Mysterium Tremendum Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 [center][b]Dacian Caesar[/b][/center] [b]AGE:[/b] 18 [b]GENDER:[/b] Male [b]APPEARANCE:[/b] - Height: 5'9 - Weight: 140 lbs - Body Shape: Slim, with a small amount of muscle. - Hair Style & Color: Black hair. Disheveled and unkempt. Covers most of the forehead down to the eyebrows. - Eye Color: Heterochromatic + Right Eye: Cerulean-colored Iris + Left Eye: Brown-colored Iris - Complexion: Fluctuates. [b]PERSONALITY:[/b] At one time, Dacian was reclusive and anti-social. During his time with Lucio, he experienced a dramatic change. He came to share a lot of opinions with his friend Lucio and he became much more headstrong. This friendship has had an influence Dacian's entire outlook on life. Dacian has at least gained some genuine warmth in his nature. He doesn't have the IQ of a genius, but he isn't far behind one. He has a great memory and would've been at least ranked 5th in the entire school. He has learned the sorrows of the life that mutants suffer under and is more trusting towards them then regular humans. Dacian has become headstrong in dealing with the situations that he is faced with daily. He approaches problems systematically and has become almost as good as his longtime friend in solving the problems they ran into during their various "heists", such as how to get the manager away from the counter if they needed to steal money. His past loneliness and insecurity has almost completely eroded, he still carries a small amount of shyness, but he isn't afraid to voice what he is thinking. Both Lucio and Dacian had a small quirk of being a bit reckless with their powers. Even though extremely intelligent, they can quickly overlook something, striving from Lucio also becoming overconfident in some sprees, the most infamous being the "Ice Melting Scam" that ended badly for a nearby man wheeling a young baby. [b]BIOGRAPHY:[/b] The first few years of Dacian's upbringing were nothing exceptional. He was born in a peaceful lackluster town in America with not a lot of defining traits that distinguished it from others. When he was born however, his parents did have a small cause for alarm. He possessed heterochromatic iridium in his eyes. After being born, a doctor called it a recessive gene with a displaced amount of melanin in his eyes and nothing else wrong could be found about him at the time. His parents were relieved, but his discolored eyes actually were a bit of a suspicious case for doctors since it was rare for a child to have heterochromia in the town and his father had reddish eyes while his mother had brown eyes. His parents continued caring for him as though the defect did not exist, although relatives sometimes found it odd, it was still a warm environment to grow up in. When Dacian started school however, he was immediately bullied and ostracized for his discolored eyes that the other kids spared no mercy in teasing him about. When he entered grade school, the bullying increased, leading Dacian to shut himself off from most everyone else and enter a reclusive state where he was afraid to speak at all, for fear of a rebuttal that brought attention back to his eyes. For awhile, it seemed Dacian would become another shut-off person, fearful of both the world and everyone in it. His eyes served as an effective way to isolate him, and even those who sympathized with him, could do nothing or also risk facing social ostracism. It was nothing short of a miracle that this didn't happen. When he was 13, Dacian was at school one day when a lone kid came up to him and sat with him at lunch. At first, Dacian could only act shy since he assumed it was just another person wanting to kick him again. Dacian couldn't have been more wrong. The kid's name was Lucio, who also faced being a social outcast. Over time, Dacian and Lucio became the best of friends and Dacian would learn a lot about Lucio. His mother and father were Italian immigrants, though he'd gotten most of his education in America. Lucio was also exceptionally smart, being the top in the class as well as scoring light years on top of nearly everyone in the class. Lucio was also an indescribably eccentric person, having a quite a few odd habits. Over the next few months, they became inseparable friends. One event is worth mentioning however. It was a day when Lucio and Dacian had decided to explore a forgotten side of the town. While they walked, they were tailed by a small group of students from school who always took the chance whenever possible to bully both Dacian and Lucio. After beating down the both of them, Dacian's gene came to light, with consequences that are best left untold. Lucio, after a few minutes, revealed to Dacian that he also had the mutant gene. It was a secret they now shared and Dacian learned the entire muddy truth behind Lucio. His parents were also mutants, both being in exile for Lucio's powers and unwilling to give him up. He had the ability to create dense fog and mist from his body that made it near impossible to see through. Lucio also had a near-genius IQ that would serve them well in the years to come. For the next 4.5 years, Dacian and Lucio were almost completely inseparable and