• Hippocratic Oath
  As all medical practitioners have done, she has also taken the same said oath to help all those she deems necessary to help, no matter who they are. She takes her art very seriously, and strives to save as many lives as she can, or at least alleviate pain.
  
  Lawful
  A chain smoker by nature, she is still willing enough to put out her ciggie if she happens upon a sign restricting smoking, or is told by someone about the rules. Similarly, she abides by any spoken or stated rules in any place she is currently existing in.
  
  Seen It All
  Nothing surprises her any more. She responds to most events happening before her as if she were watching The Room. For the 50th time in the row. She generally keeps a rather cool head in everything, and has a notorious reputation of voicing out her snarky opinions, before swiftly taking cover from the crossfire.
  
  Good Is Not Nice
  Certainly not. She may be the only person in any facility who is dedicated to her job to a fault, but she also makes a point that she is not one to be mucked about with. To put simply, her bedside manner, for most, seems to be lacking. She makes it a point to be blunt. She is also not above shooting transgressors dead if she has to. She prioritises the safety of her patients over her oath, notably.
  
  History
  
  • Apprenticed under a TCM master until she was 19.
    
  • Pursued and attained a physician's degree in a British university at 26.
    
  • Operated as a combat medic in the British Army for two years.
    
  • Transferred to Aegis as a medical professional.
    
  • Deployed to Facility 108 as a local first response unit, which is another term for school nurse.
  
  Josephine, Samantha, and Judie Love grew up with themselves for support, with their parents dying from a car accident when Jodie was only 5, Samantha 10, and Josephine 16. Josephine, distraught, almost never came back home, choosing to stay at the local traditional Chinese medicine shop nearby, learning from the old man that ran it. She had long apprenticed under the man, out of a love for medicine ever since a child, and it had become a second home. Learning her plight, the old man decided to let her work under him, both as an apprentice and as a part-time shopkeeper. She used the cash mostly to support her family from the sidelines.
  
  She left when she was 19, choosing to pursue a medicinal degree in a local university. After 6 years of cramming and hard work, and never going back home, she finally attained her physician's degree, and was about to return home to see her family and her master when she caught wind of the news that her sister had been paralyzed from the waist down after an...altercation with a super. Maddened, she left again without seeing her family, leaving only a letter for her master, changed her surname, and signed on for the British Army as a medical officer. She would go on to work as a combat medic amongst the armed forces for two years. It was around the same time that she started picking up smoking, and her addiction only got worse since then. However, she seems to be able to go cold turkey for months on end if she absolutely has to.
  
  Her renown ability with medicine, both modern and traditional Chinese, later had her roped into the Aegis programme. Her reaction to this transferal was of abject resignation, almost as if she didn't care. After one year of basic training, she was transferred again from headquarters to Facility 108, acting as a school nurse.
  
  Her natural talent with medicine makes her an often slow, but always effective cure-all, for all injuries and illnesses, and her operating ability and knowledge in biology is second to none in the Aegis staff. Despite not being a super, she has been assigned the nickname of Nightingale, after a legend of times long past. Although her bedside manner needs some work, she takes after her namesake.
  
• Judie Love
  Youngest sister, destined to live forevermore on a wheelchair. Currently under the care of Samantha Love.
  
  Samantha Love
  Middle child of the Love sisters. Strained relationship with Josephine.
  
  Lee Xuan Wei
  Master. Taught her everything she knew about TCM before she left to study.
  
• Skills
  
  • The Medic: First aid, emergency surgery, health issues, anything that isn’t within the purview of a specialist, Josephine is skilled in it. She may not have the healing touch, but as a normal person without powers, she is considered almost divine with her ability to discern and treat most wounds and illnesses.
    
  • The Soldier: Josephine knows how to operate modern firearms, and is a pretty damn good shot with one. She has knowledge of military tactics and movements, and is trained in different warfares. She tries not to let it show.
    
    
  • The Stoic: If there’s anything Josephine is, it is this. She does not flinch easily, and can be essentially counted on to remain professional and reliable even when shit hits the fan.
  Flaws
  
  • Hateful: She bears a personal grudge with supers. No matter how pure a person’s intentions are, as long as they are a super Josephine will treat them with nothing less than contempt.
    
  • Obsessed: Josephine knows she cannot save everyone, but she will damn well try. Her attempts have become an obsession for her, and every life she fails to save, or even prevent ruin, she puts the blame on herself, furthering her depression and stress disorder. Needless to say, she channels this hatred to the supers.
• S&W Model 1899: [Weapon] A .38 caliber revolver. Bears a customised barrel and body with a camouflage-print handle and stylised hearts carved on the inscribed on the barrel. Picked due to a revolver’s relative ease of handling when compared to a regular handgun and overall dependability.
  
  
  Medical Bag: [Tool] Josephine’s main tool of trade. A compartmentalized work of art designed for people like her, the bag bears all the tools she needs for working on the wounded, from simple stuff like medicinal balms to sutures and scalpels.

A few things:

1) Maybe her willpower should be 3? She's able to force herself to go cold turkey on smoking for months at a time, which isn't exactly easy. Not to mention, it sounds like it'd fit her very well in general.

2) Why are her health, strength and defence so low? She's former military, so I'd imagine she'd be pretty fit in general.

3) If she hates supers, why did she agree to join Aegis? Surely she'd know that she'd be treating almost solely supers?

 

[Lioness075]

One thing I noticed but forgot to mention: Your power is listed as photographic memory, which seems... odd?

In addition to my previous notes please pretend I had also said: "Change Photographic Memory (which is already in talents tab so you need not mention it here) to something like Beastform or Metamorphic Biology."

Thank you for pretending like Grandpa Gus doesn't have a mind like a sieve...

I modified that not too long ago when I revamped Scarlet's CS again. Please read the description for it in both sections, as they only share names.

 

[Lioness075]

Also, Manic and whoever else voted for her has already accepted her as she is, so I do not feel as if I need to change anything about her now.

1) true, but it might be a pretty big indicator that she's emotionally the weakest in her family. She is the only one amongst the three sisters that hasn't moved past the grudge against supers. This is, of course, unbeknownst to her, though a future writing I may do will shine some light on this.

2) true, but for balance, and she's just a normie. I might change it up a little.

3) It IS her job. No matter how much she may hate them, supers still make up a certain bulk of the society. To refuse to treat them entirely might be less than profitable. Also, it puts her in a position of power over supers. It's a sick desire, to be fair. I actually forgot this flaw due to the sheer amount of time I haven't played Josie. Thanks for the reminder. Will add it later.

 

[simj26]

That having been said, I have a lot of things to revise in the CS, still, after a chat with Lioness075 .

1) Well, stats aren't relative to your family members, but to Commonwealth's standards. Plus, that sounds more like just a plain personality flaw than a willpower deficiency.

2) Cool stuff, I'll wait and see.

3) Fair enough. Ouch.

  Notes
  What you see is what you get. Nothing special here.
• Softy
  While Salem may talk a big game, he isn't very keen on causing serious harm. He doesn't mind stirring up trouble, but when he draws the line when it comes to hurting people. He is also more generous than people give him credit for. Though he may be the first to reach for that last can of soda or slice of pizza... his conscience would have him fork it over if the person next to him was starving. Albeit begrudgingly. This, unfortunately for him, also applies to people who are hurting, and will try to help. However reluctant he might act in the process, he is probably better suited as a hero than villain.
  
  Wiley
  Salem may not be the brightest crayon in the box, but he is a sly fellow none the less. He can talk a good lie, connect the dots, twist your words, and snake his way out of harrowing situations. He is a witty fellow, and this does him a world of good. Or would, I should say, if he used it smartly. If he wasn't such a troll, he could actually be pretty charming.
  
  Lazy
  Work smarter, not harder! Salem isn't a big fan of physical exertion. He will try to avoid it if necessary. If something doesn't interest him, he will really drag his feet. Otherwise, he likes to do the most work with the minimal effort. And he isn't afraid to get creative to get it done.
  
  The Great Gadfly
  Salem, befitting of his domain of choice, is a bit of a troll. He has a mischievousness nature and likes to push people's buttons. While he isn't afraid to hit below the belt, he isn't one to hit a man when he's down. It can be argued that this could be a coping mechanism he uses to deal with past trauma... or not!
  
  History
  Many years ago, 19 to be precise, Salem was born to a woman of the street. There is not much to say here. She never did care to much about the going on of her children. Just a byproduct of her business. I won't get into details here, as most of it is irrelevant. He was raised more by his elder sister. And they spent most of the time wondering the streets like homeless people. Which they more or less were.
  
  Like many unfortunate children, they tended to band together with others of their plight. As Rosalind powers began to manifest, their mother more or less fully dismissed them, and they found their way in with a pro super gang. It wasn't much. A few thieves and minor criminal. Most barely out of puberty. They got by at least. A story of street rat orphans and a gang of the unwanted that I am sure many of you have heard before. The few there were unregistered. Because "fuck the man". For the most part, they did not cause too much trouble. Except for one incident where they were protesting against some anti super business, and things got a bit heated. His sister, who manipulate water to a incredible degree, destroyed a water main and flooded the area before freezing it solid so they could get away. While they did get away... they caught the eye of the Commonwealth. More specifically, Rosalind did.
  
  The next day, the door was burst in on their little dinky hideout and Commonwealth agents flooded the scene. The little gangsters fled. Or tried to. Many were apprehended. One was killed. Rosalind tried to keep them back but, using her powers against them.
  
