Black Fall - (Closed)

This is a good place to put one of my Othergrounds characters in. I'll find one and edit it.

EDIT: Screw it, I don't have enough time to join any more RPs.

Basic Information

Name: Carlos Gonzalez
Nickname/Alias: The Pit Scorpion
Gender: male
Age: 28
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 230 lbs


Appearance

Hair Color: um...he doesn't have any hair
Eye Color: black, with no whites or iris. Pure coal black.
Ethnicity: Mexican, but his skin is a waxy dark brown
Physical Appearance: Carlos' mutation has progressed to such a point that he can hardly be called human at all. Most people think he's some kind of alien, though at heart he is still human. He has a large body frame, and is covered in thick waxy plating like a scorpion's exoskeleton. Everything on him is covered in this plating, even his face. Speaking of which, his head and face don't look very human either. It is covered in exoskeleton, with a very wide human mouth lined with needle-like sharp teeth. He has no ears, only holes in the side of his head which are partially covered with armor. Carlos has two pairs of black, buglike eyes (like a spider's) which are above his mouth, and no nose. His lips are scaly and thin, and his mouth is usually in a wide evil-looking grin. Carlos has very wide shoulders, and muscular arms which lead to a pair of claws a little large than a human hand (boxing glove size). These claws are serrated on the end. Most of the rest of his body looks more or less humanoid; he has a wide torso, thick legs, and scaly feet. However, then there's his tail. The tail comes out at his waistline, and is also covered with exoskeleton. The tail is about nine feet long, and ends in a very large, very sharp stinger. When not in action, it is often curled up.

Attire: Carlos normally wears a pair of XXXL blue jeans with a tee shirt of some sort and a black leather jacket that has the same sugar skull picture as on Warpig's. Under the skull, the jacket says "The Skulls". Carlos normally wears a pair of sunglasses during the day, as the light hurts his eyes.


Personality

Hobbies/Interests: Carlos boxes and works out a lot with the gang. There's not much else you can do when you're a big ass scorpion.
Skills/Talents: Carlos is adept at several forms of martial arts (not a master, but like a redbelt).
Goals: Carlos wants to be accepted. His entire life he has been a freak, and he doesn't want that anymore. He either A) wants society to accept him for who he is or B) wants to destroy society and make a new one that will accept him.
Favorite color: Herpaherpaherpa #444
Prized Possession: his grandmother's rosary, which he keeps in the saddlebag of his bike at all times.


Relationships

Family: Carlos doesn't think about his family much, considering that they chased him into the burning desert because they thought he was a demon. He has a father and mother, as well as a grandma and a few siblings, but he doesn't know any of their conditions and doesn't care.
Friends: The Skulls
Enemies: mankind in general
Lovers: nobody loves a giant scorpion
Marital Status: forever alone

Abilities

Power Class: animal/plant

Power: Carlos has a range of powers all focusing on the scorpion. He is incredibly strong, and very bulky due to his tough exoskeleton. The skeleton is very tough and hard to break with melee weapons. You'd need to strike him between the armor or with some kind of crushing object to injure him through the plates. His claws are relatively small, but his immense strength combined with his claws' sharp edges can lead to some painful slashes that can do a moderate amount of damage. What you really need to worry about when fighting. Carlos' tail is massive, and has a 9 foot striking distance. He can strike at nearly 100 mph. His stinger is very durable, and can strike concrete without being broken. Carlos' venom is a nonfatal exotoxin, but still causes large amounts of damage. Not only can the stinger cause massive damage, but the exotoxin causes necrosis in the wound, keeping it from healing and possibly infecting the host with bacteria.

Weaknesses: Several things. Firstly, Carlos isn't very fast. He has an incredible amount of armor and only two legs, causing him to run rather sluggishly. He can't maneuver very well either. Carlos' exotoxin can be treated with some antibiotics, and large amounts of heat will kill the toxin (I mean like 150-200 degree heat, not a hot pack). Also, since his toxin is bacterial in nature, washing his stinger with some sort of antibiotic would kill the poison, however doing that without getting smashed by a stinger is the tough part (I do not suggest it).

Burst Potential: Gamma, theta.

Basic Information

Name: Brigit White
Nickname/Alias:
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Height: 5’6”
Weight: 100.1lbs.

