Woot! But, uh, why the lol? I must be missing something. o.o

EDIT:
About my post:
I get that I'm setting Skylar to have limited contact, but given some members of the cast, I would think seeing a guitar on his back could warrant at least one of them to approach him. I would imagine one of the Shin bros would purely for the fact that they'd probably spot another possible performer haha. Unless we gonna timeskip. If so, then maybe this entire section of this post is completely useless haha.

Closed.

@King Kindred
Awe, I am so sorry. If more people were interested, I'd open up more roles but yeah. Again, I wish to have you along so if someone drops or hasn't posted in awhile, I shall give you a buzz. Sound good?

If you're really looking for more people, perhaps run an interest check to get more people aboard.

Cerden Celebrindal

Cerden has a rather tall frame. His height borders almost seventy-seven inches, which averages around six feet and five inches. His weight matches his height perfectly and it comes at just over two-hundred-and-fifty pounds. Or if someone is going by the kilogram system, it’s just past one-hundred-and-ten kilograms. With that in mind, it should be no surprise that Cerden’s build is definitely muscular, but it’s nowhere near the level of being bulky. Some might even say that his build represents that of an top-notch athlete or something of the like.

Cerden’s non-build features are as to be expected. His skin tone is definitely human and it’s of a creamy mocha color. Of course, his age shows as his skin shows aging, but for his age, it seems to be on a rather attractive note. His eyes are piercing red, showing the feeling of seriousness and a huge undertone of relaxed. His hair is around shoulder-length, to which he keeps flowing straight. His hair is of silver and white shade. It’s hard to tell the difference between the two, though.

Cerden’s attire isn’t really anything to out of the ordinary. Actually, it’s quite simple when one really thinks about it. He wears a matching longcoat and pants along with boots and gloves all black and grey throughout. Each are tied down by several belt-like materials of dark brown color. Underneath it all, however, he has lines that seem random go all around his body, his lower half, upper half, face — everywhere has these lines connecting and making new lines.

Name: Cerden Celebrindal
Age: 45
Gender: Male

Personality:
While in the empire, Cerden was that kind of guy that always was about the mission and he didn't care what it took to get the job done, as long the mission was completed. In some aspects, Cerden was down-right brutal and above all else, he was completely loyal to the empire. He obeyed every order that The Emperor gave to him, even the ones that caused near genocide to some races. Cerden took it without questioning The Emperor's motives. He was a loyal general, and when something really horrific happened, Cerden's outlook on the empire began to dwindle. His loyalty became faltered and everything that made him who he was began to shift. Cerden questioned everything, but just the little stuff at first, but then that's when his humanity began to surface. He began to show compassion to those wronged and destroyed by the empire. Soon, Cerden began to be sympathetic to the so-called enemies of the empire.

When he defected from the Empire and betrayed his brother, Cerden began to adapt a certain front to himself that slowly went from being aware of the empire's evil ways to doing all that he could to stop them. Of course, his traits of being completely loyal to a cause somewhat dwindled. He now has become more relaxed and easy-going as compared to the past. Some might even say that Cerden has gone into such a way that he is quite lazy. Those people are right, though. He presents himself in a relaxed-like manner. Though, that's only cause the last ten years have taught him that life was short and that being super-serious all the time ruins one's complexion and outlook on life. Speaking of which, his has changed as he tries to enjoy himself more. Still, he will turn his fighting mode on should the situation call for it.

When one gets past that all, Cerden is driven by what he must fix. He betrayed his brother and he feels now that he must fix it. This has caused a certain edge to Cerden to be clouded underneath his relaxed and almost lazy-like mannerisms. Underneath that all, he is focused beyond belief, so don't let his near-unmotivated front confuse ya.

Faction:

A former general of The Empire, now a neutral party. He will sometimes take part in what the Unbound Hearts are doing, but for the most part, Cerden is a guy who is neutral and only after one thing: His brother, Nomis.

Weapon:

Brother's Requiem - For weapon image, see character appearance.
Once belonging to his father and forged with magic-infused titanium, Cerden's two weapons take the form of a normal-sized sword and a short sword/long dagger. Both are identical to each other in every way and they appear to be two halves of the same weapon. The obvious difference is that one is shorter than the other. Still, that doesn't disprove the fact that they seem like to be two halves of the same thing. Cerden carries — and uses both — with great pride. It's the one thing that he can smile happily about his memories of his late father.

Powers/Abilities:

Glass Manipulation

Much like his adopted brother, Nomis, who can manipulate a special kind of metal called Taint, Cerden can manipulate glass. Some call it just a sub-power of Sand Manipulation or Earth Manipulation. Those people are correct, but Cerden can bypass the traditional means of creating glass through hardening sand. He can create glass from his own magic. He can manipulate pre-existing glass and expand it to whatever he desires. Cerden has also been known to multiply the amount of glass that he can create or manipulate. He’s even shown to be able to create constructs of glass or surround it around his weapons or even his body, which he refers to as Glass Armor. Cerden can also move the glass with his mind and even shape it to which he can ride it as if like air or water. He can also breakdown glass into shards and guide them where he desires it to go.