  Salem was in the room with his computer, hiding behind her for protection. But as the water ice were thrown about, a frightening incident took place as the fight quickly escalated. Salem was thrown back against a computer as Rosalind pushed him away. He barely knew what happened, as he watched his sister get taken down, he could feel his body ripped apart only for to find himself floating in a dark limbo moments later. The only thing he could see was a bright screen floating in the air showing what was going on. An agent picking up the body of his unconscious sister. He was looking through the lens of a webcam. But as an agent moved to the computer, noticing the boys disappearance into it, Salem felt a deathly fear and fled into the darkness. Through the darkness and into a river of overwhelming light that carried him far away.
  
  Although he barely understood it at the time, he later realized where he was. He was lost inside for days until his mind finally made sense of the world around him and this new world began to piece itself together.
  
  When he did get out, he nearly scared a poor woman to death as he rematerialize right in front of her. He didn't have much left, he wanted to find his sister. He turned to what he knew to get by, Petty crime. But now armed with his new ability, he took it even further
  
  He wasn't about to settle down. He didn't care for that anyway. Unfortunately... when however hard he did look the months after, he could not find any mention of his sister
  
  He was eventually labeled a villain, as he sometimes did work for other villains in exchange for favors and tangible goods. Normally server rooms and hideouts. He liked to think of himself as more freelance, cause he had helped a hero before. Regardless, the government did not like this. A super wreaking havoc on the internet. Doing as he pleased with no regard for the law. They sent after him an AI new EXE. While it took a few years, and many confrontations, EXE finally was able to trap Salem and put him behind bars.
  
  However, it was barely a month later when the prison was raided by the Knights of Raguel, freeing it's occupants to the world. Salem among them. After doing a favor for the infamous Dr. Moufinz, Salem earned a few bucks and decided to try to go into hiding with a safehouse the feline had donated to him. Dr. Moufinz, however... had other plans. Moufinz knew the Knights would try and kill the escapees, and he did not want to see Salem's talent wasted as he planned to use it later on. So Moufinz did Salem a favor in return. The police received an anonymous tip, and the young man was apprehended before he could dive into the internet.
  
  However... with the jail in its current condition, something else needed to be done with him. A suggestion came from the unlikeliest of places. EXE suggested rehabilitation. A sort of second chance. As Salem's power could be a very useful one to the Commonwealth. However, it did not end there. They would give him incentive. They gave to him a letter and a photo. It was a photo of his sister. Alive and well, and a letter written by her to him about considering their offer. She was alive. And while she could not give any details where she was, the Commonwealth made him a deal, should he get a bluecard, he would be allowed to be reunited with Rosalind. Salem could not say no. Even if it only meant there was a slim chance he could see her.
  
  And so, it was arranged that Salem Radford would attend Aegis, facility 108. He was given a limiter, and was to be watched over by EXE to make sure he didn't run away or commit more crime.
  
• Rosalind Radford: Older sister. Missing. Has a mysterious connection with the Commonwealth.
  
  EXE
  Commonwealth AI created to combat Salem within the internet during his time as villain, now serves as probation officer for the young man. There to make sure he doesn't escape. EXE is currently housed in a smartphone like device that can transform into a more mobile unit. A little robot, if you will. More often than not, this will be Salem's entrance to the internet.
• Internet Manipulation
  Salem can access and manipulate the internet by transferring his body and consciousness into it, giving him access to the internet, it’s protocols, it’s structure, the world wide web, communication, data transfer, even the electricity/light running through the wires and wireless technology. He can hack, view and alter all information stored on the internet. He can also enforce and hack security with ease. He can even exit and rematerialize through data ports that he didn't originally enter!
  
  When Salem advances into the “Internet of Things”, the network of physical objects, their capabilities and connectivity greatly expand, being able to control any device from any other device, as long as they're connected to the internet, or connected to each other through any number of other devices.
  
  
  • Digital Constructs: Salem can change data into tools, objects, weapons and other items, create semi-living constructs and/or create structures/buildings of varying permanence. Users who have mastered this ability can use it for almost any situation, creating anything they need. While this only applies to his digital form, he perceives the internet vastly different than just strings of code. Through this subject power his mind subconsciously interprets the information and creates a digital world around him through which he interacts and interfaces all the data he comes across on the internet.
  • Cyber-mind: It will be quite apparent that Salem is no genius. Lucky for him he has the appropriate intuition not to lose himself in cyberspace. His mind interprets the digital world at an incredible pace, and though he may not understand the how, his subconscious has no problem interpreting it for him. Like the rest of his powers, this too is only activated in digital form. In the real world, Salem doesn't think any faster or have any more understand of things than the average person.
  Limitations
  
  
  • Inside Man: Salem's can only control the interwebz when he is in digital form. IRL(IC) he can't effect or manipulate data using his powers. When outside of digital form, Salem is at his most vulnerable.
  • Unplugged: He can only affect things within the network. If a device isn't connected, he has no access, thus can't affect it. Locked devices and networks don't apply as he could just break in.
  • Rooted: His digital format needs to be somewhere. A server, a USB drive, a cellphone, etc. This serves as an anchor point for easy escape. But if his root device is damaged or destroyed, he is forcibly ejected into reality. He can move his anchor point at will, but if his networks are disconnected, he could find himself trapped. As well, he only as access to what his anchor point can be connected to. For example if he is in a cell phone, he can access the internet and spread out from there. Even if he was in a ATM in Thailand, if the cell suddenly lost service, he would find himself back in that cell phone where his anchor point was housed.
  Note: Salem is forced to wear a limiter at all times due to past crimes. While his limiter is active, not only does it track his movement in and out of the net, but it also keeps him from changing his anchor point. Forcing him to only be able to exit the internet the same way he went in. No fast travel for you, Salem.
• Skills
  
  • None: Pretty acurate. He isn't really very skilled in much at all.
    
  • Charismatic: Scathing wit. Roasting. Manipulative silver tonguing. Yeah. Not much of a skill, but if he didn't gain it from dicking around on Internet forums, he probably isn't very good at it.
  Flaws
  
  • Not computer literate: Like seriously. Can't tell the difference between [clever computer lingo] and [really advanced computer term]. Never needed to learn. He can tell you all the memes, though.
    
  • Under observation: Isn't free to do as he pleases. Limiting what he is capable of doing. Big brother is watching, and can send him back to prison as easily as they had plucked him out of it.
• EXE: [Tool] An advanced AI housed in a fancy smartphone like device that acts as part of his limiter. Can also transform into just the cutest little robot!

Honestly, I see nothing amiss here save for one or two pretty subjective grammar things. I approve.

 

[Gus]

Also, Manic and whoever else voted for her has already accepted her as she is, so I do not feel as if I need to change anything about her now.

I was one of the ones who voted for her as is. I don't think it is a deal breaker, but it is traditional for the main power to have one name and one description. And her power is to change shape, not to have a photographic memory, right? Photographic memory could be listed as a sub power I guess, but I see it as a detail as to how she experiences the power, how it works, not what it is, if that makes sense.

She's approved as far as I am concerned either way, but I'd still recommend at least wordsmithing that. Approval is not the end of character development, as far as I can tell. It is barely the beginning.

  Notes
  Her limiter makes it look like she is wearing a VR headset.
• Sensible
  Vicky has always had a good head on her shoulders, and this hasn't changed. She is not a genius, and isn't some sort of special analyst, but she does have keen enough mind to use what she does know to good effect.
  
  Self-conscious
  Victoria has always been aware of who she was and what she is capable of, and does well in keeping herself grounded. Though while she does not hold herself to the standards of others... she does have standards of her own. The manifestation of her powers left plenty for her to be conscious of. Plenty for her not to like.
  
  Vigilant
  No. She is no hurry to go out and save the day. She is, however fairly observant. Question everything and be skeptical. Though not paranoid, she will be quick to frown upon things that make little sense or look to be a threat. Perhaps this comes with her being a bit judgemental. Though normally a bit more passive, this new environment is discomforting. Not to mention, she does need to maintain an awareness of her surroundings.
  
  Disgruntled
  The sudden change of her lifestyle has left her understandably frazzled. Furthermore, she never did have a fondness for supers. Still doesn't. Now add limitations galore and an ugly TV she has to strap to her head. These are just superficial, and she is hardly the worst off as far as Supers go. The deeper issue being that she hasn't quite come to terms with this yet. Vicky can often times get snappy or seem standoffish when it starts to weigh on her.
  
  History
  Victoria came from a nice and happy and stable family, and she lived quite the normal life, having your normal ups and your normal downs. In fact, she was doing quite swell. She was making good grades and planned to go to college, she had many friends and a handsome boyfriend, she was learning to drive and had just gotten a first job that paid more than minimum wage. As per many super stories, this would all change.
  
  It had been a rough week, she hadn't been feeling well and her optical migraines had become quite frequent. She was sixteen and was taking the final tests of the school year. In the classroom, as another migraine decided to plague her, it was all she could do to rub her eyes and try to see as she pushed through... and then it came out of nowhere as she looked up to see what time it was. The clock then just disappeared as the beam forcefully and painfully erupted from her eyes...It had happened so fast that she barely knew what happened. She could barely see. There was destruction and debris and screams. Someone had tackled her, she was pretty sure it was the teacher, and she could remember seeing the sky. It wasn't but half a minute later that she blacked out. When she came to, she is in some facility, with some contraption on her head, and though she couldn't see, she could hear her parents talking in the next room.
  
