloaded'.

If he tries to stop something above his limit, Vance suffers from being 'Overloaded'. What this means is that, whilst he may absorb all the energy up to his limit, any kinetic energy left over will cause some serious damage. The leftover energy activates an immediate discharge of all the energy currently stored within him, resulting in his body being thrown in the direction of which the force was travelling. This sudden and almost explosive outburst can mean serious implications for Vance. The after-effects of an 'Overload' can range from bleeding via the nose, ears and mouth, to internal bleeding from ruptured organs or even complete organ failure. Even absorbing energy to his limit will result in extreme exhaustion and severe migraines.

The amount of time in which he stores the absorbed energy is also something that Vance has to be careful off. Large energy reserves kept stored inside his body for too long could do lasting, or even fatal, damage.

Other:
- Vance is almost never seen without a bottle of water.
- He makes his own Biltong which he enjoys very much. His favourite flavours are Pepper and Chilli.

Annabella Ravencroft

Name: Annabella Ravencroft

Nickname/Alias/Etc: Bell/ Ms.Raven

Gender: Female

Age: 30

Height: 5'8 Ft (172 cm)

Weight: 150 lbs (68 kg)

Status: Teacher

---

Appearance

Hair Color: Brunette

Eye Color: Left Eye Red/ Right Eye Teal

Ethnicity: French(Caucasians)

Physical Appearance:

Calm, Collected, and the aura that seems to change. These are the few of many simple words that can be used to describe Bell. She is a rather average sized female who has shown her experience to many who know the Ravencroft name. Her hair is light brown and the evidence of power circulates around her. These are small descriptions that will be expanded later, the most noticeable her body is her physical frame. She has a rather slim and toned body, having a sense of balance in the middle, she is not skinny to the point where it seems she has no muscles but her muscles are not toned to the point where it seems that she is mainly muscle and thats it.

Her face is also the place that shows a great story. The first things that one would notice on her face is it's changing demeanor. She is able to go from a calm and very collected to exasperated and angry. The scar that goes from her left eye to her chin are the remnants of the warrior that killed her siblings, telling the story of how she obtained "Ravencroft's Gift". The scar is a remnant of the faithful event that left Bell reliant on her powers to give her the ability to see perfectly out her right eye, though she can see somewhat, she needs optical help when she does not use her powers for help(Granted that is very rarely). Now she uses it as a base for her personality and to remind her never to fall into the same trust and trap she was in when she killed the Women who killed her family. Besides her scar, her cheeks are a bit chubby and give her a cutesy face, which she hates with a firm passion. Others might notice her lips that somehow fit her chubby cheeks and make her even cuter, which again she hates. Her wrinkles don't show much anymore, instead giving her dimples when she smiles. One would not be able to tell that she is half way almost to 31, nor does she lead on to be, the only thing that would tell a person that she is old, is her infinite wisdom and attempts to guide the younger generation in the right path.

Her bright left red eye, and scared teal eye, tell a much different story, they tell the story of a soul looking for peace, but stuck at a cross roads. Her eyes tell the story of a girl lost in the sands of time so to speak, a girl lost in the impending wait of age, remembering the hardships she hard over came. They also saw the fierce, determined side of her, the will of the Ravencroft. They show the intensity she can have, or the gentle kindness she is able to show. They also show the sorrow she sometimes has, the sadness of doing something regrettable that she can't take back, but they can also tell you that she is ready for almost everything and anything, she is ready to do what is needed to do and do it well. If need be her eyes will tell you that if the moment happens, she will give her all, life or death, and do what is needed to be done.

Bells voice is another way of telling how old she is, it is not that it's old sounding, but it is deep and somewhat raspy, some might even say a bit seductive, but she likes her voice, she claims it makes what she says much more deeper then intended. Though it is deep, when she is embarrassed her voice will crack and she gets even more embarrassed. Her tone can very different though from time to time, it's a tad bit childish at times, but at the same time have a mother or aunt vibe. It can be quite the opposite as well, as when she is training or fighting it can be rather harsh to the extent you would not recognize her if your back was turned and you were completely focused on the task at hand. She does have a bit of an accent as well, though it is mixed and something completely different then one would expect to come from her mouth. It is not at all hard to understand but it is some how mixed between a French and Romanian mixed accent. She has no idea where she picked it up from, but it has a french swuaving sound when she is anxious or angry.

