Just how realistic are you looking for though? I ask because I kind of pictured my light guy actually becoming a being of "hard light" when he uses his powers. Is that too unrealistic?

Anyone else think Claudia Black should be the next Doctor Who?

One of my favourite celebrities of all time and a remarkable human being has passed away. Rest in peace, Adam West. You will be deeply missed.

Why do people say "Tuna Fish sandwich"? That's like saying "Chicken Bird sandwich."

Bio
I never know what to put in these things. I'm just a guy who likes making stories. If I'm not roleplaying, I'm writing my own stuff or just creating random characters. I'm particularly fond of superheroes but I also really like character driven stuff and tend to dive into the details of a character. No character can be too detailed as far as I'm concerned.

You're too hard on yourself, mate. You're fine.
I think I may be interested in this. I've been looking for a good super rp lately and have an idea for a character. Can I call dibs on "light control/manipulation" ?
Staring intently at the readouts on her scanner, Amara didn't even notice the looks Cody was getting as he plodded around, trying to sniff at things though his helmet. It was only when chief addressed her that she looked up from the device and raised a slightly confused eyebrow at him. TreVayne's question slightly annoyed her. Of course Cody was here in an official capacity. Did he think she was the kind of person who would just bring a pet to a possibly hostile environment? Did he think she was that unprofessional?
Martian medics often worked with canines during field operations. The Martian mentality was such everything needed to have a purpose. If anyone or anything was just there using food and oxygen and not contributing anything to society, then there was no place for them. So even the few dogs that were brought to Mars were put to work in various fields. Cody, though occasionally being a slobbering idiot, was an invaluable tool in these kinds of situations. Not only was he often the first one on scene when someone was hurt in the field, he could also reach areas that were simply inaccessible to a human rescue team. It made sense to utilise such a tool. At least to the Martian mind. Looking around now, Amara realised that Terrans perhaps didn't think the same way.
She was just about to explain the benefits of having Cody with them when something raced past them, much to fast for anyone to see, and she quickly lost her train of thought. "What the..." she mouthed, not quite managing to get her mouth to make the accompanying sounds. She didn't even realise the laws of physics would allow anything to move that quickly.
Cody seemed justifiably disturbed by whatever it was and after letting out a few barks of warning, he planted himself at Amara's side, leaning on her leg for some measure of comfort. Amara did her best to calm him, holding onto the side of his helmet to reassure him.
Amara would have loved to track whatever it was down and study it's biological structure but no one had any idea where it had even gone. Not to mention that the chances of actually catching it where slim to none. Besides, her priority right now was the humans, not alien lifeforms. No matter how fascinating they may be. Plus, chief TreVayne ordered that the local flora and fauna was not to be disturbed.
Disappointing.
The group soon moved off and Amara tapped a command into the handheld controls of the three small environmental probe droids that she had sent into the air before the rest of the team arrived, ordering them to move slightly ahead of the group and scan for toxins in the air. The air where the Nyx had landed didn't seem hazardous (though is was far from perfect) but there was no telling what they might run into as they travelled. Gas pockets, spore clouds, really bad smells...Amara didn't really want to encounter any of them.
As the goup moved, Amara became increasingly agitated by the science team wandering off. She felt like a mother trying to corral excited kids on a day out. The expression on the chiefs face told her he felt just the same. Being far more authoritative though, TreVayne managed to get them to wait while he set up his drones around the orb. Both he and Amara seemed to feel a lot more at ease after that and Amara sat cross legged on the ground as she watched the scientists go about their research with Cody lying nearby, tail gently whipping small particles of dirt from the ground.
---------------------------------------
A short time later, Amara was still sitting in the same position but Cody's curiosity had gotten the better of him and he had wandered over to sit by the science team as they went about their work. He wasn't interested in their work or even the giant orb thing, having no idea what they were doing or what the hell that thing was. It vaguely looked like it may have been some kind of ball at some point but it was much too large to chase. He didn't even want to think about how he would bring it back after it was thrown.
No, Cody's interest was in the science team themselves. He loved people. All people. Every time one of them passed by, he expectantly wagged his tail and then immediately dropped it when they paid him no attention. Each time this happened, he looked like his entire world was sadness but he quickly perked up again when another human came nearby, only for his hopes of interaction to be dashed again. It was a vicious cycle but one this dog would endure so long as there was even a hope of being petted.
Amara, meanwhile, was once again reading the data sent back by her probes, just to quadruple check that everything was fine. She was 99% sure their environmental suits would keep them safe even if some deadly gas cloud was to wash over them but she had seen suits fail in the past so she wanted to get a heads up if anything was on the way.
Her attention was drawn away from her scanner when she heard someone call for chief TreVayne. Her eyes shot to Phillips and she followed his eyes up to where he was looking. Once she spotted the descending creatures, she immediately sprang to her feet and in her calmest but still authoritative voice said "Phillips, move away from them."
Cody let out a whimper of discomfort as he spotted the creatures, torn as he was between chasing and eating them and running in the opposite direction. He shifted in place for a second then took a couple of steps back, just to be safe.
Amara didn't want to take any chances with these things. Who knew what they were capable of. They were alien life forms after all. For all she knew, they could be capable of spitting acid that would eat through their suits. And if they could do that, the squishy meat inside didn't stand a chance.
Maybe she was being paranoid but she thought it was better to be safe than a puddle of ooze and waved for the rest of the team to move out of the way as well.