  Thankfully it had been a relatively small school, and nobody had gotten killed (Though there were quite a few injuries). The school, however, was as they said "cut in half"... Needless to say, her life changed from there and not necessarily in the best of ways. They kept her there at the facility for about a week, running tests and helping her adjust to the limiter. They suggested her being transferred to an AEGIS training facility nearby in Baltimore (To be honest she doubted she had much choice). Her parents, though troubled, where as supportive as they always were. Over the next few months, they sold their home and moved to Baltimore, enrolling Victoria into Facility 108.
  
  
  Victoria's mind went to a slightly darker place. She didn't want to be a monster. She didn't want to be disabled. She was told it wasn't her fault and that it was just something she was born with... as if that mattered to her. She doesn't like supers... she doesn't like losing her old life... doesn't like being virtually blinded...doesn't like all this government involvement... and she doesn't like having to wear that thing on her head. Then there is that whole rating and ranking system...
• ???
  ???
• Optic Energy Blasts
  Though perhaps not technically accurate, this ability is frequently called "Laser Vision" by many. She has heard many debate whether it is akin plasma or a sort of energy, what she does know is that when she opens her eyes a beam is emitted with a penchant of being quite destructive to whatever it makes contact with. The beam is wide and "raw", as she currently seems to be unable to bring herself to focus it. Thankfully this means it will dissipate at a certain distance. It is capable of punching through stone and steel, and what the initial blast doesn't immediately break, it would eventually burn through. The beam can reach ranges between three to four thousand feet before the energy dissipates, however until then the strength of the beam seems to be relatively uniform.
  
  
  • Energy Resistance: To put it simply, without this, her head might explode when she closes her eyes. Her body seems to have developed a natural resistance to many forms of energy. While not entirely immune to energy that is not her own, she is much more resilient against other sorts than that of the normal human.
    
  • Energy Generation: All that energy has to come from somewhere. This may not give her an unlimited pool of energy to fire from, but it is what overcomes the law of the Conservation of Energy and Mass. The exact amount to has yet to be measured, as she kind of broke the recording equipment when they tried.
  
  Limitations
  
  
  • Always Active: Vicky seems to lack the ability to consciously control her ability apart from closing her eyes. This leads to many obvious and dangerous problems, and requires her to where a limiter all of the time.
    
  • Exhaustion: The energy does not seem to come free, and it certainly does not seem to be efficient. Should she release the energy for too long, she will weaken and tire until she collapses. This has more to do with the strain constant release has on her body than the amount of energy that she can produce. This can improve over time as her body gets used to it.
    
  • Vision Problems: While wearing the limiter, her vision suffers. Namely her peripheral vision takes a major blow. This is tolerable given the alternative, without the limiter, every movement of her eyes changes the direction of the beam meaning that she can not look around freely without risking serious collateral damage. So unless she wants to destroy her surroundings when she is not wearing the limiter, she more or less has to walk around blind.
• Skills
  
  • Common sense: She actually speaks sense! Boring? Perhaps. But it's the logical thing to do. Not that it makes much difference when surrounded by eager and zealous fools...
    
  • Judging: She will judge the crap out of you. And not care if it's "PC". She has a good nose of character, and can use it. While some people might not like what she thinks, it isn't often wrong.
  Flaws
  
  • Restrictive vision: Her limiter severly limits her vision. If something isn't straight in front of her, she won't likely see it. She also has to operate blind without the limiter, and actually has to keep a telescopic cane nearby in case this happens.
    
  • Physical Restrictions: Victoria can't risk limiter faltering. As such, she has to avoid many strenuous or high impact activities. If she has another incident... no telling what the Commonwealth might do to her.
• Visor: [Tool/Limiter] A cumbersome piece of machinery that Victoria has to wear to have a somewhat normal functioning life. Covers the upper half of her face, and restricts peripheral vision. However, this limiter is able to hold back the massive amount of energy coming from her eyes. It is not a high end limiter and was meant for pedestrian use, but was still quite expensive. As such it doesn't come with all the bells and whistles. All it does is keep the beams at bay, and had no way to release them aside from taking it off entirely. It fits securely, and while it can be knocked off, it takes a bit of jostling. It is also fairly shock resistant, and can handle a fair bit of impact without breaking, even though it isn't wise to test it. Finally, it can handle getting wet. A bit of rain is okay, but being submerged is a big no no.

First of all, ecstatic to finally see Sempai Vicky back in the queue.

That said, WHY IS THE RELATIONSHIP TAB EMPTY?! NOTICE MANAMI SEMPAI!!! Also Chris, Tabitha, Danny, and most especially Gavin!


Drop the unused equipment/items and that would probably do it for me.

I'll just throw one curve ball: What if energy was 8 instead of 9? I know all too well the temptation of "off the scale" truly. (It has caused me no end of grief, tbh.) Given the ending scene of episode three though, I am not sure off the scale is appropriate? Knocking down the Key bridge from a range of some 2 miles is impressive as fuck to be sure, but is it off the scale? We have scales for that kind of energy: a multi megaton warhead could evaporate the bridge entirely from twice the distance. The degree of focus is the unprecedented thing. It is not a deal-breaker for me, just something to consider.

Get some blurbs in the relationships section and we're cool.

The thought had crossed my mind.

Firstly, the reason of the 9 is the seemingly endless amount of energy that she can produce. Limited by what her body can tolerate the stress of its ejection.

Also the range is something I have actually considered changing. Increasing, actually.

 

[Lioness075]

I was one of the ones who voted for her as is. I don't think it is a deal breaker, but it is traditional for the main power to have one name and one description. And her power is to change shape, not to have a photographic memory, right? Photographic memory could be listed as a sub power I guess, but I see it as a detail as to how she experiences the power, how it works, not what it is, if that makes sense.

She's approved as far as I am concerned either way, but I'd still recommend at least wordsmithing that. Approval is not the end of character development, as far as I can tell. It is barely the beginning.

I may have edited it incorrectly, but her main power is titled Shapeshifting, not Photographic Memory. I think this is a misunderstanding.

  Notes
  His sense of style can best be described as "too casual to be taken seriously".
• Understanding
  Huck is a very friendly fellow, and it helps as a person in his field tends to work with a lot of children and teenagers. He may not have super powers himself... but he has seen it all. And has witnessed many of the struggles they go through. As such, it is easy for him to empathize with them, as he works to help them the best he can. It helps that he is a man who really appreciates life.
  
  Mild Mannered
  Huck is a gentle soul, mostly. Sure he can have a bit of a mischievous side, but it is always lighthearted in nature. Anyway, he is a very calm individual. He tackles his job and his life at his own pace, and doesn't ever really seem to get flustered when things do not go his way.
  
  Thinking outside the (Schrödinger's) Box
  It would not be unfair to call Huck a crackpot scientist sometimes. As there have been plenty instances where he has put out some pretty outlandish theories. But you know what? Oh well. Plenty of scientists are out there doing the same damn thing. Huck is the type to challenge conventions and think outside the box. Nothing ventured nothing gained. He is more than willing to entertain whatever ideas come his way, be they wild or mild. After all, sometimes, a solution can be found just by looking at the problem a different way.
  
  Filthy Casual
  List It would be unfair to call him lazy. He did complete quite a bit of school in after all. But he can be a bit... disorganized. His desk his a mess, his hair is a mess, his tie is a mess, (his car is clean though) his clothes are normally untucked and a bit wrinkled. Note: Messy, not dirty. He is clean. He just seems to act like he is at home. It isn't unlike him to eat a bag of chips while testing a student, or put his feet up on the desk, or other such casual nonsense. It is very easy not to take his overly casual demeanor seriously.
  
  History
  Huckleberry came from an unimportant town from one of the Midwestern states. Kansas to be precise. There is not much importamce to be explain here, as he lead a fairly normal life. Middleclass. Had decent parents. No serious run ons with dangerous supers or villains. Just a kid growing up in the flatlands. Yet just because his early life wasn't very eventful, didn't mean he didn't have passions. One such passion was supers. And like many a kid with appreciation for wondrous things and awe towards the marvels of the universe, he wanted to grow up to be a scientist. So that is what he did. Growing up, he may have struggled a bit in school, slacking off as any young man might, but he did eventually get into college. Taking what classes he could to specialize in the understanding of supers.
  
  Yet... over the years of listening to professors and studying books and all that sciency jazz. His mind would always churn out so many innane or insane questions. What if's. Why's. What about's. Coulda's and woulda's. Normally this wouldn't be seen as a bad thing, but for him it was cranked up to eleven. Needless to say he got in a bunch of peoples nerves pretty quickly. Leading to him being brushed away on many occasions... yet did this stop him? Of course not. Then we wouldn't have a character. No. Instead he started applying his own knowledge to what questions they couldn't answer.
  
  This lead him to his real passion, discussing things which nobody really understood. Things people couldn't really figure out. And in this field, such things were too many to count. And he loved it. The applied biology quickly took a backseat at the wonderful prospects of the theories and paradoxes that littered the realm of superhuman science.
  
  His passion for the subject did not go unnoticed. It was do to one of the few professors that actually humored him, that helped land him his job with the Commonwealth. Thus his application was submitted as soon as they handed over his doctorate. Though he was still seen as a bit of a kook among the government scientists, he did his job well enough that they considered it only a minor quirk.
  
  A few years later, after some troubling incidents in Baltimore and a scientist being fired, the Commonwealth decided to change their tactics in that area. They needed a few good men (or women) to try and help things along. One of the scientists was Dr. Kingston, recommended for his close work with the supers of Facility 256, and his gentle and unflappable nature they hoped to deal with the angstiest of the edgy and the wildest of the crazy that Baltimore seemed to spawn. So it was, that he got a personal call from Scarlet, and was sent out Baltimore for this project for an indefinite amount of time. That was fine by him. Kansas was getting boring and Baltimore, judging from the news, certainly seemed like a lively place.

