Let everyone in the scene reply before you post again unless something else has been agreed upon.</li><li>Please post using third person past tense.</li><li>Posting is expected to be, <strong>at least</strong>, once every 5 days.&nbsp; If you are aware you won’t be able to post communicate with the players and GMs involved in the scene.</li><li>If a player does not post within 5 days the character will be skipped or controlled by a GM, depending on the scene.&nbsp; If the player does not post within 2 weeks, and does not notify a GM of the absence, the player character will become inactive.&nbsp; Inactive characters will be removed from game play.</li><li>Reading - We don't believe this needs to be added, but here it is.&nbsp; This is a Play-by-Post game and reading is paramount.&nbsp; You need to pay attention to detail in every scene.&nbsp; If there's a foot of snow on the ground, we expect people to note the snow somewhere in their posts.&nbsp; If you're joining a scene, please read enough of what's happening to be able to join the scene smoothly.</li><li>Stupidity (I.e., destroying property or rampaging through the city) will alert the authorities, S.H.I.E.L.D., and possibly The Avengers resulting in very bad things.</li><li><strong>Combat</strong> – This wouldn’t be much of a game if it didn’t happen.&nbsp; However, please, use common sense.&nbsp; If it's with a GM controlled character, give the GM character a chance to respond.&nbsp; If you write nine paragraphs, and mortally wound whatever it is as soon as it appears, we’re going to counter the very first thing you attempt, and your entire book of actions will result in squat.&nbsp; If you manage to get the jump on a sleeping combatant, or it has its back turned, with no attention paid to you, we'll talk.</li><li>When <strong>Player vs. Player</strong> combat occurs, it will be expected that the players involved work out an amiable solution.&nbsp; If this is not possible, rolls will be used and the players involved will be expected to accept the results.&nbsp; Killing characters (PC or NPC) is not allowed without GM approval and full player consent </li><li><strong> Power-gaming/Meta-gaming</strong> - will not be tolerated. We define this as reacting to OOC information in an IC manner. If your character has no way of ascertaining said information, and you react to it, this is power-gaming, and you'll be receiving a post from us to edit.&nbsp; This includes character sheets.&nbsp; The character sheets are OOC information, do not use what you read there IC unless your character discovers it in game.</li><li> <strong>God-Mode</strong> - 9/10 times, if this happens it's going to come back to bite you in the ass. This includes random plot points that were not discussed with us that have an unfair impact upon game play. The 10% of the time that it will be allowed is if previously discussed with us. If what you’re about to have your character do feels like it might be considered Godding PM the GMs. It is better to ask first then be penalized for it later.</li></ul><hr><strong>Alongside your characters will be numerous NPCs.&nbsp; They will be defined as follows:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Killing, abandoning or incapacitating a Non-Player Character is not allowed without GM approval.</li><li><strong>GM NPCs:</strong> These are NPCs that will only be controlled by the GMs.</li><li><strong>Assumed NPCs:</strong> These will be the characters that fill space, nameless S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and innocent bystanders.</li><li><strong>Community NPCs:</strong> Characters that do more than fill space but aren’t important enough for the GMs to constantly control.&nbsp; The person in the scene who first controls the NPC is the person who remains in control, unless a GM takes over, or control is given to someone else.</li></ul><hr><hr>

Jean will cause herself to blackout or faint if she pushes herself beyond her limits.</li><li>Xavier has erected barriers in Jean’s mind which prevent her from attaining her telepathic potential.</li><li>High moments of stress or fatigue can cause Jean’s filters to break which allows an overwhelming flood of thoughts into her mind resulting in confusion, disorientation, pain, and sometimes loss of consciousness.<br></li><li>Jean is in all purposes a fairly normal teenager with all the inherent weaknesses that accompany that.</li></ul><br><strong>HISTORY:</strong> <br><br>Jean Grey was the younger daughter of Professor John Grey of the History Department of Bard College in Annadale-on-Hudson, New York, and his wife Elaine Grey.&nbsp; When Jean was eleven years old she was playing with her best friend, Annie Richardson when Annie was hit by a car.&nbsp; The emotion that Jean felt, as she held her dying friend, awakened her own latent telepathic powers and she experienced Annie's emotions as Annie died.&nbsp; This traumatic event left Jean in a withdrawn and deeply depressed state.&nbsp; Moreover, Jean could not control her newly awakened telepathic abilities and had to isolate herself from other people to hold on to her sanity.<br>&nbsp;<br>Finally, when Jean was twelve a psychiatrist recommended to her parents that they consult a colleague of his, Professor Charles Xavier, who was secretly a mutant with telepathic abilities of his own.&nbsp; Prof. Xavier explained to Jean, but not to her parents, that she was a mutant and he treated her for several years.&nbsp; The Professor taught Jean how to levitate and manipulate objects through psionic force when she developed telekinesis at the age of fourteen.&nbsp; Xavier even used young Jean to calibrate his Cerebro machine.&nbsp; During one particular session, a few months ago, an aspect of young Jean's mind reached out in the form of a Phoenix flamebird to touch orphan Scott Summers’ mind as he slept.&nbsp; Prof. Xavier erected psychic barriers in Jean's mind so that she would not be able to use her telepathic abilities until she had developed the maturity necessary to deal with them.<br><br>When Prof. Xavier judged that Jean had reached a certain level of mastery of her telekinetic power, he recommended to her parents that they enroll her in the newly established Academy of Controlled Excellence, or A.C.E.&nbsp; Unknown to Mr. and Mrs. Grey, this school served as a cover for the grooming of young meta-humans beings trained by S.H.I.E.L.D., Professor Xavier, and the Avengers’ to combat the threats posed by evil meta-humans who used their powers against humanity.&nbsp; Jean Grey was the first student to enroll.&nbsp; <br><br><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong>&nbsp; <br><br>Jean is a social, yet reserved girl.&nbsp; Due to her therapy sessions with Charles Xavier she demonstrates a level of maturity beyond her years.&nbsp; Despite her social tendencies, she does fall into depressed phases where she isolates herself.&nbsp; Jean is a caring and compassionate individual, and a loyal and dedicated friend.&nbsp; She struggles with self-esteem issues and has a temper.&nbsp; Jean is a typical eighteen year-old teenage girl with all the emotions, hormones, and interests that go along with that.<br><br><strong>EQUIPMENT:</strong>&nbsp; Only what S.H.I.E.L.D gives her.<br><strong>CHARACTER O/O's:</strong> Jean has no real sexual experience.<br><strong>PLAYER O/O's: See my O/O's (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=128873.0)<br><strong>NOTES:</strong> Information for the character was taken from http://marvel.wikia.com/Jean_Grey_%28Earth-616%29<br></strong><hr><hr>

This leaves him essentially blind without these tools.</li><li><strong>Solar Powered:</strong> Scott’s powers are fueled by sunlight. Long periods without exposure to the sun weaken him.</li><li><strong>Draining:</strong> Using his optic blasts drains his energy reserves. The more powerful the blast, the more rapidly his energy depletes. He requires exposure to sunlight to recover quickly.</li></ul><br><strong>HISTORY:</strong> Scott had a happy childhood in the Summers home, growing up with his brother Alex, and two loving parents (Christopher and Katherine). His father was an air force pilot, so they traveled and moved around often. This all changed when Scott was 16. When his family was returning home a vacation in Christopher’s small, private plane, a mysterious accident led to the deaths of both parents. Scott’s memories of the event are hazy, but he remembers his father pushing both him and his brother out of the plane with parachutes, before the craft was engulfed in flame.<br><br>A head injury sustained during the fall led to some minor brain damage, which prevents Scott from having any sort of control over his optic blasts. He was left in a coma after the fall, which lasted for two years. During this time, his brother Alex was moved along in to the adoption system, and Scott hasn’t seen him since. He awoke to visions of a bird wreathed in fire, and a sudden uncontrolled display of his powers almost completely destroyed the hospital he was staying in, an event that traumatizes him and wracks him with guilt to this day. Naturally, the event drew the attention of SHIELD, who took him in to custody swiftly.<br><br>Essentially blind for some time, Scott was subjected to batteries of tests and examinations. Eventually, the mega-brains affiliated with SHIELD managed to create the ruby-quartz lenses which allow him to suppress his powers, giving him some semblance of control. Finally deemed at least marginally safe for other people to be around, Scott was moved to the A.C.E. to further hone his abilities with others of his kind. Intense discipline was necessary at all times, as the slightest slip-up with his glasses or visor could lead to immense destruction. Fortunately, he was in the right place to learn it.<br><br>After becoming the second student at the Academy, Scott began to train tirelessly, in part to make up for his past mistakes. The events at the hospital still weigh heavily upon him, and he knows how hard he needs to work to prevent this from happening again. After the loss of his real family, he has settled in well at the SHIELD facility, and thinks of the other students there, as well as the staff, as his new family. A strict family, with lots of protocols and regulations, perhaps, but, his loyalty to them is exemplary.<br><br><br><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong> Scott is charismatic and charming, though often too serious. He has a sense of humor, but his sense of duty and dedication to his cause often get in the way. A natural leader and excellent motivator, he is skilled at speaking to others. Calculating and methodical, he has a strong strategic mind, and is often planning several steps ahead.<br><br>He is loyal and determined to a fault, though fears intimacy due to the destructive and uncontrollable nature of his powers.<br><br><br><strong>EQUIPMENT:</strong> Ruby-Quartz glasses, and a visor for combat. The visor contains a trigger mechanism for control, but controls are also wired in to his 'costume'.<br><strong>CHARACTER O/O's:</strong> Scott has little experience, due to fear of incinerating the faces of his partners. He never went very far with any girls he knew before the accident.<br><strong>PLAYER O/O's:</strong> Linked in signature<br><strong>NOTES:</strong><br><br>

