Not even Indiana Jones will save you now.
Also, I think I forgot to mention one thing to you and everyone else. The fact that genetics are tied to superpowers is not public knowledge at the moment. Only some people that are a part of ATLAS and the government will have access to this information. I'll read the rest of your sheet now, but right now, the only problem I have is that he knows that genetics are tied to superpowers.

Oh, okay! I'll take that out then ^_^
Rereading the intro, that makes perfect sense. Sorry about that.

And part of me realized there was some information I probably forgot to include (i.e. that no one would know where Palladium Academy is or that it exists, save for people who attend the school or live on the island, but even then they would only know that it exists... and the fact that ATLAS has multiple operatives out there who either have superpowers or not who keep a look out for potential candidates for one of ATLAS' academies, or superpowered people who seek to use their powers for more selfish reasons.)
I'll get to adding that in. If your character has superpowers, their family would probably be approached by an agent if they were non-powered humans. If they were a part of a superpowered family, then they would probably receive a letter of invitation instead... I think I covered all my ground here.

Okay, so add an agent coming to tell the parents about the school. Anything else I need to change?

I understand this staff member may be a bit unconventional and maybe not what you have in mind, but I figured the fun will be worth the chance. Also seeing as there are two regenerative types, it makes sense for a bodily power teacher.

Name:
Margaret Anne Haefield
Age:
Died at the age of 32, appears 11 years of age, is actually 42
Gender:
Female
Basic Information
Appearance:
Margaret has reversed in her age since her death and now looks considerably younger than when she passed. In fact, she has regressed to the point where she looks like a pre-teen girl and if it wasn’t for the bleached, raggedy hair and pale, sickly skin one might confuse her for a girl. Her uniform just boils down to whatever she can find that fits. She barely reaches four foot and weighs about seventy pounds. Scarring tissue remains for around 24 hours around the areas where she morphs her body.
Personality:
Childish, Cunning, Deceptive, Intelligent, Eccentric, Diligent, Persistent, Unconventional
Backstory:
Margaret Haefield was one of the greatest minds in the modern era for neuropathic studies. It was her work that managed to propel modern medicine into a new era as some other leading experts called it and her work was used to fight and cure many neurological diseases. She was also a valued consultant on the study of the Superpowered Gene, despite appearing without the Superpowered Gene herself. However her passion was an obsession and it was noted that her labor intensive practices constantly put her health at risk as she often forewent food and sleep. The drive for her relentless study was her goal to resuscitate her husband, Emil, who may very well be in a coma for the rest of his life.
About two years ago, Margaret was working on a unique project that was supposed to stimulate the brain to increase human tissue regrowth, attempting to borrow a regeneration trait from a Superpowered donor. The end goal was to eventually be able to allow humans to cheat neuropathic death through medicine, but the project was doomed from the start. Various setbacks and conditions of red-tape had stagnated the project to the point where eventually Margaret was given a week to succeed or the whole thing would be canceled. Seeing as this project was also her vegetable of a husband’s last chance, she was dedicated to seeing her project through.
In the end the project was a failure but not due to the deadline. The project ended two days before then as Margaret had exposed herself to the mutagen and her body underwent violent stress before she eventually passed away. Many believed she accidentally made a mistake in her sleep deprivation and exposed herself but others support that she purposely exposed herself out of desperation. Whatever the case, she had been exposed and was pronounced dead at the scene. Her body hauled away and the whole project terminated. Her husband remained in a comatose state but on the official records, passed away and was incinerated.
Her death was officially ten years ago. As it turns out, Margaret did have the Superpower gene but due to the peculiar reason, it only manifested post-mortem. Margaret ended up coming back alive but at this point she was no longer the same old Margaret. After being dead for years, she reversed in age and her mental processes has decayed to odd, almost demented levels. Although the vessel has changed, Margaret is still underneath all that flesh and her good academic nature is preserved, though distorted.
When Margaret reemerged from her grave, she sought out old contacts and was eventually lead to a position at Palladium Academy. She went through exhaustive interviews and test to make sure she was considered 'safe' to be there and as an offer, she suggested that she teach at the Academy in her field of expertise. An agreement was struck but so long as Margaret agreed to careful restrictions.

