My Superhero Academy: Foreign Exchange

Approved, welcome.

I'm not gonna lie, your Sign Up is quite a bit to read, it's one big cluster and can be a bit of a slog. I'd say break it up into paragraphs, simplify it and we'll see where we stand.

Is this better?

hello?

So, looking over it for now, I'm afraid I will have to decline it. It's more the fact a lot of it doesn't match the tone and feel that we're trying to achieve in this game. If we're looking for players later, I'll message you, but until then.

Declined.

CHARACTER CREATION SHEET

1. Real Name: Kano Agano

2. Superhero Name: Night Light

3. Age: 16

4. Appearance: Kano is a relatively tall lanky young man with long unkept black hair and very pale skin. He has pale grey pupils and usually sports large dark bags under his eyes. His pupils dissipate when using his power and begin to glow a bright white. When not in his costume he is almost always in pajamas, with his favorite being his royal purple pajama pants and lavender shirt. For his hero costume, he wears a royal purple costume with two black sashes over his shoulders forming the shape of an X, with a glowing yellow lighting bolt insignia at the center on his chest. Yellow electric currents can be clearly seen in the sashes, originating from the insignia. At night his insignia, the currents in his sashes, and the glow of his eyes all shine significantly brighter.

5. Personality: Kano is a very quiet and stoic person, often keeping his feelings and emotions to himself, though he somehow still manages to convey his feelings without speaking or even acting in any way out of the ordinary. He is often very tired due to both his severe narcolepsy and the kickback of his power. As such, he is often groggy and slow to respond. Despite this and his quiet personality, he is a surprisingly friendly person, enjoying talking to others, especially those he deems his friends. He has a very strong sense of justice and despises heroes that put the well being of themselves over needs of others.

6. Powers: Kano has control of a completely unseeable, and very tangible force, that allows him to influence the world around him. He can use it to pick up things, push things, throw things, crush things, slice things, rend things, fly, and even create a simple force field. His ability is powerful enough to crush, break, or slice concrete and steel with relative ease, however his power does come with a draw back. His power takes an obscene amount of energy to use, and that combined with his narcolepsy means that he has a hard time doing hero work for overly long periods of time, and when he isn’t working, he’s usually sleeping. This kickback can cause him to fall asleep in the middle of doing hero work, or even leave him comatose if he attempts to use his power on low energy. The source of this power is unknown, and even though it has been in his family for a couple generations, it’s origin has not been traced. For whatever reason, his power seems to become a bit more powerful during the night and the kickback affects him a bit less.

7. Gear: The sashes and insignia on his costume actually serves a very distinct, and important purpose. His suit is designed to keep track of his heartbeat and, whenever he shows signs of tiring or simply falling asleep, send a small electric shock to his heart. Although this is a bit painful, it has the trade off of keeping him awake and energized, and even improving his tolerance to pain.

8. Backstory: Kano is the latest in a relatively long line of minor super heroes. His fathers side of the family all had a power very similar to his, albeit much less powerful and taxing, and both his father and grandfather were heroes, though his grandfather perished before he was born. Due to the nature of his ability, he actually went through most of his childhood as a relatively normal human, with no intention of following his family legacy. This changed however, when his father was killed in action, not by a villain, but by a careless hero thinking him a villain. This led the death of his father, Cymbal, and over a dozen other citizens he was in the midst of saving. Kano, distraught, made the realization that the one thing that the world needed more than anything were true heroes, people who help others not for their own sake, but for the sake of others, a breed of heroes going extinct in present day, and the kind of hero his father was. Kano, still in his mid-teens, resolved to make up for the tragic loss of a great hero, and become the kind of hero his father was, by joining Camelot Academy.

9. Miscellaneous: As stated before, he does have narcolepsy. Whether this is naturally cause or because of his powers hasn’t been decided; He currently lives with his powerless mother, Annabelle Agano.

Accepted!

I did decide to revise it slightly, not changing the character in anyway, but changing the age and backstory slightly.

• Real Name: Aquarius Razin
• Superhero Name: Red River
• Age: 17
• Appearance: Aquarius, is chubby, yet somehow lighter than he looks. He sports a long ponytail, has naturally long eyelashes and a long ponytail with purple cat-eyes. Despite his age, he stands at 5'1. His skin is a rather pasty white. His eyes have dark circles under them.
• Personality: He is studious and likes to regard himself as a hard-worker, despite him actually being rather lazy. He doesn't particularly care about his subjects- just that he wants good grades. Despite what others may say, he's rather self-conscious about his eyes and looks in general. He doesn't take anything in life too seriously, and is self-relient.
• Powers: Aquarius can pause your vision and make you focus on certain points, effectively making you blind. He can also see spirits.
• Gear: Electric batons and pepper spray.
• Backstory: Aquarius used to be a cheerful and a laid-back kid just like his hippie parents. On his 9th birthday, his parents had brought him into their colourful attic and told him to lay down on the soft rug. The place was donned with chandeliers of the like, and had colourful curtains all around. There was even a nice pillow on the rug! He did as he was told and was given some weird looking candy, which made him fall asleep. After he woke up, he felt like his body was almost on fire. He was crying, and his parents were laughing instead of helping. His eyesight got misaligned and as he got up, his vision kept focused on the same place for a short while until his eyes became strained and he closed them shut. Since then he has learned to mistrust his parents, and has continued to train his powers by himself.
• Miscellaneous:
  • His parents gave him powers via ritual out of recommendation from a sketchy guru. They got him possessed by a bakeneko.
  • His mum is Russian while his dad is Malaysian, and he speaks both languages. But he also knows Swedish from his time spent in Sweden.
  • He has a Russian accent.

