X-Men: The Grinder Chronicles

Alex arrived at the school well on time. His sixteen year old sister had taken him there since their parents didn't want anyone, including their "help", to know about what school he was going to. They would have definitely been in for a shocker once they arrived. A lot of the mutants looked like they could pass for humans. Others however were completely different and made the term mutant seem more literal than it was. He wasn't the type to judge them on their appearance though. He turned to his sister and noticed that she looked nervous. He understood why. She was a normie. That's what he opted to call non-mutants.

"Don't worry, CC. None of these kids here will hurt you or me. We're all here for the same reason." Her name was Chelsea Clarke, but he started calling her CC when they were young and it just stuck. She was one of the people he could constantly talk to about being a mutant without worrying about her judging him. He even decided that he wouldn't read her mind unless he knew she was hiding something.

She gave him a smile to show that everything was alright, but she knew that if he wanted to he could have read her mind to find out if it was a lie or not. "Good luck out there, X. We both know that your future isn't behind some stupid desk. Go and find out what your destiny is."

Alex laughed a bit and said, "Sis, you know I don't believe in destiny." He then stepped out of the car and went to the trunk to get his suitcases. He already arrived before to drop off some of the other things that he needed like some video games, books, a TV, and other things to make his stay feel more like home. He watched as his sister drove off and headed to his assigned room to drop off the rest of his things. His roommate didn't seem to be there yet, but that didn't matter to him. He had to head to the auditorium and get to meet the people he'd be spending his time with.

The auditorium scene was a bore. He found some people to talk to that seemed cool. There was no problem there. Then things got a bit more interesting. He saw someone use their powers. It was a blue-haired chick that seemed to give the Vice-Headmistress some problems. That was someone he could see himself hanging out with. She seemed to have some super strength which was pretty cool. She could probably help him out with his powers as well.

He got up from his seat and looked around. This was it. His time as a free moment. He was now able to do almost anything that he wanted to. He couldn't wait to be able to use and expand his powers. "Now what to do first?"

X-Men: The Grinder Chronicles

Yeah, that's why I was wondering. From personal experience we got to our rooms before anything else so I'll just write that up in my post.

X-Men: The Grinder Chronicles

Currently writing up my IC post. Do they get their rooms before or after they go to the auditorium?

The Greek Civil War (Based on the Percy Jackson series)

@Knight of Doom That's fine with me. I'll figure out everything for the second character tonight and work on it tomorrow.

The Greek Civil War (Based on the Percy Jackson series)

I can make another character as well, but I'll work on it tomorrow. It'll either be a child of Ares or a rebellious child of Poseidon who to go against his father joins the Zeus side of the conflict.

The Greek Civil War (Based on the Percy Jackson series)

Name(First and Last): Dorian Underwood

Age: 16

Gender: Male

# Of Years You've Attended CHB: 3

Godly Parent: Thanatos

Which Side You're On: Neutral

Appearance:

Dorian wears a glove only on his right hand. Most of the students don't know why he wears just one. Underneath the glove his hand is skeletal. On his left hand there's a tattoo of a butterfly. He didn't get it himself. It appeared on his hand on the night he got claimed at camp. He typically wears jeans and a graphic tee when at camp instead of the typical camp t-shirt. He also typically carries around his sword "Reaper" at his side. Its primary mode is a sword of Stygian Iron, but it can also switch to Celestial Bronze. He tends to switch between the two a lot in battle mostly preferring to use Celestial Bronze due to it bringing less pain and torment to the enemies.

Skills: Dorian is surprisingly really skilled with a blade. You'd think that he would be better with a scythe and he honestly probably is, but chose not to use it since he didn't want to add to the death vibe that people at camp tended to get from him. Despite his more reclusive nature he's also skilled when it comes to easing people with his words. In the moment before battle he could calm down his allies with his words so they could focus in battle. It could potentially be a power, but he doesn't consider it so.

Powers: Peaceful Passage/Death Decay: His bone hand gives him two different abilities. He has since gained control over them, but still prefers to hide his hand with a leather glove. The first ability that his hand gives him is the power to ease the passage of someone dying. To do so he has to touch them with his bone hand and say a prayer. He only uses this if they're in intense pain from whatever it is that caused their death or is causing their death. The pain "removes" itself from their body, but the wounds stay.

The second ability his hand gives him is the power to cause decay on anything or anyone that he touches with it. Of course now that he has control of it he can touch anyone he wants with his hand without causing them to decay. The decay starts where he touches them and doesn't spread if his hand is removed from the body or object. The longer he has his hand on said object or person the more and faster they'd decay. It's dangerous to use in battle due to how fast paced fighting is.

