The Freaks OOC: We're back.

Great! This is gonna be good!

Feel fee to post whenever you want guys.

Anyone is free to talk to Johnny inside of the casino.

Okay, Hildegard is tearing up Mississippi. She would be better suited as a villain, I think, but anyone who comes in and gives her food or speaks gently is a friend.

What is your name?: Damon Viscous

How old are you?: 27

Are you male or female?: Male

What do you look like?: Damon appears to be an English-American man whose hair is light black and short cropped and is paired up with a clean shaven face that shows off his paleness of his skin; which contrasts with his hazel eyes that glimmers with intelligence. He has a somewhat slouched posture during relaxed, casual occasions, but can stand up straight with shoulders broad at 5’11” when the situation calls for formality. The man’s build is average; he isn’t athletic, and he doesn’t have chiseled abs – but living on the run has kept him somewhat active so while he does have some body fat, it isn’t in excessive amounts. He has a worn down, brown leather jacket that appears to be riddled with holes, and beneath that is a simple white t-shirt, also appearing to have many holes in it. In fact, almost every piece of his clothing appears to have holes in it, even the black designer jeans (you probably shouldn’t ask him where he got it). The only exception there seems to be are these rough looking brown leather boots, that may or may not be steel toed, but I’m sure you wouldn’t want to find out. He also seems to have a bandana that’s wrapped loosely around his neck that doesn’t appear to be there for any purpose other than just being there

Damon’s complexion is rather fine actually, save for the occasional blemish or inflammation caused by irritation of the skin. One thing that an observant person would notice about him is that his skin doesn’t show. His hands are usually tucked in his pockets, his neck is wrapped in that bandana, all you can really of him-him is his face, which, if he was working, would appear stern and his brows creased in concentration and forethought. Or he could be smiling, which shows off the dimples in his cheeks. Most often though, if you were to find him on the streets, he would look wary. Almost jumpy, even. Just by looking at him you can tell he isn’t a murderer or a crook though. More like a man with a terrible secret, a burden that weighs him down with every step he makes.

What is your personality like?: Generally analytical and serious in his work place. He is oblivious to the world around him, nothing but pure concentration channeling into whatever he is doing, his intellect practically radiating off of him as his fingers blindingly zipping around the keyboard of his computer. In this train of thought, he has an air of authority that he could never achieve on his own consciously. Almost an alter-ego of his real self. Around company, he comes off as the sweetest, thoughtful gentlemen, which contrasts with the way he dresses. In truth, Damon is in fact an introvert, rather having to sit back whilst in a group or in the company of peers, which are few in between. However, he hides this with the mask of a positive disposition. He lacks assertiveness while in casual interactions, and has maybe one, maybe two friends if he’s lucky, that he can feel comfortable around.

His intelligence is an outstanding factor. What he lacks in physical aptitude, he makes up for being a tech wiz. He even made his own computer and rigged a mobile wifi hotspot, which allows him to cruise the internet as fast as a roadrunner. While on the run, he has gotten by only by a side job that he has (along with stealing occasionally). He is capable of hacking into computers and software, creating and deleting Trojans, and even creates spikes, USB’s and data chips to give to people. Technically, this is illegal, but technically, Damon doesn’t really give a rat’s CENSORED because the law has hunted him down for countless years. It also pays a fortune, hacking for people. To an average citizen that doesn’t know his story, he would be morally depraved, and a sad man. Damon prefers the term morose, or maybe even forlorn. But he does what he can to get by. Despite what the upstanding citizen may think of him, he does have a great deal of morals and he does his best to abide by them. He has managed to go this many years without harming someone again.

What is your power?: Damon is a living hive. Africanized bees infest his body, unbeknownst to the people around him. Inside of him are what could be hundreds upon thousands of bees, and they’re even crawling about in his clothes, which are the cause of the holes his clothes that he has tried desperately to replace, but new holes keep being torn open to allow easy access. He has since given up. It’s also the reason why he wears so much clothing in the first place, and covers his skin. Littered upon his body are holes. It’s like an underground system, from within his abdomen, his legs, his back, his arms, and even in the palms of his hands. The bees, since their initial occupancy, have ravaged much of the internal organs of Damon’s body to point of non-functionality. What remains is his digestive system, respiration system, most of his circulatory system (which damaged much of his nervous system), and his head remains free of infestation. His reproduction system (due to the bees inhabiting most of the abdomen) has been damaged to the point that any actual reproduction would be impossible.

