Even God Cares Not (Interest Check)

[Adjectives]

To be honest, I could already think of a way for Jakob to get around some of those security measures.

Edit: So long as the guards were distracted.

[Xionist]

Would his Vectors(Whoops, anime reference), his tentacles be able to go through the walls and cut a wiring within them? Which also brings a question up. Can his tentacles pass through objects without harming them upon the will of the user?

[Adjectives]

No, they're like solid objects, they can't phase through anything. But razor sharp, so unless the plastic was particularly thick he could cut through it.

I don't know why, but I am in love with these security measures. They just make me feel ever so giddy.

I just...really want a sleepover to happen now. I mean, it'd be like a jail sleepover, but still.

How sharp is razor sharp, if I may ask? Can they cut through diamond? What exactly are their limitations?

Oh, please don't think I'm just being skeptical and trying to pick apart your character. I'm just really curious. :3

[Adjectives]

Razor sharp means as sharp as a razor. :P So they can't cut diamonds - unless you know something I don't?

- They're sharp enough to cut through flesh and strong enough to break through some bone too if hit correctly. They can extend and fully contract, but always grow from the chest. So it's much easier for him to defend or attack something in front of him.
- When used to shield against something, together they're only wide enough to protect about 90 degrees in one direction, or 45 degrees in two directions.
- They're strong enough to protect from weaker ranged weapons, but rifles, snipers, explosives and any well angled shots destroy or surpass his tentacles.
- They could be used to climb over obstacles like arms, but again only obstacles of a certain height, and doing so would leave him unable to shield himself.
- They're completely invisible. He can sense them like an amputee senses a phantom limb and knows where they are, although feels no sensations from them.

Will they regenerate back over time if destroyed? Also how do they effect your character's ability to wear clothing? Is he forced to have them slip through his sleeves all the time, or will he be walking around shirtless? Which would evidently cause him to feel more exposed and defenseless despite his ability to defend himself with his invisible weapons.

[cthulu]

I'd like to say I'm interested in this but if it is too full please let me know ^_^

[Ontos]

@Xionist: I read the SCP foundation quite often when I was bored. I took a few things out of their playbook.

Hello Hymusia. I think I can still accommodate you.

Yes, they're just telekinetic energy so they'd grow back. If feel like not having a t-shirt isn't the most important thing to Jakob right now. :P

Can all of you post 3-5 times a week?

[Adjectives]

Ja.

[Xionist]

This is affirmative, Ground Patrol.

@Ontos thanks, I think I remember rping with you before as well and quite enjoyed it. Yes I can and I will put up a CS as soon as possible.

Name: Michaelea 'Sandy' Reynolds.

Age: 17

Appearance: She is a thin slip of a girl, one couldn't imagine her standing up against a strong wind let alone to physical torture and brutal punishment. her pale skin is almost white in hue though it retains enough peach qualities to avoid her looking quite like a corpse. Her long hair, turned white from stress and despair, fell in feather light waves that needed constant brushing to avoid knotting. She had an innocent face with a pair of pale pink lips cracked from her incarceration and a faint pink hue to her cheeks which might hint at a near perpetual fever. It's her eyes that demand the most attention, devoid of pupil or iris they had a mirror like coating to them that seemed neither to hold colour or be colourless either, milky white but silver all at once and dependent on those who were looking. Though a more accurate and precise description is hard to come by, no one remembers.

She stands at five feet and four inches, with a petite and slender frame, thin arms clung to faintly defined musculature, long thin fingers which once played piano were raw with short clipped nails. She has a meager chest but befitting of her frame and modest nether the less for her size but hardly flattered by the hospital gown she was forced into which fell to the knees. Slender legs didn't seem much cut out for running, despite how taut and defined the calves appeared to be and dainty feet with clipped short toe nails were often left bare.

History: She honestly remembers very little of her time before the facility, flashes more than anything though her records would say this. She was born as Michaelea Reynolds, from birth she was told it was just a matter of time before she went blind and with surprising grace she accepted it. She always 'knew' there was something more waiting for her. Childhood was hard, except when she played her piano, children didn't quite know how to interact with her and she was no good at sports or traditional playground games. As she grew older she began to 'scare' people, she knew what they were thinking before they said it and she was teased for being a witch until she tried to take her own life at barely nine years old. Doctors were called in to see her and she learned that lying made them go away quicker than the truth did, she was fully blind by the age of eleven and was moved to private tutoring due to her inability to be in a class room environment. She got on well with her tutor and did her best to not reply to his thoughts and only his words which she recognized through a slight vibration through the wood in the table she sat at with him. Though she made a few mistakes along the way, she was sure of it, he never bought her up on it.

One day her parents and her were out at a party of one of her old school friends, one of the children, unaware of her condition, threw a ball at her which hit her right in the face and knocked her to the ground. To his credit he rushed over and beat the adults to her but it was then that all sorts of things started to go...wrong. She only remembers screaming and heat but the truth of the matter was much darker.

