I think that would make her too powerful, though. Also, wrong origin story. XD

I'm not sure that I really want to get involved inn the ongoing training situation thing, as I've barely any idea what's happened or what's going on. ^^;

The League - Superhero Sci Fi and Urban Fantasy RP

I have no objections to being the weakest. Invisibility and any kind of offensive ability is a terrifying combination, and I don't think there's all that much that could come in a package with invisibility, anyway.

So, how can I actually get involved in the IC? XD

The League - Superhero Sci Fi and Urban Fantasy RP (Nearly Unlimited Recruitment)

Name: Rachel McDowell

Codename: Phantom

Age: 29

Gender: Female

Place of Birth: Scotland (most recently Stirling, before emigrating)

Affiliations: None

Occupation: Fast Food Worker, former thief.

Appearance: Well... here's the thing: Rachel has no appearance. In the strictest sense, she's invisible; short of painting her entire body, you aren't going to get much in the way of an appearance out of it. The actually important thing is that she's tall and rather lanky; Rachel is just over six feet tall and from the outline of her clothing is definitely rather thin. The other thing important to people is that, having had long hair before losing her visibility and being rather hard to give a haircut afterwards, Rachel has extremely long hair. There isn't terribly much that can be done about it with her current appearance.

Powers: The ability to be completely and perpetually invisible: if it is part of Rachel's body, it is something that cannot be seen. This is a rather flawed form of invisibility--whilst it extends throughout the entire electromagnetic spectrum, it doesn't happen to affect such things as her clothing, or random sticky stuff thrown onto her. Or, in fact, any small items that she might want to carry upon her person for the purposes of getting into places.

Most key, really, is the fact that it cannot be turned off.

Skills: Excellent gymnast, and Rachel has a masterful knowledge of security systems--though more from the viewpoint of disabling or circumventing them than operating the things. On the side, she's an acceptable chef (making the indignity of her current employ even worse) and knows a smattering of martial arts--enough for basic self defence, but not all that good in a straight fight against someone who actually seriously practises this.
Her ability to improve is seriously hampered right now. Hard to get better at fighting when you have an advantage such as invisibility.

Equipment/Resources: Well, there's a thin band of lockpicks. That is literally the sum entirety of Rachel's equipment, and if it isn't infiltration-related, she'll drop even that, for the purposes of making the most of her ability. Aside from equipment, she owns a rather nice house from the proceeds of her previous employment--and has a nice fund of cash to supplement the income she gets from her current job.

Weaknesses: No protection, she's at serious risk from friendly fire due to being an unintentional target--thus requiring that she try and keep an eye on everyone to not horribly suffer, and she's highly vulnerable to such mundane tactics as a bag of flour or splattering mud or paint around. Obviously, she has no protection against echolocation or the like.

Getting better equipment, unless it is equally undetectable, also makes her more vulnerable. Lose-lose situation!

Psychological Profile: Rachel has always struggled with the chance to take 'the easy path', to relax and to just breeze through life on the minimum acceptable effort--whilst she was still a chemistry student, this was easy enough to resist simply by working hard to try and get the best possible result (and drinking and having fun on the side). When that fell through... crime was the easy option, and crime does pay when you're as hard to catch as an invisible person is.

All-around, Rachel is gregarious and rather relaxed--overly burdened by guilt due to her previous career choice, perhaps, but she gets on with people for the most part, and doesn't get too worked up about most things. Implications that people cannot reform, or that crime is utterly impossible to make reparations for, however, get quite a response.

And that's when she slips into her normal, rather strong, accent.

Biography: Originally, Rachel was a chemistry student, with the aim to hopefully get a job in a major pharmaceutical company, or at least some industrial conglomerate. This all rather turned pear-shaped when a lab accident splashed her with a thus-unforeseen concoction. At first, this bafflingly did nothing to either her or the labcoat that she wore at the time.