Damon has, to the slightest extent, extrasensory or telepathic abilities that allow him control over the insects that dwells within his body. The bees follow every one of his demands like a mindless robot, like pawns on a chess board. He also releases a specific pheromone that appeals to bees in the surrounding vicinity and lures them to him, and it also negates the pheromone that the queen bee has that keeps other female bees from reproducing. So, if allowed, he could be surrounded by a mass of writhing bugs with pointy stingers of colossal size. However, that would increase the rate of physical and mental deterioration. The fewer bugs he keeps occupied inside him, the means of self-defense decreases, but his humanity would be preserved a little longer. The more he has, his means of self-defense if astronomical, but his humanity would deteriorate faster. So it would only be a matter of time until he “dies” before he completely cracks and goes insane.

Since he is full of bees, he can adopt certain properties of them. Insects have natural strength in comparison to size, so he could be a little stronger. He could command them to hoist him into the air and allow him to fly. If he wanted to, and I doubt he does, he could shoot a stream of bees at the landing skids of a helicopter and send it crashing into the ground (reference). So, depending on the situation, he is capable of being a badass. Obviously, this ability is a mixed bag. A big down side is that, like said before, his body and mind is deteriorating. Body is obvious, with those holes in his body and all. The bees, at a certain point, planted themselves along the central nervous system and at the very edge of the brain stem. Think really hard about what that might turn into. Although he practically has complete control, there are some, incidents, so to speak, that can occur. A great deal of stress and anger can cause him to crack just a bit and make him go batshit for a minute or so. Any means of telepathy or mindreading also upsets the bees in the body which generates stress on Damon as well. So psychic powers can make him crack as well. Although this protects him from mind reading and telepathy to some extent, it is an uncomfortable experience that everyone would wish to avoid.

Anything else you'd like to tell me?: Damon is on the run from law enforcement because of: a. his mutant status, and b. a run in he had a long time ago. An accident occurred that involved the maiming and eventual death of a man that jumped him in a back alley once. Damon snapped, and the screaming that came afterward prompted an emergency call from a bystander. This one memory haunts him to this day. He has also been close friends with Winter Livsdotter since childhood.

And something about GATTACA 'n whatnot.

that is creepy, disgusting, revolting, and...


totally freaking awesome. Accepted. I'll add all the sheets to the OP later.

Do we need to re-post our sheets? o:

Last character for now. I can handle six characters like a bawss

Quote :

What is your name?: Megan Kayla Vyse (May not be real name)

How old are you?: 52

Are you male or female?: Female, in her default form. Her true form is gender-less, hence she cannot reproduce.

What do you look like?: Megan (in her default form) is a woman of youthful energy and has a strangely Gothic-like appearance, she appears to be way younger than she is like a teenager. To get started she is a European woman of light-olive colored flawless skin with no imperfections such as scars, blemishes, etc. She does have a few large and noticeable freckles sprinkled all across her face. She comes from a family of Britons, her Father, Mother, Grandmother are all from the great English Country, she has lived in England for a good majority of her younger years before departing for the states at the age of 27 to live with her family and experience new things. Since I couldn't resist this; she speaks with a heavy English accent in her natural voice. Megan has a slender, yet athletic build, with a bit of muscles on her being only visible to curious eyes and on her arms, her shoulders are a bit wide for a woman. Standing tall at 5'11 weighing exactly 153 pounds. She has abnormally-long arms and legs, it isn't genetic at all.


Megan has a square shaped face, very pronounced facial features. Due to her powers she is really attractive--- not the most attractive woman on Earth, but pretty easy on the eyes. On that subject she has slightly large and cat-like eyes, which are brown and very distinct in shape. She has a small nose, it's usually not the first thing you'll notice about her, and her ears are medium-sized and pointed at the tips. The color of her hair varies, naturally her hair is straight, and black. Styled as a tidy bobcut.


Megan dresses in a Gothic-like style without over doing it, the main part of her attire is her long knee-length frilled dress, it looks kinda like one of those dresses you'd see movie stars in. This dress has no sleeves and worn over it is a black unbuttoned vest made from the same material as her dress. Directly above her waist is a thick leather belt, which serves absolutely no purpose other than adding on to her style. When she's wearing this dress she has on barely transparent thigh-high/hold-up stockings, and all black combat boots, these are clearly made for men but she doesn't exactly care. Finally, around her neck carries a diamond necklace, not one of those highly expensive ones, nope. The cheap ones that you can get from the malls.


