Year Two (Sign-Up)

Hatred of Mutants is on the rise. The victory of Henry Philips and his "No More Mutants" campaign beginning to take off with the increase of Mutant Buster units in the country and public opinion of Mutants have comments ranging from their immediate imprisonment to death in the name of keeping the dominate species from being overwhelmed and wiped out.

Others believe Mutants have as much rights as humans do and shouldn't be viewed as the end of all things to come.

Rumors of costumed vigilantes, some Mutant, some human have begun to spread throughout parts of the country, but most are rooted and born in Manderlay. The most prominant being a man with no face in a blue trench coat and fedora.

Sign-Up:

Name: Pretty self-explanatory
Age: Also pretty self-explanatory. If your character's age is usually a teenager or young adult, it'd be reccomended to have them a year or two younger than usual. Aside from liberal usage of timeskips for the first few parts, as the story said with people's powers developing as they aged (like how X-Men used the awakening powers as a euphemisim for puberty which is what I'm going for/ripping off). But if the character is like in their twenties, it's not as important.

Returning characters are a year older.
Appearance: Self-explanatory.
Powers: Whatever power(s) the character has. Whether they're Mutant powers or they originate from gadgetry. If the character uses gadgets, feel free to list those here.

Returning characters may have dormant powers which have manifested during the year.
Bio: Self-explanatory.

For returning characters, what they did over the summer and any changes in their lives.
Notes: Anything else that doesn't really fit into other catagories.

Name: Thiera Psyche
Age: 16
Appearance: Long, blond hair, blue eyes, wears a white cloak.
Powers: Plantaekinesis: Can freely manipulate plants. Making them grow, changing their properties, & so forth. All she needs is a root or seed to make her powers work. That said, their effectiveness is limited by how difficult it is for the plant she's making to survive in the environment.

Her powers have not changed, other than the fact that they are stronger now, not that anyone would notice. The major change is that she now carries around a few seeds. Mostly grass seeds, sewn into the hams of her pockets for easy access. But there isn't much to a grass seed, so she also carries around a handful of acorns, just in case she needs something with a bit more punch.
Bio: Thiera's father unfortunately died in the explosion at the chemical factory. Her mother, Binah, did pharmaceutical research, and so she often worked with the chemicals from the factory. To that end, she's begun research on the Purple Rain. She wants a pure sample of the original substance, but laments that it's all probably long been washed away.

Binah began her research when even her most difficult plants began being revitalized to absurd levels. She quickly figured out that this only happened whenever Thiera, 11 at the time, took care of them, and so reasoned that she must be a Mutant. They confirmed this, & developed control of her ability. Binah has never disliked mutants, but worries that there might be negative side-effects they haven't seen yet, & that the Mutant Busters might eventually come after her daughter. Thiera is not open to the general public, for obvious reasons.

Over the summer, Thiera hung out with Taiyo, Aroma, & sometimes Venezuela. She also discussed how to use her powers for the betterment of society with her mother, & the pair reluctantly concluded that her only real option was to become one of the costumed heroes. To that end, she began working on alternate costume designs, which she could quickly throw on using her powers. Come fall, Thiera enrolled in college, with Aroma as her roommate, & began accelerating her plans, working on alibis & specific seeds to pre-prepare. She is taking primarily biology courses, as they are a building block to any medical degree.
Notes: Making Thiera go through puberty oughta be...interesting.

Name: Venezuela Guvera
Age: 17
Appearance: Wears a trendy little miniskirt & halter top made of wolf fur, which exposes her highly toned abs, arms, & legs, Venezuela is an ambiguously brown girl with yellow irises & long, black hair, which she wears in various styles. At Age 16, she wears it in a braid. Her powers make shoes & gloves uncomfortable for her, so she wears flip flops if she absolutely must.
Powers: Enhanced Senses: Sight, smell, etc. stronger than normal.
Steel Bones: Not literally, but her bones and nails act like super-hard steel. As a side-effect of this, she also has mild super strength. Her teeth & nails are very sharp.
Concussive Roar: Release a destructive wave of sound by roaring. It can even demolish solid stone structures.
After-Images: Can produce after-images as she moves, to confuse enemies.
Bio: Venezuela developed her mutant powers just last year, & with them, an affinity for animalistic things & behaviors. It was difficult to hide, & her parents inevitably found out & threw her out on the street. She then got a job for animal control, in order to pay for an apartment. She currently lives in financial insecurity, with poor prospects for moving up in the world, & in constant fear of being caught by the Mutant Busters.