As time went on, this caused occasional bouts of invisibility, though at first they happened whilst Rachel was in private. Once they started to happen in public, she began to be seriously concerned about what this could mean... before eventually becoming a permanent fixture of her life. For a while, she tried to remedy this through facepaint and the like, but the empty eyes and sheer fakeness of the result convinced her that trying to hide it through thick and heavy clothing whilst attempting to finish her degree was the best option.

Naturally, this plan fell through--with only a fake, ludicrous appearance, it was hard to convince the invigilators to accept her identity, and with a string of failures in her exams, there was little more that the invisible woman could do. She fell to the most obvious profession for one of her abilities: thievery. Even once she learned to get through locks, security cameras simply didn't have the resolution to track the small items she carried, or even the things that she stole; they were completely impotent and soon enough Rachel found her way around the more fancy stuff.

With nothing to trace but 'invisible person', Rachel didn't exactly have much to fear from the police--worst case scenario was that she ran away and left no trail that could easily be traced. Her conscience, however, was something that remained, and post-Awakening she seriously considered how she could make up for stealing enough to give her a comfortable life. All the heroes were congregating in the USA... and she promptly chose to emigrate, and try to help to make up for her previous crimes.

It remains to be seen whether this will work, or whether her past thievery will catch up with her.

Horu Sentai Gemranger!

Topaz and Citrine are also golden, and actually gemstones.

Character Crossover Crisis City

If I can think of something suitable.

Archetype-Avert the End

Disentangling herself from the available bust, Akira swiftly brushed herself down and slipped through the gathering crowd to pick up her case and cane. The first was locked--apparently by key, in reality by an electric system where the codes to open it were only present back with Angeltech and inside her mind--but it would arouse suspicion if someone picked it up and found out just how heavy it was. Squeezing more ammunition into the case than it could normally hold did little for its weight. With her goods retrieved, the hat bobbed its way back to the front of the group.

"I'll join!" she said, raising her hand to make sure that she got noticed; not that it was all that hard: she was the only student here not in uniform, which was rather a poor idea on its own simply for the sake of blending in but also due to how fancily the robot girl was dressed. It gave her the benefit of a few more inches of height and clothing that wouldn't promptly get destroyed if some of the [INSERT NAME HERE] showed up and had to be fought off.

A school uniform might be hard-wearing, but it wasn't that durable.

Archetype-Avert the End

Still means I've made a mistake in the first place.

And now I am going to be self-conscious about my posts for the whole RP. :P

Archetype-Avert the End

I shall cheerfully avoid the language at all costs and try and dodge culture because then I end up spending forever reading random webpages as I try and work out if I'm making horrible mistakes. <_>

Archetype-Avert the End

Yes, mashing your face into someone's bosom is a bad idea. So is running at them full speed when you're small. B leads to A. Silliness is the order of the day. : D

Archetype-Avert the End

It was a wonderful day full of new discoveries for the school's only robotic pupil, and she was humming cheerily as she left the school building. It was rather easy for a day to meet those criteria for someone less than a year old, which did a lot to explain her generally upbeat demeanour despite doing an awful lot of high-powered fighting at night, and her programming had never thought to include all the many types of food, or TV show--just enough to get by on a day to day basis without sticking out too much.

In fact, 'not sticking out' was why she had received a new instruction just this morning, to help her blend in with normal school life more: Akira had been instructed to devote some of her free time and energy to joining a club. Which club was entirely up to the girl herself and she had made plans to come back when clubs were ending and ask people as they left, whilst also having had something to eat and changed into her normal clothes. She'd been hearing all these wonderful things about egg-fried rice and really wanted to try it.

The food was every bit as good as Akira had imagined, and she returned with both coat and hat, as well as her weaponry-related paraphernalia.

That was when she saw it: an advertisement for the most amazing-sounding club! She was too late to join on a the normal recruitment day but that didn't seem to matter as someone was here, advertising! The small girl sprung into action at this, smoothing her skirt down, then getting down, into the right position...

... and breaking into a sprint.

A small, ponytailed robot slammed into Hanako's chest, leaning at a precarious angle due to slipping as she braked at the last minute, and cheerfully announcing her intention to join the club. It was rather muffled by the taller girl's chest, however.

"Squishy."