He entered Bard College in New York at age 16 and earned his bachelor's degree in biology within two years.&nbsp; He was then accepted into the graduate-studies program at England's prestigious Oxford University, where he earned degrees in genetics and biophysics. There, Charles met and fell in love with a young Scotswoman named Moira Kinross.&nbsp; Their passionate discussions on the subject of genetic mutation gave way to romance, and they planned to marry.&nbsp; Their only obstacle was Moira's former boyfriend, Joe MacTaggert, a lance corporal in the Royal Marines and a bully.&nbsp; In Joe's eyes, Charles was a good-for-nothing intellectual, so Charles enlisted in the U.S. military after completing his studies at Oxford to validate himself in terms his rival would understand. <br><br>In the military, Charles quickly became something of a legend in the area of search and rescue thanks to his mutant abilities; he also met Nick Fury.&nbsp; A few years later, Charles was devastated when Moira broke off their engagement without explanation.&nbsp; He left the Army and began traveling the world.&nbsp; While in Israel, he met and befriended Max Eisenhardt and fell in love with Gabrielle Haller.&nbsp; An accident while mountain climbing and exploring in the Andes resulted in Charles’ paraplegia.<br><br>After recovering, Charles resumed graduate work at Columbia University in New York, and after receiving a Ph.D. in anthropology he spent several years in London earning a M.D. in psychiatry. There, Charles renewed his friendship with Moira, who had married Joe MacTaggert and was now a renowned geneticist.&nbsp; Charles eventually returned to the United States and continued his studies on mutation.&nbsp; It was at this time Professor John Grey, a friend of Charles' from Bard College, brought his young daughter Jean to Charles for help. Jean had been traumatized when she telepathically experienced the death of a friend. Charles aided in her recovery, and in the ensuing years trained her to use her mental powers.&nbsp; <br><br>Soon after, Nick Fury approached Charles and, together, they began making plans to open a school to help train and direct young people, such as, Jean Grey.<br><br><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong> Xavier is Compassionate, Intelligent, Committed, Idealistic, and sometimes Secretive.<br><br><br><strong>EQUIPMENT:</strong> A wheelchair, his Westchester ancestral home, estimated worth of 3.5 billion dollars.<br><br><br><strong>NOTES:</strong> Charles Xavier is a GM NPC.&nbsp; Information on the character was taken from http://marvel.com/universe/Professor_X<br>

The illusion would appear as a ghostly or holographic image to all who saw it except for the target, who would think it was real. </li><li><strong>Animal Empathy</strong> Can achieve a quasi-telepathic rapport with animals (but not human beings) She can sense their feelings and occasionally consciously perceive images in their minds. However, since an animal's ability to conceptualize is highly limited this is not a stellar form of communication. Very recently she has been able to deepen the bond, able to shift her consciousness and see through their eyes but it is difficult and incredibly disorientating for her.</li></ul><strong>WEAKNESSES:</strong> <br><ul class="bbc_list"><li> <strong>Inability to control her powers</strong> She’s getting better but misfires still happen most often when she herself is afraid, nervous, angry, or .. *coughs delicately* otherwise in a high state of emotion.</li><li><strong>Line of sight required</strong> Both her abilities require that she be able to focus on her target.</li><li>She’s just a human girl, looking at a bullet, asking it not to kill her.&nbsp; Though she’s athletic she’s got limited strength and endurance</li></ul><br><strong>HISTORY:</strong> Danielle was born in Colorado to members of the Cheyenne Nation. The first time Dani's powers manifested, she saw the image of her parents dying.&nbsp; She was twelve years old. Shortly thereafter, her parents took a trip into the mountains and they disappeared, presumed to be dead. After their disappearance Dani was sent to live with some neighbors, but she did not have control over her emotions or mutant ability to create illusions based on primal fears. Scared, superstitious, and resentful the community at large turned upon her and she went to live with her Grandfather, Black Eagle, on a small ranch just outside Boulder. <br><br>The education offered to her by her reclusive grandfather was unorthodox to be sure.&nbsp; Her peers in public school were learning history and making social connections.&nbsp; Dani learned survival skills, hunting, tracking, basic veterinary skills while kind of half-heartedly pursuing her GED.&nbsp; &nbsp;She spent years that way, her wildness tempered by her love for her grandfather and his patience in dealing with a rather angry teenager.<br>She had no idea that her grandfather had been conversing with one of her father’s old friends about her and her rather restrictive mutation… not until she found the letters.&nbsp; Who the hell was this Charles Xavier? And how dare he suggest that she move to some private school.&nbsp; <br><br>The confrontation with her grandfather did not go well.&nbsp; Angry and feeling rather threatened her power triggered and they both watched as Black Eagle’s deepest fear spilled out before them. This own death, rather gruesome.&nbsp; Horrified at what she had done Dani was persuaded to go in the hopes that Xavier could help her find some measure of control.<br><br>While she finds it odd to be at the school and is nervous around the other students at least the setting is somewhat familiar and she isn't required to adapt to life is some big city.<br><br><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong> Wary around other people Dani is far more comfortable around animals.&nbsp; &nbsp;She isn't afraid of hard work, in fact she deliberately pushes herself to the point of exhaustion whenever possible having some issues with sleep and the occasional night terror. Incredibly under socialized she favors brutal honesty over tact and can often come across as abrasive through never maliciously cruel. Though she respects those in positions of authority just blindly following orders doesn't really work for her and she expects some kind of explanation or choice. <br><br><br><strong>EQUIPMENT:</strong> None yet really<br><strong>CHARACTER O/O's:</strong> Dani has accepted that sex is just not going to happen until she has better control of her ability.&nbsp; Nothing like parading your lover’s deepest fears in front of them as foreplay. <br><strong>PLAYER O/O's:</strong> HERE (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=64208.0)<br><br><strong>NOTES:</strong> And nary a feather or fringed buckskin was to be found.&nbsp; I pretty much hate the cliche “oh look she’s Native American” stuff they’ve used for her and am likely going to avoid it like a plague, though she will ask permission to visit her people during the summer Sun Dance because it is still important to her.

Moreover, in no-light conditions, he effectively has a 'blind sense' that extends out five feet around him. In this zone, he is cognizant of the presence of both living and nonliving things. However, he still can't see; he might be able to sense a person in this range, but he can not tell age, gender, race, or any details whatsoever. More practice with this may increase his range.</li><li>Dark Affinity: When in&nbsp; darkness, he is able to function overall better. He becomes slightly stronger, faster, and more resilient; while above average in human terms, there is nothing quite super about this yet. </li><li>Dancing Shadows: surprisingly, the one skill he is able to manifest in lighted conditions. He can make peoples shadows bend and move in certain ways that are illogical or which would otherwise be physically impossible. He can also 'bend' the shadows of inanimate objects. Currently, this is little more than a parlor trick, but in time, it could conceivably become much more useful or even lead to the development of new powers.&nbsp; </li><li>Shadow Tendrils: Shadow is able to focus ambient shadows into tendrils that he can control and use like additional limbs. These shadow tendrils can move across connected surfaces in any direction, allowing Shadow to wrap them around solid objects. The length of these tendrils depends on how much shadow is available to be manipulated and although their 'grip' is initially quite weak, these tendrils should grow stronger with development and training.</li></ul><strong>WEAKNESSES:</strong><br><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Harming Light: He is light sensitive, requiring very dark sunglasses to function normally during the day/in lighted conditions; without his glasses, he's basically blind on a sunny day. Even with them, he usually gets headaches after too much exposure to sun (or any artificial light source greater than 50 watts). Rainy/overcast days are more annoying than harmful, though (reduced physical capabilities, no headaches/blindness).</li><li>Powerless in Light: When he is in very bright settings (whether it's natural or artificial light), he is unable to manifest any of his Shadow abilities (This applies to any new 'shadow' abilities he may acquire, obviously). Dancing Shadows exists as an exception. </li><li>Overexposure: Not only does light hamper his normal and super powers, too much consecutive light exposure will have serious adverse physical conditions. Increased thirst leading up to persistent dehydration, inability to sleep, reduction in critical thinking skills (on top of what is lost from extreme tiredness), lethargy, general frailness. In theory, a week of constant bright light exposure (60+ watts) could pretty much kill him. He needs at least eight hours in low light or no light conditions in order to stay healthy.</li><li> Twitchy Shadow: Not so much a weakness as an anomaly. His shadow tends to move independently of his body. Obviously marks him as something different, however. He jokingly refers to his shadow as "Charlie". </li></ul><br><strong>HISTORY:</strong> They say when you grow up in a cold environment, you get used to the cold. You grow up in a hot place, you get used to the heat; so on, and so forth. With this maxim in mind, it should be no surprised that someone at home in darkness, who is able to use the shadows themselves to his advantage, has a fairly dark, even bleak history.<br><br>Born into an abusive family, he became a victim of 'the system'; moved from foster home to foster home. He was a 'troubled child' that didn't get along well with others, which resulted in him being shifted around to numerous homes. The constant changing of environments made him into a cynic, who refused to make friends, believing it was futile. <br><br>He was also bullied a lot, and generally, had a lot of trouble; and caused some of it, too.&nbsp; <br><br>He eventually ended up running away from home, and tried to make a living doing under-the-table jobs, going in and out of homeless shelters and such. He would often dwell amongst the homeless, who he sympathized heavily with. <br><br>One night, in New York City, he saw a woman getting raped, and something inside him just snapped. He broke up the scene, and ended up in a fight with the rapist, who tried to kill Erik with a knife. Erik was able to wrestle the knife away from his assailant, but during the fight, the rapist was sliced in an artery, and ended up bleeding to death (very much an accident). <br><br>After that, he became something of a vigilante, dubbed "The Street Cleaner" by some newspapers. He didn't kill, though. He returned lost wallets (after robbing the pickpockets), would knock out criminals and leave them around for the police to deal with. He was sick of thugs and bullies always getting their way with the world, and decided that if no one else would do something about it, he would.<br><br>He is not sure about the origins of his powers, or even when they first showed up. As near as he could tell, he'd always been "this way". <br><br>One day, when he was experimenting with controlling the shadows of a park bench in Central Park, a SHIELD agent took note of the anomalous activity, and the only person in the vicinity, and began to ask a few questions. Feeling kind of like a kid caught with his hand in the cookie jar, Erik was pretty honest and upfront about what he could do. The man introduced himself, and made a proposition to Erik. <br><br>He agreed to 'give it a go', but as of his arrival, he remains somewhat on the fence about it. There are plenty of things he can gain; but it's a big change compared to the relative stability he had found on the streets, and he was still expecting there to be a 'catch' to it all. <br><br><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong> Smart, surprisingly cheerful (when he wants to be), capable of great good, capable of great malice,&nbsp; independent, vindictive, grudge-bearing,&nbsp; philosophical, distrustful.&nbsp; Complicated.<br><br><br><strong>EQUIPMENT:</strong> 7 inch fixed blade dagger, airsoft pistol (for taking out lights), dark wooden truncheon, costume, backpack.<br><strong>CHARACTER O/O's:</strong>&nbsp; Same as player's. <br><strong>PLAYER O/O's:</strong> https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=191021.0<br><strong>NOTES:</strong> In terms of power development, he'll gain more powers that have to deal with the shadows; ideas include giving substance to shadows (and being able to use them as bindings, for instance), and being able to 'melt' into shadow (becoming essentially formless, with everything he's carrying). Light will always inhibit his powers, though, so he's very much a situational powerhouse.&nbsp; Also, he is more of an anti-hero than a traditional superhero. <br>

