[Guess Who]

(Finally came up with something I found acceptable to post. I hope you all think so as well. _{And sorry for the wait.})



Name: Damian Hill

X-Men Code Name: Shade

Gender: Male

Age: 19

Physical Description: 5’11, 160 Ibs, slightly thinner build than average, wears very casual clothing (T-shirt, jeans, etc.)

Mutation: Shadow Manipulation. Damian can control his shadow and shape it into anything he wants. Whatever he forms it into though has to be the same size as his shadow was before he began to manipulate it though. Also, the darker the shadow, the harder and more unbreakable it will become, so the brighter the light and more transparent the shadow is the more likely it will be for it to crumble with very little force.

Personality: It would be an understatement to say that Damian has little self-confidence. Unless told otherwise, he usually believes that he's messing up at whatever it is that he's doing, whether it be working on a simple class assignment, fighting an opponent in combat, or just simply having a normal conversation with another person. One thing that he has come to enjoy because of this constant self-doubt is video games as it's usually much more obvious to him if he's doing something wrong or not.

Background: If Damian had never acquired his powers he probably would have had a good life. Loving parents. Plenty of friends. That’s not what happened though. Instead he was born a mutant and was hated and feared by the few people that he interacted with. His parents would constantly hide him away from any visitors and barely let him leave the house. They told Damian it was because they feared for his safety, for what people might do to him if they found out. The truth was that they wanted to protect their reputation. They didn’t want people to know that their child was a ‘freak.’ When Damian was sent away to Ashford Institute for the Gifted, part of him was relieved to finally get away from his family, though he would never admit it.

Recap of your mutations awakening: When Damian was 9 years old, his parents had left him to play on his own on the first floor of the house while they relaxed upstairs. The young boy quickly grew bored on his own and tried to go to his parents and ask to play with them, but his parents had other plans. They had completely blocked the staircase and prevented Damian from leaving the ground floor. All the young child wanted was someone to play with… and he soon got that wish. Suddenly, his shadow seemingly began to move on its own, moving all around the room, picking up objects, and making quite a mess. For the next several hours, Damian practiced and experimented with his gift until he knocked over a large vase, bringing parents downstairs to discover what their son had discovered.

@Guess Who

Good character, you can post him in the character section but I have a question concerning his power.

Can he manifest his shadow into a three dimensional being, and use shadows like extensions of himself to pick things up and such? Can he "harden" his shadows into weapons? Finally, are his shadows "stuck" to objects, like actual shadows or can they move around freely?

@Shard

1. While the shadow is two dimensional, he could shape it to appear three dimensional. If he were to do that though, and someone were to then break open the outside of it, they'd see that the inside would appear hollow.

2. If he wanted to, yes. The more complicated the form though the harder it is to keep it in that form, so he mostly sticks to making his shadow become simple things like tendrils.

3. His shadow can move around freely, but he can't see what his shadow sees or anything. Basically, if it leaves his line of sight it becomes useless.

@Guess Who Alright, I understand. Thank you ^^. Character accepted.

@Guess Who Alright, I understand. Thank you ^^. Character accepted.

@Shard

Thank you. I've already moved it over to the Character Tab.

[PapaOso]

@Guess Who I agree, the character is definitely accepted :).

[knighthawk]

@Damo021 Miranda is gonna be "Weather Girl."

@Shard

And now to Our local meteorologist, Miranda for the weather.

Thanks Tom, well there is supposed to be a massive cold front coming down from the north reaching record lows and six inches of snow this week... But who has time for that? Instead it will be a softer rain lasting from 10 to 4 for the next week instead giving people plenty of time to get to and from work without interruption then again from midnight to four AM to round it off during non-peak hours...Tom?

..umm... and now to Judy for sports.

[Heathen]

And there goes our collab post. :D

[PapaOso]

I love you guys lol! This is one of the best groups I've ever had :D. I'm hoping to get a post up a little later this evening after things die down here at work, but if not I'm supposed to be off tomorrow xD.

[knighthawk]

' If anyone expects to see me in spandex, I want dinner first.' Miri mused to herself.

@Heathen

Now begins the line of people outside miranda's door with couscous and cosplay.

