| I wanted a chance to use this character from one of Mist's old rps. If anyone has questions, please let me know via PM. I will only be taking one partner and I will choose based on the CS that appeals to me the most. Please don't be upset if it is not you. Setting: Earth, 2120
Thirty years ago, a man stepped in front of a live feed for a national news program and lit himself on fire. This shocked the world, the fact that he stood there laughing and did not die left them speechless. The man repeatedly extinguished the flames at will, then re-lit them with no fuel or spark. After about two minutes of this, a woman appeared out of nowhere and grabbed his arm, then they both vanished.
This was the first time that the world learned of the existence of mutants; or as the world calls them, the abominations. Instantly they were met with fear and hatred. The world united in an effort to wipe them out. The mutants united in an attempt to defend themselves. A great and terrible battle ensued, millions died. By the end, seven years later, the humans had won. The abominations had been wiped out. As far as the humans knew, not a single one was left alive.
The armies disbanded and the world went back to a relative state of peace. The government had used the incident to gain more power for itself and now most of the world is run by the American government, which is now a dictatorship thinly disguised as a democracy.
Having any kind of power is absolutely illegal and punishable by death without a trial.
- My character:
Name: Naida Aelfdane
Age:17
Country of origin: United States
Appearance: Standing at about four feet seven inches she is short for her age. Her large emerald green eyes and pale skin contrast her dark red hair. Her small delicate frame is actually quite curvy compared to most girls her age, but it is not the body of a grown woman. She has the trademark petite figure of her family.
Her hair is long and as stated, dark in color; but not so dark that the red tint is not clearly visible. It reaches about the middle of her back and is usually tied in a loose ponytail, the bottom of the ponytail always curls upward dramatically. Her eyes, emerald green and brilliantly expressive, are perhaps her most attractive feature. Her lashes are long and dark and her bangs only add to the natural magnetism. She has full pink lips and a small dainty nose.
She has a scar on her right cheek just below the eye, it is shaped like a check mark.
Despite her attractiveness, Naida has the aura of a tomboy. She wears skorts (shorts that look like a skirt) more often than not but is not shy about getting dirty and spends only minimal time working on her appearance.
Equipment: Naida has a pair of high-tech finger-less leather gloves, and knee high black leather boots with straps and a small heel. Both pieces protect her entire body from damage cause by her own movement. Her hands and feet have the most protection, since the equipment on her hands and feet are all but indestructible.
She also has a pair of dark goggles which she usually keeps on her head above her hairline unless she is running.
Skills: Naida is a talented musician and dancer.
Most of Naida's offensive abilities are used for dishing out damage and they are all derived from the use of her speed.
Naida can run up to 350 mph if given time to build speed and has a record of 65 punches in one second. Anything over 150 mph is difficult for Naida to maintain for more than a few minutes.
Quick shot- Using her lighting fast speed, Naida has perfected a skill that allows her to deliver a series of dozens of punches in a small amount of time. Her strength is limited but the speed and fury of the assault make it very effective.
Confusion- Using her speed, she rushes around her opponent tapping shoulders and landing smacks and light punches. This works to confuse and frustrate her opponent.
Fury- If all else fails Naida will simply storm in and unleash everything she has as fast and ferociously as she can. While this is easily her most devastating attack, it is also the most taxing.
Naida can also use her speed creatively in many ways in and out of battle.
Weaknesses: Naida is very limited physically without her equipment. Even though her speed is her natural ability, the gloves, boots, and goggles are necessary to protect her from the intense friction caused by her movement. Without the equipment, she can still run fast but she has to do it in short bursts to avoid hurting herself.
History: Naida was something of an outcast among her family. Being small and already strange in appearance due to her unnaturally red hair did not help; but the real problem was her personality. She is simply fast in every way. She talks fast, and excessively. She moves fast everywhere she goes. She eats, drinks, showers, dances, and thinks fast. Basically, she was simply too much for most people. She did not believe her family hated her, but they never really accepted her either. When the war started, her father told her to come with him for a ride. Trusting him, she came without question. He dropped her off at an extermination camp and left without looking back. She escaped quickly since she was easily the fastest person alive. Even other speedsters could hardly track her movements. Since the war, little has changed. She is an expert at hiding her abilities, simply because she moves too fast for anyone to see her using them. She survived the war by running and hiding and she has been alone since the war started when she was eight. For most of the war, Naida managed to stay hidden. She had very few run ins with soldiers and was only forced to fight a handful of times. On one particular day that will be forever etched in her memory, she was forced to kill.
A squad of soldiers found her sleeping in an ally. One of them recognized her from a few days before when she had given him the slip. Being a sick and twisted person, he thought he would have a little fun with her before he killed her. He ordered his men to leave him alone with her. They laughed among themselves on the way out. She was awoken by a taser dart to her back. The electric shock prevented her from running, and before she knew what was happening, a big sweaty soldier was pressing his weight on her. The dart slowly lost its charge and she began to fight furiously. He was geared up so at first he managed to pin her down and he punched her several times. She became more and more panicked. She reached out and caught hold of a rock. She swung it so hard that it smashed through his helmet and into his skull. He died instantly and she had to struggle to get out from underneath him. Nightmares of that experience still haunt her, especially when she sees the scar he left on her face.
She is very lonely and becoming desperate for a friend.
We (your character and mine) are the last surviving mutants. Two years have passed since the end if the war. Only a very secret government agency known as the Company is aware of our existence and they are actively hunting us.
I would prefer a female partner (as in a female IC character) but I will consider anyone.
There is no magic, powers have to be a result of a mutation. Though they can be affected by high tech equipment, but only to a limited degree.
This can be romance or not. We can plan it in advance or let it happen IC. Either way sounds good to me.
I am not looking for any cliche characters. No tsunderes. I mean, they can be but it would have to take some sort of fresh approach on it.
Keep in mind that I will be posting every Tuesday, and it would be rare for me to post any other day. On the plus side, you always know when to expect a post.
All the usual rules apply.

