The Othergrounds - Superpower OOC (Always Open)

Oh Grau, Vipes; next post and I'm going to have the traitor go after the animal metas.

Taylor: That is tres deranger!

Ryan: Hm... upon reading your mind, I have come to the conclusion that you are... Na. Not telling. You won't like the answer.

Hah, Maxx, you fool, don't you realize that Mr. Teddy is entirely impervious to your character's powers?

Now, the Traitor is going after the Animal-types.


Also, I edited in Johnny's perspective a few posts back.

Kk.

What's a mr.teddy?

Alright, I'm going to wait for everyone else to catch up before I post again.

LOL! I love that meme.

So...about the whole no new characters thing.....

You can make plenty of characters until the next act, when I put restrictions on newcomers.

Word.

Basic Information

Name: Luciana Rojas

Nicknames: "Luce", La Cordera

Gender: Female

Age: 23

Height: 5'8

Weight: 135

Appearance

Hair Color: Dark brown.

Eye Color: Brown.

Nationality: Columbian

Physical Appearance:

She's one of those types who may as well hang a sign around her neck that says, "Trouble's here". Luciana is drop-dead gorgeous, albeit she doesn't receive as much male attention as she did before she lost her eye. The black eyepatch and the scar that barely peeks out from underneath it permanently cover her left eye, which means she gets through those vision charts at the doctor's in half the time as normal people!

Luciana's a handful. She's equally likely to flash a dazzling, killer smile at someone, or sway her curved hips a little more than is necessary when walking as she is to stay cold and aloof, issuing only a grunt in acknowledgement of someone's presence. She carries a certain hardness to her: she's headstrong and independent, and it shows in her mannerisms and appearance. Luce wears a small golden rosary, which is perhaps the last vestige of her faith, but normally doesn't dress too stylishly. Her wardrobe choices lean more towards practical than fashionable, although she's at least unique. For her stay at the Othergrounds, she'll be rocking a flannel shirt beneath her vaquero-style jacket (vaquero-style is inaccurate: it's the real thing) and, to top off the look, a handkerchief tied around her neck (apt to be lifted up over her face during a fight). She's fond of a desperado hat, deep brown and weathered from the years. She normally wears jeans, a heavy gunbelt, and boots that have walked and ridden just as many miles as they have kicked asses. Luciana's not familiar with the term "concealed carry" and tends to carry her armament rather blatantly, which, on the one hand, serves as a great deterrent, but also tends to reveal her hand, so to speak. Luciana's pretty, if a bit off-setting to most with the eyepatch and the cowboy get-up (which, most come to realize, isn't exactly a get-up). She tends to scowl when alone, but usually puts on a contented smirk or overly-cheery grin in public.

Personality

Innate Personality: Todos estos personas son tontos.

Outward Personality: Luce is flirty, snarky, and jovial, but beneath it all, she's cold. Luce was not benefited with the privileged upbringing of most of the cast of the Othergrounds, and it shows in her diplomatic skills. She's used to playing hardball and treating paranoia as a natural mechanism for making it through the day, so she's a bit out of place in some social settings, and is likely to cause tension within in the group. However, she's got a sense of honor, and tends to stick true to her word if given, but she's just as apt to double-cross someone or try and wriggle free through a technicality. Ultimately, she's watching out for herself (and, indirectly, her brother), and anyone who gets in the way of that goal is merely an obstacle to be overcome-or removed. Such is her outlook on life, and it will continue to be her outlook until she reaches an obstacle she can't overcome or remove.

