Alright, since I'm lazy and was walking the dog (along with other various things beforehand), I'll accept those who I've read so far and get to my review over everyone else in a sec so I can get these three characters the posts they deserve.
... good to go. Put them in the cs tab if you could.
Piro, Dead, and Suku. I'll review your sheets soon enough and dissect em... though, I mainly have to type up some questions about Piro's character first, so I'll get on that.
And part of me realized there was some information I probably forgot to include (i.e. that no one would know where Palladium Academy is or that it exists, save for people who attend the school or live on the island, but even then they would only know that it exists... and the fact that ATLAS has multiple operatives out there who either have superpowers or not who keep a look out for potential candidates for one of ATLAS' academies, or superpowered people who seek to use their powers for more selfish reasons.)
I'll get to adding that in. If your character has superpowers, their family would probably be approached by an agent if they were non-powered humans. If they were a part of a superpowered family, then they would probably receive a letter of invitation instead... I think I covered all my ground here.
Also, I think I forgot to mention one thing to you and everyone else. The fact that genetics are tied to superpowers is not public knowledge at the moment. Only some people that are a part of ATLAS and the government will have access to this information. I'll read the rest of your sheet now, but right now, the only problem I have is that he knows that genetics are tied to superpowers.
Also, for anyone who might be confused at the full sign and the lack of characters to some degree, this is for people who expressed interest in the interest check. We have literally twenty-one members and three gms... so yeah, that's a whole lotta people.
So yeah, for those in the interest check who made it in before I closed it all, post your characters here! If you didn't express interest, I'll add you to a list of people who I will invite to the roleplay once it's open again. I also added slots, which means not everyone who displayed interest will be getting a spot. If you don't manage to make it, I'll put you onto the list of people to invite to the roleplay if it opens again.
That's all for now, ciao everyone! I've got posts, characters, and information to get down!
Alright, so Duoya, clubs, clubs... I had a list somewhere, but I'll get to you on that because I have something even grander, even more important to announce.
Lukas is a teen that boldly stands out at striking six feet and two inches, sporting somewhat of an athletic build with a fair amount of muscle to boot... despite his somewhat lanky appearance. Despite his supposedly prestigious lineage, his short, brown hair is an unkempt mess, comparable to a jungle. Pieces and strands of hair usually stick out here and there in random directions. On the rare occasion that he does brush his hair, there will usually be a strand or two sticking out. Just like the rest of The Kunze Family, his eyes are of a crimson hue.
His usual attire consists of a dark blue, well preserved blazer that looks almost store new; it has some simple gray embroidery lining all the edges of the blazer. To go along with that, Lukas adorns himself with a crisp, white shirt he wears underneath. Finally, to bring the whole outfit together is the centerpiece - a dark blue tie. Along with that, he wears black work-boots. The strangest thing about him, however, is the weapon and sheathe he carries. Located left side of his pants is a leathery tanned sheathe with a basket-hilted steel sword that appears to be well maintained.
The Kunze's, a rich German family who have adapted over time to assure that their kin are inherently superior, whether it comes to their lifestyle, or powers. While the way they approach things over time has changed, one thing that certainly hasn't changed is the way they handle their superpowers - telekinesis. This family looks to breed the best telekinetic users in the world and will do almost anything to ensure their blood will always have telekinesis.
Before ATLAS came into the picture, to showcase things off, they functioned as full-fledged vigilante's and kept their identities secret, as they felt those they fought and apprehended were not even deserving of knowing who stopped them. With their superiority complex, the way they still professionally handle things with criminals, and their semi-inhumane training sessions that push them to perfection in many ways has earned both fame and infamy amongst certain groups of supers...
However, they have earned the begrudging respect of ATLAS for their efficiency, and are usually one of the Family's they contact when their agents are strained on their missions, or certain superpowered humans are busy managing their own life. This has boosted their egos, causing them to be even more harsh with their training sessions...
And Lukas is no stranger to this lifestyle.
