Misfits: Reloaded

[Zombiedude101]

I've watched Misfits up to the beginming of Season 3 and I've enjoyed it so far, so I'll be writing up an app when I can. What powers are locked down?

@Zombiedude101

No one's claimed anything yet, but I'm going for illusion based powers.

@Harbinger

What time of year is this starting out? Trying to know if my character is in his senior year of High School or already graduated.

I'm thinking of animal empathy/communication...I know it's a bit cliched, but I've got some ideas for how to make it more innovative.

[Zombiedude101]

Are there any specific powers you'd prefer people to avoid aside from time travel?

[Rockette]

Work panned into a double shift, I'll have my character up in the morning.
Taking a concept of "snake skin" and working it into an interesting power.

Present day I guess.

@Zombiedude101

Not sure. Yes, but I don't have a list of them. You can always PM me/ask here if a power is appropriate and I'll respond.

Full Name

Prince Robert Allen

Age

18

Sex

Male

Sexuality

Heterosexual

Birthplace

London

Characteristics

Most of the time Prince is seen as aloof. He spaces out as if he's on drugs. He usually is, but sometimes he isn't. He tends to think that he's philosophical sometimes and does actually spill some intelligent thought. He's also rather flirtatious when he talks to women that he finds attractive. He typically goes for girls around his own age, but he has been known to mess with older women before, the oldest being in their forties and was a neighbor of his.

He also tends to grab life by the balls and does things so he doesn't end up regretting not doing it which could be a pretty good explanation as to why he's in Community Service right now.

He likes to party and he loves to do drugs. He's not a junkie though. He doesn't do anything like cocaine or meth or heroin or anything really hard like that. He sticks to cannabis and party drugs like ecstasy, molly, acid, and shrooms. He also prefers liquor over beer.

He loves music and in his spare, spare time writes his own.

Goals and aspirations

He doesn't have any real set of goals right now except for maybe becoming a big time dealer and getting rich. He tends to live in the now.

CV

He's a small time dealer who gets high off of his own supply. When not partying, selling, or actually doing drugs he also does underground fighting where he gets paid. He's never had an official job. He just graduated from College and plans to get into University. His grades aren't a problem though. It's his criminal activity.

Crime

He got caught selling Cannabis and since it was their first time catching him they gave him Community Service.

Background

Prince's mother was from the United States and his father was born and raised in England. His mother moved here to go to medical school and become a doctor. She's a Cardiac Surgeon and his father is a Neurosurgeon. He got his name because his mother loved the musician, Prince, and his father's name is Robert. Life was easy for him. He wasn't poor, but he wasn't rich. They were just part of the upper middle-class. He was raised in the church, but didn't believe much of it.

He went school like a normal kid, but he deviated from the path that his parents laid for him when he was twelve. He started hanging around a different crowd than the church kids. He smoked his first spliff at twelve and that was just the beginning. He didn't spend as much time at church and only pretended to go most of the time since his parents were mostly busy. He lost his virginity to a girl from church at fourteen. She was fifteen and he was her first as well. Prince's home was mostly empty so while his parents were at work he invited friends over to chill and party with him. He of course made sure that he kept the partying to his room and cleaned up whatever mess was made. He didn't want his fun to end because he was grounded.

By the time he was sixteen he started selling for a friend that was eighteen and heading for University. He wanted to keep his product in the schools for the younger teenagers. Prince found that he had a gift for the job and did more with it and found himself at many parties and raves selling drugs to those that wanted to escape from reality as much as he did if not less. By the time he was seventeen he started fighting in underground clubs and was pretty good at it. He had some bruises that he tried to hide from his parents, but when they were too bad he ended up being grounded. It wasn't really enforced since it couldn't be enforced when they weren't around.

He's now eighteen and out of school and he messed up big time.

Power

Illusion Manipulation: Prince has the power to create, shape, and manipulate illusions.

He'll start off not having much control over the power which could be dangerous for himself and the others around him.

Skills & Abilities

Prince is a skilled fighter who won most of his underground fights. He's also skilled at lying by creating his own reality of the situation. This isn't a literal thing or have anything to do with his powers. He just believes the lies that come out of his mouth. He's also skilled at playing the guitar.