Still working on a colab with @Princeofhearts

[KaiserElectric]

The deed is done! Not as detailed as I would like, but I want to try fleshing that out with the RP. ^_^

Sabrina

Name: Sabrina De Luca
Nicknames/Aliases: Cappuccino, Fangs, Snark Queen
X-Men Code Name: Arachne
Gender: Female
Age: 16

Physical Description: Sabrina stands exactly six feet tall, with a curvy amazonian build to match it, and as I'm sure you've noticed at this point, she bears a striking resemblance to arachnids of the Theraphosidae family. In layman's terms, she's a mutant tarantula girl, complete with coffee-toned "fur", a pair of talons on each foot, fangs on either side of a mouth full of sharp teeth, and extra pairs of eyes and arms to boot. She likes to style the fur on her head so it resembles a short hairdo, and she tends to wear lighter casual clothes, favoring a simple pairing of loose jeans a tank top. She doesn't wear shoes since she has yet to find a pair that fit her, and she's more comfortable without them anyway.

Mutations: Sabrina's elaborate mutation has given her many of the attributes of a predatory arachnid. Her agility and reflexes are drastically heightened as a result, but she's no pushover when it comes to raw power either, and she has four muscular arms to prove her point for her. She also has a tough leathery exoskeleton hiding under that fur, and her bones are so sturdy that she can leave indents in steel with those impressive teeth of hers. It's also worth noting that she is able to cling to smooth surfaces with ease, and she can see in infared in addition to her normal vision. Those sharp fangs on the side of her face produce venom as well, but it is barely even debilitating, let alone lethal. At worst, you'll get a feeling comparable to your leg waking up after it falls asleep. Sabrina's somewhat bulky three-fingered hands make using devices like computers and phones tricky, however, and she's highly susceptible to bright flashes of light.

Personality: Despite her outlandish and monstrous appearance, you'd have trouble finding someone half as friendly or approachable as Sabrina De Luca. Carefree and laid-back, the self-proclaimed "Queen of Snark" always seems to respond to every crisis with a flippant remark or clever pun, and there's nothing she enjoys more then giving her friends a good ribbing every once in a while. She can sometimes be a little careless or overconfident as a result, but when things look bleak, you can always count on Sabrina to get you through with an endless barrage of flirtatious behavior and witty retorts. She's an idealist and an optimist to the core, and behind all the snark and silliness is someone who will stop at nothing to do what's right. Sabrina can speak English and Italian fluently, and understands a bit of French and Spanish as well from her childhood. She's also a carnivore due to her mutation, and can't really eat any plant material besides some grains and fruits without becoming violently sick.

Background: Sabrina was born in the town of Costa Grazie in southern Italy, a modest town whose beachfronts and natural beauty made it a bustling tourist destination for all classes of people. Her mother passed away when she was young, and her father was the local manager for a multi-national hotel chain with a location in the town. Sabrina was his only child, and she has fond memories of playing in the hotel lobby and meeting all sorts of interesting and friendly people from all over the world visiting her little town. She was happy, she was doing well in school, and she made friends easily with the other kids in her town. Life was simple, at least until she turned 11 and sprouted an extra pair of arms.

Sabrina's father was no fool, and he quickly realized that the extra arms marked his daughter as a mutant. He tried to keep the situation quiet for his daughter's sake, but in a small town like Costa Grazie, things didn't stay secret for long. Sabrina was eventually outed as a mutant, and while a few people avoided her afterwards, most of the people in town accepted her just as they always did. She managed to live a relatively normal life in spite of the extra arms for a few years and had even started doing odd jobs at the hotel her father ran before the inevitable happened.

A rumor involving a mutant suspected of a murder in Corsica had been spreading through the area, and by the time the sensationalized story had reached Costa Grazie, it was enough to push the people in the town that were scared of mutants over the edge. The details of the incident were covered up, but in the aftermath Sabrina's mutation had evolved to the point where it is today, and her father had been given a new position at a resort in Virginia, far away from her home town. Sabrina's father was still worried about what would happen if his daughter was discover here and was thinking of a place she could go to be safe and still make friends and interact with others like she used to, as the homeschooling and isolation wasn't exactly working out for the outgoing Sabrina. As luck would have it, he was thinking about this conundrum when one of his wealthy guests mentioned a mutant school being run by one of their associates, a man named Malcom Ashford. He quickly made contact with the school to set up Sabrina's tutelage, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Recap of your mutations awakening: The final progression of her mutation...isn't something Sabrina likes to discuss. Let's just say it involved a significant amount of trauma for now, and leave it at that. (I can PM this to the GM if they want to know ahead of time, though)

Theme song: Just for fun ;)