Dacian's reclusive personality slowly began to erode. Dacian slowly began to gain a grasp of his power, controlling the amount of heat he took in and stored from his thermokinesis. Together, they stole from grocery stores, toy stores, etc. All the owners of the stores became too distraught over the freezing temperatures to see either of them passing out of the store or through an odd fog. It was a period where Dacian was happier than he'd ever been and it began to take a toll on his personality. Dacian's parents were distraught over finding out about the gene though. They were afraid of the implications that it would bring, but Dacian was able to reassure them that he could control his powers and that it wouldn't be a burden. For 4.5 years, Dacian was able to hide his involvement in numerous robberies from the police, with the help of Lucio. They never stole anything extremely valuable, but it was a robbing spree all the same. Everything came to a screeching halt 1 day. Dacian and Lucio were approached by two men while out on a stroll. The men turned out to be two detectives who'd been working on the string of robberies that they'd committed. As it turned out, both Dacian's and Lucio's parents had been forced into admitting that both of them were mutants under pressure from neighbors and close family members. This easily allowed them to connect the string of robberies to Lucio and Dacian since the stores always reported strange phenomena, temperature decreases and fog. The detectives took Dacian and Lucio away in cuffs, where they were held in detention, waiting for a sentence. It wasn't long afterwards that they were approached by a strange man, who told them both to come with him. Both of them were at odds with the county. The county was at odds with itself on what to do with two criminal mutants. Jail was out of the question since both had a chance to break out and other facilities declined. They were now presented with a choice; Death or the Program. Since the county didn't know what to do, the growing consensus was to kill them. If they chose the program, than they would be spared and their crimes would be forgiven. With no other choice, Both Dacian and Lucio signed up for the program. It was only afterwards that Dacian learned that they would be apart. Lucio would be sent to a far-away facility and they would most likely never see each other again. Dacian was deeply saddened by the loss of the friend that had been like a brother to him. It wasn't willingly that he was brought in, but it was better than death. Reminiscing to himself about how far he'd come, Dacian promised himself to one day see Lucio again. [center][b]Mutation[/b][/center] [b]POWER:[/b] {Thermokinesis} = The ability to control and absorb heat. - Dacian's body is a constant absorber of heat energy. He is always sucking in and storing heat energy from the environment around him. There is always a base-line amount of energy that he unconsciously takes in from the environment (1 min = -3 degrees Fahrenheit), though it is a moderately small amount. He can also use this power to steal bodily heat energy from other people as well as transfer heat energy from his body into others. He has no control over the small amount that he constantly steals from the air. Dacian is also able to suck heat energy from objects he is in contact with, though doing so may cause the object to develop frost. He also has the ability to detect the heat given off by other living beings by closing his left eye and focusing with his right eye, it becomes like a "heat sensor". The ability to suck heat energy from others is limited though. The more clothing a person is wearing, the longer it takes for him to suck heat out of them. It is also a moderately difficult ability to control, requiring focus in order to get the desired result. This often means that he can't do much more while he is taking in or giving out more than the base amount of heat. His cells are also able to store large amounts of heat energy, but there is a limit to the amount is body can store and extreme cold depletes it faster than normal conditions, possibly leaving with no heat at all if he isn't careful. An indicator of how much heat Dacian has stored is his skin tone. If his skin becomes pale, than it means that he is running low while tan indicates he holds a sufficient to large amount. Extended usage of his powers can also cause Dacian to pass out from fatigue, leaving his body to regulate the amount he consumes on it's own, with sometimes disastrous results. [b]TECHNICALITIES:[/b] How it's produced: - Dacian is always taking in a moderately small amount of heat from the environment unconsciously. He is able to apply focus to increase or even decrease the amount that he sucks from the environment or from others, but it takes focus to do either. He can focus the ability to suck in more heat or as much heat as he can from a person or transfer his own heat. His heat sensor ability also works through focusing with his cerulean-colored eye. What it affects: Physical, though it has a connection to the mental. Where does it come from: - The power is produced by him, his altered molecules being able to extract thermal energy from the