The Guardian Angel Project {Revival}

Eh there is not much for me to say. I am an engineering student I am relatively new to forum roleplay, but I have played Pathfinder, D&D, Shadowrun and the like on and off for the last few years. I like reading science fiction and fantasy, and I have consumed my fair share of anime and manga, but I really don't seem to get into the popular series that much. It's a bit of a paradox. I didn't like LOTR, though I can appreciate it as a work of literature. I hate most anime and manga tropes with a vengeance, especially anything to do with a high-school aged protagonist, yet I love Naruto. I prefer stories that are kind of close to real life. For example I can list off a few locations from Fallout: New Vegas (Primm, Novac, Freeside, Jacobstown, Nellis Airforce Base) off the top of my head while I cannot do the same for Skyrim. This is partially why I joined this RP, I can more easily connect to a story set Twenty Minutes into the Future better than I can Middle Earth. Anyway, I hope to have a good time with this group when the action starts.

I do find it interesting how nobody has gone to the tower yet. Perhaps it feels like it would be too dangerous to utilize?

@DarkRecon can post now.

@Ariamis

Sorry about dragging my feet on that last post. Can I post after @DarkRecon?

@WeepingLibertyOK, I moved it over. do you have an idea of when we will start?

The Guardian Angel Project {Revival}

Kyle Yu

Name: Kyle Yu

Age: 26

Gender: Male

Appearance: Kyle is slightly taller than average at 5'11" and has a wiry physique. There is some faint scarring near major joints (knees, hips, shoulders, etc) left over from the treatment that gave him his power. His facial features testify to his Asian heritage, though his nose is slightly misshapen from an incident in high school. He usually has a pair of polarized sports goggles on his face or around his neck to help protect his eyes when running at speed. He keeps his black hair cropped short and his face clean shaven to avoid getting in the way.

Personality: Kyle is a very patient person. He likes to sit back, observe a situation, and come up with a mental plan before acting. He does find using his powers a rush, and takes great satisfaction in using them to successfully carry out a plan. Because of his powers, he often has to make efforts to not move too quickly for other people to keep up with him.

Motive: Kyle started out his law enforcement career as a Guardian because he grew up during the crime wave that struck the city in the late 2030's. He joined the police force as a detective to prevent that sort of thing from happening again. When he learned of the missing Guardians, he volunteered for the Guardian Angel project to prevent a second super-powered crime wave.

Ability: Super Speed. Muscle twitch optimization means that Kyle can move much faster for the same amount of effort. For example, running at highway speeds is a light jog for him and he can perform reflex actions in a fraction of the time it would take a normal person to do so.

Team: (I will give you this)

Extras:
- Kyle often wears protective clothing similar to biker armor that complements his powers. It provides stab and bullet protection in addition to protection against impact and abrasion. This is necessary since tripping at speed can be very painful.
- Fighting wise, he has continued to practice and hone the fighting skills he was taught in the police academy (unarmed, baton, and handgun) as well as taking up knife fighting.

@Ariamis Right. Can't believe I missed that.

Hearts of Metal: A Giant Robot/Mecha RP

@Ariamis Whelp, I shoulda guessed it was referring to the series about Humans fighting aliens for survival. :P

Whose turn is it BTW?

Hearts of Metal: A Giant Robot/Mecha RP

@Cassowarysaur That or the Command and Conquer Tiberium universe.

@ViridianHue

You're here now, and with a wonderful character. You are accepted as well.

@redbaron1234

Overall a great looking character and an accepted ability. Can I just ask that you put a little more into describing Kyle's appearance? If what you had was paired with a picture I'd feel a little more comfortable but as of now, it's a little difficult to picture him. Just some little things like height or weight, hair and eye color, maybe ethnicity... A few extra things to make picturing him a little easier would be awesome.

Other than that he looks great.

@WeepingLiberty

Here is my revised CS. I reworded a few things and added to the description. Hopefully what I have added works.
