[OOC] Verthaven: A Bloody Paradise [Completed]

[Punished GN]

It's like a fraternity. The initiation is simultaneous anal penetration by three of the senior staff members.

@Spoopy Scary

I never asked for this.

[Punished GN]

Alright, here is the second plot arc!

<Snipped quote>

... Well, the basic description of it.

@Mr Allen J

[Punished GN]

Ratchet must be a vampire if she needs to be invited in.

@ToadRopes

Well, Jen and Meifeng just walked in.

[Punished GN]

Anyways, I finally got around to updating the OP.

@Partisan & @Morden Man's characters have been moved to the inactive section.

I also added skateboarding as one of Meifeng's skills/hobbies. Speaking of which, if you guys see any random edits on my sheets, that means I'm editing an error, or removing a line that sounds derpy... that missed the twenty other times I went over it.

@Mr Allen J

Oh, the doors are open?

*facedesk*

@ToadRopes

If she knocks, there's a butler bro who will open it for her and let her in.

So any Twenty-One Pilots fans around these here parts?

PSSSSSYCHO GECKOOO

Basic Information

Name:

Santiago Woods

Nickname/Alias/Etc:

Psycho Gecko, Sticky Fingers

Gender:

male

Age:

25

Height:

5’1” (6’6” if you include the tail)

Weight:

128 lbs

Home District:

Union Point Hills

Appearance

Hair Color:

No hair

Eye Color:

He has orange eyes with black slitted pupils, like a reptile

Ethnicity:

½ Mexican, ½ ‘Murican

Physical Appearance:

Santiago looks, essentially, like a giant gecko. He’s five-foot-one, 140 lbs, with a generally humanoid body structure and a long tail. His tail is prehensile, and moves like a third arm (without fingers, of course). It is somewhat thick, and is the most muscular part of his body. He isn’t overly-developed in the musculature department, and looks somewhat flabby in the chest, though his arms and legs are more developed. His arms are slightly shorter than a normal human’s. He has four-fingered hands, and each hand has a large pad on it like a gecko’s. There is webbing between his fingers and toes. His skin is scaly and smooth, and is blue with orange spots, like a Tokay Gecko.
Santiago’s head is long and arrow-shaped. His neck arches up a bit and then slopes down, allowing his head to sit on it the same way as a human head does. It’s definitely reptilian in appearance, with two slits at the end of the snout for nostrils. His mouth is very large, and is lined with many small, needle-like teeth. Inside of his mouth is a very long tongue, longer than his entire body. This tongue is blue in color, and retracts into his mouth like a chameleon’s. The tongue is so long and heavy, however, that it causes a slur in his speech.

Attire:

It depends on what he’s doing. When Santiago is on the job, he wears nothing more than a pair of black boxers (with a hole cut for his tail) and a belt of tools (lock picks, a crowbar, a flashlight). He carries no gun, which is odd for a thief. He also wears a pair of tinted goggles which he had customized to fit his uniquely-shaped face. When not on the job, Santiago tries not to draw any attention to himself. He wears dark clothing and wraps his tail around his waist to try and make it look like it’s not there. This is rarely a success.

Personality

Innate & Outward Personality:

Personality-wise, Santiago is known to be rather...hyperactive. He is practically a ball of energy, and is constantly moving around. He talks a lot, and is fairly big-mouthed when he has the opportunity to be such. He is fairly annoying to most. He is also a kleptomaniac, explaining his job. For those who don’t know, Kleptomania is the urge to steal items for uses other than personal or financial gain. Though Santiago will occasionally pawn off a necklace or bracelet, he mainly steals for the adrenaline rush, and will occasionally return items which have deep sentimental value to their owners.
Despite his propensity for trouble, Santiago is fairly good-natured and prefers stealth over straight-up violence. Santiago sees stealing as a game, and he won’t kill anyone over it because of that. To him, that would be like killing someone because they beat you in Monopoly. He has a deep-seeded fear of the authorities. He’s clever, though, and as of this moment, the great Psycho Gecko has only been arrested once.

Hobbies/Interests:

Well stealing, firstly. Even when not in total jewel thief mode, Santiago occasionally cannot resist the urge to steal things all of the time (you can say he has “Sticky Fingers” punzpunzpunz). He himself doesn’t play sports, but he enjoys watching football and baseball. His favorite football team is the Cardinals and his favorite baseball team is the Angels. He is a major video game addict as well, and is a huge Metal Gear fan (thus the name Psycho Gecko).