It might seem an odd thing to list, but the rhythm he feels helps him in melee combat the same way that a capoeira artist fights hand-to-hand.</li><li>A hard life on the streets in the middle east made him a fair marksman with a rifle, though he greatly dislikes firearms and rarely uses them since he associates them with unpleasant aspects of his youth.</li><li>Street life honed his skill to move quietly and hide in the shadows. He can also pick a mean pocket... but hasn't done so in years.</li><li>His Sikh family has taught him the art of Swordsmanship. While he no longer follows the religion, he does carry a pair of short swords that he uses for close-range combat.</li><li><strong>Aerokinesis:</strong> Ri'Staraa has been recently awakened to his mutant power that holds elemental control over air. It is a fledgling gift and he only knows a few tricks so far. Generally, he can safely muster wind speeds around 30-40mph and for as long as 45 seconds before he loses control. He rarely pushes himself past half a minute and so focuses on shorter bursts until he is able to learn more control.<br><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Guided maneuverability:</strong> Ri can harness the wind power to alter his acceleration some. If he is falling, he can slow his descent or alternately he can use it like a jet boost to help lift him off the ground during a jump.</li><li><strong>Repulsion:</strong> He can create a ring of air that expands from him at its center, pushing objects or persons away.</li><li><strong>Disorientation:</strong> In very close range, he can direct a small burst of air up someone's ear canal and throw off their balance.</li></ul></li></ul><strong>WEAKNESSES:</strong> <br><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>The longer Ri'Staraa taps into his new gift at one time, the less he has control over it. If he summons a gust of wind and maintains it over time, it can turn into gale-force wind and knock him out of its center and into danger. The resulting elemental force stands a chance of dissipating at that point, or possibly moving onward into a serious natural force of its own. This is his biggest weakness; he must learn to control his new ability.</li><li>His past has made him a very distrusting person. His street smarts come at a cost of being cautious to a fault. Having his powers backfire on him doesn't help, without being taken into the school he would have been afraid to use them.</li><li>He is very confident about his cultivated skills and has a tendency to act haughty around those he views as brash or ignorant. His new gifts don't help his arrogance, since he now literally believes he is descended from Djinn.</li><li>His pride means he is also prone to seeking revenge when slighted, though he puts a lot of thought into how to get away with it. Once he sets his mind that he wants something, he'll do everything in his power to methodically move through the means to get it. </li><li>Ri is in all purposes a fairly normal teenager with all the inherent weaknesses that accompany that.</li><li>While he had early training in weaponry, his youth works against him somewhat. He could never be the equal of more experienced heroes since he lacks a well-rounded martial education</li><li>Although he has lived in the United States for several years, he retains an accent and so is definitely marked as an outsider. What's more, he has permanent blue hair that developed when his wind control began to manifest. While its easy enough to write it off as a teenage trend of dying funky colors, all these things add up to make it harder for him to obscure his identity.</li></ul><br><strong>HISTORY:</strong> Ri'Staraa was the second son born to a family of five who lived in a war-torn region of the middle east. Their town was near the borders of three countries and in each and every one of them, those that practiced the Sikh religion were a definite minority. His older brother was a teenager at the time he went missing, and when Ri became old enough to start school, his parents agonized over whether they should take the chance of sending him out for his. Education was a big priority of theirs though, and young Ri was anxious to learn. However, second grade proved to be as far as he could go before his parents' fears came true. <br><br>He spent three years in forced military service, drafted against his will to fight a war he knew nothing about at the time. Ri was lucky to make it out alive, and only did so because his family was able to temporarily reconnect with him and sneak him out of the country with a false passport and the help of a sympathetic American couple. Unfortunately, he lost all contact with his family after that and the Americans who brought him into the "land of the free" helped him out only long enough to seek asylum and find a place to live.&nbsp; By this time he was fully going through puberty and struggling hard to adapt to the new land he lived in. <br><br>School in America was always difficult. The difference in language, method of teaching and culture shock was the bulk of the problem, but there was also the fact that he was treated as an orphan and surrounded by questions he could not answer. He ended up being a reject of the foster system and out on his own by age 15. He finally was able to settle in a groove as a city kid living on the streets. <br><br>Although most of the turbulence in his life subsided and he was able to stay in school, he was running a year behind his peers and experiencing the late onset of mutant ability. He was merely practicing Gatka - the Sikh martial art form ingrained into him at an early age - one evening when he found out mid-form that he could manipulate the air around him with a slight movement of his arm. It took a while to sink in. And then it was exhilarating, exhausting and terrifying all together to suddenly appear to be the manifestation of supernatural ability that was part of the mythology of his culture. He jumped right into exploring the power with gusto (no pun intended) and although he was dead set on mastering this new talent, he eventually became dejected in his seeming lack of ability to do so. He decided to keep his elemental control a secret, a decision that came easier whenever he found those around him that held virtual torches and pitch forks against the mutants. But through all his secrecy and hiding in the shadows, S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were able to observe him and he was eventually placed in the A.C.E. program. As much as he would be loathe to admit it, he is very grateful for a real opportunity to further develop his skill.<br><br>&nbsp;It's no surprise to anyone who knows him that he would be arrogant enough to take the name of the God of the East wind as his alter ego...<br>&nbsp;<br><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong> Sly, cautious, proud, focused and snarky. Ri'Staraa is a self-assured and adroit youth who will find a way to seek what he wants in life. He has the ability to see the whole picture, so long as anger doesn't keep him too focused on details. He can be elusive, loving to hold a punch line above the head of those too ignorant to grasp it. Although he is sexually attracted to the same sex, he can be quite flirtatious with just about anyone who can keep up with him. Sex is not a priority in his life.. He likes things structured and such a thing will have to fall into its place only when he makes time for it. He hates being ignored. If he graces someone with a significant amount of his attention, he expects it to be repaid. Ri is also not fond of those who hold positions of authority and do not seem to deserve it. He values stealth and an opportunity figure out the best way to approach a situation, although his hubris can stand in the way of that helpful manner of thinking if he is offended or his interest in something is piqued. <br><br><strong>EQUIPMENT:</strong> Two short swords that he holds strapped in scabbards to his waist. They are the only items he keeps from his home land. Other than those, he has only the clothes on his back or what is given to him.<br><strong>CHARACTER O/O's:</strong> <br><span class="bbc_u">ons:</span><br>Big, Masculine Men<br>Cat and Mouse<br>Being chased<br>Teasing<br>S/M<br><span class="bbc_u">offs:</span><br>Effeminate Men<br>Indifference<br>Women<br><strong>PLAYER O/O's:</strong> Most do not apply since I'm playing a character very different from myself.

On a regular day, he is slightly stronger than a person of his height and build should be, but nothing beyond natural. Blood pumping and heavy emotions can make him unpredictable. His limit is up to and including lifting a 3200 pound sedan, not completely off the ground, and using his entire body (I.e. about the strength of 3-4 men).</li><li>Feline Speed, Reflexes and heightened senses - Again, on a regular day, this doesn't surpass anything more than would be considered natural, if pushing the limits a mite. He can't run very fast, but his reflexes work quick, and his reaction time is human, but still pretty quick, along with him being quite agile. Again, blood rushing and emotions piling up amp these up by maybe 3-4 times, reaction time bordering on precognitive when it comes to slower moving objects like fists, knives and thrown rocks. He can't dodge bullets.</li><li>Regeneration - Also not quite up to par. It keeps lethal wounds from killing him, but react slower than it should, due to his body still getting used to it. Knife and bullet wounds take several days to heal, weeks if there is severe internal damage. Bones take around 48 hours to mend if broken. This factor does not keep his body from going into shock, or keep poisons and drugs from working on him, although the effects are reduced a bit.</li><li>Claws retractable into his fingers - He avoids using this whenever possible, as it hurts a lot to pull them out. These are bone claws, while very sharp, they cannot cut through anything stronger than bone. They can break off as well, although they can grow back in a day or too.</li></ul><strong>WEAKNESSES:</strong><br><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Extreme use of his powers will leave him extremely tired and fatigued, requiring lots of rest and supplements(food, vitamins, etc.).</li><li>Small anger management issues, despite him being an overall good guy.</li><li>He is a teenager that has been through a traumatic experience, as well as not quite understanding what is happening to him, so there are those factors.</li></ul><br><strong>HISTORY:</strong> <br>His early history is a little bit fuzzy. Little is known past the fact that a child of 5 was found naked by the side of the road just outside Buffalo, New York, malnourished, dehydrated, with several burns, bruises and cuts covering his skin. As he wandered listlessly across the road, almost causing a half-dozen accidents, an ambulance was called and he was rushed to the hospital. Many people wondered just where the child was from, but as he recovered, it quickly became apparent that he remembered nothing about what had happened to him. The only sign of where he was from was a still burning brand writing 'Victor' on his right arm. With nothing else to call him, Victor Doe became the young child's name.<br><br>While initially withdrawn and shy, Victor quickly showed himself to be quite intelligent for his age, adorable and funny at the same time, winning the hearts of the nurses and doctors that were attending him. When it became clear that nobody was coming forward to claim the child, and any that did would likely not be able to keep him, the pediatrician that was treating him, one Dr. Martha Creed decided to adopt him officially. No issues were presented and the now Victor Creed moved in with his new family.<br><br>A friendly child, and obviously having had some educations before, already knowing the basics of reading, writing and arithmetic, young Victor was enrolled in his new school, making friends at lightning speed, and was, for all intents and purposes a regular five-year-old.<br><br>Once puberty hit he seemed to shoot up, taller than his adopted father, Mark Creed, and both his brother and sister, 5 and 7 years older than him, respectively. They lived in the suburbs of NYC, both father and mother respectable doctors in their fields, and they were reasonably well off. <br><br>In the Summer of 2012, they had a family outing in Central park, celebrating Mark's promotion to one of the head doctors of a prestigious NYC hospital, but on their way home, something happened.<br><br>When the Aliens attacked, with the defense of the Avengers, his adoptive father and brother were crushed under some rubble that hit their car, killing them instantly as they were in the front seat of their sedan. His mother and sister were trapped, him sustaining what would have been a fatal wound. With the emotional trauma of the moment, his powers showed themselves for the first time, first healing his wounds, and then giving him the strength to free his mother and sister and get them to safety.<br><br>Neither mother nor sister were able to remember just how they got out of the car, and Victor gave them an altered version of what happened, him saving them, but without him being impaled by the four foot-long iron pole. The young Victor from that point forward was more recluse and shy than before, and more aggressive. Nightmares began to plague the 17-year-old, not only of what had happened in that car, but darker, more nebulous, painful. Once he dreamed of someone pressing a hot iron to his right forearm, and he woke up screaming and sweating hard. His family, like everybody else, thought that this was over the loss of his father and brother, both of whom he was close to, and thought he should see a psychiatrist. But he knew that that probably wasn't a good idea, so he convinced his mother to let him join a boxing gym.<br><br>A week later, a video surfaced on the internet of Victor in a sparring match, in which he beat his opponent down in a fit of rage, injuring his spine as Victor effortlessly picked up the other young man and easily tossed him across the ring, landing on his back on the pole of the corner of the ring. Oddly enough, the video disappeared from the internet and three days later, a man in a suit rang the doorbell of the Creed house.<br><br><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong> <br>A strong lad in more ways than one. Despite his encounters in the modern world, he is strangely optimistic about people, or naive, if you listen to different people. Despite this, he isn't a complete moron, with a good deal of street smarts, if not much in the way of scholastic knowledge. Despite this, loyalty is a thing of stone for him, and he never betrays friends in any way, and family is the most important thing in his life.<br><br><strong>EQUIPMENT:</strong> A switchblade.<br><strong>CHARACTER O/O's:</strong> Reflecting my own.<br><strong>PLAYER O/O's:</strong> See my O/Os<br><strong>NOTES:</strong><br>He covered the brand on his arm, which is still visible, with a tattoo with his name on it.