  N/A
  
• Skills
  
  • Biology : The meat and potatoes of his college years, and what he received his doctorate in. He has a broad knowledge on the matter, and talks about supers with gusto.
    
  • Physics: While not his specialty, he focused his studies here on their applications with supers and limiters.
    
  • Engineering: In part, applied physics. But Huck has studied the workings and fabrication of limiters for his job via training programs in the Commonwealth.
    
  • Theory: His favorite! This is what Huck would say he specializes in. And there is nothing he loves more than thinking up and testing theories.
    
  • Devil's Advocacy: Hand in hand with theory, Huck likes to debate what is "common knowledge". Just because it is scientific doesn't mean there is nothing to be gained by questioning it.
    
  • Zoology: A subsect of his biology studies. Huck has studied many animals, especially given that there are many bestiary say users out there. While he dropped out of this class, it's subject matter has proven invaluable.
    
  • Botany: Like zoology, it has helped him understand certain powers, and he had dropped it as a class. However gardening is one of his main hobbies.
    
  • Psychology: Another class he took. While he didn't get into the annoying confusing advanced subjects of it, he has a good understanding of it. And it in part has helped him work with a lot of people. Namely, many supers and what psychological problems they might have to deal with.
    
  • Brainstorming: Any scientist worth his salt is good at this. And Huck thoroughly enjoys a good brainstorming session.
    
  • Self-defense: He isn't a martial artist, but he is packing and knows how to use it. He isn't so naive as to know that working with supers isn't without its risks. Just because he has a gentle soul doesn't mean he shouldn't be able to protect himself.
  Flaws
  
  • No Plot: Kingston is a for all intents and purposes an NPC. I have no desire or plans for him to be involved in plots of his own.
    
  • No spotlight: Kingston is here to make you look good and explore your char, and not made to have any spotlight on him. A veritable narrative jebrony.
• Gun: [Weapon] Standard issue.

Okay, yeah, I meant for Photographic memory to be more of an explanation point than a sub power or a second main power. I'll unbold it later and italicize instead.

  Notes
  Don't let the pic fool you. Ernest isn't that cool, or at least... doesn't normally dress that cool. For the most part, he dresses for his job. You will usually see him sporting a pastel blue jumpsuit. Or pastel green. Pastels are nice. Kids like pastels, right? Doesn't matter! He is too old to worry much about fashion. Thankfully he is good looking enough to rock his usual casual fashion sense outside of work.
• 
  Friendly: A thoroughly good guy with an ever present grin. Ernie is laid back and lenient, a man who believes that life is too short to let things get you down. He loves meeting new people and tries to befriend everyone he meets, whether they like it or not. You will see him laughing a lot, as he seems to find joy in everything he does. Exuberant might be a word used to describe him. Child-like might also be word to use. But don't be fooled by his immature gimmicks, there is an intelligence behind his eyes and a method to his madness. but for the most part, you will meet a jolly light hearted man who has no interest in harming anyone. He treats everyone he meets as a friend, even those who treat him with hostility. Just be careful should you take that route, Ernie is very good at playing that game.
  
  
  Hardworking: Quick to horse around and slack off, one is generally surprised to learn that he is very good at getting things done. He works with an energy and a passion that puts young working lads to shame. He loves what he does, and it shows.Yet he sometimes gets a little too into his work, and works through his breaks, or work overtime just to get something finished.
  
  
  It's hip to be square: Ernie is too old to care if people thinks he is cool. He thinks he is cool and thats what matters. He is all about that camp. He has a great sense of humor and loves to crack out jokes and puns. He loves himself a good zinger, too. Nothing like a good one-liner. Anyhow, he can easily come off as cheesy or lame to the younger more hip crowd.
  
  
  Once an agent, always an agent: Ernie isn't all happy go lucky, when times come to put on a serious face, Manny will do just that. Flipping upside down whatever idea you might have had of him. He is a professional, after all, and his government branch was not in the habit of hiring people who can not handle themselves or act accordingly. Ernest can slit a man's throat then go out for ice cream with his daughter immediately after. However, being a soldier for so many years has left it's mark. While he hides it well, a sense of detachment followed him home from the agency.
  
  History
  
  Here is a story, like many of the others I have told before, which begins without any sort of excitement. Ernest Rousseau was born to Graham and Margaret Rousseau, two very kind people with very solid morals. They raised him well. The story that is relevant to tell starts when he was fourteen, when his parents adopted a young girl. Luther. Our Ernie became a big brother that day, and it was a duty he took with much gusto. He bonded with her quickly, and did his best to make sure she felt like one of the family. He loved almost from the start. Not once did he mind her following him around, even if some of "the guys" thought it was uncool, he shrugged it off. He did his best to be a good example for her.
  
  It wouldn't last forever, of course, as once he got out of high school he went to college. He stayed there a few years and got his bachelor's degree, until he found his calling and joined the police force. He applied himself dutifully and was eventually transferred to the FBI. His work in the field caught the eye of the Commonwealth who asked for him specifically. And thus... he soon found himself working as one of the Agency of the Commonwealth responsible for fighting against the illegal activities of rogue vigilantes and super villains. It was a dangerous job, but Ernie was more than willing to contribute and do his part to ensure his country was a safer place.
  
  During all this time, he had met a field nurse, A young (at the time) Priscilla Tannenbaum. The two hit it off quite well, got married, bought a home, and had a lovely daughter together. It was high point in his life, and they were quite happy. So it was, life would continue for the next many years. Ernie out fighting the terrors that threatened the country as a model agent, Priscilla transfered to local hospital so she could raise young Kelly.
  
  Like many good things, it did not last. Priscilla was diagnosed with an advanced stage cancer. Ernest took leave from the agency to care for her, and help with Kelly... but nothing could be done. She died two years later, when Kelly was eight years old. Needless to say... the Rousseau family was devestated. However, Ernest had a daughter to raise. He retired immediately after so that he could raise Kelly the best he could.
  
  Over the next five years, at the present day, Ernie had taken to more mundane jobs so he could be close to Kelly. The time for grief had passed, and the time had returned to keep on living. He may have been retired, but he still had a few contacts in the Commonwealth, and they landed him a pretty sweet gig at Aegis Facility 108. A janitor? Sounds like fun. And his sister would be there too.
  
  
  
• 
  Graham Rousseau: Father. Alive. A saintly man and an honest lawyer that Ernie respects highly.
  
  
  Margaret Rousseau: Mother. Alive. A kind woman that was in no small part Ernie's prime example of kindness. Ain't no shame in loving your momma.
  
  
  Luther Rousseau: Sister. Alive. He loves her to death and trusts her with his life. Just because she is older now doesn't mean he isn't going to dote on her. He's still her big brother. (Played by @Syrenrei )
  
  
  Kelly Rousseau: Daughter. Alive. His beautiful and spirited daughter. Kelly is his world, and while being single father may be hard at times, he relishes every moment with her. (Played by @Dusky )

  Badassery Embodiment (Action hero physiology)
  
  Ernest will swear up and down to this day that he is just a normal guy and not a super. A guy who trained hard and was dedicated to his job. But someone somewhere decided this was not the case. Ernest had been through many missions over the years and has shown that he has the ability to go above and beyond. He has, on multiple occasions, has had to push himself to his limits to get through extreme conditions. Such as extended firefights outnumbered and fighting his way through a villains lair singlehandedly. He said it was will, perseverance, and good training. He has on multiple occasions survived instances that would have killed or severly injured common soldiers, yet escaped with mild to no injuries. Such as nearby explosions, car crashes, bullet wounds, stabbings, and falling from dangerous heights. He says it was just luck. He has on multiple occasions pushed the limits of human constitution. Such as incredible exertion over long periods of time, deep diving, carrying people long distances. He says it is because he eats healthy, doesn't smoke, and has a great cardiovascular routine.
  
  There has been some debate. Ernest has not really shown the ability to act outside of human possibilty. He isn't super strong and he isn't super fast. He bleeds just as easily as anyone else. Yet... he has the super gene. What else could be the culprit for such a prime human specimen?
  
  
  
  • Enhanced Physiology: Ernie has pretty tough body. He is sturdy, and is fairly indefatigable. Even as he has aged, he hasn't lost much (if any) of his prime. Because of this, Ernie has been able to push himself to the limits of well rounded human potential. Can withstand a lot of punishment, to just barely outside of human reason. Even his instinct seems well refined.
    
    
  • Epic One-liners: What is an action hero without this? Someohow, somewhere in his brain, there is a little node that activates whenever a one-liner or witty banter is needed.
    
  
  Limitations:
  
  
  • I'm retired: Ernie has been away from the force for some years now and has settled down. As such, he has lost some of his edge.
  • Being a super human does not always mean being superhuman: Ernie does not, and can not, push himself beyond nonsuper human capabilities. He doesn't have super strength or super defense or super anything else. He just has, apparently, a pretty good bod that he has taken advantage of via training.
  • Epic one-liners: Why is this in the limitations? Because sometimes it is really really hard to think of a good one. And not every one works... some time a really lame one sneaks out and makes him look stupid.
  
  
• Skills
  Ernest has a wide array of training at his disposal from his many years working for the government. Though he may not have practiced some it for a handful of years, he still has many years experience to help back up the skills he has learned from his prior occupation.
  
  • Firearms: Ernie is well acquainted with many forms of weaponry. He has trained extensively with them over the years, and is familiar with many varieties, from commonplace to exotic.
    
  • Hand to Hand Combat: Having guns is one thing. But sometimes you just have to beat a bad guys face in with your fist. Good thing he had received extensive training in hand to hand combat too.
    