The way Annabella carries herself fits her almost perfectly, from her personality to her voice, it matches well. It is some what of a laid back person depending on the situation or a harsh drill sergeant vibe. When not helping train students, she carries herself as an old friend or relative, giving her a homey type feel whenever around her, it's said that when she is around it gets relaxing and makes you want to open up to her. She also carries herself almost like a mother when it comes down to certain things, especially when someone's emotions are in the hang of being broken, or changed. It is one of those things that she doesn't mean to do, but doesn't mind when it comes down to being able to help someone out and say something that could potentially leave a good mark on that persons mind. In those moments Annabella will no longer care about how she carries herself, only to make sure that she is able to help him or her and save them from doing something utterly stupid and mark them for life.

Bell has a pretty well built body for a 30 year old, it actually is surprisingly close to that of a fully developed young adult and she is pretty thankful for that because saggy boobs are just...gross and hard to manage. She also shockingly sprouts a soft four pack on her stomach that isn't noticeable until she flexes. Her arms are generally unaffected visual wise but she has almost pure muscles and little to no fat on her arms. Her breast are a solid C almost D depending on the bra and she does her best to conceal them as she is super embarrassed about there size, they are to big in her opinion and she would much rather be B almost C if it was possible to change her size, but on to less perverted things. She has somewhat broad shoulders that allow her to carry herself high and with determination. Her wing span is pretty average, standing up she touches to the middle of her thighs, which makes her reach when fighting not to big but somewhat bigger then a lot of girls, though she is 5'5 which is smaller then a lot of other females that she knows.

Attire: She usually tries to dress as casual as possible until she is told it's to laid back. Dressing in dresses was never really her thing but she would usually wear leggings and a black sweater, but she does from time to time were a cloak over her clothes when she is having a very "off" day.

Personality

Outward & Innate Personality:
She is a very particular person for someone of her race and stature someone that a lot of people would say a left curve for what job she has, some might even say it's a wonder how she got the job. She is one of the nicest human being one could meet, but there is something a bit off about her sometimes, it's not always apparent and some might even say one wouldn't notice it at all but there is sometimes a sudden change that she does when going from fighting to angry, it's almost like a 0-60 deal and it's scares a lot of people from how funny and quirky she can be to almost cruel like, one would call her unrecognizable when she is angry or serious. That being said she is able to hold in that part of her mind and personality in check and keep it from becoming who she is outside of fighting or training, though she could be considered Bipolar. She can also sport a sprouting of good spirit when the moment arrives and can be for the most part easy to hang out with and sometimes even a jokester when needed to be. Though when drunk she is almost a completely different person, one who is a bit of a flirt and tease and a big partier.

Sky has a very calming personality much of the time, like that of a mother or a grandmother, because of her experience as both a mother and grandmother. She learned to deal with a lot of problems and bickering and happens to have a very soothing voice that lets people calm down and almost want to sleep. She loves to go through problems with people and act like a mother or therapist giving her opinion on what they should do or say. She is over all the nicest when it comes to those sort of things and she loves helping others a lot. Even if they aren't the nicest she tries her best to help a lot of others with the problem, whether it be physical or mental she does her best to give her knowledge and smile at the person. Even a demon she had met once would find her personality interesting as she wont fight them unless needed and would even help them depending on the task. As long as its not killing innocents(What she deems Innocent), Bell will help with almost, again almost, every task. Though there are some boundaries she will not cross, those involve her body, killing comrades, hurting the wrong people. Those are the boundaries she will not cross even if her life is on the line and a sword is at her neck.