Other Skills:
Masters in Neurology, highly acclaimed neurosurgeon
Specialization:
Anatomy & Physiological Powers Teacher
Power Set
Name:
Ghoulish Physique
Abilities:
Margaret's gene only activated after her death finding a trigger to manifest once her body officially shut down. The result was a complete physiological overhaul. Her body rapidly recovers wounds, disease, poison, and so forth. That’s not to say she isn’t affected by such things, quite the contrary, as Margaret feels every bit of it. Recovery for injuries can occur within minutes but can take up to 24 hours depending upon the amount and severity of injury sustained. During periods of recovery, Margaret is often noted as lethargic and tired as her regeneration saps her physical strength. Recovery for severe injuries can reduce Margaret to a sickly comatose state for a time period as her body works intensely to recover the damage done. It should also be noted that any foreign material, like shards of bullets, will have to be removed. Her regeneration has also had the uncanny effect of reversing her aging so she has reverted to appearing much younger than what she actually is.
Bodily Manipulation works in tandem with Margaret’s regeneration ability and her regeneration is crucial to her survival if she were to use her Bodily Manipulation power on herself. This power manifests itself as her being able to consciously control the formation of her own biological material. The result is that Margaret is capable of morphing her body into a weapon of bone and flesh. For example, she could manipulate the structure of her arm to form a crude blade made from her bones or she could sprout two bony fangs from her mouth. As you can imagine, her power is quite… repugnant to many.
There is an interesting interaction that happens between these of these powers. Namely, Margaret’s own conscious changes to her body will not be undone by her more unconscious regeneration, but rather, it will assist in the process greatly. As you can imagine, altering someone’s body in such a way would cause all sorts of problems like bleeding out, shock to the system and so on. However with Margaret’s regeneration, her body can readily adapt to those extreme changes without the negative impact. The only exception is that the process is still quite painful as nerves twist and turn along with the rest of her body. But the payoff from this power can be huge.
There are also some other creative strategies that Margaret utilizes. She learned that she could remove sections of her brain and plant that into a fresh human corpse in order to control the living dead. Essentially real zombies, right down to the slow shuffling feet and the need to eat living flesh. With bits of her mind implanted into those corpses, she can strategically use them for a variety of uses. A meatshield? A distraction? Or maybe a clumsy getaway driver? The possibilities are endless. Stopping them is just how you’d expect, blow out their brains.

Weaknesses:
The best strategies to take Margaret on aren’t too complex, albeit that incapacitating her is easier than killing her. She’ll still sustain damage and harm as severe wounds need time to heal. Aiming to inflict heavy damage upon Margaret could give one victory. Electricity still has an effect on Margaret and something as simple as a Taser can halt her dead in her tracks. Fire is another way to heavily impede and damage Margaret as the whole process of burning is quiet painful.