| Can you clarify the dates for me. This is what I think the timeline is. 2220 first mutant. 2241 war started. 2248 war ended. 2250 present. Is that right? - My bio:
Name:Tobi Katalina “TK” Elliot
Age/gender: 19/female
Country of origin: USA
Appearance: Tobi is rather tall for a female, standing at 5’10”, her boots make her appear even taller. She has a slim build with toned but not bulging muscles including slightly visible abdominal muscles. Despite her intimidating stature there are lapses of time where she does appear cute or even vulnerable. This is probably due to her soft, somewhat high, and usually quiet voice and delicate facial features. She has a relatively boyish figure with a fairly modest bust and no hips to speak of. She also has a manish manner of walk with longer strides and no hip sway. Unless trying to hide her footsteps tend to be loud and clunky. Part of this noise is caused by her choice of footwear, large black combat boots. On the subject of apparel she wears long green camouflage pants and a simple white wife-beater. She wears black finger less gloves on her hands, an eye patch on her left eye, and a silver crucifix and silver locket around her neck on two separate chains. She also wears a pair of dark green noise cancelling earphones, over her ears during combat, and around the back of her neck otherwise. The words “gone but not forgotten,” are carved into the back of her locket. she has short naturally curly hair that can’t decide if it is supposed to be brown or blonde blending the two colors to no end favoring one ever so slightly over the other depending on the season. Her hair is kept in tight spirals that reach down a little passed her jawline and parted down te middle. It is several inches longer when straightened or drenched. Like her hair her eyes have a hard time deciding what color to be. They are hazel with rings of blue and green. The green starts in the center and fades to blue as you move further from the pupil. The percentage of each color seems to change with the lighting. The travesties of war have washed most of the expression out of her eyes. Her skin has a slight brown tone, and is the only visible sign of her diluted Hispanic Heritage. First Corinthians 13:12 is tattooed on the back of her left shoulder in Gothic lettering.
Equipment: She carries a Colt M4 semi automatic carbine, a Barrett M95 bolt action sniper rifle, a SMith & Wesson .44 Magnum, and a tactical/survival bowie knife. The rifles are slung around the shoulders, the magnum is holstered by her right thigh, and the knife is holstered horizontally behind her back at the hip. He carries a fragmentation grande and two smoke grenades on her belt. She also carries a knapsack with various odds and ends including an old laptop and digital video recorder, a sleeping bag, an emergency blanket, a lighter, two flares, emergency rations, a small first aid kit, and a Swiss army knife. She carries a small flash drive but keeps it safe in her pocket.
Skills:
Seasoned Vet: Despite her young age Tobi is an experienced soldier having served in the human mutant war since her early teens. She has training equivalent to if not more comprehensive than the US Marine’s basic training including first aid, survival, weapons training, and hand to hand. She is especially skilled with long range sniping, and close quarters combat, being a master in Krav Maga. Her time in the field has also left her as a rather light sleeper.
Grease Monkey: She is a skilled repairman, especially when it comes to vehicles. If it runs on wheels and it can be fixed, Tobi can fix it, eventually.
Code Monkey: She is fairly good with computers. Her true talent with them lies primarily in encrypting data and cracking security systems. For her “hacking” usually entails watching someone while they are unaware to steal their password.
Sacrebleu: She is talented in Parkour, the French martial art of running away.