Born in New York to a wealthy telekinetic lawyer and demonic kindergarten teacher, Lukas' life had a jarring combination of being as lavished as it was grueling. He wasn't given any quarter to this knowledge as soon as the young child turned five. Despite his fathers protest on the subject, his mother managed to convince him and began a completely serious talk with the five year old Lukas. It was... rather difficult to keep his attention, but with enough cajoling and raising the harshness in her voice, she managed to finish explaining what their household stood for and what powers he would have.
Five months after the talk with Lukas, he ended up developing the powers, albeit at the expense of frightening both of his younger sisters. He was bemused and couldn't fathom what was happening in that time of panic. The mother was inadvertently contacted by her husband who explained to his wife that theirs sons powers had manifested. He also explained that he got into contact with one of his friends, who had the situation contained.
As the grueling day was brought to an end, Lukas' mother came home, finding her husband there with her two little daughters huddling behind him, asking what was going on with Lukas and if he was ok.
Moving past her husband and children, his mother found that multiple plates were broken, most of the living-room had been rearranged, and that two of the toys in the children's bedroom were suspended in midair. She found Lukas, sniffling and crying a little bit, the fathers friend, an ATLAS agent standing by the door. She thanked the agent for their quick intervention and took over, via using her own psychic powers to apprehend the toys. Thanking the man for assisting, he left the establishment as his mother went to comfort and soothe the small child for what had transpired... it took about thirty minutes before Lukas completely calmed down.
And then, that's when she launched into another explanation of what this would entail. She explained that Lukas was going to need a tantamount of training to handle his newfound powers and live up to the legacy, sounding somewhat depressed...
Eh, that wasn't important, as Lukas was going to learn how to control his powers... at first, he wondered if this meant he was going to be like his mom and have to wear a cool looking suit and kick criminals butts! Or "reform" them as his dad said. Either way would work for the young child, imagining that he would be like his heroic mother, father, or like spider-man!
And then there came the part when Lukas frightened his sisters, almost accidentally hurting them from time to time... and then there was his dad who was a bit scratched up... As much as he imagined being like his mom or one of the fictional heroes, the thing that pervaded his mind the most was making amends for what he did... at least, do the best of his abilities.
... well, after training at least. The next day, his mother took a day off from work to teach Lukas some of the basics, such as not losing control of his powers, learning how to handle certain items, and possibly discover what his limits were when it came to telekinesis while young... it does run in the family after all.
After that day past, that's when he began doing his best to make amends, ranging from helping his father or mother cook if they would let him assist, play with his sisters (and get shoved into ridiculous dresses), help with some minute projects, etc. This more or less ended up becoming common practice, and played a bit into him managing his time on stuff he needed to do.
Eventually after some time past over the manifestation of his sisters powers and training for all of them, most of the family would head to Germany each summer, starting around the time at the young age of ten. Of course, this wasn't any visit just for his mother to catch up with her siblings, or for the three children to meet up with the Kunze's... sort of. It was more or less to prepare some of the children for the rigorous training they would undergo when they were of the ages nine, ten, or eleven.
While they did chat and talk, it was more apparent that some of his aunts, uncles, and grandparent's dislikes Adriane, his younger sister. After some truly rigorous training that honest to god left most of them either passed out, hurting, unable to move, or just plain tired, he would usually lend an ear the best he could when she calmly spoke about how it was unfair to not include her.
Lukas did find that aspect somewhat strange since he did assume she saw the training and how much it took out of them, physically and mentally, just to perform what the family required them to do,per tradition... then again, he did start to question why she wasn't involved. When he asked his older relatives, they either just gave him a cryptic response, asked who "Adriane" was, question why he was asking them this, or told him to stop slacking and get back to training.
