Bio
Hi hi hi there ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. I am Maiden, aka Maiden of a Million Words. I've been a member of RPG since 2010, and before Guildfall I was a notorious long-poster with a post count over 3000. In recent years since I haven't done much roleplaying; I don't trust myself to post consistently for long periods of time. Instead, I've been writing short stories and novellas whenever I feel the urge to make magic with twenty-six letters. Still, fond memories and a sense of nostalgia keep me coming back to the ol' Guild... even if all I do is post a new signature set and have a bit of a read through Advanced.
I'm a middle-aged female currently living in the Southeastern United States. I have a pretty average/boring clerical job. In addition to writing and roleplaying I enjoy hiking, horseback riding, shooting, graphic art and napping. If there's something you'd like to know, feel free to PM me and ask... I'll get back to you eventually.

Okee dokee! I'm back in good shape, lol!
@ Kiddo: All right. In all honesty, I'm not as concerned with how his power works as much as I am with my ability to limit it. I'm good with magical pseudo-science, and I'm happy with the collar if you are.
@ Ethan: Wow, that's two characters' powers I didn't understand clearly, lol! So long as Roger's powers are naturally limited to minor distortions, we're good.
And that's that, lol. I dunno why I expected to have to write a bunch?

That doesn't sound good. XD
Sorry I've been quiet for the past couple days. I have been battling a migraine for like two days now, and the computer screen is so bright it hurts my eyes. But I had to drag myself online and let you know that I'm still alive. Hopefully mah brainz will be back in working order tomorrow.

Thanks for the warning, guys. Sorry I haven't been around the past couple days, Sunday was crazy and I had a wicked headache yesterday that ran over into today. I can hardly even think straight. Ughhhh. But I had to at least log on and post to let y'all know I'm still alive and should be able to handle bidness tomorrow.
Adowabale? Reri can be cute I guess, sometimes, but the way I remember it Angel is kind of a jerk and likes to play mindgames with everyone. And that's not cute. ;P
I have to get out of this chair... but I can't seem to tear myself away from the computer. XD

Haha you are certainly welcome! And you are never alone :) We are always watching <3
... always... O.O
How sweet, and creepy. Thanks! <3
You guys know I love cookies. >_> *noms*
The recruiting thread is looking pretty good. We have an elderly man that used to work for Disney, a warped Legendary Pokemon, and a hyper-butterfly all turned in. There's one more who expressed interest but hasn't posted a sheet. I'm a happy camper: I love weird shit. XD
Easy there, guys. Don't explode your brains and take it down a notch with the off-topic stuff, please and thank you. Glad to see you're getting along so well, though. ;)
Okay, here it is; properly. XD
A wise idea.
When I read the age and appearance on your character, it was like seeing a ghost. He reminds me of Kidney, which both horrifies and fascinates me. Kidney was the greatest antagonist ever to grace the pages of Twisted, just so you know.
The only issue I see with the CS is Roger’s ability to “distort reality”. To be able to actually distort the reality of the dimension is just too strong: coupled with his advanced dementia, he’d be housed downstairs. I have two suggestions for how to fix this. One: Roger is able to distort the perceived reality of one person, and only at a time when they are overcome with emotion. (Be it any emotion or a particular one like nostalgia or wistfulness.) Two: (I like this one better!) He carries with him a small, unassuming writing implement. Instead of drawing on paper, he can draw on the fabric of reality and send little cartoon animals, people, whatever, bouncing out of thin air. I would think he’d have to wear some kind of gloves to keep him from imbuing these creations with the strength and willpower to do any harm, and they might even break apart when touched or when bumping into something too roughly. (In my mind, I see fine-gauge titanium chains around Roger’s wrists, outside the gloves, making them impossible to take off… but the specific details are up to you.)
Or, if you have another idea for his powers, feel free to bounce it off me. I’m all ears! :)
The others are right, Roger is wonderful. It's the first time I've seen a super soldier done in a manner that didn't make him seem the sort to pull a Leroy Jenkins.
Well done!
Kiddo, I’m super-cool with you playing his withdrawl symptoms as part of his arrival. Good to hear we’re on the same page.
I’m also with you on the source material: an OC in the borrowed setting. I have great respect for fanfic, so don’t be ashamed of your inspiration: some of that stuff is completely brilliant. Those writers just do it differently than we do, that’s all.
In regards to Kevin’s powers and his limiter, I’ll start with a quote from Wikipedia on electric shock.
That’s the limit of what Kevin can do, the "Let Go" threshold. I’m too lazy for much further research, but I’m going to say that’s also enough to blow out a light bulb, fry a television or a computer screen, and to be a literal pain in the ass. Here’s how the collar works: it’s a solid piece of metal (perhaps the metal from a Master Pokeball?), and doesn’t appear to have a seam. The Institute staff lasered away the fur beneath before attaching it, and it doesn’t ever move. (You can decide if it’s physically attached to him: I was thinking through a dermal piercing or a small wire that goes into his spine. But if that’s not cool with you, it doesn’t have to be. I’m just violent.) There’s a microchip situated directly over his spine that interrupts his neural impulses enough that he can’t use his psychic or electrical attacks very well. This is very similar to the chip implanted in my Cadie’s skull which keeps her telekinesis restrained.
Sorry. If you want him uninhibited you’ll have to change his power to something significantly weaker… like making him naturally the power level I described above. I would suggest you keep his power level and accept the collar. I think (considering the setting) I’ve described a very reasonable method of restraint.
I agree that his interactions with the other characters have great potential for hilarity, but you need to check the OOC first posts again. The Ragdoll belonged to one of our former players, and will be officially removed (much to Buck’s dismay) in my next post. The remaining PC’s are Pumirya’s Simone, El_Tigre’s Dante, Oblivion’s Anya, Katelyn’s Lia, and my own Cadence, Jax, Bernadette, and Nurse Buck. (Maybe Jean, but all the other nurses are NPCs.) Bernie does have a CS but it’s not finished so I haven’t added it to my gallery yet. Just one more thing on my long to-do list.
Nonsequitur, that’s beautiful. So Ryn was a bit of a bully and Bob was a bug. I’m satisfied, and thank you. :)
Amazing work, everyone! These are all brilliant, and I’m excited to see the characters in play. I’m curious as to whether or not you guys would like to do a simple character exercise for me, like a sample post or a day-in-the-life short story. It’s not mandatory or anything, just wondering.
I also realize it’s only been three days since the thread went up, and if I follow through with my full two weeks it’s still eleven days until the thread closes. Even though this is staying pretty active, we don’t seem to be getting much new interest. The IC is halfway through a post cycle tomorrow, which means I’m due to post again next Sunday, and if we can get all our sheets turned in by then the new recruits can jump in with the post cycle. (We’ll discuss the specifics later.)
In other words, I’m making the new deadline next Sunday, June 8th at Midnight. (The 8th going into the 9th.)
Phones, you still with us?
Now I seriously need a break. x.X