Referred to only as 'Cotati,' it's main benefit in combat is that master practitioners such as Mantis are able to instinctively detect and strike weak points in adversaries. She is also fairly proficient and skilled in more traditional martial arts, mostly from other Asian disciplines.<br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Meditational Control over her Body and Autonomous Functions</li></ul> She uses meditation to control her breathing, heart rate and other autonomous functions and to accelerate her natural healing process - fighting infection, blood clotting, cell production etc. By inducing herself into a deep, almost comatose like meditatieve state, Mantis can heal approximately 1.5 to 2 times faster than a normal healthy human, with much less chance of complications/secondary infections.<br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Mild Empathy Based Telepathy:</li></ul> She is not telepathic, but possesses a strong empathic ability that allows her to effective gauge and read people, sometimes to the extent of becoming predictive of certain behaviors depending on situation.<br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Possible Astral Projection Abilities:</li></ul> None evident but she alluded to the eventual attainment of such capability if she continued her teaching. <br>[/list]<br><strong>WEAKNESSES:</strong> <br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Limited World Experience:</li></ul> Self explanatory. Possesses no effective brain to mouth filter.<br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Turns Green During Periods of Stress:</li></ul> No direct biological causation detected yet. Likely a side effect of her training and upbringing. Also occurs when she is in a deep meditative state, regardless of circumstance.<br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Useless Precognitive Abilities:</li></ul> Her precognitive abilities have proven to be both generally accurate, but also utterly useless, random, imprecise and depending on situation, either annoying or irritating, especially when combined with her lack of an effective brain to mouth filter.<br><br>[/list]<br><strong>HISTORY:</strong> Mantis is the daughter of a German mercenary and neer do well named Gustav Brandt who had a hankering lust for Asian women during his service in the former French Indochina. He knocked up a lusty Vietnamese barmaiden named Lua only to run afoul of her protective brother, who happened to be a local crimelord. Taken strong exception to the interracial coupling, Gustav did a poor job of explaining how the inclusion of superior German genes into his family tree could do no wrong. An altercation arose from the passionate disagreement that the spurned brother tried to resolve with a flamethrower. As expected it ended poorly, resulting in several fatalities amongst the indigenous.<br><br>Gustav, wounded, took his new baby daughter to a secluded monastic religious community known as the Priests of Pama. Finding their simple, pacifistic, pluralist, intellectual and philosophical teachings both odious, laughable and contravening everything he believed in, he decided this was the perfect place to leave his daughter. The Priests shared a likewise feeling about Gustav and promptly forbid him from returning and seeing his daughter ever again. This turned out to be a mutually beneficial arrangement between both sides who readily complied.<br><br>Abandoned by her father, the mysterious secretive Priests of Pama used their even more mysteriously secretive powers of precognition to deduce that said young baby had incredible potential and was raised by the Priests in an incredibly ascetic and monastic lifestyle, while pondering whether she was the Celestial Madonna, a figure of high regard in their religion. <br><br>Instead they reared and raised the child, teaching her 'the way' both in martial skill and in spirit. She soon learned, thanks to the esoteric, mystical and lofty teachings of the Priests of Pama, a mastery of exotic martial arts not so much lost to mankind as wholly unknown to them. Likewise her abilities stretched to possessing an incredible mastery of her own body down to its autonomous functions including regulation of heartbeat and body temperature etc as well as accelerated healing and empathic abilities.<br><br>Due to her quick mastery and affinity with the 'the way' of Pama, both mentally and martially, she was given the name Mantis, an obvious metaphor to the form and capabilities of the formidable insect predator of the same name.<br><br>When she grew older into her teenaged years and time as a young adult, the Priests plan for her quickly went awry when they realized their Celestial Madonna clearly had a bit too much of his human upbringing, likely his rogueish estranged father, within her, figuratively speaking. Initially the Priests of Pama attempted to prevent her escape only to realize to their chagrin that while Mantis expressed that she was a pacifist, it was with the emphasis on the 'fist' part. Ultimately the Priests realized her restlessness was indicative of deeper issues and that the concepts of harmony, serenity and deference if her spirit was still restless. Instead they realized the benefits of her attaining life experiences abroad and allowed her to escape, humble in their hopes that she would return to them once again when she became more wise and worldly, something they alone could not aid her in.<br><br>Within a week of her departure, Mantis ended up a barmaid in an expat bar in Ho Chi Minh City, exploiting the innate weaknesses of the inebriated and wealthy male for her own financial benefit. Within a month of her employment, she was in charge of the bar floor. She realized she had a natural talent in charismatic entrepeneurship. <br><br>Unfortunately, she also realized her presence tended to foment masculine aggression due to her lack of picking up on social cues and mores. Eventually, her business operations ran afoul of some wealthy expats of a military bent, as well as a local crimelord, with the point of divergence between the two involving interracial relationships, even if it was solely based on professional based flirtations. Though the irony was lost on her, someone drastically escalated the barfight by improbably bringing a flamethrower into the alcohol rich dining area and rather promptly the business burned down, incurring a plethora of casualties, Mantis among them. <br><br>In hospital after the fire - over a couple of days - her meditative trance results in her burns starting to recover much earlier than the doctors would expect. Her surprising healing, combined with the whole 'turning-green thing' lands her on S.H.I.E.L.D.s radar. They send an extraction team. Between nurse rounds, she disappears along with her records and is taken to a S.H.I.E.L.D. recovery facility. <br><br><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong>Whimsical, Curious, Confident, Silly, Contemplative, Calm<br><strong>EQUIPMENT:</strong> None.<br><strong>CHARACTER O/O's:</strong> Ons: Vanilla sex Offs: Same as players.<br><strong>PLAYER O/O's:</strong> Ons: D/s, Interracial, Vanilla Sex Offs: Extreme bondage, scat, mutilation, snuff etc.[/list]

He was a brilliant student and graduated early from a preparatory high school, entering college at 17 and studying to be a doctor. Two years into his pre-med education, he began having strange, prophetic dreams. At first he thought they were merely stress-related nightmares but eventually prophecies spoken during them began to come true, and he started to believe in what was being told to him. A great destiny awaited him, but he was still young and had yet to grow into it. A mystical realm was opening and granting him secrets that would empower him to become a protector of this world. He tried to deny that this was a destiny he could have, but it was something he would not be able to avoid no matter how much he wanted to remain an ordinary person. These secrets gradually developed into minor telekinetic abilities, primarily the ability to shield himself against physical and energetic attacks and create small (roughly baseball-sized) bursts of concentrated energy. Unable to shake these dreams and abilities, he accepted his destiny and is on the road to becoming the man he is fated to become. After unwittingly revealing his powers in a dangerous situation, he wound up on S.H.I.E.L.D.'s radar and, when offered, thought the A.C.E. academy would be the perfect place to develop his abilities, as being among peers who also found themselves blessed (or cursed?) with abnormal powers would help him feel less like an outcast or freak.

This leaves both her and the object unharmed and seemingly untouched once she passes her body through it.</li><li>Shared Intangibility: While still trying to fully get a grasp on doing so, she has found that she can extend her phasing to others as long as they are physically touching. This limits how far she along with the other person can phase through objects even further due to the heavier load.</li></ul><br><strong>WEAKNESSES:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>While inside an object, she is unable to breath so how far she can phase through something solid depends on how long she can hold her breath.</li><li>The denser an object is, the harder it is to phase through and, if compact enough, will reduce her speed at actually doing so, sometimes slowing her down to a crawl. Some materials can also end up being extremely painful while attempting to do so and, thus, be impregnable to her.</li><li>There's a great strain if attempting to phase another along with her, almost like lifting something heavy, and she is forced to go slow and stay concentrating without any distractions in order to do so. While possible, it's something she rarely does, if ever.</li></ul><br><strong>HISTORY</strong> <br>For the first fifteen or so years of her life, Katherine Anne Pryde lived a quiet life in Deerfield, Illinois. A shy girl with only a handful of friends, she found herself focusing on her studies, devoting most of her time and energy into books rather than her actual social life. The whole world seemed to be on the verge of change...billionaires in metal suits flying around, giant monsters brawling around Harlem, rumors of Gods appearing in New Mexico, and the whole New York incident in general...so the fact that there weren't any spaceships landing near her community was a relief. Everything was normal and she was okay with that.<br><br>That was, until the headaches started.<br><br>Migraines at first and, those, she could handle and chalked up to just your basic stress that any honors student with AP classes got from time to time. But they only got worse. And worse. Fighting through the only-growing pain, she showed some teenage rebellion against her own body and made the all-so-wise decision to attend school. Things seemed to go alright at first, Katherine managing to follow each lesson despite her worsening condition. Of course, all of that effort ended up for naught while changing after gym class.<br><br>Fate decided to rear it's head and put her right in the warpath of one of the school's most vicious cheerleaders. While obviously trying to mind her own business, the bitter girl was easily agitated and what had started as a small stint of school bullying turned into everyone following suit, laughing at the poor girl's slightly undeveloped figure. In tears, still suffering from an immense headache, and just wanting to get out of there, to be away from it all. Disorientation at trying to get out of the small crowd of teenage girls that had cornered her lead her straight into the wall...and, amidst sudden silence before the screaming started, <em>right through it</em>. She found herself unable to breath, not sure which way was up, which way was down, and all she could do was keep pushing forward further and further before emerging to the bright sunlight of what had been a mundane afternoon.<br><br>Running home in a towel, hair in disarray, face stained with tears, wasn't the most ideal of situations but Kitty had no idea what else to do and somehow made it back without more than a couple honks from passing cars and sudden yelps as she pushed people in her way aside. The unlucky ones found themselves not nudged away but ran completely straight through, just as she had the wall, leaving them just standing in shock as the lithe girl continued sprinting as fast as possible towards her house. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, she made it back, ignoring the stares of her parents and barricading herself in her room. They finally used force to break through the lock and could only stand and gawk as their tear-stained daughter was standing up straight on the floor, a bed bisecting her in half as she looked up at them in disbelief herself, before walking completely out from it with her form unscathed.<br><br>The good news? The headaches were mostly gone. The bad news? Too many things to count. Calls were coming in from the school, her Facebook that was once barren was now riddled with posts, and, worse of all,&nbsp; Kitty was scared shitless. She had stopped unintentionally going through objects – fine china was not the best idea to give her shaking form a sandwich on – but still had no idea what was going on. All she wanted was to go back to her old life of being that girl that no one really paid much attention to but even the most optimistic of optimists could tell her that that was off the table for now. Her parents were, arguably, even worse, unsure if she was sick or there was something deeper wrong with their daughter. <br><br>A knock at the door came only hours later, men in suits arriving in the Pryde household and awkwardly pooling in the small living room. Katherine's mother was so flustered, she even offered them coffee. The one in charge found a scared girl in her room and calmly explained the whole situation to her and her parents standing by the doorway. How there were others like her, others like the ones she saw in New York. That there was a facility established in Montana, nestled in the Rockies where she could learn how to control her gift and use it for good, just like Thor or the Hulk. Being compared to big green monsters wasn't exactly the most settling feeling in the world but, once they mentioned that there would be other kids, all special, just like her, she realized that it was probably the best option, even if she didn't exactly feel like hero material. Hell, she didn't even want to be able to do any of this in the first place. Still, with some convincing from her parents as well, Kitty Pryde gave a solemn nod and was officially going to be enrolled in the newly created A.C.E. Program.<br><br><strong>PERSONALITY</strong><br>Even before she realized how different she really was, Kitty never really felt like she fit in with many of the kids in her school, only having a few friends, if she could even call them that. Mostly quiet and pensive due to this, she never really stood out in a crowd – ironic now that one thinks about it – and preferred the company of books over people. This shyness is hard to break through but, underneath is a sarcastic sense of humor just waiting to be unleashed. Being a teenage girl, there are the usual emotional roller-coasters that she hitches on a ride on sometimes, impulses and hormones being hard to contain, but, most of the time, she keeps calm and in check of herself.<br><br><strong>EQUIPMENT:</strong> Whatever S.H.I.E.L.D. decides to hand out.<br><strong>CHARACTER O/Os:</strong> Kitty has no sexual history of note thus far despite interest.<br><strong>PLAYER O/Os:</strong> Honestly, it's not much of a big deal. Just ask if curious.<br><strong>NOTES:</strong>&nbsp; An alternative version based on the original from Earth-616 (http://marvel.wikia.com/Katherine_Pryde_(Earth-616)).