  • Explosives: Yes. This too. Sometimes a villain comes around that you just have to up your firepower. From rockets to grenades to good ole C4, he is familiar with how to use them. And disarm them if necessary.
    
  • Driving: Part of hunting down villains was the chase. Not all villains like to come in quietly. Ernest over the years has become quite adept at driving numerous vehicles in ways ways that would make a stunt driver nod their head in approval.
    
  • Infiltration: Sometimes the agency gets luck with Intel and they send people to go knock on a villains door. Knowing how to break in and survive a villains secret lair was par for the course for field agents.
    
  • Cooking: Kelly has got to eat good, and we are most certainly not going out to eat every night.
    
  • Sewing: Yuppers, he can sew. He taught himself and it has helped often in raising his girl. He found it fun and has doesn't mind doing it as a hobby.
    
  • First aid: Not only did he recieve some training in it, but he has had plenty of practice being a parent.
    
  • Teaching: part of being a parent. Ernie is good with kids.
    
  • Cleaning: Also part of being a parent. And he is a janitor too. They say it's not glorious? Who cares, work is as fun as you make it.
    
  • Fixing the stuffs: This too comes with being a parent. But he has also had plenty of experience with this from the agency (as well as a bit of sabotage). It also helps to know how to fix things in his current line of work.
    
  • Witty Banter: Nothing makes a job more living then a good back and forth. From jokes to snark, he is rarely left speechless.
  Flaws
  
  • Flaw: Has a flaw. It can be described.
    
  • Laid back: As staff member, he acts more like a cool uncle than someone in a position of authority.

Needs Flaws. Maybe a temper, but buried deep? PTSD? Find the right (or wrong) button sort of thing?

Maybe "Laid back" could morph to inappropriate humor? I could see Ernie having a bit of gallows humor that might rub some the wrong way...

I love this character so much! We need a janitor/badass. Just add a couple little bits!

• Loyal: When he become close to someone, Aid will never let him down. He will try his best to fulfil his loved one expectation. He will believe what they said despite being drummed with facts by others. He believes that his friends have the right interest in their heart and will help them to carry it out as best as he can.
  
  Childish: Despite his stepping into adolescence, Aid still has a craving for sweets. He views a hallway he pass through every day with wonder as if he sees it for the first time. Almost everything is a game, and staying quiet in one place is a hard thing to do. His interest is easily caught by everything, and his attention span is no longer than 5 seconds unless something really fascinates him. Sometimes, it got him into trouble when he played with a couple of ants during an exam.
  
  Judgemental: For Aid, everything is black and white. A person is either nice or bad. Good or evil. Once he established his opinion, his attitude toward that person will be reflected as such. It is quite hard to change his opinion once he has decided. True to his nature, he will believe everything an evil person said as a lie.
  
  Gullible: Being childish himself, Aid is easy to trick. An absurd tall tale will be accepted by him as truth if he doesn't know better. A man once offered him a lollipop from a suspiciously blank van. When Aid asked if the man is a bad guy and he shook his head, Aid followed him contently. Lucky for him, Gladys arrived not long after and stopped the man from carrying Aid.
  
  History
  His grandmother was the only biological family Aid ever known. His father died in an accident when a failed attempt of teleportation split him into two. His mother died when she gave birth to him, leaving him alone with his grandmother. When he was seven, he used to play hide and seek all day, refusing to come out even after his friends gave up, leaving his poor sister Gladys to look for him. One time, she was not able to find Aid anywhere for hours and the police were called in. After a long day of searching, Aid was found on his bed, sleeping. When he was asked where did he went, Aid just smiled and said he win.
  
  Apart from hide-and-seek, swimming was another activity he had passion in. It seemed natural for him to stroke his hand inside the water, covering distance inside the clear liquid. His grandmother encouraged him to develop his hobby and signing him at a local swimming club. The coach said that Aid has talent, and no one says otherwise. Water was his element. He was able to beat his elders at the club but unfortunately had only won three tournaments due to him refusing to compete more than once a month and keep forgetting the date and time of the tournament.
  
  His power firstly became known when at a foot race, He disappeared from the sight of the audiences only to appear in front of his opponents and cross the finish line. Another event that took his grandmother attention was when he was locked inside his room after being caught red-handed stealing a cookie before breakfast. When Grandma Greta opened the door to call him for dinner, Aid wasn't there. Frantic, she screamed on the top of her lungs when she heard a laugh and see Aid behind her, His head sticking out of the wall. Of course, it took the attention of Commonwealth. With a gentle reminder to be good from his grandmother, Aid has started to attend Facility 108. He didn't mind it for a bit. It's an opportunity to see a new environment. New people, new surrounding. A whole new world for Aid.
  
• Greta Ward
  Grandmother of Aid, currently living alone with an adopted daughter, runs a small antique shop.
  
  Drayada Gladys
  Preferred to be called by her surname. A friend of Aid and adopted daughter of Grandma Greta.
  
  
• Solid Swim
  Aid is able to interact with solid as if they are liquid. This ability allows him to walk through walls as if they are a curtain of water. This ability also allows him to dive into the ground and swim inside it. It is not very destructive, but can potentially lead to chaos if not properly used.
  
  
  • : X-Ray vision
    Aid is able to see through solid materials as far as he can normally above ground. The purer the material, the clearer his vision will be. Concrete, for instance, will give him a good view. Normal ground, which is made of many compounds, will be foggy.
  
  Limitations
  
  • Inorganic: Aid is unable to swim into living organism. A bear, for instance, would be impossible. A bear rug or a robot, on the other hand, will be like a water cube for him.
    
  • Hard Standing: A solid surface is needed by Aid in order to dive into it. A surface of sand, for instance, will stop him from diving into it.
    
  • Prey's Fear: Whenever Aid use his power, a sense of fear will cover him. The fear will intensifies as Aid swim deeper from air surface, until at one point, it will be unbearable and he will quickly turn toward the nearest air.
• Skills
  
  • Swimming : A natural swimmer, Aid feels comfortable in water for a long duration. It is one activity he can enjoy fully by himself.
    
  • Hiding: Most people call it a flaw instead of a skill. Aid has a knack to find the best hiding place in the area. (much to his friends' dismay)
  Flaws
  
  • Bad Liars: Deception is not one of his greatest skill. It is hard for Aid to lie bluntly at someone, as he often reduced to a laughter or mutter every time he tried.
    
  • Forgetful: It is hard enough to gain Aid's attention. And when people do, he sometimes forgets what others have told him in place of something more interesting.
• Pen: [Tool] More of a habit than anything, Aid carries a pen, tucked into his collar everywhere. When he has nothing better to do, he can be found clicking on the pen over and over to pass the time. At a different circumstance, he can be found doodling on his own hand.
  

Glad to see Aid back!

Approved.

It's 2:15 in the morning and I cannot be asked to fill out the relationship section at this time because I'm lazy and he doesn't have any overly specific, close connections as of this time.

  Notes
  Yes he is technically a dog but still technically a human. Equipped with some minor robotics that allows him to do things a human would do without much struggle.
• Sanguine
  Uriel tries his damn hardest to be as happy and optimistic as he can be, even if he's having an off day. This is mainly for the benefit of others, but it's also for his own; you won't stay sane long living as long as Uriel has if you've got a pessimistic attitude and a negative disposition afterall. So, as a result of this, Uriel is more often than not, a bottle of infectious, endless sunshine that has the tendency to try and make others as happy and optimistic as himself. He's certainly a very hopeful & happy person.
  
  Cautious
  Whilst his power does allow him to ignore the death sentence that is ageing by constantly switching through bodies just before his time comes, you don't survive 366 years by being a reckless idiot. Uriel is a man who very much likes to weigh his options and think about every possibility, every risk and every outcome before initiating a plan and carrying it out. He doesn't appreciate "winging" it as some people do because that's how people die and how stupid, avoidable mistakes are made.
  
  Steadfast
  Uriel is very firm in his belief's and loyalties no matter what and will always stand to defend them or justify them in the face of others who attempt to bypass them. This makes him rather reliable and predictable instead of fickle or chaotic and as such, can be relied on to do what he is told needs to be done no matter how little time there is and no matter what could try to stop to them. He most certainly won't allow his duties, loyalties and beliefs to be easily compromised.
  
  Childish
  Uriel, despite lacking a reckless demeanour and having a fondness for planning things ahead of times, is still very much a rather childish person; even after living 366 years. He may act this way for a very similar reason why he tries to be so happy all the time; to keep himself sane and not fall into a pit of despair. This does, however, have the consequences of him acting more like a "cool bro" than an actual respectable figure or teacher. He doesn't have an aura that demands immediate respect or professionalism like some of his colleagues, such as Swan or Red.
  
  History
  Uriel has had an incredibly long life and whilst he's experienced many things, he can't remember all the details. He was born in the Netherlands, Amsterdam and can just remember that his mother was an artist and his father was absent, presumably having been made deceased just before he was born and his mother managed to survive his birth. Other details of his early life have been forgotten, with his memory of such a time being scarce. Can't exactly even remember when his powers exactly manifested either, although he is aware that he discovered his Consciousness Transferal at a much later date than his Telepathy and his first animal was a cat.
  
  After gaining his powers, Uriel has done a variety of things in his life that could be considered notable. Attempts to help the progress of the rights of Supers in Europe during the time and staying with other Supers who found themselves somewhat ostracised from society. Most notably, he assisted partially and in a limited fashion in both World Wars, in a support role of course given his power and it's implications, but assisting nonetheless.
  
