Fugitive Powers

Name:Harvester

Alias:Evil

This is more sci-fi than faster - his alias might be Harvester but he would have an actual name - whether it was known or not to him and those around him is irrelevant.

Personality: Insane will stop at nothing to reach full potential no matter the cost.

Not exactly ideal in fitting in with the other cast members. With a personality like this your character is more of a 'NPC' or background character than a 'protagonist' (or antagonist for that matter).

Appearance:
Height:4'6, Weight:47 lb, Eye Color: Light blue (Glows faintly), Hair: Bald, Special characteristics: Has scythe like appendages sticking out from his back.

I have no idea what your character looks like with this description other than his size, lack of hair and eye colour. What is his skin colour, what does his face look like? Is there any emotion he tends to show most - is this reflected in his eyes/usual expression?

Powers:Grows stronger and gains new abilities by absorbing souls of Humans/Empowered. Super human strength and speed, energy blasts (color:black), and life absorption/sense (Heals wounds).

Weaknesses/Limitations:1st:Frail, can be injured easily.2nd:Blind, prone to stealth unless he has life sense, and is searching.3rd:Cowered, will flee if the tide turns against him, or just gets scared.

The power is a bit vague and prone to being overpowered. Again, look through other people's powers (the character sheets can be found in the first post of the OOC) and see what sort of thing we might be looking for. Try and be inventive with your power and character; at the moment it's a bit bland.

Also the weaknesses address the power itself, rather than the character. Ie. what are the weaknesses of their power - is there a time limit on the effect, how long can they sustain use of the power, can they only use their power within a certain distance? You get the idea.

History:Formally known as "Daven Williams" this Empowered was experimented on since he was only at the age of 4. This continued for years in-till an experiment went wrong...and killed him. The government was getting valuable information for him so death wasn't the end for "Daven".In an attempt to resurrect his corpse they instead made a power hungry monster this was no mere Empowered but a wild animal.No longer a freak on the run, no longer a scared boy, he is the Harvester of souls...

We've posted this thread in the casual section but I would still expect to see a lot more here, and something more original. Go more into depth regarding the character - what's the situation with his family/friends, for example. Again, remember that your character needs to be able to interact with others' - this isn't some kind of battle royale where we roll dice to see if someone dies in an encounter.

Other:If your wondering what Harvester looks like, he's kinda like a walking example of "skin and bones", with black skin.He also doesn't speak he only grunts or screams.

This needs to be in the appearance section.

In all, I would suggest rather than going back and editing that you rebuild your character from scratch. Re-read the original post to get an idea of the lore for this roleplay and come up with a character that will fit into that properly. Reading through the CS I felt it was almost a copy and paste job - very little to nothing corresponded properly or was unique to the premise of the roleplay which makes for a bland, run-of-the-mill character.

I apologise if this comes across as harsh criticism but I would suggest that you start over with your character. I advise you to read through everyone else's character sheets and see what we're looking for; then produce something of a similar standard using the character sheet skeleton found in the first post.

Also, with images you can simply do a google search and find one that fits your needs or if you have one on your computer to use then tinypic, imageshack or photobucket are all good places to host them on.

Fugitive Powers

We've decided not to for now. There are plenty of characters and it can get out of hand with too many - if you feel you have a second character in mind that will contribute to the plot positively then PM one of us with your case and we'll discuss the option.

Fugitive Powers

Not any more than they are in other RPs. I'm in the UK, for example. I imagine that everyone's fairly spread out so there'll be a steady flow of posts.

Fugitive Powers

I was more thinking minutes/hours/days. Not something entirely quantifiable when the flow of time in RPs is always in flux but it's more of an idea of how long a summon might last.

I.e. Call it something like 'five minutes' or whatever seems reasonable to you; we'll come to a general consensus (although it'll be largely your prerogative) to decide when that time limit is then up within the RP.

I'll just repost mine since I'll be editing some other some in. As for weaknesses, not really sure other than the prerequisite of a Haiku. Maybe the fact that I'm only limited to abilities found in literature? Could that work?

How about a time limit dependent on the magnitude/complexity of the object? And possibly a limit on the number of items summoned at once? Those are classic weaknesses which could be overcome simply by practice/training.

Fugitive Powers

Scio: Good so far, looking forward to what power you come up with. (Also, is Sam trans-gender/trans-sexual or did you just muddle the pronouns? I wasn't sure if it was intentional or not!)

Heathen: Great character. I was reading through the power thinking: 'this needs some flaw' and lo and behold, there it was! It's amusing how opposite in fashion Jesse is to Julius, definitely going to have some fun dialogue there.