He has been shown to fly across the New Mexico desert in a matter of seconds. Thor tackled the Hulk through the wall of the Helicarrier in a split second to be visibly seen as a blur.</li><li><strong>Superhuman Dense Tissue –</strong> Thor's skin, muscle, and bone tissue have several times the density of the same tissue in the body of a human being, contributing to his superhuman weight. Even when he was stripped of his powers, he was still amazingly durable due to his dense body. He was hit twice by Jane Foster's truck and even though he was knocked down, he showed no visible damage after getting up.</li><li><strong>Superhuman Stamina –</strong> Thor has shown the ability to fight for long periods of time without exhausting.</li><li><strong>Regenerative Healing Factor –</strong> Thor was stabbed by Loki with a small dagger in the Battle of New York and was injured for a moment when minutes later he was completely healed.</li></ul><li><strong>Master Combatant –</strong> Thor is the greatest and most powerful warrior in Asgard since Odin and is one of the most skilled fighters to ever walk the planet.&nbsp; He was able to fight and gain the advantage with nearly a dozen S.H.I.E.L.D. operatives, while powerless and mortal, with only his vast fighting skills, as agent Coulson stated "he made his men, some of the most highly trained professionals in the world, look like a bunch of minimum wage mall cops." He was able to maneuver around the larger Hulk and strike him with ease.</li><li><strong>Master Hammer Fighter –</strong> After centuries of practice wielding his hammer, Thor is a master of fighting with Mjølnir and is proficient in hammer throwing. He can even block several energy shots with Mjølnir, from the Destroyer, Loki's staff and Chitauri weaponry.</li><li><strong>Master Tactician –</strong> For over thousands of years, he has lead Asgard, Sif and the Warriors Three into battle against forces with great leadership and employing strategies and tactics from possibly every culture on Earth as well as the rest of the Nine Realms.</li></ul><strong>WEAKNESSES:</strong> <br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Inexperienced with modern Earth culture.</li><li>Odin can strip him of his powers.</li><li>He is the defender of the Nine Realms and thus can’t be in Midgard all the time.</li><li>Thor seems to trust easily and he seems to be easily manipulated.</li><li>His arrogance can lead him to underestimate an opponent or situation, and can lead him to act recklessly.</li></ul><br><strong>HISTORY:</strong> Thor is the heir of Odin, the king of Asgard. When Thor's arrogance nearly plunged his realm into war, Odin banished Thor to Earth as punishment, where his otherworldly antics drew the attention of S.H.I.E.L.D.&nbsp; While in exile on Earth, Thor learned humility and helped to save his new friends from a destructive threat sent by his jealous adoptive brother Loki.&nbsp; In the process, Thor redeemed himself in the eyes of his father, and attempted to confront Loki over his actions; the ensuing confrontation resulted in Loki's own exile.&nbsp; After being welcomed back to Asgard as a hero, Thor returned to Earth once again to prevent a cosmic-level catastrophe.&nbsp; The mighty warrior soon found himself drawn into an unlikely alliance with Nick Fury's secret initiative, The Avengers, lending his power to their cause against Loki and his army.<br><br>Thor is currently not on Earth and has not been seen since leaving with Loki and the Tesseract.<br><br><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong> Boisterous, Loyal, Arrogant, Compassionate, Honorable.<br><br><br><strong>EQUIPMENT:</strong> <br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Mjølnir, a legendary hammer with immense power.</li><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Wielding Mjølnir grants Thor the ability to control the base elements of a storm. It can control the elements and can create giant raging electrical storms complete with thunder, lightning, hurricane-force winds, tornadoes, tidal waves, earthquakes, and torrential rains on a moment's notice.</li><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Thor's main weapon using Mjølnir is his lightning bolt or thunderbolt. He summoned a lightning bolt at Iron Man that boosted his armor's power reserve up to +400%. Thor shot a massive lightning bolt at the portal of the Chitauri to prevent anymore enemy reinforcements, took down a Chitauri warship with a single thunderbolt.</li></ul><li>After Thor disobeyed Odin and nearly caused a war between Asgard and Jotunheim, Odin banished Thor to Earth without his powers and placed an enchantment on the hammer Mjølnir. "Who so ever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor." This enchantment surrounding Mjølnir prevents it from being wielded by anyone save those who have been found worthy.</li><li><strong>Material Transformation:</strong> By summoning lightning from the sky into Mjølnir, Thor's uniform was transformed into his battle armor.</li><li><strong>Mystical Link</strong>: Mjølnir obeys Thor's commands as though it were alive. Mjølnir went to Thor when it was in a crater from miles away, it came to him in seconds. Mjølnir will return to Thor whenever he throws it at an opponent. While battling the Hulk in a hanger of the Helicarrier, Thor summoned Mjølnir from another room and it came crashing through the Helicarrier to get to him.</li><li><strong>Flight:</strong> Thor is capable of hurling Mjølnir with great force and, by holding onto the leather thong, is capable of flying through the air at tremendous speeds. He was able to remain aloft in the middle of a Class 5 tornado. He used Mjølnir to fly into combat against Iron Man in the woods, to fly to the top of a skyscraper, and on top of a Chitauri warship.</li></ul><li><strong>Thor’s Armor:</strong> Sleeveless with a black top covered in silver plates. It has blue pants and black boots. It had red wrist bands covered with silver arm bracers.

For example, where a car-bomb against his chest might make the armor disappear for a few minutes, and falling from a large height might dismiss it for most of an hour, taking a hit from the Hulk could send it away for a couple of hours, etc.</li></ul><br><strong>HISTORY:</strong> Arthur was born in Liverpool England to a poor family. His father John and mother Mary did their best to support him. John always told Arthur stories of King Arthur and the knights of the round table, filling the young boys mind with thoughts of sword fights and magic kingdoms. The young boy spent most of his free time teaching himself how to sword fight and rally his friends to "combat" or at least come together for a common goal. <br><br>At the age of ten Arthur built a tree house that he considered his castle. The tree house was three stories tall with a home made round table he and his fiends sat at and played games on. When Arthur turned twelve he went out to a nearby lake to fish so he could attempt to cook them for his friends. While fishing his eyes caught the glimmer of silver at the bottom of the lake. Curious about what it was at the bottom of the lake, Arthur took a few steps back and tossed his line out to the middle of the lake. The sinker on the line caused the fishing line to drop and hook to something. <br><br>With a gentle tug and reel of the line, he reeled in the item while carefully tugging the at the pole. He was amazed to find that he had found a real sword wrapped in a black and gold scabbard. He pulled it out of the scabbard and it seemed to not have a single speck of rust on it. Arthur pulled the blade up and examined it carefully. While looking at the blade he noticed it had two different things inscribed on it. On one side it said "True kings" and on the other side it said "Cut steal". <br><br>Arthur swung the blade around a few times before it wrapped him in black and gold armor and bestowed upon him super strength, enhanced durability and gave his blade the ability to fire off small bursts of light. Arthur freaked out and tried to drop the blade but when he let it go it changed to a gauntlet and the armor vanished. Arthur tried to remove the gauntlet before it changed into a small bracelet that looked like a wrist watch. <br><br>He spent the next three years doing his best to hide this from his parents and returned to the lake every day, using his weapon and armor to enhance his powers. He slowly raised his powers to the point that he felt he could make a difference in the world. Just as he was getting ready to make his debut in England the Avengers made their debut. Arthur felt instantly like he was not ready...He told his parents about his powers and shortly after he was sent to the new school that S.H.I.E.L.D. was running.<br><br><br><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong> Arthur has taken the fact that he found Excalibur to heart and has taken on an air of nobility. He is decisive and just, often times not even bothering to draw his weapon against someone that does not have a means to defend themselves. He considers all his allies his "knights" and values each of their opinions and lives. Arthur will always place himself in harms way if it will keep his friends safe. The first to enter a conflict and the last to leave, Arthur considers himself a natural leader even if others don't.<br><br><br><strong>EQUIPMENT:</strong> Gauntlet of Legacy.- Excalibur takes the form of a magic bracelet that forms his armor and weapon after a moment of focusing.<br><strong>CHARACTER O/O's:</strong> Arthur finds assertive and powerful women attractive. <br><strong>PLAYER O/O's:</strong> Down for anything once, except guy on guy.<br><strong>NOTES:</strong> All of his powers are at the lowest level currently so he has room to grow.