Skills/Talents:

Santiago is a famous jewel thief known in the city as “Psycho Gecko”. Being a professional criminal and having grown up on the streets makes Santiago good at things such as lock-picking and hiding. He is very resourceful and, though dyslexic, is rather clever.

History/Bio:

Santiago was born in Arizona, and spent the first eight or so years of his life there. His father worked at a factory and his mother was a teacher. At first, he had a pretty good life, and his family had a decent amount of money, but his mother was laid off and his father was injured while at work one day, breaking his back. With the amount of money decreasing, tensions rose and Santiago’s parents split up. He and his mother moved to Los Angeles, where she got a job as a teacher once more. Santiago was never the best student and he had dyslexia, meaning that he had to receive special care in school. it didn’t help that this was around the time that Santiago began to steal things.

When Santiago turned twelve, he went through puberty. This is normal and expected, but not when puberty turns you into a lizard. At first, it was just enlarged reptilian eyes and being able to run up walls, but soon the scales formed and painful changes altered his body shape. He became a freak and an outcast, and was often beaten up at school (until he figured out how to use his super-strong tongue and tail). Not only that, but his kleptomania excelled at this point. He shoplifted fairly frequently and became quite good at stealing. One day, he got caught trying to steal a woman’s bracelet and was arrested. He was sentenced to six months in a juvenile detention center, and for the week or so that he was actually there, he was abused by guards and inmates alike. The rest of his sentence he spent at Academy 218 in Alaska (which for a lizard was awful). He attended the school for one year, and then came home.
For a while, Santiago tried to fight the urge to steal quite hard, but then he realized that he was so good at it. He ran away from home one night at age seventeen and came to Verthaven, where he began to make a living off of pickpocketing, but his horrible living conditions and skill convinced him to go big-time. Using his skills, he began stealing from homes and stores, taking jewelry and other expensive, shiny things. At the first jewelry store that he knocked off, he spraypainted “PSYCHO GECKO” across the wall. He became quite good at this up until he was arrested. He was robbing a jewelry store one night with a partner of his when a group of Verthaven police popped out of a closet and took Gecko down. The partner was an undercover cop. Santiago spent three years in prison on robbery charges (they couldn’t get him on armed robbery because he didn’t have a gun). After he got out, though, Santiago didn’t change one bit. He continued to steal, and is now renowned as one of the best thieves around.

Abilities

Power Class:

Super-system Animal

Power:

Santiago’s reptilian physiology gives him several advantages over your average human. Firstly, he has fingers like a gecko. Hairs on these pad-like fingers allow Santiago to take advantage of the weak van der waals force, allowing him to climb any flat surface and hang on effortlessly. His reptilian eyes give him full-color night vision, and he has a vomeronasal organ. This organ is found in snakes and some lizards, and gives them the ability to smell by flicking their tongue. This gives Santiago an extreme sense of smell. Eyelash pit viper pits also give him the ability to see in thermal vision, allowing Santiago to detect enemies through walls and such. If in doubt, Santiago can see you and you can’t see him. His eyes move independently of one-another like a chameleon, allowing him to watch his surroundings.
Furthermore, chromatophores in his skin allow Santiago to change colors like a chameleon. Santiago does this to show his mood, and can also change his color to help him blend in (such as turning black in the shadows). This does not give him active camouflage like Sam or Talia, but it does make him harder to see. Santiago also has a sticky tongue longer than his entire body, and can use said tongue to grasp things from a distance. Santiago isn’t overly strong (at least, not stronger than an average human), but his bite is strong enough to break bones and his tongue can lift objects that weigh up to fifty pounds.

Limits:

The van der waals force is strong enough to allow Santiago to climb walls, but it’s not exactly super glue. While he can climb well, Santiago cannot climb on moving or vibrating surfaces. If a surface shakes too much while he’s climbing it, he can easily fall off.

Weaknesses/Drawbacks:

Well firstly, heat. Santiago is cold-blooded, and so if he is placed in a cold area for too long, he becomes lethargic and can very easily freeze to death. In the same way, hot environments will quickly cook Santiago, and so he has to be very careful about ventilation lest he overheat. Secondly, while Santiago has excellent sight, he is also nocturnal. His eyes aren’t made to work properly in the daytime, and so he rarely does. Bright lights can easily blind Santiago, and can damage his vision permanently. Santiago’s tongue, though strong, is also very sensitive and if he’s put in too much pain, he instinctually retreats it. Punching Santiago in the tongue is akin to punching a man in the testicles.

Here's what I have so far for a character, he might join the fiends, or he might not. After Zi finish with him, I'll pop in another one who's definitely going to be a part of the fiends.

