The Dude is in the house.

[An Outsider]

@BlackSam3091 is here!

_{Apply with Lisa!}

@Lord Wraith

It's so very, very tempting, but I'm really not sure if I have the time. Maybe if I shuffle some things and stop taking time out of my day to eat and wash, I might be able to apply. Either way, I'll definitely be lurking in the mean time.

@BlackSam3091

Well here's to hoping down the road you have time to bring back Lisa.

[FantasyChic]

Well since you want me so badly, I guess I'll join :)

[Lord Wraith]

Glad to see you here!

[FantasyChic]

@Lord Wraith Now comes the hard part of deciding what power set I want. I want to pick something I haven't done yet (which is a large list).

[Shin Ghost Note]

Like I said before, I'm going to join this if I got the time.
_{If I don't, I'm stealing all your members!}

| D.O.B.: |

03/17/1993

| AGE: |

23

| SEX: |

Trans-Male

| SEXUALITY: |

Pansexual

| APPEARANCE: |

At first glance when you look at Skylar, he doesn't seem that much of a threat seeing he always has a smile on his face; something that he didn't always have. He's not built by any means but he is starting to bulk up and wanting a more fit body. Currently he stands at 5'7 and weighs about 140 pounds. His height is something that he's most self conscious about and something he's frustrated that he can't really change even with testosterone. He's had top surgery done meaning his breast tissue was removed and he is in love with his flat chest. His hair is brunette with bits of blonde highlights in it that have slowly started to fade away. His hair is wavy, almost curly so he tends to keep it short on the sides with just a bit of scissor cut at the top to make it manageable and stylish. Something that's always brought up is the fact he has a boyish babyface look that makes him more cute than ruggedly handsome which he is fine with. The dimples he has when he smiles just complements his already delicate face. His eyes are brown, almost hazel which isn't anything too special. Overall, as a transgender male he has passing privilege and not one person to date has yet to clock him about being trans. His voice is deep and 'bro-ish' like a stereotypical white kid so people wouldn't think anything of him if he walked down the street. His style is your stereotypical casual punk wear which consists of many graphic art t-shirts, hoodies, tanks, and skinny jeans. He has medium sized gauges in his ears and doesn't plan on making them any bigger.

| ABILITIES/SKILLS: |

Glass Manipulation - Skylar has the ability to manipulate and control all things glass. At the moment he cannot create the actual glass, but only control glass already made. The extent of his manipulation is limited to shattering the glass and telekinetically maneuvering it any way he desires. With the glass he is able to weaponize shards as well as create constructs and shields limited to what he can mentally handle. At the moment he can only control about 50 pounds of glass before hurting himself. With shattering glass, he can also repair it to make it brand new. Eventually he will be able to affect the color of glass as well as the opacity of it. His powers are heavily tied to his emotions which cause anything glass near him to crack or shatter when he's upset.

Glass Mimicry - Skylar will soon have the ability to transform his body into pure glass that's as hard as diamonds. While in this state, he'll be able to take rigorous amounts of strain on his body such as car crashes, bullets, stabs, pressure, high altitude and will not be subject to pain. He will be near transparent like glass to the point he can barely be seen in a dim lit room. In his glass form, his strength and durability is enhanced exponentially allowing him to lift around 2 tons. The downside to this ability is that he will be unable to take extreme temperatures with the risk of shattering. Skylar is also self sustained while transformed, requiring no food, water or oxygen, however he can only stay in glass form for about ten minutes before having to revert back. When knocked unconscious in this form, he reverts back to his original state. He will be immune to telepathic powers in his glass form, but in turn, he is unable to use his own glass manipulation powers until he turns back. On the back of his head where the medulla oblongata is located is his weak spot when in this form. If shot at, he will immediately shatter, killing him instantly. (Will acquire in the distant future.)

| BACKSTORY: |

As cliche as it sounds that a trans person grew up in a highly religious family, that's exactly what happened. Of course Skylar didn't always know he was that way or went by that name. He was born Cynthia Fin in a small town in Utah with two Mormon parents. Growing up, he had mormon views force fed to him since birth and naturally he agreed with most of it until he was old enough to have his own opinions. After he hit puberty, that's when he started noticing that he was a bit different from everyone else. He wasn't comfortable in the body he was in and didn't only like boys like he was made to believe all his life. Naturally, he hid these feelings and forced them into the back of his head, fearing his family would either send him away to get cured or disown him altogether.

In middle school and high school, he continued to live as the perfect girl his parents expected him to be. He was pressured into joining beauty pageants as well as run for homecoming and prom queen. He did the best he could do in order to impress his mom and dad so they wouldn't think anything of him. His friends from school or anyone else for that matter never knew his internal struggles he faced everyday. Finally he decided to read up about his condition in the school library. That's when he learned what transgender and sexual fluidity meant. He was led to believe that there was nothing else but being straight and cisgender. He didn't like the fact he was kept in a rock most of his life.

