Saiba Aisu Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 To view the IC Thread for this RP, please click [url=http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/236988-code-lyoko-digital-destiny-started-not-accepting/]here[/url]. [font=Trebuchet MS]Hey there, everybody. I'd like to welcome you to my latest RP, which takes place within the virtual world of Lyoko, as seen within the animated series Code Lyoko. Although there certainly isn't any shortage of virtual reality RPs on this forum, I feel that I've established a truly refreshing storyline and environment here, and I'm hoping to find some enthusiastic participation. Sure, the Advanced Tag means you'll have to work a bit harder to be accepted, but I am determined to make this an enjoyable RP of the highest quality. [center][spoiler=Please Read!][b]NOTE[/b]: Please realize that this RP occurs within the Code Lyoko universe, taking place approximately 80 years after the canon events throughout the series. Although it is helpful for potential applicants to possess some degree of familiarity with said universe, it is possible to participate without any prior knowledge, and every effort will be made to make the RP progress smoothly.[/center][/spoiler] Please check out the information listed below, and take your first step into the many adventures that await you within the depths of the Digital Destiny universe![/font] [size=x-small][center][IMG]http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv219/GXCyber_Ice/XanaSymbol.png[/IMG] [Spoiler=Plot] It has now been more than 60 years since the evil artificial entity known as XANA was successfully defeated by Team Lyoko and purged completely from the complex confines of the powerful supercomputer. During this time, life within the city of Paris has once again assumed a semblance of normality; that is to say, the mysterious and often life-threatening phenomena that were the hallmark of all of XANA's attacks have disappeared completely. During this time, the world has undergone great technological change, developing marvel after marvel and breaching the gap between the possible and the impossible. However, despite the bright future of the world, the seeds of human corruption remain, and there are those agents of this new world who seek only to increase their power and influence. However, even now in the midst of this new technological frontier and all the promise it holds for the future, a new threat is gathering to threaten the lives of those on Earth, as well as everything they hold dear. Something strange is happening in the abandoned factory that houses the mysterious supercomputer—unexplainable and bizarre occurrences have begun to reappear in the surrounding area as a new and foreign artifical intelligence slowly asserts itself within its vast system and spreads its network of menace once more. Is it possible that after countless years of dreamless slumber, the artificial intellect known as XANA has returned? The situation poses many questions but offers only a few answers. Responding to this threat is Dominic Greene, a local high school student who has begun to notice the growing trend of unnatural events. Using his superior intellect and investigative abilities, he has managed to locate the center from which these bizarre threats are originating—the abandoned factory that once served as the headquarters for the supercomputer, home to the incredible virtual world known as Lyoko. Initially designed to be the destruction of Project Carthage—a secretive program authorized by the French government designed to neutralize technological threats and assume complete control of foreign networks—Lyoko's true nature remains shrouded in mystery. Although the majority of Greene's investigations have proven largely inconclusive, he has managed to uncover the startling connection between Lyoko and the mysterious situation that threatens his hometown: although the manner isn't clear, it appears that the virtual world is the origin of these threats. As such, he has deemed it necessary to explore the world of Lyoko and neutralize these threats at their source. However, although Greene is quite the intellect, he lacks the physicality that would be required for such an endeavor; to this extent, he has decided to approach certain trustworthy classmates and convince them to join his crusade.[/size][/spoiler] [spoiler=Character Background] You are a student enrolled at Kadic Academy, an elite residential high school in the Sceaux suburb of France that offers only the best in education, luxury, and cutting edge technology to its diverse student body. Although the majority of its students are the children of wealthy and successful parents, Kadic is still characterized by a great sense of socioeconomic and cultural variety. As such, it is often considered one of the jewels of the French education system, and is often subject to intense public scrutiny. Whether you are a talented athlete, a brilliant intellect, a charismatic figure who commands the approval of his peers, or simply an average individual trying to make ends meet from one day to the next, your life is destined for intense change. With little preparation, you will soon be thrust into the middle of the battlefield on Lyoko to help neutralize this artificial threat and protect everything that you hold dear. How will you rise to the many challenges and dangers that await you, the mysteries that lie waiting to be solved? The choice is yours. Game on.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Lyoko World Map] [IMG]http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv219/GXCyber_Ice/LyokoHolomap2.jpg[/IMG] As a virtual world composed of four distinctive geographic regions, Lyoko is home to a wide variety of terrain, incorporating deserts, glaciers, forests and mountains into its landscape. In this bizarre yet beautiful world where cybernetic wonder and savagery intermingle, you will face countless dangers and triumphs as you fight to neutralize this mysterious artifical threat. Your success will depend largely upon your own strength and strategy, as well as the manner in which you cooperate with your teammates. You can use the above map for geographical reference as to where the four regions of Lyoko are located. Generally speaking, however, they are classified solely by number, with the Ice Region bearing the name Sector 1, the Mountain Region serving as Sector 2, the Forest Region as Sector 3, and the Desert Region as Sector 4. Each of the sectors is characterized by distinctive terrain and obstacles, and each possesses its own unique weather and beauty.[/spoiler] [Spoiler=Rules (Please Read!)] 1. Don't God Mod. Doing so will result in one warning. Anytime after that warning will result in a ban from this RP. 2. Posts must contain some IC actions. Meaning no OoC only posts. 3. This is a high-action, engaging RP, and it requires that you post often. Failure to post for more than 5 days will result in expulsion from the RP. 4. The RP will use third-person narrative. This is to avoid confusion and allow for greater character development and description. 5. If you feel that others are slowing the RP down or are creating problems for it, please feel free to contact the Game Master (Saiba Aisu). However, keep in mind that I will have the final say regarding any such matters. 6. You cannot create more than one character at a time. Only Game Masters have this ability, unless specified otherwise. 7. Although a large aspect of this RP's appeal is its virtual and technologically advanced nature, please do not abuse this concept. When it comes to creating your character's Lyoko Avatar, please keep your designs simple and manageable. The same goes without saying for technology. 8. The RP will also feature an item system in which each character will be able to improve his or her fighting style as the plot progresses. Items will be manifested in a variety of ways, ranging between casual objects found throughout the four regions to rare, powerful tools obtainable only after completing certain challenges. 9. You may apply a maximum of three times in a row. For whatever reason, if your character is rejected each of those three times, you will be obliged to wait one business week (five days) before being able to appy again. Any applications posted or PMed during this five-day period will be politely disregarded. 10. All additional RP rules apply and will be enforced.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Character Application Forms] [code][b]USER NAME[/b]: [Your user name. Self-explanatory] [b]NAME[/b]: [Any name, as long as it's not something ridiculous. Since your character is a student enrolled at Kadic Academy, he must have a name by which others address him] [b]AGE[/b]: [Despite the dire threat posed by this mysterious artifical intellect, characters under the age of 14 won't be much help to anyone. Similarly, since your character is a student enrolled at Kadic Academy, age should generally be between 14 and 18] [b]GENDER[/b]: [Male or Female] [b][u]APPEARANCE[/b][/u]: - [b]HEIGHT[/b]: [Nothing too extravagant, within human limitations] - [b]WEIGHT[/b]: [See above] - [b]FIGURE[/b]: [For reference, pick one of the following: Atrophic, Petite, Slender, Regular, Athletic, Muscular, Overweight] - [b]HAIR COLOR[/b]: [Unfortunately, standard hair color is not a prerequisite in the Code Lyoko universe.

