Children of Tomorrow - Signup Thread

Well, i'm thinking of two possibilities, reduce the power I stated and add to it as he grows, like right now he can only see bone structures and any problems, then as he ages, he can see muscle tissue, then organs etc. Or, he can have all that as of now, and as he gets older he has a kind of disruptive effect on them, he is a melee fighter, so perhaps he would have the power to disrupt the cartilage surrounding bones if he hits that spot, or he can shut down the nerve endings in a certain area etc. Or perhaps a little bit of both.

Organ Failiure man!

Uh

I see you have a nice healthy kidney there, be a shame if someone DESTROYED IT

• Name: Ionia Drevis

• Age: 10

• Appearance: Close to what her face looks like.◊ Her body however is petite and somewhat grown to what a normal ten year old has. That doesn’t mean that she’ll mean anything in a head on fight.

• Personality: In the briefest sense Ionia is humble, if not, innocent girl. She knows what right and wrong is, yet she is scared to even defend herself with her powers because she doesn’t want to harm anyone. However at the brink of despair or when she’s pushed to the limit she’ll go all Higurashi on people.

• Powers:
  • Physical Prowess: Being weak in the strength category, Ionia has that made up by having the innate ability to perform impossible flips, wall

climbs, and even double jump in mid air. With this power, she also can latch onto any surface with any part of her body. (Sort of like spiderman.) However if she wants to punch someone, her damage is very low. Because she’s a 10 year old. (Of course, when she gets older she’ll get stronger.

• Super Conscience: Obviously, the little girl was not made to be a tank or one child army. However, the girl was made with a remarkable mind. Not with a mind that can solve all equations, but with a mind that has developed another entity altogether. The entity goes under the guise of Amaranth, and with its direction the girl is suggested where to go and what to do. (Please do note that Amaranth is a CONCIOUS being, not a REAL one.) Also, with this ability it is impossible for someone to hack into her mind because Amaranth will just counter it and steal information.

As for powers, the ghost can take away all feeling from Ionia's body, causing her to not feel pain or anything. (However this power can only be used for a certain amount of time due to the physical constraints of a ten year old.) Also, Ionia can connect her mind with other people if she puts her hand against their head. Then with Amaranth's presence, she can sort of "Overload" their brain. (However the person has to be snuck up on, not charged in a fight.)

• Abilities:
  • Greek History and Literature: She is a giant geek for it. From everything from the creation of the gods to Poseidon’s Wrath against Odysseus, she has or is going to read it all. Hell, if one were to put it into perspective, Ionia just might ‘’believe’’ in Olympus.

• History: Created by the company, Ionia new not of what she was or what she was destined form. Instead she lived as the happy daughter of Liam and Lindsey Drevis. Under their custody the family lived happily and under close watch of the Organization that put the little girl there. However, before the Organization could even think about scooping the girl back up, Ionia's mother was killed in a car accident. This not only dramatically hit Ionia like a bullet to the head, but it changed something in Liam. Only a few days passed when the father started to contract symptoms of a mental illness, however no one thought that Liam would mistake her adoptive daughter as his wife. It was obvious that she sort of had Lindsey's hair, her innocent attitude, and even her smile, but her size was different. However that didn't stop Liam.

When the Organization rolled up to the front door it was seen that Liam was eviscerated by the various knives in the kitchen, but what stuck out to the guards was that the man's skull had broken from the inside.

(This is the part where I honestly draw a blank...)

• Other: The details of the break are in the GM’s hands because I dunno if I have to break on my own or be with the initial group that broke (If they broke out already) Also, I have a bad habit of spelling things wrong and writing things grammatically incorrect. If you guys have trouble deciphering what I say please ask, “don’t be a dick.”

Wow, the fire channeling may be too much.

Uh

I'll give this a shot.

• Name: Phil Mason
• Age: 9
• Appearance: A heavy-set, 'bully-shaped' child, standing a half foot or so above the average height for a child of his age. He's black, but his heritage leaves him with more ambiguously arab features, like most of the people on his mother's side of the family. He's not a stickler for diverse fashion; his everyday apparel amounts to one of a few assorted hoodies, bluejeans and his favorite pear of boots. Even the worst Summer weather doesn't change that.
• Personality: Though he's acquired a bit a short fuse and a preference for smaller groupings of people, he's a generally well meaning and idealistic child. He plays by the rules more often than not, but isn't afraid to speak his mind about an order he doesn't understand, or feels uncomfortable with. He's at his worst when he breaks into fits of rage, usually due to teasing or stress. Likes to learn, but can be lazy in applying his knowledge, or slow to reveal what he knows in fear of being treated like a know-it-all. Finally, he's a relatively faithful member of a prominently Christian background, frequently referring to said faith for big decisions and as a means of regulating his violent outbursts.
• Powers: Glass Manipulation. At the moment, maximum amount of glass he can manipulate would form a 10ft. by 10ft. pane. He also has to establish direct eye contact with the glass As his powers develop, the quantity of glass he can manipulate will increase; he'll also be able to manipulate glass that he simply knows is there, dividing his attention less often.
• Abilities: A slightly above average intellect for a child his age, and a good bit of bulk to back that up. Took to Amateur Beekeeping about a year ago, and can hold an educated conversation about bees for hours on end. Good critical thinker, if lacking in initiated , and makes for a decent teammate if put with people he's comfortable with.
• Backstory: Due to relationship issues in-between his parents shortly after he was adopted, Phil ended up living in-between two houses. However, neither provided a particularly hostile environment for the boy, so the only issues with that came during the discussions about which house he'd being staying at as per the joint-custody agreement. He has an older sister at one house, and a baby brother at another, both of which he loves, but has periodic problems relating to due to the age gap at both sides. His mother's house wasn't in the best neighborhood ever, which lead to his discovering his powers at the age of eight. It began when he'd spotted mugger who'd made the eight o'clock news trying to climb through the window when he was sleeping alone in the living-room. In his attempt to tackle the man back outside and shut it, he'd found that the criminal was blown off the porch before he'd made contact, absolutely riddled with glass shards. His parents (and his therapist) tried to tell him that the man must've put to much pressure on the window trying to come in, but Phil was confident in what he saw. The fact that he'd managed to start moving other glass objects like cups and kitchen appliances a day after the incident was assuring enough.
• Other: He carries tweezers and a roll of bandages in his backpacks. Trial and Error testing hurts.