Profile : Student
Name:
Quentin "Q" Kane
Age:
17
Gender:
Male
Basic Information
Appearance:
Q's human disguise varies in appearance depending on the onlooker, but is still generally consistent enough for him to have a general description. Generally, he stands a bit over six feet tall, and has a wiry, muscular build. His features are somewhat heavy and brutish, giving him a visage resembling a bulldog. His eye and hair color vary, but they are usually some bright, outlandish color somewhere in the spectrum between blue, purple or pink. His hair is worn in an undercut that is sometimes styled into a tall, spiky mohawk, and he typically dresses in degraded and distressed leathers and denims, usually black and adorned with badges and slogans typical of the punk subculture, as well as various rings, chains and wristbands. When in company more likely to see though his disguise and notice such features as glowing, yellow eyes or a fanged maw, he will accessorize with such items as ornamental goggles or gas masks.
Personality:
Characterized by his school teachers as a disaffected, unmotivated youth, Q is far more intelligent than he lets on, but he has no desire to participate in modern society as he understands it. While he has his moments of genuine laziness, Q is mostly possessed by ennui and an intense distrust of authoritarian figures. His greatest desire is to be unrestrained by laws and societal norms, and left to his own hedonistic ends. Despite his practiced apathy, the idea of injustice perpetrated against marginalized groups and peoples fills him with indignant rage, which can become violent if provoked.
Backstory:
Quentin Kane was born to a single mother in Nottingham, United Kingdom seventeen years ago. His "father" is unknown, but it is suspected that he was not conceived so much as his embryo was artificially implanted into his mother. Quentin, who more frequently goes by the nickname of "Q," is not human, but is an as-of-yet unknown species of extraterrestrial. His race appears to be powerfully psychic, and passively broadcasts a hypnotic "cover" that disguises him as a human. Despite appearing to be some form of pinkish grub in his baby photos, to this day Q's mother has no indication that her son is not human, and becomes distressed and belligerent when the idea is suggested to her (likely a side-effect of long-term hypnosis).
Between his passive psychic disguise and human DNA absorbed from his mother in utero, by the time Q was of schooling age, he was able to successfully pass for a human in all respects, even when examined medically. Even so, Q was acutely aware that he was not like those around him, likely due to his developing psychic abilities. He withdrew socially, becoming something of an outcast among his peers, which was exacerbated by the relative poverty he and his mother lived in, as well as the somewhat unusual appearance given by his disguise. Q grew into niche interests and social groups, including the punk subculture, which he seems to have a great affinity for.
As Q grew older and his body began to develop more into its true, inhuman form, his behavior continued to deteriorate. Social withdrawal became delinquency as he engaged in various petty crimes, and frequent violent altercations with his classmates. It was this continuing degenerative behavior that spurred ATLAS (whom had been observing him in secrecy for some time) into action, requesting that he attend Palladium Academy out of the interest of his safety as well as that of others. While he initially chafed at the idea of attending a strict, privatized school, his mother encouraged him to attend due to his lack of university prospects otherwise.

Other Skills:
Q has a number of niche talents and hobbies, such as playing the bass guitar, DIY tailoring, and extensive knowledge of cultural topics (video games, music and comics in particular) from the mid-80s to late 90s. That aside, he can be surprisingly charismatic when in the company of other "misfits and outcasts," and is adept at thinking on his feet in stressful situations.
Power Set
Name:
Teenager From Mars
Abilities:
Q's superhuman abilities stem from his extraterrestrial physiology. While a combination of minor physiological malleability and a passive hypnotic aura quite successfully disguise him as a human, these disguises can be dispelled or seen though with certain abilities or equipment, and superhuman individuals can partially see though his disguise in quick glances. Q's "true form" is that of a six-limbed vaguely reptilian creature; a beast of slimy, purple flesh and an indigo, insectoid carapace covering his limbs and torso. His face is just human enough to be sinister, with a mouth filled with needle-like fangs, glowing yellow eyes, a lengthy prehensile tongue tipped by a secondary mouth/stinger, and a bulbous cranium, swollen with his psychically-potent brains. Q's many limbs are divided into his pair of heavy forelimbs, each tipped with three massive slicing claws, his slender and precise manipulators with more human-like five-fingered hands, and his primary legs, which end in raptor-like talons. His body is lithe and sinewy, with a row of pointed, threatening spines that run from the top of his skull, down his back, and to the end of his blade-tipped tail.
Whatever Q's race is, their biology is preternaturally powerful, and are seemingly adapted to be stealthy, stalking hunters. Easily strong enough to overpower an adult man, Q's claws and fangs are sharp enough to slice through sheet metal, and his carapace is hard enough to withstand light small-arms fire. His agility is what makes him far more frightening, as he can move faster than normal human eyes can track, and his reflexes are sharp enough to literally dodge bullets. Some of the more esoteric features of his biology include his ability to see in complete darkness, climb on walls and ceilings, the potent toxicity of his blood, and his powerful sedative venom that he can administer via his tongue-stinger.
More subtle are the psionic powers he can manifest. Aside from his passive hypnotic aura, Q can induce a hypnotic trance with prolonged eye contacts, a state that leaves one both heavily disoriented and vulnerable to suggestive manipulation. Q can communicate telepathically, but only one-way, as he can transmit his thoughts but cannot read minds in turn. With intense concentration and exertion of his alien grey-matter, he can fire off bursts of psychic energy that can induce intense migraines or mild edema. While he is incapable of "true" mind control, he can seize the minds of others in short bursts; just enough to force someone to flip a switch or fire a weapon. By concentration psychic pressure on a nearby space, Q can also induce localized telekinetic blasts with the equivalent explosive force of a fragmentation grenade. While he has yet to use such an ability out of a lack of a willing target, he can also infuse others with a small portion of his psionic vitality from beyond the stars. As a whole, however, his powers seem to have a diminished effect on superpowered individuals, likely due to interference from their own abilities or the sources of their unnatural power.

