Berkeley: Seen by the Unseen

Also, could you add copies of each profile in the Cast List so it's easier to figure out relationships and whatnot? If you "reply" to the post with the profile on it and then switch to BB editor, you can copy the code used so it doesn't screw up formatting.

karakui, I was not sure if you wanted me to reserve all of the powers you asked about, so I only reserved one. Please let me know if you would like them all reserved. Also, do you have face claims for your characters that you would like me to out down so that you don't end up with the same as others? And finally, after you finish your character sheets, or at least one of them, I will post your dorm and accept them.
Gorgeous♠Chaos, your female character has been accepted. I still have your male character reserved, so don't worry about that unless something is wrong or you want to change or add something.
Wonderful Thing. one of your characters has beem accepted. She looks great! You have just a little on your second character to finish and then I will accept her and assign her a dorm.
[USER-17494]King Shattered Heaventric Charming[/USER], I have all of your characters reserved, along with their faceclaims and abilities. Now i just need your character sheets, but dont worry about the, you have plenty of time! Merry Christmas to you too!
Stargazer, I have all of your characters accounted for a think. Let me know if something is wrong.. I make mistakes! Haha. And I accidenlty posted before I was finished earlier! My apologies!

Dorms/Classes
Wonderful Thing. Zaida Cooper looks great! She is accepted. She will be in Dolphin Hall, room one. Her class will be 12, Advanced Special Ability. (ASA)
Gorgeous♠Chaos. Aaliyah Scoot is accepted! Gee... shes so pretty... hahaha. She will be in Owl Hall, room one. Her class will be 12, Advanced Special Ability. (ASA)


**I posted this because not many replied to the cast list that is always available. This is the currectly updated version, I need to edit the other one. I probably missed a few things because I'm human. Please jsut look over this very carefully and let me know if I need to fix anything. Other than that, I'll be on and off today because of the holidays, but I will get back to everyone when I can! Thank you very muvh, and happy holidays!**

Just something small, but I noticed Zander's Superspeed wasn't in the list of abilities? Also, I should be able to finish him tonight!

 

[MarilynFae]

Alright, so it's not wanting to cooperate with me so I give up on it for awhile. I still need to update and put dorms in the cast list, but it is the updated version.. until I go over every new CS. I will update it again and possibly (depending on if we need it) post another GM post to let people know things.

Also, could you add copies of each profile in the Cast List so it's easier to figure out relationships and whatnot? If you "reply" to the post with the profile on it and then switch to BB editor, you can copy the code used so it doesn't screw up formatting.

You should now be able to click on the character's name and it should take you to their CS. Some are on there and some are not. King's and a couple others aren't because they have not posted their character sheets. Once they are up, I will add that also.

Just something small, but I noticed Zander's Superspeed wasn't in the list of abilities? Also, I should be able to finish him tonight!

Thank you for letting me know! It's usually small things that I miss. I would never intentionally leave your character out! Would you mind checking the cast list and see if it is fixed? I am pretty sure I put him on there but if not let me know and I will fix that right away! My apolozies!

Just puttin' the basics down. I know what I'm gonna do for the characters, I just cba writing that much atm :D

Mayoi Maekai

Sorry this character sounds so half-assed. This kind of character always does in the app, but she'll work in the RP.

Name: Mayoi Maekai (second name rhymes with high fry, almost)
Nickname: That's for other characters to decide.
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Homosexual
Age: 17
Birthday: 11/11
Class:
Ability/Power: Delay Field
The user of Delay Field naturally projects an aura around themselves. The thickness of this aura varies between users. Everything inside the aura (besides the user) exists behind everything outside it. How much behind it is can be controlled by the user at will. For example, a user who set the Delay Field to 3 seconds would:
- not get hit by a bullet for 3 additional seconds (the bullet would disappear and reappear 3 seconds later, maintaining momentum and velocity relative to the user's velocity)
- not hear anything for 3 additional seconds
- take 3 seconds longer to see something
- not be lit by a light source for 3 additional seconds
- leave an afterimage that was 3 seconds behind their actual movement (As in, if the user moved, it would take 3 seconds for other people to notice they'd moved)
Delays on the senses can be reduced, but not eliminated completely. They are reduced in proportion to the delay. Delaying by 5 seconds would mean it took 1 second longer to sense something. Delaying by 15 seconds would mean it took 3 seconds longer to sense something. The current limitations are: Mayoi's aura is 5 centimeters thick at all points. Mayoi can only reduce sensory delay by 80% of total delay. Mayoi cannot input negative numbers as the delay value (although there has been a single instance of someone successfully delaying by negative values. They disappeared, never to be seen again.)