Over the summer, she occasionally hung out with Taiyo, Thiera, & Aroma, but her busy schedule made it difficult. However, she managed to secure all of their contact information.
Notes: Tends to sleep curled up in a ball.

Name: Aroma Zinginzer
Age/Appearance: Aroma is 18, but is often mistaken for being much younger due to her height, which she is sensitive about. She has green eyes & short, wavy red hair. She wears a modest white dress, opera gloves, & heeled boots. In her hair, she wears a clip that consists of 2 large circles with short protrusions, looking slightly like a cartoon bug's face.
Powers: Hardening (Undiscovered): Aroma takes a posture like a tree, turns green, & her skin hardens to become pretty much indestructible in response to extreme danger. The downside is that it's impossible for her to move until it wears off.
Silk: Produces silk from spinnerets hidden in her wrists. Though Aroma herself has no super strength, the silk is stronger than steel cables, & light weight. She can also cover it with a residue that speeds up the body's natural healing abilities, feel tiny vibrations through it, & secrete the silk in many different patterns.
Wings (Dormant): Can sprout wings with which to fly.
Sonar (Dormant): Can echolocate & communicate messages to specific targets across large distances.

Her dormant powers will not activate until her existing ones have been pushed to their limits.
Bio: Aroma discovered that she was a Mutant the same day she discovered she was a lesbian when, entranced by a cute girl she knew, she accidentally silked all over her. It was so traumatic that they never spoke of it again, & Aroma retreated into something of a shell. Fortunately, her power turned out to be not too control, allowing her to keep being a Mutant a secret. She recently convinced her parents to let her take out a loan to get an apartment, under the pretense that she wanted to get closer to the college she would eventually go to, but in reality, she wanted to get out of the house & gain independence so she didn't have to worry as much about being found out as a Mutant.

Over the summer, she hung out with Taiyo, Thiera, & sometimes Ven. She enrolled in college, with Thiera as her roommate, & with similar plans.
Notes: Like Spider-Man, only with healing abilities instead of super strength. She's also a vegetarian.


Name: Luna Guado
Age: 20
Appearance: Luna has brown hair that extends slightly past her shoulders. It's arguable whether it's wavy or scraggly. Her fingers are a little longer than your average woman's. She has white skin, & blue eyes.

Her civilian attire includes a brown miniskirt & a green sleeveless shirt with leaf (not cameo) patterns on it. When she goes out superheroing, she sports a blue jumpsuit with concealed kevlar pads protecting her arms, & legs, & a non-concealed bulletproof vest. She also wears a hood connected to a metal anguished drama mask, to conceal her identity.
Powers: A retractable spear, which she has nicknamed the Glowstick of Destiny, resembling a modern variation of a naginata. The spear is capable of being charged with various levels of non-lethal electricity, either to the "blade," which is actually very dulled, the outer-casing, or both. At sufficient levels, it will even jump to a nearby target within a few meters, as though she could throw thunderbolts. Buttons on the central component allow her to control these functions, & her costume, including the mask, is insulated enough to protect her from all of these functions. Because of its retractable nature, the spear can be anywhere from a full 7 feet, including the blade, to a foot long stick for convenient storage.
Bio: Luna graduated college a few years back, with an engineering degree. She is currently working as an electrician. Last year, her parents were killed in a Tyranno Boys hit. She didn't know whether she wanted justice or revenge, but she wanted something. Her costume was easy enough to afford & design, but to put her on-par with some of the superpowered freaks out there, she would need a strong weapon, & something that wouldn't draw the ire of the real police too much. To that end, she designed the basics for her electrified spear, took her parents' inheritance & a few loans, & went off to look for someone called "The Gadgeteer," who built the device for her & added some special touches of her own. She's only recently started hero-ing, & thus far has stuck to patrols, trying to figure out the basic layout of the Tyranno Boys' "organization."
Notes: She'll get her own last name some day.

Name: Dalia Lao.
Age: 18
Appearance: Dalia is a short woman with a very modestly endowed, slender body. She has bright emerald eyes and a very light brown bob with the bangs cut to eyebrow length, and the rest just about jaw length. She most often wears black jeans, a short-sleeved, white button-up shirt and a long-sleeved black jacket. She always wears a silver watch.

Powers:

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

Dalia's power has remained about the same as usual, though she is now able to bring two Homunculi into the real world at once. In a world of growing crime and Mutant hate, Dalia has become more conscious of her powers and has begun to consider putting them to use, admittedly more for her own benefit than the general public. She has now finished school and has moved on to college to take a general psychology course.