surroundings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiksilver Posted June 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 [b]GreyCat[/b]: Eh...yeah, that's fine, I guess. [b]Accepted[/b]. [b]Hydra[/b]: You weren't kidding when you said weird app, did you? Well, it's very well-written and should throw a wrench into the mix. Oh, and clever choice of name for that character, by the way. [b]Accepted[/b]. [b]Mysterium Tremendum[/b]: Are you done with the character? It's kinda hard to tell. If you are, I'll need you to delete everything from the original application that was in brackets. Anyways, I like the character and all, but you've got an unfortunate amount of grammar and spelling mistakes. Go over your app again and get rid of all the extraneous capitalizations, spelling errors, and et cetera. I also am iffy about the heat draining aspect of his powers- limit that in some way or get rid of it. Until then, [b]not accepted[/b], thought hopefully it's not for long. [b]Shradow[/b]: Thank you. [b]Accepted[/b], my good sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterium Tremendum Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Alright, I've used word to check for spelling errors and capitalization problems. Odd, since I rarely make spelling mistakes, but I actually did make quite a few here. Now than, about his power ... What parts need to be limited? The entire draining aspect or just the part where he can take it from people? I really don't have any ideas on how to limit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bad Pennar Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 [center][b]"Tsuria No Ein"[/b] [color="#FFFFFF"]As I would say with "Quote" names, it's the name she goes by and she does not remember/know her true name[/color][/center] [b]AGE:[/b] She's 24, but she looks 20 [b]GENDER:[/b] Female [b]APPEARANCE:[/b] - Height: 6'1" - Weight: Not known, her powers tend to cause her to hover, which in turn it becomes hard to weigh her accurately. She looks like she could be in the range of 140-180 pounds - Body Shape: Midget - Hair Style & Color: Black hair that covers her left eye, there are dark purple streaks in her hair that often blend in to her natural hair color due to the mutant Gene - Eye Color: Scarlet - Complexion: Her arms, legs, hands, and feet are pitch black, whilst the rest of the body is a typical American's Skin color, this is due to the mutant gene. Also, due to the mutant gene, she has what looks like eyes painted on the palm of her hand [b]PERSONALITY:[/b] The best way to refer her personality is unpredictable and very shy, mainly due to her powers, she became a shut-in as she fears she'll hurt people with her out of control powers. She prefers to stay inside a closed room and not be seen, even by her own friends and family, never to think, never to move. When she thinks, many ideas and other thoughts go through her mind, and as a result, her powers have became unpredictable and almost uncontrollable. To keep her thoughts from running amok, she never sleeps, resulting into stark moodiness. She would do anything to either be cured of her powers, or to gain proper control of them, preferably the latter. She acknowledges that her powers are extremely dangerous. [b]BIOGRAPHY:[/b] Tsuria's Parents had met many years ago, after it being love at first sight, they got married and after a while, Tsuria's mother got pregnant with her, and therefore, She was born in a small town of Bucyrus. After she was born, her parents ran into a problem, Nobody could think of a name for her, the parents wanted a unique name for their baby, so with that, they decided to keep her without a name until she could talk, and allow her to name herself. When it came time for her to talk, 3 years old, she named herself "Tsuria" for unknown reasons, as if some sort of whisper told her to speak that name. Several years went by without incident, she was raised normally and she aspired to become a board game designer until 1 night, when she was 12 years old, she woke up from a dream only to see a dragon Staring her in the face, with that, the dragon set the house on fire, killing both parents. Fearing that very thing to happen again, she sheltered herself in the basement of what's left of her house, shut out from the rest of the world, several years have passed from that fateful day, she was found cowering by several policemen after someone tipped the authorities that they could hear crying below standing on the ruins of her own home. The policemen tried to bring her in, unknowingly triggering her powers, this scared all of the policemen away. Many days after the incident, she was met up with a scientist who in fact invited her to Mutant Watch, she agreed with several conditions: "1. You are to isolate me from everyone. 