Saving Life in the Dark [OOC/Not Started/Accepting/PG-16]

[GENERATION III]

One has lost Sight, unable to see past the obvious and look for the real reason, now unable to see even the spoon on the table. One has lost Voice, speaking wrongly of a loved one, now a punishment for abusing the powers words can have. One has lost Hearing, not listening to the words of the wise, now having to pay attention more than ever. One has lost Emotion, not overcoming a trauma that was too much to bear, now using numbness as the relief. One has lost Sanity, not being able to stand up to others, now occasionally taken over by a new self without warning. Each of these people have been punished by the gods for their actions, and now have a chance to redeem themselves by accepting the perilous tasks they are given.

There are, in this world, five unfortunate teenagers. They have all lost someone close to them, and with that someone they have lost a part of themselves. But they are not without mercy. They each have a special power, a unique gift that makes them stand out among the others. They have never met each other until today, when fate brings them all to the same high school. They eventually will have no choice but to rely on each other, and they will also soon discover the reason for their powers and be sent on a seemingly impossible journey to their ultimate destinies and raise themselves up from their poor, lowly, pitiful fates. The moral trials that lay ahead will not only save themselves, but save the world in the process.

[b]Name:[/b] Kalvin Moore
[b]Age:[/b] 17
[b]Gender:[/b] Male
[b]Affliction: [/b]Emotion
[b]Power:[/b] Able to manipulate fire at will.

[b]Personality:[/b] Kalvin is a well educated student that has made medals for his smarts. But because he caused his family's demise, he locked his emotions away to hide his pain. By him doing that, he has this odd stare in his eyes that when people look at him, all they see is emptiness. But no matter what kind of achievements he makes, he knows it won't bring his family back or his happiness.
[b]Appearance: [/b] [url="http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQyOx52Tkd4J6azrLDGaZRDw6aOq2ZtQaXm9Y-oHEXk2BwLKq29"]http://t2.gstatic.co...Y-oHEXk2BwLKq29[/url] By his looks alone many people think Kalvin is a street punk but in reality he is an ace student.

[b]Fighting Style:[/b] [spoiler='Kajukenbo ']Kajukenbo is a hybrid martial art that combines Western Boxing, Judo, Jujutsu, Kenpo Karate, Eskrima, Tang Soo Do, and Kung Fu. It was founded in 1947 in Oahu, Hawaii, at the Palama Settlement. The original purpose of the art was to deal with local crime and to help the people defend themselves from U.S. Navy sailors who would drink and start fights.The founders were Sijo ("founder") Adriano Emperado, Peter Young Yil Choo, Joe Holck, Frank Ordonez, and George Chang (sometimes mistakenly referred to as Clarence Chang) who called themselves the Black Belt Society. The founders of Kajukenbo wanted to develop an art that would "make them invincible in the most difficult streets of Hawaii"

If you want to know more about this style, visit this site,
[url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kajukenbo"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kajukenbo[/url][/spoiler]
A Hawaiian style martial arts developed by 7 different martial arts masters to help locals protect themselves from drunk Sailors and group assaults. His father and made him study the art for about 3 years just in case someone gets the idea to mess with him in the near future.

[b]Bio:[/b] Up until Kalvin reached 11, he had lived in Hawaii his who life. Other than his parents, the only other family he had was his little sister Victoria. A small girl who is always around him like a cat to catnip. His life was happy up until he reached the age of 15. Some one broke into his home in attempt to steal anything valuable, but was seen by his little sister so the bugler shot her. On his way home from school, Kalvin heard the shot and rushed his way home. When he saw his sister on the ground with blood covering the ground, he lost it with anger and rage as tears rolled down the side of his face. The bugler attempted to shot his as well but his arm suddenly caught on fire. As the flames started to cover the rest of his body while screaming with pain, Kalvin's parents came running in after receiving a phone call that something was going on in their home and saw their daughter dead on the ground, a man running around on fire screaming in pain, but worst of all, their son was glowing with white flames. The death of his sister did something to his senses because he couldn't hear his parents calling him to stop whatever he was doing. As his mother tried to get close to him reaching with her hand, she suddenly caught on fire as well. Seconds after that the father was caught on fire too. Only with their screams did Kalvin come back to his senses but it was too late. He rushed outside and watched his house along with his whole life go up in flames. He had caused this, he kept thinking. It was him that destroyed his old life. Having been adopted after the indecent, he had decided to be alone and to leave his heart empty. It's been 2 years since that faithful day.