Name: Jin Zhou.
Age: 17
Appearance: Jin stands at about 5'7" with emerald green eyes, cropped blonde hair and heavily tanned skin. She likes to wear baggy camoflauged pants and a tank top which leaves little of her voluptuous body to the imagination.
Powers:
Enhanced Speed- Jin has extremely powerful legs, and is able to run at speeds considered incredible for a human as well as jumping extremely high- on a good day she could jump over a two story house and run 100 meters in 3 seconds. Her legs are useful for more than just athletics, and allow her to deliver immensely powerful kicks.
Telepathy- Jin's thoughts can enter those of anybody she chooses, and to an unsuspecting person they may seem exactly like their own thoughts.

Jin spent her break exercising, sleeping, talking to Eve and trying to hone her telepathic skills. She has had conversations with her mother just by thinking, and has made several attempts to have her father do as she wishes without him knowing. She has succeeded more than once. During the break, which she spent largely outdoors, she has witnessed several crimes. One of these occurred on her street, outside of her home. This was impossible to ignore. She has been considering going into some form of crime-fighting, and has discussed it a little with her parents. Her mother is willing to support her in whatever she does, however her father continues to discourage the use of her powers.

Astarte's accepted.

Name: Eve Tantus
Age: 15
Appearance:

Spoiler:

Powers: Time Manipulation
Eve can accelerate, slow, stop, rewind, and loop time around objects or areas. Using her ability to rewind time, she has the ability to "fix" objects, and can accelerate time around an something to eventually reduce it to dust. Finally, Eve can sense disturbances in the space-time continuum,and sometimes has Precognitive flashes that will make her feel very faint. The duration her ability lasts depends on both her focus and her control over her powers, which at the moment isn't all that much.

Bio: Eve was born to a pair of British Scientists who study mutants in Manderlay, and lived ether there or in London for most of her life.
Eve's childhood was pretty good, barring a bit of a troubled middle school experience due to being very opinionated about issues, including not discriminating against mutants. This was partly because there were many cases of mutant abilities in her family. However, nothing remotely interesting happened until she was 13.

Eve had been working on a timed test in one of her classes when she started to stress about the remaining time. She was unable to see the clock, and started to be unable to focus on what she was trying to do. However, Eve managed to get re-focused and continue working on the test. When she finished, Eve decided that she seemed to have enough time to go over her answers before turning it in, and proceeded to do just that. After she finished checking her answers and was taking her test up to the teacher, Eve turned to face the clock and was startled to see that she still had a little under half the allotted time left. This freaked out both Eve and her teacher, who hadn't expected anyone to be done so soon. While Eve wondered what had happened, she soon forgot it until the same thing happened while Eve was studying. Frightened, Eve informed her parents, who encouraged her to practice controlling her powers, so she doesn't have to be taken away by the Mutant Busters.

Over the summer, Eve talked and hung around with Jin, who she considers a good friend. She also gained a bit more control over her abilities, though practice when she had nothing else to do. If the mutant hate continues to rise, Eve's parents are considering sending to her live with her grandparents in England. She hasn't even considered becoming a costumed hero, since she's still developing her powers and just generally wouldn't be good at that kind of stuff.

Notes: While Eve being a mutant isn't open to the public, it's rumored that she is one. Also loves Astronomy, and often carries around a small telescope.

New Character:

Name: Cameron Sorenson

Age: 16

Appearance: Cameron's quite short, only around 5'2, so he's really hoping to grow this year, and very slender. He has pitch black hair and dark eyes, along with skin that would be pretty pale
if Cameron hadn't fallen asleep out side more than once during the summer. As for clothes, he normally wears button up shirts with t-shirts underneath,and jeans, however he has cut holes in some of his t-shirts so he doesn't have to fly shirtless.

Powers: Flight: Cameron's mutant abilities mainly manifests as a set of large, ash gray feathered wings with a wing span of about ten feet. While these can be folded when not in use,
when walking around in public, Cameron normally wears a thick coat as to not totally stick out. Also, Cameron's wings are also quite weak, as he has not really had the space to practice flying.
Light Manipulation: (Dormant) Cameron's dominant ability is to control light, mostly in the form of hand blasts which is his main offensive attack. Other than that, Cameron's wings gain a faint glow when using his powers.

Bio: Cameron's live in Manderlay his entire life with his sister Kylie and their parents. Life was good,and nothing of much interest happened until Cameron's freshman year.
He came down with pneumonia and ended up missing around 3 weeks of school, During this time, Cameron began to have intense back pain, which he thought was from camping
on the couch for more than a week. After a stretch of about 3 days, Cameron awoke to find his wings, along with a freaked out Kylie. Upon convincing his parents
not to call the police, they had a family talk about what to do, and eventually decided that Cameron would continue school though independent study, which is how he finished
out the year. Now, his future is the main thing on his mind.

