				Okay, we now have a working OOC thread, for profiles and whatnot. Please post here for all of that.<br><br>Initial information thread is here: http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=93025.0p (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=93025.0p)<br><br>Profiles should be as follows:<br><br><div class="codeheader">Code: <a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="return smfSelectText(this);" class="codeoperation">[Select]</a></div><pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0;"><code class="bbc_code">[b]Name[/b] - Real character name<br>[b]Alias[/b] - Superhero/villain name<br>[b]Faction[/b] - Alpha or Omega<br>[b]Age[/b] - <br>[b]Appearance[/b] - To include photos or descriptions of both in and out of costume, if possible<br>[b]Powers[/b] - Don't be too excessive<br>[b]Weaknesses[/b] - At least one, please<br>[b]Bio[/b] - What your character did before they were infected, personality, etc<br>[b]Preferences[/b] - Any hard RP limits, sexual preferences, etc? Note: player, not character</code></pre><br><strong>Name</strong> - Jack Coughlan<br><strong>Alias</strong> - The Hood<br><strong>Faction</strong> - Alpha<br><strong>Age</strong> - 19<br><strong>Appearance</strong> - (http://www.e4.com/images/mb/E4/misfits/series2/galleries/cast/cast-superhoody-510.jpg)<br>(http://www.wearysloth.com/Gallery/ActorsR/14686.gif)<br><strong>Powers</strong> - He is a Parkour expert, and uses heightened reactions and athletics to travel the city faster using this. He also has abnormal strength.<br><strong>Weaknesses</strong> - His Parkour abilities need an urban environment. Anywhere else and he's cornered. Despite his affinity for martial arts, against powerful weapons he's useless.<br><strong>Bio</strong> - Jack Adams was born on the poorer side of Carter City. As a child, he was beaten up frequently on the way to and from school, (an anti-Irish prejudice by young locals, although only his parents were Irish) and this continued into his teens. When he was fifteen, to avoid being mugged he learned Parkour, letting him take...different ways around. <br><br>He was drinking from a water fountain in the park when Flowerpot entered his system. Within a few days, he found subtle differences to himself. He was faster and certainly stronger. Wanting to be able to protect himself from the muggers and bullies that taunted him, he began to lift weights, believing with his newfound abilities he would get stronger quickly. He was right. <br><br>The Hood was a hero that operated only shortly before he joined Alpha, starting when he saved a woman from a potential rapist, to joining the group two weeks later.<br><br><strong>Preferences</strong> - Ideally prefer to stay alive

				<strong>Name</strong> - Mary Samson&nbsp; <br><strong>Alias</strong> - Bloody Mary<br><strong>Faction</strong> - Omega<br><strong>Age</strong> - Early 20's<br><strong>Appearance</strong> - Mary is around 6 feet tall and lightly tanned, with a tightly muscled form. She has fairly large breasts for her size, but not unbelievably so, and has a firm rear. She has long red hair that she keeps tied in a ponytail and blue eyes, wearing glasses with thin black frames. Out of her costume, she wears a white bodysuit, covering up her torso and legs, with black leather shoes. In costume, she has on a black catsuit, with a red mask covering her face. She always keeps her hands uncovered, in order to use her powers when necessary.<br><strong>Powers</strong> - Mary has the ability to control her blood, allowing her to turn it into weapons when outside of her body.<br><strong>Weaknesses</strong> - In order to create her weapons, she has to have a matching amount of blood. Therefore, the more powerful the weapons she creates, the more blood she has to lose, leaving her weakened.<br><strong>Bio</strong> - Before her powers awakened, Mary was always one of the more bullied kids in school. Returning home wasn't much better, if her father was drinking. However, after he went on a bender resulting in her getting a broken nose, she somehow managed to turn the blood from that injury into a small blade. Her father was her first victim. But rather than simply feel satisfaction at her revenge, she realized she liked the feeling of power, and bought her outfit to go out at night disguised and do as she wished. Her scars could be explained away by depression, but she felt anything but depressed. This is what she enjoyed doing, and she never planned to stop.<br><strong>Preferences</strong> - very few limits. Would prefer my character to live, but that's about it.