Cerden’s skill with Glass has been acclaimed by not only his brother, but his associates that they dare not anger him cause the amount of usage and the potency of it is all tied to his emotional state. If in a good mood, his powers are more stable and he is in control of how much goes into one attack. However, if his mood is anything but that, then all hell breaks loose. His glass becomes rough-around-the-edges, which is not a good thing considering that rough glass cuts through solid materials like it’s butter and it doesn’t leave a clean aftermath either. Usually, shit will get real bloody real fast.

Due to an accident that happened when Cerden and Nomis were in their youth, the latter brother's Taint MEtal worked its way into the influence of Cerden's Glass, which started to slowly affect the maximum potency of his glass manipulation power. At least, the way he's able to use it. Though, Cerden is not aware of this fact. As far as Cerden knows, he doesn't have full-mastery of his power. Of course, that is not the case.

Expert Tactician and Strategist

Due to his long stint in The Empire, Cerden has shown that he is able to plan ahead of his opponents, which was one of the main reasons that The Empire first got him. Of course, it was cause of what he did with his brother, Nomis, but that’s irrelevant to this specific skill of his. He’s also been very aware of what his opponent would do before they would do it and be able to come up with complex plans that would more or less ensure his victory. He can also adapt to almost every situation in the event that the original plan he set in motion doesn’t go as had set it to be.

During his time with The Empire, it was being this good at coming up with plans that he was no doubt one of their top generals, just because he had such prowess of coming up with full-proof plans. It might even be why he has a big bounty on his head cause he was such a big asset to The Empire. While that’s true, anyone he aligns himself with knows his face and they know of his abilities in this area.

Near-Superhuman Condition

Some say that Cerden’s feats of physical prowess stems from his foster father experimenting on him or just a natural gift that he’s had since birth. Some say that he came into contact with supernatural forces somewhere down the road. Whatever it might be, it all comes to the very fact that Cerden’s physical prowess is unlike that of any normal human being or anything. His body has been forged to exceed human limits and as such, every ounce of strength, endurance, and other such things are at a level that is, quite literally, supernatural and unheard of. The range of his supernatural feats can go form being able to react faster to almost anything to being able to last longer in a fight than most. It even goes into how he fights with weapons, specifically bladed weapons. Just about everyone one can imagine that has been upgraded to the supernatural level, odds are it is.

Strong Alignment to Earth Magic

Possibly due to his Glass Manipulation power or just his overall connection to the earth, but Cerden has proven capable with Earth Magic and/or manipulating the earth with his magic. Though he seems to be not as well versed in this type as he is in Glass Manipulation, it’s still pretty high up there and he uses it quite often in battle.

Healing Magic

More of a necessity for Cerden. Since he has been on the run from The Empire, he had to learn how to heal his injuries that of which his supernatural body could not. As such, he took up healing magic. He isn’t able to heal wounds that would put him on death’s door, but he is able to use it to such a length that allows him to be out of harms way.

Bio:

Haunted by a dark past and grave mistakes he has made, Cerden tries as much as he can to fix them, which has sent him on a quest to undo said mistakes. To do that, he will have to find the one person he must fix even if it costs him his life.

Caleb Clacverk

-Height is 5'8/68 inches
-Weight is 167lbs/75.6kg
-Hair Color is dark brown
-Hair Style is short on sides; spiked on top
-eye color is green

Name: Caleb Clacverk
Age: 18
Gender: Male

Personality:
Originally, Caleb was being raised by both his uncle and father with ideals that were evil in the eyes of those against the empire, but they were noble ideals. He was showing promise to be an honorable member to the empire. However, when he was abandoned by his father, Caleb was left hurt and betrayed, much like how his uncle was feeling. It was being raised by the betrayal that his uncle felt that warped Caleb's young mind and he was then taught about the horrors of the real world and how nothing was fair. His uncle taught him the horrors of that in which abandonment does to a person and using the anger one felt from said abandonment to reach a level of solace. For Caleb, however, he retained a certain calmness to him, but he definitely harbors deep anger for his father and what he did to not only Caleb himself, but his uncle as well.

Caleb was trained by his uncle through rigorous regimens that were sometimes on the levels of heavy child abuse, but Caleb built a strong resistance to pain and he would use the physical pain and help himself build a more spiritual balance within himself. Now granted, he still has loads of anger and wants to kill his father, but in front of others, he appears to be minimally respectful and won't curse his way like he did from the ages of 11-13. In those years, he was a regular sailor and didn't spare anyone's feelings. However, the harshness that his uncle showed him proved to be a valuable asset to forging Caleb into the controlled, yet viciously angry teenager he is to this very day. Even in battle Caleb appears to have a calm mind, he enjoys the thrill of killing. Perhaps this is a trait that he shares with Nomis. Putting on a calm, relaxed front, but being a vicious psychopath underneath it all.

Faction: The Empire; Nephew of Nomis and The Empire's resident angry teenager
Weapon: All he needs is his body

Powers/Abilities:

Crimson Lotus

Caleb’s main fighting style, it is one that is based around fluid motion and bodily control combined with high-level surgical precision. It’s a style that puts an extensive focus upon both physical and spiritual balance. It’s a unique style of combat that uses erratic strikes, uninhibited, with an explosive fury and without any second thoughts on their actions. When Caleb uses the Crimson Lotus stance, he becomes an unpredictable and nearly unstoppable force of destruction and chaos.