[GENERATION III]

i just thought of something. for Sanity, you could make the 2nd name an anagram of the first name, like in Shutter Island.

oh and spell master, you have several typos. might wanna get that.

[b]Name:[/b] Dorian LeShar
[b]Age:[/b] 17
[b]Gender:[/b] Male
[b]Affliction:[/b] Voice
[b]Power:[/b] Can create and manipulate bluish-white lightning
[b]Personality:[/b] He has a light disposition, despite the trauma he’s had. He’s somewhat shy but very friendly, and will often defend his friends, usually with physical force. Rarely will you see him wear a smile that shows teeth. Only small, modest smiles. He never bothered to learn sign language, so he communicates with a Smartphone.
[b]Appearance: [/b][img]http://api.ning.com/files/18E7T4eYCsaa9zgxqbxKEaXcQNsHkqn4ADAc8Gh-Ykjd20IiRg0LEwi9YL2BVBRykY1wuaL4yDGCCw8E-22oZSjD7ehzDZpO/guy5.jpg[/img]
[b]Fighting Style:[/b] He fights with moderate skill. More the blunt and heavy hammer rather than the quick and light-footed sword, he usually fights rough and will sometimes leave one brutally beaten with bruises of his own. That’s when he doesn’t try. When he really tries, he often fights very concisely. Still brutal, but makes sure to aim for the sweet spots so he can knock someone down quickly, and he would sometimes never get hit.
[b]Bio:[/b] His dad was in the United States Air Force. He flew jets, and he was one of the fastest ever. But Dorian hated his dad for never being home. He was always working or deployed to aircraft carriers on missions. A few days before Dorian discovered his powers, he once mentioned that his father should just crash a plane so they would fire him, so that he would be home more. Dorian discovered his powers the day he got into a fight at his elementary school, when he was 11. As he punched the kid in the face, a small bolt of lightning arced from his fist. The kid he fought received mild electrical burns on his face and Dorian got suspended for a week. The day he discovered his powers, his mom called his dad's base, who notified the carrier that his dad was currently deployed to. While he was mid-flight, the commander of the carrier told him what his son could do, and the stunned parent accidentally veered off and crashed into the ocean during a low-altitude flight and died. The base sent Dorian and his mother the traditional folded flag, and was able to recover his father’s dog tags from the ocean. They both read "LeShar, Ian G." Dorian wore his father’s dog tags from then on as a reminder of what he lost because of his own selfish needs. Soon after, he got an infection from wearing the sea-soaked dog tags, which destroyed his vocal cords. After he recovered from the surgery that removed his vocal cords, he made sure to disinfect the dog tags before wearing them again. He hasn’t been able to speak for six years. He thought it was the least he deserved. A discolored scar runs across the front half of his neck from the surgery.

Just completed sanity. I had to really think of her back story. I also hope Ashley isn't the only girl

[StealthyTyranitar]

Resrve Sight.

[GENERATION III]

@Spell please describe the fighting style. the name doesn't tell us much.

@Mohican first come, first serve. if someone else gets there app up before you do and i accept it, you're SOL. reserving is a bad idea. besides, i dont like it when someone reserves a spot and never posts the app. nothing personal, its just my experience.

[b]Name: Lukas Saerangard[/b]
[b]Age: 14[/b]
[b]Gender: Male[/b]
[b]Affliction: Sight [/b]
[b]Power: Earth control. Uses to see. (Not same way as Toph in Avatar)[/b]
[b]Personality: Lukas is a very soft character. xHe has very many weak spots, making him extremely fragle. Those weak spots, of course, are metaphorical. He tries to act all tough, but is a misrebale failure at it. He is kind of shy, but when he is knocked down, he gets back up, right away. He is the target of all bullying, though no-one wants to fight the blind kid, because that's just shallow.[/b]
[b]Appearance:[/b][url="http://browse.deviantart.com/?q=Lukas&order=9&offset=24#/d49xmn6"]Lukas[/url]
[b]Fighting Style: Lukas tries to stay as far away from his opponent as possible. If you get near him, chances are, he'll just push you away using his Earth Powers. He uses precision though, trying to control his opponents movements, and when he can't, he tries to predict them.[/b]
[b]2nd Fighting Style:[/b]
[b]Bio: Lukas only had 13 normal years of his life. He always thought it was so unfair how the blind people on the street couldn't see, or the deaf people couldn't hear. He tried to help them, but his mother always said, "Just leave them alone honey, they're dirty people. God punishes those with afflictions of those who sin great sins." Well, how ironic that was. One day, when Lukas and his fifteen year old brother got into a fist fight, Lukas was about to throw a punch when instead a huge burst of earth shot out of the ground, impaling his brother. He died on impact, and Lukas just shut down for a few days. His mom's thought from way back told his mind to shut down, so it shut down his eyes. His mom left him in this town to fend for his own, so he lives on the streets, but still goes to school. [/b]

My bad. I'll get right on it.