Sebastian Lyone, WIP

Basic Information

Name:

Sebastian Lyone

Nickname/Alias/Etc:

Gender:

Male

Age:

18

Height:

5ft'10in

Weight:

170

Home District:

Knightdale Rows

Appearance

Hair Color:

Ginger Red

Eye Color:

Bright Green

Ethnicity:

Caucasian, with bits of Irish and Scottish thrown in

Physical Appearance:

Sebastian has the looks and body of a model, though he's a bit on the skinny side. His ginger hair hangs down past his ears, straight and well groomed. His face us angular and sharp, with a light sprinkling of freckles trailing across the bridge of his nose and cheeks. His bright green eyes are flecked with bits of golden hazel, giving them a somewhat magical quality.

His body is very fit and toned from his years of martial arts training, with moderately defined musculature. His legs are a bit on the long side, which actually helps with his fighting style, but everything else is nice and proportional.

Attire:

Optional

Personality

Innate & Outward Personality:

First thing you should know about Sebastian, he is a psychopath. Not in the 'I'll kill you all' kind of way, but i the 'I'll kill you right now if you get in my way, and I wouldn't hesitate for a single instant.' He just finds it hard to truly care about anyone other than himself, though not for lack of trying. He's been in numerous relationships of various levels of seriousness, but has never been able to find someone that he can truly say he cares about. Even his own parents are merely just people to him, as he can't remember ever telling either of them 'I love you' and truly meant it.

To most people, however, he's a dashing socialite, if a bit of a manwhore. He's been known to play around and flirt with girls, whispering sweet nothings into their ear as he became whatever fantasy they desired. He could be demanding,submissive, lustful, prude, whatever he felt the girl in question wanted. When faced with those who see through his facades of love, he'll simply go back to his mask of calm sophistication and fake happiness.

Hobbies/Interests:

He dabbles in playing the Violin, the piano, and the
Pan Flute, but mainly focuses on playing Guitar in his off time, and is rather good at it. He's a bit of a sugar addict, finding nothing more enjoyable than eating a shit ton of sugary sweets whenever he can. He plays video games, but sticks mostly those based strategy and puzzles, like Civilization and Portal. He also takes part in meditation and Tai-chi.

Skills/Talents:

He has been trained in Caporea since he was a child, and is skilked enough so that he could probably handle himself in a fight against other skilled opponents,as he's lacking only in experience. He's also somewhat adept at shooting guns, as he was taken to the gun range a lot, but his aim still has room for improvement.

Abilities

Power Class:

Super-System: Biological

Power:

Haemokinesis: This ability allows him to control and manipulate blood, both his own, and that of others. He can twist and shape his blood into a vast variety of constructs, for both offensive and defensive tactics. These constructs can be hardened to be as strong as Steel and sharp as any blade, if not sharper at times. He can also pressurize it to give certain attacks extra-piercing power if need be, though it takes sometime to charge up those kind of attacks. He can even form a type of blood armor around himself, with thickened plates at his vital areas that can stop low cal. bullets in their tracks, though the jounts are a different story.

Another aspect of his ability is that he can manipukate his blood's acidity level, making it anywhere from mildly irritating ti the skin to being able to eat through metal. This takes some focus to do, however, and once he raises the acidity, he can't lower it, meaning that even he can be put into danger by it if he isn't careful. Lastly, he can manipulate the blood in his body to temporarily increase his strength, agility, and speed to semi-superhuman levels, but only in short bursts. If he tried to stay in this state for an extended period of time, he's likely to suffer from cardiac arrest and die.

Sebastian can also control blood other than his, but it has to have some of his own mixed in to work. When he has injected his blood into the bloodstream of another, he can't take full control of their body unless they're dead or unconscious, and for those who are alive and awake, he can at best, maje it harder for them to move, as it'll feel as if their entire body is resisting them. However, this is powered by his mental willpower, and thus, can be overcome if the person's strength surpasses his will. The stronger the foe, the more it drains him.

[swich01]

A good rule of thumb for powers is. If a country might put a bounty on my head for the power alone it may be way to good.

[swich01]

Oh and one other thing. ANYTHING that allows you to take even rudimentary control of another person will result in a massive dropping of the hammer by any organisation. Control powers are just too dangerous to let fall into misuse.

[Raijinslayer]

@swich01I assume this is directed at me, and while that phrase is a bit vague(pretty sure super religious countries might find all Meta's to be demons meant for slaughter) I see what you mean. Kinda just put what I could and didn't really put up a filter, that usually comes when I put up the limits. Wasn't able to do that because character limit in my device(annoying). I'll cool it down a tad when I get to really working on it, this is more a rough draft than anything else
