Hello! It's me, Utrax! I wasn't in the interest check but I'm Very Interested. And I completely understand if this CS is too over the top. <3 Thanks for reading and I hope the RP goes well either way! [hider=Bones] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/aReUuid.png[/img][/center] [color=95E091]Age:[/color] 23? [color=95E091]Gender:[/color] NONE -- He/They [color=95E091]Appearance:[/color] [hider=Oh No][center][img]https://i.imgur.com/nzeVsqz.png[/img][/center][/hider] That's right. Due to the Bonding, nothing remains of his flesh, but for a skeleton which has been colored neon hues, and a skull which holds three eye sockets. In the dark, the illumination from those empty eye sockets is a soft green. Oh, make no mistake, Bones tries to wear clothing but it gets expensive, due to the fact that anything in long-term contact with his bones degrades rapidly- becoming a tattered mess in two days. This is due to his constant state of "telekinetic repulsion." [color=95E091]Personality:[/color] Madness? For quite some time, it was thought that the Bonding had failed- that he had been driven mad by it- yet. In the midst of their newly moody personality, the extreme amnesia which rendered them temporarily unable to communicate, and the occasionally violent moments of him throwing things around, it became apparent that he wasn't mad- no, well, not that kind of mad- but he was sane! Sort of. Bones- as he absolutely hates to be called- can be described as quiet, because manifesting a "sound" voice is an exhausting task. He's adept in several sign languages, though the missing face has thrust him into his own dialect, and will often make a lot of effort to communicate, as he's actually rather friendly- sometimes. Their moods can swing from friendly to hateful on a whim, but staying on his good side isn't difficult. Mostly. Their personality has dissolved into chaos that tends to be mostly functional but sometimes isn't. [color=95E091]Abilities/Powers:[/color] [u][b]ASCENDED Skeletal Body[/b][/u] Bones has become a skeleton! However, the skeletal remains have turned into a substance far harder than actual bone- possibly the toughest substance on the planet currently- and it is the only known substance immune to his primary ability. He feels no [i]physical[/i] pain, no temperature changes, and no physical fatigue. [u][b]Telekinesis[/b][/u] The entire reason why Bones is well.. bones.. is due to his flesh having flown off of his body, due to the contact it had with his [i]skeleton[/i]. The closer he is to something, the more powerful his ability to control the object with his mind, and the more powerful his telekinetic repulsion field. This unfortunately meant that the closest thing to his "self" which apparently is his "skeleton" was everything else attached to him. Most of his Telekinesis is based on throwing things away from him, but he is also able to pull things closer, and crush objects with his mind. Using such a power is extremely exhausting, depending on mass, quantity, how far something is moved, and for how long it is moved. He always has an "active" repulsive field that can be felt if his bones are touched- felt as in, will probably fling someone's hand away at best, and fling them across the room at worst. [u][b]Telepathic Reception?[/b][/u] Could be psychosis - could be something else - but he is capable of receiving memories that aren't his. They have absolutely no control over this and he rarely understands these are [i]not his memories to begin with[/i]. There's something to that third eye that will probably remain a mystery. Either way, sometimes this "reception" can make him a master chef, an incredible engineer, a wonderful musician, a really great mother- it's completely random what ability he may "receive" but it's never a secondary power and can often be a delusion entirely. No, really- he once was a High Wizard of the 9th Circle and cast "spells" and none of them did anything. How. Embarrassing. The receptions and memories happen at random and leave just as quickly as they came. It's still very unclear if this is real or not. [color=95E091]Weaknesses/Vulnerabilities:[/color] [u][b]Telekinetic Exhaustion[/b][/u] Using his ability for too long will result in the loss of his ability temporarily. His personal telekinetic field will remain active, but he can't manipulate things that aren't himself, when tired. It will also result in more rapid memory loss, especially if he's pushed beyond his limit by moving something HUGE or crushing something very tough or too many things. He will flat out forget what he was doing and why, in such a case, with more severe cases resulting in the loss of the entire day's memories in an instant. The "recharge" time is six hours but can be longer depending on what caused the exhaustion. This can, in extremely severe cases, result in his skeleton becoming... disassembled, partially. [i]How embarrassing[/i]. [u][b]Rapid Memory Decay[/b][/u] His memory is fourteen