Overview
The Crimson Lotus style is based off of several different types of martial arts. However, teaching of the Crimson Lotus focuses on the basic combat forms and techniques of these styles in order to give the practitioner a solid foundation and enable them to develop their own techniques and fighting style. As a result of practicing so many fighting styles and the hellish training underwent on a daily basis, the Crimson Lotus style can transform a weak person into a powerful and extremely versatile fighter, such was the case with Caleb. To excel, one must be relaxed and flow with ease from technique to technique, with swaying, drinking, and falling all used to throw off opponents. The movements in the style are fast, graceful, and agile, allowing the practitioner to dart around their opponents, landing powerful blows striking nerve endings, joints, and obviously bones. The style also uses various acrobatic maneuvers like flips, wall runs, knee slides, sliding tackles, rolls, and tumble.

Benefits of Physical Training
Those who train in the Crimson Lotus style undergo rigorous and grueling training. Because of this hellish training, the practitioner’s endurance grows to a considerably high level. Even when battered, bleeding, and barely conscious, the practitioner is able to unleash powerful techniques against enemies. The training constantly focuses on boosting the user’s speed, enough to the point that the user can close a considerably long gap between them and their opponent(s) within seconds.

The training also boosts the user’s strength to high levels. Their arm strength is great enough to allow them to lift and pull large amounts of weight and knock out foes with less than their skill in few strikes. Their leg strength is great enough to withstand tremendous amounts of impact, such that they are able to kick an opponent underwater without facing much resistance from said water. During the later stages of the training, the user’s leg strength and dexterity are pushed to higher levels, granting them greater agility and sense of balance. The user also develops high level acrobatic abilities, able to scale and glide down the side of a cliff with near-perfect control and minimal wasted movement. The unique physical conditioning regimen of the training rebuilds the user’s musculature, making their physique somewhat lean and well-defined.

Ties To Darkness

As per the path his heart chose from influence of who raised him, Caleb has an affilation to the Realm of Darkness. Furthermore, he shows moderate skill in manipulating darkness itself. He might not be able to shape it in ginormous levels, but he has shown that he can open portals of darkness to teleport him to where he wants to go, but this is not as means to travel between worlds or jumping worlds connected by the keyblade. He may use it to teleport himself around a world . He's also shown skill to project darkness in the form of beams and tendrils.

Earth Manipulation

Be it a genetic thing or whatever, Caleb has the ability to freely manipulate the earth either by means of magic or his own will. It's much like his father and uncle. Both hold abilities to manipulate earth-like substances, so it's only natural that he should hold a similar ability. Unlike his father, who can manipulate Glass and his uncle, who can manipulate a unique tainted metal, Caleb has control over pure earth. Meaning that any solid ground that is beneath him and contains that compounds of earth, Caleb can manipulate them freely.

Caleb has shown plenty of times to his uncle that he can create earthquakes of moderate levels and split it by simply kicking on it. Caleb has also shown skill of using the earth to ride like a slide of some sorts. Caleb has even found ways to cover himself in the earth, forming it into such hard textures that its dexterity is that of steel. Caleb can create constructs of earth like boulders and the like.

Flora Kairu-Celebrindal

Flora is a pretty hot gal. Her body is definitely fit. It’s kind of like a survival of the fittest just minus the “survival of the” part. Okay, seriously Flora is definitely fit and ready for pain. Her height is nothing higher than sixty five inches. By the looks of it, Flora puts on a decent weight for her height, wouldn’t ya agree? Yeah, I also agree. She weighs one hundred, and twenty-six pounds. Also by the looks of her body, Flora has a nice tan going for her if you count out that she is naturally that color. Yup, that’s what it is.

Her eyes look to be a magenta, but what shade it might be is unknown to even her. Her hair is kind of funky. It has a solid Dark Orchid color, but at the medium-end parts, there is a combination of pale brown, black, and white. She keeps her hair in a high ponytail. Flora’s attire seems fitting especially with the group she rolls with. Flora bares a three piece outfit. She wears a purple shirt that stops about three or five inches below her titties(which are lovely, btw~). Atop that comes a silver jacket of same length, and pants that have jean fabric, but look more like slacks, if anything else. She wears gauntlets that cover most of her lower-arm, and her boots are at mid-thigh. Finally, Flora wears violet goggles, though she usually keeps them on her head as an accessory

Name: Flora Kairu-Celebrindal
Age: 35
Gender: Female

Personality:
Flora is a simple woman. She is a rather rude and blunt woman with inappropriate ways of doing things. She will do what’s more offensive to someone and she will do it without any disregard to their feelings. If it involves insulting them, then she will do it. Flora takes pride in making someone feel bad about themselves. Though, most of the time she means good, she usually does wrong, but in the end it makes her feel good, so that’s all that matters, right?

