Abilities: The Meeting (Open~Come Here to Prepare)

Tips: 0.00 INK Postby Zawtz on Thu May 07, 2009 3:48 pm

Since the beginnings of mankind they have existed. Some have lived in secret...others have chosen to reveal themselves. Those who reveal themselves usually don't survive for long in this hostile world... Sometimes they will band together, finding comfort in the company of those like themselves.

This roleplay will be the meeting of these extraordinary humans. Their abilities range from extreme strength to flight and even to invincibility. But they all have one thing in common. They are special and they must stick together.

We begin the adventure in an abandoned library in the United States that serves as a meeting place for those with abilities. Please fill our a character sheet and post it to this forum so I can approve of your character and ability.

Character Sheet

Once you have filled this out wait for my reply and once I get enough players we can begin the story.

Two Simple Rules:

1. Make sure your powers are within reason (no God-modding)
2. Try to have posts of at least a paragraph


(if I think of any others I will post them)

Might I join as a power-absorber? She has one base power, changing her appearance to resemble any human, real or otherwise, and can absorb pieces of the abilities, supernatural or otherwise, of those around her.

Yes. My character is a power-absorber as well (in a slightly different way) and I can't see why there can't be more than one of us. Just fill out a character sheet and you will be the first official member of this rp :)

Also just out of curiosity, once she absorbs the ability does she have it permanently? And is it to the full extent as the person she copied it from?

Re: Abilities: The Meeting (Open~Come Here to Prepare)

Name: James (Jimi) Severo
Age: 15
Gender: Male

Appearance: James is approximately five feet nine inches tall. He has shaved black hair and almond shaped brown eyes. He looks very Italian and has natural golden-tan coloured skin. Although he is slightly skinny he is also quite muscular and usually chooses to wear black wifebeaters with dark blue jeans. He has a small scar on his forehead from a childhood accident, and is showing signs of growing a small soul patch. James' dark eyes are always darting around and observing his surroundings.

Ability: {Energy Transfer}~ James can use energy transfer to do a few things. First, he can sap the strength from average humans permanently and make it his own by physical contact. If he holds on long enough it will be fatal to the person...probably between forty-five seconds and a minute. He can also "absorb" the abilities of others like himself that he makes contact with. This will leave them without their power for a short amount of time until they recover physically. Holding on to others with abilities for too long can also be fatal to them. Once he has absorbed the ability he has it permanently, unless he decides to convert it into a "boost". If the energy is converted he can touch another person and give them a "boost" which results in: A) Attaining a power if they do not already have one, or B) Adding some type of increase in a power that is already held by someone.

Attained Abilities: {Dream Walk}~ James attained this ability from his cousin in an accident while trying to figure out his power when he was younger. The accident resulted in the death of his cousin Augustus. With his power, James can consciously leave his body and explore the inner thoughts of others as if they where a physical reality. He can also choose to interact with that reality, which has a chance of psychologically affecting the person. He can even walk around the physical world while out of his body but is unseen to human eyes. The downside, however, is great. While dreamwalking James' body is totally prone and open to attacks. He can re-enter his body within about ten seconds of realizing something is happening to it. While using this ability Augustus can openly communicate with James and give him advice.

Short Bio: James was raised in a small town in New York by his mother and father. When he was fourteen years old he began to notice that he was different than everybody else, but could not tell why. It was not social, mental, emotional, or physical but the difference was definately noticeable to him. When he spoke with his nineteen year old cousin Augustus (who he was very close with) about this feeling Augustus told him that he was indeed different and that he himself had gone through the same thing. Augustus tried to help James figure out what his ability was but with no luck until about three months later. At this time Augustus was showing James his dreamwalk ability and left his body to explore James' mind in hope of finding a power. While Augustus was in James' head he told him to grab his body's wrist. As he did this he accidentally sapped all of Augustus' strength by holding on to long (since Augustus didn't know when to tell him to stop) and killed his body. Augustus' soul, however, was still very alive since he was seperated from his body, and now takes residence in James' mind. The accident was unexplained by police and James felt shunned by his family. This resulted in him running away from home and living in an apartment with his friend Sebastian. After a few days at the apartment, Sebastian told him about a meeting for people with abilities at a local abandoned library...

Personality: James is quiet and reserved when it comes to meeting new people but once he opens up he becomes very talkative and eccentric. In general he has a good heart and is extremely kind to those around him, treating his friends like members of his own family. He can find something that he likes in almost everyone. Ever since the accident with Augustus he has had an underlying sense of guilt that results in him sinking into melancholy on occasion, but usually he seems to be pretty happy. Although sometimes he acts dumb, or makes funny comments, he is actually very intelligent and has a way with writing his thoughts on paper. Before the accident he had a succesfull future ahead of him, but ever since it happened he feels like his days are numbered. To him, it feels like someone will eventually find out what really happened and come to get him. He doesn't fear death though...he expects it.