She can also be much like a sage when helping people through physical hardships, like giving advice, helping them train, even save their sorry asses if need be. She tries her best to help strugglers out whenever possible, even ones that aren't apart of her squad. If the person is willing, she do her best to help them train, just ask nicely and she'll do her best to make you stronger. This part of her came from when she was both a mother and a grandmother to her "children". She loves giving advice that is honest regardless of if they will hurt your feelings she will not lie to you even if it comes down to saying something mean, she only wants you to get better and if things need to be said then she will say it, granted she does understand feelings and try to dial it back some but other then that you will get the truth out of her and nothing more. In the event that she does lie to you, which rarely will happen she would do it for the protection of not only herself but you and the people involved if it is that serious then at that point she will keep it to herself and only the people she is sure can handle it so that she does not cause mass panic.

She is a generally nice natured person, not hating of anyone, no race, no color of skin, all that stuff is nothing in her mind, even gender doesn't matter to her. She cares nothing of the color of skin or race because simply it is not one act that defines a group of people but individuals acts that determine the person. Make them who they are and give them a reason to make Annabella not like them. Even the most vile people on earth, Bell can get along with because she is simply fascinated with how they think and would love to have a one on one conversation with that said person. Nor does she discriminate or hate a certain race because she believes that everyone gets a second chance, with what they do with that is none of her business just that they deserve at least one more chance and if nothing was learned from the last time then they are only then a lost cause she will give up on them. In her eyes even the meanest of people can be nice, whether it be small or big, she will show kindness to all people until they prove to her that they don't deserve her niceness what so ever. She could be considered a peace lover, which is ironic for someone like her but she thinks nothing of it, just love and peace will keep the three worlds from being torn apart and turned into barren wastelands.

She is a kind soul that wont turn her back on something she believes in, only turning away when it is orders from someone she respects. Then and only then is she forced to do an act she is not wanting to do, a lot of things which she doesn't like doing but it forced because her positions demands so. In truth she hates doing some of things she does because her mind can only take doing so many things that could change someone else's opinion on something, she hates that in fact. If it were possible she would want to figure out a way to bridge all people together in a way everyone could love each other. She keeps this wish secret though, because deep down she doesn't want to be the reason someone else things something about a certain idea or ideals. At the end of the day, she wants other to think and act the way she does of their own free will.

Prized Possession:

One of the only things she would kill someone for, it is the only thing that she was able to recover from the fire that had set the Ravencroft Manor ablaze, burning not only destroying her stuff, but destroying all of the families possessions except for this one item, the ring of her birth father.

Quote(s):“There are going to be times when you learn more about the world you’re entering and feel defeated when you see the gap between the ideal and the reality… But that’s something we’ll all face. The people that face those obstacles and overcome them are people whose dreams come true.”

History/Bio:Annabella Ravencroft was born 30 years ago on a dark snowy night in the Ravencroft Estate. Almost as soon as she was taken from the mother to be wrapped, the mother passed away, to weak to live from birth. The night was both full of sorrow from her father and happiness of her birth. She was born with a full head of beautiful brunette hair, her eyes almost a demon red. She was born with the markings of the Ravencroft, but her's were different, they were grey, markings that the first Ravencroft had. There had been talk that entire week that the girl was going to be a legend making Ravencroft, capable of things the rest were unable to do. Of course this sparked an already sibling rivalry with her older sister who was 4. With in the next two months the Annabella had picked up making this small shadow, unable to be put into the category of something, but it was just a shadow being that she was playing with. At two months she had already sealed the deal of being the next Aire to the Ravencroft name. Things slowly went quiet after it was apparent she could already mold shadows. Months passed and people began to look at the father to teach her how to control it or do something. It hadn't been fully discussed but Annabella's shadow was...different. It was able to make decisions for itself, not caring wether it was right or wrong, messing up the babies room or causing Annabella to wake up. Fearing that it was something more then a shadow made from Annabella, at the age of 1 they locked her in a room full of nothing but her bed. Her father would lock the door when he left and would lock himself in, slowly he began teaching her, or at least did his best to with a one year old. Years passed, but things didn't change, it got even worse. The shadow was slowly trying to make Annabella make shadows, not normal human looking ones or animals, but demented shaped beings. Another problem become apparent was that any of the shadows she made would slowly follow in the shadow that was the problem.