Notes: Cameron lives on the same street as Eve, and his little sister's in the 8th grade.

All accepted. I'll get my shit up and start this bitch at not 1:30 AM. Should be enough time to see if anyone wants to make a new character or someone else cares to join.

Also does Luna wear gloves? I don't know if she does a lot of sneaking around and what not, but it might be a good idea to not leave fingerprints. Also protect her hands from electrical discharge.

I said all of her costume was insulated, so I guess she must. Also, I'm leaving shortly.

Name: Azuma Huraka
Age: 18
Appearance: Stands six foot one inch, short brown hair, and green eyes. Wears a necklace with a strange blue rock for a charm, dark blue long sleeved shirt over a black short sleeved shirt, dark blue jeans with a plain black leather belt, black running shoes.
Powers: Cryokinises: The ability to control moisture and shape it into any object he desires. The only limitation being his imagination and the ambient air temperature which determines how long a construct will stay icy.
Teleportation: Can teleport himself, the clothes he is wearing and an undetermined amount of mass over varying distances. The longer the distance the more exhausting the act is.
Bio: When he was fourteen, Azuma's parents were killed by members of the Tyranno Boys leaving him in the care of his older brother Kentaro. Around that time his Cryokinetic powers began to awaken and his teleportation powers awoke at sixteen though he has less control over that than he does his cryokinesis.

To this day, the only other person who knows of his powers is another Mutant, Mimiru. He's unsure of how to break the news to his brother and girlfriend who has been as much of a mother to him as Kentaro has been a father give the reports that the Tyranno Boys are led by a Mutant.

As a Mutant, he's been feeling unsure of what to do concerning his powers. Should he avenge his parents and go about trying to ensure that no one else has to lose their family or does he hide them to avoid being apprehended by the Mutant Busters and sent elsewhere.

Over the summer, he hung out with Mimiru, the two debating what to do regarding their status as Mutants. Neither reaching an actual conclusion. Near the end of summer he got a job at a book store.
Notes: What if Batman had superpowers and no money?

Name: Mimiru Tugai
Age: 17
Appearance: Stands at five foot five inches, shoulder length brunette haor kept in a ponytail, and green eyes. Wears a necklace sporting a padlock on a barbed wire chain, sleeveless black shirt with a jolly roger in the center, black jeans with a black and silver pyramid stud belt, white wool fingerless gloves, and black running shoes.
Powers: Superhuman Strength: Is capable of lifting up to a ton without further augmentation.
Healing Factor: Can regenerate from many wounds in less time than a regular person even being able to regenerate limbs although that's over a period of time. The more severe the wound, the longer it takes the heal unless fatal. This also grants innate imminity to most drugs and intoxicants unless administered in high doses as well as immunity to most diseases. As well as slows aging.
Bio: Like she is the only one to know Azuma's a Mutant the same goes for him being the only one to know she's a Mutant.

Her father died in the chemical plant explosion and her mother was hardly around due to working out of town, Mimiru lives with her grandmother in the same apartment building as Azuma.

At age twelve she discovered her healing ability when after cutting herself the wound healed nearly instantly with no mark left behind. At age fifteen she discovered her superhuman strength while in the school gym after hours and noticing no resistance when lifting weights decided to experiment with different amounts of weight.

During the summer, she hung around with Azuma neither reaching a comclusion on it though. Since returning to school, she and Taiyo becoming friends as the people they associated with in school are no longer there.
Notes: Not as black as Luke Cage.

Name: Taiyo Shikasu
Age: 15
Appearance: Stands at five feet six inches, long brown hair tied in a ponytail, brown eyes, and a simple black collar with a silver bell around her neck. Wears a white navel exposing tank top with a heart in the center, blue denim shorts, pink flip flops.
Powers: Superhumanely Acute Sense: Her sense of sight, smell, and hearing are like that of a cats.
Phasing/Intangibility: Taiyo can phase through objects or allow objects to phase through her. With practice she can phase through objects with others without harming them.
Hydrokinesis: Essentially the same as Azuma's Cryokinetic powers but for water rather than ice.
Elongated Fingernails: Can mame her fingernails extend and retract at will. As they extend, they become stronger. Full length is three inches.
Bio: At age ten, Taiyo's enhanced sense awoke when she was aware of her cat Kitters being in the hallway on his way to her room which is normally something she's not aware of until he's already there. She tried telling her parents, but they dismissed it as the cat is always in her room.

At the age of twelve, her hydrokinetic powers awoke one night while brushing her teeth and the water coming from the tap curved midstream and on to the floor. Something she chose to keep to herself.

