@Savo

Okay, so add an agent coming to tell the parents about the school. Anything else I need to change?

@Savo

Oh, okay! I'll take that out then ^_^

Rereading the intro, that makes perfect sense. Sorry about that.

Oh, forgot to mention, neither character has a human name yet, so we'll have to come up with those ^_^

Palladium Academy (Another Superpowered Highschool)

Even so, I can already feel the tension rising through my computer screen.

... anyways, we, the three gms shall begin to judge ye two and your characters. Beware.

@Savo

Ahhh! Judgement!

*Throws hands in the air*

I didn't know, I swear!
(Although when I mentioned it in the interest check the GM did say there'd be a lot of those types of powers)

In all seriousness, I'm pretty sure we're good though. Their abilities are different enough that it shouldn't affect anything. His regeneration is only a secondary effect to his Sacrifice ability anyway, and it's nowhere near as good as Samson's. You cut off one of Galen's limbs, it's just gone.

@wxps350

Whoa, 2 characters with regeneration-type powers posted within a minute of each other! What are the odds? XD
They're vastly different power sets, but that's still kinda funny ^_^

Palladium Academy (Another Superpowered Highschool)

Here he is! Left his backstory rather vague on purpose, but all will be revealed in time ^_^

Let me know if I need to add or change anything.

Character Sheet

Profile : Student

Name:

Galen Ryker

Age:

18

Gender:

Male

Basic Information

Appearance:

Galen has white hair and brilliant blue eyes, but his features are otherwise plain. His jawline is undefined, his nose slightly larger than average, and his eyebrows bushy and prominent. Galen cares very little for his appearance, and as such is usually in a state of disarray.
His hair is kept short so he generally doesn't have to bother with it, but when it grows out a bit it is constantly messy. Galen is fit,
but not body-builder fit... more strength than show. He dislikes form-fitting clothing, but isn't terribly concerned with covering his upper body either. When given the choice, he usually wears a loose-fitting tank top and jeans or cargo pants. The only downside to this is that it allows people to see the scars that cover his arms (and the rest of his body) from various wounds he has healed.

Personality:

-Active
-Playful
-Caring
-Reckless
-Friendly
-Easily Distracted
-Naive

Galen doesn't care much about himself. Even though there is no proof of where superpowers come from, he firmly believes that his was given to him for a purpose-to help others. Of course, since helping others means hurting himself, his ideology couldn't survive if he considered his own life above others. So he doesn't. As far as he is concerned, he was made to serve and to help. Galen believes in the best in people, and is therefore somewhat naive. He is trusting to a fault- one of his biggest flaws. Another is that his disregard for himself leaves little room for self-reflection, and he often doesn't realize the recklessness of his actions or the emotional or physical toll he will have to deal with based on his decisions.

Backstory:

Galen Ryker was the first in his family to have superpowers. Actually, he was the first in his entire town. Not that that was all that impressive, considering the town consisted of only a couple hundred people. After discovering his healing ability at age 7, his parents were thrilled. That is, until they saw him heal another person. The self-harming aspect of his powers scared them, and they forbade him from using it.
But Galen had other plans. As he approached his teenage years, he began to rebel against his parents' ruling, claiming they "just didn't understand." He had these abilities for a reason, and he intended to use them. His idealism drove him to desire life as a hero. He started sneaking out and visiting local hospitals, clinics... even animal shelters. Unused to the pain at first, these visits would leave him incapacitated. Yet he kept going.
At first his parents tried to stop him, but that only made him more determined. When he healed a fatal wound and nearly died (the only time he's managed to control the extent of his power) he was put into a coma for nearly 3 years. He wanted to start working instead of going to school, since he would now be so much older than any of the the first-year students at a normal school. A few months after he awoke, a nurse from the hospital he was in showed up at his door, claiming to be from an organization for superpowered people. She said she had seen him sneaking in to heal the patients (much to his embarrassment), and offered him a place at a school for people with special abilities, provided his parents allowed it. His parents decided to send him to Palladium Academy in hopes that they would teach him not to be so reckless with his abilities.