He found it even more bizarre when some of his cousins who were present at the time refused to speak up about this, gave a blunt "who" to him, or told him to pretend his own sister didn't exist. Lukas felt
With the way they acted, Lukas felt that this warranted a sort of call to action... but yet when he tried to do something about it, it always fell flat on his face. They just repeated the same old mantra's, same old speeches... he felt powerless, unable to do anything to alter their mindset throughout most of the summer... until eventually she appeared to be training along side them one day. Lukas thought that they finally allowed the girl to join them in their sessions... and as it turns out, she was there out of her own volition, lacking permission.
Jumping to her aid, he bad mouthed his cousins for their own repulsive behavior... and what happened next felt like out of a nightmare; he couldn't believe what was happening. The people he bonded with over the first portion of the summer ravenously tried to tear him away or injure his sister through the weights and training equipment they tossed at them both. It was just as appalling when his own uncle's and aunt's stood idly by, even encouraging the children to keep it up.
While this was brought to the head of the house, Lukas couldn't sleep that night, not after what he witnessed. The screams and items hurled at them could be comparable to a mob chasing down a "witch," and the fact that he knew that his sister wanted to cry after all this... but she held it all in and tried to do her best to stay stoic... but Lukas? There was a reason why he couldn't sleep that night.
Eventually, Lukas was able to find out that she was able to train beside them, much to the chagrin of the older members of the House. The bullying didn't stop, but he did notice that she would constantly take everything in stride and constantly push herself to perform better than the others... and as much as he wanted to support her in her endeavors, what kind of older sibling would he be if he let her surpassed him. Usually the older ones had to act as an example!
So in turn, he pushed himself to his own limits, continuously striving for perfection...
The training continued naturally each year, albeit with broken bones, a singed body, et cetera. They were to train the body as well as the mind you know... and he continued to view the mistreatment of his sister as nothing but a bad dream, something that would pass eventually.
After a certain event, Lukas finally came to terms with the family he was raised in, finally acknowledging why they tried to sweep his sisters very existence under the rug, and why they always thought so highly of themselves. They strived to create the perfect set of telekinetic users, ensuring their own superpowered superiority, as well as their "normal" superiority. He even learned of the past ways they disposed of those that weren't imbued with the powers of telekinesis, ranging from exile to death.
So, with that knowledge, he came to wonder why they didn't perform any of these deeds. Lukas speculated at the obvious, that his own mother was up to something that ensured the safety of his sis. There was also the fact that their grandfather was the current head, so he took that as another reason as to why she hadn't been removed one way or the other... But still, what could he do now?
Lukas never dispelled that thought as time went on. Eventually, he and many others began to set their eyes on a school to attend to further not only their own control over the mind, but the future of the house and their own welfare as well. There were a... few that chose to attend some of the less popular schools, while most of the Kunze Children (himself and his sister) opted to head to Palladium. Due to the large amount of Kunze's wanting to attend the Academy, there was a sort of dispute over who would attend where since the Family wanted to display their minute superiority over other supers...
... and luckily enough, his mother managed to ensure Lukas and Adriane a spot for Palladium Academy after a long dispute; their younger sibling was another story.
During the process of signing up and applying to join the school, he recalled the summers where rivalries amongst his relatives were created, as well as the information over how The Kunze Household worked. The strongest telekinetic user of the family would usually ascend to become the next head of the family. While that is the condensed version of how this process works, his goal became clear. Work his ass off, prove his worth, and ascend by a show of mental force.
He might of been just one person, but hell if he wasn't going to try and make some change to this system his family created. While he had his whole future ahead of him, he did have one definitive goal - rise to the top and succeed his houses head to become the next patriarch...
That way, he might not only change his sisters possible fate, but to ensure that no discrimination happens in the future against Kunze's who lack telekinetic powers.
Other Skills:
- Due to the, erm... strenuous training that went on with his prestigious family, he is able to take a punch (and a long list of other things), while returning one right back atcha'. But please, if you want to get personal with him ladies, then please keep your hands above the waist.~
- Due to his German heritage, he can speak and understand, well, German! While that's absolutely par for the course, there are times when he will slip up or misinterpret what someone says.