[Admiral_Stalfos19]

Eh, I'll take the last one that hasn't been apped for, I guess.

[b]Name:[/b] Taryn Chalicia
[b]Age:[/b] 13
[b]Gender:[/b] Female
[b]Affliction: [/b]Hearing
[b]Power:[/b] Can control other beings' minds. This power [i]can[/i] be resisted, but it will result in the victim being confused and disorientated.
[b]Personality:[/b] Sometimes Taryn can't help but break down at random moments, crying violently in guilt for failing to watch over her now-kidnapped little sister. She's always been pessimistic, but now she doesn't even have a positive outlook on her life any more. But at the same time, she has an innate sense of fear and paranoia, and this will stop her from committing suicide. Taryn has a lot of phobias: xenophobia, claustrophobia, iophobia, acrophobia, necrophobia, ballistophobia, tachophobia and the list goes on.
[b]Appearance:[/b]
[img]http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2011/301/e/5/help_get_out_of_the_darkness_by_megamiraclemaryrdz-d4e8zys.png[/img]
[b]Fighting Style:[/b] Most of the time, Taryn won't fight at all. In truth, she'll act more or less like a punching bag, feeling that she deserves the pain that she'll suffer. However, once any of her phobias kicks in, then she'll activate her mind control powers
[b]Bio:[/b] It was about 4 months ago when Taryn Chalicia had last seen her little sister. The both of them were at a rock concert together when Taryn's sister decided to run off in one direction, unable to stand what was being played. Taryn herself mentally waved it off, getting sick of going after her all the time, and instead moved up to the front of the crowd. However, that was the worst thing she could've done, as by the time the concert had finished, Taryn had a splitting headache and her eardrums had exploded on her, the latter of which she only found out when she couldn't hear herself complain about the former.

When she tried to tell her sister about it though, Taryn couldn't find her anywhere. She looked all over the place, but couldn't find her anywhere. Eventually a Missing Persons Report was issued for Taryn's little sister, but it was too late. The poor girl was already kidnapped by a criminal goon, and Taryn was sure that she'd never see her again. Perhaps Taryn's sister could've already been slain for all she knew. One thing was certain: the more Taryn thought about it, the more adamant she became that it was all her fault.

Unable to take it any more, Taryn ran off into the beach late at night to try to drown herself, but failed to do so. Whether this was through fear of committing suicide in general or fearing that her sister might've been alive all along when she would've died, she wasn't sure. Taryn was also bitten by a shark, just as she was about to swim back to shore, and dragged back into the ocean again. It was then that she discovered that, when she mentally pleaded to the shark to let her go, that the shark actually listened to her. It was a miracle that Taryn made it to the hospital from there... a miracle that she felt she didn't deserve.

rp is put on hold for now. really busy. sorry.

[Admiral_Stalfos19]

Damn... I was just expecting finishing touches and a launch as well =/

Eh, as long as it doesn't die...

[GENERATION III]

ok im back. Here are my long thought out judgment calls.

Hearing should have a different power cuz mind control is a little god-moddy, and she also seems just a tad too emotional.

Sight shouldn’t overdue the earth thing until they get out of the school, otherwise youll just be ripping apart the entire school. He also should have a physical way of losing his eyesight, not mental. It doesn’t seem real. And also describe how he uses the earth to see.

Sanity’s first power just doesn’t seem fitting, and her personalities have to be vastly different like black and white, and noticeable to someone who is a complete stranger. Talking erratically and intelligence isn’t as noticeable as, say, violent behavior.

Emotion shouldn’t be able to have color changing fire if he doesn’t have emotion. [grammar nazi]And theres still typos[/grammar nazi].

[Admiral_Stalfos19]

Yeah, I'll get onto fixing my deaf chick when I can =/