Other Skills:

-Athletics
-Singing (although getting him to do it in front of other people is near impossible)
-Baloon Animals

Power Set

Name:

Recovery

Abilities:

-Sacrifice: Galen can transfer physical pain from another person to himself. Wounds have the same effect on him after the power is used that they would have had on their original recipient. He can control the extent of this power (allowing him to share and reduce pain but not entirely eliminate it while maintaining more of his own strength), but has not yet learned to do this reliably. At this point in his development, his power is still largely in the "all or nothing" stage, so healing a lethal wound is highly likely to kill him. Because of this ability, Galen's pain tolerance and self-repairing abilities are far above that of the average person. While he is by no means invulnerable, wounds obtain both physically and by transference through his Sacrifice ability heal about ten times as fast as they would on the average person. (ex.- A minor leg fracture usually results in around 8 weeks of recovery time. After breaking his leg or healing someone else's, Galen would be mobile again in 5-6 days)

Weaknesses:

-All or Nothing: At his current stage of development, Galen cannot reliably control the amount of damage he takes from the person he is healing. Therefore, it is common for him to incapacitate himself by taking on more than he can handle. This is especially dangerous with wounds that do not appear to be as bad as they are, as he doesn't fully know how painful the transference will be until it happens, and the shock can have an effect on him.
-High Metabolism: Galen's regeneration may allow him to heal faster, but the accelerated healing still consumes the some amount of energy as the regular healing process would. This results in extreme fatigue and hunger if not properly tended to. In order to maintain a normal state of being, he must consume about twice the amount of food as a normal man.

On Good and Evil (M or F Welcome, 18+ Preferred but not Required)

So here's the idea...

Everyone (well, at least most people) have some sort of conscience. There have been many theories about the human "soul", everything from complicated religious structures to children's cartoons featuring angels and devils arguing over a character's shoulder. Turns out, the cartoons weren't too far off. At the moment a human being is conceived, 2 other being come into the world- one "good" and one "evil". These invisible, powerful creatures feel no emotion other than an insatiable drive to complete their missions, which they have known since their creation. These they cannot and do not question. The Iustus, the "good" being, is tasked with keeping the child on a moral path. Its concerns are with selflessness, honesty, duty, and a sense of justice. The Scelus, or "evil" being, is determined to keep the child on a path of selfish ambition. Thus it values self-preservation, pleasure, ambition, and vengeance.

The strength of each of these beings determines a human being's outlook on life, and the way they view the concepts of good and evil. Most of the time, their powers are relatively balanced- hence the general concepts of morality agreed upon by most of the world: things like "fairness" and "revenge". Yet every so often one is created much stronger than the other. These result in the great heroes or villains of the world. Most ancient philosophers had either a strong Iustus (think Plato and his concept of "the good") or Scelus (think Hedonism). Same goes for religious leaders and icons, or leaders of political movements. Anybody with a set of ideals so strong it could change the world. As for those without a conscience, their beings were never created for some reason.

At least, that's how it's supposed to work. Enter Jason - a boy with no conscience. It's uncommon yes, but not unheard of. Except he wasn't conceived that way. Jason had and Iustus and a Scelus, both at the exact safe level of power. Perhaps this is why things went wrong. Whatever the reason, both creatures were separated from their host, manifesting in physical forms. Both trapped in the human world, they have begun to develop emotions. Constantly at odds because of their opposite personalities, both are determined to be figure out what happened and get back to guiding Jason, preferably without the other one there. But human emotions are... complicated. And the two beings may soon begin to realize that the world isn't as black and white as they'd like it to be.

Well, that's my idea ^_^ I'll work on fleshing it out a little more once I see if anyone is interested. I'd be willing to play either character, and they can be either gender. 18+ is not required, but if you aren't that old, please let me know so I know what topics I can safely get into. (Nothing too vulgar regardless, that's not really my style.)

Puppies are the light that destroys all darkness. Those who are not weak to them have no soul.

Also, welcome to the guild ^_^