Flora’s mannerisms are nothing on the polite side. As noted above, she’s rude, she’s blunt, and she’s very flirtatious. Of course, none of this is as bad as what she does to get attention. She will flat out show her tits to get her way. Usually it doesn’t end as bad as it sounds, but most of the time, it is. Flora’s also a bit impatient and if something doesn’t go her way, she will make it clear that she does not like that. Her mouth is on par to that of a sailor. So, you know there has to be some nasty language there. Just how bad is up to the imagination. In short, Flora’s a bitch, and that’s why her and Cerden got divorced(among other reasons).

Flora’s attitude within battles and first (and many) confrontations, Flora is, again, blunt as all hell. She, like noted above, does not like to hold anything back. Flora will say what’s on her mind, even if it’s insulting. She really couldn’t care what happens. Though, the latter is only for confrontations. Battle-wise, Flora reserves herself, but not by much. She does tend to talk a lot of smack. That is, yet again, bringing in her bluntness. It’s pretty safe to assume that Flora’s most dominant trait, personality-wise, is her bluntness. This could also imply that she has anger problems and a negative impulse-control. She can do both ranged and close-range fighting with her plants and her daggers.

Flora might not seem like it, but she does have one hobby that brings a balance to her entire personality. Despite what most would see, only Cerden knows that Flora has a soft spot for her plants. As a Florist by trade, Flora takes great care for her plants. Her love for plantlife is nowhere near her love for her ex-husband, but it’s pretty damn close. When she’s caring for her plants, Flora is in control of her anger. This is because one cannot be rough, impatient or whatever when caring for another life form. They have to be in control at all times. This has helped Flora to just get in grip with her anger, but when around other people, she just can’t control herself, despite countless drillings from the people she either has answered to or that she is very close to that do not like her attitude at most times.

Not all too surprising, Flora has an amazing intellect within her mind. Not only can this range from knowledge about poisons and how to break them down and come up with cures for them, Flora intelligence also extends to strategies and being able to break down complex blueprints and build and/or decipher what was hidden within them. She is also able to create strategies for various scenarios. Of course, most of them don't come out as perfect as she makes them out to be, but in the end of the day they do work out. She's also really knowledgeable about plants(no duh). Her ability to be able to tell what kind of a plant a certain one is and be able to tell whether it's poisonous, dangerous or whatever is just remarkable. Even though she is super smart, it will often get her into arguements with people just cause she has the often annoying tendency to be stubborn. in extreme cases of this, Flora will actually resort to physical harm to prove her point, which is almost every time someone questions a certain aspect of her plans.

Faction: Neutral, but was formally of the Empire.

Weapon:
Flora's weapons are two dagger, one with a thick-like blade and one more thin. Both are used in unison with her magic and plant manipulation. See appearance picture for reference.

Powers/Abilities:

Magical Capabilities:
While not as well-versed in the arts of magic as most would be, Flora has demonstrated that her magical prowess is definitely up there on at least the advanced levels. She is able to weave spells that have multiple effects. For example, her magical capabilities have been able to rid illusions and/or show the true form of something just by waving her hands around a specific area and allowing her power to work its magic. Now, she is also able to weave spells of the high tiers and layer them so that they hold multiple elements as well as multiple effects. However, the more that she does that, the more that she risks her magic power lowering due to exhaustion and over-casting of spells.

Plant Manipulation:
In Flora's youth and before she even knew that the empire even existed, she found herself being able to manipulate plant-life. Of course, this surprised the hell out of her. Here she was just a ten-year-old girl, still innocent as one could be, and she was able to accelerate the growth rate of plants. At first, it started out as something so little as being able to make a small plant grow to it's first, small form. She didn't know what to make of it and when she showed her parents, they didn't know what to make of it either. They were just as surprised as she was. Her parents, however, saw an opportunity for Flora. They sent her to a special facility off-planet that housed "special" kids who demonstrated such extraordinary talents. Of course, this was just a place where kids would get experimented on, but perhaps it was a good thing that Flora went there because, the more time she was experimented on the more her powers evolved.

Flora spent five years in that facility, and in just those five years, her powers grew to unforeseen heights. Not only was Flora able to create plants out of nowhere and manipulate preexisting ones, but she was able to draw from the chemicals within the plants and incorporate them into her own bloodstream, which not only gave her an exceptional physical prowess, which can also include her reflexes and countering. The healing properties of said chemicals also gave a sort of healing factor that allowed her body to create new cells and skin tissue as well as harden her skin whenever an injury shall arrive that's severe enough. Her powers further expanded when there was a certain accident with a certain two people who she has come to love which bonded her body with a rather overload of chemicals within several plants, which caused the weird coloring of her hair and how her body is the epitome of Floral Energy, which essentially made her own body as the soil to which plant-life could grow around or on. Due to this, it shouldn't be surprising that Flora has garnered herself an immunity to most poisons and other toxins.

Flora can also manipulate the earth as it is the core in which her plants take root from. It does take quite a bit, but once she is able to raise the earth up be it simple pebbles or cause the ground to shake, she is able to form the earth into shapes that it would otherwise wouldn't be in.Another side ability of this all is that of Photosynthesis, which for those who don't know what that is, it's the process in which plants absorb sunlight. For Flora, she uses the sunlight and converts into both her own energy to which she uses for her enhanced condition, but she also converts it to her abilities of manipulating plants, to which are enhanced greatly.