Appearance

Hair Color: Greenish-Silver
Eye Color: Green
Ethnicity: Caucasian

Physical Appearance: Brigit, while still retaining mostly human features, has mutated to become more ant-like in appearance. Having a slender, hourglass figure, long neck and limbs, and weighing relatively little, she at first seems to be very delicate. This does not hide, however, her unique semi-transparent black second skin, which fits right over the first perfectly and seamlessly, with no segmentation, and shines much like the chitin exoskeleton of a bug, although it does not have a typical brownish cast. Through this second skin, the first is visible, and appears to be as white as paper, possibly because the second skin blocks out UV rays that normally stimulate pigmentation. On her back, her second skin forms stubs over her shoulder blades, and from beneath these stubs sprouts a pair of teardrop-shaped veiny bug wings that have completely transparent membranes, and iridescent greenish-silver veins that slightly resemble lace. Brigit’s face is oval-shaped, with a well-defined bone structure and sharp features. Her small nose and cherubic lips, however, soften her appearance and make it less severe. Despite this, her canine teeth are unusually sharp, almost like fangs. Her eyes are roundish-almond in shape, with emerald green irises that reflect light with a metallic sheen, similar to the compound eyes of some insects. Her eyebrows and long eyelashes are greenish-silver, which strikingly stands out. Her long straight hair, matching her eyebrows and eyelashes, is also greenish-silver, and falls to the middle of her back. Her speech pattern is extremely formal, often including the use of complicated words and phrases.

Attire: Brigit, having worn her original clothing to the point that it was only threadbare rags, wears clothing of an extremely unique nature. Because she is constantly surrounded by a massive colony of mutated ants that obey her commands, she uses them, or more specifically, their larvae, to make clothing. By commanding the ants to manipulate their larvae so that they secrete silk, Brigit was able to make them weave things for her to wear. Because the amount of silk larvae can secrete is limited, and they have to pupate without a cocoon, however, the only things Brigit currently wears is a pair of shorts that stop just above her knees, and a modest camisole. Both articles of clothing are made out of matching pure white silk with no ornamentation or seams, and are extremely sturdy. Brigit often goes around barefoot, seeing shoes as unnecessary.

Personality

Innate Personality: Brigit, despite not having had any sort of human contact in several years, is far from lonely. This is because, ever since she ran away from home upon starting to mutate, she has been constantly cared for by a massive colony of ants, which she has come to see as her friends and family, and with which she possesses a symbiotic bond. These ants provide Brigit with food, shelter, and clothing, as well as anything else that she might need. In turn, Brigit commands the colony, instructing them how to carry out various tasks, as well as defending them from harm, namely from discovery, as human interference frequently results in the death of potentially dangerous insects. Despite their amazing capabilities for destruction, however, Birgit ensures that her ants stay far away from human settlements, and that they don’t do anything that might give people a reason to investigate around the area where she and the colony live. Because of the mutualistic relationship Brigit shares with her ants, she has come to have a very strong view of nature, and how it is balanced and wonderful all by itself, without humans trying to change the way it is. However, because she was once human herself, Brigit largely believes that her mutations, as well as her symbiosis with the ants, are a form of human beings merging with the natural world. She also sees it as a unique adaptation to survival in a world where humans frequently extinct species due to their interference, as, with an intelligent mind commanding them, the ants are more likely to avoid detection and survive. She also has relatively no fear of insects whatsoever, and is rarely seen without a group of ants close by, or far away from her colony. Emotionally unstable at times, Birgit’s ants change their behavior to avoid offending her sensitivities.

Outward Personality: Brigit has relatively poor communication skills in regards to speaking to other people, due to a majority of her time being devoted to caring for her ant colony. Because of this, she often comes across as slightly disturbed mentally. Possibly having over time developed an undiagnosed form of emotional disorder that only seems apparent around humans, Brigit has days when she is rather calm and seldom panics or becomes angry, followed by days where she is extremely moody, irritable, or easily upset, usually depending on what people say or do around her. While she never exhibits this towards her ants or when she is alone, her reactions to things vary greatly when communicating with other people, possibly due to a lack of experience with processing her emotions and expressing them. Due to the fact that the ants are typically always aware of Brigit’s emotional state, they are able to alter their behavior in order to prevent any sort of negative reaction. While she is for the most part peaceful, and does not mean to harm anyone, her tendency to appear unstable frightens those that she meets. When she is in an agitated state of mind, her speech may seem rushed or confusing, and she may randomly snap angrily at something someone says, or spontaneously burst into tears. When she is calm, her speech is intricate, and at times even poetic. Why she has these issues around others is currently unknown, and the cause may never be determined.

Hobbies/Interests: Brigit, despite not being able to do most things regular humans can do, has a strong interest in entomology, namely myrmecology, which is the study of ants. Because she is, in a sense, part of an ant colony, she has a very deep understanding of how they work, and believes that studying them could lead to discoveries that would benefit society, in general, without harming nature in the process.

Skills/Talents: Brigit has an amazing talent in regards to architecture, and is capable of using her ants to build structures that are inhabitable by humans, without needing to take mathematical measurements to determine what is needed to make them structurally stable, without fear of collapse. The finest example of these talents is the small hut that she lives in, which has been standing for several years, and is a relatively long distance from the parks in the woods that surround the river.