- Coffee, hoo boy, where to start. The boy loves coffee. Usually, one can find him up in the morning making a fresh batch of strong, minorly bitter coffee. It's pretty average coffee for the most part, but he's working on perfecting it, to say the least.
- Lukas is a bit of an amateur when it comes to fencing. He does understand all the ins and outs of it, but he still hasn't reached that point where he's masterful with it. To say the least, again, he is average.
- Finally, Lukas is a bit of an avid gamer. Usually he sticks to playing rpgs, or fps type games as he isn't really one for... strategy.
Power Set
Name:
Telekinesis
Abilities:
Disclaimer: Need permission from the other user(s) to affect their character(s) through Telekinesis to avoid power-gaming.
Lukas has the ability to manipulate matter with ease, controlling whether an object is going to shoot up or accelerate downwards. This can range from decelerating the speed of a physical weapon coming down on him, or completely stopping a bullet before ricocheting it back at the assailant. Lukas can influence up to six objects at one time, including his weapon of choice - a steel broadswords he can hurl at opponents to eviscerate, stab, or anything to cause loss of blood.
There are a multitude of ways he could utilize his superpowers, ranging from being on the offense, acting defensively, and mobility. Aside from the examples above, he could use his mind to pick up a hardened rock or table to block any incoming attacks before hurling it straight back at them. If someone tosses something at him, just redirect the item back to the sender. As for mobility? Lukas can just manipulate specific objects as long as he stands on them, or just control where his clothes take him.
Out of all states of matter, Lukas has the ability to manipulate solids the easiest, with liquids and gasses being just borderline impossible right now. While changing the molecular structure of any item is a bit out of his control, it is possible for him to change the shape of an object (i.e. bending and altering it, smashing two items together to try and "combine" it in a sense, et cetera). However, this process will take much longer than those with the specific power to modify said items.
Weaknesses:
Every Kunze has some psychic weakness they are born with, whether it be difficulty controlling a certain material to how long they can pick up objects at certain intervals. For Lukas, he can only pick up to six objects at a time. It doesn't matter what they are. For example, if he is picking up six bricks, Lukas will be fine to do so. Now lets change those bricks to feathers, and say he tries to pick up a seventh feather.
Sorry, no dice, he will struggle to even pick it up. Funny enough, the Kunze's also have another weakness when trying to exceed their limits. They end up getting a massive migraine and are unable to pick up any items with their mind for the next five minutes. All off the stuff they would be wielding at this point onward would drop to the ground. From what is shown, through enough practice and mental strengthening, this weakness will go away over time.
As a side note, he is unable to manipulate liquids, gasses, and other living beings. That's right, he can't even manipulate how a bird flies, how a caterpillar moves, or even another, sentient human-being... well, unless they're dead. In that case, it's fair game.
Another given is weight and resistance. At most, Lukas can currently lift up to six-hundred pounds with his mind... however, there is another catch. Lets say he lifts a table that weighs fifty pounds, with two plates that both weigh five pounds. He would effectively be lifting sixty pounds.
Other:
- Has an obsession with medieval weaponry and armor. In his old living space, he had a suit of plated armor in the corner of his room!
Profile : Student
Name:
Adriane Kunze
Age:
15
Gender:
Female
Basic Information
Appearance:
Adriane is a composed lady who stands at a striking six feet and not another inch to it, well above average height. Due to the type of clothing she wears, it's difficult to tell that she has an athletic build and a flat, but taut stomach. As par for most of her lineage, she ensures her long black hair is kept orderly and looks well maintained when she goes out. And to seal the deal, just like the rest of the Kunze Family, her eyes are of a crimson hue. She is also wears glasses since she's blind as a bat without them.
Her usual duds? Black, black, and more black. Riveting, I know. Adriane is usually seen dressed with a black turtleneck that goes past her pelvis by about four inches... dunno where the neck is. Underneath that all is a black sports bra and underwear that stretches to match her shape when she transforms. Finally, she wears easily removal black thigh-high stockings and black formal shoes.
