I want to write, but don't ever seem to have the drive anymore. Every time I come back to this place and pop in to see how things are going, I want to come back. But I just can't seem to stick around.

At this point I think it’s safe to say I hate college, since I’m in my graduating semester with 6 classes, but I’m also pretty anxious about whatever will happen once I’m finally done.

That last month of the semester hit me real hard, but so begins the recovery process. I just want to chill out for a bit without having to think about another academic paper...

Bio
It's been 4 years so I may as well put something in here, right?
I tend to enjoy worlds verging on the bleaker side of things, not really sure why. I like 'em gritty and somewhat grounded, with a reasonable amount of realism (fun takes priority though, ofc). I guess I just like having a sense that defeat is right around the corner, though overwhelming odds are always best saved for those wonderful moments when everyone feels like a total badass regardless of victory or defeat.
I've really wanted to find an RP set in the worlds of Red Dead, Hunt: Showdown, For Honor, the Metro series, and a few others I can't remember at the moment. Any time I look I come up empty-handed, but I'd still like to find one.
Eh, be honest, would you rather have the power to destroy modern buildings with fire, lightning, ice, water, acid, magnetism, etcetera, or a more versatile but less god-like power?
We're not supposed to be gods here. We are, at most, superhuman. Not superheroes.
Elemental abilities will be limited.
Your powers can be negotiated, but the values seem a little high. I'd say X10 max, and perhaps a healing touch? This would have to require great concentration, of course.
@Dirty Dan This goes for you too. Everyone has limits.
Biokinesis ((Accelerated healing, exponential physical attributes, all of them, defaults to X-3 when it's non-activated, but can extend to X-15 times maximum, accelerated healing defaults to X12 when non-concentrated))
I think you should probably cut the "converting to shadow" and having physical shadows. Lets say she can hide herself and others in her shadows, can blind and mute people with her shadows, and can manipulate the shape of shadows to provide these effects. This would then become a psychological-illusion ability.
Hey, I'd be willing to go so far as to allow your character to make people in her shadows hallucinate their greatest fears.
Should probably let her have her average girl strength back in daylight, too. XD
Eye Colors: Left is Brown, Right is like...Bluish Purple
Personality He is very remorseful, yet if one pays close enough attention they can tell that he has hope. It's actually almost like he's planning something...but nobody could ever guess what that could be. He has been known to spare Gifted with harmless abilities, while capturing those with harmful ones. Doesn't make much difference to the Gifted population, but at least he's one of the more merciful hunters. In fact, the only reason he even kills at all is to save his own life from execution.
Type: Type 1, but is assumed to be a Type 4 by his superiors
Abilities Psychological: John has the power of telepathy, and can use his power to read minds or communicate over long distances. He has been trained to use his powers to track down other gifted, though his superiors think he is only a Type 4 Gifted, and so he has secretly trained himself how to read minds and communicate telepathically.
Bio John grew up as a fairly normal kid, taking a great liking to video games and movies and books. He enjoyed watching and reading these fantasies, and wished he could be in one himself. But as time went on John realized what an impossible dream that might be, because he began to notice that he was just a nobody. There was nothing truly special about him, and aside from being slightly above average in school - he really didn't do anything else. No sports, no extracurricular activities, no nothing. Just your average Joe...or...John. That is, until his eighteenth birthday; where his right eye changed color and he began to sense these...things. He didn't know what he was feeling, but one day he got curious enough to follow one of these 'feelings', and he came up to a house just as the authorities arrived at the door. He took cover and watched as the house was raided and a girl was taken out...she had mismatched eye colors, just like him! What was happening?! Why did they want her? Was it cause her eyes were different?! John figured they might want to take him away too, and he wanted to run away from here before he was noticed...but...that girl...she needed help. She was struggling and resisting, then suddenly she looked at John and screamed to him for help. His mind seared with an intense sensation, and he recognized it as the 'feeling' he followed over here...but...wait...the men who were capturing her turned and saw him. He panicked and got up to run, but...no...the sensation filled his head...and he felt brave...he had to help, he had to try.
John tried in vain, and was captured. The girl and him were taken and enslaved; John was trained and forced to work as a hunter to find more gifted, and to the best of John's knowledge...the girl was strapped into a chair, forced to incite bravery into the hunters in training.