Within human limitations] - [b]CLOTHING[/b]: [Once more, self-explanatory. Try and keep in mind that while Kadic Academy does not enforce a dress code, it does not tolerate overly revealing or shabby outfits] [b]PERSONALITY[/b]: [A few words about how your character acts, thinks, what his mentality is etc. It does not have to be aligned to the rest of your peer's line of thinking, but he or she must at least have have a solid reason for their decisions. A few sentences are required as a minimum, but you can expand as much as you wish] [b][u]LYOKO AVATAR[/b][/u] - [b]CLOTHING[/b]: [While virtualized on Lyoko, characters most often appear slightly different than they do in real life. Some suitable examples can include face paint or other bodily designs, different clothing, and a few non-human characteristics. However, your characters should retain their general human appearance for the most part] - [b]METHOD OF TRANSPORTATION[/b]: [For the time being, this should be filled in by default as walking] - [b]POWERS / ABILITIES[/b]: [The abilities that your character possesses. They must conform to the limitations set by the Game Master, especially if they are super power-related. Please avoid stereotypical abilities that manipulate elements, unless they are exceptionally well-expanded and balanced. Do not to incorporate too many abilities at once.

They should very clearly define what your character can and can't do while on Lyoko/in the real world] - [b]STANDARD EQUIPMENT / WEAPONRY[/b]: [What weaponry, if any, your character carries.Try and keep in mind that while this RP takes place in a technologically advanced future world, Lyoko generally equips characters with standard objects such as melee weaponry or projectiles. If you want some ideas on how to combine old-fashioned melee with high-tech future, try looking at Gundam or the characters from Code Lyoko for reference. This section is exclusively for Lyoko] [b]BIOGRAPHY[/b]: [Include the character's biography - who he originally was, where he lived, how he was raised, how/why he is attending Kadic Academy and for what reasons, etc.][/code][/spoiler] === [spoiler=List of Game Masters and Accepted Characters] [b]GAME Masters[/b]: The following members are the only ones capable of controlling the plot and NPCs as needed. • 1.

Yang Xiao-Long Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Long time no see, Saiba! This RP sounds like it'd be really fun, so I was wondering if I could join. (If I get accepted first, that is xD) [b]NAME[/b]: Alistair Lucas Relentius (pronounced Relen-shous) [b]AGE[/b]: 17 [b]GENDER[/b]: Male [b][u]APPEARANCE[/b][/u]: - [b]HEIGHT[/b]: Quite tall, he is 6' 7" (and he will continue growing due to Gigantism) - [b]WEIGHT[/b]: He weighs 180 lbs. - [b]FIGURE[/b]: Athletic - [b]HAIR COLOR[/b]: Blue hair; turns different shades of blue in different angles in which the light strikes. - [b]HAIR STYLE[/b]: Japanese style. Long, straight bangs, long hair covering most of his ears, and the hair on the back of his head reaches the bottom of his neck. - [b]EYE COLOR[/b]: Blue - [b]COMPLEXION[/b]: "Asian" complexion. - [b]CLOTHING[/b]: He wears a pair of relaxed fit designer jeans, along with a belt to prevent them from sagging. He wears t-shirts most of the time, although he will sometimes wear collared shirts for certain events or whenever he feels like it. He wears a pair of black Converse shoes. He wears a Titanium watch on his left wrist and a Purity Ring on his left ring finger. He wears a cross necklace. [b]PERSONALITY[/b]: Alistair possesses a strong sense of justice. He will step in to assist anyone in need, and he is usually the one to stop any bullying (due to his quite imposing height). He is moderately quiet, moderately talkative, but he knows when to be quiet; his close friends say that when he's quiet it's due to growing pains. He is easy-going and kind. He is usually calm, but when excessively agitated beyond the limits of what an average person can take, he will snap, but he will usually calm himself down in a few seconds. [b][u]LYOKO AVATAR[/b][/u] - [b]CLOTHING[/b]: His Lyoko transformation converts his clothing into a ninja outfit similar to Ulrich's (from Code Lyoko). His clothing becomes blue, and he has a shoulder pad on his right shoulder. His armor sprouts a pair of angel wings, but as of now they are there to look good. - [b]METHOD OF TRANSPORTATION[/b]: Walking (I plan on something different, however, so please keep me posted on when the default can change) - [b]POWERS / ABILITIES[/b]: Alistair possesses the ability of weapon augmentation. He can change the form of his sword into a different bladed form (for example, he can change his default blade form into a dagger to attack quick, nimble enemies). He cannot transform his weapon into a vehicle, and he cannot augment the weapons of his teammates. If he augments his weapon into a larger form, such as a dagger into a 2-meter long blade (excluding transformations into his default blade), his energy will be drained. - [b]STANDARD EQUIPMENT / WEAPONRY[/b]: Alistair bears an incredibly sharp sword of great size (blade is approximately 1 meter long), which he keeps sheathed on his back. [b]BIOGRAPHY[/b]: Alistair comes from a rich family. His father is a doctor, and his mother is a business secretary. Alistair has one younger brother, named Michael, who is 2 grade levels lower than he is, and one older sister, Anna, who has already graduated from Kadic Academy. Alistair, a former U.S. citizen hailing from Washington, has lived in France for the past 5 years. He currently attends Kadic Academy due to its impressive track record of educational merit. Alistair, although being the middle child, also happens to be the smartest of the three, with the IQ typical of a genius and the grades to prove it (4.0 unweighted GPA). He plans on graduating from Kadic Academy with Honors so that he may one day get a job as a professional writer. Although Alistair is rich, he has been raised not to brag about his wealth, or wave it around like a simple toy. He treats money as if it were a necessity; nothing more, nothing less. Whenever he visits his parents, he does not spend his time shopping all day like his sister; instead, he reads books non-stop, never wanting to stop learning. Alistair is the only person in his family that suffers from Gigantism; that is, he never stops growing. If he isn't treated soon, he will grow to death; possibly before he graduates from Kadic Academy. His parents are doing everything they can to save their beloved child before it's too late. There you have it. Also, I understand what happens to a person in this RP when they become inactive. I have school, so I'll try to balance out my time. If I am unable to post in this RP during the period of time you have stated then I understand everything that has resulted from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saiba Aisu Posted January 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Okay Darkknight. While I think your character definitely has some potential, I feel like you could have worked a little bit harder on your application. Some of the details - like the contradictory fact that he's tall at 5"5 (that's not very tall at all for a male) and athletic at 100 lbs (difficult to believe) - are minor. On the other hand, I feel like you drew a lot of Soraxas' character design from Kingdom Hearts (including his name, for starters). For one thing, this RP isn't a crossover, so a unique weapon like the Keyblade isn't really acceptable. Furthermore, I feel like there's lots of room for expansion in regards to his abilities / powers as well as his background. Work on correcting these things, as well as touching up on your grammar and sentence structure a bit, and you'll be much better off. [b]Btw, no one except Dominic knows about Lyoko yet[/b], and even he doesn't know the full details. Hey Shion, it's been a while yeah! I enjoyed your character's application quite a bit, it all looks totally ship-shape and ready to go. I'm actually quite interested by Alistair, he sounds like quite the intimidating guy (6"7? Jesus -__-)! I'm guessing from the angel wings you'd like him to be able to fly later on once alternate transportation becomes available? The large weapon (à la William, n'est-ce pas?) is fine, I'm just a little concerned about the time manipulation ability. I know it has its limitations and downsides, but it's really quite powerful. I don't want to spoil any plot details, but in the event that your character battles any other characters, he could conceivably defeat several of them single-handedly. I'm afraid that in regards to Lyoko, where the worst that happens is devirtualization in most cases (game over), such an ability is formidable. I'm going to go ahead and accept your character, but please try and see if you can't adjust his ability to balance it out a little more or change it altogether. Overall, nicely done, ACCEPTED.