Of course she tends to wear other things when the situation calls for it. This is her casual attire.

What is your personality like?: Megan is a very polite woman and very sarcastic at the same time. She doesn't seem to be phased by things like violent murder or the possibly of dying--- she views her own death as irrelevant and have been in so many situations that she knows what panicking like a hormonal teenager is very counter-productive. Speaking of which she likes to get to know people (especially of the meta-human variety) inside-out, more or less literally. Meaning she'll try especially hard to figure out their personality, their depts, and their secrets. She's also fond of people in dangerous and life-threatening situations as to her it's a great way to find out how people will react while in them--- as to her it's a great way to find out about them. She's not above putting people in those situations. Megan speaks with a heavy British accent and tends to say lots of things in her sentences and statements and has the habit of going off subject and ramble on about other things (you may be talking about a apple, and she'll start talking about apples, then shortly start talking about the contents of a apple, then it'll somehow shift to apple juice distributors) lest you stop her and remind her of the subject. Speaking of which; she's very intelligent, and patient, she can pick up on things that people don't. She's also the type to head out and interact with people and act of as a sort of commentator--- she'll find someone she enjoys being around and she'll cling to them until she has discovered everything about them.


Megan doesn't believe in things that many of us do, such as morality and other petty things of that class. She'll become friends with the Priest that touches little boys never being put off by previous infractions that don't even relate to her. Though, once she's had enough of your personality she'll likely disappear and never be seen again. Of course her own morality in the eyes of others seems to change constantly, she can be good by helping the baby, then sinister as letting a vicious dog out on it. All to see how'd you react.


Of course, she can easily assume a different personality easily as she can shape-shift.


What is your power?: All of her perfect and flawless appearance is because she is a shape shifter, her looks are taken from other people. You see, Megan can copy aspects of people depending on what part of them she consumes. So to elaborate on a greater level; if she drinks someone's spit then she'll be able to speak in their voice at will, if she eats a bit of someone's skin/hair she can change into their face, if she drinks someone's blood then she'll be able to change into their body, and if she licks up someone's tears then she'll have their eyes. As you may have already thought; she just goes around and if she sees something she likes on someone then she'll work to acquire it and add it to her being. At will she can change things about herself, such as change her skin color to any natural shade, or change the color of her iris, and she can do this while having some one else's form so she can easily disguise herself.


But, the ability that really takes the cake is her... hm. Absolute shape shifting, as I'll call it. She'll be able to shape shift into a perfect copy of someone having all their looks, memories, personality, and even power. At a horrible cost of course. She'll have to cut someone's head open and eat a piece of someone's brain. That is something undesirable because one; it requires the person to be dead (and she isn't even that cruel) and it's a messy process. Though, she has done this several times before, and has a few powers under her belt. She has smoke generation, can generate needles with a poison that induces paralysis and minor-magnetic manipulation (like she can lift up things like spoons and bullets but not cars)


Another ability that Megan processes is that on touch she can shape shift into object as long as it's no bigger than herself. Almost anything, though unlike her human shape shifting abilities she can only turn into one object after she touches it. And she can still feel pain while being the object, and in that form she'll take damage like a human--- meaning if it breaks then she'll start gushing out blood and when she reverts back to a human she will be injured.


Now, there are quite a few drawbacks to this amazing ability. The biggest weakness is that her body is extra sensitive and frail at the same time. So, someone poking her will hurt her much more than a regular human and her skin will get ripped up far easier, cold and heat are also extra bad for her. Next, there are things that Megan can't copy, such as unnatural alterations to a being (Tattoos, Dyed Hair, etc) or scars. So, if she turns into that man that is covered in tattoos it's a dead give away, but that's not going to be the case most of the time. Say if she copies Jake's appearance she won't have that noticeable scar under his eye. Finally, if she falls unconscious or goes to sleep she'll revert back to her default form (the form described in her appearance section) and if she's damaged too much she'll also revert back to the default form. Some frequencies of sound and light will also cause her to turn into her TRUE form which is worse than her default form.