Meanwhile her sister spited her, hated her existence. She would never get noticed by her father, because his attention was on "the sick child" she had just started learning how to make shadows, but her "Gifted" sister had done that at the age of zero, not even a year old. All her relatives looked at her with distaste for being a late bloomer, telling her to be more like her younger sister. Her father would ask if she wanted to come, and she did, once. Only once and it caused the worst thing humanly possible, it sparked hatred between the two. As soon as her older sister was in the room, the shadow attacked her, causing her to have two bruised ribs and a black eye. At this times, Scarlett was completely unaware of the fact that Annabella wasn't the one controlling the shadow, but Scarlett didn't care after that. That moment would cause the complete destruction of the Ravencrofts. When she turned 16, she ran away, not looking back, but something...odd happened. As soon as the Scarlett ran away, the shadow disappeared, leaving Annabella alone. They all looked for the shadow, not even focused on the fact that Scarlett had just up and left. But not looking for Scarlett was the mistake that the Ravencrofts made. For the shadow has followed Scarlett, because it had grown tired of trying to corrupt Annabella, it had left and followed someone more manipulative. The one that wanted to be stronger then her gifted young sister, the one so full of hatred for her family.

Slowly but surely Annabella was able to adapt back into coming into contact with people other then her father. Even during this time no one thought of the "problem" older sister that had left. Joel was just happy to have his little girl out of the confound room. It was a problem that the shadow had gone missing and they couldn't find it, but times seemed to dissipate as they all looked to the girl Annabella. Watching her grow stronger and older, wiser and happier. Soon it came to a point everything was perfect, and everyone was happy, loving each other and happy with the direction that the family was going. She slowly but surely fell in love with a man and married him. She had met at the college she went to at the age of 20, both not wanting to have kids yet. Instead they both decided that with her "special talent" that raising more kids like her could cause more trouble then worth, so they adopted...but one wasn't enough. It started out as a test and almost suddenly they began to fall in love with 6 handsome boys and 7 beautiful girls, taking them into their own home. Then on her twenty third birthday, she went out with her husband and cousins to drink . At this time, an old face appeared again, Scarlett walked through the front gate of the estate, a dark evil glow around her body that was apparent to the others. She laughed in their face at their forgiveness of not looking for them, but she wasn't looking for forgiveness. Though she didn't say anything she made it clear when she shot her uncles and aunts, killing them in cold blood. Joel took the kids that he was babysitting until Annabella came back, and ran into the room that Annabella had been locked behind for 12 years of her life. He locked inside and fought his daughter, but even he was unable to overcome the sure power she had gained.

Annabella with her husband at hand and her cousins in the backseat of the care, drove tot he open gates of the estate. Or rather what was left of the charred remains of the building. Scarlett stood in a piles of bodies mixed between her aunts and uncles and...the kids. She held the youngest daughter by her hair and laughed an insane laugh "You see dear sister, it is I who was always stronger, it was always me, I was always better, your shadow even picked me over you!" Annabella fell to her kness, crying and screaming in an outrage as Oliver, her husband held her back. Her cousins jumped forward and attacked Scarlett, but almost instantly they fell to the ground cut in half, lying in pieces. She looked wide eye'd as she felt Oliver let go of her, and suddenly she looked up to see him running towards Scarlett, in reply she laughed and waved her arm downwards making a slashing movement towards him. Out of pure instinct to protect him, she almost instantly appeared in front of Scarlett, coming out of her shadow form, she grabbed her sisters arm, breaking it and picking her up at her throat. Scarlett dropped the shaking, crying child and Oliver grabbed her "Annabella lets go!" running away with the child in hand. But Annabella didn't hear him, all she heard was rage, squeezing more and more "You...Missed...someone..." she looked back to see Oliver stabbed in his chest and overtop the now freaking out child.