Saiba Aisu Posted January 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 [b]USER NAME[/b]: Saiba Aisu [b]NAME[/b]: Cerce Ontarre [b]AGE[/b]: 17 [b]GENDER[/b]: Male [b][u]APPEARANCE[/b][/u]: [spoiler=Picture Basis.] [IMG]http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll217/GXCyber_Star/CerceImage.jpg[/IMG][/spoiler] - [b]HEIGHT[/b]: 5"11 - [b]WEIGHT[/b]: 165 lbs. - [b]FIGURE[/b]: Slender, well-built - [b]HAIR COLOR[/b]: Dark brown - [b]HAIR STYLE[/b]: Straight-haired, with long, artful bangs. - [b]EYE COLOR[/b]: Dark green. - [b]COMPLEXION[/b]: Rich alabaster - [b]CLOTHING[/b]: A short-sleeved dark green shirt worn over a pair of straight dark blue jeans, along with a pair of matching black sneakers and a scarf. Cerce also personalizes his outfits with a blue sleeveless jacket. One of his signature accessories is a dark blue clasp bracelet. [b]PERSONALITY[/b]: Attractive, popular, and bright, Cerce is often initially classified as a pretty boy or a goody-goody by those who don't know him well. In reality, however, he is a down-to-earth and outgoing person who doesn't care about appearances and doesn't let his popularity go to his head. Unlike many of the elite at Kadic Academy, Cerce doesn't follow the crowd, nor does he regard himself as better than others. Although his friendliness and natural charisma can be disarming, they conceal a tough and idealistic nature that naturally assumes responsibility for himself and others. [b][u]LYOKO AVATAR[/b][/u] - [b]CLOTHING[/b]: While on Lyoko, Cerce's physical appearance remains the same, although his clothing does change drastically. While on the virtual world, he wears a short-sleeved dark green shirt along with white cloth pants. Over these pants, he wears a pair of sturdy and lightweight black boots. Unlike some characters on Lyoko, Cerce's armor is minimal to better provide for fast and acrobatic movement. He wears two white cloth armguards, reaching from his wrists to just below his elbows. - [b]METHOD OF TRANSPORTATION[/b]: Walking. - [b]POWERS / ABILITIES[/b]: As an accomplished gymnast for his age, Cerce underwent extensive training for many years in order to maximize his acrobatic ability. Displaying remarkable aptitude in this respect, Cerce is capable of any number of flips, cartwheels, and back-hand springs, as well as possessing an excellent sense of balance. His considerable ability makes for a very unpredictable attack style, especially while on Lyoko, where the reduced laws of physics and gravity allow him to perform even more remarkable acrobatic feats. - [b]STANDARD EQUIPMENT / WEAPONRY[/b]: [b]Shining Megacoil[/b]: Wielding one of these unique circular bands of golden energy in each hand, Cerce uses them to launch medium-range discus attacks and deflect projectile lasers from enemies. They possess a useful boomerang-like function that allow them to return to him after being thrown. [b]Beam Ribbon[/b]: Light green in color and generated from a metal handle, the whip-like Beam Ribbon reflects Cerce's fighting style—flexible and speedy. Although it is normally used only as a last resort, the Beam Ribbon can be used to strike enemies from a distance and in some cases, bind and incapacitate them. It also possesses a limited tethering function with certain objects that allows Cerce to swing across long distances. [b]BIOGRAPHY[/b]: From his appearance, it's clear that Cerce isn't of French origin. However, having lived in Paris for a decent amount of time, he's quite familiar with the language and local terminology—in fact, while he doesn't consider himself a native of France, he's quite fond of its culture and people. The only child of a successful and hard-working paralegal couple who extended their firm from Spain, Cerce originates from a wealthy and respectable family. However, while he's proud of his parents and their success, Cerce mourns the fact that business—rather than family—seems to be their first priority. Although he's not a permanent resident of Kadic Academy, Cerce lives more or less on his own, since his parents are away from home more often than not. Due to his above average grades in English and the humanities, as well as his prowess as the Varsity Gymnastics Captain, he's well-liked within the school. However, he doesn't let his popularity go to his head or dominate his personality. Cerce is also unique in that he sees saving the world as an opportunity to protect others rather than a way to obtain personal glory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vector Nightmare Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 [b]USER NAME[/b]: ~ Epic Hero - Saber ~ [b]NAME[/b]: Basil Clives [b]AGE[/b]: 17 [b]GENDER[/b]: Male [b][u]APPEARANCE[/b][/u]: - [b]HEIGHT[/b]: 1.80m - [b]WEIGHT[/b]: 68kg - [b]FIGURE[/b]: Slender - [b]HAIR COLOR[/b]: Black - [b]HAIR STYLE[/b]: Short-cropped and straight, neatly combed leftwards - [b]EYE COLOR[/b]: Black - [b]COMPLEXION[/b]: Caucassian - [b]CLOTHING[/b]: A button-down collared white formal shirt worn with a blue tie, optionally worn under a black sweater, if the weather so dictates. A pair of black trousers, and plain black shoes, accompanied by matching black dress shoes. He follows a strictly formal dress code even when it isn't required. Optional accessories include a silver pocket watch of colonial design. [b]PERSONALITY[/b]: Arrogant and sarcastic, Basil does not get along with people easily. Whenever he considers something unimportant, not worth his time, or idiotic, no matter how others perceive it, he will state his opinion and refuse to bother himself with it, unless he is given something as a reward. He has a strict way of measuring the usefulness of people, and refuses to acknowledge those who stand low in that scale. Regardless of those flaws, he can usually keep a very clear head and think straight even in dire situation. When he is forced to suppress his dislike for others, he becomes a very efficient leader. [b][u]LYOKO AVATAR[/b][/u] - [b]CLOTHING[/b]: Basil's clothing seems to take on a more old-fashioned style. His sweater lengthens into a cloak, opening in the front. The tie disappears, and his dress shoes turn into black military boots. He also wears black fingerless leather gloves. He is often displeased with these changes, claiming that they make him look like a delinquent. - [b]METHOD OF TRANSPORTATION[/b]: Walking - [b]POWERS / ABILITIES[/b]: Basil has had some basic martial arts training, and is often keeping himself in shape by working out, rendering him quite the adept fighter in the virtual world of Lyoko. He also possesses high-level organizational and tactical skills. His ability to calmly assess a situation and organize an effective course of action to control it, and an analytical mind that quickly takes in and processes information are often invaluable. As of yet, other than his increased fighting capacity, he has demonstrated no extraordinary powers in the virtual world. - [b]STANDARD EQUIPMENT / WEAPONRY[/b]: Basil's weapons are named after Zodiac symbols. • [u]Pride of Pisces[/u]: A sword whose blade is crafted out of mercury. It is usually maintained in a frozen state, allowing it to remain solid and used as a cutting weapon, but that function can be removed. Then the sword rapidly melts into quicksilver, forming