Zoe grew up with five siblings, three older brothers and one younger sister. Besides being valuable members of the town, the family owned and operated their own business which took off when Zoe was very young. The family had always had money, and it just grew and grew as she was growing up. Her mother was obsessed with her younger sister, and of course the boys were always with her father, which gave Zoe a lot of time to herself. Nonetheless she was always closest to her eldest brother, and didn't really have a lot of friends. Although, that wasn't completely her fault. The kids were home-schooled all through their lives, so getting out and making friends never really happened for Zoe.<br><br>The family was close knit, even though it was clear who liked who. Her father was never home, and her mother was always out with her younger sister, so it was a boring childhood. Nothing really happened with Zoe when she was young, it was a normal life... to her. Things continued on and on, until her eldest brother was shipped off to military school after he turned 18... Zoe was 12. When this happened, it was sudden and nobody told her until the day he left. Naturally she was very upset and was freaking out, screaming at her parents, and even her brother. Frustrated beyond belief she ran into her room, and when she watched her brother leave she couldn't help but wish to be anywhere but where she was, to be in her happy place that only brought joy to her. The next thing she knew... she was. Opening her eyes, after her body seemed to go through a hot flash for a split second, she found herself in the garage where she and her brother worked on cars together.<br><br>After that experience, she was always alone. Zoe almost cut herself off from her family for a few months, always disappearing after school work times and then not coming back until dinner or even after dinner. The new found talent mesmerized her, but it took her a while to get it to work again, and when she did finally start getting it, she could never travel that far. It started by just being able to move a few feet, maybe from one side of a room to another. Slowly, though, she started to further her distance, eventually being able to move all around the house from one side to the other. Zoe has never taken her ability out of the house, so she didn't know if she could go greater distances. After a while, she started to communicate with her family again and hanging out with her brothers and sister again, enjoying the time. Life went back to normal for a few years. Building the car with her brothers, playing around with them, doing girly things with her sister.<br><br>It was a normal life, and after a couple years went by, she watched her second eldest brother go off to the military academy also. It was then when Zoe realized that it was going to be tradition. After each child turned 18 they were going to be shipped off to the military academy. It was nice seeing her two brothers when they could come back, but that wasn't very often, the family was lucky to see them on holidays. Eventually her other brother turned 18, and he was gone, too. Frustrated by her dwindling family, Zoe tried to find hobbies to occupy her mind, but she really didn't have anything else but the car. When she finished that she was just fifteen and had nothing else to do. Soon, she found something her mother had hidden all over the house... her liquor. At first Zoe thought it was just a fun buzz, but quickly she found herself finding more and more bottles when things got frustrating in her life. When she turned seventeen her father had to move the family due to some sort of relocation process for the company.<br><br>To put simply, Zoe wasn't happy with moving. Coupled with that, her brothers were missing and unable to make more and more events in her life. After they moved, she was rarely sober and figured that life was not going to get better. One day she overheard her parents talking about sending her to the military academy as soon as they could, which was when she was seventeen years and six months. Zoe didn't agree with that, and decided to take drastic measures. One night she packed a backpack with her clothes and plenty of booze and set out on her own, leaving the family. Of course she continued to work with teleporting, figuring it was a lot quicker than walking. A few days after she left she found herself lost in the middle of nowhere, and confused, frustrated and concerned for her own well-being. So, naturally, she hitched a ride from the person who stopped. It was a clean semi, but the driver didn't seem all that clean, but he was friendly enough to give her a ride to the next big city.<br><br>When they arrived at the city, he suddenly expected payment for transporting her. She didn't know what give him, and he wasn't taking her money. Soon, he was trying to force himself on her in his truck and she was trying to stop him, but she wasn't strong. Before he could do anything to her, though, something happened. When she tried to put her hands up to stop him and push him away a blue transparent wall seemed to form, and when she pushed him, he seemed to go flying back. Confused, and a little scared, Zoe took the opportunity to jump out and start running for her life. She's not sure how long she ran, but she found herself outside the city again, in the woods, and alone, with nothing but a bag full of dirty clothes and booze. She found a place to stop, and lit a fire, smoking and drinking all night as she tried and tried to form the blue transparent wall thing she did before. But, no matter how hard she tried she could only get small little orbs about the size of her hands to form.<br><br>That's when they found her, and explained what she was and how they could help. Eager to learn more, and happy to find people who knew what she was, she agreed to joining the program. But, there was one problem, her parents and family were searching for her. Zoe went home, accompanied by a school representative, had a reunion and grabbed her car. Explaining to them that this academy for excellent people and minds have offered her to come study with them, which was a lot easier with an agent there to help her through the explaining process. There was no way that she could tell her family what she really was, and her parents were excited that she was going to a private institution, even it wasn't a strict military one like her brothers. <br><br><br><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong> Zo is simply a very passionate young woman. She puts her heart and soul into everything she does, and sometimes it back fires on her. That coupled with her competitiveness makes her almost dangerous when it comes to competing or trying to win or be the best at something. At the same time, she is very easily angered and hot tempered, she is quick to argue and fight with someone if they start something with her. She gets frustrated when she can't do something, which leads her to becoming angry and irritated. As long as she doesn't get too angry, though, she is a very gentle and kind girl who is always just looking for a good time.<br><br><br><strong>EQUIPMENT:</strong> Money and the love of her life (http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2-ChvhBmokA/UEDFdMdMtyI/AAAAAAAAH1c/OF29da9NGUk/s640/1969-Pontiac-GTO.jpg) (for the moment).&nbsp; Car is currently stored off-site.<br><strong>CHARACTER O/O's:</strong> Same as my own.<br><strong>PLAYER O/O's:</strong> Listed on my O/O's page.

Depending on the substances alight, and any impurities outside, the color of the flame and the fire's intensity will be different.<br><br>Depending on what type of material he sets on fire determines how long the fire will burn.&nbsp; Clothes, furniture, and flesh can catch on fire quickly and can continue to burn for minutes or a few hours if not put out immediately. <br><br>he temperature of his fire is between 260-300 degrees allowing him to be able to melt small amounts of plastics like CD's, cell phones, and children's toys into lumps of goo.<br><br>&nbsp;<br><br><strong>Fire Manipulation:</strong> Nathaniel can produce fire about the size of a tennis ball.

Especially, when it came to school and being a "proper" member of the Cartwright family and high class society. For Nathaniel, life was surrounded with nothing but tradition, rules, and discipline.<br><br>Still, Nathaniel and his mother was never one to let himself become as serious as his father/husband would have liked him to be, because when it came to his free spirited mother, she would steal her son away for picnics on the beach or for private trips on the plane to different places in Europe before his father came back from a business trip....even though, he probably already knew of their little excursions.<br><br>Even though his parents were very much in love with each other they definitely had different ways of raising their child. Still, no matter how different their parenting style was, Nathaniel was becoming quite the well rounded child, enjoying not only life but also learning what he needed to, to get through school and become something special that both his parents could be proud of.<br><br>~~~~~~<br><br>At the age of 15, Nathaniel was with his mother, shopping in downtown Manhattan when a man tried to rob them at gun point. Scared but also overcome with anger that some kind of street scum would try to hurt his mother, he stepped in front of his her, wanting nothing more then to protect the woman that had given birth to him. <br><br>With his mother scared and the man just giving a smirk at the boldness of the pathetic little punk trying to protect his "mommy", he went to aim and shoot at the boy for interfering when Nathaniel lifted his hands to protect himself, shooting balls of fire out of his hands as he became scared that him and his mother was going to die.<br><br>As shock over took the three people standing there, all for different reasons, the shooter began to scream as the fire began to crawl up his arm while his mother asked Nathaniel how he done what he did. Nathaniel, looking at his mom after glancing down at his hands, numbly, mumbled, "I don't know", before looking over at the man who was still on fire and quickly becoming engulfed with flames.<br><br>Not having meant to hurt the man, at least not in such a horrible man, he stepped forward to help the man, when the shooter screamed for him to stay away, drawing even more attention to the three of them and causing strangers to gather around.<br><br>Knowing that her son was no longer safe, his mother grabbed him by the arm, not wanting to touch his hands for fear of what he could do, and pulled him to their car a few blocks away and got out of downtown and went home to talk to his father and figure out what to do with her son's new.....ability.<br><br><strong>Hobbies:</strong> Music. Art. Reading. Collecting old books. Tai Chi. Spending time at the beach or hanging out beside the pool. Spending time with nature.<br><br><br><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong>&nbsp; Nathaniel is a determined and strong willed child who is always willing to help others when able. He is also&nbsp; very protective over family and friends, that he holds dear.<br><br><strong>EQUIPMENT:</strong> None<br><strong>CHARACTER O/O's:</strong> No sexual experience<br><strong>PLAYER O/O's:</strong> https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=43025.msg2080774#msg2080774<br><strong>NOTES:</strong>Nathaniel does not have elf like ears.

As a result, when she is trying to explain things or carry a conversation, she may jump and leap between topics - forgetting that most people can't follow such a disjointed train of thought.</li></ul><br><strong>HISTORY:</strong> Jessica grew up in the Bronx, New York, the sixth daughter of a deeply catholic spanish couple. Although she was always bright, her life would have been very different had not her public school maths teacher gone the extra mile for her and helped her apply to scholarship programs. Chosen to receive the Howard Stark Memorial Scholarship, Jess headed off to MIT. Having earned a doctorate in Mathematics and Number Theory by her twenty-second birthday, she went on to get a Masters degree in Applied Physics at CalTech.<br><br>From CalTech, Jessica was recruited by S.H.I.E.L.D..

Although he wished to remain at his home, his father's parents sought guardianship and after it was awarded, Roman moved to Ackley, Iowa. Resenting his grandparents for interfering in his life, Roman began getting into a lot of trouble. Fortunately, the town sheriff was a friend of his grandparents, which was how Roman discovered the town gym.<br><br>By his twenties, Roman was the largest lad in town and the fittest. He had won several weight-lifting competitions and even done some occasional modelling work alongside his part-time job as a personal trainer at his home-town gym. After a fitness magazine did an interview with him, Roman had a surprise visit from a government agent with a job offer.