  Moving to more recent years, Uriel was formerly a Commonwealth Agent before retiring once "Rapture" came about, mainly out of horror in relation to what The Commonwealth were starting to deal and all the dodgy experiments they began to carry out. As a result of that, Uriel stayed low throughout the duration of Rapture and the reformation of The Commonwealth, mainly assisting in minor charity work and the like, or giving aid to other various Supers.
  
  However, after remaining distant from the organisation, he found himself drawn into the work related to Supers once again, although he wasn't so sure about directly joining The Commonwealth again. Instead, he found himself a place in an AEGIS Facility as a Faculty member teaching First Aid to the students.
• Other Character's Name
  Description of relationship with said character
• Telepathy
  Uriel is capable of a fairly simplistic and rudimentary form of Telepathy which allows him to do two things. Firstly, it can allow him to project his mental thoughts out loud to everyone in the area without a limit on the number of people capable of listening in, although, everyone within range of it will be able to hear his thoughts being projected no matter who they are. Secondly, it also allows him to create "Mental Chat-rooms" which unlike his first capability, are not projected outwards for everyone to hear, only for those who Uriel specifically wants to communicate with. When creating these "Mental Chat-rooms", participants of it are they themselves capable of mental communication with both Uriel and anyone else within the chat-room itself. However, unlike his first application, this form of Telepathy does indeed have a limit on the number of people it can accommodate.
  
  It should be noted that Uriel's telepathy is strictly limited to mental communication, nothing more and nothing less. He cannot mentally manipulate others through his powers or anything like that. It's simply pure communication.
  
  
  • Consciousness Transferal: The most notable capability Uriel has is his ability to Telepathically transfer his Consciousness into the form of any living being so long as it is not a human being. This functions similar to possession, with Uriel's consciousness seeming to absorb the consciousness of the creature he is possessing and subsuming it, making the body his own. This may be the reason why Uriel tends to adopt the typical behavioural traits of the animals he possesses.
  
  Limitations
  
  • If It's Human, It Won't Work: Uriel, quite simply, cannot utilise his power of Consciousness Transferal on any human being, brain dead, baby or otherwise. This is somewhat inconvenient given that he doesn't exactly have all the extremities a human has that allows them to navigate regular life oh so conveniently.
  • Total Range: Uriel can only extend the range of the telepathy in either form 200 meters around him. Anything beyond this range he will be incapable of using his telepathy on in the slightest. People who are connected to his Mental Chat-room and leave this range will end up making Uriel suffer from the backlash and make him suffer from temporary but painful migraines.
  • This Isn't Exactly Instantaneous: No, Uriel cannot just swap between bodies like he's playing a game of hop scotch. The process of transferring his consciousness to another being takes a few seconds, typically around ten seconds exactly, and he isn't exactly sure what'll happen if this process if sufficiently disrupted. It might kill him, or it might just force him back to the body he's currently possessing and having to do the process again. He'd rather not test it.
  • No, It's Not Mind Control: It should be strictly known that Uriel is only equipped with the most basic and rudimentary form of Telepathy available, which simply only allows him to relay mental messages to others without needing to actually talk himself. He can't turn you into his personal puppet, no personality or memory alteration. Can't see all your deepest darkest secrets. Just simple messaging.
  • Personality Alteration: It's a current ongoing topic amongst Commonwealth Scientist's whether the "original" Uriel even exists anymore. Is he simply creating Consciousness Copies of himself in animals that he's possessing or has the "original" Uriel just been wholly subsumed, with his current personality just being the amalgamation of all the animals he's possessed over the years. Whatever it is, Uriel is always influenced by the animal he's possessing and it's behaviour. He'd much more friendly whilst possessing a Golden Retriever than a feral wolf, for example.
  • Well, This Isn't A Human Body: You'd be surprised how awkward life can get when you suddenly realise that some animals don't have arms or that some animals can die after eating something as seemingly harmless as chocolate of all things. Whilst he gains all the strengths of the animal, he also gains all of it's weaknesses too. A limited life-span that ensures he has to swap bodies regularly, capable of suffering from animal-related diseases and etc.
  • Mentally Susceptible: The exact reasoning is unknown, whether it's because he's in the body of an animal or not, but when interacting with other Telepath's and the like, Uriel has shown to become oddly easily suggestible and vulnerable to them specifically. A very interesting thing to be noted is that Telepaths who have shown in past that they're abilities do not work on animals find that Uriel is the exception.
  • Not So Super Memory: Uriel has a perfectly normal human memory, not enhanced or anything like that. As a result of that, he can't exactly recall everything he's experienced in his life time so well and whilst he's picked up numerous skills, he constantly has to practice and hone them so he doesn't forget them. Sure, he'll remember real major events and situations, but other than that, it may all be a bit of a blur. It's like you trying to remember what you had for breakfast on Saturday when you were five, but on a much grander scale.
• Medical Training: Uriel spent a good chunk of his life in service of The Commonwealth, off and on the field. This has allowed him to gain an unparalleled knowledge on how to treat an incredibly large number of injuries and situations, alongside allowing him to perform impromptu surgery in the middle of an area if truly need be. There is a very good reason why Uriel was chosen as the First Aid teacher.
  
  Handling Children: Although his childish demeanour doesn't exactly do him any favours in a businesslike and professional environment, it certainly makes it incredibly easy for him to handle children and have a much easier time to get along with them. His times occasionally handling and assisting in taking care of potentially unstable child Supers has strengthened this skill and as such, Uriel is nearly unmatched in his ability to get along with the youth.
  
  Guilt-Ridden: Having a long life has allowed Uriel to reap a great amount of regret over the years that he seems destined to forever deal with. The constant questions on his mind being whether he's spending his seemingly infinite time right, whether this is all actually worth it or not, is his usage of his power justifiable given what he's trying to do for people? It all weighs very heavily on his shoulders and has a tendency to creep up on him when unoccupied.
  
  Hyper-vigilant: Uriel's caution in life may be a result of his Hyper-vigilance. He's obsessive over trying to keep his host's body in good condition because he feels very heavily obliged too, given that their existence allows him to live just a little bit longer. Alongside this, he tends to get a bit antsy at the very first signs of trouble and his childishness demeanour can quickly turn into a rather neurotic one.
  
• Robotic Prosthetic's: Uriel was able to be provided with some very convenient robotics from a friend so as to make life easier in general. A backpack is strapped onto him which contains a grand total of twelve tri-claw arms, each with the same strength and durability as the average human. They're capable of extending a total of 10ft. As a result of his current position, they also have a numerous amount of medical equipment and such in-built, allowing him to provide first aid to anyone whenever they need it.
  
  Translation Collar: Uriel was lucky enough to convince a friend to provide him with a collar that when activated, states his current thoughts and such, so as to allow him to talk to those who are immune to his Telepathy in some form or another. It's a bit finicky at times and can accidentally make Uriel state a thought he intended to keep to himself, but it's proven useful time and time again when he encounters certain Supers in various situations.
  
  First Aid Kit: Uriel is paranoid enough to ensure that he's carrying a spare medical kit on his backpack at all times in the event that all of his arms are incapacitated or someone else needs to provide medical aid to someone he cannot treat or reach for whatever reason. It contains all the usual, typical things a first aid kit would have in stock, along with having things such as painkillers and the like.

 

[ManicMuse]

I'm afraid I don't have much feedback.

I feel that she could use a higher stat in composure. Given her actions in character, she seems very down to earth and composed in high stress situations. As for the other stats, I think others may need to weigh in on them. That is really not my area of expertise. I know Lemon Boy or Syr would be a good resource you could reach out to.

I would move Judging to a character flaw. Or change it to being a good judge of character or something. As it's written now, it kinda reads both ways if that makes sense?

I am hoping that we can move forward with Gavin offering her a pair of glasses as seen in the profile picture as an alternative to her limiter. We will have to get together and see if we can hash out the details of that.

  Notes
  Her limiter makes it look like she is wearing a VR headset.
• Sensible
  Vicky has always had a good head on her shoulders, and this hasn't changed. She is not a genius, and isn't some sort of special analyst, but she does have keen enough mind to use what she does know to good effect.
  
  Self-conscious
  Victoria has always been aware of who she was and what she is capable of, and does well in keeping herself grounded. Though while she does not hold herself to the standards of others... she does have standards of her own. The manifestation of her powers left plenty for her to be conscious of. Plenty for her not to like.
  
  Vigilant
  No. She is no hurry to go out and save the day. She is, however fairly observant. Question everything and be skeptical. Though not paranoid, she will be quick to frown upon things that make little sense or look to be a threat. Perhaps this comes with her being a bit judgemental. Though normally a bit more passive, this new environment is discomforting. Not to mention, she does need to maintain an awareness of her surroundings.
  
  Disgruntled
  The sudden change of her lifestyle has left her understandably frazzled. Furthermore, she never did have a fondness for supers. Still doesn't. Now add limitations galore and an ugly TV she has to strap to her head. These are just superficial, and she is hardly the worst off as far as Supers go. The deeper issue being that she hasn't quite come to terms with this yet. Vicky can often times get snappy or seem standoffish when it starts to weigh on her.
  
  History
  Victoria came from a nice and happy and stable family, and she lived quite the normal life, having your normal ups and your normal downs. In fact, she was doing quite swell. She was making good grades and planned to go to college, she had many friends and a handsome boyfriend, she was learning to drive and had just gotten a first job that paid more than minimum wage. As per many super stories, this would all change.
  
