Hey now, he's becoming self-aware. Don't take that from him.

If the man's is asking for a ban, might as well give it to him. Good riddance.

Then you'd just be crying about why it's permanent instead.

Oh no, oh no. Someone warn his "roommate" Smarty's about to lose it.

I'm not sure anyone would be able to give you an exact breakdown. The major countries are canine (Biscotti) and felines (Gallete), and then there's... I have no idea, rodents (Pastillage)? There's other animals as well, but those are probably as minorities, though with a small group I doubt sticking to the numbers is necessary.
Oh huh, cool. Didn't know this wasn't the first time it's been used.
Greetings Xalt. Wasn't Knight Commander already taken?
Oh boy, it's time for Overlord-esque character to take the stage.
That means Summons and Puppets abound.

Well that sounds awesome. Giant robots fighting even gianter monsters.

Very unique way of making your a character a Healer, MusicWay, I like it, though would she be able to fix, for example, fractures and/or sprains?I actually want to be a photojournalist myself though X) I believe our characters will get along nicely.Zombehs, if you can write out how he got his weapons in the RP, then it's approved. I'll give DarkDissolver until Sunday, and if he doesn't post his CS until then, then you are in ^^Now I just wait for my stubborn friend to create her CS -_-
The weapons are just from his mother's family home in Texas. None of the things he has would be too hard for a licensed civilian to obtain.
Also, oh man. When Nathan meets with Della, Reactive Adaption + Increased Blood Flow + Long exposure time = constant adrenaline rush. :D
Well, it's up at last I guess. Tell me if the power needs to get changed or overhauled.
Name: Nathan Vickers
Gender: Male
Age: 27
Personality: Nathan isn’t the most serious person, but he does act his age and in a mature manner. Nevertheless, he’s been described as an energetic individual who isn’t afraid to do things, even if it might take more work on his part. In that same vein, he can be a bit hard-headed when he meets a challenge, often channeling all that energy into the task.
One notable aspect of his personality is most easily seen through interactions with others, namely his independence. He’s very much a self-directed person, not quite fitting into the leader-follower roles. Thanks to that mindset, he tries his most not to rely on others, while expecting the same from others. He won’t leave you to rot, but he’s not going to baby sit people either.
History: Born in America, Nathan didn’t spend most of his life in the USA. He was relatively young, only about seven years of age when a rather clean divorce separated his parents. Strangely enough, instead of remaining in his birthland with his mother, Nathan was brought over to Greece by his father. The distance didn’t keep him from either of his parents though, they were well off enough that Nathan often travelled to the States for the summer to spend with his mother and her family. There might not have been love between his parents, but they did love their child.
So, yes, he did live a pretty privileged life, being able to fly between and live in the two countries. Met a few interesting characters over the years on the planes as well. One of them convinced him to start Mandarin, though that was when he was quite young and still easily influenced. Another gave him a fascination with sleight of hand, dazzling the young child with just a coin and a deck of cards.
Following high school, the tradition was broken thanks to the mandatory service of Greece, but by then everyone was an adult and a few months off schedule didn’t mean the end of the world. He still went back that year, just a few months later, albeit that would be the last of his yearly trips back to the States. He still visited, just not as often as other responsibilities began to pile up.
He never did attend university, opting to enter the workforce directly after his mandatory service. Bouncing around from job to job, he never did hold one for more than a few years before he moved on. He was visiting his mother in lieu of leaving his fourth job in the past decade, when the whole debacle began and left him stranded in the States.
Power: Reactive Adaptation - Exactly what it says on the tin. Nate’s ability allows him to adapt to situations he may find himself in. He can’t exactly control which adaptations occur, but he can nudge his power in certain directions. Long days of constant marching will cause his power to kick in and improve stamina and endurance, while constant pressure may cause the brain to adapt to better handle the strain.
Power Limitations: At the moment the name is ill suited, since the power isn’t exactly reactive. It takes quite a bit of time for any adaption to advance to the point where it is useful, typically hours if not days. With further practice and experience, adaptations can occur in the span of an hour to minutes. However, adaptations always take time to reach their full effectiveness. At the moment, it may not be days or weeks until his adaptation “maxes” out so to speak, but more experience will reduce the time needed.
He is only capable of holding onto three adaptations for prolonged periods of time at the moment. In time, Nate will grow to hold up to ten, but that’s a long time in the coming.
The adaptation are within reason. Something like an increased tolerance for temperature extremes may be possible, but he will never be able to take a swim in magma.
In the same vein, his adaptations are mostly defensive or utility oriented. He will never gain an offensive ability with his adaptations, ie, firing shards of bone, spitting acid, etc.
Weapons: Bolo Machete w/ Saw - Your standard tip heavy bolo machete. It’s seen some use, but is well maintained. The back is ridged and functions as a saw, adding a bit of functionality. It’s still mainly a survival tool, but also serves well as a weapon.
M1911 w/ Red Dot & Suppressor - Standard .45 ACP round handgun. Fitted with a red dot sight and a suppressor, the firearm is for close range when he would rather not get up and personal. It’s not exactly stealthy, but at least it won’t have Demons flocking to him from blocks away. He carries around 10 standard seven round magazines loaded, in addition to ammunition.
Location: Texas
Other: In-state to visit family.
Has experience with firearms, though he doesn’t personally own any.
Fluent in English, Greek, and Spanish, Nathan is also conversational in Mandarin.
Does have military service, though it was quite some time ago. Still remembers the basics though.
He's agnostic if it matters.
Carries around a standard bug out bag, albeit with a bit more supplies than usual. It weighs about 50lb. so it's a bit heavier than he should be carrying, but for one reason or another it's not too much of a bother to him.

The Telltale Talismans [original magic/pseudo-steampunk world]--Interest Check

Huh, sounds interesting.
@Mistress. I was under the impression that Talismans were basically magical pieces of equipment, ie, a gauntlet with a complex rune array inscribed on it, a magical amulet with a jewel set in the middle, or maybe something as mundane as a simply wooden stick that's been infused with magical energies. Basically, almost anything would do. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong though Crawfish.

Ryutaro will probably give everything a quick look over, maybe try a few things associated with certain talents, ie, playing with a butterfly knife for Sleight of Hand/Device Manipulation, look out his window at the streets below for Observe, just small things like that.
Then he'll probably go about his day to day routine which will vary depending on the time of year until something big happens.
