Gifted

a part of “Gifted”, a fictional universe by fivehours.

New York City has always had a thriving underground community of powered individuals. Prejudice has long been their biggest rival, until a recent string of deaths has made a small group of young Gifted aware that their peers are being targeted.

    Hello, hello, everyone! Your friendly local GM here with an announcement!

    Cloud and I were hoping that you could all aim for your character sheets to be completed by the 3rd (MST) or the 4th (NZDT) (an exact countdown to make it easier for everybody), as at that point we will review all of the characters! To give you a better idea of what we're looking for- no, it's not how beautiful or aesthetically pleasing your sheets are (though, I know that there are some very talented people who just make these beautiful, amazing sheets. Like, I swear we have some graphic designers in our midst, but alas, as a mere pleb I can only marvel.), but rather, we're looking at the content of the sheet itself. We'd like to see some awesome, out-of-the-box thinking and creativity that's presented in a thoughtful and expressive manner. Though, not to disregard realism! Afterwards comes the acceptance of the characters and a full reveal of the cast on the Introduction for you all to check out! I know that you've all been working so hard and it's amazing to see these fantastic ideas.

    Those who will ask for a slight extension or have requested an extension will be exempt from the initial process. Because we take into account the reliability of the player (and God, I know a lot of the time it's not even your fault when things come up, so it's always a crap situation), those take longer might be slightly disadvantaged. We just want to ensure that everyone is getting a fair chance.

    All in all, I hope this cleared things up! We've already been peeking at the characters. I want you to know that Cloud and I totally appreciate everything you guys have been doing. Like, it's so amazing how you all, even with all of our nit-pickiness, have stuck with us.

    Hola amigos! This is Cloud, your other friendly local GM here! :)

    Dropping in to point out that a 'People & Places' thread has been added, though by now I'm sure you've all seen it. If by some chance you haven't clicked in to give it a gander, I'd recommend doing so when you have time! As the roleplay progresses fivehours and I will be adding any new NPCs or locations that are needed for the plot. :)

    I'd also like to take this opportunity to follow fivehours' example and introduce you to my characters. We have Casper Temple, the friendly ghost, the sarcastic boy with an excess of confidence. Then there's the diplomat's daughter who swears worse than a sailor falling overboard, Frankie de Vries. The second half of the Kipling twins, Toby Kipling. Toby's most likely found with his eyes rolling and an exasperated sigh on his lips at Bast's word vomit. Finally, my disney princess Jack Lacey, whose love of animals is only rivalled by his love of toffee. Just like me, they're looking forward to meeting all of your new characters :)

@Cloud I just wanted to let you know that I am entirely in love with Jack. He's simultaneously a Disney Princess and a puppy.
those who do not believe in magic will never find it.

    Just popping in to mention that I've added some playlists into the Miscellaneous thread that Cloud and I have made for the roleplay! If you're interested feel free to give them a listen. I find that sometimes music makes for great inspiration!

    The DSM XXVI and Blueshadow, so happy to hear that your characters are complete! I can't wait to give them a read!

    almostinsane, your extension has been noted :)

    Sounds good, tigerz!

    It's awesome to see all of the characters shaping up, guys! I just want to give you all a reminder that if you need extra time to complete your characters, request an extension by leaving a message here in the OOC or PMing either myself or Cloud! We're going to begin reviewing the characters tonight and the reveal of the characters will be happening within the coming day or so. Again, those with extensions will be exempt from this initial process, but we'll be taking them into account :)

Submitted my character! His name is Dylan and he's a mess!

Speaking of messes, my character sheet is messy so I'll be editing the formatting, but outside of that all of the actual text and info should be set! Let me know if you'd like me to edit or expound upon anything.

Excited!

Hi, y'all. I'm sorry that I haven't quite finished Maria, my work asked me to work an extra couple of shifts tonight and last night, so I was a little busy. I'll try to have her finished tomorrow, though! :)

Was trying not to do this, but I think I'm going to need to request an extension. I got dragged into doing sound crew for a play at my school, so I spent all of yesterday marking up stage cues and sitting in a sound booth instead of working on Kina like I wanted to. I'm going to work on her more today...I don't have much left to do. I just need to finish her personality, history, and her likes/dislikes. Thank you! (Btw...all these characters look so great...I'm blown away by how many great writers/designers there are on this sight!)

    Thanks for letting us know guys! Fivehours and I will probably make an announcement later regarding the deadline for those who have asked for extensions.

    Also, as I'm sure you've seen, we've accepted in our first intake of characters. I'd recommend giving them a read when you have time! I'm really looking forward to seeing how the story develops with our new characters :)

Tips: 0.00 INK Postby Layla on Fri Aug 05, 2016 2:31 am

    I am proud to introduce my babies and open my inbox to any discussion pertaining to our characters' relation.

    First, my oldest - who looks way younger than he is - Luca Verlac. He's gloomy and anti-social, with a razor sharp tongue to match an equally unpleasant Gift. The star quarterback fallen from grace.

    Next is Japanese-Korean Rika Yamada, who is the very definition of an extrovert. Wealthy, Insta-famous and painfully optimistic, she can often be found snooping through fridges or perving on unsuspecting youth (namely the poor, sweet, and very homosexual Toby).

    Lastly, my youngest from China, Ai Xue-Hua, is a misdiagnosed Gifted currently residing in the Manhattan Psychiatric Hospital. She's mostly just blind and confused.

    I've been reading all your skellies and I'm absolutely loving what I see! I'm very excited to be writing with such talented people.
