Star Wars The Victory Of Jedi {Always accepting}

@Burning KittyAt this point, they'd probably think you were a Dark Jedi, not a Mandalorian. And Dark Jedi are linked to the Seperatists, so they'd assume you were sent by them for some reason. They don't really have any evidence you are a state official, so I don't think they'll cut you any slack for that.

The College Life of Nonhumans

@GoddessGurlexactly what can her power do?

Other than that it sounds great.

The College Life of Nonhumans

Just added "degree" and "reason for wanting degree" to the CS, because (duh Mr. Unknowable) we are at college.

The College Life of Nonhumans

@Lady Seluneforgot to mention that my second character will be a Djinn. He uses his powers to hide Sergio's wings and tail, and Sergio helps him deal with people, especially women.

The College Life of Nonhumans

@The Seraphimyep. My two versions of angels, Seraphim and Cherabim, were either sent to earth to be tested (all of them have to go through it sense Lucifer's rebellion) or the descendants of them. Seraphim are fighters and Cherabim are support (non-comms, healers, entertainers, functionaries, etc.). Seraphs tend to be logical and always honest, Cheribs are honest, but more emotional.

You can always have your own form of these (maybe an outcast clan/tribe) or make your own version up.

The College Life of Nonhumans

@Lady Seluneno, it isn't NSFW. Cambians don't need to sleep with people to feed on them, it's just the fastest, most efficient way. He will, howecver, hang out in night clubs and at parties because Lust saturated the air there.

The College Life of Nonhumans

Character Sheet:

Name:

Race: (no humans, though half/quarter etc humans are fine, as is being partly multiple races. Just keep it balanced and not OP)

Powers: (usually come in a set which follows a theme, but sometimes people have extra powers from an ancestor)

Year: (How long have you been going here)

Degree: (what are you going here for)

Reason for wanting degree: (goal for getting it)

Personality:

Bio:

Sample CS: Sergio LaMont

Name: Sergio LaMont

Race: Cambian

Powers: Emotional sensing (Lust and Love), Absorb emotional energy (Love and Lust, needed to survive, fights aging in older Cambians), Illusion (make themself look like a different person of the same gender)

Year: 3rd

Degree: Prelaw

Reason for wanting degree: So he can help defend nonhumans from bigots.

Hobbies/Clubs: Visits a lot of clubs and parties.

Personality: Loves to hang out and socialize, but he's determined to do well in school so that he can get a law degree, like his father.

Bio: Born just before humans found out about all of the other races, he grew up with people judging him. His dad was a US Senator, but when people found out that humans weren't the only people on the planet a large enough "Humans should be represented by humans" movement sprouted up to lose him and several others their position. After that his dad restarted his career as an attorney, helping non humans who felt they were being discriminated against.
Sergio has wanted to help his dad out for a long time, but without a law degree he was stuck doing paperwork and other menial tasks. When he graduated high school, though, his dad made him a deal: get strait As in prelaw and he would pay for Sergio to go to Harvard.

Greg Simmons

Name: Greg Simmons

Race: Djinn

Powers: Manifestation: He can make objects, alter bodies, and give people powers. The strength of those powers depends on the desire of the person, and the more complex the object, alteration, or power is the more desire it requires to maintain. A Djinn must also understand how something works before they create it, and the energy released by the object, alteration, or power must come from either the user or their desire.
Type C blood: All pure Djinn and many hybrids have a special protein in their blood that, while making their blood incompatible with anyone that isn't type C, interacts with neurotransmitters in their brain. This helps feed their brain, making them build up mental stress more slowly, and allows them to actively change the signals their brains send to their bodies. Many use it to alter hormones or control autonomous functions. Greg uses it to increase his metabolism and lower his Myostatin levels, so that he looks like he works out even though he sits around playing games all day.

Year: 3rd

Degree: Computer programming

Reason for wanting degree: To become a game developer.

Hobbies/Clubs: Plays a lot of video games, HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts) Club

Personality: He's a geek. He loves learning about how things work, but is socially inept. Doesn't like to be around humans because of the pro-human groups that mistreated him as a kid.

Bio: The son of a fashion designer and a machinist, he grew up fairly normally until his dad's boss fired him. His boss claimed that he was slacking off, but he thought it was because his boss hated non-humans. He hired Sergio's father, and the investigation resulted in death threats, attacks, and various forms of harassment, events which they learned were orchestrated by his former boss to try and get him to drop the case. They also discovered that his former boss had joined an online "pure humans" group where anyone that wasn't a pure human wasn't welcome.
After winning the case they decided to move into the non-human area of the city, and Greg grew up with few humans around. Greg became friends with Sergio, and his dad got a job designing car parts for a performance car factory in town. The occasional attacks on the neighborhood, however, have made his weary of humans. That's one of the reasons he turned to online games, as no one can tell what race you are without a picture to look at.

The College Life of Nonhumans

Twenty years ago the world at large found out that many of the mythological beings they had heard about were real. Humans were still 90+% of the population, though Pure Humans only made up about 1%. They also found out that almost all humans could gain paranormal powers like the non-humans tended to have, but the were dormant until something triggered them to awaken.

Society was integrated, and nonhuman began living and working beside humans. There were problems, though, as humans expected them to be like the stories said their race was. There were even a few cases where "demons" were killed by people either for prejudicial or religious reasons.

We are nonhumans which go to East Coast City University. College life isn't immune from prejudice either, so we have to deal with it.

Races so far:

Pure human: People with genes only from Homo Sapiens and Homo Neanderthalensis. They tend to be very adaptive, as do their powers.
Human: people that are physiologically indistinguishable from pure humans. Generally have genes from multiple races, though are predominantly Homo Sapiens.
Cambian: Incubi and Succubi. Pureblood ones have wings and tails, as well as purple tinting around the sides of their face and body
Powers include the ability to sense and absorb Lust and Love emotional energy, and disguise themselves with illusion. Absorbing enough energy will slow, halt, or reverse aging in mature ones.
Djinn: Typically look a lot like humans, but with grey irises that glow blue when they use their powers. Powers include the ability to channel desire into physical objects, physiological changes, or powers. Such constructs require desire to contine to exist.

Why We Fight? (WWII with superpowers)

@shylarahIt's kind of hard to play a culture you aren't that familiar with. If I did play a Jewish character, it would mostly be in name only, unless there was an obvious opening, like the opportunity to taunt a Nazi, or it was around Christmas time (so I could be alienated from the team's holiday celebration or be a loner and do Hannukkah (chanukkah?) myself.

You would be able to play them much better.

Why We Fight? (WWII with superpowers)

I'll be watching this. I like the idea, but have no idea what I'd want to play in it.

I would play a Japanese American or Jew (for the RP possibilities) but don't want to risk someone thinking I'm racist because my character has a specific trait. (Ex: My character's a clepto, so people thing I'm saying all insert-race-here are thieves)

No idea what power would work well either. I want something subtle, but situationally useful. Speaking with animals, maybe?

My favorite power (duplicating a nearby power, with skill and strength based on my understanding of it and distance, up to a certain strength) is too OP for this.