				<strong>Name</strong> - Nicole Lauson<br><strong>Alias</strong> - Droplet<br><strong>Faction</strong> - Alpha<br><strong>Age</strong> - 18<br><strong>Appearance</strong> -Out of costume on the left. In costume on the right.<br>&nbsp;(http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs43/f/2009/108/d/d/sucker_for_a_grrl_in_a_tie_by_punchyninja.jpg)(http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs21/f/2007/307/e/8/blue_cat_by_punchyninja.jpg)<br><strong>Powers</strong> - Nicole is able to manipulate the water around herself to some extent. This of course allows her to propel water at high speeds while also using it to defend herself. Although she is incapable of moving large amounts of water, she has learned to control a few gallons of it at a time.<br><strong>Weaknesses</strong> - The main drawback is that she quickly tires herself. To her, it is almost as if she herself was carrying the water as she manipulates it. Because of her weakness, she prefers to use small amounts of water more efficiently.<br><strong>Bio</strong> - Living most of her life in the UK, Nicole was having a hard time adjusting to her new life in Carter City. Ignoring her homesickness and shyness, Nicole was doing pretty well in her new school.In fact she was slowly opening up and making new friends. Eventually her normal life would meet an unexpected bump in the road.<br>Nicole had been walking home in the rain when she noticed that none of the water seemed to be touching her. For some unexplainable reason, the rain drops seem to come to an end only inches from her skin before bouncing off an invisible wall. Since then Nicole has been learning on how to control her new-found power in such a way that she feels more at home in a pool of water than on dry land.&nbsp; Rather than telling anyone, Nicole has kept this a secret from everyone, lest they accuse her of being some mutant.<br><strong>Preferences</strong> - I'm pretty open to a lot of things, though I'm straight. I just don't like excess blood.

				<strong>Name</strong> – Matthew (Matt) James Henderson<br><strong>Alias</strong> – The Sorcerer<br><strong>Faction</strong> - Omega<br><strong>Age</strong> - 21<br><strong>Appearance</strong><br><div class="floatleft">(http://www.voont.com/files/images/guide/subdue-nerd/nerd.jpg)</div>He is 5’7” tall and only weighs 130 lbs with short mousy brown hair with a slight wave to it. He has the stereotypical nerd appearance without the pocket protector. He does wear wire framed glasses. His eyes are gray almost black. He would describe himself as being slender, but in truth he is skinny.<br><br>In costume he wears all black leather, pants, boots, black turtleneck, black leather jacket coming to just above the knees, black leather gloves. The whole thing is topped off with a black motorcycle helmet with full facial cover and only lens to see through also dark. When in costume none of his skin can be seen. <br><strong>Powers</strong> – His power is telekinesis with concentration and considerable effort he can lift a small car. The real power though is in his control. He can literally feel the world around him as if touching it. With only mild concentration he can sense things down the molecular level, and thus can exert his will directly on the molecules. He can also levitate and fly by pushing against the planet with his power.<br><strong>Weaknesses</strong> – He is high allergic to alcohol, small amounts will cause a rash and difficulty in breathing, large amounts can be lethal.<br><strong>Bio</strong> – He has always been smaller than most of the other children growing up and was usually the smartest in all his classes. These factors made him an easy target for the other children to pick on and bully him. Their jealousy over him always getting better grades made them down right cruel to him. He was also the middle of three children and it seemed to him that nothing he ever did was good enough for his parents. He was athletic like his older brother, and his younger sister was Mommy and Daddy’s little princess.<br><br>He is a physiques nerd with an affinity for molecular physiques. Of course being a nerd he lacks self confidence and is very socially awkward to the point of still being a virgin at the age of 21. He is the type of person though that nothing is ever his fault. He does date because there is something wrong with girls. Any failure he experiences is always due to some outside and uncontrollable forces. This has made him bitter and vengeful.<br><br>While in the physiques lab at the college the current girl he wanted was flirting outrageously with her lab partner. Of course the guy was loving it and flirting right back. As Matt’s anger rose he could suddenly feel everything in the room. He concentrated on the project of the source of his anger wishing a crucial part of it would over heat. Unexplainably the project explodes several people were injured while the girl and her partner were killed. From that point on Matt studied his new power and practiced with his level of control.<br><br>He decided to right all the perceived wrongs against him personally. It was not long after that when he became part of Omega. <br><strong>Preferences</strong> – Strictly heterosexual, not into scat, water sports, blood or excessive torture.