Goals: Brigit’s main goal is to protect herself and her colony of ants from humans

History/Bio: Brigit grew up being raised by a single dad who struggled to take care of both his daughter and himself, and as a result was hardly able to afford living in a home in Southside, which was a lower apartment with a very small backyard that didn’t even have enough grass to require a lawnmower. The only reason that they could afford it, in theory, was because of the fact that the street in front of the apartment was too noisy for the owner to rent it out for a higher price. Regardless of this, Brigit learned to ignore the noise and spent much of her time using the light in the backyard to read by, often focusing on her studies.

When she began to mutate at the age of eleven, Brigit first started developing odd mental changes, and started to think that she heard the ants in the little tiny mound in her backyard talking to her, although not in anything that could be translated into English. Wondering if she had some disorder, Brigit didn’t tell her father anything. This confusion persisted for about an entire year, the communications with the ant colony becoming more vivid and clear, and Brigit always doing things to try to make sure the ants didn’t get hurt, for some reason she didn’t understand. Then, when she was twelve, she started to develop physical changes, beginning with a shiny black second skin that, despite being like a normal human’s in texture and flexibility, was durable like chitin armor. It didn’t emerge all at once, and first began spreading on her back. When this happened, Brigit also noticed the ants beginning to change.

After this, Brigit discovered that she could control the ants, and, deciding that neither she nor the ants could survive without one another, scooped up the colony in an old bowl, and ran away from home and hid in the woods, far away from any parks that were located within the forest. Here, Brigit struggled to survive for the first few days, but her ant colony began to build a new nest, and started to rapidly multiply to an unnatural size. For the past four years, the number of ants has grown gigantic, and Brigit has become a master of manipulating them, using them to build a structurally stable hut, and surviving solely on food that the ants bring her.

Abilities

Power Class: Animal, Chemical, Cerebral

Power: Brigit has a very unique set of powers, even among animal meta-humans, having mutated alongside an ant colony, and developed a symbiotic relationship with them as a result. She is capable of communicating with them via pheromones specially designed for solely the colony she controls, and even has a sort of telepathic bond with the insects, as they are capable of detecting one another’s emotions and thoughts. Because the colony multiplies at a very fast rate, and has grown to incredible size, Brigit has an enormous army of genetically superior ants at her command, which constantly replenish any number that is lost. The ants themselves are not an average species, and possess powerful abilities of their own. These ants are pure black in coloration, and queen and drone ants emerge as adults with wings that have greenish-silver veins and transparent membranes. All forms of these ants have flatter-than-average bodies, which is similar to gliding ants, giving the altered species a unique identity that makes it possible to distinguish them from natural species. These ants are largely an  ultimate insect, having a fast running speed due to having longer legs that more closely resemble species found in the desert, and the ability to produce special proteins in their body that make it possible to carry out bodily functions, even in intense heat, much like the Saharan Desert Ant. Because of their flat bodies, the ants are also capable of gliding, or controlling where they land when they fall from tree branches, which greatly increases their chance of survival upon landing. Most amazing of all, however, is their abilities that resemble those of Polyrhachis sokolova, the only known intertidal ant species in the world that has been known to inhabit nests underwater. Because of this, Brigit’s ants are capable of running across water using surface tension, or skimming with the tips of their legs in the water. In addition to their extreme physical adaptability, Brigit’s ants also have many mental capabilities, as well as special skills dealing with perception. These ants, like desert species, appear to have a sort of internal pedometer, allowing them to keep track of their distance from their starting point, which is their nest. They are then able to judge what would be the shortest route, based on the sun’s position, and their shadow, which is not normally needed, as the temperature is normally cool, although they are also capable of sensing magnetic poles for navigation to determine direction. Like Weaver ants, Brigit’s ants can use the silk of their larvae to weave tree leaves together to form nests, although because of environmental factors, this silk is more often used to make and repair Birgit’s clothing. Because of the massive size of the colony, Birgit’s ants are omnivorous, and are capable of eating anything they can find. They can also obtain honeydew from aphids and scale insects that they care for. In situations that require aggressive behavior, Birgit’s ants possess the ability to move in a fashion similar to army ants, and possess Trap Jaws, which can close at a speed of up to 143 miles per hour, although they are capable of closing slowly for different tasks. The stings of Birgit’s ants feel like that of a wasp or large spider bite, and if analyzed the venom appears to be a very minor form of poneratoxin that is normally found in a stronger form in bullet ants. A single sting alone is relatively easy for people to bear, but multiple stings in the same spot quickly cause pain to escalate to a burning, throbbing, all-consuming pain that feels as though the victim were being shot, which lasts for about 24 hours. Although it would take a very large number of stings for the ants to kill a single normal human, high doses of venom can cause numbness in the afflicted limbs, as well as uncontrollable shaking.

Brigit herself, who controls the army of ants, does not have any venom. However, she does possess wings, which gift her with the ability of flight, which can be up to speeds of 60 miles per hour. Additionally, she is able to hover in one place, and fly backwards. Her second skin makes her resistant to blunt blows such as punches, and like her ants, Brigit has the ability to lift things that weigh up to ten times her body weight (1000 lbs). If her wings or second skin are damaged, she is capable of shedding them and re-growing new ones in a time period of about three days.

