Paving Their Way with Hope

i'm pretty heavily reworking a preexisting character i have. 23, originally from kiloude, but moved up to lumiose maybe ten years ago or so. classmates? neighbors? a mutual friend set them up on a blind date in high school and they figured 'no you're not my type but you seem ok enough to hang out with'? really it can be anything you like.

the pokemon types you listed look good to me. i think i'll be the first to claim one and nab the teleporter if that's all right with you. idk how strict you wanna be with the pokemon rules, but i was thinking a claydol. they don't learn hypnosis in the game, but it's a pretty generic psychic move.

Aya

The chaos on the streets took a moment to really take hold – people couldn't be sure that what was happening was real, that it was urgent, that the smoke bomb going off inside was their only warning for the bloodshed that came whenever the Underground was involved. But when they did realize, the panic was fervent and inescapable. Some people ran, the memory of the massacre fresh in their minds. Others jumped back a short distance and then pulled out their phones, eager to capture the chaos on film. Aya stood frozen, heart in her throat as the sounds from inside the mayor's building reverberated down the street.

"Mom!" A cry snapped her to attention. Aya turned just in time to see a boy no older than twelve dart towards the mayor’s office. On instinct her body unfroze and she took a step after him.

"Hey!" Aya faltered though when she had to take another step towards the office. The boy was already gone, having darted through the crowds and over the threshold. A sickening thought shot through her. He was going to die in there. Aya looked around but no one else seemed to notice the stray child charging into the lion's den. After a moment of hesitation, she ran in after him, the only thought in her head that this was the dumbest thing she'd ever done.

Inside was oddly calm compared to the pandemonium of the street. But Aya supposed that was because the action was happening deeper inside. She crept through the hall, looking for the boy, but the building was deceptively big, with winding hallways. Aya knew what she could do to make this faster – and safer. But her heart seemed to skip a beat at the thought.

Hiding what she was here would do no good. She'd already exposed her powers once and this was the second Meta spectacle she'd been at this week. What was the point job hiding any more if her power could be of some use?

After only a moment more of hesitation, Aya closed her eyes. When she opened them again, she was looking at the astral plane. She darted through the walls, searching for the little boy. Growing more frantic by the moment, she passed through the chaos that was the press room, not letting herself stop and witness the madness. Finally she found the boy, running through a hall near the back of the building. Snapping back into her body, Aya dashed in that direction, hoping she could avoid any mess as she did so.

So my character is fully accepted now?

@Nytefall

That's typically what "approved" means, yes.

The Gifted: A Fast Paced Superpower RP (Relaunch)

@Nytefall character approved

The Gifted: A Fast Paced Superpower RP (Relaunch)

I think she does mention light by name but I can go back and double check. Also just pretend ayas post takes place after all the set up.

Aya

Aya had floated through the past two days in a fog. She went to classes, did her work, clocked in at the bookstore, but not matter what she did or where she went, all she could see were her stars, dancing just past her eyes. She'd managed to not use her power for over a year before that incident with the knight. She'd been content to tiptoe around this city like a minefield, keeping her secret. But now someone knew. But he'd seemed like a good sort… the kind who would respect her secret. Besides, who was to say they'd ever meet again? As noticeable as he was in that armor, he wouldn't be difficult to avoid if she needed to.

Empty reassurances circled her mind for two days straight, but she still jumped at every sound, still saw blood-splattered churches with lifeless bodies resting on the pews. She hadn't used her power once since the incident, but Aya still saw her stars.

She was walking from the campus to the metro station so she could cross the city to her work. The street was oddly quiet today, the crowd thinner than usual, and Aya glanced around, nervous. Something had to be going on. But then she heard an odd, metallic-tinged voice echoing through the city. Someone was speaking into microphone, too far away for Aya to properly make out the words. At least, until she heard one word in particular: Metas.

Despite her better judgement, Aya found herself moving towards the voice, and the closer she got the thicker the crowds became. She'd forgotten that Mayor Martinez was holding some sort of press conference on Metas after the massacre. Light, some big name Reformist was back in town, and people needed to feel secure. She saw what looked like a glowing cloud-bird before she saw the mayor's building, and the blatant display of power almost made her hesitate. It seemed to be putting the people around her on edge too, but Aya pushed on, beaconed by a morbid sort of curiosity. A giant projector screen was propped up before the steps of the office, showing the mayor inside, flanked by Light and who Aya assumed to be other Reformists.

"And I have full faith," he went on, "That General Smoak and the Reformists, along with the Los Angeles Police Department, are doing everything possible to ensure the safety of this city and its people." A lukewarm applause sounded throughout the crowd, as reporters inside pushed forward to ask their questions. Aya just sunk further away, telling herself she needed to hurry up and get to work, but unable to move her feet.