You don't want to see her true form.

Anything else you'd like to tell me?:

Okay, I'll repost mine just to be safe >w<

@lone: so...she's a cannibal?

Oh hell, accepted.

Basically. =P

What is your name?: Winter Livsdotter

How old are you?: 29

Are you male or female?: Female

What do you look like?: Winter possesses dark skin and pale-sea-moon eyes. Her short, coarse hair, held back by a meek black band, curls forward to cup the back of her skull and terminate just above her shoulders. Her tense, suspicious posture recalls one who hides their confidence under a drooping shell. The muscles of her face seem naturally resistant to change. Thin lips appear perpetually half-puckered, allowing quiet breezes of air to pass through the small dark gap between them. Winter's short, stubby nose complements her flat round ears, and her frozen eyes seem to cloud with a gaze paradoxically intense in its stark blandness whenever Winter wishes to guard her thoughts. Her thin, bony shoulders oscillate lazily with her abnormally slow breaths, as if she takes great care in assuring that her lean skeleton and the springy muscles it host do not suddenly snap or fall to shambles.

What is your personality like?: Winter looks upon most other people as one might a tennis ball dropped freshly from the mouth of a salivating retriever. She is not afraid to steal, lie, or cheat to benefit herself, and prefers many of these activities to face-to-face contact. Her moral compass suggests larger crimes only when absolutely necessary to safeguard her own interests. She is not without friends and acquaintances, but loathes to make new ones; enemies, she likewise avoids. Winter fancies that she would enjoy it if everyone on the planet talked it over and decided to leave her be for the remainder of her life, though she unknowingly relies upon the presence of others as a negative model on which to guide her life.

What is your power?: Winter has a curious, volatile ability of vivification. Given the proper amount of concentration, and prolonged contact, she can imbue a substance or mixture of substances with a peculiar quality resembling sapient life. Affected objects display primitive methods of thought, locomotion, and sometimes even communication. Winter discovered this ability one nightmarous morning at the age of eight, when the sandbox she was drawing pictures in shifted and yawned, attempting to swallow her whole. Ever since, Winter has been terrified of her ability and has revealed it to no one save one Damon Viscous, a dear friend ever since childhood.

There is another aspect to her power, as well. As whatever Winter is channeling energy into gradually comes to life, she herself begins to take on its properties. For instance, if attempting to vitalize a pool of water, Winter herself would slowly begin to liquefy in the process. During the few (and far between) tests she has conducted on her power, Winter has learned that there is a sort of middle ground where she and the host substance can share beneficial properties without destroying eachother. However, due to severe lack of practice, she has not yet learned how to maintain this equilibrium and is horrified at the thought of accidentally going too far and solidifying into stone, or perhaps becoming air particles and being scattered across the Earth by a stray breeze.

Anything else you'd like to tell me?: Friends with Damon ever since she was little, GATTACA

Name: Rachel Bates, also known as Valkyrie

age: 21

gender: female

Appearance: Rachel is a small girl, only being about 5'4" and 120 pounds. She is slender and thin, with a body resembling that of a gymnast's, so she's skinny, but not weak-looking. her skin is a tanned color, as she was born in Los Angeles, and is part latina. She has large eyes that are a hazel brown color, split apart by a small, almost soft-looking nose. her lips are a natural pale color, but are thick and full-looking. Her face in general is rather appealing, and is punctuated by dimples on either side of her mouth. She has long hair that's a soft brown color and falls down to just below her shoulder blade, though she normally has it up in a high ponytail. She dresses simply, normally wearing a v-neck tee shirt and yoga pants on a normal day, with a pair of running shoes.

Now, when Rachel is Valkyrie, she looks a good bit different. No one is quite sure exactly what The Valkyrie looks like, because for some reason, nobody can ever remember what she looks like. When trying to draw or write a description of her, they find their minds wandering and they lose their train of thought. However, a few do remember what she looks like, and only one picture exists of her. the Valkyrie wears a bronze-colored spandex costume that hugs her form tightly. On her feet and hands, she wears black knee-high boots and elbow-length gloves, respectively. A black utility belt is around her waist, and has smoke bombs, a harpoon gun (like the thing Rorschach uses in Watchmen to climb buildings), and a suppressed BXP submachine gun. She wears a shot black halfcape on her torso that is a little longer in the back, but not long enough to get caught in anything. On the front of the halfcape, there is a golden pair of wings that curve upwards and touch at the top. On her face, she wears a gold leaf eye mask that sticks on using a special gum, which also has the curving wing symbol in black between the eyes.