liquid whip-like streams that extend from the hilt and can be controlled by its movement. However, after this is used, it takes time to return the sword to its original state. • [u]Gemini Nova[/u]: A rifle which shoots electromagnetic waves. It can function in four different modes: > Radio: This is non-combat, but can be used to transmit audio signals over long distances. Requires a radio receiver. > Ultraviolet: Standard attack mode, fires in bursts. Average damage. The bolts are visible, and colored in purple. > Infrared: Low attack, but fires in a continuous stream. Invisible. The longer it is in contact with the target, the more damage it does. > Gamma rays: Fires a gigantic stream of energy that causes a large explosion. Has a massive recoil, often tossing the user dozens of meters backwards. Gemini Nova becomes unusable for a while afterward. [b]BIOGRAPHY[/b]: Born and raised in Paris, France, the CEO of a software corporation's only child. He spent a quite pampered childhood thanks to his family's financial condition, but as he carried his attitude to junior high, he learned the hard way that money doesn't get you everywhere. That was sort of a turning point for him - he began loathing his family for teaching him that he could always rely on his money and status, and not instructing him in the ways society works, and at the same time, he began honing his own skills and intellect in order to achieve acknowledgment on his own. However, as he grew up more, he realized that, in fact, most people shared his family's views, and valued money and status over anything else. Confused and bitter, Basil began only viewing others with scorn and disdain, regardless of their character. To him, perhaps, fighting in Lyoko, a virtual reality outside of the world of humans, is a road which can possibly lead to the acknowledgment he wished for.

Saiba Aisu Posted January 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Nice job with Basil, Saber. I'm really glad you revised some of his weaponry for the time being like we discussed; I'm also looking forward to seeing how he'll perform within the RP. I think his character should provide for some very interesting interaction with Cerce. Nicely done, ACCEPTED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vector Nightmare Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Just noticed but... [b]A[/b]listair [b]B[/b]asil [b]C[/b]erce Wonder if we'll get enough to complete the alphabet ^^. Also, I kind of wanted a reaction out of the whole "[b]As of yet[/b], other than his increased fighting capacity, he has demonstrated no extraordinary powers in the virtual world." Since as I told you, I am not very familiar with how Code Lyoko works and stuff, I thought I'd leave it obscure whether Basil actually has some powers, and see if I could get / develop some later on, according to the story.

Yang Xiao-Long Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 I editted my character a bit more information-wise. Gave a reason for his height and I also gave his academic standing. Also gave the names of his siblings, which I believe will prove necessary in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hydra of Ages Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 [spoiler= Devine Eliett] [b]USER NAME[/b]: Blazinghydra [b]NAME[/b]: Devine Eliett [b]AGE[/b]: 17 [b]GENDER[/b]: Female [b][u]APPEARANCE[/b][/u]: - [b]HEIGHT[/b]: 5'1 - [b]WEIGHT[/b]: 101 lbs - [b]FIGURE[/b]: Petite - [b]HAIR COLOR[/b]: Bright red - [b]HAIR STYLE[/b]: Long, down near her ankles, and kept impeccably straight and neat. Her bangs are long, and fall in front of her shoulders, while her hair seems to taper off in an almost winglike-fashion towards the bottom. Tying it back is fairly difficult, but it can be done. - [b]EYE COLOR[/b]: Dark, almost black green - [b]COMPLEXION[/b]: Rather pale. Has a slightly sickly tinge of blue to it, at times. - [b]CLOTHING[/b]: a casual green suede jacket, with a trim that falls a little above her knees, worn over a casual white sleeveless shirt emblazoned with a design in black. Her jeans are black, but fairly ordinary. All of her clothing tends to be worn long, and often a bit baggier. [b]PERSONALITY[/b]: Apathetic and cynical, Devine is rarely worked up by anything. A perpetual cynicist, she will verbally savage anyone she perceives as screwing around or acting in a seemingly stupid manner; similarly, people who act too seriously and seem to think that other people should do what they say are fair game as well. She has a rather low self-esteem, but hides it quite effectively beneath a mask of snark and bitter retorts. This said, she's not entirely impossible to get along with. While nobody around her is safe from inevitable criticism, there's rarely any actual venom behind her words, and she does tend to have a clearer view of the situation that most. She is very reliable, and never bothers with ulterior motives or underhanded tricks; she'll do exactly what she says, always. In addition, though she'd never admit it, she's fiercely protective of people she thinks of as friends and will utterly destroy anyone else that tries to treat them as badly as she does. Pacifistic at heart, she loathes any sort of physical violence, largely stemming from past experiences, and is very difficult to anger unless you know exactly which buttons to push. If she does snap, however, she practically goes insane; there is very little common between her normal state, and what she's like if angered. [b][u]LYOKO AVATAR[/b][/u] - [b]CLOTHING[/b]: While in Lyoko, Devine's hair turns far darker, almost black, and becomes significantly shorter, down to around her mid-back rather than lower than her waist. Her clothing becomes a rather formal suit, with a black dress-coat colored an almost-black green, similarly colored pants, and shiny black shoes that are surprisingly comfortable. She retains black designs on her shirt, and gains a pair of green-tinted sunglasses. Her left shoulder is noticeably padded with what appears to be some sort of leather armor, as well as her elbow on the same arm; this looks rather decorative, and has a few dark designs on it as well. - [b]METHOD OF TRANSPORTATION[/b]: Footin' it. - [b]POWERS / ABILITIES[/b]: Devine's abilities concern shadows, generally those of other animate beings, known collectively as [i]Shadow Attunement[/i]. [i]Shadow Attunement[/i] manifests itself in two main states, which Devine can access at will, as well as an affliction called [i]Shadow Sensitivity[/i] which Devine contracts whenever she accesses any of her abilities. The first branch of [i]Shadow Attunement[/i] is known as [i]Shade Precognition[/i], which allows her to focus on a single being's Shadow and force it to become tied the life points of the main being, effectively granting her an extra target. The Shadow is treated as a mirror-image of what is casting it, and being struck in a spot of the Shadow is the same as striking in its mirrored area; therefore, striking the shadow of an armored portion would result in an ineffective blow, whereas striking the shadow equivalent of a weak point could cause significant damage. It should be noted that shadows are not any more vulnerable than any other point of an enemy's body- using [i]Shade Precognition[/i] does