Personality:
- Bitter - Disciplined - No-nonsense - Passionate - Perfectionist - Quiet - Reserved - Serious - Somewhat lonely - Vindictive to a certain degree
Backstory:
Being the middle child of her family was a little interesting, to say the least. Born from a telekinetic lawyer who had good connections due to her family and a kindergarten teacher with access to demonic powers of transformation, she came a year after Lukas, and would of been the youngest if not for her sister who was born a year later... yeah, her parents got very busy for these next few years...
For the most part of her life, she was privy to the same knowledge as her older brother over the fact that supers existed and that she was going to develop powers in the future just like her mom or dad. Thankfully, it was a lot easier to explain it to her than to Lukas, though at the time, she didn't know what to think of this whole "superpowered" side she had. While it did amaze her, she was a tad bit frightened about what might happen. Would she be good like her parents? Bad like some of the people who robs stores and steal candy from children?
This black and white view would soon be shattered after an incident in their household where Lukas went crazy. While there was screaming, the worst she got was a bruise from keeping her sister safe until their father intervened. Was Lukas going bad? Is she going to end up evil like him? While there was much sniffling going on, a strange man in black managed to take control of the situation and have Lukas go to his room.
Later that night, Adriane was struggling to sleep, always staring at her brothers room that was adjacent to hers. Would he go out of control again?
Eventually, she did regain her trust in her brother after not only helping her out and being all around friendly towards her, but demonstrating his control over his powers... the younger one was much easier to convince, but Adriane took a while... the two parents had to constantly have a talk with her over this subject, so that might of helped just a bit.
Over time, she began to question why her powers hadn't shown up when she was around six years of age; during that time, her younger sister was able to manifest her powers and user them in a much more playful manner, albeit through controlling liquids. During this time, she began to ponder if she wasn't born without powers... until one day, they became rather... apparent.
Adriane was forced to takes a few sicks days off from school upon mysteriously developing wings upon waking up one morning. She didn't notice it until looking in a mirror and began freaking out a little. Thankfully, this time both of the parents were home and were able to straighten things out, though her mom did have a fearful look in her eyes... did she find her abnormal?
Regardless, instead of going along with Lukas and her little sister to train with their mom, it was instead spent mainly with her father. While the training wasn't as difficult as her moms, she did take note of this and urged her dad to do the same with her. While reluctant at first, she did show signs of pushing herself even further and faster, always talking about her siblings endeavors... and in the end, while he didn't crumble, he felt it was no use to take it at a slow pace.
... and surprisingly, to him, she managed to develop two forms at such a young age. Him and his ancestors from what he was told usually had a second by the time they were twenty, and later easily developed more forms, some they were flexible with.
A month later after this newfound discovery, instead of going to train with her father, she was instead taken by her mom. Was she going to be the one instructing her? Why were neither her brother or sister in sight? Of course, that's when the bombshell was dropped about her family and how they might regard her...
...
...
As the days come towards her attending Palladium Academy, she doesn't regret how she mistakenly acted. She saw the real side over her moms bigger family and why she didn't want Adriane to go... she didn't want them to know about how Adriane wasn't born with telekinesis, she didn't want her to experience the pain of spending so much time with someone, only for them to turn away from her... but still, she didn't have to be smothered with affection and protection by her own damn brother.
They ignored her, hell tried to dispose of her from what she began to slowly discover over the secret attempts made on her life... when they were training their bodies against certain elements, she knew they would turn up the power on that chair, and try to fry her to a pulp out of sheer spite and the callousness that most children would have.
... and when she thought she was going to pass out from proving herself, he came to help her. Why? She could stand on their own, so why would Lukas always interrupt it when the time was right? She was going to show that her tolerance to harm was far beyond all of them! She was going to show her own physical strength and intellect could outlast the raw power of telekinesis... but even with her hard work, in the end, he would always come to interrupt it.