Weaknesses: Despite their formidable abilities, Brigit’s  ants are still as individuals bugs that at maximum size can only grow to about two centimeters in length. Despite all their adaptations, the ants cannot breathe underwater, and are not immune to fire, electricity, or ice. They are also not in any way immune to being crushed by heavy objects. This means humans can still step on them and kill them. They can also still be killed with bug spray.

Brigit herself, not having been an ant originally, is immune to bug spray, but has the same weaknesses as an average human, for the most part, except for blunt blows like punches. Sharp objects and elemental attacks, however, have full effect. In addition, despite possessing wings, Brigit cannot fly if they get wet. Also, if she has shed her second skin and wings to regrow new ones, she will be extremely vulnerable for three days, due to her normal skin being extremely sensitive, both to light, temperature, and even the slightest touch.

Basic Information

Name: Caden Istell Zorich
Nickname/Alias: Crocodile, Basilisk, King of the Snakes
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Height: 6'5
Weight: 205


Appearance

Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Black
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Physical Appearance: Caden is a late-teen with some odd vibes about him, he looks strange and to some downright silly. He has a very slim build, he's a bit tall. With some rather abnormally long limbs, his arms and legs are long. With his legs making up most of his immense height. He doesn't have any visible muscles or body-fat on him. In fact, if he takes off his clothes; most would faintly see his bones poking through his skin. He has rather thin shoulders. Caden has slightly tanned skin, his skin takes a darker shade of Caucasian. With many imperfections littering his skin. Most of these imperfections come in the form of scars. Over the years, Caden has intentionally gotten himself in some pretty vicious fights. Fights that'd leave people scarred for life. These scars vary in type, size and appearance (Some are burn scars, some are blade scars, you get the picture). They are scattered around his skin, and there's too many to note. None really stand out anymore. Fortunately, there are very few scars on his face. Except for one straight scar over his right eye. Caden is a very attractive looking person, despite his scars and personality. He has feminine, near androgynous facial features. Some could easily mistake him for a girl if they look at him from certain angles.

Caden has a bony, yet rounded face. He has a small, inverted triangle shaped head. Which is wide at the top, and gets thinner and thinner as it goes down. Caden has a pointed chin, with a strong, sharp jaw-line to match. His cheekbones are round at the top, and get thinner and much more squared as it goes down. Similar to his head. He has a very small nose, with a small, thin bridge and large round nostrils. It's rather notable since his nose is very small compared to his other facial features. He has a small forehead, that is short, but wide in a way. Caden's eyes are a bit larger than average, they are mostly round, and have some pointed tips. There is something undeniably odd about his eyes, which are a side-effect of his powers. His iris's are pitch black, no natural color or anything. He still has the white around his iris, though. So, it's only really noticeable when someone looks in his eyes (Of madness). These eyes also look a bit feminine, adding much to his feminine vibe. He has thin average sized lips, that aren't too different or noticeable from other males. He has light freckles plastered across his face, most are around his cheeks, under his nose. Caden, when neutral, has a constant bored or emotionless facial expression. When happy, or "excited" his face often matches those depicted in movies as the killer--- Meaning he just looks crazy. Caden's hair is a jet-black color, and appears unnatural. His hair is straight, and can grow to be quite long. Caden keeps his hair in the form of several large dreadlocks all over his head, which are all medium-length. Which gives him a humorous look--- Despite his vicious personality. Caden constantly speaks with a smooth, charming British accent like the ones you'd see on TV.

Attire: Nothing special or striking. Caden dresses up to be bland and forgettable. On wards, he's always seen wearing a hoodie (usually grey or black) unzipped with a white T-shirt under it. He'll wear any types of pants; jeans, cargo pants, sweat pants. He needs glasses to see properly; so he wears some very round and nerdy glasses.

Personality



Hobbies/Interests: Caden has an elevated interest in sports like basketball, football and baseball. While he's not skilled at all at them--- he just enjoys watching it. Caden's interests also include, eldritch abominations, swashbuckling adventure heroes, sports played by meta-humans, bowties, Alice in Wonderland, darkness, and snakes.

Skills/Talents: Caden's other skills include skills include marksmanship, playing the guitar, tracking, packing things, painting, and sorting things.

Goals: Return to the Othergrounds no matter the cost and "rescue" Lemontea and his allies. Afterwards he wants to establish meta-humans as the dominant species. In the mean time he wants to gather an army of Meta-human followers.