He has over two decades of experience with garages, restorations, custom jobs, diagnosing faults and using machine shops to repair or build parts from scratch.</li></ul><strong>WEAKNESSES:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Recovering Alcoholic - Adam has struggled over the years with alcoholism. He has been clean for a couple of years now, but the temptation to crawl into the bottle is always there, waiting to pounce on him in a moment of weakness.</li></ul><br><strong>HISTORY:</strong> Adam was born and raised in Cedar City, Utah. His father worked at his grandfather's garage and, growing up around cars, it wasn't surprising that Adam followed suit and it wasn't much longer until he got a reputation for being able to fix whatever the customer brought through the door. In the mid nineties, the business began to suffer as a result of customers shifted to using manufacturer garages to repair their financed cars. By the turn of the century, Adam's was forced to seek work elsewhere when his father had to sell the garage. Due to a lack of formal education, Adam found it difficult to find work and sank into a depression that led him to crawl into a bottle for a long time.<br><br>After repairing the car of a stranded agent, Adam found himself working for S.H.I.E.L.D.. He's been with the organisation ever since, frustrating many of his co-workers and delighting others with his intuitive understanding of mechanical devices.

She can move about an environment unseen by others and act without being observed. She is able to hold herself invisible at first for up to ten minutes, but over time will be able to turn it on and off at will after a lot of training. It is important to note that nothing she holds will turn invisible other than the specialized suit provided to her from S.H.I.E.L.D.</li><li><span class="bbc_u">Force-Field:</span>&nbsp; &nbsp;Janie is able to create a shield, wall or an invisible field to protect herself and others. The fields are normally formed from energy drawn from the environment (ie: the natural energy that flows through living things. The more natural her environment the stronger the shield). At first she can only protect herself but with a LOT of practice and training she will be able to send out the field, attaching it to another person(s), protecting them as well as herself for as long as she keeps them in her sight.</li></ul><br><strong>WEAKNESSES:</strong> <br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>She is able to make her body invisible to the eye, but not her clothing (unless she is wearing the special suit provided by S.H.I.E.L.D.</li><li>She can be detected by body heat as well as scent (if she is wearing perfume, or her shampoo is fragrant) Also, if she was to go in a room with condensation (ie Sauna) she would form a ghost like image from the condensation clinging to her body.</li><li>Force-fields are not impenetrable and can usually be removed by an energy drain (ie: exhaustion or electrocution) or extreme weight/presssure (1000 lbs plus or something that could generate an impact that would be equivalent to that weight). She can only protect those she can see. At first she will be able to withstand small caliber bullets, though not at a continuous fire.&nbsp; For instance, she could block single shots from a .45 for several minutes, but if she was trying to block fully automatic machine gun fire her shields would fall within seconds. </li><li>Eventually Janie will be able to control the invisible force, like an elastic band, sending it out, protecting all those that it touches. (for example: if there were to be a fight, she would stand behind the warriors and project the shield out towards them.&nbsp; It wouldn't prevent them from moving or doing their thing, but it would keep a stray bullet from penetrating, at least for awhile.) However, the longer and wider she projects the thinner it will become. After all you can only stretch an elastic band so far before it snaps.</li><li>The longer she uses the force field the more exhausted she becomes. Her endurance will increase over time with practice.</li></ul><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>HISTORY:</strong> As a little girl, Janie grew up in what you might call farming country, spending hours and hours running through the fields of the near by farms and fields. She would ignore her mother's warnings and sneak onto an experimental farm to play with the animals that seemed to be so lonely. To get to the pens where they were kept, she would walk through tall grasses, her tiny form easily hidden within the tall grasses.<br><br>One afternoon Janie was caught by a crop sprayer (plane) and drenched from head to toe in a green sticky mist. The unknown substance seeped into her pores making her very sick. She was airlifted to the hospital in the big city where the doctors had no idea what was happening to her. Convinced she was dying, they broke the news to her heartbroken family. Her family gathered around her bed, being told she only had a matter of hours to live. <br><br>The heart monitor slowly came to a dead stop, causing her mother to wail with the pain of losing her only daughter. The screen flat-lined for a full ten minutes before a weak bleep began signalling her heart beat. She was considered to be a miracle child, coming back from death with no understanding how it was to be. The doctors checked her over and couldn't find a single thing wrong, and pronounced her fit to go home. It was shortly after the family was approached by a man they assumed was a doctor who gave them a card and instructed them to contact him should anything out of the ordinary occur. At the time the family had been so overjoyed that Janie had not passed away they simple thanked the man with a strong bearhug and promised to abide by his wishes without giving it a second thought.<br><br>It was the morning of her 16th birthday when Janie was laying in bed imagining what the day would bring when she found herself suddenly unable to remain in bed! Not bothering to pause long enough to look in a mirror, Janie ran down the stairs ready to be greeted by her family. Let the birthday wishes begin! Janie happily announced herself to her mother who was preparing Janie’s birthday pancakes when her mother turned and started screaming. The scream alerted Janie’s father who instantly burst through the back door to find a very worried Glenda Dough standing in the kitchen and staring at what looked like a floating nightdress. Slowly Janie’s body began to materialize, filling out the once seemingly empty space holding up the nightdress, causing her mother to scream and faint.&nbsp; <br><br>As one might imagine, the episode freaked the teenager out! (Not to mention her mother) Janie ran to the bathroom and screamed as she watched her reflection flash on and off as if she had been turning playing with the light switch. She didn’t know what was happening to her, nor did her parents. Scared, and unsure of what was happening, Frank Dough called the “doctor” who had given him a white business card all those years ago. Printed upon it was a phone number and nothing else. <br><br>Shortly after the phone call a helicopter touched down on the family’s farm offering an explanation that still boggled the minds of the Dough family. <br><br><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong> Sweet and playful, Janie enjoys meeting new people, not at all shy. Naive, she has been sheltered most of her life and therefore can be an easy target as she wears her innocence like a red flag to a bull. Her grandmother was a giant influence in her life, filling Janie with words of wisdom that she will often consult when she finds herself in a bind. <br><br>One of her joys in life it baking, a skill that her grandmother taught her. She spent hours in the kitchen alongside her granny baking all sorts of pastries, cakes, pies and piles and piles of cookies. Whenever she worries or is stressed she often turns to baking in order to calm her thoughts, allowing her to think clearly.&nbsp; <br></div><br><strong>EQUIPMENT:</strong> a custom made suit (made by S.H.I.E.L.D.) for Janie that she turns invisible along with Janie<br><strong>CHARACTER O/O's:</strong> Janie has had no sexual experiences. <br><strong>PLAYER O/O's:</strong> Loves o/o (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=96324.0)<br><strong>NOTES:</strong> She is an excellent baker.&nbsp; She will not be able to protect others with her shield or turn her invisibility on and off IC until permission is given by the GMs.

While he currently is not much stronger than the average person, with a deadlift capacity of 80kg, his strength will increase with training.</li><li> His nervous system now fires faster, increasing his reflexes and co-ordination. He can currently sprint 100 metres in 10 seconds, equivalent to 36 km/h, although this too will likely improve with training.</li><li>The solar radiation also improves his stamina, allowing him to maintain his top sprinting speed for approximately 30 seconds before becoming winded and again this will improve with training.</li><li>Doug’s body recovers from exhaustion and injury like an Olympic athlete in top condition. This regenerative capacity will increase in time, but probably require him to bathe directly in strong sunlight to activate.</li><li>Finally, Doug’s body has adapted to contain the solar radiation within him and now acts as a radioactive sponge, allowing him to draw energy from sunlight. It is unknown what effect intense exposure to other forms of radiation will have on his body.</li></ul></li></ul><ul class="bbc_list"><li><em>Flight</em> – By emitting the solar radiation from his body Doug is capable of unassisted flight, but has not yet mastered the ability to do more than hover a few inches above the ground or slow his descent when falling. With training, his flight speed and manoeuvrability will improve.</li></ul><ul class="bbc_list"><li><em>Solar Flare</em> – Doug can emit the solar radiation in a high-intensity, short-duration burst that functions much the same as the visual component of a flashbang grenade. The flare is emitted from the top of his head. With training, it is conceivable that he may be able to create this effect from different body-parts or increase the duration/intensity of the flare.</li></ul><ul class="bbc_list"><li><em>Solar Beam</em> – By releasing a focused stream of solar radiation, Doug can essentially fire powerful beams of concentrated sunlight from his hands. Currently, the beam isn’t as refined as it could be, lasting for only a few seconds over an effective range of a dozen metres and reaching a temperature of 40 degrees celsius with sufficient ultra-violet radiation to cause sunburn after a few seconds of exposure.&nbsp; The physical impact of the beam is currently enough to stagger the average person, or knock them over if already unbalanced. With time, Doug will be able to focus more energy into the beams more efficiently - increasing duration, range, temperature and impact.</li></ul><strong>WEAKNESSES:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li><em>Finite Power Level</em> – Doug’s body is still adapting to the changes wrought upon it and can only store so much energy at a time. If he is not careful, depleting his available power will result in saturation levels falling below the critical level required to sustain his enhanced physique, leaving him weaker, slower and more vulnerable to damage.</li></ul><ul class="bbc_list"><li><em>Sunlight Dependency</em> – The only source of natural solar energy is sunlight and without access to it, Doug has no way to recharge his body of its lost energy and must therefore be careful of using too much power during the night or while underground.</li></ul><ul class="bbc_list"><li><em>Radiation Poisoning</em> – For the most part, Doug’s body releases radiation in small, harmless doses. If however he loses control, either through emotional trauma or inebriation, he can flood the area around him in more dangerous levels of radiation that could lead to instances of him accidentally poisoning things in his vicinity.</li></ul><ul class="bbc_list"><li><em>Cold Environments</em> – While his new resting body temperature of 45 degrees Celsius gives Doug some resistance to warmer environments, exposure to the cold affects him twice as fast as the average person and slows his regenerative capabilities considerably.</li></ul><br><strong>HISTORY:</strong> Douglas Davenport was born and raised in Portsmouth, England. His father manufactured high-precision, bespoke electronics while his mother worked as a naval architect. Inheriting good genes, Doug grew up fit and smart and after completing school, enrolled with the Institute of Astronomy at the University of Cambridge.<br><br>During a summer internship at CERN following the end of his first year at University, there was an accident and by leaping into the containment breach, Douglas saved many lives but was exposed to extreme levels of solar radiation. Although expected to die within hours, it quickly became apparent to the medical experts that something odd was occurring within his body as the radiation damage began to regress and be healed. The full scope of Doug’s miraculous survival wouldn’t become apparent for another week, at which point the changes within him jumped from the microscopic level to the macroscopic.<br><br>S.H.I.E.L.D. was monitoring his case as being of potential interest, an assessment that was changed to immediate acquisition when Doug started hovering and shooting beams of sunlight from his hands. Agents arrived at the hospital and persuaded him to go with them, much to his parent’s disapproval. Doug’s arrival at the A.C.E. facility was delayed by twelve hours thanks to an in-flight failure forcing the transport down in the wilderness. By the time S.H.I.E.L.D. located them – naturally they had gone down in a dead zone – and went through more security checks, Doug and his fellow students arrived at A.C.E. just in time for the curfew on the night before the first day of school began.<br><br><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li><em>Assertive</em> – Doug is confident and self-assured, but not aggressively so.&nbsp; </li><li><em>Courageous</em> – Although he knows fear as much as anyone, Doug pushes past it to act.</li><li><em>Dependable</em> – If Doug says he will do something, he will do it.</li><li><em>Energetic</em> – He is often in motion, even if only tapping a finger or foot and attacks everything with zest.</li><li><em>Intelligent</em> – Before the accident, Doug was a top student in Astrophysics. He hasn’t lost his edge since.</li><li><em>Loyal</em> – Doug doesn’t believe in abandoning his friends.</li><li><em>Stubborn</em> – He finds it difficult to let go of an idea once it has gotten into his head.</li><li><em>Vain</em> – Doug finds it hard to be humble when he’s clearly made of awesome.</li></ul><br><strong>EQUIPMENT:</strong> Radiation badges, gold necklace<br><strong>CHARACTER O/O's:</strong> <br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>On’s: Being outdoors, exercising, flirting, intelligence, foreplay, confidence, heat, as player</li><li>Off’s: Laziness, darkness, mind games, arrogance, cold, as player</li></ul><strong>PLAYER O/O's:</strong> Located here (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=162358.0).<br><strong>NOTES:</strong>

