VIGILANCE: Memento Mori

So how should we continue from this, Wraith? Like, what should the situations be now?

The Resistance [High-Casual] (Superhuman RP)

Hider

"Hi, welcome to Sultan Electronics, how may I help you?”

Name: Ilyaas Mahmud Al-Shabaab (or just Mahmud for short)

Alias: Nice Guy

Age: 42

Sex: Male

Sexuality: Straight

“We provide a wide range of televisions, radios and other electronic appliances at cheap prices, warranty guaranteed.”

Appearance:

Height: 5' 8"

Weight: 170 pounds

Body Type: His body type is well enough muscled for his age, even though he doesn't work out too much; broad shoulders, strong arms, tight, packed abs and a muscled back, all remnants from his construction job.

Distinguishing Marks: -

Clothing Style: He dresses rather casually, in a shirt and jeans and sneakers. Nothing really special about him. He has a string bracelet around his left wrist, a reminder of home.

“Perhaps you would be interested in our range of premium cable sets? They are able to receive as many as one hundred and fifty channels, both local and from overseas.”

Personality: Ilyaas is a quiet, soft spoken man. Kind hearted and compassionate, he is the sort of person that would help anyone that needs help. Sadly his time spent working dead end jobs with horrible colleagues has made him cynical and withdrawn, and although his original personality is more dominant, bits and pieces of it unravel at times when he'd upset, angry, frightened or otherwise stressed. In states of extreme pressure, he grows cold and distant to regain his focus and composure.

Biography: Born in Iraq, Ilyaas came to America with the slight hope that he could find a good life and a good job to finance his family back home. Sadly, that was never to be. He landed himself in a construction firm simply as the labour, and he worked his ass off for minimum wage for years, barely able to support himself in his rented room. He wasn't all that unique, just another face in the crowd that passed by the coffee shops and grocery stores every day.

When he discovered his powers, it was during a very stressing day at work. His vitriolic colleagues had harassed him to the point of him almost breaking down, but he persevered and fought through everything to complete his work for the day. When it came time to sign out, however, he found that suddenly everyone was ignoring him, and not just his colleagues too. Everyone. People on the street, bus drivers, the cashier at a diner he went to, everyone seemed to not notice him. It wasn't until he realised that point, then willed himself to be noticeable, that his presence was suddenly acknowledged. Thus he realised his ability: to become invisible at will.

He's old enough to have seen and lived through the invasion by the Crusaders and the Technopath. His powers helped him immensely; after all, even the big bad is human. His powers apparently extended through the cameras that popped up all over the city, as well as the sensors within the Crusaders. Virtually invisible, he was free to roam about the city, but life would never be the same. He joined the Resistance mainly because his ability allowed him to walk amongst the enemy unnoticed.

Skills: Estimation and guesswork are his mainstays from his previous time as a construction worker, while number crunching and observation stem from his current experience as a store clerk and cashier.

Powers: Ilyaas has the power of perception filtering; now what that means is that he is able to filter and affect the perceptions of people around him to exclude him from their attention. For example, he can alter the perceptions of people around him to not notice him even though he is standing amongst them. He is able to do things to them or change the environment around them and they will not notice his physical presence at all, not until he turns off his power. People under the spell of this power will often attribute his actions as due to their own luck or unobservant behaviour or clumsiness, and the mesmer is powerful enough to work on anyone within in a twenty foot circle around him. He will even "disappear" from things like video feeds, security cameras, phone cameras and other video or imaging devices; even though he is physically present in the feeds, he will not be noticed by whoever is watching unless he lowers his mesmer.

In essence he can make himself invisible without actually physically turning invisible.

That all depends on the GM.

The Resistance [High-Casual] (Superhuman RP)

That's...A pretty overpowered sheet you got there.

Music Legends

Name
Jonathan "Johnny" Twostep

Age
26

Appearance

Picture be big yo

Johnny stands six feet four inches tall and weighs roughly 160 pounds. A lightweight figure for a light-footed man. His head of hair is dark brown and his eyes are blue. His usual dress is a well-tailored navy blue pinstripe suit jacket over a stark white cuffed shirt, an equally navy blue tie tucked into a waistcoat of the same colour, dress slacks of that colour and honed leather tap dancing shoes. A fedora sits atop his head and he normally wears stark white dress gloves to go along with his formal dress.