As these thoughts flow through the woman's head, she set out with two goals - to prove that she didn't need protecting and to shove The Kunze's system which fails to recognize her own powers back in their face... she would show them...
Other Skills:
- Due to the difficult and strenuous training that went on with her prestigious family, she is able to take a punch (and endure a lot of electrocution) with ease, while being able to counter with her own savage blows.
- Due to her German heritage, she can speak and understand the language. She mostly understand it and obsesses over ensuring she knows it better than her brother or sister.
- Since her father was the one who mainly educated her one her abilities as opposed to her mom or family, she would end up fishing from time to time when on breaks with her dad. She ended up getting pretty good at it and enjoyed this hobby. This also might play into why she likes seafood.
- Weights also usually played a factor into the training, but she excelled in this course, outpacing her cousins and her own brother when it comes to this. She enjoys bragging that she can bench-press fifty more pounds than her brother.
- When not on summer vacation, she took up some boxing at the gym and has grown to be a rather well trained rookie with a mean left swing. Adriane does understand the fundamentals of it all, but chooses to box without contacts, leaving her blind. While this was a detriment early on, she has learned how to offset this through studying opponents, predicting them, and having superior endurance.
Power Set
Name:
Demonic Manifestation
Abilities:
Essentially, this power allows Adriane to morph into creatures that look similar to what stereotypical demons would look like. While she can, erm, "unlock" more forms (it's more like create new forms), she has access to only two at the moment.
Her first form is what she likes to call the "Seductress Form." In this state, her feet begin morphing into hooves, making her a little taller than she usually is. Along with that, she produces a tail from her behind, sprouts unusable wings from her back, and gains two horns that protrude from her head. Finally, the biggest thing that this increases are the size of her breasts and butt. This essentially makes her look like a Succubus.
Adriane's other form is what she likes to call her "Combat Form." In this state, like her other form, her feet morph into hooves, sprouts (again) unusable wings from her back, and produces a tail from her behind. However, there are a couple of major differences outside of these three. For one, her size doubles, Adriane's skin becomes as black as charcoal, and her muscle mass increases along her body, displaying hardened abs, arms, and thighs. Her hands become elongated and twist into gangreled claws. Finally, her head changes into one of a goat, with very red eyes. This form basically increases her strength and stamina, along with her sense of smell.
Weaknesses:
So across both these forms, they share one similar weakness - transformation time. Each form takes about thirty seconds to transform and usually she stays pretty still when doing it since she needs to focus. Moving around would increase the time it takes to change by one to two minutes.
For each of the forms, they all have their own weaknesses. The seductress form can cause back problems if stayed in too long for one... ok, that's a bit of a semi-jovial quip, but it could happen, long term possibly. The key factor to take in is that she doesn't gain the powers of a succubus at all. The only thing she gains are these new body parts which can either go against her, or be used against her. When it comes down to it, she has to use her own feminine wiles to get anything out of this form.
Adriane's combat form, while having impressive strength and stamina is very, very slow. She can't move as fast, and can easily be led around by much faster attackers unless she plans accordingly. The other weakness is that in this form, she can't exactly wear her glasses properly. Topped with the fact that she refuses to wear contacts essentially makes her as blind as a bat. While she can use her increased sense of smell to seek a target out, if multiple types of odors or perfume pervade an area, it will be very difficult for her to track opponents.
As a side note, due to these two forms, she has been supplied with a female sports bra and underwear that can stretch to match either of her forms measurements.
Other:
- They enjoy cosplaying, surprisingly, but keep this as a lowkey hobby of hers. Has only cosplayed as Aeris from FF7, and Homura from Madoka Magica.
- Despite the fact that she could have contacts instead of glasses, she prefers glasses for some unknown reason.

I'm a bookworm, gamer, and obviously roleplayer since I'm on this site :P
Anyways, those are a few things that I'll say about myself... for now. Maybe I'll update this a little more in the future.