Thief: to her shame she has acquired some skill in breaking locks and picking pockets.
Adrenaline Junkie: being in way more life and death situations than any girl her age should have been she has become adept at crisis management. She does not suffer from the negative side effects of adrenaline such as impaired judgement nearly as much as most people do.
Eye see what you did there: Thanks to her mutation Tobi is able to dematerialize her eye and reconstruct it anywhere in space up to a mile (the range is negotiable). When separate from her body the eye is able to rotate in any direction as it is not limited by human musculature or the human skull. She also has incredibly enhanced eyesight as a secondary mutation to maximize the power of this ability. This ability also allows her to regenerate her eye over the course of a day if it is destroyed. She can use both eyes but prefers to keep her right in her head where it belongs.
Weaknesses: The ability of her mutation is limited by her brain capacity. She is unable to look through the eye in her skull and her displaced eye at the same time. Using her eye for a 3rd person view requires a great deal of focus as it needs to controlled more consciously than a normal eye and it lacks all the visual cues an eye normally has to make automatic adjustments. This limits her hand eye coordination while using her ability, she can run but is not as agile as she would be normally. She is unable to aim her weapons when using her eye externally. Her depth perception is impaired when using her ability or wearing her eye patch. She is not as skilled in short to medium ranged firefights as she is with extremely close and extremely long range.Sometimes her morals get her into trouble.
History: Tobi is short for Tobias, which is short for Dad wanted a boy. Despite her father’s initial disappointment both of TK’s parents were extraordinarily loving. Her family was basically ‘60s sitcom perfect She grew up a devout Catholic, did well in school, played sports, and had lots of friends.
Then her whole life got turned upside down (cliche I know, bite me) when her parents discovered that she was a mutant abomination. It happened just days after her ninth birthday, shortly before the start of the war. The day is burned into her memory. Her once loving parents chased her off by throwing sticks, stones, and obscenities at her. That was the first of many times her faith was shaken, but ultimately strengthened.
Despite her sheltered upbringing Tobi was able to get by with determination, good looks, and resourcefulness. It helped that her power was both useful and relatively easy to conceal. She was able to hitchhike from town to town, passing for a normal human orphan most of the time, and fleeing quickly when the ruse failed. This existence felt empty. It was wrong to have to hide in fear. As time passed she felt that she could no longer bear allowing such travesties to continue unopposed. Seeking a higher calling she joined the resistance, a group of mutant freedom fighters and civil activists. During this time she learned whatever people were willing to teach her and formed a familial with her little group. She was the youngest and the only girl, and most treated her like their precious baby sister, which was a nice change as she had been an only child. Her primary responsibilities at the start were posting messages through social media, and acting as a scout for the group. She gradually took more complex and combat related roles as she got older. As the plot demands all of her friends met an untimely demise during the war. Morally defeated TK has given up her crusade for the time being. She wanders aimlessly and spends a great deal of time repenting for her sins, and questioning the purpose of all things. After the war she has found it hard to get close to others, especially since she is a wanted woman.