As a whole, however, his powers seem to have a diminished effect on superpowered individuals, likely due to interference from their own abilities or the sources of their unnatural power.
Weaknesses:
Despite his impressive size and the durability of his carapace, Q is not particularly physically durable compared to most other superhuman combatants. Defensively, his best options are to take his opponent by surprise, or dodge their attacks altogether. His endurance is also nothing to write home about, as he fights most efficiently in short bursts, when he can capitalize on the near-precognitive reflexes granted by his potent adrenal glands. This lack of endurance extends to his psychic abilities as well, as using his more advanced powers will rapidly leave him "burnt out" until he can rest and recover, making him mildly disoriented and unable to use any other advanced psionics.
Other:
While ATLAS has a number of extraterrestrial races on record, there are none they currently know of that resembles Q. After (begrudgingly) consenting to DNA testing, Q was shown to have an incredibly complex genetic structure, with over 300 discrete chromosomes and a sextuple-helix DNA structure. Preliminary analysis has revealed not only expected human DNA markers, but also those from a number of other cataloged species. Tentative conclusions drawn from this data suggest some manner of genetic manipulation or engineering at work.

@Pirouette Okay, I gave your sheet a thorough read (I'm a very fast reader), and there's a few things that come to mind. I'm gonna let Savo and Rune tackle some of the other things they brought up, but I have one big problem with her sheet:
To put it simply; it makes little sense for Margaret to be a teacher. Like, personally-wise, she is literally the last option I'd choose for a teaching role. She is described as demented, childish (but also intelligent, but idk), while also having a bloodlust. I just can't buy her as a teacher.
@Kiyran Galen is p good in my book... I just don't get the connection between pain manipulation and regeneration (The regeneration seems a little tacked on to me, but that's just my opinion).
@wxps350 Your characters are really gay accepted. They're pretty cool in my book.

Appearance:
Tsukina is short in height standing at five foot 2 she has soft features beyond the heavy calluses on her fingers. She is of slight build not really having any outstanding features in terms of body type. The two features of her that stick out the most is her pink hair and red eyes which no one is sure is natural or not cause she isnt telling. She often wears a lot of leather bands on her body. From a leather choker to a leather bands around her legs on her thighs and her ankles and calves. Beyond that attatched to her shit via a clip is a small set of leather bat wings and a long devil's tail also made of leather.
Personality:
Tsukina is a energetic person to say the least she has large dreams and chases them. Though with that said she is also easily angered and can react at times rather comically to sitautions . Beyond that she is eager to show her skills which has led to a few instances in which she ended up hurting herself due to it. Beyond that she is passionate about music no matter what kind music has the power to change the world and invade the soul. As she often says more often than not she sets out to prove it in one way or another.
Backstory:
Tsukina Was born and raised in Sapporo japan. With that said her parents was often away due to work for various reasons often leaving her alone in the house for while they were at work. TO try and keep herself entertained Tsukina turned to music singing along as a young child to the songs though more often than not failing in some parts due to the words in the lyrics. It was when she was 9 that Tsukina noticed something special about her singing. People no matter who as long as her voice was heard would stop entranaced by her singing. As she was singing one day while walking home from school a driver passing through heard her and was caught within her song and continued till he crashed into a wall. This event scared her beyond belief causing her to stop singing for a year afraid of what she may cause. However her love of music and coaching from her parents made her sing again though this time she oftne kept her singing to safer locations where incidents wouldn't happen.
It was when she turned 11 that Tsukina seriously started to pursue music as hobby and a potential career. She learned through self taught lessons and the occassional professional coaching to play the guitar. Beyond that she took dance lessons to compliment her singing and dancing with her voice she was sure she would be able to make it big. She would have to be careful though she did not want to be cause of more incidents though. All through this time she saved money to buy a guitar one that she can safely call her own. SHe refused help from her parents wanting to earn via her hard work and through her own sweat and tears. It was a bit after she finally managed to gain enough money to get her guitar the letter came in. Palladium academy a school that could teach her to use her abilities it was going to be yet another step in her path she decided as she showed her parents and they relucntantly agreed. Although for different reasons her parents saw it as a way for her to learn to control it. While she saw it as a way to get her voice heard by more people.