  It had been a rough week, she hadn't been feeling well and her optical migraines had become quite frequent. She was sixteen and was taking the final tests of the school year. In the classroom, as another migraine decided to plague her, it was all she could do to rub her eyes and try to see as she pushed through... and then it came out of nowhere as she looked up to see what time it was. The clock then just disappeared as the beam forcefully and painfully erupted from her eyes...It had happened so fast that she barely knew what happened. She could barely see. There was destruction and debris and screams. Someone had tackled her, she was pretty sure it was the teacher, and she could remember seeing the sky. It wasn't but half a minute later that she blacked out. When she came to, she is in some facility, with some contraption on her head, and though she couldn't see, she could hear her parents talking in the next room.
  
  Thankfully it had been a relatively small school, and nobody had gotten killed (Though there were quite a few injuries). The school, however, was as they said "cut in half"... Needless to say, her life changed from there and not necessarily in the best of ways. They kept her there at the facility for about a week, running tests and helping her adjust to the limiter. They suggested her being transferred to an AEGIS training facility nearby in Baltimore (To be honest she doubted she had much choice). Her parents, though troubled, where as supportive as they always were. Over the next few months, they sold their home and moved to Baltimore, enrolling Victoria into Facility 108.
  
  
  Victoria's mind went to a slightly darker place. She didn't want to be a monster. She didn't want to be disabled. She was told it wasn't her fault and that it was just something she was born with... as if that mattered to her. She doesn't like supers... she doesn't like losing her old life... doesn't like being virtually blinded...doesn't like all this government involvement... and she doesn't like having to wear that thing on her head. Then there is that whole rating and ranking system...
• ???
  ???
• Optic Energy Blasts
  Though perhaps not technically accurate, this ability is frequently called "Laser Vision" by many. She has heard many debate whether it is akin plasma or a sort of energy, what she does know is that when she opens her eyes a beam is emitted with a penchant of being quite destructive to whatever it makes contact with. The beam is wide and "raw", as she currently seems to be unable to bring herself to focus it. Thankfully this means it will dissipate at a certain distance. It is capable of punching through stone and steel, and what the initial blast doesn't immediately break, it would eventually burn through. The beam can reach ranges between three to four thousand feet before the energy dissipates, however until then the strength of the beam seems to be relatively uniform.
  
  
  • Energy Resistance: To put it simply, without this, her head might explode when she closes her eyes. Her body seems to have developed a natural resistance to many forms of energy. While not entirely immune to energy that is not her own, she is much more resilient against other sorts than that of the normal human.
    
  • Energy Generation: All that energy has to come from somewhere. This may not give her an unlimited pool of energy to fire from, but it is what overcomes the law of the Conservation of Energy and Mass. The exact amount to has yet to be measured, as she kind of broke the recording equipment when they tried.
  
  Limitations
  
  
  • Always Active: Vicky seems to lack the ability to consciously control her ability apart from closing her eyes. This leads to many obvious and dangerous problems, and requires her to where a limiter all of the time.
    
  • Exhaustion: The energy does not seem to come free, and it certainly does not seem to be efficient. Should she release the energy for too long, she will weaken and tire until she collapses. This has more to do with the strain constant release has on her body than the amount of energy that she can produce. This can improve over time as her body gets used to it.
    
  • Vision Problems: While wearing the limiter, her vision suffers. Namely her peripheral vision takes a major blow. This is tolerable given the alternative, without the limiter, every movement of her eyes changes the direction of the beam meaning that she can not look around freely without risking serious collateral damage. So unless she wants to destroy her surroundings when she is not wearing the limiter, she more or less has to walk around blind.
• Skills
  
  • Common sense: She actually speaks sense! Boring? Perhaps. But it's the logical thing to do. Not that it makes much difference when surrounded by eager and zealous fools...
    
  • Judging: She will judge the crap out of you. And not care if it's "PC". She has a good nose of character, and can use it. While some people might not like what she thinks, it isn't often wrong.
  Flaws
  
  • Restrictive vision: Her limiter severly limits her vision. If something isn't straight in front of her, she won't likely see it. She also has to operate blind without the limiter, and actually has to keep a telescopic cane nearby in case this happens.
    
  • Physical Restrictions: Victoria can't risk limiter faltering. As such, she has to avoid many strenuous or high impact activities. If she has another incident... no telling what the Commonwealth might do to her.
• Visor: [Tool/Limiter] A cumbersome piece of machinery that Victoria has to wear to have a somewhat normal functioning life. Covers the upper half of her face, and restricts peripheral vision. However, this limiter is able to hold back the massive amount of energy coming from her eyes. It is not a high end limiter and was meant for pedestrian use, but was still quite expensive. As such it doesn't come with all the bells and whistles. All it does is keep the beams at bay, and had no way to release them aside from taking it off entirely. It fits securely, and while it can be knocked off, it takes a bit of jostling. It is also fairly shock resistant, and can handle a fair bit of impact without breaking, even though it isn't wise to test it. Finally, it can handle getting wet. A bit of rain is okay, but being submerged is a big no no.

He was working to be helpful. He and I are two out of those three votes. If you want to keep up the attitude that can change. I let the first side comment slide about how I am just a temp but I am not going to continue to take the side jabs. He was working to be helpful and we rushed the process to assist your character getting to play. That can be changed. Lioness075 welian

Also, Manic and whoever else voted for her has already accepted her as she is, so I do not feel as if I need to change anything about her now.

Hey, just a reminder to please put all your approvals from this thread, as soon as you can, in this FORM, as I need to keep track of them via the spreadsheet >w<
I cannot take solely post approvals into account.

 

[Necessity4Fun]

Before I leave for a nap, weli requested this NPC to be the Substitute Mental Discipline Teacher for the Episode. Malikai made a thread for it and I'm not sure people will see it in there (some set up notifs, others haven't), so I'm quoting it here for more people to see and also tagging welian and Teh Frixz
Because, I don't know if it should be in a thread, a PM or something else. I'm just trying to help... *shrugs*

• Positive Personality Trait
  Open-Minded - Leon is always ready to try out something new and step outside of his comfort zone. While this usually meant trying out a new kind of food as a kid it began to apply to various other parts of his life as he grew up. Including when he tried out for ten different school clubs his first year of high school. Just because he's open-minded to trying things doesn't necessarily mean he's open to trying again.
  
  Neutral Personality Trait
  Organized - Leon considers it extremely important that everything in his office has its place and that it can easily be found. The reason for this organization developed from his family's own reinforcement of keeping things organized even when he was a kid. It was because of this that he always made sure to clean and organize his room every night before he went to bed. This also means he takes up time with making sure that something is clean and orderly before considering it okay.
  
  Neutral Personality Trait
  Questioning - Leon is always interested in knowing more about a subject or person. As a kid this meant that he was always asking his parents 'why?' to pretty much every answer they would give him. As an adult this means that he's always interested in other people's lives and how they're doing. Although it can sometimes appear as though he's a little TOO interested in other people's lives.
  
  Negative Personality Trait
  Clumsy - Leon has always been quite clumsy in pretty much every part of his life. From how he would walk and seem to trip every few steps as a child to how as an adult he always seems to be knocking over things and lose his grip on what he's carrying quite often. He also trips every so often as an adult similar to how he did when he was younger.
  
  History
  Leon had a fairly normal childhood growing up in New Orleans. His family was not especially poor or rich economically. Though as a family they did all live in one big house in an extended family situation. As he grew up Leon showed a promise in school and in his social life. Both seemed to be going perfect for him. As he entered middle school he noticed that school seemed to toughen up and some of his friends had grown farther away from him but he still knew that he had a great life and was still appreciative for what he had. When he finally turned eighteen he visited the doctor and under went what he assumed would be a test that would give no results. After the results came in the doctor told him how he apparently had powers he had never known about.
  
  For a long time his parents denied any instance of the powers existing and claimed that he was a normal person just like anybody else. They had test after test done on him in an attempt to prove that the doctor was somehow wrong and that it was a false result from the test. Leon's parents had a doctor cut open the side of his head in an attempt to remove these powers that they still claimed didn't exist. However a mistake by the doctor accidentally increased the actual power that he had. Although Leon had been surprised by both his powers and his parents reaction to it he resolved that he could just continue on with what he planned to do in life. In this case, it was teaching.
  
  Several years later after completing college he contemplated on where he might get a job. After being told by his professor that there seemed to be a shortage of teachers on the East Coast he headed for there to begin his search for a job. Through one person to the next he found his way to a person who offered him a position at Digital Harbor High School for several years. Eventually he found a more qualifying position as a substitute teacher in the Baltimore area.
• Other Character's Name
  Leon's Family - Leon hasn't seen or talked to his family in a few months, but aside from this they remain a steady and healthy relationship.
• Telekinesis
  Leon has the power of being able to lift and move objects with his mind. It's a fairly simple power that he has found to have quite a few annoying but reasonable limitations.
  
  Limitations
  
  
  • Weight Limit: Leon can not lift an object that weighs any more than 500 lbs.
    
  • Touch Limit: Unless Leon has touched the object he can not lift it. However if he's touched his coffee cup and it's sitting away from him he can still levitate it over to him.
    
  • Life Limit: Leon can not lift anything that is living. This means animals, plants, etc.
• 
  
  Excellent at Football: Both variants of football he is great at playing.
  
  Speed Reading: Leon can read through a five page paper in less than 15 minutes. Which is something that he has found extremely useful for his career.
  
  Indecisive: He's only indecisive at insignificant decisions, yet sometimes he may take a few minutes to decide which color he should use to grade assignments or various other similar decisions.
  
  Always Sings Along to A Song: Even when he doesn't know the song he still will attempt to sing along to it, often resulting in various embarrassing exchanges.
  