not make the enemy any weaker, but simply gives the attacker a larger angle of attack, or a way to angle around shields or similar obstructions. A shadow cannot be struck if it is obscured in any way- for example, covered by darkness (such as a larger shadow). The second extension of [i]Shadow Attunement[/i] is [i]Shade Walk[/i], which allows Devine to physically fade away and become one with her shadow, essentially turning into a two-dimensional existence. Though this does award her additional mobility, it has several vulnerabilities; she cannot interact with three-dimensional objects, excepting those that are used to harm her, which will find her a very simple target. In addition, moving through other shadows is possible only barely, through a difficult, tedious process that can quickly sap her Life Points. She cannot harm others while a shadow, except through [i]Shade Precognition[/i]- and when then, her weapons lose all of their special abilities, due to becoming shadows of their true selves. She cannot use [i]Shade Walk[/i] in areas of darkness- where shadows are essentially one. Attempting to would result in her Life Points being instantly sapped. The unintentional third extension of the ability is [i]Shadow Sensitivity[/i], which Devine must deal with whenever she uses her powers. While under the effects, Devine's shadow becomes a solid weak point that enemies can strike in order to harm her, as well as nullify her powers for a short period of time; there is nothing she can do to protect her shadow from being harmed in this way. In addition, while under the effects of more acute [i]Shadow Sensitivity[/i], Devine gains an aversion to light, eventually becoming physically harmed by it in the later stages, as well as a weakness to heat and fire-themed weaponry. The worse the effects of Shadow Sensitivity, the harder it is for Devine to activate her abilities. Using [i]Shade Precognition[/i] will afflict her with mild [i]Shadow Sensitivity[/i] for a few hours after she stops using the ability, with it becoming more severe the longer and more often she uses the technique without resting. Using [i]Shade Walk[/i] automatically applies moderate sensitivity, scaling upward exponentially with how long she spends in the two-dimensional state. Being struck in the shadow can cause her to become more sensitive briefly. - [b]STANDARD EQUIPMENT / WEAPONRY[/b]: Devine carries a long rapier in a scabbard along her left leg, which has a simple black handle and a gleaming silver blade. Called Quicksilver, it has the unique property of glowing in the darkness and casting nine shadows. The former aspect comes in handy in dark areas, where shadows aren't defined, and grows brighter if it strikes something solid. The second aspect, casting multiple shadows, allows it to inflict significantly more damage if it strikes a shadow ordained by [i]Shade Precognition[/i]. Aside from that and being a dangerous blade made for stabbing, it has no significant abilities. [b]BIOGRAPHY[/b]: The child of English immigrants, Devine did not have an easy early childhood. Her parents had a particularly messy divorce that ended up destroying the fortunes of both of her parents- her father especially- leaving them increasingly worse off as bad news continued to pile up. Though she'd never been with much money, her father had been a major stockholder of a rising technology corporation -which is why they'd moved to France- which had promptly failed, and her mother's job as a bank laid her off, forcing her to start in a far less senior position in a different branch, a couple cities away. She lived with her father, generally, who tended towards alcoholism as of late. Though never physically abusive, he became increasingly less interested in being a good father or even a pleasant person, living instead off of what meager pension he had managed to accumulate and social security checks. Devine was sent to live with her Aunt and Uncle back in England, but for all her father was, he was a significantly better caretaker than either of them was. Her Aunt was openly abusive to any human being that came within an eighteen foot radius of her, and her Uncle only scantly better- when she confided in her father, she had to wait months before she got a response. Though she was brought back to France, her father was careful to tell nobody and cause strife in his family life as well as in his business life. Her mother, though far removed from her life, inadvertently led to her to being sent to Kadic; now a rather low-down administrator of her branch, her benefits did entitle her children to a specific set of scholarships, on the dime of the bank, Kadic among them. Her father, barely able to feed himself, decided to send her off to the residential school to save money. Kadic is aware that her interests are no longer important in the eyes of her parents, but doesn't care too much anyway. Long strings of personal misfortune, a lack of friends due to constant traveling and useless parents killed off most of her enthusiasm for anything. She's an above-average student, but nothing extraordinary, and prefers to stay away from most of the class, quietly in a corner. [/spoiler] Let me know if the power's a bit much; though it's a little expansive, I think the negatives balance it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saiba Aisu Posted January 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Okay, I'm going to go ahead and take the time to reply to all the changes that we've accumulated. [quote name='~ Epic Hero - Saber ~' timestamp='1295215479' post='4939244'] Just noticed but...[b]A[/b]listair[b]B[/b]asil[b]C[/b]erceWonder if we'll get enough to complete the alphabet ^^.Also, I kind of wanted a reaction out of the whole "[b]As of yet[/b], other than his increased fighting capacity, he has demonstrated no extraordinary powers in the virtual world." Since as I told you, I am not very familiar with how Code Lyoko works and stuff, I thought I'd leave it obscure whether Basil actually has some powers, and see if I could get / develop some later on, according to the story. [/quote] It's quite possible, seeing as Hydra of Legend's character is named Devine! Haha. Well, in regards to Basil's current powers / weaponry, I feel he is sufficiently developed and equipped for the first portion of the RP. It is not uncommon for extensive programming to result in enhanced or altered abilities; we can see this with Aelita gaining angel wings and the power to fire plasma spheres around Episode 50. Furthermore, in some cases, some powers can develop on their own, such as Odd's limited clairvoyance. I'm not going to make any promises, but the emergence of different powers is a distinct possibility. I'm gonna try and operate under the principle of equivalent exchange though, I don't want characters to become too powerful. [quote name='Shion Kaito' timestamp='1295294848' post='4941237'] I edited my character a bit more information-wise. Gave a reason for his height and I also gave his academic standing. Also gave the names of his siblings, which I believe will prove necessary in the future. [/quote] Okay, thanks Shion. That's actually a big help and it's got me thinking as to a possible future subplot concerning his unnatural growth pattern.

