[OOC] The Corrigan School for Advanced Learning and Development (A DC School RP)

[Archmage MC]

Should I give examples of Cartoons that Light is getting her powers from or no?

[Lord Wraith]

@Little Loser Yep, I likely won't start doing any CS reviews until I finish my CS. I might start them tonight but I definitely won't be closing them for quite some time if at all.

@Archmage MC Eh, give me a chance to look over the CS again first. From my first impression I'm not quite sure Light is exactly what I'm looking for in terms of characters. She seems a little too out there but I'll reevaluate once I read the sheet more thoroughly.

[Avanhelsing]

@Lord Wraith
Is my pic okay? I mean it is realistic.

[Lord Wraith]

@Avanhelsing Pic is all good. Honestly as long as it doesn't look like an anime faceclaim I'm not overly picky.

Edited the Brine to the Brew after it was pointed out to me our characters have an age cutoff as 19 thus rendering an alcoholic bar pointless lol.

[Punished GN]

I could literally c/p Tanya's sheet from that other RP.

[Lord Wraith]

@Mr Allen J You literally could.

| NAME: |

- Frederick 'Freddie' James Michael Blackwell

| ALIAS: |

- Tempest

| AGE: |

- 17

| ABILITIES/SKILLS/EQUIPMENT: |

- Meteorokinesis (Weather manipulation)
Freddie has the ability to control the weather. Using his mind, he can summon rain, wind, hail, lightning, snow, fog and any other naturally occurring weather phenomena, as well as being able to banish these effects and allow the sun to shine. The process is rather swift and he is able to completely shift the weather within mere moments. With enough practice, Fred might develop the ability to fly by manipulating wind currents. He is also capable of learning to bring weather indoors, allowing him to release blasts of lightning from his hands, or conjure concentrated rainclouds for example. (Currently, he is only able to summon winds and fogs indoors.)

- Other skills
Aside from his powers, Freddie is a rather intelligent individual as far as logical-thinking and common sense go, but this isn't shown in his academic performance. He has a creative mind and is a brilliant problem-solver, but struggles with mathematical and scientific concepts. He's a good verbal communicator, making him an asset in teamwork as he is able to share his ideas with the group. Fred is a painter and all-round crafty person, and loves nothing more than working on artistic projects whilst listening to music. During his time at school, he was the top of the class in French due to his parents ownership of a chateaux in Cannes. He was also a fierce actor and was usually picked for the starring role of the school's productions.

| LIMITATIONS AND WEAKNESSES: |

- Meteorokinesis (Weather manipulation)
The main weakness of Freddie's meteorokinesis is the psychic nature of his abilities: Fred is a highly emotional person, and finds that he often subconsciously influences the weather if he lets his emotions get the better of him. For example, accidentally causing storms when he is angry, or rain when he is sad. This stems from a lack of control, and with intensive training Ben should find himself able to better manipulate his powers, rather than simply invoking them and hoping for the best. His abilities are currently rather limited when he is indoors (although he can still affect the outside from within a building, this isn't often useful inside.) He has a rather large area of effect, able to influence the weather over a one mile radius with relative ease; and up to two or three times that with effort. He also has to be present within the area he wishes to influence; he cannot effect areas by looking at a photograph of video stream, for example. Furthermore, he is not exempt from the effects of his conjured weather: rain will wet him, winds will blow him away, lightning will burn him and he cannot see through fog. He must manipulate the elements to his advantage (i.e. directing lightning away from him, changing the direction of wind etc.). The relationship between his emotions and the weather works both ways: as well as his emotions affecting the weather, it is also common for the weather to affect his feelings.

- Other weaknesses
Freddie is not trained in physical combat nor is he particularly strong; he is rather slender and has never visited a gym in his life, making him quite easily overpowered in physical confrontation. He is a highly emotional person, which is something he has always struggled with as when he gets emotional he finds it difficult to see things from other perspectives. It is even more difficult since his powers manifested. Whilst he is good at sharing his opinions, his listening skills are lacking and he tends to think that he is always right. He's very stubborn and struggles to admit his errors, which can sometimes cause conflict. Having lived a privileged life, Freddie is not familiar with the 'real world' and tends not to consider the value of money.

| SAMPLE POST: |

- Freddie's slender fingers scratched at the fur beneath Winston's collar as the fat ginger cat practically grinned in appreciation, purring away contentedly in Freddie's lap. The pair were surrounded by luggage; large, black suitcases containing most of Freddie's worldly goods assembled like soldiers in his large bedroom. Freddie sighed dejectedly.