 

[ManicMuse]

It seems wrong to approve one without the other. I don't know what I am suppose to be looking for with these Commonwealth folk. Its a little more straight forward on the student requirements. I am worried I am going to let some major thing slide that is important for their play in the story line but they honestly look good to me.

D. Rex just check over that history first paragraph. Few simple letters got switched. Can I get a character flaw or just general skill weakness on him too?

B Bag o Fruit is he going to be a bad guy or just crazy? I know you want to tweak him, should I hold off on an approval vote until you look him over again?

  Notes

• Punctual
  Never one to miss a deadline, unless it's a lunch date or an appointment with an underling or some other noise. His paperwork is almost infallibly submitted on time and complete.
  
  Detached
  Billy carries himself above most other people, usually caught up in thought. He generally finds it easy to ignore those around him, preferring 'the more immediate intelligent company'.
  
  Manipulative
  When he isn't able to make something he wants happen on his authority alone, he has a questionable habit of going behind backs and over heads, an incentive here, a lie there.
  
  Wrath
  It's exceedingly easy to make Billy angry, and his response is almost completely unpredictable. He could blow up in a rant or string of exuberant insults, or set in motion a master plan of vengeance.
  
  History
  Petrovich was born to fairly wealthy parents. He had two brothers, who both died when he was young. His mother fell into a haze of depression for many years before joining his father in simply denying they had ever had more than one child. Billy graduated high school at the age of fourteen, received a doctorate at twenty. Commonwealth offered him a job as a lab tech, and within a year he was managing the north-east branch of testing.

  Scarlett: "She thinks she's all that, but one schizoid whore with a sniper rifle dropped her bleeding on the pavement.

• Skills
  
  • Creativity: Many unorthodox problems have met their end at the hands of Billy's unorthodox solutions.
    
  • Intellect: Ranking in the top ten percent of E-ranks in terms of intelligence, Billy is vastly cleverer than the average person.
    
  • Authority: Billy's position in Commonwealth frequently comes in handy, whether he's accessing information or needs a lackey to stand on the big red X for just a second.
    
  • Conviction: Nothing stops Billy from achieving a goal. Nothing.
  Flaws
  
  • God Complex: In an age filled with men and women who can fly to Mars, crush cities, all but raise the dead... Billy has taken it into his head that he is the Übermensch. This happened even before he was appointed the Senior Superhuman Testing Overseer.
    
  • Creepy: He has a stare that just makes you want to go home and hide your loved ones.
• Gyroscopic Heat-Seeking Duodecahedron Ass-Kicker: [Weapon] A twelve-sided polyhedron with inner workings that automatically seek warm blood and then try to crush that blood out of its owner. Also it explodes.
  
  S.P.I.K.E: [Weapon] Sparring Partner I, w/ Kinetic Enhancements. It's not the best Commonwealth has to offer; that would be Billy. But if you need to keep a hand-to-hand fighter busy, it isn't bad. The rocket thing is kind of amusing, he'll admit.
  
  Goliath: [Weapon] Ohohohoho hell yes. Standing at 8.5 meters, weighing 5466.72 kilograms, exterior hull of reinforced magnesium alloy and even more joints and fine motor control than a human of its size, this awesome hulk of machinery is what Billy will ride to his throne at the end of days sure is his favorite toy. Or it was until some seventeen-year-old shit broke it. But then he made some... modifications. Commonwealth signed and retains the paperwork on these modifications. Somewhere.

  Notes
  His sense of style can best be described as "too casual to be taken seriously".
• Understanding
  Huck is a very friendly fellow, and it helps as a person in his field tends to work with a lot of children and teenagers. He may not have super powers himself... but he has seen it all. And has witnessed many of the struggles they go through. As such, it is easy for him to empathize with them, as he works to help them the best he can. It helps that he is a man who really appreciates life.
  
  Mild Mannered
  Huck is a gentle soul, mostly. Sure he can have a bit of a mischievous side, but it is always lighthearted in nature. Anyway, he is a very calm individual. He tackles his job and his life at his own pace, and doesn't ever really seem to get flustered when things do not go his way.
  
  Thinking outside the (Schrödinger's) Box
  It would not be unfair to call Huck a crackpot scientist sometimes. As there have been plenty instances where he has put out some pretty outlandish theories. But you know what? Oh well. Plenty of scientists are out there doing the same damn thing. Huck is the type to challenge conventions and think outside the box. Nothing ventured nothing gained. He is more than willing to entertain whatever ideas come his way, be they wild or mild. After all, sometimes, a solution can be found just by looking at the problem a different way.
  
  Filthy Casual
  List It would be unfair to call him lazy. He did complete quite a bit of school in after all. But he can be a bit... disorganized. His desk his a mess, his hair is a mess, his tie is a mess, (his car is clean though) his clothes are normally untucked and a bit wrinkled. Note: Messy, not dirty. He is clean. He just seems to act like he is at home. It isn't unlike him to eat a bag of chips while testing a student, or put his feet up on the desk, or other such casual nonsense. It is very easy not to take his overly casual demeanor seriously.
  
  History
  Huckleberry came from an unimportant town from one of the Midwestern states. Kansas to be precise. There is not much importamce to be explain here, as he lead a fairly normal life. Middleclass. Had decent parents. No serious run ons with dangerous supers or villains. Just a kid growing up in the flatlands. Yet just because his early life wasn't very eventful, didn't mean he didn't have passions. One such passion was supers. And like many a kid with appreciation for wondrous things and awe towards the marvels of the universe, he wanted to grow up to be a scientist. So that is what he did. Growing up, he may have struggled a bit in school, slacking off as any young man might, but he did eventually get into college. Taking what classes he could to specialize in the understanding of supers.
  
  Yet... over the years of listening to professors and studying books and all that sciency jazz. His mind would always churn out so many innane or insane questions. What if's. Why's. What about's. Coulda's and woulda's. Normally this wouldn't be seen as a bad thing, but for him it was cranked up to eleven. Needless to say he got in a bunch of peoples nerves pretty quickly. Leading to him being brushed away on many occasions... yet did this stop him? Of course not. Then we wouldn't have a character. No. Instead he started applying his own knowledge to what questions they couldn't answer.
  
  This lead him to his real passion, discussing things which nobody really understood. Things people couldn't really figure out. And in this field, such things were too many to count. And he loved it. The applied biology quickly took a backseat at the wonderful prospects of the theories and paradoxes that littered the realm of superhuman science.
  
  His passion for the subject did not go unnoticed. It was do to one of the few professors that actually humored him, that helped land him his job with the Commonwealth. Thus his application was submitted as soon as they handed over his doctorate. Though he was still seen as a bit of a kook among the government scientists, he did his job well enough that they considered it only a minor quirk.
  
  A few years later, after some troubling incidents in Baltimore and a scientist being fired, the Commonwealth decided to change their tactics in that area. They needed a few good men (or women) to try and help things along. One of the scientists was Dr. Kingston, recommended for his close work with the supers of Facility 256, and his gentle and unflappable nature they hoped to deal with the angstiest of the edgy and the wildest of the crazy that Baltimore seemed to spawn. So it was, that he got a personal call from Scarlet, and was sent out Baltimore for this project for an indefinite amount of time. That was fine by him. Kansas was getting boring and Baltimore, judging from the news, certainly seemed like a lively place.

  CLASSIFIED (Just kidding. He doesn't really have any relationships of note)
• 
  
  N/A
  
• Skills
  
  • Biology : The meat and potatoes of his college years, and what he received his doctorate in. He has a broad knowledge on the matter, and talks about supers with gusto.
    
  • Physics: While not his specialty, he focused his studies here on their applications with supers and limiters.
    
  • Engineering: In part, applied physics. But Huck has studied the workings and fabrication of limiters for his job via training programs in the Commonwealth.
    
  • Theory: His favorite! This is what Huck would say he specializes in. And there is nothing he loves more than thinking up and testing theories.
    
  • Devil's Advocacy: Hand in hand with theory, Huck likes to debate what is "common knowledge". Just because it is scientific doesn't mean there is nothing to be gained by questioning it.
    
  • Zoology: A subsect of his biology studies. Huck has studied many animals, especially given that there are many bestiary say users out there. While he dropped out of this class, it's subject matter has proven invaluable.
    
  • Botany: Like zoology, it has helped him understand certain powers, and he had dropped it as a class. However gardening is one of his main hobbies.
    
  • Psychology: Another class he took. While he didn't get into the annoying confusing advanced subjects of it, he has a good understanding of it. And it in part has helped him work with a lot of people. Namely, many supers and what psychological problems they might have to deal with.
    
  • Brainstorming: Any scientist worth his salt is good at this. And Huck thoroughly enjoys a good brainstorming session.
    
  • Self-defense: He isn't a martial artist, but he is packing and knows how to use it. He isn't so naive as to know that working with supers isn't without its risks. Just because he has a gentle soul doesn't mean he shouldn't be able to protect himself.
  Flaws
  
  • No Plot: Kingston is a for all intents and purposes an NPC. I have no desire or plans for him to be involved in plots of his own.
    
  • No spotlight: Kingston is here to make you look good and explore your char, and not made to have any spotlight on him. A veritable narrative jebrony.
• Gun: [Weapon] Standard issue.

Not napping yet >w<
The scientists are for a side thread welian requested. It's literally going to be a testing thread for new players (and some of the old ones too if they want), put their characters' powers (and how they write them), to the test before hopping in the main plot. Or something like that.
Hope that clears some of your doubts!

Ahhh, context helps so much! Then yes these guys look great.