Post Example
John was wrapping gauze around his head and over his purple eye, making sure to get the bandage under his hair so as to not make it so obvious. He had already put some dried meat from a hamburger under the gauze and over his eye, so as to make it look swollen. Once finished, he looked himself over in the mirror and decided he'd done a decent enough job trying to blend in. Might not fool a doctor, but it should certainly trick somebody who doesn't know a thing about medical practices.
John then opened the door to the men's restroom inside a burger joint, looking around the place with his one, uncovered eye. It was weird, this whole one-eyed concept, but it was necessary. John walked the door to leave, and a woman was approaching the door to enter. John opened the door and stood to the side to let the lady in, to which he noticed she gasped slightly at the sight of his eye. But the woman didn't speak, she just hurried through the door. John took that as a sign of success, and left the burger joint to take in his surroundings as best as he could. Now, with his disguise complete, it was on to the true matter; the Gifted he could sense nearby. So John walked up and down the sidewalk on one side of the road until he pin-pointed the location of the nearby Gifted and crossed the street to intercept.
Other -Gained his powers at the age of 16. -He is a Hunter. -He dual wields telescoping shock batons. -He's a naturally good tinkerer, and can take apart, put together, or just modify weapons.
Edit: I'm pretty sure I put that in the setting section.
That's also something the OG Thread described in the "Eyes" section of the CS in case people missed that. XD
Everyone, please be aware that the Gifted have heterochromia that sets in when they get their power. One eye is a different color from the other. If your eyes change color due to power usage, that is still fine.
Bioxis Test Subject #817 Series #41 Serial Number: 817-41-17 Designation: "Delta Silver" Organ Donor: "John Reynolds"
| ALIAS: |
Centurion
| ABILITIES/SKILLS/EQUIPMENT: |
Cybernetics: Delta's robotic body provides superhuman strength, speed, and durability, as well as many extra bodily functions. -Superhuman Strength: Can punch holes straight through walls and lift immense weights -Superhuman Speed: Can run at high speeds and leap to great heights -Superhuman Durability: Can survive more bodily damage than the average human
Integrated Systems: -Eyes: Infrared Vision and Night Vision -Ears: Can hear a greater range of frequencies than humans, and at greater distances -Backside: Thruster jets to heighten leaps and soften landings -Hands: Can uplink with computers -Internal: Forcefield generator linked to the mind and thoughts of the user(If he wants a personal shield, he gets one - if he wants a bubble shield, he gets one), and a solar array to ease power consumption in the field...during daylight.
Integrated Weapons: -Plasma Repeater: An automatic weapon that fires small bolts of plasma at high rates of fire -Plasma Cannon: A semi-automatic weapon that fires larger blobs of volatile plasma
| LIMITATIONS AND WEAKNESSES: |
Limitations: Maximum Lift: ~2,500 lbs Max Running Speed: 52 mph over 6.3 seconds Plasma weaponry can overheat and cause internal circuitry damage if used excessively. Plasma Repeater fires up to 720 rounds per minute, but is generally only fired at 600. Plasma Cannon fires up to 30 rounds per second, but is generally only fired at 15. Delta cannot project a forcefield and use his plasma weaponry at the same time.
Weaknesses: Delta's systems are sensitive to frequencies. High frequencies can inhibit basic functions and cause migraines, while low frequencies can disrupt his forcefield projections. Water is not a problem, but sand is. Sand can cause movements to become delayed and groggy, even so far as to restrict movement. Not to mention that sand is hard to clean out. Delta is also vulnerable to magnets, go figure.
| SAMPLE POST: |
| NOTES: |
-Is actually a cyborg, but looks like a robot -Has a human brain, and therefore can experience dreams and emotions -Internal body structure is similar to a humans, although only the organs are organic -Cannot eat solid food, and must ingest liquids.
I'm gonna put this right here for now cause I need to get some inspiration for the sample post. I've got a great idea for it but I keep failing at writing it.
It's been 4 years so I may as well put something in here, right?
I tend to enjoy worlds verging on the bleaker side of things, not really sure why. I like 'em gritty and somewhat grounded, with a reasonable amount of realism (fun takes priority though, ofc). I guess I just like having a sense that defeat is right around the corner, though overwhelming odds are always best saved for those wonderful moments when everyone feels like a total badass regardless of victory or defeat.
I've really wanted to find an RP set in the worlds of Red Dead, Hunt: Showdown, For Honor, the Metro series, and a few others I can't remember at the moment. Any time I look I come up empty-handed, but I'd still like to find one.