Flora's power is not without drawbacks, the main of which comes from the sun itself. Or rather, the radiation that comes from it. If Flora were to take in too much of the radiation, it could cause some serious defects in her power over plants and in extreme cases, it could even dumb it down to the most basic of levels. Fire and Ice also pose a threat to Flora since both elements are severely harmful to plants and since a good portion of her DNA is infused with chemicals from plants, she may be suspect to further damage than most. Lightning strikes could also pose a real danger to her as well.

Dominic

Upon first glance, Dominic would instantly strike people as an overly-tatted, steroid-abusing, dumbass-looking, jock. Just by looking at him, that is exactly what he would look like. His arms are almost as big and extend as far as his crimson hair does. He constantly wears his sunglasses not because he has some of deformity in his face or eyes area, but just for the simple fact that he thinks that they make him look really cool, which most would agree, but the only person that agrees is his best friend, Shinto. It should be assumed that Dominic’s physique is somewhere that lies between the range of bodybuilder and bulky, though most just stick with the latter. Where his weight falls into the greater-than-two-hundred-and-fifty-pounds area, his height’s definitely up there in the above-six-foot-five area, which should give him a nice vertical frame built with muscles.

Dominic’s attire really shows off his physique to the max. It’s a two-piece outfit that could sometimes appear to be a one-piece, but it definite isn’t. The upper-body portion is a sleeveless shirt that has a grey and crimson color to it. His pants are of the same colors and they could be classed as cargo pants as they are fitted in such a way. Dominic will even go on record to say that his pants are loose and comfortable should someone want to ask him. On the side of his pants(both legs) have two chains attached to his over-reaching belt. His shoes have the same colors that his other clothing has.

Name: Dominic
Nicknames: Grandmaster D. Crimson Flash
Age: 38
Gender: Male

Personality:
Dominic is a weird one, that’s for sure. Some call him wacky and stupid for the antics that he puts on, mainly putting on a persona of sorts known as “Grandmaster D”, which he pretends that he’s a rapper and someone from “the hood”. It is often the subject of ridicule to him from his friends and half-sister, Flora. Whether it’s from his horrible grammar when speaking or the whole persona itself, Flora doesn’t like it when he does that. Dominic is also one to “act” cool. Meaning that he will sometimes appear distant and want the suspense to build, even if it’s up to something that has nothing that required any sort of suspense or build-up.

Though he acts like he’s some moron with some kind of identity problem, Dominic actually knows exactly who he is and when the situation calls for it, he turns off the “Grandmaster D” side of him faster than a rushing athlete to turn off the light switch of a room. Adding to that, Dominic’s entire persona changes into a more serious version of himself. His tone will be totally different, mannerisms, and in this side of him, he totally embraces his physicality and the way it affects how he goes about things. When he is more serious like that, a certain intimidation factor that’s commonly seen in terrorist interrogations. As one could assume that this side of himself could be somewhat scary.

Faction: Totally Against The Empire
Weapon: If your character uses a weapon describe it here.
Powers/Abilities: Keep it reasonable eh?

Crimson Flash
Dominic’s Crimson Lightning ability is deeply rooted into something that happened when he was just a kid himself. When he, Flora, Cerden, Nomis, and Shinto all were going through their own experiences under the experimentation of Trident, Dominic’s powers manifested into a unique brand of Electricity Manipulation which generally dealt with lightning. He was able to form lightning both mentally and physically, as well as manipulate electromagnetic fields And this was all at a young age. Though, while impressive at his age then as it was, the one thing that drew in the scientists to him was the color of his powers. They had a very unique and equally as rare hue of crimson red. At times and if his powers were charged enough, there would be hints of blood red, which some of the scientists believed to be drawn from his own bloodstream.

As his age increased, so did the capabilities that Dominic was able to do with his powers. As he was able to further his usage, the more he realized he could do. Some of which included an ability known as Electrical Healing. This process was as it says. He was able to utilize his special ability in such a way that it increased the rate at which his cells would heal, thus giving him a form of accelerated healing. However, what Dominic soon realized was that the more he used this sub-ability, the more that the electricity would implement itself into his body, thus giving his blood more electrical properties. This meaning that Dominic soon found out that he was able to utilize electricity from within himself, which automatically gave himself such enhanced speed that behind him would leave a trail of a literal flash of crimson lightning.

While it may be true that Dominic's extremely skilled with the ability of Electricity Manipulation and what comes from it, there are also some negative effects that come from using it continuously. In regards to his electricity powers, Dominic's usage of it solely relies on his ability to remain consciously aware of his surroundings. So, like for example, if he were to lose focus for a certain amount of time or if there were to be an instant where a target gets out of range for him, he may be suspect to over-exhaustion. That meaning he could drain his energy supply rather quickly and be reduced to the bulky guy that he is.

When it comes to his Electrical Healing ability, a similar situation could be said. Due to the fact that he would have to have intense focus to heal his injuries, one slip up and he could very well further his injuries and no the other way around. Another setback from this could be that if there is an injury too severe or if he lacks the required reserves of his energy, the ability itself could be rendered nearly useless. Also, while healing via electricity, Dominic's superspeed is inactive/disabled/down to normal, just due to the fact that his focus is on one thing(healing) and he can't keep said focus on his speed as well. At least, while he's stationary.