History/Bio: While Caden doesn't know this he was born from a family that'd turn out to be very wealthy. Despina Allwolds and Danik West were his parents, they lived in Columbia, South Carolina where they met in a bar really late at night and got drunk. Yeah, he's the bastard child that neither of his parents wanted and since they didn't like the concept of abortion he was almost immediately given up for adoption. Afterwards he was completely forgotten about. He didn't have a very eventful life bouncing from foster parent to foster parent basically hating each and every one of them. Most of the time they had enough of him and kicked them out where he went to another household only to repeat the same process. As he grew up he distanced himself from these foster families and tried to live as if he wasn't bound by them. Like an adult. Only failing horribly in the process. Experimenting with everything that he could until he was kicked out one more time. At this time he was fifth-teen years old, that was too old for him to be adopted again. No family simply wanted an unruly teenager under their roof. Especially since Caden had became near-sociopathic.

While he was spending his last few years in the orphanage he had left, he had discovered his "gift" incidentally---- [Redacted]. Months later he had received his own letter from the Sparrowdale academy and went straight there. During his first induction... he's had some less than stellar interactions with the people that he came with. The person that he had scorned the most was Valentina Casillas. An Indian/American girl who had a rather aggressive personality. After their induction process was over, Caden had clashed several times with Valentina during his "freshman" period of the school. Which slowly escalated from verbal fights, to physical battles, to all out death-matches in the middle of the lunch-room. Before it could escalate even further the officials at the Othergrounds had stepped in and threw both of them into the Detention Center for several days. Afterwards they had quashed their rivalry. While in the eyes of the staff and students they had stopped hating each other. Their burning hatred of each other remained.

After that stage had ended: Caden had learned so much from the school. Much more than simple powers. He had ideals in his head that were less than pleasant. Years passed and Caden had started his own web of friends. Some people saw him as a good person... While others saw him as a maniac ready for the kill. One person he got extremely close to was a vagrant that had lived on the street for months, she called herself Lemontea. The two had some sort of connection to each other; both were vagrants that were unwanted by their parents and they had rough sides. When they were around each other it looked like they were completely different people. Lemontea was pleasant, while Caden was more caring and empathetic (towards her). She was the person that had inspired Caden to fulfill his goal in life. For her he would make meta-human kind the dominant species. Even if many fell in the process.

This plan would require him to form himself an army. Possible recruits were easy; he was in a school for Meta-humans. He also had many friends on his side. All he'd have to do is start spreading his ideals. Shortly, but surely, he had a group of people who believed in his plans. Almost everyone else called him a monster. It didn't phase him--- All that really mattered to him was that he had a small group of followers. The next step would be leaving the school. Rumors had spread of Caden's plans. Which had spread to the higher ranks of the school. They were especially wary of him, and he returned the feelings. It didn't long for Caden to form a plan for escape. Taking advantage of the school policies. If a student wanted to leave the Othergrounds they would be sedated again, and returned to the very place they came from. He thought of a plan for all of his followers to meet in one-place; Black Fall. The plan would have went smoothly if it wasn't for one... deterrent.

His old rival Valentina. She had heard of Caden's plans and taunted him in a hallway. Calling him all manners of mad-man, sociopath and other terms. None of it really phased Caden and he ignored it... Until Valentina took a jab at Lemontea, then he was enraged. A short battle took place, both of them have grown so much stronger. However in the end Caden proved to be the stronger one. School officials approached the scene and Valentina was found impaled through the chest and stabbed several times. It was suspected that she was killed instantly. With Caden standing over her body. It didn't take Sherlock Holmes to put together who killed her. Caden immediately fled and attempted to escape capture. The school went into high-alert for Caden and all of his followers. It got so bad that the Headmaster himself came out to capture Caden

Caden had no where to go. The school was in lockdown and there was no way of escape other than getting exiled. It was likely that they would imprison him in stasis. Through much running he eventually found himself in the plaza... Face to face with the last person he wanted to see. The Headmaster, Caden knew it had to be this way. If he was going to fall he was going to make sure that the king of them would fall first. An enormous battle took place between the two, and both were pushed to their limits. Many had gathered around the scene to watch in horror--- But, no one else intervened. This was something... Above them. As the battle got much more intense, Caden managed to get a devastating move on the headmaster; slashing him with claws of darkness that nearly took half his face off. This unfortunately had activated his Omega burst... Which was enough to take Caden down. The ambitious leader was defeated and his allies were abandoning him. Seeing him as nothing.

The next day Caden found himself in the detention center. He was presented with two choices; admit to the crime and they'll let him go free, or face an eternity in stasis. Naturally Caden took the former option--- Which by go free they meant that they were going to exile him. The next moment he was sedated and hours later he was found in the very place he came from. The orphanage. It was closed down and abandoned. He broke into the place to search around in the name of memories before finding that he had left something important behind. Caden bagged this possession and left the orphanage behind him. Slowly but surely Caden spent several months moving towards the rendezvous point; Black Fall, on Lemontea's favorite park. He waited weeks for them to return. But, no one came. There was no choice, they had abandoned him. If they had abandoned them he would have to start over. That was the choice he had made.

Caden went on to the streets of Black Fall to start a legend...

