Thanks for the answers. Love the swords in modern world deal.

Of Blood and Magic (Closed)

@Achronum

This does sound cool. I've a few questions

1) what's the tech level?

2) do the mages actually need their vampire partner? Or is it kind of one-sided, just a result of the deal between the two races?

3) and on that note, are the vampires and the human mages treated equally by staff? Similarly, do the vampires treat them like servants, or actual partners?

4) what all is entailed in the partnership?

5) and lastly, just to clarify, vampires can't use magic, right? That's just for humans?

Incorrigible - A 'Dark Elves' Roleplay

@oberonsthing@Aristo

In regards to underground(or whatever physical separation) vs another dimension: when thinking of the coming from another plane, I was thinking more like the feywild/shadowfell. Like an overlapping kind of thing.

If it's just physical we could play around with a dark forest that they only leave at night, or a walled city, maybe with like a magical, ever present cloud cover.

Incorrigible - A 'Dark Elves' Roleplay

I'd be interested in this.

As far as setup goes, I personally prefer to play just one character.

I think we should be playing under the same house, but I think with dark elves that doesn't necessarily mean we would be cooperating. Of course if an external threat appeared, House pride would trump petty conflicts.

Coming from another dimension, or maybe an overlapping plane would be cool, or else living under ground like the drow. They would be a sort of myth or boogeyman for people of the material plane, or the surface world, depending on which way we would go.

Kokoro Academy - A My Hero Academia RP (12/12 Slots)

I've got one. No picture yet. I actually haven't even decided on gender.

Alright, I got my picture in there, awaiting verdict.

Character?!

Name: Martins, Robin
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Appearance:

Average height for his age, with a slim build. Jeans and a t-shirt is a pretty common uniform, but he wears his old brown jacket almost like a security blanket. It's leather, and lined with fur, maybe too warm for some of the time he sports it.
In contrast to the ever present jacket, he has a rotating and ever growing selection of sneakers. He prefers for them to look new, but is a little hard on them, leading him to replace them often.

Quirk: Impulse This quirk allows the user to emit physical force from the body, in pulses or beams. Any part of the body can be used, but the hands, and to a lesser extent, feet allow for much greater focus.

Drawback: Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Every bit of force ejected, also acts on the body in the other direction. Robin's body is adapted to handle more blunt force than usual, but if you try to blast someone twice your weight, you're going to be moving too.

Questions:

• Given its reputation, why apply to Kokoro Academy?
  I have an older cousin who came here, and she spoke very highly of the program. I know what people say, but I know her more than any of them, so I'll trust that. Unless she was messing with me... But even if she was, you guys have gotten better recently, right?
• Why do you want to be a professional hero?
  A lot of my family is. I have a brother who's an accountant, but other than him anyone who wasn't a hero went into either law enforcement or rescue services. I guess maybe that puts some pressure on me or something, but I like to think that they just show me the best ways to use my power.
• What kind of professional hero do you want to become?
  The kind who blasts bad guys? That doesn't make it sound good. I want to be the kind of hero, the kind of person who doesn't allow people to hurt others. Hero or no, I'll do what I can to keep bad people from doing bad things. If I don't get in, I guess I'll join a neighborhood watch or something.
• Best describe yourself in five sentences.
  I'm fun loving, maybe a little reckless(but I swear I can be responsible when I need to!) I think I'm pretty easy to get along with for most people. Things don't get under my skin easily, I'm good at rolling with the punches. I'm nice; I mean, like kind, I like to help people, lend a hand. And obviously, I'm not very introspective. If I had to be for a second, I'd say I take my, and everyone else's feelings at face value.
• What are you interests and hobbies?
  Skateboarding, I think you can probably see how my quirk can be used for that. I like music, funky stuff you can dance to, like BTS or Too Many Zooz. Okay, those are very different, but they both have what I want. And I guess I like to people-watch, though it's best when you have someone to make commentary with. Like, "Look at that kid, that burger is way too big for him," that kind of thing.
• Are there any notable accomplishments you want to us to be aware of?
  I saved a kid from getting hit by a car once. I saw it coming, and k saw that he didn't so I, uh, I blasted him out of the street. Don't look at me like that, it was better than the car hitting him! It's not the best story, but I did the best I could think of at the time.
• Tell us something about your quirk that most might not know? Any events or memories, be it joyous or ill, tied to it?
  Well I find it pretty straightforward, but a lot of people don't consider how much you have to think about physics. Thermodynamics are the bane of my existence, for starters. But there's a lot of ways to cushion the force, or brace yourself so it doesn't move you. It can lift me off my feet, if I'm not careful. And if I'm really careful, sometimes I can do it on purpose.
• Why should we consider you over the other applicants? What can you offer that they cannot?
  Well if it's time to toot my own horn, my quirk is pretty strong. It's not the flashiest, and it's not the most interesting. But it's reliable, and versatile. And I want to use it to do good. You probably hear all kinds of stuff trying to convince you, but I mean it. I think I've got what it takes, and I think I'm doing it for the right reasons, is all I'm saying.

Spider-verse: Web of Fate

Thanks, wish I could take credit.

Fun fact, wolf spiders don't spin webs, they physically hunt their prey, and have excellent eyesight.

Hence Bruce's lack of web shooters(though I'm sure someone will make him some in the story somewhere) and particular power set.

Spider-verse: Web of Fate

Character

Name: Bruce Bailey III
Age: 20

Background: An average student, despite his father’s meteoric career in genetics. Bruce was raised by his single father, who at the very least tries to be involved and understanding.
Bruce’s main claim to any kind of glory or public recognition was as a runningback on his high school football team. To his chagrin, back home he's particularly famous for the severe injury of another player in his senior year.

After acquiring his powers thanks(he later learned) to a lapse in lab safety at his father's work, he first tried to use them to secure an athletic scholarship. He didn't have much hope of getting into a good school otherwise. When his incredible speed and strength put a student from another school in the hospital, he swore off contact sports, switched to track and field, and donned a super hero costume, in an honest effort to attone for what he had done.

He got his scholarship, though not for the sport he originally intended, and moved to a student apartment in the city.

He’s a dedicated kind of person, who puts himself into what’s important to him, even if that’s not always what others would want for him.

Hero name: Wolf-Spider

Costume:



Bruce is a mechanical engineering major, and while he doesn't have the chemical know-how to replicate Spider-Man's web fluid, he has made some other special variations on the classic costume. His mask is hard polymer, more like a helmet, and has extra lenses with fiber optics to feed into his peripheral vision, making use of his enhanced senses to increase his field of vision. It also has an audio relay to increase or alter incoming sound.

Powers:

Super Strength
Speed and Agility
Durability
Accelerated Healing
Mutation: Enhanced senses

Bettee, thank you.

I don't know if you guys are still about to do this, but I'd love to join if you are.

*cough*

I don't really have anything less lame than to just say I'm sorry. Work and health issues got away from me. It just became harder and harder to get on much of anything, and I had to make kinda hard choices about where to direct what time I had.

I won't lie, though. Even after things slowed down I put off coming back here, because it bad been so long by then. I probably should have stopped in a couple weeks ago, really, but the thought of it made me unaccountable anxious.

Spider-Men

@Burning Kitty Your character’s spot on deductions are pretty unrealistic, it just comes off kind of meta-gamey.

Connecting the sickness with the powers is perfectly reasonable, but jumping to the conclusion that it’s a parent of one of the students specifically working on a super soldier program is just a ludicrous cognitive leap.