| I am realizing I completely botched that timeline. Soooo...2120 was meant to be the present day. So 2090, first mutant. The war was in full swing by 2101. It ended with the mutant's defeat in 2118 and two years later, the rp starts. Sound good? | |

| Drummeh! Great bio and, as you said in the pm, the winner by default. I don't think you really need to be so restrictive with her ability. It isn't combat related and her vision is still limited by physical barriers and stuff. Its your choice but you can increase the range and tone down the weaknesses if you want to. Either way it is a cool idea, very unique.
I may do a starting post today but I will wait and see if you get on first. | |

| OK Drumdrum.
And no Rip,it wasn't really a competition. I just say stuff sometimes. Half the time I don't even know what the hell I am taking about.
Seriously though if you want to submit a character, I will definitely consider mako two of these. | |

| Don't lie to spare his feelings. There was a contest and I won.
I'll remove all her eye related weaknesses and give them instant regeneration (which makes more sense considering she can atomize them at will) to make you happy. I'd also like to point out, obstructions aren't that big of a deal to her vision, since she can just move the eye wherever is convenient, even if that means putting it inside a locked and air sealed room. | |

| Name: Evelyn Miller Age/gender: 23/Female Country of origin: Ireland Appearance: Evelyn stands at about 5' 4", and is lighter than most girls her age, being slim, but well muscled. She is modestly curved, but is able to make what curves she posses work for her in the best of ways, without appearing immodest in the slightest. She refuses outright to wear makeup, and it was often a point of tension between her and her family. Her skin seems to have a perpetual tan, a darker brown than the lighter parts of her body that she leaves covered. Her eyes are a dark green, flecked with spots of gold, and the alight everytime she smiles or laughs. Her hair is a light auburn, red with a few natural tinges of brown. She styles it in many different ways, though currently, it's cut short in a pixie like manner. She has a cute little button nose, and her lips are pale, and just a shy on the thin side. The odd freckle dots her face here and there, but her skin is mostly clear. A diamond shines in her nose, and both her ears posses a multitude of piercings, as well as one on her belly button. Tattooed on her back is the image of a rose, with a spiderweb of cracks covering most of the image without obscuring it beyond recognition. Evelyn's wardrobe consists mostly of skirts and jeans, with a few tops to match. Her favorite outfit is a pair of form fitting blue jeans and a black tank top. She only owns one pair of shoes; A pair of red converse tennis shoes, with cracks carefully drawn on the toes. Equipment: Evelyn carries an ancient katana, forged in Feudal Japan during the high point of the samurai occupation. She slings it across her back, and wears the hilt just over her right shoulder. On her hip she carries a measly .38 Special revolver, for long range combat. She wears a pair of stylish framed glasses on her eyes, not only because she has bad eyesight (And they're not bad looking), but also because they offer an integrated HUD, multiple types of visions, including night and thermal modes, and can also tap into the world wide web, allowing her to pull up any topic she wishes, at almost any time. She carries a satchel across her chest that contains a variety of survival tools. Skills:Main Power: Kinetic Energy Manipulation Evelyn is extremely adept at manipulating the kinetic energy in someone's body and her own. She can perform most of the feats on this list, except for teleportation, and the supernova. Secondary Power Atomic Vision Evelyn is able to perceive tension points and faults in organic and inorganic objects, though she has a much harder time manipulating organic beings. The most she is able to do with organics is causing or easing pain by way of pressure points and old wounds. The things she can do with inorganic objects are much more limitless, ranging from complete destruction to reinforcing something to the point of near-invulnerability. First aid: Evelyn has a comprehensive knowledge of the human body, and has studied medicine since a young age. Her Atomic sight mutant power allows her to be even more effective as a doctor, allowing her to see just about every ouch and hurt on a body. Multilingual: Evelyn is fluent in english, irish, french, and speaks a smattering of spanish. Swordplay: Evelyn is an expert practitioner of the ancient japanese art of swordplay, kenjutsu, and is especially gifted at the art of iaido, or the act of drawing the blade, striking, flicking the blood from the blade, and re-sheathing the blade, all in the same motion. Roaring thunder: Evelyn strikes with her blade, increasing the kinetic energy behind her strike using her mutant powers. This allows her to inflict much more damage than she would normally be able to, and can devastate an opponent not strong enough or equipped to counter such an attack. Shattered Glass: Using her atomic vision, Evelyn draws her blade quickly, strikes a weak point on her opponents body, and sheathes her sword all in one motion, leaving the body to bleed out far after she has put away her blade. Weaknesses: She's a little spoiled, and her wit gets her in trouble a lot. If her vision is obscured or prevented, one of her powers is nullified completely. Though she can manipulate and shield herself from Kinetic energy, other types of energy, like electricity and heat, are effective on her. History: Evelyn was the test tube grown daughter of a mutant geneticist during the war. The other half of her genes was given by a human, who led a multi million dollar corporate conglomerate. She was brought to normal, baby age maturity just before the war started, and on her third birthday, the first conflicts broke out. Her mother was quickly recruited for the war effort, and she was placed in the care of her father, who elected to hide her. It is here that her memory begins to get fuzzy. She can only recall cold, long hours of training using her sword, and the comforting feeling of fur against her skin. Her amnesia will surely pass with time, but for now, she only knows her early years, and the very recent history.