Abilities

Power Class: Elemental, Super-System, Extra-sensory, andOther

Power: Caden's power is essentially that of a Darkness Elemental. Not actual Darkness, a bit more like the poetic terms of Darkness. Negative Emotions, Evil, Sin--- that jazz. Now, on to what she can actually do. This power goes down several different paths fueled by his own darkness, and the darkness in others. First and main use of his power, Caden can generate jet-black smoke that has a liquidity, metallic look, from anywhere on his body. Which is essentially darkness. He can control this darkness much like the traditional elemental, he can levitate it and shape it into anything. Green Lantern style. Usually this darkness is intangible and won't have too much uses--- aside from acting as a smoke screen. However, he can solidify the darkness, and essentially create anything within reason. Green Lantern style. Weapons, Walls, Small Objects. Anything, as long as it isn't too big. His secondary use is the ability to become this darkness. While this darkness he has complete control over himself allowing him to change any each aspect of his body in order to manipulate the size, shape, and dimensions of every part of his body. One of the main uses of this power is stretching parts of his body to extend his reach. While in this form Caden can also fly, and turn into smoky darkness--- Allowing him access to everywhere that isn't sealed air tight. Caden's darkness form makes him much more resistant to damage, mostly blunt damage. This darkness isn't actual darkness, it's merely the physical manifestation of people's darkness. Making it unaffected by light and/or darkness as much as any other object.

Caden's next darkness power is that he can sense the darkness in people's hearts in the vicinity. Everyone has darkness in their hearts, whether a small amount or great darkness. It's more of a people sense. When people are packed together it's near impossible to pick them apart. It's a rather irritating part of his gift. Since it takes much concentration to pick people's separate darkness apart. This ability also grants him a mental "dark-spot". If anyone with a telepathic or other cerebral-type ability tries to enter his mind, all they'll see is darkness. This power grants him complete immunity to all cerebral powers that could affect his mind.

Caden can also "shadow-step". It's a simple teleportation where he takes himself (in darkness form) apart and puts it back together at a location of choice. It can be anywhere his eye can see, from short distances to long distances. However, larger distances can be quite taxing on him. Caden can do this ability quite often, almost seconds after preforming it again. He usually does this ability while in fights, teleporting behind and to the sides of his opponents. Avoiding damage while maximizing it to them.

Caden has much skill with his ability. Inventing advanced fighting techniques and mixing his ability to teleport, and sense people's darkness with high speed, hard hitting attacks. There are also a few more secret abilities that Caden has at his disposal.

Weaknesses: Caden's darkness power is fueled by his own Negative emotions/thoughts, Sin and it's supplied by others. It's mostly supplied by the form. So if he's alone or with a few people then his powers will be much weaker. His power requires absolute calmless (or apathy) to be used at full strength. Bearing strong emotions will cause his powers to fluxed between normal power and significantly weaker. While he's his Darkness form he doesn't have any form of intangibility. He'll take damage like a solid normal human being, though he can take quite a bit of blunt damage. This unfortunately doesn't apply to slice attacks and etc. His mental dark-spot also has a weakness. It only works if he's at full strength, if he gets too injured/distracted it won't work. It also won't work if he shows strong emotion.

Burst Potential: Alpha, Zeta, Gamma, Omega and Theta

How bad is it that I know what characters to expect from most of the users here? :I

Extremely

Vipera likes to fuse her people into some animal mutant things with special snowflake personalities and feminine frames (when she's a god damn ant), Maxx likes to try to be creepy with his characters (when I visualize them they just look kind of ridiculous).

Being honest with you Lone, while your characters aren't as predictable as the others, as they all differentiate from each other greatly, you seem to go for powers that relate to emotion, or otherwise cannot necessarily manifest themselves in the physical world. I'm not pointing that out as a flaw, I'm just pointing out an observation I made. Those types of powers seems to be your shtick and you play well with them.

Actually, I agree with you. I have been making plenty of emotion-based powers and I'm going to be avoiding them for quite a bit before it becomes the norm. (I kinda decided that before your post)

I'm not sure how you can call my characters predictable in this rp Lieo, considering that you don't know two of my characters' powers. Most of my characters aren't really that creepy. I suppose you could say that about my animal mutants however. Not sure how you can make a scorpion-man not sound absolutely ridiculous. I also understand where you're coming from with The Watcher, considering that he's been in a grand total of five roleplays before, though his powers are usually different. He only has one power this time that he's had before.

Basic Information

Name: Shayton Wyatt Ezui
Nickname/Alias: The Old Man, The Goat
Gender: Male
Age: 33
Height: 6'2
Weight: 249


Appearance

Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Black
Ethnicity: Jamaican
Physical Appearance: Shayton is a tall, yet overweight man. He always has a sleepy, bored look on his face. With his eyes usually half open. He usually doesn't seem very attentive. His head is very bony and angular. His chin is wide and bony as his face. He has a beer-gut which isn't well hidden by Shayton. He has had it since he was younger. His skin isn't that good due to the stretch marks and scars on his being (not too many with a story to tell). He does have a thin scar right under his left eyeball. His hair is very curly and short. It's brushed down the side on his head forming a sort of mini-afro around his head. He has a wicked-looking goatee. He usually takes small, light steps with his hands in his pocket. Due to his heritage he speaks with a thick southern accent with a bit of Jamaican here and there.