Finally, Dominic's enhanced speed works in collaboration with his electricity manipulation. So, with that said, if he lacks enough stamina or if he's hurt to a severe degree, his speed itself could be severely downgraded to normal speed, which that in itself would put him at a great disadvantage in multiple scenarios.

Shinto

Name: Shinto Sogeki
Nickname: Shin; Silent Sniper
Age: 38
Gender: Male

Personality:
Shin is that one guy in the room who can go a whole day without saying a single word to anyone. He doesn’t even have to look in a person’s general direction to get whatever point he may or may not be trying to get across. However, on the chance that he does talk — which is a rarity — Shinto will express his demeanor in a serious, often threatening way. He does not mean to do that on purpose, though. It has always been something he did over the course of his life, even in his youth. The more he would come off that way, the more it seemed like he was doing it sub-consciously and not even knowing he was actually coming off as threatening. Truth is that Shin’s a nice guy, but his intimidating, silent nature covers that part of him.

He tries to keep his emotions to himself. As a sniper, he needs to keep a cool head all of the damn time and if he were to boast and roar like a certain plant-wielding female he knows, then he would never be able to take the shots that he is known for always getting. Now, that’s not to say that he doesn’t express emoiton, cause he does. He has a nasty habit of showing annoyance like it’s no one’s business. That’s because he gets annoyed way too often and it will show when someone first meets him. It can either be the little things that someone does or just a collected amount of things that some people do to annoy the crap out of him.

Appearance:
Just by looking at Shinto, one would get the idea that he really isn’t the talking type. From the way his posture is and right to the expressions on his lightly-tanned face is. Just everything about him speaks “the silent type”. His long, sandy brown hair adds to that. No one can read his eyes as he constantly keeps them on, even while indoors. Though, that isn’t without reason. His eyes are severely deformed and have an odd coloring of pink with a hint of black around that pink hue. He can see perfectly and all that, just isn’t pleasing to look at. His height is around average, so for those doubting that, well don’t. For specifics, his height is around five foot nine and his build presents itself in a slightly muscular manner and in numeric terms, around the two-hundred range.

Shin’s choice of attire is something to leave for curiosity. The only parts of his body shown are his fingertips and his head. The rest of his body is covered by his longsleave undershirt and his red vest he wears. He further adds his clothing by wear two armbands on his upper arms that have a black base with a green-like light in the center of it. His lower-body attire is simply black pants that are comforted to fit and an array of belts around them. His shoes are black as well and they have a similar green outline that matches the shade that his armbands have.

Faction: Totally against the Empire

Weapon:
Silent Destroyer:
Shinto's most valuable possession. See picture for reference.

Powers/Abilities:
Telekinesis:
Just like his best friend and all those who were experimented on by the scientists of Trident, Shinto’s powers manifested at a very young age. His powers, while more grounded as compared to his peers, were just as equally as dangerous. His abilities came in the form of Telekinesis, which to most is known as Psychokinesis. This special kind of ability allows the user to mentally manipulate matter. This of course garnered some unwanted attention on his part, but the end result would be that his ability to control things with his mind expanded far beyond what anybody thought was possible. Even at the young age he was, it was apparent that he was highly skilled as by age nine, he was able to bind objects and keep them grounded. He also showed the ability to make thinks float as well as augment his own physical strength that most just called Psionic Strength. Also at this same age, Shinto had showed that he was able to both pull and push objects.

As the years went on and as the experiments went on, Shinto’s ability far exceeded what the scientists could even control. His mental prowess came be so great that he broke out. When the scientists denied him passage as he was trying to escape, he would blast them away with pure telekinetic force. When the numbers were against him, he created constructs of pure telekinetic energy, which also aided to his escape.

When he was able to escape, Shinto left that life behind and this was when he was only sixteen years old. In those years, he developed his powers gradually, but he chose not to increase them to masterful levels just cause he knew he would hurt people if he did and it wouldn’t be of his own choosing. Shinto also knew of his limits and knew if he pushed himself too much, he would wear himself out and as a result, may end up dying from it. Though, he does know that from his constant using of his telekinetic powers that his body somehow enhanced itself to a point where how his body reacted, how much force he was able to put into something, and just about every little thing that he did before was enhanced greatly and was far beyond than that of simple human levels, this also included his ability to take in knowledge and from that he was able to learn a few styles of martial arts.

Flawless Accuracy
The area of Shinto’s brain that is the center for aim, accuracy, and precision is drastically increased. Shinto would only need to aim for an instant before he can precisely hit a target with a weapon or a blow. He can even be one to judge extremely long distances amazingly and accurately so that he can gauge the strength needed to launch a projectile so that it hits his target(s) perfectly. Shinto has also been know to be resistant to perception-distorting abilities. If there is a target that is moving, Shinto can calculate the best method to hit the target, even if there are visual obstacles like smoke and vegitation. He will be able to hit the target regardless of all of that.