"Oh Winnie," he said, addressing the cat in a forlorn manner only a teenager could muster. "I really wish I could stay. Lord knows what this school might be like," he said, his thick British accent evident in the turn of phrase. "America, huh? I bet it's simply ghastly..." he sighed once more. "But of course, you don't care," he said, grabbing the cat beneath its front legs and pulling him up so that they were face-to-face. "Do you, my friend?" he said, smiling playfully. The confused look on the fat Persian's face suggested that Freddie was correct. He chuckled to himself, planting a kiss on the cat's nose before setting him down on the bed and beginning to place a few final personal items into a large Louis Vuitton bag. Winston curled up on the pillow and watched half-heartedly.

When he was done, he swung the brown designer bag over his shoulder and scratched the cat's head affectionately. "Well, I guess this is it, old chum." he said, heading over to the door. As he stood in the doorframe, he turned back to survey his room one final time. "Now, one of the help will be up shortly to collect my things," he said, summoning his theatrical experience as he addressed the cat. "You keep them in line for me, Winnie," he said, winking as he fought the sadness within him. The cat was almost as old as he was, and he knew that by the time he'd finished his studies there was likely to be a large, Winston-sized hole in the house he'd grown up in. "And make sure they don't scrimp on the tuna, you fat sod." he said, turning to leave the room as a single salty bead slipped down his cheek.

As he made his way down the large, spiral staircase, he heard a faint tapping on the many windows of the house. Before he reached the bottom of the steps, his father rushed into the marble hallway from outside, his fine coat sodden with water.

"Do hurry up, Freddie boy," his father said. "It's raining."

- This section only exists to appease a dumb rule hidden in the OP. As this information is so vital, I'll gladly reveal it: My favourite drink is the tears Nate sheds when someone declines to include their favourite drink in the Notes section of their character sheet.

[Avanhelsing]

@Lord Wraith
Finally done with Jack. I will change whatever needs to be changed.

[Blue Demon]

@Lord Wraith
So I'm not done (as if that wasn't obvious) I just wanted to run it by you before I cleaned everything up and started on the sample post.
<Sniped CS>

[Hillan]

I wanna make Julian and Kyle best buds already. Have Kyle fuck with Julian's arm on accident. It'll be great.

[Lord Wraith]

@Blue Demon Everything is in order to me!

I'm going to start going through all the CS's now and giving them my verdict and feedback.

[Blue Demon]

I wanna make Julian and Kyle best buds already. Have Kyle fuck with Julian's arm on accident. It'll be great.

@Hillan

That'd make Kyle feel so bad though. Haha :) But I like the idea of them being friends.
Though I can say one thing for sure. @AvanhelsingKyle's not going to like Jack Kyle. (Because Kyle's going to feel like Jack stole his name) Oh the drama!

@Lord WraithSweetness. I'll finish it up then.

[FacePunch]

I guess I need something to replace those Teen Titan RPs that you killed mercilessly I mean tragically died in a completely unavoidable series of events..

[Avanhelsing]

@Blue Demon
He might like him. He loves a good fight no matter what.

[Hillan]

<Snipped quote by Hillan>

That'd make Kyle feel so bad though. Haha :) But I like the idea of them being friends.
Though I can say one thing for sure.

@Blue Demon

I'm sure that if they did become friends, Julian would figure out something to help Kyle get control over his powers - or at least stop hurting others. Being a genius with a few hundred million in his trust fund has it's perks, it would seem.

