Heroes of Azure City 🎫 Always Open

Okay, I have the character sheet set up in a Word doc, just need to start. I'm about to join in on a weekly DnD session, and already spent 3 hours on another character sheet, so we'll see how I feel in a few hours. xD

Ummm, what's your take on younger characters?

I have an idea for the Jaeger but I don't know if I want to base it off of the younger version or the older version of a character, and how the power acts.

@Shard

Edit: Hmm, I just saw no minimum age in the character sheet. I wasn't planning on playing a 5 year-old but I do need to plan on how I want to do this xD

I only did it because it actually helped me to read it better, seeing others do it. I think it's totally optional :D The post box does have preformatted buttons though if you decide to mess around with it :D

Mahrie Lizbeth Beaulieu

A little girl with a very big heart, and the desire to help in any way she can.

Most of Mahrie's life was spent under her parent's watchful care. She was born in Perouges, France on May 25th, 2004. She was brought up in a middle-class family that valued many things. Her parents volunteered with their church to help in city restorations, and periodically travelling around France for missionary work. On August 1st, 2014 her mother, Rubie Beaulieu died of Spinal Muscular Atrophy, a genetic disorder characterized by weakness and wasting in muscles used for movement.
After her mother died, Mahrie's father, Marc Beaulieu, volunteered for a permanent assignment as a Pastor at the Eagle Harbor Congregational church in Bainbridge Island, WA.

Moving was rough for Mahrie. Both sides of her grandparents had passed away when she was younger, so it wasn't so much missing friends and family, but having to learn a whole new language put a damper in her usually bright spirits. Primary school gave her a rough start as Mahrie had a very difficult time making friends. A year into her new education, most days would result in her coming home with tears in her eyes and evenings in her father's arms as he tried to comfort her through the confusion and distress.

On September 19th, 2018 her father was a victim in a drive-by shooting in Seattle while at a conference for his missionary work. While arrangements were being made for his funeral, Mahrie was given many invitations from families at her father's church to come and live with them while she dealt with her grief. All of which, she declined. Eventually, Mahrie was moved to a local orphanage with a small amount of children, some her age, most of them younger.
She continued to power through her studies, deciding early on in life that she yearned to be a doctor, to help people like her mom. And to be an author, so she could share with the world what an amazing man her father was, and how devoted he was to his family and his community.

[h.r]
Physical Traits
Mahrie prefers to wear her hair down, spread about her shoulders most of the time. Sometimes, she'll put it in a one-sided braid that she'll pull over one of her shoulders. She favors fun, colorful blouses most of the time, some with floral patterns, some plain, and is usually seen wearing darker blue jeans, sneakers, and a hoodie when roaming about.

Full Name
Mahrie Lizbeth Beaulieu (Mah-ree Bow-li-yoo)

Gender
Female

Ethnicity
Caucasian

Sexuality
Heterosexual

Age
16

Motives
Mahrie's parents' devotion to both her, and their community taught her at a young age to be compassion, understanding, and willing to help in and way she could. Her mother taught her to keep powering through until the very end, no matter what the world throws at you. And her father left a legacy of helping anyone he could, but also finding a balance between his passion in his work and his daughter, giving care and compassion to both, equally.
Due to the experiences she’s had since moving from France to the United States, with bullying and sometimes not grasping “American” concepts quite as well, Mahrie lacks confidence in herself in times of emotional stress, sometimes feeling as though she isn’t good enough for what needs to be done.

