@Dannyrulx

don't forget filipinos for dark skin!

@cloudystar

Yeah, Filipinos get fucked almost as bad as Malays. Still though, there are a TON of nationalities I didn't include because it would be too much of a hassle; 95% of Asian countries are 'dark skinned.'

I was just going to ask... what the hell does this mean? Like, East Asian as opposed to South Asians, who tend to have darker skin? Or something else?

@Oliver

'White Asians' are basically Chinese, Japanese and Koreans. Those with very pale, almost caucasian skin colours.
'Dark Asians' are Indians, Indonesians, Malays, and all the rest of them pretty much with darker skin colours. So yeah, bang on. By the way, it's really not nice to be a dark skinned Asian, particularly Malay. Asians fucking hate Malays (and, of course, I have malay blood. Yay.)

Important announcement to everyone: There are standards I expect, even in a casual roleplay. This is one of the few things I will be completely draconian about; don't follow these, and you might not be long for the RP:

One: Basic SPaG. If my spellcheck can trip anything, then yours should too. Please use spellcheck, even if it's just a quick copy-paste into a word document. I also expect punctuation and grammar to be generally correct. If you forget to close a ' " ', that's perfectly fine, if you don't punctuate whole paragraphs, we're gonna have issues. Grammar too.

Two: Clear understanding. If your message is garbled, or it's difficult to interpret, I will ask (as nicely as possible I might add,) for it to perhaps be revised so that it can be properly read by others. This is a personal pet peeve, I must say, so please don't do it.

Three: For the love of god; DON'T GODMOD. I know I should have written up some rules, but all of the basics you see everywhere apply here. This is the most important. If you need permission to mess with someone's character, ask them either in OC or in PM. If they're fine with it, add a tag like this: <Godmod approved by [The Person Who Gave You Permission]>. If someone tells me they didn't give permission...

These are the ones that I don't judge so harshly, but make life easier:

One: Please tag anyone you want to talk to. It makes everything less painful and means that people always know if they're being referred too. Note that I will strive to tag you all in important posts, if I forget one or two of you, feel free to completely roast me for it :P.

Two: If you don't understand, ASK ME OR A CO-GM. I know I don't actually have a Co yet, I want to get a feel for how you guys tick, but when I do get one, ask them anything you don't understand. The last thing we need is massive continuity fuckups and complete misinformation spreading because you didn't get something.

I'm willing to take it into account. Besides, albinism is technically just a lack of melanin. It varies in severity from people who are pretty much normal (other than having hypersensitive skin and eyesight) to people who can barely function. There was an albino kid at my school for a while and he had it pretty bad, but I've heard tell of people who are more 'normal'.

@Oliver

Hilariously, I just did a project on genetic diseases, and I decided to focus on albinism. All the information is SUPER fresh in my mind.

Fair enough. I'll add it.
In the meantime, I've gone through the other sections and finished my Bio.

I hate to be 'that guy' but albinism would involve light blue/red eye colour, and normally comes with a whole host of eye and sight problems. You could say he was unusually pale, but unless you actually want him to have all the issues albinism comes with, then I would recommend steering away from it. Also, the chance of an Asian, particularly a 'white' Asian, of getting albinism is freaking tiny. Not to say it couldn't happen, just something to consider.

Kosei Academy

Just a little something to whet the appetite: Welcome to the dorms. If you're at all confused about the modifications done to your bunk and/or why said modifications were done, just ask me, it's fine. Note that the dorms will not be full: Kosei Academy is known to take in students throughout the year, and as such a number of bunks per dorm are left empty.

Sounds like a plan. It's been edited to accommodate the 3 points.
I didn't plan on it being an energy drain per se. Kind of more like being in an airlocked room. As in, he'd be fine for a few hours, but eventually the lack of fresh air would make him dizzy. But if you'd rather have that be the main downside to the quirk, that's fine.

@Oliver

I think the main issue with practically every non-mutant perk is that it actively requires the user to do something, which takes energy and focus. Mutants have focus down pat naturally, but the energy cost is always built in, so there's that I suppose.

Kosei Academy

<Snipped quote by Dannyrulx>

Any ideas on how to make it more practical?

@Oliver

As a matter of fact, yes:
1: Allow him to control the temperature of the cloud.
2: Allow him to move slightly faster.
3: If he has enough energy, have him have an in-built defence mechanism where he'll instantly steam up should he be attacked with lethal intent.

I assume this has a high energy drain on him, otherwise please add that.

Kyong Kyu Jin (80% done)

Age: 13
Gender: Male

Personality:
Kyu Jin is quiet and sullen, preferring to keep to himself. He rarely smiles and almost never laughs, and seems to have no sense of humor. Though he keeps this a secret, this is because he's cripplingly anxious and very sensitive. He mostly tries to stay out of everyone's way, but he actually hates being alone and wishes he were able to make friends.
Because of hiding his feelings so much, he's kind of lost his sense of honesty and will often lie just out of convenience.
When talking to people, he tries his best to be at least minimally courteous, though he often comes of as stiff and cold. He's very easily flustered and often has to leave conversations after only a short while so no one catches on that he's shy.
He spends most of his time studying and reading, occasionally practicing his hobbies like drawing and piano.

Background: Working on it. Tomorrow's Saturday so I'll have plenty of time to work on it, and it should be done before tomorrow afternoon. In the meantime, feel free to shoot me suggestions!

Quirk:
Steam: Activates at will, or involuntarily when enraged. Transforms Kyu Jin into a vapor-like form.
In this form he is extremely hot to the touch, about 190-250 degrees Fahrenheit (hot enough to cause burns). He cannot be breathed, and if he passes through a living being while in this form he can and likely will cause high spikes in body temperature or even internal burns if he lingers long enough.
He floats about a foot off the ground and can rise as high as 50 feet.
He can easily pass through solid objects in this form, but because of this he can not pick up or manipulate objects.
He can't move very fast when using Steam, only about walking speed.
He can only use it for a maximum of three hours because he's not taking in much oxygen when using the quirk and will eventually grow lightheaded or even pass out.

Talents:
-Kyu Jin is very good at drawing, is learning to play piano and can sing (though he prefers not to, as he thinks it draws too much attention to himself)
-He played tennis in middle school and was quite good at it.
-He speaks fluent Korean, Japanese and Cantonese. His first language is Korean.
-He's a brilliant liar.

@Oliver

Not sure how practical the quirk is going to be, but it's certainly going to be an interesting ride for him!