Abilities:
Siren's song is straight forward in appl;ication. As long as her voice is heard people will be mesmerized by it and unable to look away. Very similar to the siren of legend those who are captured by her song are unable to look away till she stops singing.
Weaknesses:
Tsukina's abilties lies within her voice as such dampening the sound of her voice cancels out the mesmerizing ability of her voice. Beyond that if they cant here her voice they can't be affected by its abilities
Other:
Tsukina despite her "rocker" look tends to talk like a pop idol group. Beyond taht she is never without a guitar pick taking to carry them in odd places as well from hidden inside her shoes to tucking it in to the collar of her shirts and such. Beyond that she has a strange fascination with wrestling moves though she would never admit this outloud

@Surtr
I see what you mean. It was meant to be his body's reaction to his ability, allowing him to heal people with somewhat severe injuries without completely incapacitating himself for long periods of time. It's more of a self-preservation thing than anything else. If need-be I can change it to where he only regenerates when healing wounds he got through Sacrifice, rather that all wounds he receives.

Mohang was born in a small town in Wisconsin, USA. He lived most of his life with luxarys of his family, going to expensive private schools and always having anything a kid would want. Although his Parents were strict with anything that pertained to his daily life. This of course was on purpose due this his Father preparing him for the day he would need to wield the Conduit and find the powers they wield. For profit or power, it isn't sure to Mohang, but just like his Great Grandfather he too wants to find the power of the conduit and wield the legendary power that he heard endless bedtime stories about from his Grandfather. Less than a year ago, a few calls were made and he quickly received his plane ticket to the Academy.

Other Skills:
Mohang considers himself to be an acrobat. From doing multiple flips off a diving bored or climbing the tallest tree, if it involves doing some kind of tricks off it, Mohang will be there trying to do them. Mohang is also an incredible artist, usually his favorite pass time when he's not jumping off buildings.
Power Set
Name:
Conduit Gloves--Deity: Asura
Abilities:
The Conduit Mohang possess is a pair of soft leather torn gloves. This conduit lets his body being consumed and replaced with the legendary Deity, Asura or at least that is the name given to the Beast. It is said the wielder that Dons the gloves can control the six armed beast. Each hand controlling and casting the Elements: Fire, Earth, Wind, Water, Darkness, and Light. That is what is told, but never achieved. The beast is almost a staggering Nine feet tall and has the strength of Ten men. While the user is still in control, the mind of Asura can communicate with them and easily set the user into a rage.
Weaknesses:
While Mohang has the ability to summon the spirit to control, it only has two arms instead of the fabled Six and can only use the Fire and Water Elements. Usually after the transformation, Mohang will be extremely acceptable to entering a stage of rage and after a few minutes he can be so fatigued he will collapse soon after reverting to his true form. The conduit also makes Mohang aggressive for a short period of time. He has noticed that it has gotten worse and worse with each use of the Conduit and with each use this unexplained anger last longer and longer.

I hate being the bearer of bad news, but the RP is currently full at the moment, for those who expressed interest in the Int. Check. We'll keep you on a list in case we need someone else for the RP, but at the moment we're full and can't accept the character.
Everyone else: I'm working on reviewing CS's. Boy, we got a lot in a short amount of time. I'll try to have my thoughts and stuff up soon, promise!~
Also, for anyone who might be confused at the full sign and the lack of characters to some degree, this is for people who expressed interest in the interest check. We have literally twenty-one members and three gms... so yeah, that's a whole lotta people.
So yeah, for those in the interest check who made it in before I closed it all, post your characters here! If you didn't express interest, I'll add you to a list of people who I will invite to the roleplay once it's open again. I also added slots, which means not everyone who displayed interest will be getting a spot. If you don't manage to make it, I'll put you onto the list of people to invite to the roleplay if it opens again.
That's all for now, ciao everyone! I've got posts, characters, and information to get down!