Ethan said I'll let my Character Sheet do the talking. ^-^

In regards to Kevin’s powers and his limiter, I’ll start with a quote from Wikipedia on electric shock.
The Wiki said The minimum current a human can feel depends on the current type (AC or DC) and frequency. A person can feel at least 1 mA (rms) of AC at 60 Hz, while at least 5 mA for DC. At around 10 milliamperes, AC current passing through the arm of a 68 kg (150 lb) human can cause powerful muscle contractions; the victim is unable to voluntarily control muscles and cannot release an electrified object. This is known as the "let go threshold" and is a criterion for shock hazard in electrical regulations.
That’s the limit of what Kevin can do, the "Let Go" threshold. I’m too lazy for much further research, but I’m going to say that’s also enough to blow out a light bulb, fry a television or a computer screen, and to be a literal pain in the ass.

This is very similar to the chip implanted in my Cadie’s skull which keeps her telekinesis restrained.

I appreciate your patience, guys. I got distracted by a barbecue and then caught up in writing what I had intended to be a short post for another RP I write for. (Spirited away by my muse, I suppose. XD) I have to get some laundry in the wash but then I'm gonna settle down and do this. Sorry for the delay... but it's the weekend and I'm totally in chill mode.
Lina's face when you said breakfast.
Post has been edited... since no one else has made it to breakfast yet, I put Kai and Lina in the dining room alone. Thought one big round table kind of felt like Camelot and would also help for interaction's sake. Although they're eating pretty intently, it's safe to assume Lina would smile and say 'good morning' to anyone who entered the room, and Kai would at least look up and nod when she did so. How's that, X?
Edit: Also, thanks Ryver! I don't intend for them to be so sappy all the time, they're actually pretty lighthearted. I had planned to play that scene during their first close call with death... I just didn't realize that it would be in the very first few posts I made. It's okay, I plan on keeping the tension alive for at least a little while while Lina waits for that perfect moment. And I'm sure that the Gemellie will keep them busy enough that they don't have a lot of time to dwell on it. ;D

Mine's up. Xodus, I hope you don't mind, I took a few liberties with Gadrael's attack, and since Kai and Lina were last on the list I figured it wouldn't matter much if I added an extra sixty seconds to the battle. That's all it took for them to be beat almost to death. >.<
When attempting to write Lina and Kai waking up naked in the pods, in a room containing other people, I realized something. The sight of those pods, coupled with being naked in front of Kai and everyone else, after what just happened... was going to be enough to give my little doll a bit of a mental breakdown. Since I figured it would be better to play it in such a way that wouldn't leave her a sobbing mess for the next several hours and too embarrassed to show her face for the rest of the day... I gave them an early out. They were no more than half an hour ahead of everyone else, and are going to have breakfast while they wait. Again, I hope that's okay with you, Xodus.
My theory is that it's better to ask forgiveness than permission. If you really want me to edit the post, I will... but it turned out so beautifully!
Now, off to my Twisted threads. x.X