Appearance:
Mayoi has an odd appearance. She's pretty average height, if slightly on the thin side. She has relatively small breasts, at least, not ones that you'd notice before the face. She doesn't really have much in the curves department, and is pretty much generally quite nondescript in that aspect. She has brown hair that falls to just below her shoulders, and makes her look a bit like the token Female Villainous Russian from spy movies. This image is not diffused much by the fact that she's perfected her Russian accent. She has relatively narrow eyes with brown irises, and slightly dark skin (not actually black / mixed race / tanned, but a little darker than the ridiculously pale British kind of white). She has few blemishes, fortunately, which means she doesn't need to wear make up, though she sometimes likes to put on eye liner to extend the Villainous Russian image that just kinda happened.

There, howzat? I think it's pretty good. Can't think of anything else to describe at least.

Distinguishing Features:
There's nothing in particular that stands out about Mayoi, unless she's in a good mood and deciding to pretend to be Russian.

Personality:
Mayoi is a little eccentric, and one would call her a bit "out of the loop". She's constantly making inside jokes, though no one ever figured out who else is in on the joke or whether she's just laughing with herself constantly. She doesn't take anything seriously and isn't afraid to use her power purely for the fun of it. She likes to tease people. Despite this, she can also be reliable when she needs to be and she can be surprisingly wise.

History:
Mayoi's backstory is really nothing special, though she feels given her current story-like situation, a little out of place with no tragic event to reminisce about. She was born to a rich family, has ample amounts of money and has always been privately educated. She was moved to Berkeley a few weeks ago and otherwise, that's it.

Dorm Room:

Likes: Pretty much everything

Dislikes: Nothing in particular
Strengths / Weaknesses:
Mayoi has a very hard time bearing grudges, and generally has very few hate-able traits. As such, she easily makes friends, though with no particular interests or disinterests, she sometimes wonders how strong these friendships are.
Habits:
Mayoi has a tendency to show off when she can; she likes the attention, but she's too nervous to directly ask for it.

Relationships:

Karen Black

Name: Karen Black
Nickname: Again, that's for characters to decide.
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Homosexual
Age: 15
Birthday: 31/12
Class:
Ability/Power: Circle Drive
Karen can store and use centrifugal force at will.

(You can skip this paragraph if you know what centrifugal force is)
For those of you who don't know what centrifugal force is... it's kinda hard to explain. Imagine a spinning top. It keeps spinning when it's already hit the table, even though no more force is being applied. That's the effect of centrifugal force. Once the centrifugal force runs out, that's when the top's point goes crazy and the entire thing wobbles and falls over. Another example would be when you get a bucket of water and spin around in a circle. The water doesn't spill out even though the bucket's being held horizontally. That's centrifugal force. It's basically the left over energy of a spin (since something spinning is constantly changing velocity). ANYWAY back to the point:

Centrifugal force is what gives physical attacks their power. A roundhouse kick hits harder than a standing kick, because you've had the entire spin to build up centrifugal force. You deal more damage with a punch when you draw it back first not because it's moving further, not because you apply more energy, but because centrifugal force is generated.

Karen can 'store' centrifugal force within herself. This is not limited to her own centrifugal force, and she can store centrifugal force of other things too. (this is involuntary, so if she were to touch a spinning top, it would instantly stand still and fall over and she would gain some energy). She can use this stored centrifugal force without needing to generate it, allowing her to attack at full strength or higher from a complete standstill, giving her very high melee aptitudes and speeds.

Unfortunately, Karen is still limited by the squishiness of her flesh. She still gets hurt just as much as anyone else, and putting enough additional force into attacks will cause her bones to break, so while she can theoretically surpass the limits of a human, doing so would cause considerable problems in the user.

