Hm, make it so that, cuz necromancy is borked and makes things boring, she can put some sort of thing on them so that they can be revived easily or sacrificed people can be revived somehow... maybe when the summoned creature is dead?

encapturer please specify a time limit on your power.

 

Peak Performance only lasts as long as she is making body contact.  Once contact is broken, the affected item immediately reverts to its normal state.

 

Extremely long term effects are unknown, except on Yumi herself, which really just makes her have above-average health, and not have to sleep or eat.  She does periodically turn it off, so.... yeah.

An ability should have room for improvement, this thing... it'll be harder to improve, say the ability gets stronger and becomes like an overdrive ability... overdrive 24/7? A time limit, even if it's a long one, should be in place and makes more sense.

 

Besides, no sleep is kinda tough for a psychic ability, considering sleep is rest for the mind and for the mind to make itself not need rest is...

Where does one go to watch Raildex. I would like to know just so I can be familiar with the setting and all.

I kinda feel like my "ability" isn't much of an ability and doesn't jive well with others.

It should be on Youtube or just search it up, though it's pretty long. It is actually comprised of a light novel and manga spin-off series which each got two seasons of anime adaptations, the latest is still airing at the moment.

What if the ability is "to stop the movement of objects within a specific radius"?

You're going to need drawbacks to make it so that you can't just beat anyone with ease in close combat, but it's otherwise fine.

Well, my character has weak physical strength, is very sickly, and has low stamina. That enough a restriction?

I'll have a look at it and suggest any drawbacks if necessary. Go ahead and make the app ^_^

I see your point.

How about this:
1)The no sleep thing becomes theoretical. In practice it makes her mentally unstable if she's goes without sleep for too long, and will drop unconscious if her ability shuts off while she is in this state.

2)The main thing I was thinking of for upgrades was that she'd learn how to design her own gadgets to abuse her ability with.

3)Having her ability evolve to push things beyond their limits is kind of neat; I don't mind having her get that ability eventually, but that would have its own limitations by virtue of the whole breaking limits thing.

[spoiler=Crappily crap app.]<br />
<img alt="s2chso.jpg" src="http://i41.tinypic.com/s2chso.jpg" /></p>
<p>&quot;I'm feeling *cough cough* a little better today, so I'll try my best too.&quot;<br />
Personal Information<br />
<br />
Name: Sena Arukawa &quot;The Unmoving Guardian&quot;<br />
Age: 17&nbsp;<br />
Gender: F<br />
Date of Birth: 25 December .<br />
School Year: Second Year<br />
<br />
Appearance<br />
Sena is a relatively short girl for her age, only standing at 157 cm. She is also thin, and only weighs just a little over 50kg. Naturally, her height and weight aren't the only things lacking about her. Her breast size is... Less than impressive. Her unnatural hair colour of purple is not dyed, and is one of the many side effects of the &quot;Artificial Esper&quot; project she went through. Instead of undergoing the Power Curriculum program, she went through an experiment conducted by her own parents.&nbsp;</p>
<p><br />
Personality<br />
Sena, at first at least, acts like your average &quot;locked girl&quot; stereotype. She's shy, rarely talks and acts rather awkwardly around others. However, while it's true that she is a locked girl, there's a reason for her odd behaviours. She is shy because she has no control over her power and is afraid it might hurt someone, she rarely talks because her health is a total train-wreck and makes even walking difficult and she acts awkward because, well, she IS a locked girl. Sena is actually kind, almost to the point of naivety. She rarely distrusts people and has difficulty saying &quot;no&quot; to anyone. She's light-hearted, but knows how to act serious. Also, while her title might imply otherwise, she's quite adventerous and dislikes staying in one place for a long time.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Her sickness seem to not bother her, and she doesn't seem to resent her parents for turning her the way she is. She also has a hobby of writing light novels and other forms of literature.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
<br />
Abilities<br />
Sena is a level 3 esper with a unique ability she nicknames &quot;Clocktower Queen.&quot; When activated, she creates a sphere around her body with a diameter of 4 meters. The sphere is transparent, and it can't be seen by anyone, including Sena herself. Inside the sphere, any and all objects, including bullets, rocks and even an entire human body ceases to move, giving the illusion that they are frozen in time. It seems that this power is absolute, as she can even stop a car with it.<br />
<br />
While it seems powerful, it's rather limited due to the way it was implemented into her. When she was young, her parents -top researchers in esper-human relations, put her in a project to give ordinary people esper abilities tailored to their own special needs. Sena's Clocktower Queen was the first product of this experiment. Because the technology is still incomplete, the project gave her numerous side effects. The most obvious one is her weak physical strength and terrible strength. Sena regularly spends days being bedridden or locked inside her room because her health is just so terrible. Since the day she was given her esper to the present day, she's always bombarded by waves of sickness such as coughing, asthma and so on and so forth. The other side effects include unnatural hair and eye colour, as well as lack of control over her esper. While she has now attained some degree of control over it, it often activates or de-activates against her will.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Other Info<br />
She doesn't stay in a dorm, but rather a small shed-like house a not too far away from the main building. No student is allowed to enter this building, safe for Sena. The building has a lot of rumours surrounding it, and there's even an urban legend about how you will &quot;be unable to move&quot; and &quot;see the figure of a really pretty girl&quot; if you enter it.<br />