[King Kindred]

Posted my character. I might add more depth to the illusion power description, but since this is the beginning it might be fine.

[Maxx]

I'm not sure about this...I enjoy metahuman roleplays but at the same time I've never even heard of the show Misfits so I don't know if I could catch up with the lore or stuff like that.

Edit: I might still make something for this, though.

Edit2: So I read a little Wikipedia. Do our character's powers need to reflect their personality?

[King Kindred]

@Maxx No real need to catch up on the lore of it all. I never watched the show before the interest thread was thrown up, but it seems like a pretty simple concept.

A group of teenagers doing community service because they're forced to and they gain powers in a freak storm.

They tend to gain powers based on their personality and their desires. One of the characters is overly sexual and so her power turns out to be that whenever she touches someone they get a super sexual desire for her. Another character wishes to take back the situation that ruined his life so he gets the power to reverse time.

I'm only up to episode four right now, but I could have been on season 2 or 3 already if I wanted to since there's only six episodes in the first season.

@King Kindred

Alright. Then yeah, I'll probably make something for this and see how it goes.

[Harbinger]

@Maxx

Doesn't have to be a perfect match as some powers can't really be compared to personalities (there are some in the show that do so, but not all), but if it's appropriate then by all means go ahead.

@He Who Walks Behind

I don't know if it's just me, but your picture doesn't seem to be working. At least not on my phone or laptop.

This might help you though. It's the same picture, but smaller without all of the extra stuff added to it.

Jasmine "Jas" Chang

Character name

Appearance

Jasmine is an average-sized girl with a small frame. 5’5” and 120 lbs soaking wet, she doesn’t look particularly athletic, and it is obvious that she’s the kind who would rather play video games than go to the gym. Jasmine’s skin is a light Asian tone. She has average curvature and shoulders which seem hunched together, making her look thinner. Her face is heart shaped, with a slight cleft chin and smooth features. Her nose is small and soft-looking, with smooth angles. Her lips are moderately full and are cherry blossom pink (obviously she wears lipstick). Her hair is dark brown and is cut short. Jasmine has almond-shaped eyes that are a very dark brown, almost black. Her ears are hidden behind her hair, generally. Jasmine’s face generally looks straight and slightly bored, as if reality isn’t quite sufficient for her. She has long fingernails which she paints the same pink as her lips, and tends to drum them on tables often. Jasmine wears makeup, though besides her lipstick tries to make it look like she’s not wearing any.
As far as fashion sense goes, Jasmine generally dresses to look professional. Slacks and blouses are the bread-and-butter of her wardrobe, and she usually wears a pair of black three-inch heels. When weather-appropriate, Jasmine wears a charcoal-grey wool coat that falls a little below her knees. She often has the collar on said coat popped. She wears a silver necklace, from which hangs a key and a flash drive, both of which are also silver. Besides this, Jasmine doesn’t wear any jewelry. Jasmine is a big-time caffeine addict, and so she almost always drinks coffee.

Jasmine Clarissa Chang

Age

Sex

Female

Sexuality

Birthplace

Characteristics

When people think of Jasmine Chang, their first thought is generally “smart”. And this is no lie - Jasmine Chang is incredibly intelligent. Intelligent enough to skip two grades of school and graduate high school at age fifteen, and intelligent enough to have scored a 2390 on the SAT. She spends a ton of her time surfing the web and reading, so much that her social life has floundered and she has few friends. She pretty much lacks any sort of social grace, and will often say offensive things completely off the cuff without realizing that they’re offensive. She’s one of those people who says the thing that is on everyone else’s mind, but that others are too afraid to say. She also really fails to grasp the concept of a joke.

Jasmine Chang is so smart, in fact, that she finds normal life to be kind of boring. Day after day of the same thing at the same time isn’t Jasmine’s thing, and it often gets her into trouble. She is incredibly nosy, often spying on people to learn something new just to keep her brain occupied. She is borderline annoying, either badgering people about everything they do in the most uncouth way possible or completely ignoring them with no middle ground. Conversations between Jasmine and anyone else are very rarely two-sided, especially when it is something scientific. Jasmine’s intelligence has made her arrogant to the point that she believes herself to pretty much be the sole scientific authority on everything. If someone says something which is incorrect, she will do whatever it takes to make sure that they know *just* how wrong they were. Those who challenge her on information should be prepared for one hell of a fight, and Jasmine’s pride causes her to never accept that she is wrong about something. She fantasizes often about what it would be like to be a detective like Sherlock Holmes (her personal idol) and when in a situation tries to think like him, throwing out emotion for hard logic and science.
Jasmine's flaw is often that she isn't as smart as she thinks she is. Jasmine is incredibly intelligent, but no one is Sherlock Holmes. She often gets in over her head in situations because she overestimates her own abilities, and so she gets into trouble fairly commonly.