Appearance:
Karen is relatively short and generally underdeveloped, physically, though that's to be expected from a 15 year old. She has very black hair which ends below her waist, usually tied up simply into a single ponytail, although that doesn't really make it any less too-long. She has large, almost childishly so, green eyes that always carry a hint of excitement and energy. She usually wears a hoodie over a t-shirt and shorts or a skirt, a habit left over from her past.

Distinguishing Features:
If you look carefully enough, you might notice several scars along her right forearm from where she literally shattered the thing into a hundred pieces from misjudging her power a while back. Fortunately, there were no lasting side-effects to this breakage thanks to the work of a kid with shape memory abilities.

Personality:
Karen is quite energetic and easily excitable. She's also quite masculine, with quite a few 'male' hobbies and interests. She's still quite childish and carries the cute naivety of someone still discovering who they are, despite her past.

History:
Karen's story is pretty normal, mostly. She grew up in a lower-middle class household. After her abilities developed, she found herself on the streets due to the particularly destructive ability of a certain neighbour who accidentally burned down the entire row of houses. For a few months, she and her sister had to fend for themselves, turning to some pretty... unusual methods of obtaining security and money. They used their weak appearance as young girls to lure predators and criminals, then 'metaphorically' crushed them with their abilities and stole their possessions. They were found by a Berkeley recruiter in the middle of a dramatic chase scene involving them being pursued by a gang of bikers.
Dorm Room: (Is it OK to have Karen in a room with her sister? She'd probably beat up the principal until they were, after all... )

Likes: Cats, martial arts, girls, pretty much anything cute
Dislikes: Men (she met some damn nasty men in those few months), dogs (she met some even nastier dogs. Seriously, how are some dogs so fuckin' vicious?), maths.
Strengths / Weaknesses: Karen is very good physically, but her mental capabilities leave something to be desired. Don't get me wrong; she's quite intelligent and has good insight, she's just completely inept when it comes to mathematics and the such.

Habits: A lingering habit from her street days, Karen doesn't go anywhere without her trusty brass knuckles. You can also find her idly polishing them when bored and daydreaming.

Relationships:
- Thanks to the loss of all other family members, Karen has a very strong attachment to her sister, Tsuki, and gets very anxious when separated from her for any significant length of time.

Tsuki Black

Name: Tsuki Black
Nickname: --
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Unknown
Age: 14
Birthday: 4/4
Class:
Ability/Power: Fragmented Reality
Tsuki can deconstruct and reconstruct objects at will. To be specific, she can select an object that is within her vision and instantly break it down into the base components that make up that item. She can then use those components to either rebuild the original object or build a new object altogether. The components she uses do not necessarily need to have come from the deconstruction of an object - she can also construct objects from components she has obtained externally. She does not need to know the exact structure of what she wants to make, but she does need to know how it functions, so she cannot deconstruct or construct living matter, but she could deconstruct a lock mechanism because she knows how locks work and what they're supposed to do.


Appearance:
Tsuki looks almost like a younger clone of Karen - they are very similar in many regards. The only real differences is that Tsuki generally looks a bit more immature (not much though), and is shorter. She also has very pale blue eyes as opposed to Karen's green ones. Tsuki's hair is a lot shorter than Karen's, sitting a little below her shoulders, and is usually left un-styled. Her eyes carry a calm intelligence instead of Karen's energy, but they have a strangely powerful ability to glare when she's pissed off.

Distinguishing Features:
Other than her freakishly pale eyes, nothing particularly stands out.

Personality:
Tsuki is the calm, intelligent one of the Black sisters, and often plays the role of Karen's straight man. She has a relatively low tolerance for annoying things and energy in general, though seems to be immune to that when it comes to her sister. You'll often find her apologising for mistakes Karen doesn't know she's made.

History:
See Karen.
Dorm Room:

Likes: Cats, books, Karen, learning
Dislikes: Physical activity
Strengths / Weaknesses: Tsuki is highly gifted in the intelligence department, and loves to push it to its limits, engaging in brain puzzles FOR FUN and not just to prove to themselves that they're clever like everyone else. She is, however, rather disappointed by her physical prowess, or lack thereof.

Habits: Tsuki is a bit of a fan of mystery novels, and she's got into the habit of speaking cryptically sometimes.

Relationships:
Karen - Sister. Not as strong as attachment as Karen's almost-obsession with Tsuki, but still unbreakable.