				<strong>Name</strong> - Serenity Nightingale<br><br><strong>Alias</strong> - Empathy<br><br><strong>Faction</strong> - Alpha (by affiliation)<br><br><strong>Age</strong> - 23<br><br><strong>Appearance</strong> - (http://www.styleceo.com/images/stores/27/f/fashion-lab-women-steve-madden-long-wool-coat-outerwear-heavy-coats-6046010)<br>Puts hood up and brings her hair over one side of her face to mask her features when using her power.<br><br><strong>Powers</strong> - Enhanced regeneration, able to take another persons wounds and fatigue<br><strong>Weaknesses</strong> - When she takes a persons wounds, she is affected by them herself until her regeneration can overcome it.<br><br><strong>Bio</strong> - An idealist by nature, Serenity was studying towards a doctors degree at the local academy of medicine, where she was well known for her bright outlook and good looks. Although at the time, she was sporting multiple scars from previous abusive relationships. She was first infected by Flowerpot when she was taking a bath at home and fell asleep, only realising once she had gotten out, that all her scars were gone.<br><br>Not knowing what happened she left for her lessons as normal, when she came across a car accident. Rushing to see how she could help, she examined one of the victims of the crash, only to fall to the floor in pain as his scars became her own. But after a few miniutes the pain and scars subsided. Escaping the crowd before she hoped anybody noticed. But Alpha did and they wanted her to join them. Although not ready to become a full hero in her own right, she did take on the alias Empathy, and agreed to help Alpha if she was in the area and needed immediate medical assistance. Although she often had a habit of taking care of members of Omega and other criminals if they was hurt also, but such was her nature to look after all patients.<br><strong>Preferences</strong> - Ideally don't want to die :P

				<strong>Name</strong> - Chase Brannigan<br><strong>Alias</strong> - Brutality<br><strong>Faction</strong> - Omega<br><strong>Age</strong> - 27<br><strong>Appearance</strong> - <br><div align="center">(http://www.buddytv.com/usrimages/usr23792/23792_charlie-hunnam-anarchy.jpg)</div><br><strong>Powers</strong> - Reactive Adaptation, <br>Chase's body and mind evolves on the spots capabilities to protect him against danger he is exposed to. Ultimately meaning he is unkillable, when Chase is injured (or even killed) or affected by something in a negative way he will develop a protection, keeping him safe from that danger from then on before healing from the injury and being brought back to consciousness. He arguably has a healing factor, as after adapting to what put him down his body will fix it (a process that takes between a few minutes and hours, depending on the severity).<br><br>Thus far his body has increased his density, granting him enhanced durability to the point that police and military weapons can no longer harm him (this increase in density has also increased his physical strength).<br><br><strong>Weaknesses</strong> - His power means he must be first exposed to a danger before his body can adapt to it, as such he can be stopped by using something he has not yet adapted to, also he has no inherent capability to choose how to evolve, he will simple be granted something that should provide him what he needs. Furthermore he can only maintain five defenses at any single time and once an ability has been "dropped" he cannot recall it, but must be exposed to that danger once more.&nbsp; <br><br><strong>Bio</strong> - &lt;&lt;Coming Soon&gt;&gt;<br><strong>Preferences</strong> - Straight, no watersport, scat or anything of that kind

				Fantastic so far!<br><br>Also had an idea to prolong the longevity of the roleplay-what about introducing the twist that the military are enforcing a blockade not only for the civilians to escape, but to quarantine the whole city? As far as the White House is concerned, no one gets in or out after a 48&nbsp; hour period. So in a kind of Escape from New York (or InFamous) scenario the city gets completely cut off from the rest of the country, leaving Omega in charge permanently and the captured Alphas as...well, you get the idea. What do you think?

				Well I tried to leave my character upto being corruptable, with the less heroic ability of transfering her wounds onto other people. Although given her nature, thts going to be alot of work. It does sound like an idea though, and realistic because the goverment wouldnt want any uncontrolable assets around, let alone unaffiliated ones who they do not know their loyalties of.

				It's definately the type of feel I want to create - anarchy and chaos, but instead of roving gangs just the all powerful Omegas, counting down the days until their rule becomes complete. <br><br>Do you guys want to start on the IC, or wait for a few more profiles?<br><br>

				I really like how the characters have turned out as well, and it seems like it'll turn out pretty interesting! I personally wouldn't mind giving people time for more profiles, then again I think we have an awesome group already.
