[OOC] Epic City: Starburst

[Old Amsterdam]

@Skinner35
Always interest. Feel free to fill out a CS and post it in this here OOC tab and Reg and I will look it over.

[Skinner35]

Name: Toby Skinner.

Epic Identity: Nuke.

Age: 21.

Faction: Epic

Ability: Able to control kinetic energy and siphon it in many ways. Mainly in extremely destructive punches and causing earthquakes. But he can also use it as a flashlight! When using his powers, his body hardens, reflecting most bullets and breaking most blades.

Weakness: Any kind of bodily paralyzing liquid or gas.

Personality: Not very open. He hates massive amounts of attention. He makes a lot of quick jokes, most are sarcasm and one liners. He can be serious when he needs to be, he is also somewhat smart.

Appearance: Black leather jacket, White t-shirt, Black Jeans, Boots. Only part that hides his identity is an impossibly durable hokey mask. He doesn't like flashy uniforms.

Background: He was born into a basic family. Never too special. He stayed mainly off the grid, just passing through, never causing too much commotion. But in high school, he met many problems, most coming from all of these new super powered jerks. Causing complete wrecks whenever they wanted. Then, began to notice some... interesting... changes. Whenever he felt threatened or in danger, his hands and eyes would adopt a faint green-yellow glow. Over time, this happened more often and people gave him a hard time because of it. One day, some a-holes were giving him a real run for his money, by jumping him, as they beat on him, he eventually punched one of them and it wasn't pretty. He went, literally, through a wall and pretty much disappeared, meaning he was unrecognizable. So, he had the bright idea to create his mask, which took time, heat, and effort. But eventually finished it, he was astonished with how strong it was. So, he began taking out criminals when he found them, the occasional mugging or store robbing. Never anything too big. The local store owners and occasional grandma started calling him "Nuke" due to his nuclear abilities. He quickly realized that the fame wasn't for him, but he wasn't afraid to go big if needed.

"Damn High, always stealing my fame. Clearly I need to assassinate someone next time."

Finch is definitely not annoyed right now :V

[Old Amsterdam]

@Skinner35
Alright, sorry for the late reply.

I'm going to be blunt, and I'm sorry for how it'll come out.

A big part of why it's taken so long is because Reg and I literally forgot your submission existed. As in it left very little impression in me, and less so in Reg.

A few notes:

• It's very bare, not a lot of detail. While we're not super picky, I'd definitely need more than what exists right now. On everything, really.
• We're not accepting straight out Epics at this time, but Freaks are viable. If you came up with a good Freak Mutation to add into this, it would help.
• I've got a hard rule against earthquakes abilities in PC powers. Magus, the elementals from Sedj, for example, can only minutely affect the Earth like that.
• Expand on the abilities. How he absorbs, how exactly can he release, this energy.
• Again, needs to be a Freak.

My apologies for downright vanishing. I seem to be doing that a lot lately, unfortunately. Between a week-long holiday I forgot to mention on this site and being informed I'll have to re-do my maths oral and written exam I honestly forgot this website existed. While I could not post I should at least have told people I would be absent, so... my apologies.

Now I feel stupid for writing 'my apologies' a whole bunch, but 'sorry' feels kinda stupid too.

In any case, I do hope this doesn't get me kicked out, but I can understand if it does. After all it's not my first time vanishing, and I'm not so orderly a person that I can promise not to do it again. Although with my exams finally over and done with, hopefully I can at least promise that it'll be less likely to occur.

[Regitnui]

@thewizardguy, no worries. You're just in time, I'm sure @Old Amsterdam wants to get you right back into the swing of things.

[ihinka]

I'm having the hardest time getting my next post going And I'm back at work come Monday... Argh!

[Old Amsterdam]

@ihinka
No rush luv. I've only really updated to keep things rolling and give people things to react to and all.

Also, @Flamelord, I should've tagged you in that update.

Needless to say, he's looking for Finch. Whether Finch finds him, or he finds Finch...I leave that up to you.

[Old Amsterdam]

I should also note I'll be rolling out a lot of personalized plot lines here soon.

At the moment we've got Finch, Ace @Floodtalon, Guilt @thewizardguy (for when you're able to be active again), Phantom @mercenary lord, and a few other possible subjects.

Most everyone else, don't feel left out... That just means you're getting wrapped into the Big Leagues. And doesn't mean we won't devise something a little now personal for you. ;D

[thewizardguy]

@Old Amsterdam
I'm 'active' again, just reading through what I missed and considering what to do. I was tempted to jump in on your last post, as this seems like just the kind of situation Guilt would jump into. But if you've got plans I'd hate to disrupt them.

[Old Amsterdam]

@thewizardguy
You could, it would just force my hands a little sooner than I had hoped.

I won't say don't, but it's your call.

[Regitnui]

@Dealdric, sorry that it took us a little while to comment, but here's our general remarks;

• It needs to be written up as a Freak. Bodily changes due to powers are the hallmark of a Freak.
• Clarification on the ability: "Can he control the material around the shard?"
• Weakness: Ruby is nice, but then we remove the fact that his body is like or made up of ruby: instead and insectoid form?
• Powers: Just bodily manipulation and telekinesis is fine.
• This reminds me personally of Deoxys, the Pokémon.
• A general all-round fleshing-out. More personality and power description mostly.

So right now, 6/10. We'd let you in just on concept, but let's refine it before we let him loose, yeah?

[Dealdric]

@Regitnui

The freak part is easy. He isn't made of ruby, but a titanium-strength bone like material. Okay for the powers, and I don't watch or play pokemon. The material around him is the only material he can manipulate, even if separated. I'll get to work on the edited version now and you should see before tonight or by tomorrow.

[Old Amsterdam]

Alright y'all, if a few people feel like crashing my party now... Feel free.

Don't expect it to be easy, though. ;D

@Dealdric
When you're done with your edits, drop us a mention here in the OOC so we can look it over.

[Regitnui]

@Dealdric, this is Deoxys. And your version, though I have no clue what's going on in that picture (harder to parse than some hentai...), is officially approved. Jump on in.

[FrankenDaughter]

Expect a Villain CS within the next couple of days. Decided I'm going to generate something from whole cloth for this one.

[thewizardguy]

@Old Amsterdam
Consider your party crashed.

[Dealdric]

@Regitnui

Thank you, and he looks very odd.

[ML]

full disclosure, definitely don't expect Phantom to actually tackle Finch, i was just on a roll

also,



I've been real busy with school and life and my own rp, but I'm still here if that's cool

[Old Amsterdam]

@Mercenary Lord
Always happy to have you.

Full disclosure, I'll allow up to two more people to jump into this fight if they want.

I'll be replying early tomorrow morning (say in about 10 hours) if I can't before I go to bed.