Other:
~Speaks English and broken Italian
~Is experienced in hand to hand combat due to boxing and karate
~Writes poetry
~Is plagued with terrible nightmares, so he rarely sleeps
~Always keeps a Saint Christopher necklace that was Augustus' in his pocket

Re: Abilities: The Meeting (Open~Come Here to Prepare)

Tips: 0.00 INK Postby Hunter in the Alley on Sat May 09, 2009 2:13 am

Name: Ryan Holins

Age: 23

Gender: Male

Appearance: 5 feet, 10 inches. Shoulder length brown hair, some black mixed in. Wears glasses. Often wears a grey hoodie and black cargo pants. Pale skin. Brown eyes. Very thin. He often has a paranoid expression on his face, as if being watched.

Abilities: Shadow Controll: When angered, Ryan can form dark balls of energy in his hands. As he does this his shadow dissapears, abosrbed into the energy. If a person standing next to him has enough anger, he can abosrb their shadow too. The more angry people, the more powerful he becomes. He can only use this power if he is A) Angered himself, B)He has a shadow. With only his shadow, he can only knock someone down with the energy. It would take a room of about five angery people for Ryan to kill. The more he uses this power, the paler he becomes and more black comes to his hair.

Demons of Desire: Upon touching someone, Ryan can see a demon formed of their evil desires. The demons always appear as a pitch black form, with glowing red eyes. They can take the form of almost anything, real or fanciful. Often these demons wil pester Ryan about the persons dark desires, and will keep pestering Ryan untill the deed is done. The more evil a desire, the more powerful the demon appears. A man who wants to kill some might have a demon that looks like a small man, while a mass murderer might have a gigantic beast. Only Ryan can see them, and they cannot do physical damage to anyone or anything. Ryan's own demon looks like a small Imp, whome Ryan will often talk to, though he has no name.

Short Biography: As a child, Ryan was distant. He often prefered to be by himself, reading books or talking to what appeared an empty space. He never did like any of the other children, but often knew their secrets. It might've been an accidental bump in the hallway, or being beat up by the bully. His only friends where the things no one else saw, their own inner demons. Often he knew of his teacher's wish to have an affair, a bully's hateful father, a child's harmless crush turned to lust. His conversations were often private, him and the demons, untill he realized that he had ignored one. A small Imp like creature, never speaking, always watching. When Ryan asked his owner, the Imp simply pointed at Ryan. When Ryan asked it it's secret desires, it merely pointed to him again, Ryan's secrets were his, the only one with controll over such things. Demons were small back then, maybe a toad like thing, maybe a butterfly. IN highschool is when rhings really hit him. Demons, the size of fully grown men revealed fantasies of murder and rape. One day came when Ryan was being mugged. He had been beaten bloody, left to die on a side walk. THe Imp finally spoke: "Kill him." It hissed. Ryan did nothing. "I said kill him, it what you want! Revenge for years of a pointless existence!" Ryan raised to his feet. Depite a shining sun, Ryan had no shadow. He flung a base ball sized heap of dark matter into the back of the man's head knocking him down. He kicked the man to death, and the Imp sat grinning. Ryan now wanders about, talking to walls, whispering to dark corners. Always knowing the deepest, darkest secrets.

Personality: Ryan is paranoid of the dark creatures, so he is very jumping. He likes to be alone, and doesn't talk well to others. He appears to space out a lot, when he infact is listening attentivitly to a demon. He thinks aloud alot.

Other: The Imp will only speak to Ryan when Ryan feels he is completly powerless to do anything, often triggering Ryans hidden power. The fact the the IMp is mute does not stop Ryan from talking to him. If he comes in contact with a pure hearted individual, he receives a small electric shock.

If I go through with my character using his power on the man, I need to know a bit more about him as a person, if you want you can PM me details that you don't want others to know that's fine, but also you can not tell me anything. It's your RP, so you decide, and based on your descison I will mold my next few posts around it.

Vincent Wolfgang is somewhat of a neutral person. He is slightly insecure with himself and although he does not anger easily, he falls into a terrible rage when he does. He is also very selfish and a borderline sociopath. Everything that he does is for his own benefit or to help him with his self-image.

And to klikxx, i'm looking forward to your character sheet :)