It's not recorded what happened officially there, but Police records say, the Ravencroft family was murdered and whoever it was set their house a blaze. The only ones how weren't at the estate were, one daughter to Oliver and Annabella Ravencroft, and Annabella herself, though it is specified that who ever killed the family took both of the two, the child escaping and so traumatized she was put into a psycward, refusing to talk about the events that happened that night. The town looked for Annabella, but eventually it was assumed that Annabella was killed, but in truth she simply...faded away, to heart broken to take care of her kid, and haunted with the sight of her dead family. She now teaches at Academy 218, trying to keep the events that happened that night locked away tight in her mind never to surface again.

Abilities

Power Class:Shadow Energy Manipulation
*Rating 8
Power:
Shadow Energy Manipulation(SEM)-Annabella has inherited the entirety of the Ravencroft's Family power. Starting back to her great great great Grand Father, he had been haunted with a shadow named Lucifer(No Relation to the Devil named Lucifer) who had come to be a sentient Shadow that had grown fancy of the man. The Granfather on the other hand, was driven insane from the constant whispering that came from Lucifer trying to talk to the old man. In an attempt to kill himself one night, it so happened that Lucifer had gained such a connection to the man, that in his dying breaths, Lucifer used his Shadow "Aura" or Energy to save the mans life, in turn he died in the place of the old man. Walking up he his arms were covered in tattoos of weird patterns. Getting up he suddenly turned into a black hulking cloaked mist, walking turned into almost running at the speed of light. This event spawned the family power and having them known as the Shadow Dwellers, The Ravencrofts. SEM contains one center ability, manipulation of the users body and own shadow. The User uses their own shadow to spawn things such as a misty physical human, sentient enough to know right and wrong, but still bound to the user. But it does not stop at just humans, the user if in years of practice, such as Annabella Ravencroft, the last Ravencroft, the user would also be able to form animals, from birds and snakes to a tiger or lion. Keep in mind the shadows are as strong as their user is, and as fit as the user. Beyond this ability, SEM also effects the users body, causing them become a shadow themselves, moving at speeds of jet planes, they are free to converse with other Sentient Shadows such as Lucifer the Shadow who gave his life for the old man.

Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks: The most important draw back to SEM, is that anything spawned from the users shadow, is mentally and physically connected to the user. If the user is injured or knocked out of focus of staying connected the shadow, the shadow will dissipate immediately. If the user is attacked mentally or succumbs to say the PTSD that Annabella suffers from, the shadow will in turn act as if it is hit with the same effect it would have on the user. Vice Versa if the Shadow is gravely wounded, it WILL both hurt the user physically and Mentally, instantly cutting the connection between the user and the shadow. On top of this, the user can only have five shadows out at once, anything beyond that and it will instantly cut the connection with one of the five shadows already out. This also means the user will have to wait to output another shadow two posts. As for the effect that it has on the users body, when the user is a shadow, they are unable to touch or talk to anything not a shadow being. As well as they are not able to form any Sentient Shadows. If the user turns into a shadow while using the sentient shadows, they will instantly turn on the user and attack them.

Other: Annabella Suffers from a small form of PTSD from the events that led to the death of her family and the burning of the estate she lived in for her whole life. It is not personality altering, but it is big enough to be added that she wears a black cloak when she is suffering from remembering the horrid events that haunt her mind.

Both of you should PM me. Allen and HWWB are... unhappy with the sheets and I want to help you guys out so that you can be included.

[Luminous Beings]

Okay, I'm one of three GMs, so my word isn't final, but here are my thoughts.

If Vance is going to be an ultracompetent fighter, that's okay, but he needs to have subsequent flaws. Being in the running for "Worst Childhood At the Academy" is okay, but being used as a child soldier by his father should have some pretty major psychological ramifications. If he's focused so much on fighting/physique, I feel like his academics would suffer as well. Vance doesn't need to be stupid, but just bear that in mind.