Just now saw this post. This totally messes up the dates my characters back story. She was chased out of her home before the war. That would make her....27 now. The first post says the war was 7 years. | |

| Love her, Rip. Give me some time to make a character that matches her better than Naida. I don't think they would work well but I have a new idea I want to try anyways. | |

| Rip! I decided to make her a very offensive character like yours. I figure they are both kind of on a mission and they can meet and work together. I assume Evelyn is on a mission to get answers about her lost memories... maybe that isnt true but either way. Here she is and I will start an IC soon. - Funn:
Name: Funn
Age/gender: 20/f
Appearance: Funn is 5' 2" and has a very athletic body. Her body is firm and her muscles show, even though they are not bulky. Her hair is mostly black but she has two strands in the front that are much longer than the rest and dyed bright red. She keeps her hair tied back in a tight pony tail, except the two red strands. Her eyes are dark and beautiful. Her face is a bit round which makes her look a little younger than she actually is. She has dark olive skin that is always clear. Her usual choice in clothing is loose fitting sweat pants, usually dark colors like black or blue, and a tight tank top. She wears them, despite being a little odd, because they offer a lot of mobility and comfort in a fight. In the winter she usually wears the same thing, except with a light jacket. No matter how cold it gets, she will not wear anything heavier than that one light jacket.
Powers/weakness: Funn is a physical powerhouse. She is at least three times as strong as most grown men. She can run up to 45 mph. Her skin and bones are strong enough to almost stop a point blank shot from a 9mm. She can go several days without sleep and not get too tired to function, or run for dozens of miles without getting fatigued.
Her biggest weakness is a condition that she has called polymorphic light eruption. Basically, she is allergic to the sun. It is not very severe, but she will break out in irritating rashes and, with prolonged exposure, she could get pretty sick. Because of this she has been nocturnal pretty much her whole life. Her eyes are particularly weak to light. Even a dim light can become uncomfortable for her if it is directly in her face.
Abilities/Skills: Funn is very athletic and highly trained in hand to hand combat. She is adept at Muay thai, kickboxing, and boxing. She has not lived long enough to master any of these styles but she practices every day and she has great natural talent in fighting.
She also loves to draw and sing, even though she is not particularly good at singing. She is not bad, just not really good either. She is a skilled artist though.
History: Funn was born with a twin sister. She was the younger of the two. Sadly, they were separated at birth and, while she is aware of her sister's existence, they have never met. She does not know her name or anything about her. She does not even know if she is alive or not. She has always assumed that her sister was a mutant like her, meaning she is probably dead.
Funn fought in the war alongside the other mutants. She was severely injured in a particularly intense battle and spent almost three months in an underground bunker being nursed back to health. During that time she met and fell in love with a man named Nick. He had lost a leg in a battle. Luckily his mutation allowed him to regrow lost appendages, but it took time. During their recovery, they talked of leaving the war and hiding out in the country together. Funn took it to heart and really planned on going through with it. Nick, on the other hand, was only dreaming and never really meant a word of it. As soon as he was back on his feet, he went back to the front lines. Before long he was killed in action. A few months later, the war was over and as far as Funn knew, she was the only one left.
Funn is now a very angry and jaded person. She wanders the streets of New York and is careful to never get close to anyone. She no longer trusts people. Her only real goal in life is to take down the very organization that hunts her.