For a while, since the 'witch' incident as a child she had been watched and at the party her gift manifested for the first time, the boy, who was unfortunate enough to look into her eyes when her glasses fell away, bought to life a host of nightmarish creatures and the boy's screams began to scare the other children. These screams only intensified though as men all in black marched into the compound and rounded up the witnesses before dousing everything in fire. Her tutor, took charge of her capture himself and dragged her to facility 3.

Abilities: Psionics Her eyes and her voice are her weapons, though one could hardly call them 'weapons' in the traditional sense. With a glance of her mirror like gaze held even for a small handful of seconds she can glean from a target their surface thoughts, their biggest fear (at that time) and their greatest hope. Their dreams and their nightmares if you will. Then, with her voice she can amplify these fears and give them form, albeit briefly in the minds eye of the target. While no physical/real harm comes to the target the perceived harm in this induced dream like state can have adverse and sometimes lethal effects on the one experiencing them.*1 Likewise she can amplify their hopes and dreams giving them a sense of bliss and happiness that fades without her to stablise it and oft leaves a target reeling with the reality of the real world.*2

Skills: She can play the piano rather well and has a keen sense of hearing due to her blindness. She is pretty mean with a stick (cane) and can tell with some degree of accuracy how truthful/honest people are being as well as their emotions by their tone and their hands. Being small she can get into small spaces and is remarkably dexterous for a person who isn't built for sports.

Weaknesses: Is Blind and there fore reliant, to an extent, on someone helping her. While not physically mute the trauma she's been through has rendered her psychologically mute for the time being. Due to her -need- to depend on people at least a small part of the time she can be too quick to trust someone especially if they sound genuine/sincere.

Note: Her true ability has been seen only that once at the party. She can, or potentially could, manifest a person's nightmare into reality, forming it from shadows and ash and controlling it to act according to her 'wishes' as long as they don't over ride the basic premise of the fear/nightmare. These 'creatures' being made only of ash and shadows aren't easy to stop but do little physical damage on a one on one basis but can be a problem in a group they are as dangerous as the fear they are conjured from however which can either make them very dangerous or utterly ineffective; in the case of those with fears of butterflies and the like. With training she might be able to use this again one day but that day is far off and the time she did use it was put down to the accident before the event.

*1 For example if one were terrified of burning in a fire they would see the room surrounded in fire and their own clothes on fire, they would choke on the flames and feel the heat and potentially even 'suffocate' or 'burn to death'. However in reality there are no flames nor any fire. Anyone who tried to convince the target of such would be met with stiff refusal as the scenario's she 'dreams' up are intensely real, to the point one can even convince their own flesh its burned. The effect though only lasts for as long as the target is conscious, so knocking the target out or the target falling unconscious before 'dying' from their fear will leave them disorientated but free from her power. Likewise knocking her out will immediately cancel out such effects.

*2 A mans fondest hope is to have children with his wife, who, for some reason, can not conceive. He then gets a phone call telling him the impossible has happened and he ought to rush home now! He does so and finds his wife with a pregnancy test in one hand shouting 'its positive'. They rejoice, he celebrates, the baby is born and he holds its, he feels pure bliss. Though in the real world only a minute has passed and he has not left the room let alone got such a phone call. When the 'connection' to this world is broken (via either of the prior methods) it isn't unusual for the target to feel a severe and crushing depression.

Hey! I *know* you!

And yes, 3-5 times a week should be fine.

@Hymusia: I think mind-reading is always a bad skill to have in an RP. Sorry.

Name: Kimberly Alexandra Colt. Prefers to be referred to as "Kimber" however.

Age: 17
Nationality: American.
Gender: Female.

Appearance:

Appearance.

Skills:
As her name might imply, Kimber's father was something of a gun aficionado, and made sure to instill her with the same kind of respect and passion he held for firearms from a very early age. Growing up, she competed in several shooting competitions, and spent much of her free time in the wilderness hunting with her father. As a result, she is particularly comfortable handling handguns, pistols, rifles and shotguns, though she has a slight penchant for handguns. She is also a capable bow hunter and survivalist, and has a moderate amount of fencing experience. Her father also made sure to train her in the art of self defence, and she participated in a few kickboxing tournaments in the past, though she never won any medals. She is known among some of her sparring partners for being a particularly dirty fighter outside of the ring, and seems to incorporate many elements from various other martial arts into her combat style. She might have never had any lessons in formal "fancy pissy Chinese martial arts", as she would put it, but she knows how to hit and where to make it hurt. Although not particularly skilled from an academic point of view, she is a very quick thinker, and has a remarkably fast reaction time.

Personality Traits:

+ Aggressive.
+ Taciturn.
+ Headstrong.
+ Confrontational.
+ Loyal.
+ Slightly Reckless.

