[Cthulhu_of_R'yleh]

Iriesia isn't rich in the traditional sense, though some members of her family are.



Iriesia finds blackmail more reliable than lawsuits.

Most Nevasayan's would agree.

Most objectors are properly educated, so that they can see the truth.

I think there's going to quite a bit of fun to be had...

Rich people, the forgotten minority...

Well, I didn't want to copy Azrael's origins. Cas' origin is a little darker, and has more nitty gritty.

[Vakanai]

It just adds a nice little flair. It's like saying, "I could kill you. But I think I'll take my time and slowly flay the meat from your bones. All while using my powers to keep you alive." It also makes revenge all the more gratfying.

Think less flay and more 'At some point your blood will boil...'

Start another mini-team or something. Already got a 'rivalry' set up with Max... And I guess by extension her Bodyguard.

We have weird teams...

Adds a nice touch of depth to the character. And it's believable... You know, kind-hearted sadist...

Kind-hearted sadist is believable?

Well... I guess I've got my work cut out for me. Challenge Two Accepted.

What challenge?
And what was the first one?

[Cthulhu_of_R'yleh]

Think less flay and more 'At some point your blood will boil...'

I plan on doing something similar. But the flay you alive thing just has to be done to something at some point

We have weird teams...

Wierd teams? Or great teams?

Kind-hearted sadist is believable?

Yeah? I mean for me it's vaguely reminiscent of the Gunslinger, or I don't know Wolverine. I guess it just depends on how you play it.

What challenge?
And what was the first one?

Keeping up with your PC, of course. My first self-imposed challenge is trying to match or best Max's Bodyguard at some point earlier in the game, like a mini-quest. If Sub is ok with it.

[Chrosis]

NAME: Camryn (Cammy) Durand

GENDER: Female

HERITAGE/RACE: French/Caucasian

AGE: 16

WEAPON TYPE/MARTIAL SKILL: She has no martial skills.

APPERANCE: 5’6, 121 lbs



CHARACTER HISTORY & PERSONALITY: Camryn was always a bit different from the other children. She just didn’t have the same tastes. She didn’t keep up with styles, she didn’t enjoy the same music, and because of that, she never made many friends. As time went on, the friends she did have moved to other parts of the city. In the end, she was alone- most of the time, anyway. She still had parents who loved tried to help her socialize more, but it hasn’t made much of a difference. She joined sports teams- soccer/football and basketball specifically. There weren't any local teams though. The friends she made here were all spread out across a few districts. Playing sports gave her a competitive spirit and some drive, but in the end she was still alone.

Not really having friends to talk to left her very quiet without much self-esteem to speak of. She’s smart though- fairly intuitive too. Her grades were good and her teachers spoke well of her to her parents. Despite their support, she never really excelled in her classes. She was very nearly popular once- when she discovered her powers. Then she accidentally torched a car. Her social status plummeted again, the ridicule forcing her deeper into her shell.

And then, when things looked their bleakest, they came for her. Her parents were her only real lifeline, and was was taken away against her will. Kidnapped. Sure, the government made it look very official and sat down with her and her parents before hand, but in the end, nothing they could say or do would prevent her from being taken away. They told her that her powers made her a danger to herself and everyone around her- that she needed to be controlled. They said that left unchecked, her powers could make her a threat to the life of every man, woman, and child in the city. The Paragons told her that she was going to be put through a strict training regime, far more strict than what students normally go through. Her parents cried as they took her away. She begged them to not let them take her. They couldn't do anything.

She hated it. She hated them. She didn't want any of this. Given the chance, she'd give up her powers and run back to her parents and give life at school another chance. She was surrounded by elemancers, elemanti, and enhancers. She had never known any- only seen them from a distance. Her district had little need for them. Part of her was excited though- maybe the other 'students' here wouldn't be so bad. Maybe she'd find somewhere she belonged. Another part wanted to burn the place to the ground. The third part just wanted to cry.

THEME SONG: Two Steps from Hell - Elementum

PERSONAL SKILLS: Her personal skills include an ability to be overlooked (don’t question it, she can be very demure). She’s also very observant and can play the piano to a tolerable degree.