The summer after he graduated high school was when he decided it was time to be himself. There were no words that could describe the feeling of his parents anger when he came home with all of his hair chopped off and wearing male clothing. He was brave enough to come out to his family as 'Skylar' and that his old self was dead. That didn't go too well with them. Naturally as he feared, he wasn't welcomed at their home anymore and as long as he lived his 'lifestyle', he wasn't allowed at home anymore. Keeping strong, Skylar decided to pack his things and move across the country to Larissa with the money he had in his savings for school. One would think he would be upset and sad that the life he had known all his life was gone. But in fact he was happy and relieved that he didn't have that burden of keeping this weight on his chest forever.

Once Skylar was situated in this new big city that he heard so many good things about, especially the heroes that resided there many years ago, he went to his first doctors visit about his GID. He was immediately put on testosterone so he could begin transitioning. Taking that first shot into his thigh was the most emotionally thing he had ever felt. After that mile stone was achieved, he enrolled into college and got a little side job working at the Nuclear Power Facility to pay his bills. Now five years later, Skylar has changed drastically both physically and mentally. He's currently working on his masters degree in Mental Health for LGBTQ individuals and is a trans activist in the city. His top surgery had been done when he was 20 and his gender dysphoria gone now that he didn't have to see his breasts every morning when he woke up. Everything seemed to be going okay for him until the explosion happened at his job. He was standing by a window when he was hit by the energy. The glass shattered and glass particles seemed to enter his skin as he was knocked out by the CME. Now these new changes are going to be something else Skylar will have to deal with and learn from.

| MOTIVATION/OBJECTIVE: |

Being able to live the life he wants without regrets is one thing that gets him motivated everyday. He loves to talk to other individuals like himself to help them go in the right path. There is nothing but good in his heart. People criticising him about what he is, is something that really gets under his skin. Bigotry and ignorance is a quick way to get a mouthful. Now with his new abilities, he is going to want to do all he can to learn and control them the best he can without hurting someone.

BLOOP

[1.06] This is a Character Driven RP, and as such you are encouraged and expected to take charge of your character's sub-plots and storylines. This is a favourite rule of mine, and that said, there will be a heavy emphasis on collaborative activities and team building as well. The GMs will be leading the RP in the traditional sense with a driving plot and will ensure the RP keeps moving however we do want to see you develop your characters and produce your own plots. However we don't want to see you lock your character out of interaction and focus solely on your character and their 'world'. No one enjoys watching you play with yourself, it's always better to let someone else join in on the fun.

[FantasyChic]

@Heathen Your penchant for posting cute, shirtless guys continues. I approve

[Nemaisare]

I need to do more research... Why did I pick a power that my brain keeps trying to explain, and that other people have explained using quantum theories? Why?

[FantasyChic]

@Lord Wraith I need to go to work but when I come home I'll brainstorm. Can I pester you in a PM and run some ideas by you? I'd like your feedback.

@FantasyChic

Feel free to PM me whenever you want!

[Hillan]

Or me.

Oh yeah, Co-GM's in the house. His own, to boot. I'll piece together my sheet tonight.

[FantasyChic]

@Hillan Oh I forgot about you....awkward...

All joking aside, I'll pester you both.

[Tojin]

Added on Esther's power. It's a bit of a doozy to read, and I'm not entirely sure if it's allowed, since it kinda skirts the edge of "no reality-warping", but hopefully it's not too potentially broken!

@Tojin

Eh I really don't like the idea of a 'luck' as a tangible force. Also the idea that she drains luck from those around her isn't really an asset for the team. It'd be humorous for a bit but it'd ultimately wear thin and/or get forgotten about. Now that said, don't fret right away, with some simple re-writes this power could be essentially left in tact but in an improved state.

As I don't like luck as a tangible force, I'd like to propose 'Probability Manipulation.' Now you're probably thinking, "But Wraith, that's the same thing!" Well actually it isn't! Probability is a set of pre-existing variables that surround every object and situation. When you sit on a chair the probability that it's going to collapse underneath you is very slim but it exists. If Esther was able to manipulate probability she'd be essentially able to subconsciously know and manipulate odds in her favour. She'd know where to strike in order to cause maximum damage, know what object to reach out for in order to hit a target. It'd be like a very strong sense of intuition which to most people would make her appear as lucky.

[FantasyChic]

@Lord Wraith Hmm, that sounds really familiar. I wonder where you know of that concept from...

@FantasyChic

I've used it long before I met you ;)

But it was nice to see someone else who used it that way!

[FantasyChic]

@Lord Wraith It's an interesting power to have. It's not so much telekinesis as it is just knowing where and when to be. Hopefully we continue X-men and I can play her out more because she barely got any use.

[Lord Wraith]

Hillan and I do have a plan for X-Men! And since I only have a couple classes left I will be pushing it forward.

I also have a lot of plans for this one! This one is particularly special to me though because of all the history Hillan and I have with writing the Mavericks over the last five years.