Attire: Shayton is currently wearing a dark blue trench coat unzipped with a small T-shirt under it. With a blue bandanna with a white "S" written on his forehead. He wears black pants and black cowboy-ish boots. Day to day his outfit changes, however. He's always seen wearing a black and white wide-brimmed fedora (currently it's over his bandanna) with his black tinted goggles wrapped around it. Most of the time when he's going about his business he walks around holding a Bible.


Personality

Innate Personality: Shayton is an infinite fountain of wisdom and intelligence despite his apathetic and lazy attitude. He tends to blurt out this wisdom constantly, with most of the people around him unaware that it's actually wisdom. He's always thinking, judging things and taking acting when he deems it necessary. He's relatively level headed and calm when faced with most situations due to his powers allowing him to more or less predict the future.


Outward Personality: Outwardly, Shayton appears to be a lazy person. He always seems to be less than attentive. He sometimes ignores people when in a conversation and looks away when he loses interest. He's a bit forgetful of minor-details like the location of those car keys he was looking for and will probably try to remember it for a few seconds before giving up. He also gets annoyed fairly easily by people, especially when they annoy him. Shayton tends to speak in a sarcastic or deapan tone when faced with threats, and will nonchalantly brush them off with a comment or two. He also acts like everyone else is under him at times. Preferring to do things his way and that everyone else should be silent. Usually Shayton keeps to himself unless it's important or he's addressed. He has an insane amount of self-control and thinks through almost everything.


Hobbies/Interests: Shayton likes to read books. Any book really. Most of the time he reads his Bible. He is a Christian.


Skills/Talents: Nothing that hasn't already been noted.


Goals: To catch them all. Shayton's only goal seems to be living a quiet, peaceful life.
Favorite color: 
Prized Possession: His Bible.


Relationships

Family: 

• Mother: Deceased
  
• Father: Distant relationship
  
• Maternal Grandmother: Friendly relationship
  
• Maternal Grandfather: Distant relationship
  
• Paternal Grandmother: Distant relationship
  
• Paternal Grandfather: Estranged
  

Friends: For years Shayton held no close relationships to anyone. People had visited him often for his divination. They have formed minor relationships with them, but Shayton never called them "friends". One person who he'll always call a friend is Samson Jeross. They have a brother-like relationship.

Enemies: Shayton doesn't exactly get along with younger people.

Lovers: None, Shayton is asexual.

Marital Status: Single

Abilities


Power Class: Elemental (main class), Extra-Sensory

Power: Shayton has the power to control and create Dust and he can also control fallen leaves. He can control both domestic dust you'd see lying around, and he can control soil/atmospheric dust. He can pull dust from the area and create a whirlwind made out of dust strong enough to knock people off their feet or create a dust storm to blind people. If Shayton is given enough dust and an small enclosure he can possibly create a powerful dust explosion (Google it) with a simple spark. Shayton can explode into a cloud of dust and leaves giving himself a sort of intangibility. His current outfit is incorporated -somehow- into it. Attacks will go right through him when in dust form and he can slip into small openings (like Keyholes and cracks). He can also partially turn into dust and control the limb made out of dust freely and he can fly to an extent while in dust form. Shayton can also use dust from the area around him to fill up his wounds.

However Shayton has a form of Divination using dust and leaves. So he collects a large amount of either into a pile, he can focus for a few moments on what he wants to know and wave his hand over it. Then it rearranges itself into a pattern that tells the future. More leaves/dust means "seeing" further into the future and more accurate predictions.

Weaknesses: Sticky liquids/dust are Shayton's biggest weakness. As dust will stick to it, and it will be near impossible to get off, even with his level of skill. He can only stay in his dust form for a few minutes at tops, then he'll have to wait before using it again. However, if he turns part of his body into dust then he'll be able to retain that form for longer. Shayton isn't dust all the time, he has to transform. So if he's caught off guard or by surprise then he'll get the hit. There's a limit to how much dust he can produce from his body at any given time, up to five pounds of dust then he has to wait until he can produce anymore. Also, strong winds can easily break his control and spread the dust he's controlling all over the place.

Burst Potential: Delta and Theta

Other:

Dust manipulation is an interesting power, I was personally thinking about someone who could control rocks.

Damn it.