2. Nobody can enter my room without understanding the risks. and 3. I am not to see within the confides of my room, however, you cannot blindfold me." [center][b]Mutation[/b][/center] [b]POWER:[/b] To put it short, she has the ability to manipulate the boundary between dream and reality, which basically allows her to summon anything straight from her own subconscious or from other people's subconscious and put anything that was made from her power into anyone's subconscious. This power also has some very strange effects that are not controllable, including hovering, youth, materialization of nightmares, and paranormal activity. Her powers create a unique frequency of radio waves that by isolating it, will make her very easy to trace. Due to the fact that she has a hyperactive mind, this power is very difficult for her to control. In addition, it creates a tear that links to her or another subconscious in each of her hands. [b]TECHNICALITIES:[/b] How it's produced: When she focuses on her hands, tears appear in her hand, afterward, any thought materializes from these tears into reality, she can close them by keeping her mind blank for several seconds. This power also activates itself if one threatens her, physically or verbally, or they move in too close, but for some odd reason, This defense does not trigger if said person is wearing white. What it affects: This power affects her Physically, Mentally, and Spiritually, Physically, cause holding the tears takes a toll on her body. Mentally and Spiritually because she's pulling things from her own Subconscious, It affects her the most Physically Where does it come from: She can draw from other people's subconscious, but it mainly comes from her own, while attempting to control her powers to pull in or out of her own subconscious, There is almost no limit as she has a very good imagination, however, holding the tears takes a toll on the body, and holding them for too long will cause her to go into pain Notes: 1. Highlight below the name for a note about it. 2. From where I'm taught and were I'm being taught right now, A paragraph is 5 sentences of any length. 3. In Personality, I lol'd at the contradiction 4. I love these kinds of RPs XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiksilver Posted June 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Sorry for the delay. Mysterium, just try and limit the draining power, mostly. Make him unconsciously take a fraction of the heat from his surroundings, or something. Just no draining power. [b]Flandre Scarlet:[/b] Well...Tsuria certainly is unique. Unfortunately, I have some nitpicks. First and foremost is her power. Simply put, it's too powerful. It's vague and almost god-like, with her almost able to create almost anything she wants. You say you limit it by making it unpredictable, but since you'll be the only one able to decide what the end result of her accessing her powers is, that's not enough. I need you to limit the power way more, or choose a different one. It is terribly close to Hydra's power, I must add. Second, the way you write. You write in a bunch of add-on sentences that are more like someone's mind (Went to the doctor, they drilled my teeth, I was happy, then went to Walmart) then actually writing. That needs to change as well, I'm afraid. Try to divide your thoughts. Third, it's not callled the Mutant Watch program, and nor would they give in to the demands of Tsuria. They're experimenting with her power, and how she interacts with others would play a part in that. Until the changes are made, [b]not accepted[/b]. As of now, we are [b]Not Accepting[/b]. [b]Flandre Scarlet[/b] and [b]Mysterium Tremendium[/b] are the only ones who are able to submit their revised apps. For all of those who are in the RP, the IC thread will be posted later today or tomorrow morning. I'll edit this post with the link when I'm done posting it.

Yu Hansung Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 [center][b]Nicole “Niki” Minera[/b][/center] [b]AGE:[/b] 19 [b]GENDER:[/b] Female [b]APPEARANCE:[/b] - Height: 5’4” - Weight: 110 lbs - Body Shape: She looks very petite but she works out a lot and has whipcord muscles. - Hair Style & Color: Originally platinum blond but she’s dyed it to be black. It’s usually in a ponytail that almost reaches her shoulders. She almost always has a purple bow in her hair. - Eye Color: Greyish Blue - Complexion: Extremely pale. [b]PERSONALITY:[/b] She is stubborn, sullen, and prefers not to talk about her past with anyone. She treats everyone as a potential enemy, even those that would consider themselves to be close to her. She often makes sarcastic comments and generally seems to be a jerk but every once in a while she seems like a scared little girl. She doesn't get on well with the other mutants and has a bad habit of threatening others. She's been disciplined quite a few times but she still is a bit of a problem with the others. She will follow orders given to her, though not without complaint or a sarcastic quip. When she is alone though, she has a habit of breaking down and crying, but she does her best to make sure that she will never show this side to others. She is overly pessimistic and believes that most things will come to a bad end but she secretly hopes that things will end in a good way. Her personality is sometimes at odds with her behavior but she refuses to deal with it, rather she tries to bury it under work and through other activities. [b]BIOGRAPHY:[/b] Niki’s parents, Tayler and Joel Minera, met in Saudi Arabia during a study abroud program when they were both in college. They didn’t see each other again