For Mayoi, you did good with her description. Maybe you can describe how her voice is, how she stands, walks, sits, about how tall is average height? Also, is her hair curly? Straight? Frizzy? Well kept or oily? Just small things like that. Also, it would help if you add a few of her likes and dislikes. I know you said pretty much everything and nothing, but give a few examples. Maybe she doesn't like it when people touch her, or she loves a certain type of food or animal or music but doesn't like doing this. A few examples would be nice, please. Also, I need a picture of all of their dorm rooms, or at least describe it. It shows if they're messy or clean or bright or dark and other things like that. Like if they have books or video games and everything like that. Other than that, most of it looks good. She will be in Dolphin Hall, room two.

For Karen, same thing with the appearance. In her personality that she liked a lot of things that males do, so maybe you can add some of them to the likes? Again, I need a picture of her bedroom, or at least a very detailed description. She can be in Bird Hall, room one.

Also, I noticed that you put that a recruiter from Berkely helped them there. It will actually be that a trail appears to them. Like maybe for them they see a mix of green and purple or they see some kind of light and they run towards it and they end up at Berkeley.

As for Tsuki, her ability needs a weakness, or at least something thats wrong with it aside from it not working on living creatures. Maybe if it has a certain type of metal in it she can't do it? I'm not sure, that's for you to decide. Also, again with the appearance, jsut small things. Maybe you could add a few different likes or dislikes. As for the dorm thing, I will go ahead and put them together, but it may change later, so don't hold me to that. She can be in Bird Hall, room four. I don't like to put characters by the same people in the same hall, but i might let it slide this time.

Anyway, fix those small things and they're accepted. They are all in 12, Advanced Special Ability (ASA) class.

Name:
Zander Lee Bishop

Nickname:
Z; Bishop; Speedy; The Speedster

Gender:
Male

Sexuality:
Gay

Age:
19

Birthday:
January 1st

Class:
TBD

Ability/Power:
Superhuman Speed
Advantages - Zander can move faster than the eye can see, just a blur of movement, that is, if you're watching. The more he trains, the faster he can go, like an athlete with limit of how much he can grow in speed. Therefore his whole body is sped up so to speak. His metabolism is faster, his healing is faster, his heart rate is faster, all his body systems go faster, and it's a worry that he might age faster as well.
Disadvantages - Just because he can move faster than those around him - fast enough that to him, they seem as if they are standing still - he's not invincible. He can be caught off guard, for one. If you come up behind and shoot him without warning, there is a very slim chance that he will be able to stop it. It all depends on how close you were when you shot him. Any attack, really, if you're standing close enough, he will be unable to outmaneuver. Also, because he has a faster metabolism, he requires more intake of food. If he goes long enough and fast enough, without the proper intake of glucose, dizzy spells and fainting occur. He's been know to pass out mid-run before, and nearly killed himself by crashing full-speed into a building.

Appearance:

Z stands at 6'3'' with unkempt, dirty blonde hair and dark brown eyes.

Distinguishing Features:
He's got a long scar down his torso from a car crash.

WIP!! Sorry!! Just want to both reserve a spot and make sure my character sheet isn't lost in the depths of the internet.​

I think that the only two things that you left out are history and strengths/weaknesses, but since you aren't required to do a history, I'll go ahead and post this for you. As long as you finish the strengths/weaknesses and you find a picture or a description for your dorm room, you'll be set to go. I'll go ahead and put you in your room and class though. He looks nice! He will be in Bear Hall, room one. Class will be Advanced Special Ability (ASA).




I think that's all. Maye not though. Once you finish you characters, please let me know.

 

[Karakui]

As for Tsuki, her ability needs a weakness, or at least something thats wrong with it aside from it not working on living creatures. Maybe if it has a certain type of metal in it she can't do it? I'm not sure, that's for you to decide. Also, again with the appearance, jsut small things. Maybe you could add a few different likes or dislikes. As for the dorm thing, I will go ahead and put them together, but it may change later, so don't hold me to that. She can be in Bird Hall, room four. I don't like to put characters by the same people in the same hall, but i might let it slide this time.