Gender
Male

Genre/Tribe
Johnny hails from the tribe of the Swing people; collectively known as the Oldies of Oldtown, his tribe are one of the oldest in the whole of the land. The music they practice and play is also one of the oldest forms of music in the land, as attested to by their elders. Eons ago, Jazz, Swing and Blues were formed from the hearts and souls of the early Caesurans during their trials and tribulations of terraforming their unstable land into their homes. Their blood, sweat and tears distilled through their emotions and into their voices and song, and thus the Trifecta of Trials were born. Jazz, Swing and Blues make up this trio, and Johnny's tribe were the first of the Swingsters in Caesura. He is of their current generation, when the music has reached new levels of ingenuity and excellence yet they dream higher and greater, and he carries these hopes and dreams of his people with him.

Instrument/Weapon
His weapons are a pair of tap-dancing shoes that imbue both his legs and feet with great strength and speed as well as the raw power of sound. His kicks are able to break the speed of sound as a result, and any time he stamps his foot or feet he creates a shockwave that travels through the ground that dissipates over distance and time. His main fighting style is that of what you would know as tae kwon do, mixed with a healthy dose of good ol' fashioned tap dancing, swing dancing and other forms of footwork. The metal plates and braces on his shoes are also hardened and strengthed metals; lightweight and superbly sturdy under pressure of combat and dancing.

Though a peaceful people, when threatened by nature or other tribes, the Swingsters were forced to develop a fighting style wholly of their own; and since the basis of much of their music came from their hands, the style they developed was based entirely around the use of legs and feet.

Personality
Johnny is a very laid back and suave fellow, one you would see leaned up against a wall or a bar counter, drink in one hand, a woman in the other. He's smooth and slick, cunning and feisty, yet kind spirited and gentle to boot, in stark contrast to his fighting style. A ladies man all the way, he is the most gentlemanly to those of the fairer gender, going out of his way to make sure they receive the utmost respect that befits them. With other guys, he's very chummy, the bro amongst other bros, and you'll never see him without a smile on his face unless something's very, very wrong, because Johnny is also very optimistic and cheerful, something that's helepd him all through his life.

Bio
Being a current generation Swingster brings along its share of troubles, and for Johnny, nothing was more troubling than being the sole heir to their style of self defense. All Swingsters knew how to fight to defend themselves, that was true, but Johnathan Twostep was the upcoming heir to the title of Maestro of Swing, something that he didn't quite fancy. Sure, he was the best fighter they had, but he simply didn't want the high life. He enjoyed his time spent in the dives and bars of his home town, Basin, and the relevant dangers that posed to his health. He loved the adrenaline and the adventure of it all. Being the Maestro meant that he'd spend the rest of his days cooped up in some boring school, teaching all the young Swingsters how to fight and to defend themselves. Not a life for him. He left Basin a week before he was to inherit the mantle, and as such his whole town got into an uproar.

Now Johnny Twostep is a fugitive from his own people, hunted by many to be brought back to Basin for a hefty sum, and yet he doesn't mind, for he knows how to live life to its fullest, and he won't let something as trivial as a bounty stop him.

@Saarebas No he can't. Kicks at that speed only.

Music Legends

@Kurai Assassin Even though the GM's approved your sheet, I for one would like to see more personality in your character than just three words. Give it a go, write a full paragraph, at least, and do the same for your character's weapon and his appearance; elaborate on them, expand, give us a clearer image than just a picture or a simple description. Oh, and also sort out the formatting of your sheet, like, properly separate the sections and everything. Everything else is good to go.

@Rin Okumura Your sheet's good, but that shade of blue's hard to read. Perhaps something lighter that isn't so eye straining? XD

Gee I hope this RP doesn't accelerate too fast. I'm used to the slower pace in the Advanced forums, so being here in Free is kinda like going from a quiet country road to the bustling freeway.

Heh, s-see what I did there. Free, freeway, ahaha, ahehe, heh...I'm gonna go now.

Music Legends

I would like to reiterate for all those considering joining this RP.

Please post your characters in the OOC first, not the characters tab. Post them here for approval first, and only shift them to the Chars tab once we've looked over and approved them.

That being said, I shall submit my own character for approval here. Hopefully @Saarebas sees this. XD