@Dead Cruiser Okay, I gave his sheet a read over, while his personality/history is... okay, I think he's overpowered. Like, he has waaaaaay too much in his powerset. On one hand, you give some pretty impressive physical abilities that would be strong on their own. Strong, sharp claws that can cut through metal, can move very fast and dodge bullets (which is preeeeeeetty bullshit), a poison, and a variety of other moves.
Then, you add on the mind powers. Which allow him to control people to a small (but very noticeable) extent, and induce hypnotism - but before I continue, let me go on about this real quick: powers like this will never end well. Because, one; nobody wants their character to be controlled, and two; everyone has a different interpretation of such abilities. You'll never be able to use it the way you envision without either powerplaying (or basically telling people how they should write their characters), or a shitstorm starting.
And I think it's dumb.
But, his mental powers have a lot tacked on when, once again, it feels more natural for him to have illusion powers? Maybe telepathy, too? He can fire psychic blasts, and create telekinetic explosions.
Like, it would be cool if he had one of theses (toned down, yeah), but both is unacceptable in my eyes. I'd honestly suggest cutting all of his physical abilities, and focus on his mental ones, because that's what feels natural for his character. And nerf his mental powers.

I figured that'd be the snag.
I don't think she's a bad character (well, I think she's a little edgy, but hey), I just don't think being a teacher would be natural for her. I see her as a student brought here to control her bloodlust or weird ghoul powers (which I think are cool, but some of the others have concerns).
@Surtr
I see what you mean. It was meant to be his body's reaction to his ability, allowing him to heal people with somewhat severe injuries without completely incapacitating himself for long periods of time. It's more of a self-preservation thing than anything else. If need-be I can change it to where he only regenerates when healing wounds he got through Sacrifice, rather that all wounds he receives.
Personally, you could just merge both abilities together, and that'd work better in my eyes. Up Sacrifice a bit so that he transfers wounds to himself, and then regenerates them. You can also keep the regeneration that way. He'd fill a better role power-wise in my opinion that way.

@Surtr Can we take the discussion to PMs? I don't want to clog the thread, and there are some plot considerations I'd like to discuss privately.

They were meant to be different facets of the same ability anyway, so that works fine ^_^

How's he look now?
Merged the 2 abilities together. I can increase the effectiveness of the regen part, but I thought that might be overpowered.

@wxps350
Alright, just my two cents
Báihuā and Samson seem good to go from what I see. I don't see any glaring issues at least, and the abilities seem fairly balanced. You have the official Rune Seal of Approval!~
Feel honored~
@Kiyran
After the changes made, I don't see anything wrong with Galen~
*Stamps seal of approval*
@Pirouette
Oh boy a character that's going to be Meredith's best friend~
Alright...so teacher. That's cool, and I expect them to be a biiit more powerful since well. @Surtr already mentioned her personality, so I'm not going to say anything about it.
What I take a bit of an issue with is her ability to create what is essentially zombies. All the other abilities are A-okay to me, but that seems a little...jarring to me. Her ability to basically be a zombie, take hits, and modify her body is already a fairly powerful ability in and of itself, I think. You're basically spawning tough-to-kill bullet sponges that in my opinion could classify as a somewhat powerful entity in its own right.
I don't mind the ability in and of itself, but teachers are just supposed to be above average in power. What exactly are the limitations on this ability of hers? A number amount she could control at a time? I think it might just be a bit much to start out with honestly, but if neither of the others have too much of a problem with it I'm not going to say too much else.
@Dead Cruiser
I have pretty much the same opinion as @Surtr on this matter, so I'm not going to re-hash what has already been said.
@Suku
Hmm...so, basically small scale hypnotism. Alright, I can dig that at least on the scale it is and how it's applied. Simple enough, so you get my seal of approval.
Phew, I foresee a somewhat long night ahead of me...hopefully I didn't mess anything up or miss anyone.
SO!
I think that's everyone...just wait for both of the others to give ya the go-ahead before posting in the CHAR tab.

Thanks ^_^ Do we need to be approved by all 3 GMs before moving to the characters page?
EDIT: Oops, didn't see that last part.