Gotcha, I'll try and work on that. Honestly though, this feels a little unfair. You said that the descriptions needed to be good enough that you could imagine you were looking at a picture, but pictures can't capture voice, rarely get posture and aren't very good at showing proportions. Now, fortunately, I did already have voices in mind when I made these characters, but the other things are things I don't even know how to describe. After all, I was imagining anime characters in my head and trying to describe them in as much detail as humanly possible... some of these things are aspects of the characters that even I, the creator, don't know about them :D I'll get dorms up whenever, but won't it be problematic if people are sharing rooms?

Similar for the personality / likes stuff. I never really saw the point of the likes/dislikes section if i'm honest. It feels a bit limiting and its quite a large mental block for me because I don't think about every aspect of a character at the time of creation. The only things I think about are their abilities (assuming the RP has abilities), general personality stereotype, and what kind of role I want them to have in the RP. Everything else I leave for me to discover IC, so I genuinely don't know what these characters like or dislike unless it plays a significant role in their history. Would it be OK if I edit those sections once the IC's been going for a while and I've had time to get to know the characters?

Imo, the ability already has quite a big weakness - if she wants to create OR dismantle something, she has to know both the functions it has AND how all the functions work. She may be knowledgeable, but a lot of things are simply going to be beyond her. For example, while she can dismantle locks, she'd never be able to dismantle a phone or a laptop because those are ridiculously complex things that no one knows how the entire thing functions. Also, non-standard locks that use things other than pins would be beyond her too. Now, of course a possible complaint would be that if I wanted, I could just make her know the functions of anything, but then an opponent could just say that there was the particular kind of metal inside the object to be dismantled so there's an equal amount of trust required for either weakness.

As for the dorms thing, there shouldn't be too much of a problem I don't think. They won't go off into their own conversation or anything because the conversation dynamic between them is designed specifically to work best in group situations. Your call though, so i won't complain about your decision. Can't guarantee anything on Karen's behalf though... she's a bit of a rebel.. might go breaking the curfew...

 

[Lady With Class]

You should now be able to click on the character's name and it should take you to their CS. Some are on there and some are not. King's and a couple others aren't because they have not posted their character sheets. Once they are up, I will add that also.


Thank you for letting me know! It's usually small things that I miss. I would never intentionally leave your character out! Would you mind checking the cast list and see if it is fixed? I am pretty sure I put him on there but if not let me know and I will fix that right away! My apolozies!

Would it be OK if I edit those sections once the IC's been going for a while and I've had time to get to know the characters?

Imo, the ability already has quite a big weakness - if she wants to create OR dismantle something, she has to know both the functions it has AND how all the functions work. She may be knowledgeable, but a lot of things are simply going to be beyond her. For example, while she can dismantle locks, she'd never be able to dismantle a phone or a laptop because those are ridiculously complex things that no one knows how the entire thing functions. Also, non-standard locks that use things other than pins would be beyond her too. Now, of course a possible complaint would be that if I wanted, I could just make her know the functions of anything, but then an opponent could just say that there was the particular kind of metal inside the object to be dismantled so there's an equal amount of trust required for either weakness.

As for the dorms thing, there shouldn't be too much of a problem I don't think. They won't go off into their own conversation or anything because the conversation dynamic between them is designed specifically to work best in group situations. Your call though, so i won't complain about your decision. Can't guarantee anything on Karen's behalf though... she's a bit of a rebel.. might go breaking the curfew...

For the descriptions, you don't have to put voice. I was just using it as an example. Now if I had a question about the voice that everyone had to fill out, that would be different, though that's doubful. I would never make that and I'm sorry that I made it sound like you had to. I was just trying to get the point across that it could be more detailed. Don't worry about the voice and what not. And when I said her posture and everything, I suppose that that would go more into the personality. And that may be confusing, so I'll explain! Haha.

When I say posture and whatnot, I mean how does she hold herself? Does she act confident and keep her back straight or make it noticeable she is confident or does she slack and keep her head low? It could go either in the personality or the appearance before it goes hand in hand, if you know what I mean.

I'm not sure quite what you mean about the dorms being problematic. Could you explain that? Haha.

As for the likes and dislikes,I understand what you mean and personally I always go back and add or take things away once I am actually playing my character. So that is fine if you want to go back after the IC is created. At first I did not see the point in the likes/Dislikes section, but I do now. For me, it's a way for everyone else to see what other characters like and see if they also like it. It is am advantage when pairing up for relationships and it helps people get to know the characters a little bit more before they are in IC and have to wing it.

