The Othergrounds - Trimmed

well im not out for sure. just need to see about finding a bit of free time. though once my laptop is fixed ill be on more. that's kinda why im not posting as often. its busted. I don't post on my phone cuz its too hard to type a lot on, I was using my laptop, but the screen got busted on it....

and on top of that when I can post I get sidetracked by other things..... so I dunno.... life is just crazy ya know?

It is. Please note that I decided to post as my characters. I hope it's not considered bad or a bit god-moddy, but I kind of made Marie explain the machine a little bit. She's actually very smart, but displays of intelligence are pretty much rare because she usually focuses on suppressing emotions. I wanted to emphasize that she's just messed up because she can't really think clearly most of the time. She's really a sort of child genius because she reads so many of those thick, boring textbooks.

lol. I use to do that all the time. read text books and encyclopedias for fun. just to learn something new. kinda miss doing it. growing up it was obvious I was smart, I just never applied myself. thus I nearly flunk high school. oh well

hey Vipra is it okay for me to make a post of somesort involving the robot? I mean this is the first chance that cyexs power might come in handy. I have an idea or two about it. im not gonna post right away just asking if I do decide to try and use it.

I'm not a moderator in this RP, but I think it'll be okay so long as you don't go overboard.

well ill clear it with lone then. either way...

his power is technopathy afterall. and faced with a robot? A golden opertunity!

What exactly do you have in mind?


I'll get a post in later on today.

I pmed you about it.

Okay, I haven't been on much lately, and I don't think that's going to change anytime soon. I've been caught up in schoolwork and my social life and stuff like that, so I don't really have much time to post. I will be here every now and then though.

I shall continue to post. Also, Lone said something about finding food in the dorm starting the next chapter in the RP. We might want to have that happen before our characters start exploring the school, because once we do that, we can bring in new characters.

Basic Information

Name: He keeps his real name a secret
Nicknames: Hunter
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Height: 5'10
Weight: 164



Appearance

Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Black
Nationality: American
Physical Appearance: Hunter is lanky, yet thin. He has a rather pale complexion, due to the use of his powers. His skin is scarred with hideous looking wounds, the most notable ones were the ones on his palms. His palms appear completely covered in scars from what appears to be blades. These scars on his body are a mix of old scars and new scars. Making obvious that he's had some of these scars for years on end. Fortunately, there aren't too many scars on his face and head. Except for a small scar that he got under his eye, and a scar on the bridge of his nose. The rest of his upper body is literally coated in thousands of different scars. Other than the scar his skin has other imperfections such as moles, and blemishes. He is rather thin, as he has a healthy build. He does look rather unimposing, and weak. Like he can't do anything physically. Hunter's face is squared and well defined. His nose is thin and one of the least notable things about his face. He has a pair of black wide set eyes which are a few inches away from each other. His eyes are notably big. His lips are thin, and is mouth is average sized. Hunter is always sporting a facial expression that is of fear, or paranoia. Hunter isn't exactly an attractive person. He has hair cut short, and it's wavy. He also has hair on the rest of his body, and is growing a small stubble.

Attire: In public, Hunter tends to wear heavy outfits that cover up much of his body. Because of all the scars he has, naturally. He'll wear a long sleeved overcoat, or any article of clothing as long as it covers his being. When alone he'll dress rather lightly. His outfit changes from day to day. One thing he will always have is a large black tote bag slung over his shoulder. This bag appears to be for women but he doesn't really care. Inside this bag is several art supplies, such as paint brushes, paint, etc. He also holds a first aid kit, which he knows how to use. Hunter always keeps a switch blade in his bag.

Personality

Innate Personality: Innately, Hunter is always wondering why he can't be like other people. He always feels conflicted about things, and wishes that everyone else would be like him so he wouldn't feel so awkward. At times the only thing that made him feel normal is his art. While it's more subtle than anything he has an obsession with art. His goal in life is create his masterpiece. When someone damages his art he tends to get upset, and at times violent. It brings out his "bad side" very easily. Which makes him act, instead of think. Other than that he's a thinker. In his own head he analyses things, and takes note of plenty of things. He does have a great memory and is precise. Sometimes when stressed he tends over think things and force himself into a metaphorical corner.

Outward Personality: Outwardly, Hunter is rather odd, creepy even. The way he talks, the way he looks, those scars, it's rather unnerving. However, he's social, just not very good at it. It's because of the aforementioned habit of not getting people. Some things will simply perplex him. He also tends to be blank and blunt, never will he beat around the bush. He tends to be oblivious to somethings. Hunter will be polite to people unless given a reason not to. With people he doesn't like he'll just ignore them and let them do their own thing. He's long learned how to ignore jerks. At times it appears that he can't stand up for himself. Except when they push him too far, then he won't hesitate to fight. Unlike some people he doesn't really fear pain or threats from other people, and if motivated enough. There is a limit to this, however. Like many others he tends to avoid dying the hardest he can. Hunter is a very kind person, and will always think about other people when he makes a decision. At heart he's a kind person, he just tends to act strange, and out. When he's stressed he tends to act a bit more erratic, and won't think some things through. One thing that brings him great pride is his artistry skill, nothing will make him feel better than showing off his pictures to those who are interested. He also tends to draw things. Whether it be an object he likes, a scene, or people. Except he doesn't draw them with his own blood.