If she does snap, however, she practically goes insane; there is very little common between her normal state, and what she's like if angered. [b][u]LYOKO AVATAR[/b][/u]- [b]CLOTHING[/b]: While in Lyoko, Devine's hair turns far darker, almost black, and becomes significantly shorter, down to around her mid-back rather than lower than her waist. Her clothing becomes a rather formal suit, with a black dress-coat colored an almost-black green, similarly colored pants, and shiny black shoes that are surprisingly comfortable. She retains black designs on her shirt, and gains a pair of green-tinted sunglasses. Her left shoulder is noticeably padded with what appears to be some sort of leather armor, as well as her elbow on the same arm; this looks rather decorative, and has a few dark designs on it as well. - [b]METHOD OF TRANSPORTATION[/b]: Footin' it.- [b]POWERS / ABILITIES[/b]: Devine's abilities concern shadows, generally those of other living beings. The most basic ability is known as [i]Shade Precognition[/i], allowing her to harm another living thing through its shadow. While she focuses on a single being, if she were to stab at that being's shadow, or fire a shot into it, the caster of the shadow would react as if they'd been stricken in the corresponding area of their body in the same way; force transferred using this method is reduced in potency, and will generally not break skin, as such that being shot in the heart of the shadow is not an instant kill on the person in question, but the attack does ignore things such as armor or thick skin. Utilizing her power, however, grants Devine a significant weakness, known as [i]Shadow Sensitivity[/i]. While she activates her ability, her shadow becomes tied to her being even after she stops keeping the ability active- this allows enemies to, in essence, turn her power against her. If Devine's shadow is struck while it is sensitive, it has the same aspects as a Prerecognized Shadow- that is, that it will harm her as if she was struck in the same area. This state continues even after Devine stops using her ability for around an hour or so, though it can run longer if she abused her powers for too long. While Sensitive, Devine also gains a distaste for the light and is easily blinded, a weakness that is also easily turned on her.She does have a second, if rarely-used ability, which is [i]Shadow Walk[/i]. She can literally fade away and merge into her shadow- essentially become two-dimensional, and giving her all the benefits associated with that. While this does grant her additional mobility, she cannot affect three-dimensional objects like this, and though she can harm two-dimensional existences (such as shadows), it is at a reduced rate due to lack of her actual body. Her shadow CAN be harmed, as it has a high degree of Shadow Sensitivity while merged; someone stabbing a blade into the two-dimensional shadow can cause exceptional damage.Reforming into her three-dimensional body takes several minutes, and she suffers for extreme chills for a short period as well as severe Shadow Sensitivity for days afterwards. Merging into large shadows IS possible, though just barely- spreading your Shadow across a larger space while merged with it causes you to rapidly lose body heat when you return to your natural state, possibly landing you with hypothermia or worse. Becoming a Shadow during night is all but impossible; the massive shadow of the planet is the equivalent of liquid nitrogen if touched to merged Shadow.- [b]STANDARD EQUIPMENT / WEAPONRY[/b]: Devine carries a long rapier in a scabbard along her left leg, which has a simple black handle and a gleaming silver blade. Called Quicksilver, it has the unique property of glowing in the darkness and casting nine shadows. The former aspect comes in handy in dark areas, where shadows aren't defined, and grows brighter if it strikes something solid. The second aspect, casting multiple shadows, allows it to inflict significantly more damage if it strikes a shadow ordained by [i]Shadow Precognition[/i]. Aside from that and being a dangerous blade made for stabbing, it has no significant abilities. Her second weapon, a revolver called Titan, is a streamlined piece of weaponry that fires small solid bursts of bright light- essentially miniature suns as bullets. Getting struck by one is roughly equivalent to a conventional bullet, though wounds are typically cauterized quickly, with burns replacing bleeding. Like the glowing sword, the bullets have the added bonus of defining shadows as they come near, giving them a target to hit with [i]Shadow Precognition[/i]. The bullets do not run out of ammo, though the gun can jam if fired too quickly, without regular maintenance. It's kept on a holster on her right side. [b]BIOGRAPHY[/b]: The child of English immigrants, Devine did not have an easy early childhood. Her parents had a particularly messy divorce that ended up destroying the fortunes of both of her parents- her father especially- leaving them increasingly worse off as bad news continued to pile up. Though she'd never been with much money, her father had been a major stockholder of a rising technology corporation -which is why they'd moved to France- which had promptly failed, and her mother's job as a bank laid her off, forcing her to start in a far less senior position in a different branch, a couple cities away.

[/spoiler]Let me know if the power's a bit much; though it's a little expansive, I think the negatives balance it out. [/quote] [spoiler=Reply to Devine]What can I say, Hydra? I'm really fond of your character over all, especially since you decided to put an end to the sausage fest and make her female. You're one of the few RPers I know that writes equally well with characters of both sexes. In regards to Devine herself, I'm not exactly a fan of her grooming habits, but she certainly seems well-developed and filled with potential for characterization. Her power is unique and really cool; however, you're right, it's pretty expansive for these early stages of the RP. I think you would do well to perhaps drop one of her weapons for the time being: I'm leaning towards Titan since Basil is already equipped with a gun. I think that for the early stages of the RP, the ability to turn into a shadow is very useful; it lets you navigate terrain quickly and quietly. Furthermore, it lets you avoid the majority of attacks, barring those that strike the actual shadow and force Devine to reappear. The only issue that I have with hurting others through their shadows is that some monsters on Lyoko can only be harmed by targeting certain areas; therefore, striking the shadow of certain creatures, like the [url=http://codelyoko.wikia.com/wiki/Megatank]Megatank[/url] would be pointless. For this reason, I feel like the ability to navigate areas in shadow form is quite useful and enough for the time being; it can be used for ambushes, crossing difficult areas and all sorts of things. Reading through that portion of the application, I wanted to clarify that some information, like the fact that she can't merge with shadows at night. Lyoko is characterized by constancy; while it does have certain weather patterns, it retains the same ambiance throughout the day. This means that it's never really night time anywhere except for the Ice Sector. Also, the fact that you mentioned tendencies such as cauterization or piercing the skin: in Lyoko, injuries work like in a video game. This means that natural occurrences such as cuts or bleeding do not occur; if one is struck with a sword, the force is dispersed throughout the body but does not cause wounds. Furthermore, rather than cause pain, injury merely drains Life Points. This explains why characters are able to take critical hits and still perform at top capacity. Anyways I'm sorry for elaborating so much, I'm just very fond of Devine and want to incorporate her smoothly into this RP. I'm trusting that you'll revamp her powers a bit and remove some functions for now.[/spoiler] Oh, and Hydra, your character is ACCEPTED.Btw guys, I'm thinking that I will accept perhaps one more application at the most. Four Lyoko warriors is already more than they had in the first season, and controlling NPCs such as Dominic as well as Cerce will put a good amount on my plate. It would be a really big help if any of you were interested in serving as Game Masters though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