About Maksim

Origin
In this era of Mutants, America may be more welcoming to such interesting beings, but in the far corners of the world, other countries and people may not be so welcoming.
Maksim Lyaksandro Lowe was born on October 20th, 2005 to a human mother, and a Mutant father. He was born in the small village of Dzembronya, Ukraine. With a small population of 250 people, Maksim’s father, Lyaksandro, moved there with his wife before Maksim was born, in hopes that they could hide amongst the tall mountains and dense forests, and be as normal as their family could be.
When the Ukrainian government began to scour the country for mutants, taking some in as live experiments and executing the rest, Maksim’s father instructed his son to run, run far, and do not stop running until he’s found somewhere safe. At 13 years of age, Maksim was forced to fend for himself. He ran, and hid, and ran some more, not knowing how far but determined to get far from anyone who want to harm him. Eventually, after scavenging for scraps, and at times evading officials, Maksim stowed away on a cargo ship.
Eventually, the young boy found himself in Azure City, New York, USA.
Present day in Azure City, the young Maksim is only 14 years of age. He lives on the streets of the city, evading officials out of general fear of what they’d do to him and stealing to be able to survive. Due to the nature of what he’s had to do to live on the streets, Maksim is forced to evade officials, and seems to always be on the run from trouble, even though the young boy has not an ounce of evil in his heart.

Personality
During his early childhood in Ukraine, Maksim always enjoyed exploring the woods near his house, going fishing with his father, and helping his mother take care of their small farm by doing chores around the homestead. He and his father shared the same mutant power, so many free nights were spent by his father side, learning how to harness it’s power, and not let it’s energy take over his mind and body.
Now, stuck in Azure City and struggling to survive, Maksim is a completely different child. Due to being constantly pursued by the officials the young boy is always looking over his shoulder and covering his tracks so that he may have a few moments of rest before having to run. Maksim refuses to let anyone near him who asks and tries his best to stay away from large crowds of people. Stealing from others, and at times being forced to fight his power when its triggered, has taught the boy to feel little remorse in anything he does.
A little boy who once loved his family and his world, Maksim is forced to do anything he can to stay alive, fearful to approach anyone for help should they turn their back on him and leave him for dead.

Notable Relations
His parents will always hold a special place in his heart. When he lays down to rest, they’re always there in the forefront of his thoughts, assuring him that everything will be alright.

Resources
N/A

Everyday Skills
Because Maksim has had to steal and cheat his way to survive, he’s learned to be very sneaky. He excels at pickpocketing if he can find the right moment, and never turns up a free chance to nab a meal from under someone’s nose.

Combat

Fighting Style
Maksim prefers to avoid any conflict that he can, both because he doesn’t know much hand-to-hand skills, and, if frightened, his powers can overtake him, causing him to go into an unstoppable rampage in which he can harm, and even kill, anyone and everyone he sees as a threat.

Strengths
Maksim is somewhat on the smaller side for his age, thus allowing him to be more agile and allowing him to slip from somebody’s loose grasp, or outrun someone should he get into trouble. He’s also learning to be quicker on his feet when he needs to climb or scale an object to get out of a sticky situation.

Weaknesses
Maksim is not very good at hand to hand fighting and prefers to stay far from anyone should a fight ensue.

Equipment
Maksim does not own any sort of weapon or tool.
For clothes, he wears:
A tattered blue denim jacket. (instagram.com/p/5POzEHwupn)
Dark, calf-length pants that are worn at the knees and tattered at the bottom of the leg.
Black sneakers that are starting to separate at the sole and have a few small holes in them.

Power

Strengths
Maksim is somewhat of a Lycanthrope, meaning his power relates to that of becoming a werewolf. When this power is triggered, the host’s eyes glow a deep blue, their canine and teeth become sharper (as a reflection of their power being derived from a wolf) and they receive a burst of strength. Although, even with fully developed powers, the user does not fully transform into that of a werewolf, but rather receives heightened senses, sharpened reflexes, and improved survivability for a short time.
An adult with this power can withstand a stab wound through a non-vital organ during a fight, in which the adrenaline is so high that they can push through their pain and finish the fight.
A child with this power, if properly and rigorously trained from birth through adolescence, can control their power, but will not receive the full affects an adult might, including some lack of adrenaline, and less survivability. But in turn, they will be able to control their power, and choose when it is triggered and released.