CODE BLUE
As the beast made it's way through the alien terrain, Amara left the command centre and made her own way to a quiet and isolated corner of the craft. There was one last job she had to to before they set off. She had left it to the last minute to avoid him causing chaos aboard the beast. As she reached her destination, she looked over her shoulder to see if anyone was around. Satisfied that she was alone, she moved closer to the several crates full of supplies. One of the crates stood out, looking more like a cage than the others.
As Amara approached the cage, she heard a shuffling sound from inside it. "Great, he's awake." she thought to herself, slowing her pace. She peeked through the bars on the small window as she said "Hey there. I'm going to let you out now but you have to promise to be cool, okay?"
There was no response.
"Okay." said Amara to herself as she began typing a code into the keypad lock with some trepidation. As soon as she pressed the last digit a light on the lock turned to green with a loud buzz and the door suddenly swung open with more speed and force that Amara had been prepared for and it knocked her backwards onto her ass.
Before she had time to react, he had pounced on her. Knocking her onto her back, he started licking her face...
Amara made a long sound of disgust as she pushed the dog away and tried to sit up but he was quickly on her again, putting his whole body on top of hers and cuddling her with an affection that only dogs seemed capable of. Eventually, Amara relented with a sigh and wrapped her arms around the mutt. He seemed to appreciate this and settled slightly. Amara threw several completely unintelligible words his way as she hugged her canine companion.
She didn't really have time for this now though and she didn't want anyone to see that she wasn't completely emotionless after all. She had a reputation to protect.
"Stand at attention, soldier!" she informed him and he immediately leaped to his feet, twirled around and plonked himself down on his butt. He blew three puffs of air from his nose and relentlessly wagged his tail, obviously still very excited. But Cody was always excited. Relentlessly happy and absolutely adored everyone he ever met. Amara often worried that he would have a heart attack if he didn't calm the hell down every now and then. It was why she had make him wait in his cage during the flight to the planet. With so much excitement in the air from everyone else, if Cody picked up on it, he may have exploded.
Amara got back to her feet and collected herself, standing with her hands behind her back in a military stance. "Code Blue." she said, addressing the dog by his somewhat official, somewhat jokey name. "We have a new mission. To protect the lives of the crew of this vessel. We find ourselves in a new and potentially hostile environment. There's no telling what kind of threats we may face but it is our sworn duty to protect those in our care. Are you up for the challenge."
Cody offered a small bark by way of acknowledgement and his tongue slid out the side of his mouth.
"Good." said Amara. "We're almost at our destination. Let's get ready."
Fortunately, Cody was already wearing his specially fitted suit. All Amara had to do now was fit his helmet, which made him look even derpier than usual and she tried her very best not to smile at how silly he looked once it was in place. She than led him out towards the the ramp where they were to meet the rest of the team. She had half expected him to go bounding off to try and lick everyone else through his helmet but he stayed by her side the entire time until they stopped moving. Then he did a quick lap around her legs and sat down at her side, slamming his now armoured head into her thigh as he did so. Amara looked down at her companion to see him looking back at her with that stupid "I'm so happy!" expression he constantly had plastered on his face. Amara rolled her eyes at him. If she had to deal with a person like Cody, she would probably hate their guts but for some reason she loved this mutt.
Probably not as much as he loved her though. That would be impossible.

Uh...Maybe, possibly interested...Maybe...
As much fun as I had with this, Acer, given the lack of returning players and being as busy as I am...I'd say just leave it.
So... I have been off for a long time. Insanely long actually.
I wanted to say sorry for my inactivity and just sort of... bailing out. The adult life was a lot harder then I thought it would be. I hope my decisions didn't cause too much damage, and if they did I am sorry and I hope I can make it up to everyone at some point. I don't have any real intentions of doing any Role-Playing for a while as I am still not in a situation to do much.
So yeah... sorry for the whole lot.
I's fne, Rem. Real life always comes first.
Well, Rawk's out.
I can't see Rem or Thunder coming back either so...maybe we just leave it.

I know it was my idea to get it going again but, after thinking about it a little more, if we can't get enough of the old group back together, maybe we should just leave it.