[spoiler=Franz "Zai" Geccs, app]
[hr]
"Sometimes the brightest smile hides the darkest memories."
[hr]Personal Information
[hr]Name: Franz "Zai" Geccs
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Date of Birth: August 15
School Year: 1st Year
[hr]
[spoiler=Appearance]Franz has a height of 5'7''and a body with Medium Build, slightly tan colored skin tone. Black and White hair styled like Soul Evans. He's a not really thin, something between thin and muscular. Usually has a cold stare/tiger look on his face. Looks kinda like Ogami Rei from Code Breakers. When out of school, Franz usually just wears plain white short sleeves and dark colored jeans. His right eye is colored pink while his left eye is colored green.[/spoiler]
[hr]
[spoiler=Personality]Franz Geccs normally shows a childish and crazy personality. He rarely gets mad but if you find out his dislikes, he can easily get enraged when involving those. His friends recognize how kind he gets, always thinking of his friends' happiness first rather than his own. He holds great pride in defending what he believes in, and would even defend it against figures of authority. He can also get very mischievous and play pranks on his friends sometimes with his ability. Unknown to most people, he actually hides a very dark and serious personality that only his close friends know of. When he gets in touch with it, he tends to become more sentimental and analytical, completely different from how he usually acts. Whenever he makes a decision, he really sticks to it and hardly ever changes unless a strong argument is given and accepted.[/spoiler]
[hr]
[spoiler=Abilities]Franz Geccs was offered a deal by the 7 Demons of Hell granting him abilities based on the 7 Deadly Sins. Each demon branded stigmas on parts of his body. Whenever he would use their power, the stigma would glow, the greather the glow the more power is used. But since the 7 Demons don't really like working with each other, he could only use one of them at a time, he can't use different abilities simultaneously.

Lucifer of Pride, his stigma located on his chest. Passively grants him enhanced strength, when his power is used, he is granted superhuman strength. Also, his skin starts to turn dark granting him immense durability depending on how much power he's using and how strong he himself is.

Satan of Wrath, his stigma located on the dorsal side of his right hand. Satan grants him control over the flames of hell. His rage is what fuels the flames, the angrier he is the more intense the flames become.

Belphegor of Sloth, his stigma located on the palm of his left hand. Grants him control over the ice as cold as death itself effectively freezing or just slowing his opponents. The less compassion and the more power he uses, the colder and stronger this power gets.

Leviathan of Envy, his stigma located on his left eye. This power grants him the power to easily learn everything except magic or esper abilities. The main use of this ability is practicality in learning and serves as means to improve his own abilities. With this he is able to copy the physical abilities of people he sees on shows or books and understand things he reads in books or sees in shows. With knowledge gained from this, he applies them on combat, usually when fighting hand-to-hand using Pride.

Asmodeus of Lust, his stigma located on his right eye. A demon of desire, he is able to manipulate people's minds and make them see things that isn't really there. His imagination is what makes his power stronger, so the better it is the more real it appears. Through this he is also able to make them do his bidding, but only if their will is weak enough.

Beelzebub of Gluttony, his stigma located on his tongue. This demon grants him the power to "eat" the mana of other mages. But he needs to be in melee range or in physical contact to use this ability. Using this ability leaves him open to attacks from opponents other than his victim as he is busy "eating".

Mammon of Greed, his stigma located on his right arm. He is able to create a vacuum within an area, sucking anything to it's center. Its strength, distance and area of effect is dependent on how much power he put in it.

Continuous usage of his powers could also drain him out fast so he should be careful about how much power he's using and how long he uses them. Overuse of their abilities can cause Franz to slowly lose control as his body and soul deteriorates from too much power. For now, he can use his ability continuously for 5 - 30 min, depending on how much power he exerted on his abilities. Mastery and mana control can increase this.
[/spoiler]
[hr]
[spoiler=Other Info]Because of his ability, Envy, he tends to join martial arts clubs.
He is also very smart and athletic because of Envy.
He is an orphan adopted by a rich old man so he doesn't have money problems.
Often uses Asmodeus to prank on others.

Despite his age, he is only a first year since he started school late since he's an orphan and never really tried to catch up.[/spoiler][/spoiler]

Only drawback is that what he can't see, he can't understand. Making this ability pointless.

His imagination is what makes his power stronger, so the better it is the more real it appears. Through this he is also able to make them do his bidding, but only if their will is weak enough.

Mammon of Greed, his stigma located on his right arm. Specially for espers, this ability infuses an espers' ability with greed making it require more power than usual.

Continuous usage of his powers could also drain him out fast so he should be careful about how much power he's using and how long he uses them. Overuse of their abilities can cause Franz to slowly lose control as his body and soul deteriorates from too much power.

I don't like that Envy can immediately realize how an ability works. That just ruins a lot of the fun in RP combat.

Because mana and esper ability shortcircuit when used in conjunction, Greed would not/should not work. I'd rather not have magic and esper power be able to be used together yet, there needs to be a divide between them for drama.

I would like a definite time limit on the ability.

Personality section should be just a little longer.

Also, if you aren't going to be using a picture, please elaborate on your character's facial features. Does he have thin features? Is he bishounen? Or does he have prominent features?

If he's 18, he should be a third year... unless he was held back or maybe he went into school later, I'd like to know.

Oh sorry, I was on my phone when I saw it and didn't have time to write a suggestion (writing on phones is slow :(), but if you have an idea, and you think it's good, go ahead. My suggestion wasn't the greatest anyway.