Goals and aspirations

Jasmine's goal in life is pretty much to be Sherlock Holmes. She wants to be a detective, but one who can do whatever she wants to without having to listen to laws or abide by rules. She was attending University of Maryland in America, where she studied criminology and forensics, but she was kicked out for trespassing into the president's office.

CV

Job-wise, Jasmine isn't overly experienced, as most work situations where she has to interact with people annoy her. The only job she's had for more than three days is an internship at a PI's office. She was halfway through getting her criminology degree from University of Maryland when she was expelled, and since then she hasn't gone back to school.

Crime

Jasmine was arrested for trespassing as well as breaking and entering.

Background

Jasmine was born in London. Her father worked at the Chinese embassy and her mother was a lawyer. That said, she's never wanted much for money. The second of four children, Jasmine grew up often feeling like the middle child, kind of pushed aside so that her older brother could be praised and her little sisters could have their cheeks pulled. When very young, Jasmine was obviously very different from other kids. She was an introvert, often staying away from the other kids and playing by herself, and she rarely made friends. She showed many signs of autistic tendencies, but after tests from child psychologists showed that she did not have autism, her parents stopped really caring. They figured that the best thing to do would be to let Jasmine be whoever she wanted to be.

Being quite smart, Jasmine excelled in school, after she skipped third and fifth grade, and her parents sent her to a very expensive boarding school near Blackpool. She was easily the top of her class, but had a nose for trouble and spent time in detention frequently. She had only one or two friends while at school, and spent most of her time reading books and studying. She graduated high school at age fifteen. Jasmine came home for one summer and then left once more, travelling to America, where she studied criminology at University of Maryland, College Park, in hopes of becoming a detective. Halfway through her third year, she was expelled for trespassing in the President's office. She claimed that she was attempting to expose the president for an extramarital affair, but no one believed her. She was sent home, where her parents berated her for being so irresponsible.

The next year or so of Jasmine's life got more interesting. So bored she was with normal life that she began to get into trouble again, but in real life, you don't go to detention; you go to jail. Jasmine never tried anything big, but she had several write-ups for misconduct and trespassing. This culminated to two months ago, when Jasmine broke into her neighbor's house to find evidence that he was a terrorist working for ISIS (she found none). This time, she was given an offer by a judge; one week in prison or 60 hours of community service. Jail was boring, so she took community service.

Power

Jasmine as the ability of extrasensory perception, ESP. With this ability, Jasmine can randomly just...know things. Basically the way it works is like this. If Jasmine were to, say, enter a room where someone had been murdered, without looking at it she could, for example, know exactly what wounds the victim sustained and what the murder weapon was. It works especially well when there is an exact, quantitative thing which Jasmine wishes to learn, such as the combination of a lock or whether someone is lying. Jasmine is never guaranteed to learn exactly what she wants to know, however. While she can sense things supernaturally, she cannot always control what she senses, and often she almost comically learns things that she never wanted to know. Caffeine, as it stimulates the mind, makes Jasmine’s ESP stronger. Jasmine's ESP also gives her a degree of enhanced reflexes, as she can sense when something is about to happen before it happens. As she has no combat training whatsoever and is fairly weak, this doesn't make her a superninja or anything like that, and it's not strong enough for her to dodge bullets or something, but it makes her very hard to hit.

Skills & Abilities

Jasmine is good at breaking into places. She is naturally agile and is good at doing things such as picking locks or finding hiding places. Her highly-logical mind is also good at deducing information from evidence, and through watching and reading about detectives at work she has become fairly skilled at putting clues together to figure things out.

EDIT: Oh dangit shade. Our character powers ended up similar.