I must have missed that! I remember reading it but for some reason I don't think my brain comprehended it as a weaknesses. I didn't think about it hard enough I suppose. Thank you for explaining it a bit more. That will work just fine! :)

As for the dorms, it just depends as I said. Sometimes I have less characters so it will be okay, but if I have a lot I might split your two up. But once the IC starts I won't be changing any dorms, so if your character does act up and doesn't abide by the rules then she might end up in some trouble.

Oh! Thanks ;) I'm still working on him (just put the History up actually, and edited things) so I'll be finished soon!

Awesome. Just let me know when you finish him, dear! :)

Ah, gotcha. lol that might take a while, I'll need to go study some examples for that, it's not something I've ever noticed before...

I'm not sure quite what you mean about the dorms being problematic. Could you explain that? Haha.

Well I mean, if they're sharing dorms but each character is including a picture of the dorm, what happens when 2 people in the same room bring different images?

It is am advantage when pairing up for relationships and it helps people get to know the characters a little bit more before they are in IC and have to wing it.

I prefer winging it for relationships, if I'm honest. It lets bonds grow much more organically. I've also had countless bad experiences with pre-established relationships that turned out differently because neither character was the same in the IC as the profiles would have suggested they'd be. Also, in this particular RP I get the impression that characters are starting out very early in a new school year, so there hasn't really been much chance for relationships to have already developed, so most would be very forced and superficial if not built up organically. Just my two-cents though.

To paraphrase Karen: "If I can punch it and it goes away, it ain't trouble."

To paraphrase Karen: "If I can punch it and it goes away, it ain't trouble."

It is set up like this: There are four halls for each gender (Depending on how many character are added into the roleplay, i may or may not add or take away one) and in each hall there are four rooms.

The hall is like an apartment. We will use this example.

There is one big apartment with four bedrooms with it. Say you are in one of the bedrooms, I'm in another, and then two other people each have the other bedrooms. The 'apartment' or the hall, also has two bathrooms, a kitchen, a living room, a dining room, and maybe another room to just relax in. So each character can have their own bedroom (dorm) appearance. Like if we were in the same hall with two others, maybe you'd have a green colored bedroom, I'd have a orange, someone would have red, or someone could have blue. It doesn't matter if they are different because they will be in different rooms, just the same hall.

I'll find a picture or make one of the way the halls will be set up so you can see.


As for the school year, I have not fully decided on when they will start out. I'm probably going to have it around the second month, but since everyone will be in the same class, they will all be new and it will be like their first month. You do not have to do relationships if you dont want to, but some people do and theya re allowed to. Personally, I do, and I know many people who signed up for this do. If you don't want to do them, just let everyone know when it gets to that time.

Ah that makes sense.

Yeah, I have no problem with other people making them, I just figured I'd warn that I don't do them ahead of time. If I do, they're very loose ideas and literally nothing more than "positive relationship" "negative relationship" or "neutral".

I had a thought just now - these people are getting lead there by basically a mysterious light or hallucination of some kind. It seems unlikely this would all happen at the exact same time, so maybe those first 2 months, people were gradually being led there and joining? I think that'd be more natural, and would also leave room for characters to have pre-determined relationships or start from scratch, whichever would be preferred by the particular player.

I have considered this before, but the more I thought about it the more I decided not to. 1. Yes, it would seem unlikely, but they have abilities and are running from the government. That's unlikely also. Also, it would not all happen at the same time. In the same day, yes, but probably not at exactly 10:03 for everyone. 2. What about those who started later? Would they just wait around and do nothing while we continued without them and then tell them that they could join? That kind of seems unfair to some. And finally, I think it would be better to do it all at once and more than likely we will start when the heads of Berekely are asking them questions. Then each person can go about thier own way. Unless i decide otherwise, I will probably do a small flashback of what was happening at the time when my characters saw the light, and then after they have all been told where they would sleep and what class they would attend, the roleplay will actually begin and become an actual role-play.

All finished! I might add little tiny things if I think of them. xD

Awesome. I'll look over him, but I'm sure he is accepted! Thank you for alerting me, Deary.

Eadlyn (eed-lyn) Ahren Chase

"Most people called me Edee
Edee (e-dee) || Chase

Gender:

Female

Sexuality:
"That's a little personal."

