[This Roleplay Is Closed] - Snow White, Rose Red

"Fair enough," Thomas eventually says after a long moment of silence spent studying Liza. "Though for the record, your hair is pretty. I doubt anyone here will have much to say about me though. Nobody really knew me besides Sierra. Who knows that they'll make up or speculate though." Falling silent, he spends a moment chewing the inside of his lip and staring into space. Nobody here knew enough about him to present any real information that couldn't be taken from the school's database. That didn't mean they wouldn't bring up every suspicion and stray thought they had about him to the detectives.

"Everyone's got something to hide. Nobody is perfect." Not even the straight A honor student who never misses a day, never does anything wrong. Everyone's got a skeleton in their closet. Just so happens that the only person to see mine ended up dead, he added to himself, more than a little bitter about the whole thing. "Yeah, she was my friend. Only person here who really called me that," Thomas finished, eyes falling to the table. In the past, the only people to talk to him besides Sierra either hated him for the apparent ease with which he earned his grades, or saw him as an easy target. The list had given him a reason to talk to others though, and who was he to waste that chance? Besides, they all had a common tie already. Maybe now it was time to put together a full picture of who Sierra really was, to all of them.

"I know I just kind of showed up out of the blue, but I'm glad we can talk. I've been alone with my thoughts for too long, and I doubt anyone else would have listened to or put up with me." His mother certainly wouldn't have, not that she was ever around. The others on the list probably barely knew who he was, and everyone else avoided him for fear of being caught up in the whole mess.

I'm working on it right now, I just have a bunch of other things to catch up on as well. My professors like to assign papers with terrible timing. I'll probably have something up tonight. So sorry for taking forever.

Welcome to the USO! (Useless Superhero Organization)

Derp, didn't see this earlier. My CS will go here when I'm done.

Noah Williams

Name: Noah Williams
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Appearance: Noah
Power(s): Empathy - The ability to sense the feelings of others, effected by proximity and familiarity with the subject. Particularly strong or widespread emotions can force Noah to truly feel the emotion.
Personality: Noah is typically quiet and reserved, though due to the nature of his power, is quite unstable. He is prone to sudden outbursts of rage or excitement, as well as swings into depression or anxiety. When he is able, he stays detached from his emotions and those around him, and seems cold and distant. Music helps him keep his calm, and to this end he is rarely seen without headphones, though set at a low volume so he can still hear others.
Bio: Before his power manifested, Noah was just another musically talented young man. When his change occurred, however, his mental state declined sharply. His parents, unable to afford a mental institution, put him out to live on the streets. He lived like this for a year and a half before the creator of the USO stumbled across him, and in a moment of lucidity, Noah introduced himself and asked for help. From that day, two years ago, he hays stayed with the USO, rarely if ever leaving the grounds for fear of what might occur if he is on his own.
Other: Noah plays as well as listens to the flute, harp, and piano.

Useless Superheroes

Excellent.

Useless Superheroes

Quick question, does empathy (the ability to sense the emotions of others, typically very strongly and potentially debilitatingly) count as useless?

The Wedding War

My CS will go here, once I find some time to actually work on it.

Scratch that. Sorry, I can't come up with something I like for this. I may come back if inspiration hits, but right now I've got nothing.

Useless Superheroes

I could see this getting interesting. Count me in.

The System

Sooo... is this dead? I'm gonna be sad if this is dead.

Codex Alera anyone?

I'm not really into the idea of absorbing theories but that did give me my current idea, which for the sake of the story, won't be revealed here. I'm going to get to work on writing things up, and you should expect to see a CS here some time this weekend. Here's what information I can give you now, though.

Gaius Sextus has only just ascended to the position of First Lord of Alera. Shortly after this event, an island was discovered about two weeks' voyage of the southern coast. A small group of Cursors has been chosen to explore this island, ascertain the temperament of any locals, and generally collect as much information as possible. The cursors involved were chosen specifically for the strength of their furycraft, each controlling at least two furies of great strength.

Codex Alera anyone?

My general idea for preventing spoilers as far as location goes was an incursion into a foreign and previously unknown land, or set this in a time before the settling of Calderon Valley. It's entirely likely that everyone will be playing a Cursor, or someone otherwise useful to a Cursor mission.

At the moment, I'm favoring the new land idea. None of the PCs would have the advantage of local furies, and it would be somewhat of a gritty, survival oriented experience. Perhaps this is even a land devoid of furies, leaving the PCs with only their own to use in a hostile environment.