Weaknesses/Limitations
A child Lycanthrope, if not properly trained from birth through adulthood, may find trouble in trying to control their power if frightened or threatened. The child does not receive the sharper canine teeth, but their eyes will still glow blue and they find themselves unable to control their body or mind.
Due to the lack of training in Maksim’s case, he has the survivability, the reflexes, and the senses, but he is unable to limit and control it, thus running his body to the point that he could collapse and be unable to function without proper rest.
The major drawback to both adults and children, is once their power is released, whether it be from choice or not, they immediately lose any heightened abilities, and the adrenaline quickly leaves their body.
Any injuries sustained, life threatening ones most importantly, must be treated immediately, as their bodies go back to the normal state of a human, to which a certain extent of pain and injury is too much for anyone to bear.
Both adults and children Lycanthrope can only be in their state of power for a limited time, and that time all depends upon the amount and intensity of training they have received.

Maksim does pretty well at keeping himself in decent hygiene despite his struggles.

Please excuse the lack of characters, but I've only ever had one, and now I plan on making a few more. I enjoy having very few characters because I want to know each of them, and I want them all to feel unique and original.

Writing Sample

"Maaahrie! It's time for dinner!" came the call from downstairs. One of the volunteers had just finished cooking an evening meal for all of the children. "Put down that book and get down here quick! Otherwise it's going to get cold again!" Mahrie couldn't help but smile in the moments after that call, for most of the volunteers here knew her tendencies to get caught up in her books and forget to eat completely.

"One moment!" she called back, aiming to quickly finish the page she was on before having to hurry downstairs. Her current read consisted of a mix between biographies of famous doctors, both old and new, and harrowing details of their lives, how they had come to find their passion, and the people they got to save and see smile once more.
Many times, Mahrie found herself lost in one of the many books she'd carry with her to school. Whether they be compelling fantasies, stunning biographies, or simply a newspaper article about finding a cure to an illness or a doctor who performed a miraculous surgery.

As she skimmed that last page, subconsciously reading it a few times over already, her mind wandered off in thought to some advice she had been given once, from one of the volunteers at the orphanage. It made her think about just how much she's in tune to the world around her, and perhaps how she's so dependent on reading to be happy that she misses out on everything going on around her.

"Y'know Mahrie, it's alright to take a break from reading sometimes. I know you love to read, but you should also pay attention to the world around you, before you miss anything."

"What do you mean when you say, anything?" she asked, glancing up at the woman momentarily as they strolled through the park.

The older woman chuckled quietly, reaching down and gently closing Mahrie's book as they stopped on the path for a moment.

"If you look around Mahrie, there's lots more to see than meets the eye. See the leaves falling? It's going to start getting colder, fall is almost here." the woman paused and pointed down at the grass bordering the pathway.
"And look, the ants are preparing for fall too. They're taking crumbs down to their Queen, so that they can stay underground when it starts getting cold." Looking back at Mahrie, there was some fascination in the child's eyes.

"But you learned that by reading about it, didn't you?"

"Yes, that is true," the woman said with a little chuckle, "but what good is reading about it if you can't experience it for yourself?"

"Hm, I guess that makes some sense. But I still want to finish my book." the child said, shrugging with indifference and diving back into her book.

The woman laughed in amusement, "I wouldn't expect anything different, Mahrie." she said, placing a hand on the young girl's shoulders and leading her down the path.

Oh, and in relation to a post earlier asking about having to lug parents around, I was leaning towards them being an orphan by time the RP starts. Perhaps she was taken in by a person of the group, or they find her pretty early into the RP.
All can be discussed, just throwing ideas out here!

Star Lord is only looking for about five people, but don't let that deter you. Who knows; you might be accepted.

EDIT: Just got news that there is a possible max of 8 depending on the sheet quality.

As for your question, are we talking S1-S2 kind of Carl, or something more akin to recent seasons (before, y'know, the thing)?

@Euphonium

Ah yes, before the thing. xD That's more of what I'd like to go for. I'll see what I can get done!