Death Drive: This is another power that he was given from his godly father. This power seemed to be a counter of his skill with easing people with his words. This Death Drive is a literal representation of the psychological study by Sigmund Freud. He has an invisible aura that appears in the battle field that makes others around him more reckless and self-destructive in battle. For the first two years he had at camp he couldn't control it, but then he was able to focus the aura so that it only affects his enemies or none at all. He mostly uses this against monsters.

Underworld Passage: As a child of Death he's able to pass freely between the living world and the undead. He can't however bring anyone else with him.

Personality: Dorian is a bit of recluse. It's partially to his own doing, but also to the doing of others. Even though years have passed people were still wary about those being related to gods of the Underworld. He understood why and never held it against anyone. His dad was Death personified. This isn't to say that he's incapable of making friends. Some have even tried to be friends with him and he allowed them in, but not fully. He still holds secrets from others. He's really kind and does have a sense of humor though most of his jokes are death related. He can laugh at and make jokes that don't deal with death. He loves nature and nature seems to love him as well. He loves butterflies the most and he guesses it has something to do with his dad. They tend to rest on him a lot not fearing the presence of death around him. He finds himself wishing that he had wings just like his father so that he could fly away with them. He's more caring than anything and hates to see people in pain. He constantly wishes that he was a healer like one of the Apollo children, but he wasn't born so lucky. He's also pretty much just like an ordinary teenager. He deals with puberty, coming closer to adulthood, and crushes. Though who really wants to court Death?

History: The love story of Dorian's parents was a weird one, but it was still better than Twilight could ever been. His mother always seemed to have a fascination with death. She was weird like that. While at College she started interning at a morgue and after graduation she became a mortician. One day a man came in claiming to be a detective and was inspecting a body that had been found at a gruesome crime scene. As he looked over the body the two talked and talked for what seemed like hours. They had so much in common and it wasn't hard for her to fall for him. His schedule was weird, but he spent some good time with her. One night they finally had sex in the next week he told her that he was being transferred to Los Angeles.

She was sad and even wanted to go with him, but he convinced her not to telling her that her destiny was here in New York. What did he know about destiny? He was know Apollo. Nine months later Dorian popped out. His mother found joy in naming him after the guy who used a painting to cheat death. His life was seemingly normal for most of it. Monsters didn't seem to bother him as much as they bothered other demigod children. They may toy with a child of Hades, but who would want to mess with the first child of Death? No one knew what he might have been capable of.

Everything changed on his twelve birthday. His right hand became bony. He learned all too soon about his decay ability while playing on the playground. Fortunately he didn't learn about it by using it on a human child. He touched one of the chains on the swing and it started to rust and decay. He quickly ran home after that and told his mother. She was surprised about his abilities and urged him to hide it. She didn't know what people would think about him if they found out.

When the summer started he was brought to Camp Half-Blood by a satyr and started to understand more about himself and why he was so different from others. Things took a turn for the worse when he found out who his godly parent was. Most people stayed away from him and he became the outcast in a group of societal outcasts. He was the only child of Thanatos so he slept in his cabin alone. That changed when he learned about his ability to travel to the underworld. Whenever he went to sleep he'd slip into the Underworld to sleep among the dead. He found himself at peace down there.

One year later he met his father down there when he was about to go to sleep and instead of sleeping that night they talked and he even followed him on his soul picking errands. He told him why he was so special, but he wasn't buying it. Being the only child of someone didn't exactly make you more special than the other demigods. When the sun was about to come up he was given his sword "Reaper". He was more than glad that he wasn't given a scythe. If he did he might as well had put on a cloak and gained the rest of the skeletal look. From then on he continued to train with his powers and his sword to make something of himself. Not the uncontrollable child of death, but as Dorian Underwood.

Now he's heading to camp once again with a slightly better attitude.

<Snipped quote by King Kindred>

I might have a slight sway to my stature at the moment, but my head is clear and I am not flipping the bird at my computer, that ends with my computer hating me and we would not talk to each other for a week... That is very counter-productive.

@Dark Eternity

True and we certainly wouldn't want that to happen.

X-Men: The Grinder Chronicles

I am here, I am reading and I am slightly tipsy. Perfect mix to end an evening with checking through all the CSs of players and maybe throwing in the IC opening post, then.

@Dark Eternity

For some reason I imagine your Avatar as you looking at the CS's right now. Swaying side to side while reading them.

Greek Mythology/Percy Jackson/Heroes of Olympus RP

This takes place at the beginning of summer, right?
