The Othergrounds - Trimmed

Claire is the kinda person who just needs her ass kicked.

Johnny N' friends have the advantage since she's injured and probably near deaf.

I'm well aware that she's about to get fucked up. This is more to explain her personality.

Okay, I just posted, and Leafnose knows Barky already, so she's helped Nicole identify his scent. Just a note, Barky knows all of my characters that were in the school before the incident. He'll probably turn up at some point.

I posted from Johnny's perspective

Um, lone, I understand that autohitting is against the rules, and that Claire is willy-nilly throwing lightning bolts around inaccurately, but lightning moves at the speed of light. It's kinda hard to dodge.

He's been hit by some of it. Just that his powers suppress pain and damage... and that you said that she's firing inaccurately.

I've met a person who got struck by lightning and lived. He said he blacked out for about one second and then he woke up. He said after that he was perfectly fine. Of course, my science teacher said if you were literally struck by the actual bolt, you'd die, so people who survive being struck by lightning were actually just very close to where it actually hit.

This is more like sticking your finger in a light socket, but the bolt Claire just shot off would be more like your science teacher's lightning bolt. This one may hurt.


Also, I'm working on a fourth character who will be French, as well as I believe our first character from a foreign country.

The closest we have to that is Toby, so far, but that's only racial origin. He's Latin American, and sings opera, which is traditionally Italian.

Also, isn't sticking your finger in a light socket something involving a closed circuit loop? How does that work with Claire's attacks? I dunno, when I was little, my parents caught me trying to stick a metal fork in the light socket...that could have ended badly...

Nationality: Green.

DRAGONFLY.

Name: Taylor de L’eau
Nickname: Tay, Brandy by Claire
gender: female
age: 18
Height: 5’7”
Weight: 120lbs

Appearance:
Hair color: dirty blonde
eye color: green
nationality: French
appearance: Taylor is a very thin, weak-looking girl. Her skin is a moderate caucasian color; slightly pale, but not paper white. She has a very French-looking face, slim with soft features. Her face is just as thin as the rest of her body, and is framed in wavy blonde hair that is normally tied up in a french twist. Her eyes have a very soft look to them, and give off an aura of arrogance. She usually wears a pair of silver ring earrings.

attire: IC, but Taylor has a very rich style, like Carole. She also comes from a lot of money, and wears very fancy clothing most of the time. Her favorite color is silver. The only things that usually stay on her are her white beret and her LeVian chocolate diamond ring which has her family crest on it; a pitcher pouring water.

Personality: IC

History: I’ll do this later


Abilities:

Power class; Elemental

Power: Taylor is hydrokinetic; she has the power to control water. This power runs in her family, and has for five generations. Because of this, she has a lot of training with her powers at home, and was only sent to the school to protect her from the anti-mutant community (total backfire). She can blast spurts of water at enemies with enough strength to stun adversaries. However, she can also control water constructively. She has the ability to breathe underwater, as well as creating geyser shields made of running water which deflect bullets.

weaknesses: Salts. Salts are Taylor’s worst nightmare; they draw water to themselves, and keep Taylor from being able to use that water. Taylor cannot control saltwater or brackish water, nor can she control the water in anything (animals, plants, or humans). Also, Taylor’s water makes her pretty much a big lightningrod. She draws electricity to herself.

burst potential: Alpha, delta, zeta, zeta (two different zeta bursts)

Other: She’s Carole’s BFF, but isn’t nearly as dramatic

(Note that I cannot stand Lady gaga, but this song is perfect for a reason which will be revealed friday).





Wow, that is a short sheet. I must add the personality section later to make it not look as bad.

You know, I actually have four other characters that I never posted. I just don't see the point, because I barely have enough time to control one.

Okay, Taylor just came out of the lake all Jesus-y and is now talking to Toby. Just so y'all know, her English is very broken, which is why half of what she says is in French. Her english will progress over the course of the RP. She's also kinda hard to understand because of her heavy accent.

Wanted to let you all know, I am going to be gone for most of today. So just continue on as if Dragonfly is following.

Maxx, Drake isn't in his lightning form anymore. When he crashed he reverted himself back to human form.

oops. My bad. Must've missed a post.

EDIT: Changed it. Sounds kinda stupid now, but it works.


EDIT2: Lone, can you post as Drake please?

I dont have much to post about as him.

Guys, please note I might be gone for a few days starting tomorrow or the day after. I don't know if I'll have access to wi-fi, so I'm just letting you know.

Moved Taylor away so I don't get IC locked when Vipes leaves.


Also, i decided to make another character who will have a dream-based ability.

Okay, good call, everyone should move their characters away, although I can confirm I am leaving day after tomorrow. I don't want to have anyone IC locked.

I'm fine with Drake staying with Nicole until you come back.

Okay, then. Should I introduce the mystery character? I have one day before I leave.

Up to you.

Well, I'll introduce her, then, I can hardly wait as it is.

Also, I have an idea for a character, but I need approval first. I had this idea for a mutant at the school who wound up overusing his powers, and survived the process of ashing. Of course, he would have a pretty creepy appearance, and would also wind up with Cotard delusion, which is a delusional belief that he is already dead. I think it would be an interesting way to cause character development, and introduce ashing into the story to the rest of the characters. I wanted to know your opinion on this.
