Ijo Tsuya

Name: Ijo Tsuya

Age: 34

Gender: Male

Appearance: Stands at about 75 inches tall and weighs about 200 lbs. Nothing to disregard about this picture.

Ijō's face

Something like this.

Kingdom: No allegiance.

Persona: Stoic. Ijo loves to look up at the stars that are sprinkled across the night sky and longs to join them. For so long, it seems, the stars have been invisible and unknown to him...but now he wishes to walk among them and learn their secrets. He can kill another man without showing hesitation or remorse, yet he is very defensive and will refuse to remove his mask under almost any circumstance. He is a very secretive person who is hesitant to trust anyone due to a history of betrayal. And though he is an excellent gunsmith, he has never enjoyed creating weapons of war...not until now.

Post Example: The room was musty and dim, lit only by a small candle on a desk against a stone wall. There were no windows to speak of; the only portal being a single metal door positioned on the wall across the room from the desk. There were two wooden tables in the center of the room, with various tools and parts laid out on them. On one table there was a model of a cannon and several parts that could be identified as some of the larger scale counterparts of the model, and on the other table laid various and incomplete assemblies of handheld guns.

There was only one man in the dimly lit room, and he sat in a chair at the desk that was against the far wall. The candle there illuminated a metal mask, resembling a skull, that laid on the desk just a few inches away. The man simply sat and stared at the mask, as the candlelight flickered and was reflected by the eyes of his otherwise unlit face. He moved a hand to grab the mask, and moved his scarred face into the light.

"Tonight" He started in a weary yet gruff voice. "Tonight, I'm getting out of this prison..."

Putting the mask on, he got up to search though the many containers in the room until he had found everything he needed. By now he had collected a number of schematics, a large handheld cannon, a lever-action shotgun, and a high-caliber revolver. He moved the desk from the wall to use as cover, as he pulled the cannon out and fired an explosive round at the door. The room shook as the door was blown off of it's hinges, and the man stood up and looked in awe at the destruction.

"Ha! It worked! I just hope the guards are still using the old 'backfire' models..." He said, putting the cannon away and reaching for the shotgun as he moved out into the hallway. "Now...I should be below ground level...so...I need to find my way up..." The man whispered to himself as he hurried through the hall and tried to keep his head down, but as he rounded a corner a group of guards caught sight of him.

"Hey! Look there! Ijo's escaping!" One of them shouted, getting the others to stop.

"Let's kill the bastard!" Said another as he pulled out a cannon like the one that the man, Ijo, had used to escape.

"No! Put that thing away, you're inside! You could kill us all!" Shouted a third, who was surprisingly a woman although she wore the same sized armor as the other men.

"We have to catch him alive, he's no good to us dead!" Shouted a fourth guard.

"I've had enough o' this little bastard's shit, I'm shootin' 'im now! If he's still breathin' after that, you can have 'im back." The second guard said as he took aim, and fired the cannon.

Suddenly, just as he pulled the trigger, the cannon backfired and exploded in the guard's hands, killing many of the other guards nearby while causing a few stones in the ceiling to fall. The rest were lying unconscious or were too injured to get back up, but one was trying to crawl away while calling for help. Ijo walked over to the injured and terrified guard and kicked him over on his back, pointing the shotgun down at his face.

"Might I inquire as to the way out of this...rather, ah, dreary penitentiary?" Ijo asked casually, looking down at the man through the cold lenses of his mask.

"D-Down th-this h-hall...t-take the...f-first l-left...u-up the stairs...a-and u-uh..." The man was now crying as he raised his hand up as if to shield himself from the impending blast of the shotgun. "L-Look f-for...u-uh...b-big w-wooden d-door-"

"No, no, no! The back door; where is the back door?" Ijo demanded, waving the shotgun barrel around in the injured guard's face.

A few moments later more guards arrived on scene to find that the hallway had collapsed with only one survivor; the man whom Ijo had interrogated. He told the other guards about the backfiring cannon, and about how Ijo used the shotgun to finish collapsing the hallway. The rest of the guards searched the perimeter and found only the lever-action shotgun...and Ijo was long since gone.