At age thirteen, scratching an itch resulted in a mild cut when her fingernails became claw-like. Embarrassing enough to keep to herself.

At age fourteen, the last of her power awakened when she fell through her front door. She has yet to get complete control over her phasing powers as on more than one occasion she wakes up under the bed in the morning.

While having come out as a lesbian to her parents, she remains in the closet as a Mutant unsure of hpw to tell them or when.

Over the summer, she hung out with Thiera, Aroma, and sometimes Ven. She's got better control over powers, no longer phasing through the bed in the night. She's been debating whether or not to tell her parents about her being a Mutant. Since returning to school, she became friends with Mimiru since Aroma and Thiera graduated and Mimiru was the only other person she really knew.
Notes: Time for some phasing mischief and clumsiness.

Name: Hitomi Alla
Age: 17
Appearance: Stands five foot three inches, short cropped blond hair, green eyes, light blue plastic oval rimmed glasses. Wears

Over thea white collard shirt underneath a light blue sweater with sleeves that cover her hands, dark blue knee high skirt, white knee high socks, black cotten Mary Janes.
Powers: Canary Cry: A high pitched sonic attack capable of damaging and stunning enemies and objects. Can reach decibles that can cause the ears of those in the direct path of the attack to bleed.
Power Absorbtion: Can absorb the abilities of humans and non-humans alike throgh physical contact. The absorbtion is usually temporary and its duration is relative to how long contact was initiated. Permanent absorbtion is possible, but lethal.
Bio: A socially withdrawn, emotionally repressed bibliophile whose present awakened power forst lanifested at age fourteen when she and another persons hands touched at the school library when they were both reaching for the same book. Luckily contact was only for a second, so no long lasting damage occured.

Since then she has gone to great lengths to avoid physical contact with others including her parents who are often iut of town due to work only seeing each other in the early morning when leaving for work and school.

Most of her time is spent when not reading, playing the piano that came with the house due to it being a hassle to move.

Her Canary Cry emerged from dormancy when cornered by some Tyranno Boys whom were killed by a vigilante shortly afterwards. A brief moment of contact with the vigilante could only be described as cold. Over the summer, she worked at the book store she had been working at for a short while, a classmate, Azuma applying and being hired there as well.
Notes: What if Rogue and Black Canary had a baby?

*And that's when Aroma shows up & beats the Hell out of the husband-wife-duo for acting way cooler than they actually are.*

Seriously, I don't know what you expect people to post in that topic.

It's the middle of the night. I figured Luna would be out. While everyone else sleeps.

That's kind of a ridiculous way of starting an RP.

Name: Father Isaac Grimm
Age: 33
Appearance: Father Grimm is a tall and strongly built man, standing at about 6" and weighing 98kg, and strikes an imposing figure in his charcoal black cassock. He has light blue eyes and messy blonde hair which he keeps fairly short, and has some stubble around his chin, upper lip and cheeks. He has burn scars leading from his right hand, up his right arm and leading a little way up his neck.

Powers:

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

Bio: Isaac Grimm became an orphan before he was even a year old as his single parent was killed by an overdose of ellicit drugs. He spent the rest of his childhood in an old orphanage maintained by nuns, where the most exciting and constant thing in his life was the teachings of the nuns. Once the nuns had taught him basic reading skills, he read the Holy Bible himself. He would keep that copy of the bible for the rest of his life.
One night, Isaac awoke the the strong smell of smoke, an oppressive heat and frantic cries and screams. The orphanage burned to the ground that night, and only Isaac and three other boys and girls survived. The police called it a despicable act of arson, and Isaac was convinced that only a devil from Hell could have commited such an act.
Isaac has now become a priest, has taken self-defense classes, has learned CPR, shoots at a range and has attempted teaching himself to wield a blade (with the help of instructional videos).
As Isaac grew older and learned more of the world, he became aware of Mutants. He thought that it was obvious that such oddities could only be servants of Satan himself. When he learned of his own Mutant powers, he fell into despair. He couldn't fathom why, as a loyal and devout servant of God, he had been marked by the Devil. But in a moment of clarity, he realized that he was not like other Mutants. He had been chosen by God, and gifted with his own flaming wrath to strike down the servants of evil. And that is what he intended to do.
Since coming to terms with his powers, he has managed to smite three heathen Mutants without being captured by the false authorities, or other Mutants.
Notes: Known to the members of his congregation as a passive, friendly man. Owns a .38 revolver and an undecorated short sword which can be kept hidden under his cassock.

Don't know what a cassock is, but accepted.