Myers-Briggs Personality Type: ISTJ

History: Kimber was born seventeen years ago in the state of Utah, to a twenty two year old mother and a twenty one year old father. Her parents had been high school sweethearts, and had decided to get married shortly after graduating. After a small but elegant ceremony, they left for a honeymoon in Hawaii. Nine months later, she was born. She will always remember fondly the first few years of her life. Though she was of a family of modest means, they were kind and loving people, and raised her with a strong sense of ethics and respect for human life. Her father would frequently take her camping out in the woods, and she took a natural liking to the outdoors and wilderness. When she was 8, she became a part of her school's soccer team, and took part in numerous extracurricular athletic activities. Though she wasn't particularly bad at school, she never really excelled at it either, and always felt confined whenever she was put in a classroom environment. When she was 9, her father, who was a sniper in the US army, was deployed to deal with a situation in a foreign country. It was roughly at the same time that her mother began to get sick. At first it was only coughing or chest pains, although about a year later it was found that she in fact had breast cancer. Although she was a strong woman, the chemotherapy took a quick toll on her, and by the time Kimber hit the age of twelve, she passed away. It wasn't long after that before her father was honorably discharged from the army, the war and loss of his wife having left him broken in more ways than one. Without a motherly influence, Kimber grew into even more of what could most accurately be described as a "tomboy", and formed a very strong bond with her father. The two would frequently go hunting together for long periods of time, and he began training her into the art of self defence. This eventually led her to her signing up for professional marksmanship tournaments and, a few years later, kickboxing competitions. She eventually matured into a strong, independent young woman with a loud mouth and a mildly asocial behaviour. She accidentally discovered her power shortly after she turned seventeen, during a rather unpleasant encounter with a man who had had a little too much to drink. Although he had been friendly at first, he wouldn't take no for an answer, and she began to struggle with him to let her go. She eventually threw a wild haymaker at him in hope of getting him to back away, and felt a strong, concussive force come out of her palm. When the ambulance found them, he was discovered to have 13 broken ribs, a dislocated shoulder, a heavy concussion and a broken arm, in addition to a dozen other less serious wounds. The doctors weren't quite sure what to make of it. According to the injuries, if they didn't know better, they would have guessed that he had been hit by an average sized truck going at moderate speed, but the confrontation had taken place in the middle of a narrow alley. The girl he had tried assaulting wasn't talking, and there were no other witnesses to what had happened. A few weeks later, men in suit showed up to take her somewhere. Her father went missing shortly afterwards.

Abilities: Kinetic manipulation. Using her abilities, Kimber is capable of absorbing large amounts of kinetic energy into her body, then release it later on. This ability only seems to stretch a centimeter or so away from her skin, and manifests itself as a dim orange glow around the affected areas, which grows brighter according to the amount of energy being transferred. The larger the area of contact, the easier it is for her to absorb. This basically means that she is effectively immune to most forms of blunt impacts, such as punches, baseball bats or falling, but is unprotected from gunshots, arrows, knives, needles or any other form of objects with a narrow edge. Essentially, she is able to fall from large distances unharmed or shrug off being propelled into a wall by a high speed truck. Furthermore, she is able to release the previously absorbed energy in extremely short bursts, granting her vast increases in strength and momentum. For example, she could send a quick burst of kinetic energy to allow her to leap remarkably high distances or, as she found out when discovering her powers, channel much more strength into a punch than she reasonably could have been able to.

There are however several considerable drawbacks to her ability. First of all, the amount of energy she can absorb at once is limited, meaning that she would not be able to survive a fall from a skyscraper or an impact with a train going at full speed. Although she might have marginally better chances of recovery than a normal person, it doesn't really factor in much at this scale. Secondly, as mentioned earlier, her power only works for extremely short bursts, including her kinetic dampening capabilities. Meaning that although she could get hit by a stopping truck and come out of it unharmed, she wouldn't stand much of a chance if said truck kept accelerating and she had her back to a wall or wasn't knocked out of the way by the hit. She is only protected from the initial impact, not continuous strain. Her capability enhancing abilities suffer from the same drawback, meaning her power wouldn't really help her win an arm wrestling match except for a few micro-seconds at the start. Lastly and most importantly, her ability requires a lot of energy to use, and a large part of the energy her powers dampen gets dissipated rather than absorbed. Only roughly 40 per cents of the energy from each impacts she takes actually gets stored within her body, the remainder being harmlessly redirected elsewhere. Although she will naturally generate energy on her own if given adequate supplies of food, this basically renders her unable to use the capability enhancing part of her powers for extended periods of time, unless she is being subjected to large amounts of blunt impacts. Using any aspect of her ability also puts a lot of stress on her body, leaving her sore and exhausted after extensive use. She is unable to call upon her abilities if drugged or otherwise pacified, and since her ability only work by enhancing her pre-existing momentum, sufficiently tight restraint should prevent her from moving relatively easily.

Oh, God, you included MBTI...can we please talk forever over the ramifications of her traditionalist function?

...and how much she'll hate Rainee, a textbook ENFP?

[Cryptiic]

XD I'd imagine interactions going something like "Grunt. Grunt. Low growl. Grunt.", from her hand of the conversation at least...

Edit: Should be interesting playing this sort of personality type, considering I typically tend to use characters with completely opposite mentalities...