| NAME: |

Tanya Liberty Lamont

| ALIAS: |

Smoking Liberty, The Bird of Paradise

| AGE: |

18

| ABILITIES/SKILLS/EQUIPMENT: |

To summarize, this power is basically Avian Physiology and Aerokinesis mashed together. Tanya has the ability to transform into a bird-human hybrid with an appearance similar to harpies. Meaning, primarily, her arms and legs will be transforming. Her arms will morph into fifteen-feet long wings, with massive feathers. Now, these won't be normal feathers - no, no. These feathers appear to be a glowing gaseous energy, like a fire, or a plasma. Primarily glowing a green color, with other colors shining in. When she flies, she leaves behind a trail of various colors. Her eyes will also glow a white color that leaves no trace of her original eyes. I should note that she won't have any hands in this state, but Tanya's wings will be flexible enough for her to grab things. Her legs will similarly be covered in variously colored feathers, but she'll have four large talons on her feet, and her legs will be covered in rough, black, keeled, scales. These talons are very strong, and capable of grabbing objects. A kick from her would not be great. Tanya has a tail, technically three long tail feathers that glow with the same energy as the rest of her body. There are feathers and scales in other parts of Tanya body.

Now, the first ability this grants - flight - is obvious, but works in a different way than you'd expect. Instead of flapping her wings, she's capable of a more supernatural flight that's assisted by the aforementioned Aerokinesis. She can do everything you'd expect a flier to do, but she can hover in the air. While in the air, she's incredibly fast and agile. Capable of complex aerials maneuvers and outrunning everything on the ground. That isn't to say that Tanya isn't capable of traditional flight - in fact, it's nearly on par on her aerokinetic flight. Now, I have to cover the aerokinetic aspects. Tanya has a limited control over air (Or more accurately, wind) using her wings. To put it in simple terms, a strong flap of her wings and send a gust of air so strong that'll send the unprepared flying. She can control the force and size of these blasts. She can use this power in order to give herself a burst of speed in any direction. She's also capable of creating miniature twisters using the same method. Twisters that tear the surrounding area to pieces for a couple seconds. At most, she can create one large one, or three smaller ones. The final ability that Tanya has is that she can fire off her razor-sharp feathers at high-speeds like daggers using her aerokinesis to put uumph behind it. While they don't have the weight or density to really penetrate anything armored, they can give someone a nice cut.

A few of her abilities transfer back to her human form. First and foremost, Tanya's skeleton is hollow, and makes her remarkably lightweight. Which allows her to pull off greater feats of agility, and more. Though, this works against her just as much. Secondly, Tanya's movements are faster, and more flowing, and she's capable of pulling off greater feats of agility. Jumping higher, landing slower, and doing acrobatic feats like backflips.

In terms of skills: Tanya's claim to fame is her immense talent in the musical department. Hell, some people would say that it was inherited from her parents. From a young age, Tanya played around with music and sound, both practicing singing when alone, and playing with her guitar. She advanced far above that point by practice, professional training, and, of course, experience. Tanya is a very talented musician, she can play the guitar super well, writes her own lyrics, and has an amazing singing voice worthy of mainstream success! And unlike you amateurs, she doesn't get stage fright. She's preformed live (in several dive bars, and hipster digs) with her whole band. Other than the good old music industry, Tanya plays Tennis from time to time. She isn't a professional, but she's certainly good enough to knock any beginner on their ass. Tanya is also a writer, she writes novels and such and such in her spare time. Nothing that'd ever get published, but it's something that helps her write lyrics. Working at a seafood restaurant has taught her how to cook. Naturally, she has a guitar. She joked about using a steel guitar to fight crime when she becomes a hero.

| LIMITATIONS AND WEAKNESSES: |

Tanya's power is connected to the feathers on her body. She'll be constantly losing feathers in her BoP form at a rate so slow that it won't really matter. However, once she starts using her aerokinesis, she'll start losing feathers at a fast rate (and the same goes for shooting them). The less feathers Tanya has, the weaker she gets, until she's so powerless that she might as well switch back to human form. It'll take her awhile to regenerate feathers, at least two hours. Tanya's bones are mighty brittle, both in and out of human form. While they won't shatter when hit by say, a punch by a fully grown man; they will break when hit by a baseball bat, or a super strong punch. The same goes for falling. Using her aerokinesis also causes breathing problems. The second she shoots a gust of wind, she's going to have a severe case of shortness of breath, and she'll need a moment or two to recover. Overuse will eventually cause her to suffocate, and die to death. Also, she doesn't have any extra bird senses, her senses will remain at human levels. So she's going to have a very hard time seeing while going at high speeds. This is obvious, but it'd be hard as hell for her to grab stuff.