Shinto is also able to compensate for environmental factors that would normally throw off his aim like wind, air resistance, gravity, and radiant heat. He does this by aiming slightly to the side and above his target, so that upon launching his chosen projectile, the environmental factors he has calculated and compensated for will direct back to its intended target.

@Raxacoricofallapatorius
Your characters are already doing enough early on. I'd like to see the other characters do something and be much more involved, as well.

@Altered Tundra
How's the male character coming along?

EDIT: Also, I shall get another post up soon. :3

@HushedWhispers

He's going to be finished tonight or tomorrow(at latest). It all depends on how much I feel inspired in the next hour or so. :)

Skylar Collins III

"People often have told me that I'm too quiet, too reserved. That perhaps I should speak more and don't slouch, but what they don't realize is that it's hard for me. Everyone is so intimidating. They have such vibrant personalities and then there's me."

---

In Depth Appearance;

As slim as he is thin, what Skylar brings to the table is exactly what one would expect from a singer-songwriter such as him. He has fair skin and no real hideous facial features, so that’s a plus. His shoulder-length, medium brown hair paired with his average height(5'8) and weight(138lbs) does not invoke the feeling of impressiveness to those who look at him. In fact, one could say that Skylar is as average as any fresh-out-of High School student. If it wasn’t for the fact that he has alluring, and sensitivity-inducing green eyes that often win him the affections of the girls, there would be nothing remarkable about him, or at the very least, anything that separated him from anyone else in the crowd. As far as facial hair is concerned, he has a bit of a stubble.

Clothing Style;

Skylar‘s attire style reflects his own self. As such, he has a few pairs of blue jeans, several comfortable T-shirts of various themes(most commonly of calming designs), a few sweater jackets with a zipper and hood. He has a few pairs of shoes, but he prefers to wear the pair that are of Vans. They have a white-on-black color scheme. It may seem odd for a guy such as himself preferring that kind of footwear, but he has always found that make of shoes to be most comforting.

►Succumbing to the fate of the Struggling Artist. In the sense that he fears he will never succeed at what he loves the most until he is long gone from this world.

Personality;

When it all comes down to it, Skylar is the embodiment of an artist. He is very idealistic . His family(not his father obviously) and friends come to him for his optimism. While he doesn‘t see himself as being that way, he doesn‘t want to disappoint them, so he puts on a façade of a certain kind of optimism that fools them, but the person he ends up on fooling is himself. Being such a optimist to his friends and some members of his family for so long has imprinted this image of himself within his own mind, often confusing himself of who the real Skylar is.

Skylar, like most who look the way that he does, is very shy. Though he tries not to be like those internet introverts who can’t hold a conversation with the human race, sometimes he can‘t help it. He‘s super shy and takes a while to warm up to people. This is evident in his self-conscious side as well as being so reserved that people often get the idea that he can’t talk, furthering their impression that he might be a mute of some kind. It’s not that he doesn’t know how to talk to people, but more like something in his brain turns off when he is approached by people, especially at social gatherings. It’s like he can’t say anything instantly. Instead, he takes a minute or so to get out even the simplest of words like “hi” or “hey”. He’s trying to grow out of it, so perhaps the journey of university would help in that area.

To himself, his music and possible career as a singer-songwriter is the most important to him. To hell with science. Being a musician is his true calling. As a result, he exhibit’s a very creative and passionate side that can only be described as the true side of Skylar. This means that, whatever he is working on be it his songs/poetry or writing stories in his free time, Skylar puts his entire heart and soul into it. As a result, he leaves all that he has on the word document/paper that has his work on it. When he gets so into his work and forgets about everything else but his project, Skylar often forgets to do the most simple of tasks such as bathing, eating, and drinking fluids. This has been pointed out to him on more than one occasion and yet he still does it. It‘s nothing that Skylar can help, though. It‘s like it‘s imprinted in his DNA. It‘s like the artist in him refuses to take breaks from whatever project he‘s doing and put all that he has and then some into it until it is either finished or the his body physically gives up and collapses.

---

Income;

Due to the fact that he is a struggling musician to get by, Skylar’s income is in the lower to mid thousands on a yearly basis. Usually, he has a $9000 yearly income due to the fact that he has three separate EPs that he sells both locally to those that will have him and on Bandcamp. Each of them are $10 each. Usually -- though not guaranteed -- he will get about forty copies of each sold a month, which brings it to 120 copies of his work sold a month. Each of them go for ten bucks, which brings his monthly-income to around $360, more or less. Some months it's higher than that and some it's lower. On average, however, he will bring 350-600 to his pocket a month. Yearly, that could range anywhere from $4,200-$7,200, though the latter amount is only when business is good.

Finances;

Middle-Low Class. With his parents' on-and-off again jobs, the income wasn't always stable, but at the very least, his family had a good life. Nothing too fancy, but not dirt-poor, either.

Spending Habits;

Budget Spender. Due to the fact that Skylar's wallet solely depends on whether or not people buy his music, it can fluctuate greatly. Sometimes he doesn't pull enough to eat. Sometimes he pulls in so much that he actually has enough to do a little splurging. It all really just depends if he can make bank on his music when selling it on Bandcamp and to the students at the university.