Power: Rachel/Valkyrie is known as an antimeme; she has the power of memory manipulation, which is why nobody can remember what she looks like. She can hack others' minds, and alter their memory, allowing her to delete any memory of her presence from the target's mind, or implant a memory of her own design into them. There are no real limits to her power, except that she cannot erase certain memories that had a major turning point in someone's life. For example, if you were to get married and have kids, Valkyrie cannot erase that from your mind.

yeah, my power section is short. So sue me!


theme:



Name: Ryan Romanski, also known as merlin's crystal
age: 38
gender: male

Appearance: Ryan, quite frankly, looks like a nerd. He is about 5'10", and weighs maybe 145 pounds. he is slim and gangly, having long arms and legs. His face is relatively hexagonal, his jaw being square and his large ears protruding from his head. His hair is blonde in coloration, and has almost a Jimmy Neutron-like flip on the top that is put together using a whole lotta hair gel. His face has a permanent scowl of disapproval. His eyes are a cold blue, and have a sarcastic light to them. On his long nose rests a pair of half-moon glasses that reflect the light. On his lip there normally rests a blonde mustache, and he normally has a goatee beard on his chin, which he strokes obsessively. He dresses formally and unpopularly, wearing a white short-sleeved dress shirt with an open collar, over which he wears a tweed vest that has a gold chain poking out of one of the pockets, where his pocket watch is. On top of the vest, he wears a tweed sportcoat On his bottom half he wears tan dress pants, which lead to black loafers.

When he becomes Merlin's Crystal, he wears a similar garb, though his jacket and vest become blue and he gains a pair of white gloves, a blue cane with a purple jewel atop it, and a black eye mask.

powers: Ryan has two powers that make him a powerful mutant. Firstly, he has 100% brain activity. You see, certain parts of your brain are unused and completely inactive, as they are left-over areas which are always ready to take over in case other parts of our brain are damaged. But nobody can actually use that large portion of backup brain, except for Ryan. This allows Ryan to become incredibly smart, have a great memory, and have laser-guided focus and reflexes. This extreme amount of intelligence gives Ryan a great amount of charisma too, allowing him to sweet talk his way into getting others to ally with him.

Secondly, Ryan is a technopath; he can control technology with his mind. He can turn it off, turn it on, take it apart, put it together -you name it, Ryan can do it. He can even imbue technology with human-like qualities like a personality and the ability to telepathically speak. His best (and only) friend is actually a washing machine by the name of Kenmore, or Ken, for short. This is because Ryan is so socially awkward that he never made any real friends, so he made appliances around his house come to life and talk to him. All of them have since failed and shorted out, except for Ken, who somehow survived the long years, thanks to some part replacing done by Ryan. Ken is able to move himself by bouncing, and can hold a charge for up to three hours without using a plug.

Myth. Myth and untrue. Google it. Mankind uses all 100% of their brains. Utilization is a different story. *casually refers to some Senators*

Did you know that a group of bamboos is called a congress (sometimes troup)?

In any case, here's my citation: http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=do-we-really-use-only-10

Lieo is correct on that. Mankind does use 100% of the brain, although one half from what I have heard is used less than the rest. Apparently, to use that part of your brain, all you have to do is something different. One such action I heard is just writing with your non-dominant hand.

so the movie Limitless lied to me???

I'm surprised nobody said anything about the talking washing machine. I was sure I'd feel the heat for that lol.

lol?



Wait, does the government send out guys to recruit people like they did in the first Freaks?

Yes, though it will be optional.

Well can you send them after Lash and Jake?

Depends, can you post in the IC?

I will.

I think Storm will whip up another nasty storm in west coast.

Alright. Just remember that it's February IC time.

While vipera does that, can somebody PLEASE explain the end of Watchmen to me? It doesn't make any sense! Why does everyone but Rorschach basically surrender when Ozymandias says that this is just the beginning of him making the perfect world? And why does Dr.Manhattan blow up Rorschach? I am so confused!

Made a post.



I'm going to post from Jake, Lash and Megan's perspectives later.

Can't explain what I know nothing about.