for roughly 4 years before being reunited in Michigan during a chance encounter at a flea market. They decided to start talking again and soon they got married. Niki was born 2 years after this. Niki was raised in a nice community of people closer to her parents’ ages rather than one with many younglings such as herself and as such soon became depressed due to a lack of friends. Her mother tried to console Niki at the time but Niki, being 11, was belligerent and did not wish to listen to her mother blaming her and her father as the reasons why she had no real friends outside of school. One year later signs of her power started to show. She would walk into a room and the lights would flicker very slightly for a few moments, or if she tried to watch the TV while sitting too close to it there would be a little bit of static overlaying the pictures on the screen. She couldn’t even use a phone unless all she wanted to hear was feedback noise and the faint words of the person she was trying to talk to. Her parents became increasingly worried, wondering if this was just a coincidence or if Niki had the mutant gene. They prayed that she didn’t because they didn’t think they could deal with her if she did. She tried to seek help from her parents who were becoming increasingly worried. At the age of 16 and as a sophomore in high school something terrible happened. One of the other girls in the school decided to get her friends together to attack Niki, the girl having hated her for all of freshman year. Niki, in reflex, unleashed the full force of her power upon them, shocking her attackers with enough volts to knock them out. Before she could even wonder about what she had done light bulbs started exploding above her in the bathroom where she was attacked. She fled to home but the news had already reach her parents. They knew for sure now that Niki was a mutant. Her mother pleaded half-heartedly with her father to not send her off but Niki knew what was going to happen. A few days later her parents packed her things and dropped her off at an American governement facility that they had heard about where parents could leave their kids for study. They even got some money out of it and were assured that they wouldn’t be harmed. Niki has never forgiven her parents for their abandonment of her and will often snap at anyone who even mentions them. Niki’s powers has caused her to stay aloof of her fellow peers given that she has the nasty habit of accidentally shocking anyone who gets too close due to ambient electrical energy. Her dream is to one day be able to control her powers enough so that she can be close to others without harming them. She puts on a tough and sarcastic act but she secretly hopes someone will see past that for who she really is. A kind, scared little girl that just wants a friend. [center][b]Mutation[/b][/center] [b]POWER:[/b] Her mutation is the ability to absorb and expell electrical energy from her entire body. She is passively absorbing electrical energy from around her whether it be static, alternating current or direct current. She can direct how to expell electricity from herself in several ways, some requiring lots of concentration. Any other way of expelling electricity is through body enhancement or by amplifying her passive electrical field. Her directed forms of electrical attacks can take multiple forms such as firing lightning bolts from her hands, purposely disrupting electrical equipment at a distance. She can also manipulate the electrical inputs that devices receive, creating false readings. She essentially has the ability of Electrokinesis. (most of the explanation of her power is under technicalities) [b]TECHNICALITIES:[/b] How it's produced: It’s produced in small amounts by herself but the majority of her electrical power at any one time is from the electricity she has absorbed from around herself previously or at that moment. She can store a significant amount of power but once that stored power runs out she is running off of any electrical current that is nearby or if there is none she can only use what her body produces. Continued use of her power weakens her and if she uses it for too long she falls unconscious. She can recover more quickly if reintroduced to a high electrical current. Her body stops absorbing electricity on its own when it reaches maximum charge but she can overcome this for a short period of time. If she does this she runs the risk of exhaustion, severe burns, and lapsing into a coma. What it affects: She cannot use electronics due to a passive magnetic and electrical field around her. For instance, if she even walks underneath a lamp on the street, the bulb will burst due to an increase in it’s electrical output. Also, it pretty much affects anything that conducts a current. Her power is controlled mentally but affects the world in physical ways. Interestingly though, her ambient electrical field is great for wiping computer memory due to it's negative effects on electrical equipment.

Quiksilver Posted June 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 [b]SamanthaTesla[/b]: She looks like an interesting character so far, but the application is so bare I can't tell much more beyond that.