December 27

Class:
"I'm not sure yet."
TBA

Ability/Power:
"Oh I can use ice!."
She can use Ice

Over view of powers:
Eadlyn can use ice (yes like Elsa) so she can make anything out of ice, both static and dynamic, but not only that she can freeze things to her hearts content.

Advantage:
Eadlyn can basically create anything to her hearts content (as long as she has the imagination). She can make it static or dynamic. She can also freeze enemies if she would like. Extremely cold places have no effect on her, and Eadlyn can easily go outside in a blizzard wearing shorts and a tank top and she won't feel a thing.

Disadvantage:
Eadlyn has a hard time controlling her powers from time to time, and sometimes small little things such as ice birds randomly pop up. Her body also has homeostasis and so if it's a hot summer day, well basically Eadlyn is freezing cold and she has to wear winter clothing. Also those who are close to her or she considers close, she cannot freeze for the life of her.
(Sorry if disadvantages are bad, I can work on them. Also again she won't be freezing any main characters)​


Personality:
"Uhm...nice?"

Energetic ll Optimistic ll Caring ll Loving ll Goofy ll Sensitive ll Friendly

Eadlyn is an extremely goofy girl, bouncing all around and not being able to settle down, most people believe that she had ADHD (which she doesn't) but is always proven wrong. The girl loves to tell stupid jokes and lame puns, getting a kick out of them even when others just roll their eyes and tell her to shut up. She's very optimistic, always looking at the brighter side of things, knowing that it'll get better. She believes that most have a good side unless proven other wise and she always tries to remember (if people are rude to her) that some have probably just had a bad day and need to be alone. Eadlyn is very caring and loving, as well as loyal and she could be compared to that of a dog. She's willing to take a bullet or anything for a friend of a close loved one, leading her to be rather reckless from time to time. Because of her energy and optimistic attitude, this tends to make her extroverted and she will literally go up to a stranger and ask if they can be friends. However, dont let this bubbly and bright girl trick you, she's very sensitive and puts on a brave face. If someone yells at her and calls her terrible things, doesnt invite her to a party of something, she'll simply smile and say it's fine but when she's at home, that's when she'll let the tears fall or she wallow in misery by herself.

History:
"I'm alright I guess...oh, oh! You meant my life story!"

Eadyln knew she was different, so did her parents but they never said anything. Growing up, Eadyln never had anyone by her side, or anyone to hang out with her. At this time she didnt know she had her powers, but she knew that most people didnt like to hang out with her because around her it was always cold. Some teachers had even asked for Eadyln to stay home for fear of getting other children sick. She was the little girl that would play by herself in the park, get bullied for being a weirdo.

Though that never really bothered the small girl. She learned to block it out and just treat everyone with a smile and she could always go home and cry about it. As she got older, her parents noticed that she was colder in the summer and warmer in the winter and that was something they couldnt understand either until Freshman year. While getting angry and finally snapping, Eadyln had frozen a rather popular girl in her spot. Boy was that a story to tell. Everything seemed to have gotten worse for Eadyln and her parents pulled her out of school to home school her.

I LOVE HER! I also love how she switches in the winter and summer. Like how she is cold in the summer and warm in the winter. That's a cool little twist! Your disadvantages are great dear. I only had one questions and I might have just missed it. Does she have to have a water or liquid to freeze things or does it matter? Anyway, she is accepted and I'll link her to the cast list. She will be in horse hall, room two! her class will be ASA; Advanced Special Ability.

I look forward to seeing the rest!

Thank you! I'm glad you love her!And no, she does not need any water (it's not really made clear so it can be easy to misunderstand) but as I had put, her powers are kind of like Elsa's, so she can create what she would like and stuff. Ah and I'm glad that the disadvantages are fine. :) And I shall edit that into her profile!

And sorry for the double post but I think I'm changing my male's FC to Grant Gustin (if no one else has him and if that's alright)

Aish! I keep not getting alerts for this roleplay, so I forget about it! I'll have my characters up ASAP!

EDIT:
I reserved two guys and one girl, could I actually reserve one more girl?

Of course! Also, did you have in mind any powers an/or face claims? They are not required, I just thought I'd offer incase it will be awhile and you don't want others to take your ideas. Let me know Love! ^^