Equipment:
Amplifier Gauntlets

Hider

Having been grafted into his flesh and originally designed to suppress his powers, these gauntlets have been embedded with magic crystals imbued with enough energy to almost completely reverse the effects of suppression. The gauntlets build up heat each time Ijo uses his powers, and when they reach maximum heat the gauntlets shut off Ijo's magical powers to vent. However, while these gauntlets themselves cause harm to Ijo, Ijo's powers are unstable without them and can cause even more serious health complications(Namely Solar).

-The heat generated by these gauntlets increase the damage that Ijo can do with his fists, and while at max heat he can somewhat burn the enemies he hits until the gauntlets have cooled off.

These are safety mechanisms originally designed to keep Ijo from using his powers while he was imprisoned, but have been modified to amplify his powers. However, the overheating failsafe is still active and restricts the usage of his powers. These gauntlets have been welded into the flesh and bone of his forearms.

The "Handheld Artillery" Cannon

Hider

More of a trophy than anything else, this weapon rarely accompanies Ijo on a mission due to it's awkward size and low rate of fire. The firing chamber holds one 40mm cannon round.

Heavy Revolver

Hider

A revolver that fires .50 rounds. Holds 4 shots.

Ability/Magic/Technology:
Solar
-Ijo can manually overheat his gauntlets to deal more melee damage and burn enemies with each hit from his fist for a short time.
-Ijo can charge up heat energy in his hand and release a beam of solar light to vaporize a hole through his foes, instantly triggering the gauntlet's vent cycle. This attack can be reflected off of mirrors or generally any curved, shiny, metallic surfaces.
-Ijo can, with a great deal of pain, charge up heat energy in his eyes and project beams of solar light through the lenses of his mask. This causes a great deal of pain, but is more powerful than the beams fired from his gauntlets.
-Ijo can call down a solar storm that rains down beams of light to eradicate his foes, causing a great deal of pain and effort while generating more heat the longer the storm remains.
-Ijo can create a flash of light that blinds anything that looks, including allies.
-Ijo can also use a small jet of solar flame as a blowtorch.

Gravity
-Ijo can bend gravity with his hands to repel objects away, or pull them closer. This could potentially break ribs if the activating hand is on a target's chest, but deals very little direct damage at further distances.
-Ijo controls gravity in an area around him, increasing or lowering the forces of gravity for a short time. This can also just affect specific targets if intended. Using this ability does not generate much heat when lowering gravity, but tends to generate more when increasing gravity.
-Ijo can lift objects into the air and hurl them at his foes.
-Ijo can create a strong gravitational shield that defends against anything solid, while magic can pass through. The shield is only enough to defend himself while using one hand, but can create a dome of shielding when using both hands.
-Ijo can create a radial shockwave that knocks back everything in an area around him by forcefully clapping his hands together. Using this twice in a row will reach max heat for both gauntlets.
-Ijo can create a vortex that sucks in nearby objects so long as they are under 200 lbs, and implodes after a short time. This ability reaches the gauntlets' max heat instantly.

@ArkmageddonCat

How's this? I kinda bullshitted the Post Example, cause I'm tired, but I hope this is an overall improvement...

Since I'm in 'murica and we the people can vote. I vote, in the interest of keeping this RP alive, that All co-GMs have the authority and rights as a full GM, from this moment forth, until Animoose gets back on.

All in favor, say 'Aye'

Indeed say I.

[Crimson Lion]

Aye, this is my first rp so i'd rather not have it end like this ... how i DID imagine this RP ending was a meteor hitting Astrea and everyone dying

[ArkmageddonCat]

@Crimson Lion

So we'll never open the Vault, defeat Unicron, or battle the gingerbread armies of the Gumdrop King? Laaame.

@ArkmageddonCat

[TheDarkTemplar]

This one agrees. Give the power to Co-GMs.

[TheDarkTemplar]

Also have no fear, Lion and I are workin on a post. Albeit it's taking a while thanks to my traveling but now I'm home and I can type in peace.

[Crimson Lion]

This one agrees. Give the power to Co-GMs.

@TheDarkTemplar

Mwah haha! This was my plan ALL ALONG!

[TheDarkTemplar]

Lord Sidious! I should have known!

[Crimson Lion]

Lord Sidious! I should have known!

@TheDarkTemplar

@ArkmageddonCat

... I don't know if this counts or not, but I approve of your character. Now go out there and risk your life fighting a horde of Velulu!

@Crimson Lion

Both or which one?

And if the GM doesn't approve, they shoulda been here.