As far as his power goes, it's extremely powerful. Being able to absorb the kinetic equivalent of a 60 mile per hour car (I'm bad at science, but that is a tremendous amount of energy) is way too much. He's essentially unstoppable in close quarters attacks, and being able to channel that energy into solids, liquids, or gas, is also extremely volatile. If he absorbed a couple cars, he could probably make a swimming pool go from room temperature to boiling in about half a second, which is a little much.

Firstly, his power should be limited to his focusing on it. If someone puts a gun to his head and pulls the trigger while he's asleep, facing the other direction, etc, then I think it's fair for him to get killed by it. Additionally, he should have way lower of a maximum than a 60mph car. A train should never be within his capability: that's several tons moving at forty, forty five miles per hour (I don't know trains here but that sounds right). That's an ungodly amount of force. Those things have to start slowing down a long time before they want to stop. I'll let one of the more science-inclined GMs handle the specifics, but I think a set amount of joules/Newtons would be a reasonable limitation: exceeding that limit should make bad things happen. His body begins to run a fever as the energy's converted into thermal energy, his blood begins to boil, so on and so forth. There's only so much energy the human body can hold, and absorbing a car's way above that threshold. If he could hold that kind of power within himself, he could one shot pretty much anyone in the RP. Anything he absorbs over the limit should either 1) cause some Very Bad Things, which ramp up in lethality exponentially, or 2) he simply gets hit by the difference. I don't feel this nerfs him, as he can still empty his reservoirs and absorb some pretty big punches as long as he does so quickly enough. Applying kinetic energy into an object should be restricted to what he does with it-by which I mean, he can throw a baseball really fucking fast. I don't know if you meant to pour his energy into it, but that makes him way stronger (the boiling water example above) and he'd need some more serious weaknesses as a result. Additionally, given that everything has an equal and opposite reaction, he's going to have problems with efficiency. I think it's a cool power but there need to be some limitations so he's not at First Class Kevin Bacon's level. My ignorance with physics is probably already showing, so like I said I'll defer the specifics to Jazzy or Allen.

Annabella. I have a couple issues, but I think some of it is just hyperboilc speaking. Overall, she comes off as too well-rounded. She's very cute, carries herself perfectly, is small-framed and not muscular but has D cups and a four-pack, seems to have a lot of appearance issues (dislikes how attractive she is) and dresses a little too casually for a teacher. I don't think they could get away with leggings. She's one of the nicest people you could meet but is also described as being similar to a drill-sergreant when needed. I feel like you gloss over the Bipolar thing: Bipolar disorder isn't a "sorta" thing. If she's Bipolar, then you need to really flesh that out, but if she's not and you were just using that to emphasize her duality, my bad. For an extremely nice, gentle person, it's weird that she has this harsh side and enjoys training and fighting. I'm okay with a character being extremely nice, it will offset the number of assholes we have (not that assholes are bad, Lynn is probably the most annoying), but her compassion is a little extreme. She tries to help everyone and you don't really delve into the implications of that. Does she feel this maternal protectiveness because she lost her children? Does he take it too far and is she really overboard/helicopter-y? How does she handle the stress of getting to attached, and is she not afraid of attachment after what happened to her family? Being wide open and compassionate isn't what I'd expect from someone with her backstory, which is okay, but you should detail how she became that way a little more. Most people who endure things like that are the exact opposite. Her love for all people contradicts her harsh side-I don't want to be mean, but I fail to see how Bell can have a harsh side. She seems to like everyone. Idealism is, again, okay, but she is somewhat lacking in character flaws. I think you need to spend some time and flesh out what effects her unchecked optimism would have on her-is she overworked, does she have little time for herself and suffers physically/mentally as a result, is she struggling with aging, is she unable to reconcile with what happened to her kids, etc.