Fugitive Powers

Julius Ragnarson

Name: Julius Ragnarson
Age: 21
Gender: Male

Image:

(Minus the scar/tattoo - closest thing I could get to him).

Appearance: Julius stands at 5' 10" tall with an athletic build. He is scrawnier than he once was due to the torture conditions in the House of Powers and the diet one has while being on the run from nearly everyone. His muscle mass is beginning to return now that he has his sight back and is better able to engage in physical exercise and activity.
He is blond to the point his hair is nearly white, always carefully brushed into a slightly messy side parting due to his wavy hair which he keeps fastidiously short to be manageable. His eyes are a bright blue, both piercing and warm at the same time; understanding and all-knowing. He has a quick and gentle smile which his eyes sparkle in unison with although it is rare for him to laugh.

Generally, Julius prefers to wear plain, unstyled jeans, running shoes or smart-casual shoes which are also practical, and white polo shirts. His dedication to wearing plain clothes would not be remarkable for the fact he wears the same kind of outfit every day with occasional variance in the colour and make of his polo shirts (although always being of a light colour, usually of a blue variant when not completely white).

He has taken to carrying a pair of sunglasses at all times, from when he had no eyes, although he only wears them in bright, direct sunlight.

Powers: Manipulation of air currents (note: this is not the same as control over air. Julius can alter the movement of air and initiate movement as well but cannot produce air and has very limited ability in altering the state or components of air). He also has a higher muscle strength output than most but this ability is rapidly diminishing every time he uses it.

Skills: Julius is smart. Not your run-of-the-mill academic smart; anything he turns his hand to, Julius can pick it up very quickly. He's a natural strategist and has a good understanding of people and the human condition in general, however his usually kind heart prevents him from maximizing his potential for manipulation.
He also has some practiced skill at playing the piano.

Personality: Mild and reserved, Julius is very much what many expect of a Briton (even if this reputation is somewhat ill-deserved). Preferring to stand back and watch events before making a decision or getting involved, unless there is an element of danger, Julius can often seem to be a puppeteer or simply shy. He is defensive of his friends to a fault and cannot help but aid those in need; provided it doesn't endanger his friends (or himself if his capture/injury were to affect their safety).

Julius is the honourable sort and will take every burden upon himself rather than share it with others, rising to any challenge presented and never complaining openly about the difficulty of a task.

History: Accepted into every school he ever applied for, Julius was a star pupil in just about every field he applied himself to. He had a voracious thirst for knowledge, experience and skills which kept him busy at all times. Despite these successes, he only had a few friends but he considered them to be near-family in importance to him and the feeling was mutual.

Then Julius' mother died. She had been mentally ill all of Julius' life, often confusing him with someone called 'Bryan' and breaking down into a fit of hallucinations and self-harm. Shortly after his final exams she died from a brain hemorrhage leaving Julius alone with his abusive father. Julius' father reacted to any state of illness in his wife with violence towards Julius', blaming his son for any small issue or problem that presented itself; it was no wonder that Julius spent as much time as possible indulging in extra-curricular activities in order to stay away from home.

A week before he was to journey to Cambridge to begin his University education (having chosen the university over Oxford for it's more liberal leanings - he was accepted into both), Julius' father and uniformed men crashed into his room and drugged him into unconsciousness. Next thing he knew, Julius was awake in the House of Powers. There he met Diego, Maribeth, Allister and others.

Before breaking out, Julius' eyes were removed and he was shot in the leg leaving him with a permanent limp. He developed a secondary vision during his blindness using air movements as a sensor. In the proceeding months, Julius grew very close to Allister (and they picked up a stray yellow labrador puppy they named Caesar in jest) as she looked after him. During the months of pursuit: Diego and Julius clashed over their opposing thoughts on mercy, Julius' found he had a slightly older brother named Bryan who had been drugged into madness by their father, Julius accidentally killed his father in a scuffle with a knife and Bryan's eyes were surgically implanted into Julius giving him a small measure of his brother's secondary power of strength.

Looks good - simple but with depth! Also another inventive power - much approval from me.

Are the powers in this RP more science-based or are magical ones present too?

Pretty much anything goes. I personally prefer ones that have a science base (even if that science is woefully flimsy) but that's just my taste.

Whisket said
I'm curious about that as well, what limits are there if any?

No limits to the type of power but obviously, god-modding is as always a no. The RP has built in ways to make even the godliest of powers redundant ^_^.

I like the powers so far - inventive and interesting (like the catch on yours Whisket, with the requirement of a 'trade').