To the law and for the good of man. All I need to live by.

I know I'm not Gm here but, john...

I was guessing that would be the case. If it is, I'll try to put another, more reasonable power. Fire kinda clicked in my head because I wanted to write a little girl walking down the street with her arms burning away to show a sort of super-heated rock for her innards

Idk.

Now from hearing that, fire is gone and Amaranth's power is changed. It's just a girl with super agility and enhanced... entity for a mind.

Or is that too much?

I mean, i'd like an offensive power too. Doesn't have to be fire or anything elemental. Just something to make her, idk, bare minimum for a fight in this RP.

Normally I'd fess up to something I overdid, but in this case I don't actually know what's the issue.

I think he was talking to me.

Ah, that makes more sense.

To the law and for the good of man. All I need to live by.

@Ulqahart: Sounds good. Accepted. Edit your sheet and go to the discussion thread to figure out which group you're on.

@John Statham: You're going to have to choose. It can be a girl with enhanced senses and agility, or a girl with a conscious entity in her mind. Since I know you're going to choose the latter, let me just go ahead and ask what do you mean by "with its direction the girl is suggested where to go and what to do" and how does the entity overload someone's brain?

And then there's the history. First, " Ionia new not of what she was or what she was destined form" not only has a crapload of grammatical errors (which is still a problem, even if you told us about it in the "Others" section), but it seems to imply Ionia knows that she was created by the Company- which she doesn't. Second, I doubt the Company would let their creation under the protection of someone who's developing a mental illness. Third, if Ionia knew enough about her powers that she overloaded her father's brain, then she would have been collected a long time ago. And fourth, "no one thought that Liam would mistake her adoptive daughter as his wife. However that didn't stop Liam."? No. No no no no no.

@goodisgood: Seems good too. Go to the discussion thread to figure out which group you're on.

Never mind. It did not work.

So, shall I start him off in a way he can see outer most networks first? Skin, breaks in it, deformities, and people's muscle structure and any weaknesses they may have in that. Then progresses onto bone, organ, nerves etc?

And Uh, what group am I in? I don;t see Cassius anywhere..

Sure.

And that's because I told you to go to the discussion thread and work out with the other players in what group you're going to be in.

Ah. I read it a bit fast, I thought you had posted a revised sheet.

If you are looking for a prize in the box, their is none. Only more cardboard.

Amaranth is his own person while Ionia is her own. They both are conscious people except only Ionia is visible (because Amaranth is a figment of her imagination.) As for overloading, it's pretty much the untold knowledge of the universe pouring into the mind of her enemy all at once. At first it's a headache, then the brain starts to overheat from the nerves shooting information too fast, then bam, the head explodes.

EDIT: Doing this also hurts her head, thus stopping her before Amaranth can really end it. So she won't even be able to implode the head unless she's completely lost it.

However she can tone it down and read the mind if she pleases. (However it is upon touch.)

And if I give her solely Amaranth, how far am I allowed to go with evolving her "mind" power?

The untold secrets of the universe have to come from somewhere, so how is her head not exploding?

No reading minds.

And you still haven't responded to my complaints about your history.

I think it's easier for both of us if I just make a new character. Sorry.

If you pretend to feel a certain way, the feeling can become genuine all by accident. Hei (Darker Than Black)

So, just to make sure, is this RP still going to be accepting new players for a bit? I have a potential idea, but you seem to have a lot of players already.

"I do not approve of the fact that my favorite quotes are too long for this character limit." - Me

I dunno, but we've had a couple of people drop out.

Anyway here's Blackwall

Oh hey Hansen! Should I duck and cover from your character sheet?

-dramatic music ensues-

(People recognizing me, that's always a weird feeling…)

lol, considering that characters are supposed to start out as kids in this thing, probably not. It'd probably be one my simpler profiles to fill, if I did one.