Basic Information

Name: Colin Timothy Pimm
Nickname/Alias: Cheeks
Gender: Male
Age: 15
Height: 5'4
Weight: 183


Appearance

Hair Color: Bright Blonde
Eye Color: Blue
Ethnicity: American
Physical Appearance: Colin is a short and young looking child. He has similar features to the rest of his family. Colin doesn't exactly have the best looking build. People will notice the pot-belly that sticks out of the clothes he wears. He also has chubby arms and legs. Most of the time he'll look like he can't exactly run that fast. He has a pudgy, rounded face. With wide and round cheekbones. In fact, he has the single largest cheek bones in the Pimm family. People often mock him for this. He has short, small rounded ears that are normally hidden under his hair style. Colin has a short nose with very wide nostrils. His lips are very small and thin to the point where people often forget that they're even there. His eyes are small and have a pretty shade of blue. Most of the time Colin sports a facial expression of determination, obedience and respect constantly. Which is a reference to his obedient personality. Colin has olive-colored Caucasian skin. If it didn't have a few scars and the several stretch marks on him, then it may have been considered good looking skin. There is a few notable scars on him. One scar is a particularly ugly looking one. It's a jagged scar that rests on his forehead above his right eyeball. This scar is bright red colored and appears to have been made recently. The next scar he has is on his right shoulder, down past his chest all the way to his thigh. This scar looks like he was impaled with four long needles and it was dragged through his flesh. When he's asked about this he usually doesn't answer or tense up. Colin has short, straight, blonde hair. It doesn't have a particular style since it's cut very short.

Attire: Colin has a rather exquisite wardrobe. One thing that can be noticed is that he always wears something blue. Whether it's a blue tuxedo or a blue t-shirt. It can be any shade of blue. Other than that his exact outfit changes day to day. One thing he can be seen wearing is something rather goofy. A large top-hat, which has a thin-brim and is high up. This top-hat is colored bright blue and down the middle and sides has golden studs in it. This is his favorite hat in the world.

Personality


Hobbies/Interests: His interests include plush animals, painting, and environmentalism.

Skills/Talents: Colin's skills include woodcarving, glassblowing, baking, lying, public speaking, painting and marksmanship.

Goals: Find a way to permanently separate himself from the Pimm family and start living life. In his own way.

Lovers: None
Marital Status: Single 


Abilities

Power Class: Cerebral

Power: Phantasm Puppetry. Colin can create translucent silhouettes of himself that exactly mimic his current appearance. Colin calls these "Puppets". One aspect of them is that they're nearly impossible to see (when they're under certain lights they appear to be white and transparent). When people look at them they'll appear like vaguely shaped masses of blurry air. The Puppets can interact with the physical world much like their master does. They can pick up stuff, attack people, etc. These Puppets feel exactly like glass and often when they walk they sound exactly like a bottle taking footsteps. They do anything that Colin commands them to do, there is no limit. He controls the Puppets like he's controlling himself, it's exactly like if he was controlling multiple people at once. Colin can see, taste, feel, and smell through the Puppets and he feels what they feel. He can only create five at a time (More on this in the weaknesses section)

A use for this power that Colin has discovered is that he can "Infuse" them into objects. In order to enhance specific property's of said object. Generally, the linked object becomes more robust and less prone to wear, however additional traits can be added depending on the linked object. For example, Colin could infuse one of his puppets into his hat and it'd be hard as body armor.

Abilities that Colin will unlock once he advances his powers are; the ability to control the Puppet's size and shape, the ability to make them levitate and possibly he can separate his consciousness from his body and become a ghost.


Weaknesses: Puppets under certain frequencies of lights can be revealed. Under all Ultraviolet lights these Puppets will immediately be revealed to the world. Ironically, blue colors in the optical spectrum allow people to see them easily. Allowing people ease at attacking them. Puppets aren't completely invisible--- Only really hard to see. Someone up close can see it better than someone a mile away. The Puppets aren't very durable, they're actually strong as glass. One strong hit and they'll shatter completely. All it takes is shattering it and they'll be destroyed. Colin can only create five at a time--- But, the more he controls at one time, the harder it'll be to control all of them. The most Puppets Colin can create in a day is ten. If he tries to make more they'll instantly shatter and it'll wear him out.


Burst Potential: Delta, Gamma and Theta

Okay, your powers are just getting more and more interesting, Lone.

Thank you, I was working on other things when that idea just popped in my head and I just had to use it.

Now, I'm a bit behind on the IC, I'll try to put it up right now.

That was one of my longer posts. Anyone can start off in the 22nd Century club. Pm me if you need a description of anything. Btw, I'm messing around with the ages of my characters a bit, just so y'all know.


EDIT: Lone, Dante isn't in the OP. You did accept him, right?

Just forgot to add him.


Anyways, anyone can interact with my characters... I still need to finish up the rest of them. Heh.


Shayton can be in the woods if that's okay with you, Vipes.

Depending on how everything else goes, I might make one more character for this. I noticed that all of my characters hold some place of literature authority (Ie-they're not just gonna be walking around the streets) so I might just make kind of an average person.

Oh man I didn't know this was here, too! Shoot >3<

Hey Mata. Long time no see. How's it going?

Wondrously! What about y'all? :3