The fire can be compared to when a candle is lit in terms of heat and what it affects (paper and other flammable materials, gasses and liquids will catch fire upon touch), and how it can be put out (dousing with water, exposing to gusts of wind or suffocating the fire will put it out). It will however re-ignite with ease (unless soaked). If she's in an environment that contains elements which put the fire out immedately (heavy rain, strong wind etc) the fire will ignite and then die, ignite and die, for the duration of the transformation. This does not apply when she's exposed to environment that hinders the entire transformation altogether (such as being submerged in ice water). The fire does not affect her skin, but it will affect whatever clothing she has and it touches. Note: Keeping her hair long, means she can braid it when it transforms and tuck the fire into the non-burning part, tie it and use that method to limit damage/avoid attention to some extent. It's not a perfect plan since the fire will still show a little, but it helps. <br><br></li><li><strong>Eyes:</strong> Change color, to the golden, amber, yellow, reds as in the picture, colors flickering and flowing subtly. No other effect, neither defensive nor offensive.<br><br></li><li><strong>Skin:</strong> Changes color and appearance, so that it looks like molten lava in yellows, oranges and dark, deep shadows. It will begin with her chest and spread over her shoulders and arms, then the rest of her body from there. The texture (upon touch) is like normal human skin, and the defensive effect is the same as normal human skin. It heats up gradually, starting at a considerably higher than normal (around 40°C/104F) and growing (eventually) to the point of being far too hot for lingering touch and fragile materials resting on it for more than a second or two will be damaged. (Silks, satins, nylons, wool, etc will be damaged. Denim, leather, heavy cotton, etc will be intact for several minutes of direct exposure and then gradually start to damage.) (around 130°C/270F, think ironing temperatures. ) It takes between 10-60 minutes for her skin to heat up to its maximum, depending on emotional intensity. (She has only reached this max temp once in her life so far -when she was born.) Most frequent maximum heat is around 60°C/140F.<br><br></li><li><strong>Hands:</strong> When almost fully (C) or fully transformed, her palms manifest <em>Igniting Touch</em>.<br><br></li><li><strong>Breath:</strong> When fully transformed, her breath manifests <em>Breath of Ash</em>.</li></ul></li><li><strong>Igniting touch.</strong> <br>When she transforms completely, her palms and fingers become so hot they set fire to any flammable material, liquid or gas. <br><ul class="bbc_list"><li><em>Fire-retardant substances</em> will not be affected (rock wool, brick, ect). </li><li><em>Durable substances</em> will take extended touch to catch fire (wood won't catch fire upon a single touch unless it's extremely dry, for example, but holding her hands on a wooden surface for long enough will set it on fire -the time it takes depending on how flammable the wood is). </li></ul>Comparable to holding a burning piece of wood to a surface. (Note: not comparable to a torch since a torch usually has ignition aiding substances on it which will transmit to what surface they touch and this is not the case for Glow.)&nbsp; <br></li><li><strong>Breath of Ash. </strong><br>When she transforms completely her breath contains ash similar in substance to that of a volcanic eruption. Causes respiratory discomfort, and eye and skin irritation if a person is directly exposed but no long term effects. The tiny particles contained in her breath (the ash) are visible, but small enough to go easily undetected if not in your face (har har ::) ). Her breath remains normal in terms of force of exhaling or inhaling, so she can not use this as a weapon against someone who stands more than a couple of feet away. Mostly a defensive ability. <br></li></ul><br><strong>WEAKNESSES: </strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Cold. </strong><br><br>Any temperature below freezing will hinder/slow down transformation <em>unless she is extremely emotional.</em> <br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Temperature of -30°C/-22F will <em>slow down</em> tranformation when she is extremely emotional.</li><li>Temperature of -40°C/-40F will <em>hinder</em> tranformation when she is extremely emotional.</li></ul>This applies to air and/or exposure to any substances, but when the exposure is localized it has localized effect. (Something extremely cold wrapped around her hands will not hinder transformation of other bodyparts.)<br><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>When partially transformed (A-C): Direct exposure to substances (solid, liquid, air) of -30°C/-22F will revert transformation on the part touched, including hands.<br></li><li>When fully transformed (D): Direct exposure to substances (solid, liquid, air) of -30°C/-22F will revert transformation on the part touched, excluding hands.<br></li><li>When fully transformed (D): Direct exposure to substances (solid, liquid, air) of -40°C/-40F will revert transformation on the part touched, including hands.</li></ul></li><li><strong>Post-transformation vulnerability.</strong> <br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>'Natural' reversion: When she reverts from transformation on her own her skin is very sensitive and she is exhausted. It takes about an hour to get back to normal after a full transformation. It takes anywhere from ten minutes to half an hour for her to recover from a partial transformation, depending on how extensive it was. (More transformation = longer recovery time.)<br><br></li><li>Forced reversion from a partial transformation: When she's shocked out of a partial transformation by external efforts her skin is very sensitive and she's exhausted. It takes anywhere from ten minutes to half an hour for her to recover, depending on how extensive the transformation was. (More transformation = longer recovery time.)<br><br></li><li>Forced reversion from a full transformation: When she's shocked out of a <em>full</em> transformation by external efforts it causes stress to her heart which takes about five minutes to recover. Her skin will be sensitive and she'll be exhausted. It takes about an hour to get back to normal. </li></ul><br>Note: After partial transformation A (only hair and eyes) she will<em> not </em>experience exhaustion, but will experience skin sensitivity. Her skin will be sensitive after she reverts to normal even if it did not transform.<br></li><li><strong>Emotions. </strong><br>All and any strong emotional outburst <em>will </em>trigger transformation, be it positive or negative. <br>Negative emotional outbursts (anger, fear, etc) will trigger a quicker transformation and more frequently a full one than positive ones (joy, lust, etc). <br>Mild negative emotional outbursts (annoyance, frustration, etc) will trigger partial transformation.<br></li></ul><br><strong>Notes:</strong> <br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>She has currently limited control of her powers and instinctively reverts to normal.</li><li>Reverting from transformed state to normal happens gradually from one stage to the next, variously quickly depending on how/why and the faster it happens the worse shape she's in afterwards.</li><li>Reverting from full transformation to a partial one will remove the manifestation of Breath of Ash.</li><li>She is unable to trigger her own transformation save for trying to rile up emotions, which isn't very effective for her as of yet.</li><li>Because of this, she's unable to defend against actions such as being submerged in ice water or encased in a block of ice, but will revert to normal and the cold will have the same effect on her then as any normal human.</li><li>Development ideas include control of her powers which would aid her defences in such situations (such as hold on to transformation by constantly triggering it to fend against the cold).</li><li>When fully transformed (and unless she's wearing fire-proof shoes or something) she will leave scorched footprints on surfaces where such applies when her body temperature considered.</li></ul><br><strong>HISTORY:</strong> <br>On a dark November night in a small town in North Dakota, a young girl gave birth to a child on the steps of the town health care clinic. The frosted ground melted under her body as the child pushed its way into the world, screaming and blazing. The mother lay helpless, long exhausted from twelve hours of unassisted labour and her only thought was to get to the doctor to save the child. Her body tore with the flaming heat of a life not ready to calm down, a tiny but furious person who stayed alive only because of her smouldering hot skin when the mother faded and died. The next morning, people found the terrifying sight of the young woman, alone on the steps. The child was nowhere to be seen.<br><br>She had been taken by a couple who witnessed the tragedy and decided to 'take care' of her. They were convinced she was a manifestation of sin, and that they were obliged to take her in, this message from the Lord. And these not-your-average- Jane and John Doe raised her, then by the name Red, with brutal discipline alone till the age of three when their abusive behaviour finally got attention and she was taken away. Little Red got placed with a middle aged woman named Melody, a lovely, caring woman with the remarkable ability to produce music from any biological object, but she didn't tell child protection services <em>that</em>. She had taken in foster kids for years, and this time she had special interest since the child was... Unique. She named the child Emily and gave her the last name Turner, her own name. Aunt Melody taught and trained Em to control her power as much as she could. She believed strongly that their powers are a gift which shall not be wasted or taken for granted. <br><br>Fifteen years later, Em has gained some minimal control of her power but the element of it makes it difficult and when emotional or upset she shifts without being able to stop it properly. Sometimes she manages to almost stop it and then only her hands or hair begins to shift. Melody has tried her best to keep up and offer guidance, but being contacted to have Em part of A.C.E is a small heaven. Em's powers are simply too flammable (har har) for her to be able to help anymore. What used to be heating of her skin and minor bursts of heat when angered, has now developed into her described powers. Em's mood has too much affect on the outbursts and the force of them is growing with every passing month. Both Melody and Em are hoping A.C.E can provide the means for Em to control herself...<br><br><br><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong> Kind, flirty, playful, reckless, doesn't let people in easily but loyal to a fault when she does.<br><br><br><strong>EQUIPMENT:</strong> Gloves, boots, fitted pants and jacket homemade out of/lined on the inside with fire-repellant fabrics. Passes as biker wear. Two S.H.I.E.L.D. provided uniforms. Rides a black and yellow Honda Twister bike.<br><strong>CHARACTER O/O's:</strong> Player's, but she has little experience with anything past some making out because... well... fire.<br><strong>PLAYER O/O's:</strong> Here (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=76346.0)