--------------- Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 [b]USER NAME[/b]: Atman [b]NAME[/b]: Ceodore Harvey (first name pronounced like Theodore, but with an 'S' in the beginning) [b]AGE[/b]: 17 [b]GENDER[/b]: Male [b][u]APPEARANCE[/b][/u]: - [b]HEIGHT[/b]: 5'8" - [b]WEIGHT[/b]: 150lbs (meaning he's slightly above normal weight) - [b]FIGURE[/b]: Regular - [b]HAIR COLOR[/b]: White. (Yes, some young people have white hair. Maybe not naturally, but...) - [b]HAIR STYLE[/b]: Somewhat spiky. Short. - [b]EYE COLOR[/b]: Aqua (somewhere between blue and green) - [b]COMPLEXION[/b]: Pale-ish (Again, somewhere between normal and pale) - [b]CLOTHING[/b]: A medium blue jacket over a light blue tee shirt. Jeans. White sneakers. (Purrty notmal stuff) [b]PERSONALITY[/b]: Ceodore is somewhat of a loner, as in he's not one to go out and make friends on his own (he [i]does[/i] have friends, though.) Despite his introversedness, he is very kind-hearted. He would defend his friends if they were in any kind of trouble. Furthermore, he'd defend a stranger, or even a rival, if they were in harms way. [b][u]LYOKO AVATAR[/b][/u] - [b]CLOTHING[/b]: He dons full body white armour with splashes of blue. The legs of his armour, however, are dark blue. He also wears a thin gold band on his forehead, just below where his hair starts. - [b]METHOD OF TRANSPORTATION[/b]: Default. Walking. - [b]POWERS / ABILITIES[/b]: (It should be noted before I start this, that Ceodore weilds a shortsword in Lyoko.) Ceodore, though not very athletic in the real world, his increased agility in Lyoko. He is also notably faster, though not much stronger. He has the ability to teleport, HOWEVER, he cannot teleport very long distances. He cannot teleport in quick succession. He cannot teleport impossibly (i.e. into the terrain, into towers, into enemies, etc.). Plus, teleporting wastes a lot of energy. But, teleporting has no initial charge time, so as soon as he's ready, he can teleport. When weilding his sword, he can swing it to release a wave of energy in any direction, cutting enemies the energywave comes in contact with. This [i]can[/i] be used in quick succession, as it does not do [i]that much damage[/i]. And, of course, he can cut enemies with his sword. :3 - [b]STANDARD EQUIPMENT / WEAPONRY[/b]: Sword. Armour. Already mentioned these. :3 [b]BIOGRAPHY[/b]: Ceodore was born to Cecil and Rosa Harvey. He and his parents live in outer Paris until he was 12, where his father got a new job and moved the family deeper into the city. Unfortunately, he was forced to attend a not-so-good school. Many students picked on him, thus making him feel sad and lonely. Until one day, he made a friend (awww), named Abel. He and Abel were friends for a long time. One day, Abel was being picked on by older kids. Out came Ceodore to aid him. Ceodore didn't full out beat up the kids like a stereotypical protagonist in the making, but he did give them a decent run for their money. Abel and Ceodore where then best buds. Until Abel moved away (insert sad face). Ceodore, now alone, became seriously introverted, especially when his dad got relocated to another office when he was 16. Fortunately, he got to attend a good school, with mostly nice kids, Kadic Academy. And now a year later, here he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoko Kurama Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 [b]USER NAME[/b]: Social Slayer [b]NAME[/b]: Talon Hestech [b]AGE[/b]: 16 [b]GENDER[/b]: Male. [b][u]APPEARANCE[/b][/u]: - [b]HEIGHT[/b]: 6'0 - [b]WEIGHT[/b]: 175 - [b]FIGURE[/b]: Athletic. - [b]HAIR COLOR[/b]: Bleach blonde. - [b]HAIR STYLE[/b]: Shaggy, Rainy hair. Hangs in face. Does the "hair flip". - [b]EYE COLOR[/b]: Dull shade of green. - [b]COMPLEXION[/b]: A light tan. - [b]CLOTHING[/b]: Always wears a pair of jeans, and a normal t-shirt. Usual bears a logo as well. Belt, common sneakers, Paracord bracelet, and Hemp necklace. [b]PERSONALITY[/b]: Talon is very in-between. Energetic, but calm. Caring, but teasing. Smart, but lazy. He carries most traits and has a knack for expressing them all at once. He does has a dominant characteristic, however. That would be his ability to always say the wrong things at the wrong times. [b][u]LYOKO AVATAR[/b][/u] - [b]CLOTHING[/b]: The sleeves of his shirt disappear, and are replaced by soft leather shoulder pads. The shirt itself, becomes a loose cloth. Almost like a poncho, just sitting upon his chest. His jeans also become a soft leather textile. His belt disappears, along with his necklace. The bracelet, however, remains. The sneakers lose their modern look, and are replaced by earthy toned moccasins. A small quiver also appears upon his back, attached to the shoulder pads. - [b]METHOD OF TRANSPORTATION[/b]: Walking. - [b]POWERS / ABILITIES[/b]: Talon can invoke a high level of eyesight, equal to that of an eagle, or very close to it. His range of vision is multiplied two fold, and his ability to determine colors and camouflage also becomes impeccable. In doing this, he loses a large portion of his other senses. Smell and taste lessen roughly 25% and his ability to hear lowers nearly 50%. - [b]STANDARD EQUIPMENT / WEAPONRY[/b]: A short oak bow and arrows. The arrows each having special abilities. Some explosive, fire, poison tipped, and electrically charged. During each visit to Lyoko he will be granted 1 explosive, 3 fire, 5 poison, and 2 electrically charged, giving him a total of 11 arrows per visit. A small boot knife is also carried, obviously in the boot. [b]BIOGRAPHY[/b]: Talon was born and raised in America. His parents shipped him off to Paris, without telling him where he was going. When he arrived, he figured he was free to roam. Soon after taking advantage of his freedom, he was found by his Uncle James, who was to be his new guardian. The reasoning behind his move and new living arrangements was unknown. He didn't complain. When it came time for him to attend school and stop his tom foolery, he did just that. He didn't hate school like most other children, and saw it as an opportunity to meet some French girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