| SAMPLE POST: |

The shiny feather reflected sunlight as Tanya examined it, casually. She was leaning back in her chair, with her feet kicked up onto the desk. Thank God the class room was empty, Mr. Winglington would shit if he saw her. Especially with her shoes off. She was wondering where did this unique feather come from. It just... fell off of her. This was truly unlike anything she's seen before. Well, it'd be pretty bitching glued to her guitar case! Holding onto the feather, Tanya pulled her feet off the table, and then put them onto the floor, sliding them into her sandals. She stood up, and looked down to pick up her guitar, lazily leaning up against the desk chair. She slung it over her shoulder by the strap, and slid the feather into the breast pocket of her dress shirt. She looked down and adjusted her black skirt, and began walking out of the room. Immediately being bombarded with the noise and chatter of the crowded hallway. She casually smirked as she pushed through the chaos without a single soul paying her any mind. They were busy, and so was she.... relatively speaking. She'd need to head over to the other side of the school to the dorms.

She stepped out of the Educational building, facing the front of the school (With students all over the place), and was hit with the sly autumn breeze... Another reminder that Summer was looooong pushed out. She enjoyed it actually. Her toes curled on top of her sandals as she took one step, two steps, three steps, looking around, seeing not a soul she associated with, or wanted to talk to. Tanya shrugged as she moved forward towards the dorms.

A strong breeze interrupted her stride as the feather she found flew out of her breast pocket. "Hey! Get back here!" Tanya said, in a thick Jamaican accent, (to the feather) as she quickly chased after it. The feather landed at some young girl's feet, and Tanya quickly put her foot on the feather, and reached down to pick it up. She smirked as she stood straight up - but didn't realize that she was standing in front of someone. Who was probably just enjoying their evening. Well, looks like she'll have to say something to her.

"Oh, hey there, girl. How ya' doing?" Tanya chuckled, her accent was thick. "I was just trying to catch this thing." She presented the glowing feather to the girl, a wide smirk on her face. "Cool, isn't it?"

Their conversation went on from there.

| NOTES: |

• There are so many things to know about the wonderful Tanya Lamont. Let's start with her Amazon Parrot, Kiwi! She had Kiwi for years, before she had even developed her power. Assisted by a background ability, Tanya can order Kiwi around, and give him complex orders, almost like he was smart as a corvid!
• Daughter of two indie musicians from Jamaica. Tanya is, obviously, Jamaican herself.

I'm still waiting for my fucking icetea, Wraith

[Blue Demon]

@AvanhelsingWell, Kyle would sure fight with Jack. ._.

@HillanMoney makes everything better right? Haha. Though I'm sure Kyle will appreciate anyone willing to spend time with him. Once he's sure they're sane...ish?

[Avanhelsing]

@Blue DemonSEE! I ALREADY AM CONFUSED WITH ALL THESE NAMES!

[Lord Wraith]

@Archmage MC After re-reading Light's sheet she's a fun idea but to me she just doesn't fit the RP. She almost seems too silly, not that I'm saying this is a gritty RP but to me she's just too different. I think what bothers me most is the fact that Light appears so out of place. I just don't see the concept working in the long run.

@Hillan Julian is looking good. I don't have any issues with the CS aside from it being incomplete at this moment.

@Avanhelsing I like Jack, although I do think it's a little boring that he seems to just be a male Catwoman. Would have been interesting if his male parentage had given him some interesting gifts such as metahuman abilities. If you don't want to change him, I'd be happy to accept him once you've double checked the rules ;)

@Tyler Everything looks good, as always I'm hesitant towards weather manipulation since it covers such a wide range of abilities but yours seem well balanced and checked. Will be happy to accept it once you've double checked the rules.

@Blue Demon As above, everything is looking quite good but the rules do need to be adhered to. Just missing one small detail.

@Mr Allen J I've accepted it before, I'll accept it again! Welcome aboard.

[Archmage MC]

@Lord Wraith Think of Light like a more Cartoony Deadpool, although less grating and only genre savvy instead of a 4th wall breaker. You did say anything in Marvel or DC was fine, and Marvel has lots of weird looking characters like her. DC not so much I don't think, but they're also racist so... Course DC also has killer croc...