days long for minor events; one month for major events; and three months for people he's met. Without constant reminder he cannot remember things. This does not apply to physical tasks, abilities learned, or progress made toward learning things. Interestingly, he will often be able to recall information that he should never have in the first place- languages that have died or places that used to exist- with great detail. Could it be that his memories are replaced? Perhaps. [u][b]Spooky Scary AGONY[/b][/u] His entire body is a Phantom Pain. Sometimes the agony is so intense it is completely and utterly debilitating. This pain can happen at any time, can be his full body, or a limb, or multiple limbs at once. This pain is part of the cause for his moodiness, as who could possibly live with such chronic pains- without any means of relief- and not be kind of irritable? Then there's the matter of their appearance: it truly takes a special person to be comfortable around a walking skeleton. His social life has suffered as a result and he's rather bitter about it. The only people that remember his true name and identity won't tell him, but he's forgotten about that, because he's so lonely without friends or family, that all he wants is a HUG- but he can't have HUGS because he might send the person INTO ORBIT ACCIDENTALLY- [u][b]Can't Heal, Can't Swim, Limited Strength[/b][/u] If something actually ever manages to fracture or break his bones, there is no way he'll be able to heal. Of course, this means the bones will have to be reattached somehow- likely by metal- or scrapped altogether. He also can't swim anymore, due to the lack of all the physical surface area, and inability to build up the physical strength to swim. They posses the strength of an average adult without physical training. [u][b]Glowing Weak Point[/b][/u] Those glowing eyes of his give away the fact that the Radiant within Bones has coalesced within his skull. Destroying his skull, then scooping out the Radaint within, and destroying it thereafter, will absolutely kill him. And, of course, the option of not destroying the Radiant and keeping him simply removed from his body is a hell he doesn't want to think about... [color=95E091]Specialized Equipment:[/color] [u][b]Everything Breaks[/b][/u] So whatever he's given, it is generally not expected to return with him, but it is usually experimental. So far, the experimental "bodysuit" which boosts the range of his control has seen frequent use. [color=95E091]Biography:[/color] [hider=Once Upon A Time] There was a young woman that thought, "Why not go and defend this great city? After all, my dad did, and his dad did too!" And so she approached the Guardians. Or wait. Maybe that was someone else? What were we talking about again? Ah, yes, the sun rose over the cherry blossoms in bloom, they drifted on the wind, like a pink whirlwind and... Truth is, there is a file somewhere, within which is contained a mystery, that can properly describe the enigma that is Bones. It says- years ago when the bonding first happened- YEARS ago. That they simply disappeared out of existence immediately upon ingesting the radiant. Vanished. Poof! It says, they showed up again one day, years later, furious and quiet, trying desperately to communicate before, once again, disappearing before everyone's eyes. Eventually they came back, even more years later, and they were put under extensive observation. There's even a bit of the file that said they were hunted down, having "escaped", and were briefly considered a lost cause. And then there came sudden stability. He had to relearn coherent communication, convince others he could be trusted, and after no more incidents of suddenly vanishing, he got trained. And then forgot about most of this. There's a journal that someone keeps for Bones- because they can't touch it of course- but it is read to him whenever he forgets something crucial. Every single day, someone tells Bones that he is a Guardian now, and that he is going to help protect people. Every single day. He remembers his training well and believes, perhaps, that through such valorous deeds, he can get a friend to read his journal to him, instead of the nice doctor with the nice coat and the cold, cold eyes. Only a dream, though, because he's a Guardian now! That's good enough, right? Who... needs friends? OR HUGS!?[/hider] [color=95E091]Fun Facts:[/color] [i]Look at him.[/i] Any number of insane rumors about what he is, what he does, and where he came from could have been heard. Of course, the main one being, that they may as well be an abomination, and can't be trusted. ... and also that they can help anyone hide a body. Eugh, and he's so desperate to be liked, it's disgusting. He sometimes reaches out toward people like a dangerous zombie and it's strange. He's already out of his mind, why would anyone let him be a Guardian? Likely to turn traitor at any given moment, for sure! More of a liability than anything. [/hider]