encapturer Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 [b]USER NAME[/b]: encapturer [b]NAME[/b]: Estelle Rays [b]AGE[/b]: 16 [b]GENDER[/b]: Female [b][u]APPEARANCE[/b][/u]: - [b]HEIGHT[/b]: 5'4" - [b]WEIGHT[/b]: 120 lbs - [b]FIGURE[/b]: Slender - [b]HAIR COLOR[/b]: Light blue - [b]HAIR STYLE[/b]: The hair on the front of Estelle's face is parted to the right, and strung over the ears to the back of her head. There, she wears her hair in a short braided ponytail, going down just below her neck. - [b]EYE COLOR[/b]: Blue - [b]COMPLEXION[/b]: Pale - [b]CLOTHING[/b]: Her wardrobe mostly consists of elaborate dresses bought by her parents, mostly consisting of blues and whites. Currently, she does own 'simpler' clothes - like slacks and shirts - that she prefers to wear, seeing that she brought them herself. These clothes tend to be red and black. [b]PERSONALITY[/b]: Estelle is rather shy, and tends to speak quietly, as if she is unsure of herself. She is also very kind, and will often help out others if they ask, as long as it isn't something stupid. In truth, however, she is extremely opinionated about many things, and secretly looks down on people she feels are rude, selfish, lazy, or anything else, really. Even so, she has low self esteem, only feeling worth in helping others, especially if she hates them... or if she considers them a true friend. For those she doesn't like, she often imagines bad things happening to them as a way to blow off steam. [b][u]LYOKO AVATAR[/b][/u] - [b]CLOTHING[/b]: Estelle gets armor when virtualized. Large, red-and-black colored plate armor. It provides good protection, and she is surprisingly mobile in it for what it looks like. She wears an open helm as well, leaving only her face exposed. Well, that, and her thighs, thanks to a short plated skirt that doesn't meet the top of her boots. She questions the value of that design. - [b]METHOD OF TRANSPORTATION[/b]: Walking - [b]POWERS / ABILITIES[/b]: She has a mental link with her weapon, able to activate its various abilities without holding it. This is not large-scale telekinesis. For example, if her weapon was a modern firearm, she could fire it without pulling the trigger, or mentally engage its safety. As far as she knows, there is no maximum range to this ability, though she prefers to see her weapon when mentally manipulating it so she doesn't accidentally do something... bad. She can form a link with any weapon, but besides her starting weapon, she needs to spend a significant amount of time with it in order to understand how it works first. - [b]STANDARD EQUIPMENT / WEAPONRY[/b]: Her weapon is called the 'Beam Interface'. It is a white H-shaped weapon which can be gripped in many fashions. On the weapon, there are six small holes, positioned on the four ends on the 'H', as well as the two sides, where the center beam intersects the other beams. From each of these holes, Estelle can generate laser weaponry from them. These can manifest as laser blasts for ranged fighting, or as solid blades of light to use in melee combat. As her weapon has no discernible triggers to summon the lasers, Estelle's link with her weapon comes in handy. [spoiler="Because I can't draw..."][IMG]http://i54.tinypic.com/2eeehqf.jpg[/IMG] This diagram shows the general shape of the weapon (the white), and where the emitters are (the red). The actual weapon probably feels more like a bunch of lightsabers stuck together or something...[/spoiler] [b]BIOGRAPHY[/b]: The Rays are a large hierarchical extended family, ruled by the family head. Being apart of the Rays is a big deal; even if you don't have much money, you can make use of their support structure to get assistance, financial or otherwise. The family head decides who gets access to what, and can even disown people from the family - if you want to live in this world, you follow the family head. Currently, that man is 35 year old Thomas Rays, the son of the previous head. As such, he never really got used to people saying 'no' and acts immature. Estelle's older brother, Ethan Rays, was a prodigy when it comes to business sense. So much so that he often gives advice to Thomas when it comes to their business ventures. However, Thomas wanted to buy out a large company to be able to control what video games are made under their intellectual properties. Ethan continually said it was a bad idea, giving very sound reasons why, and for his wisdom, Thomas excommunicated Ethan from the family, just so he can go ahead with the acquisition. This had a remarkable impact on the young Estelle, causing her to withdraw and become agreeable, as to not meet her brother's fate. Of course, secretly, she wanted Thomas to die, but could not act on her desire. Now enrolled in Kadic university, Estelle's kindness has almost become legendary. Which is great, as of course, that makes her feel good. What's not so great is that Thomas Rays has taken a liking to her, and since they are barely related, he wants her to marry his son Kyle. Whom she never even met. And since Thomas is threatening to excommunicate her parents if she doesn't go through with the marriage in a few years, there's not much she can do. Nowadays, she keeps herself busy in order to keep her mind off her current situation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hydra of Ages Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Thanks for the clarifications; I've literally never seen anything of Code Lyoko ever, so it's helpful. In any case, I'll make some changes, though I did base her around Shade Precognition as her 'actual' ability with Shadow Walk as risky, if useful, option. I'll mess around with the specifics a bit now that I know Lyoko's more of a video-game type world. And afraid I can't help out with GMing this time around; got a bit on my plate as it is (exams next week), and well, as you've seen, I know nothing of the setting.

Saiba Aisu Posted January 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Okay Shion, I think I'll gratefully accept your offer to help out as a Game Master. You seem pretty darn competent to me ! Are you familiar with the Code Lyoko universe? Also, if it's not too much trouble, it would be great if you could make an MSN account. It's fast and easy to do, and lets us keep in touch. Alright Hydra, just notify me whenever you're through redesigning her abilities and I'll give it another look and see if I approve, okay? As for you guys (Atman, Social Slayer and encapturer), I'm not gonna lie and say that it was easy deciding between you three, since for the time being, there's only room for one more slot for a Lyoko Warrior. However, in the end, I felt like encapturer's character was the best-developed and most unique; this is why his character has been ACCEPTED. Atman and Social Slayer, your apps were both of pretty good quality, so I don't want you feeling down over this. While I'm not accepting any more Lyoko Warriors at this time, there is a possibility that I may do so in the future, depending upon participation and the number of GMs to help manage things. I'll hold on to your apps until such an opportunity arises, alright? Thanks to everyone who appplied; at this time, we are no longer accepting new characters! I will be posting the IC Thread soon, probably sometime within the next week. In the meantime, I encourage you guys to familiarize yourselves with the Code Lyoko! Maybe watch some episodes on Youtube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saiba Aisu Posted January 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Well Atman, I replied to your PM with a possible solution. Having your character exclusively be a student at Kadic Academy is all I could really think of.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saiba Aisu Posted January 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 I'm sorry, Master of the Dark, but if you'll check the thread title, you'll see that we're currently not accepting any more characters. Thanks for taking the time to post though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yang Xiao-Long Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 So I got myself an MSN account but to get the Messenger, however, I'm gonna have to get Windows 7, so until then, I'll be using my email. (Big downloads like Windows 7 will slow my computer down A LOT, so I usually save stuff like that for times after I discuss it with my parents). Sorry for any inconvenience >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
encapturer Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 ... You're downloading Windows 7? To use Messenger? ... [i]what[/i]? I'm... more than a little confused, in more ways than one. Then again, the current messenger packaged in Live essentials needs at least Vista, so... ...I dunno? >_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