POWER TYPE: Elemanti

Power 1: Volcanus - Cammy's power manifests itself as the ability to control and manipulate volcanic energy, materials, and substances at will. When she channels this power, her arms and legs transform below the elbow and knee respectively. Her skin hardens and blackens, becoming blackened volcanic rock. Molten rock and flames burn under the skin, glowing through the cracks and wreathing her hands and feet in flames. Her hair, when the rest of her was turned into rock, would transform into waving flame. The amount of her body that is transformed into volcanic rock and magma is determined by her combined Fire and Earth stat. 5 for hands and feet, 25 for arms and legs, 75 for full body.

-Fire (5)

Power 2: Energize - Cammy is capable of infusing inorganic materials with energy, rapidly super-heating them. The range and amount of damage/heat infused is based on Fire Power.

Power 3: Fire Affinity - Cammy has a resistance equal to 2x her Fire Power stat to the effects of intense heat and fire while she is channeling her volcanic abilities.

-Earth (5)

Power 4: Geomancy - Cammy can shape and control rocks, soil, etc. The power is based on her Earth power, the range is based on the GM's discretion.

Updated Powers.

[FalconX2000]

Eisen is also high society. Kinda sorta. She probably doesn't even know what a lawsuit is, though.

Kyra: It's what lawyers wear.

How many not rich people are there? I need to start a club or something...

Kyra's middle class.

[Vakanai]

I plan on doing something similar. But the flay you alive thing just has to be done to something at some point

Could flay a robot...

Wierd teams? Or great teams?

There's a difference?

Yeah? I mean for me it's vaguely reminiscent of the Gunslinger, or I don't know Wolverine. I guess it just depends on how you play it.

True, I make plans, but often they go very different once I actually start playing the characters.

Keeping up with your PC, of course. My first self-imposed challenge is trying to match or best Max's Bodyguard at some point earlier in the game, like a mini-quest. If Sub is ok with it.

Keeping up with Vi is an impossible dream!

Throwing out a random idea:

NAME: Elewa Ballo

GENDER: Male

HERITAGE/RACE: Carribean

AGE: 18

WEAPON TYPE/MARTIAL SKILL: Wrench, brawler.

APPERANCE:

---New Picture to be added to reflect changes ---

6'4", around 220 lbs. Kind of pudgy but has a excellent upper arm strength from a lifetime of working with heavy machines. He has long dreadlocks which are quite filthy and mostly wears working overalls or dungarees in varying shades of brown or blue. He has several circuitry-themed tattoos on his body, mostly on his arms and face, and would like to get some piercings (opting not to while working on electrics because even with his abilities, shoving a small lightning rod through your ear just seemed silly). He had a good solid set of boots with steel toecaps that used to belong to his granddad. They are arguably his most prized possession.

CHARACTER HISTORY & PERSONALITY: (Picture will follow) Elewa was from a working family. His father was an electrician, his uncle was an electrician, his mother was a mechanic, his brothers, except for his elder brother, were all workers in the industrial areas of Sector 12. They weren't poverty-stricken but with low wages and a large family with six children, money was mostly tight. It was his destiny to be another mechanic and diligently live out his days fixing things and servicing power cables. It wasn't the most glamorous of lives to be born for but the slow moving and simple Elewa was more than happy to take his place and, from the age of 9, that is what he did.

However, fate had other ideas, Elewa found himself able to manipulate and fix electronic cables without powering them down, live current coursing through his body with no effect. He was easily able to work on power grids that were in use with little more than his dreadlocks becoming slightly static. He became something of a local treasure, the young worker who could handle red hot metals and solder with his bare hands. It was an odd thing to be famous but slow moving and simple Elewa was more than happy with his lot in life.

Then, the academy showed up one day. Said to his papa that his son was special. Should have been taken years ago but they didn't come down to Sector 12 that much and who knew that treasure like Elewa would be hidden in the walls, mindlessly repairing power lines, when he could be doing so much more. He had to be educated, taught to read and write better than he did, become a part of a special class of better people.

Slow moving and simple Elewa was upset by this, he didn't want to leave his family, his brothers and sister and their tiny home. He missed the structures of the cable tunnels and power grids, he missed his friends and his job and being able to smoke while he worked. Still, this was where life had brought him and he would see how things turned out.

Elewa is a quiet and generally fairly shy man, a gentle soul who moves and thinks quite slowly. He doesn't go in for confrontation that much and will instead opt to be passive. He usually smiles without thinking and enjoys a good joke. He doesn't have great people skills, mostly choosing to nod and smile where necessary, and prefers working on machines because he can see how they work. He has a more assertive side but it only shows when he is either working or around people he feel comfortable with. He has a long term girlfriend who he has known all his life and been romantically involved with for just over three years now. (Profile for her to follow)

He always carries a pretty large toolbag with him, the bag contains various tools; including a large wrench, a set of tiny screwdrivers, a soldering iron and a good supply of solder, devices for measuring voltage, a huge variety of transistors and spare parts and whole host of other odds and sods. It also contains several packs of cigarettes which have varying amounts of cigarettes in them depending on how old they are.

