Y'all three are the only ones still alive that I suspect are working on something. Status update, tho? Don't want to wait forever.

Also, @Lugubrious, since I don't think anyone's intent on going solo human to pair up with you, I think it might be best if you made one for yourself.

@Ammokkx I'm trying to work out brainstorming things with my friend but her schedule seems to have gotten pretty hectic recently. I was going to wait a little while longer to see if things settle down for her. If not, I'll forge ahead and make both characters myself.

Sorry, just have had my mind on other things at the moment. I can get it done by the weekend. Apologies for the wait though, didn't intend for it to take this long.

I just want to be kept in the loop, 's all. Having 3,5 accepted players means waiting too long makes them wait too, so I gotta cut my losses at some point if people aren't keeping me updated. I won't set a strict deadline yet, but if another day or two passes without any activity here I might set one just to light a bit of a fire underneath all y'all's asses.

Goes for everyone else too, for the record.

Friend is out, so it's just me! I'll have to rework the concept a bit but I'm going into this with earnest.

Well this seems interesting to give a shot.

Got room for one more here? Dunno quite what I'll be making yet, but just to keep things simple, probably a human/construct pair, unless someone has need of a partner of either or here.

Lugubrious was still looking for a human partner, even if I'd said he was probably best off making one himself since nobody was showing interest in playing one. Otherwise, though, I'm still accepting people as I've not reached what I'd call my personal limit on players I can handle. Even if I had, there wouldn't be any guarantee every person who showed interest would get in, anyway.

That is, to say, you do you man. I'll accept pretty much anyone that can impress me.

So I thought I recognized that girl, and I was right. It's Hoodier's girl!

Obscure source hunting aside, I'm about 90% okay with this. I need a few clarifications before I can feel entirely comfortable accepting you, though.

1: While it's technically possible to earn a scholarship through an institute like Geiru and transition back to a normal, higher education if you take some competency tests, it still seems like a weird choice to me. It doesn't look like Chidori is particularly interested in protecting the nation and it's not like the institute itself will delve particularly deep into science, which is her forte. Could you explain this a bit more?

2: Nehla's power is a bit too vague for me, and doesn't seem to match up too well with her visual design. A friend of mine suggested you might be going for a "siren" angle since the one line of hers mentioned singing, but if that's the case, how does she release shockwaves into the earth? Face-plant and yell into the ground? There needs to be some more explanation on *how* her powers work, I feel, not just what effect they could have.

Give me some more of that and I'll prolly be fine with this, most of this seems alright to me.

A rash decision mostly, bought on by a desire to particularly just get herself away from her family. She's smart, but doesn't have a lot of world experience and just did what seemed like a good idea at the time. A big factor was simply a desire to see constructs up close, even hostile ones. She also probably assumed a place like Geiru would have like an R&D department or something she could get into.

If not, well, she'll have to deal with that.

Whoops. Dropped the ball on that bit.

It'd be hard for her to make an earthquake, but it would certainly be possible. Dive her talons into the ground, amplify the resulting vibrations downwards, and you get an earthquake. More realistically, she'd probably use something like the beating of her wings to generate directed blasts of pressure towards targets, and as you said her 'voice' in a way similar as a constant stream of pressure to blast something.

If you're not sold on the power though and don't think it fits her visually, I don't mind changing it. Just felt like doing something like a standard thunder or wind bird would be a bit cliche and a change of pace from what I normally do. I wasn't particularly going for a siren feel at all, though. The whole thing about finding her voice was simply a metaphor for Chidori's lack of confidence and Nehls excess of it.

Suppose I could go for a more Siren angle, but I don't really know what that would entail at the moment.

Yeah, this makes enough sense to me. Doesn't have any R&D you can get into as a regular student though; it's a standardized course for every enrollment. Again, though, it's not like she's screwed out of academics forever even if she does spend the rest of her formative years there.

I'm honestly even more confused than I started.

This doesn't really bring up the image of her specifically manipulating sound in my head. Sound manifests itself in waves, yes, but they're not the only kind of waves. Light is a type of wave, too. Just vibration on its own is not sound, it's a specific type of vibration that our ears are sensitive to which causes them to pick it up and convert it to something audible.

If her powers are to manipulate motion in a more general fashion then, yeah, what you described could work in some fashion. The idea of being able to remotely control the vibration or motion of your feathers could work to that end; by having them spazz out in mid-air you could create a current or, indeed, if done at a certain frequency, create a sound. Spin them around on their own axis and you might even have something that can cut while making a hellish shrieking noise from slicing through the air like that.

It just sounds like you want to use the force rather than anything audio-based, is all I'm saying.

The way I understand it, what humans perceive is sound is a result of a pressure wave - whether audible or not to the human ear. That pressure wave then creates vibrations as it travels through a medium, thus disturbing it and creating those vibrations. Those vibrations are then translated as 'Sound'. As an example, a Sonic Boom travels at different speeds and sounds vastly different in air than it would in water, which is the result of the pressure wave moving through a different medium.

If that's not how it works then welp, everything I know is a lie and that's how I've always been using this sort of power in my like, ten plus years of RPing and boy do I feel silly.

That said, to make things a bit easier and less confusing, I'll just come up with something a bit more appropriate after I get some food in me.