Her being great at lying and survival both seem really out of place. How did she get good at lying when she's brutally honest to people? When did survival skills get developed? If you have these they need to be explained. For example, Lynn is a street rat and subsequently she's good at pickpocketing, breaking into cars, etc. As a consequence, she had next to no formal education and is severely lacking in that category. As far as her history goes-well, this is nitpicky, but was there a particular reason why she was born in the Estate and not in a hospital? Is there a reason she was born with a full head of hair? Why were there rumors that she would be the chosen one of the metahuman clan? Being able to use her power so effectively before most babies can walk is also a little too much, I think. Furthermore, if she was a wunderkind with her power, why couldn't her shadow break out of the room? It was operating at a level way beyond a little girl. Also, her being locked alone for 12 years would have some very, very severe developmental problems. I don't see how she could function in normal society after that. I mean, you know how painfully awkward some homeschool kids are (not all, mind you)? They get to leave the house. They get to leave the room. If She was locked in a room for that long, I don't feel like she'd be as full of unbridled optimism as she is. More resentful of her father? I mean, kids don't get why they have to be separated, they just know they're being separated from the others. Throw in the guilt over killing her mother and I feel like Bell should have a lot of issues before you even get to the family murder thing.

Adopting 13 children in three years is not possible. There's a ton of paperwork you have to do. Maybe 1-2 kids in three years. Unless she was stealin' this babies from the nursery...which, admittedly, would make for a kickass backstory

There's also the issue of Bell's shadow going to Scarlett. In this RP we're aiming for pseudoscientific explanations of things; her power jumping from one to the other isn't really plausible. Could Scarlett just have a similar power, and could you make a reason for Bell's power going dormant? If her kindness/optimism kept her from just snapping Scarlett's neck the second she saw her then I feel like she should have some major guilt over essentially letting her husband die. Regardless, she should have some major psychological problems as a result of all this. I mean, watching your whole family get torn to shreds? Her personality needs to reflect that. A lot.

You also cannot give yourself a power rating; those are given by Allen. Her power is very similar to some others (mine, notably, but I'm not annoyed or anything don't get me wrong). Her power is also ridiculously strong. If the power causes negative psychological effects, then she needs to suffer from them. I'm confused as to whether or not those persist or if they died with the patriarch of the family. Giving her super speed, the ability to form sentient vassals with all the strength and intelligence of a human, and the (I don't mean to be harsh here) ill-defined ability of speaking with other shadows is a LOT. Her weaknesses do not reflect this; everyone in the RP loses their abilities (with the exception of Lynn) when knocked unconscious, so it's not really a fair weakness. I mean, I lose all my capabilities when I'm unconscious or injured. You state that she has PTSD as a weakness but this is not really elaborated on-PTSD and bipolar disorder, if she does have both, are MAJOR factors in someone's personality, and they're not really expanded upon in her personality sheet. Judging from her personality sheet, she's taking the death of her entire family pretty well. Being intangible while in shadow form is also not a weakness-that's essentially another strength. I mean, she can just turn into a shadow, move at the speed of light, and escape any conflict without the risk of being harmed. Having five shadows out at once is also way too much: I would expect one. That basically means that whenever you're fighting Bell, you're fighting six enemies, all as strong and smart as a human, all at once. Why do the sentient shadows attack her when she turns into a shadow?

There are no real weaknesses with your character, to be honest. There are limitations, but not weaknesses. I think you need to go back through your sheet and flesh some of this stuff out. There are good ideas but I don't feel you explored the consequences fully. PTSD, bipolar disorder, and her power in particular. Her personality needs to reflect the monstrous things that happened to her. Her power needs to have weaknesses, as it does not have any at the moment. If you need help coming up with these, we're happy to do so, but I feel like your character has no real flaws at the moment (she's physically attractive, has no social defects from 12 years locked in a room, has no personality changes as a result of her trauma, is power-wise near unstoppable) and you need to show that you can incorporate these into your character before you can join the RP.

[Kalas]

Thanks for the feedback. Jazzy pretty much said the same thing. I can edit that all without a hitch. But it'll have to wait until I get to work tomorrow morning. (2:20am here)

It's cool to finally see a Superpower RP that has decent restrictions for once. :D