Transportation;

Skylar walks or takes public transportation

House;

The Dorms when the school year is in session or not on break. When it is on break, Skylar lives with his older sister in her apt.

Place of Origin;

Born in Vancouver, Canada and lived there for the first five years of his life. Moved to Seattle, Washington and lived there until he was accepted to HU.

Background;

Born to Skylark Collins Jr, a High School Psychics Teacher rand Cassandra Nunez, a on-and-off again Night Nurse Skylar The Third is the second youngest of four children. His younger sister, Mary-Theresa Nunez will be fourteen in December of the year 2015. He has one older brother, Michael Dominic Collins who just turned twenty-five in April and he has an older sister, Lillian “Lily” Nunez. She is twenty-three and turned that age on Valentine’s Day in 2015.

Growing up with the values of the Roman Catholic Church, Skylar often found himself being the black sheep of his family. He never related to the beliefs nor did he really understand why his father cared so deeply that they believe the same way the church taught. Skylark would even go as far as to force the teachings on all of his siblings, Skylar included. He would do so by forcing all of them attend Sunday School until they reached their early teens. Even though he was forced all of that crap into his brain, it never stuck. It was as if it went in one end and out the other. Skylar’s main contribution to the Church was the choir. Ever since the age of nine, music was his love, being what separated him from his siblings and truly brought him some peace that he never got from his home life.

Though his father didn’t like it -- mainly because he was against the arts -- Skylark didn’t deny that his son had talents, but like all strict fathers have been according to the history books, it had to come to an end. Indeed, Skylark laid out an proposition: Put music aside for four years. In that time, he would focus on his studies. If he brought home nothing but straight-A’s in every quarter and semester and got a scholarship to any university Skylar wished, he would be able to pursue music so long as Skylar minored in at least one science when he got to that point.

Even though Skylar didn’t like this idea, he didn’t have much choice in the matter. He feared what his father would do to him if he said no to it. So, he said yes, and for the next four years that was his quiet, uneventful high school life, he delivered on his half of the deal. Skylar brought home nothing but straight A’s, even getting a few A+’s here and there, much to the surprise of his father. Halfway through, Skylar got to the point where he was taking the advanced courses. In his senior year, Skylar was taking nothing but AP classes and was even getting some early college courses at night. As one could imagine, that shocked Skylark. So much so that he eased off the deal around third quarter and that allowed Skylar to start his music once more…well, not like he stopped to begin with. He simply didn’t allow his father know about it.

And then came that one faithful day. The day that set in course Skylar’s journey to California. The day that he would be able to leave his life in Seattle behind and the stress from his overbearing, strict father along with it. The day that his acceptance letter to Hollywood University came.

When it came, Skylar was ecstatic. He told his family. He told his friends. He told anyone who would listen. They all gathered around him. Ten of them it was and they anxiously waited for him to open it and see what his future held for him. They waited for him to see if he was going to stay in Seattle and that in itself, stay near his father, or would he be venturing to new heights, to new horizons, and to a new state? Whatever it was, he would find out in that one moment. And that’s all that it took.

One, he ran his right index finger along the top of large envelope. Two, he opened it up and grabbed the packet in his hand. Three, he read and read, each word following in succession. Each word permanently registering into his memory. Each word revealing what waited for him.

“We, here at Hollywood University, are proud to announce that applicant Skylar Collins III is accepted to our esteemed school and that you will have a full-scholarship.” It read. When he got done reading, Skylar revealed what said. Each of them had different reactions. Half of them were speechless(in a good way) and the other half had only what could be described as looks of dismay, as if they were hoping for the complete opposite.

One reaction that got him was his father’s. He did not have a happy nor sad reaction. It was neutral, as if Skylark wasn’t affected by it at all. He simply reminded Skylar of the deal. The teen nodded and returned to the letter, looking through the rest of the packet. He had to read through it and prepare for his new life in California.

Extra;

►Like Skylar, I too am an artist. Art was my true love(more so digital art cause I can‘t draw to save my life lol).
►Skylar is Half-Cuban, Half-Canadian. The former being from his mother's side and latter his father's.
►Skylark Collins Jr - 55 years old, father
►Cassandra Nunez- 46 years old, mother
►Michael Dominic Collins - 25 years old, older brother
►Lillian "Lily" Nunez - 23 years old, older sister(lives with her when HU is on break)
►Mary-Theresa Nunez - 14 years old, younger sister)

Due to the fact that he is a struggling musician to get by, Julian’s income is in the lower to mid thousands on a yearly basis. Usually, he has a $5,000 yearly income(more or less), so that puts him around $417 a month, with it being spread out into the month. In that case, he roughly has $104.25 and daily, that could be less than $20, but the latter two are up for debate.

The Top Five Most Influential Roleplayers

@HankFunny thing, a lot of people seem to be doing that. Like, forsaking the plot, rules, factions, etc sections and simply go with a IC info, OOC info approach. I think it's pretty effective and much more eye-pleasing.

Closed.

Been stalking this for a while and wanted to post saying I'm interested.

What gender is preferred I join with? I was hoping I could go with a female cause I got a perfect idea for one, but I saw that on the OP that there's something mentioned about a male slot.