This is not a pc, but I couldn’t really think of a place to put this so I am putting this here. It’s a player created npc, that is pretty important to Kano

———

• Real Name: Abigail Aldridge

• Superhero Name: Nightshade

• Age: 19

• Appearance: Abigail Aldridge is an average looking girl, inheriting her family’s pale skin, but sporting dark auburn hair, that is decently kemp. The only remotely supernatural thing about her is most likely her eyes, which are pitch black, and seem to “glow” darkness, affecting the area around them much in the way a softly glowing light would, only darkening instead of glowing. Though she generally tries to, and does a good job of, hiding them, she has a bunch of very bad scars around her knees, as well as a large black stab wound over her heart, that occasionally seems to leak shadows. She has a tendency to wear darker clothes, though she can often be found in a simple pair of jeans and a black or grey T-shirt. Her hero costume is fairly basic, composing of a simple, grey looking cloak. This cloak falls down to her feet, and conceals her face. Beneath her coat, albeit completely concealed, she wears black jeans, a black tank-top, and black dress shoes.

• Personality: Abigail generally has a habit of coming across as a very bitter person, though this is only because she is one. She is often very cruel, cynical, and sarcastic, especially when interacting with strangers or others who she is less familiar with. When in the presence of someone who she considers an enemy, she goes from cruel to outright jerk, insulting and outright attacking them even though unprovoked. This is exaggerated even more whenever she comes in contact with her cousin, Kano Agano, immediately becoming enraged and attacking him, whilst insulting him the entire time. Conflicts between the two often result in a heavy amount of collateral damage. Although she comes off as a jerk, there are hints of a genuinely kind person if one were to get to know her enough. She holds a great disdain towards her own powers, though also believes them to be superior to others.

• Powers: Abigails power allow her to manipulate, and control shadows, as well as create her own shadows and manipulate those. The darker the shadow, the more powerful and solid it is, though the shadows she generates are generally more powerful than anything created naturally, save those found at night or in completely unlit areas. She primarily manipulates these shadows by forming them into tendrils, and then slicing or smashing her foes. Although her powers supposedly give her control over “shadows” this pretty much extends to any dark area, making her powers much more powerful at night. She can also generate pure darkness from her person, taking the form of tendrils. She can manipulate these tendrils with much greater ease than normal shadows, and prefers attacking with these tendrils as opposed to natural darkness. Tendrils formed from her person “glow” much in the same vein as her eyes.

• Gear: Her cloak, although it looks fairly regular, is actually very durable, being able to withstand gunfire, while also being very light

• Backstory: Abigail Aldridge is the only daughter of Anthony Aldridge, and Katherine Aldridge, formerly Katherine Agano. Her mother’s family had a long line of superheroes, each one inheriting a shared superpower, however, for reasons unknown, this power skipped Katherine, and wasn’t inherited by Abigail. This enraged both of Abigail’s parents, and drove them to find powers elsewhere. In a desperate plea, the two parents attempted to make a pact with any entity that would hear, and sacrificed their daughters life in the hopes that it would be exchanged for power. One entity did hear their plea, in fact, The Grim Reaper. Upon examining the murdered child, The Reaper, feeling pity for her, shredded the two parents, and restored Abigail to life. This in turn gave Abigail her powers.

• Miscellaneous:

• Abigail’s grandfather is also Kano’s uncle, technically making her his first cousin removed.

• The scars on Abigail’s knees were given to her by Kano when he severed her patellar tendon. Because of this injury, Abigail can no longer walk, and relies on her powers for transportation.

• An unfortunate side effect of her powers affects her sight. Because of how she processes light, the brighter or more illuminated an area is, the harder it is for her to see, and vice versa. Because of this she is usually mostly blind, and relies on her powers to feel around her. Although a bright fog lamp might be able to completely blind her, due to the light flooding, vantablack and other extreme light absorbing substances actually hurt her eyes, and damage her vision, much like the sun would to us.

• Abigail’s parents are still alive, and have even been granted immortality from The Grim Reaper. They currently both reside in a large cardboard box in the form of a messy pile of bone shards, individual organs, and patches of skin.

• Because of fairly obvious reasons, Camelot Academy has chosen to separate Abigail and Kano, keeping them in separate classes.