Hobbies/Skills: She's a great horseback rider and a crack shot. Additionally, she's skilled at hablaing the Espanol, and is doing alright with English after a few years of dealing with it. Luce has done her fair share of illegal CENSORED, and knows her way around drugs, liquor, lockpicking, cigarettes, and how to deal with criminal types. Additionally, she's good at thinking tactically and makes up for a lack of formal education with her conniving nature and untrained wit

History/Bio: Here are the broad strokes: the emergence of metahumans in less developed places, such as Africa, the nastier, gang-ridden places of South America, had a far different reaction than places like the US or Europe. Some of the militias in Africa weren't above using children before, and children that could control fire or call down thunder were merely an added bonus. Likewise, Luciana's early childhood was spent on her family's ranch, but when financial catastrophe forced Luce and her father into less-than-reputable lines of work to cover loose ends, she started putting her natural gifts-all of them-to good use. Through means she's not entirely sure of, she's wound up at the Othergrounds, and plans on busting out and getting clear of the US before the DEA or similar organizations catch up with her. How exciting. Shame I can't write normal characters. They're all traumatized CENSORED-ups.

Favorite color: None.


Abilities

Power Class: Super System, Energy

Power:

First, Luce can control centripetal, centrifugal, and "rotational" energy (I didn't have a good grade in Physics, so cut me some slack with the science behind this). This mostly manifests in her ability to control anything that spins or follows a curved path: she can amplify the force behind it, accelerate it, etc. For example, were she on a loop-de-loop roller coaster, she could make that CENSORED go at a couple thousand miles per hour if needed, or if she were, say, firing a gun, she could cause the spin of the bullet to alter its trajectory wildly. She normally employs this in the form of superhuman accuracy with her firearms, empowering her bullets to out-spin silly things like gravity and lead time. Her usage of these forces will defy logic/scientific explanation, because I have no idea what the hell I'm talking about. She could, for example, cause bullets to spin far faster than normal, throwing off their path, or amplify the force behind a primitive sling to crush a brick wall.

Second, Luce has killer reflexes. Just to play off the theme going with her powers already, let's say it's because her eyes can "flip" the image from upside-down to right-side up waaaay faster than normal people. Actually, no, we're not gonna say that, that's bullshit. Regardless, she's a quick draw, and moves with incredible agility and dexterity.

Finally, and this is not a true power in the sense of it being from a metahuman source, Luce is skilled. She's been working with cartels for quite some time now, and such a line of work tends to separate the wheat from the chaff. Luce, while denied things like literacy beyond the basics, schooling past middle school, and the healthy psyche of a normal child, did learn how to survive.

Weaknesses:

No depth perception. No peripheral vision on her left side. Poor literacy skills in Spanish and literally none in English, she only knows how to speak it. Furthermore, she doesn't have the best people skills, and may be psychologically traumatized a little. As far as her power goes, she gets vertigo from excessive use of her powers and, well, her power is pretty situational. I can impose more weaknesses if necessary, but I'm struggling to find one that comes to mind.

Burst Potential: Alpha, Zeta, Theta

Other: Ella es La Cordera. Might be able to help with Drake's nicotine deprivation. Her belongings, presumably confiscated when she was taken to the Othergrounds, consist of: two Colt Single Action Armies, chambered for .45 L, a rag and some oil for cleaning them, a bandolier with sixty (+12) rounds, a wickedly sharp knife, her hat, a few packs of cigarettes and a lighter, and probably various quantities of illegal drugs. She was returning home alone from a job when her memory gets fuzzy, and she awoke in the Othergrounds. Also, I'm aware of the fact she seems like a walking stereotype right now, I plan on having her depths explored (oh that was a poor choice of words) as the RP progresses. So, uh, any Columbian drug traffickers reading this, we cool.

Accepted

Hm, I might try to slide Jaylen in before the next act. Don't know. I'll have to think about if I can handle it.

Decide soon.



The power is going to come back on, shortly.

Edited in some stuff with Luce into my earlier post. I'm going to mix her up with Johnny/Ryan/Taylor/Lexy if that's alright-I feel like she and Johnny are kindred spirits.

That was kind of a toolish, intrusive way to introduce Luce, buuuuut I'm sure everybody's used to me doing that by now. Lone, if you have any problems with her belongings let me know and I can change them/nix the post entirely.