Hobbies/Skills: Art. From a young age Hunter has been interested in art, and is considered to be a prodigy when it comes to art. He can draw well with his fingers, and brushes well, he knows how to use other forms, but isn't as good. Hunter also knows how to use first aid kits. He also done some fencing, so he knows a bit of swordplay.

Favorite color:


Abilities

Power Class: Other

Power: This power is inspired by a video I once saw of a very special artist... You'll figure out who after reading. Hunter has access to the mighty blood-art technique. Which allows him to draw things with  blood and whatever he draws will take a physical form identical to the drawing. Essentially he can create constructs out of blood. All these constructs will be texture-less, yet blood colored. For him to accomplish this he has to draw a useful amount of blood, then if he has a solid surface; draw exactly what he wants to materialize on it, then it'll sort of come to life. Of course he also has to concentrate hard on what he wants to create. By concentrating these constructs will be able to mimic the features of what he's drawing. Such as if he thinks of a sword really hard while drawing it; it will be metal-like. He can create virtually anything as long as he has enough blood and it isn't too large. Hunter also has the ability to control what he materializes to an extent. In a short orb (around two feet) around him, he can move objects telekinetically, which allows him better control over his constructs. Even if he's holding them. Which is how he appears to be rather skilled in wielding weapons, because he's telekinetically guiding them to their target. In addition to these powers, Hunter is able to regenerate blood extremely fast, and wounds a bit faster. His body also contains a larger amount of blood than average.

At this point he is unable to create living beings with his art. However, in due time he'll have the potential to bring life to his drawings, if they're drawings of creatures/animals.

Weaknesses: Hunter can only use his own blood to draw art. He can't create mechanics with his art, only static objects. While Hunter can regenerate wounds and blood faster, there's a limit to it. It's far from instant, and he may lose too much blood and possibly die. Which is rather dis-servicing because he also has to produce enough blood out of his skin to make art. That requires him to make a rather large wound to produce enough blood. His most blatant weakness is that he requires a bit of time to make art. While he can draw something rather fast with his fingers alone he needs a few minutes to draw. However, he has worked around this by keeping a book of everything he usually draws and keeps it close to him at all times. Speaking of which, he has to draw what he wants to create exactly. It's size, it's detail, etc. Even if he mis-draws one line when it takes a physical shape it'll be rather deformed. It's a little quirk of his to never let this happen, and will scrap the whole thing just to fix that one error. Finally, once he draws the picture and it takes a physical form, the drawing will be left behind and if it's tampered with even in the slightest the construct will be destroyed, until it's corrected and reappears.

Burst Potential: Zeta

Other:

Looking at these powers, maybe there should be a category of characters with the power to manipulate their own anatomy.

Hm... Maybe. Most of those would fall under Super System. What would be the name and description of this class?


Also I added a new power class (Chemical) and a new Burst (Theta)

I'll keep Jacob there, but he won't be doing as much anymore.

Anatomical Class, I guess. The description would likely be any character that has the power to manipulate or control their own bodily tissues (or blood) without dramatically altering the original structure or function, meaning that if you could do something, like grow new muscle, the cells would remain the same as the tissue they originated from. It wouldn't count as super-system, because that would be things like enhanced natural abilities. What would set Super System and Anatomical apart would likely be the fact that characters in Anatomical can control specific tissues in their body, and actively manipulate them.

Alright added the Biological/Anatomical and Cosmic classes, and the last three locations in the school (The Eyestation, The Lake and the Proving Grounds).



Now, if I can annoy some people to make me a map...

I can. I love drawing maps. What kind do ya need?

Essentially I need a top-down map (Like this) of the school with every single location connected with pathways or roads. I believe that I gave enough information about each individual location--- If not, then I'd be happy to give more info. You can arrange all the buildings aside from the one's I specifically noted where they were.

Kay. I think I'll get some graph paper and work on it a bit later. The only thing I'm gonna need is the scale. like about how far some ot the buildings are from each other.

Hm, do you need the dept for specifically every single individual building? Or just a general scale?

Well The exact size for the important buildings would be nice. From there i could infer the size of the others. Like the Administration Building, Dorms, and The Plaza. The Medical Wing, Education and Science Wings would be nice as well, but not entirly nessecarry. and

Hmmm, what should I post?

Alright, I'm going to give you the area of all the places you listed.


The Administration Building: W: 72 ft x H: 62 ft

The Dorms: W: 273 ft x H: 164 ft

The Plaza: W: 94 ft x H: 12 ft


The Medical Wing: W: 149 ft x H: 245 ft


Education Wing: W: 172 ft x H: 156 ft


Science Wing: W: 42 ft x H: 28 ft



Hope this helps.

yes it does a lot. Now I can establish scale. I'll get to it this evening. I'll probably go through a few drafts before I'm satisfied with it. If I still had AutoCad I could use it, but i lost that program a long time ago.

So I'm gonna freehand it with graph paper.

I hope your map is world class.



I'll get a post in to wrap up the first chapter later. The next chapter is going be a bit more on character interaction

Good. THat'll be nice. I'm gonna get to that map later tonight after my club meeting is over... that'll be about 8ish.