THEME SONG: Laid Blak - Red

PERSONAL SKILLS: Excellent electrician and mechanic. Has a fine analytical mind and loves to tinker with machines if even if he's not always successful at it. He smokes a lot and has a weed habit.

POWER TYPE: Enhancer.

Power: Durability (10)

Tweaked Elewa's profile, edited his backstory and removed the out of date picture.

[Ghost]

Cool. What kind of character is Eisen?

Enhancer. Raised by her (mad?) scientist uncle, basically never left the house. Very sheltered, basically no experience with people aside from family members.

Behold!

[Nik Hasta]

Question; Do I need to provide profiles for NPCs if they have no powers?

[Eternal Torment]

Oh, boy. More rich people for Sloane to troll.

[FarBeyondC]

Question; Do I need to provide profiles for NPCs if they have no powers?

Technically speaking, I don't think you need to provide profiles for NPCs at all. It's probably good form to let Cleric know about NPCs with powers so that he doesn't get blindsided or something; other than that, I can see no reason why a profile would be needed. Desired perhaps out of curiousity, but not needed.

But then, I'm not the GM- so this is just a heap of words.

[Cthulhu_of_R'yleh]

Kyra's middle class.

Oh, boy. More rich people for Sloane to troll.

The League of Not-So-Rich Avengers is beginning to form. All according to plan.

[Sub-Zero MKA]

Keeping up with your PC, of course. My first self-imposed challenge is trying to match or best Max's Bodyguard at some point earlier in the game, like a mini-quest. If Sub is ok with it.

I'm cool with it :)

[Sub-Zero MKA]

Name: Maxana “Max” Lindström
Gender: Female
Heritage/Race: Swedish/Caucasian
Age: 17

Weapon/Martial Arts: A pair of retractable Tekko-Kagi.



Also proficient at Capoeira

Appearance: Cute girl with big, brown eyes, long brown hair and a wonderful smile. She’s about 5’5 and 115 lbs.



Character History & Personality: Maxana "Max" Lindström was born into a prestigious family in the year 983 RE. Her father, Josef Lindström, was a famous industrialist, having built his company, Lindcörp, from the ground up on the backbone of his Elemancer (earth and durability) abilities. His quick rise to success afforded him and his budding family a life of wealth and a home in Sector 1. Her mother, Norda, stayed at home and raised her and her sister, an Enhancer, to be proper ladies fit for high society.

For the better part of thirteen years, Max enjoyed the good life that could only be bought with absurd riches. Her parents, more specifically her father, handled everything important, so she didn't have a care in the world. She was among the prettiest girls in school, so she was automatically popular in direct proportion to her beauty. It also helped that she had a delightful personality. Her grades were good, and her behavior that her mother spent the better part of her childhood molding earned her a good name with her instructors. She was the perfect little daughter, until she was fourteen.

Her whole life changed when a holo-theater was rocked by a 9.0 earthquake. She, of course, was found at the epicenter and was arrested. Her father paid for the damages and immediately made provisions for her to attend Arcadia Academy, no questions asked. She begrudgingly acquiesced and after graduation, she was enrolled.

Because she was raised in a privileged home, she is oblivious to the "struggles" of those from Sectors 2 - 13. She's a very friendly and cheerly young lady, and those who meet her find it easy to get along with her. If she does have one flaw, and she does, it's that she's a bit snobby at times. Okay, okay, she does have a few more flaws. One of which is that she's a bit of a coward, prefering to defer all violence to her bodyguard, Ramilia Orikagi, rather than fight herself. Confrontations usually end with her either hiding behind Ramilia while she "resolves" the issue, or her running to wherever Ramilia is and then hiding behind her while she "resolves" the issue. Needless to say, that tactic as helped preserve her beauty and kept her out of trouble. That isn't to say that she can't fight, since she is very proficient at Capoeira, which she learned as an extension of her love of dancing. She is very able in a fight, when absolutely pushed or just can't find Ramilia, but she chooses not too, because it isn't becoming of a lady to resort to violence. No, she doesn't consider Ramilia to be a lady because of this.
