GUIDELINES
TLDR; Guidelines for your characters
— Your character's age is 20 and above.

— Your character had joined a spelunking group. Whether this was simply a casual interest or a passion of theirs is dependent on you. During one trip with this group, you all discover the Wishonomicon and it grants you power. Regardless of how you reacted about this knowledge, you took it sincerely and made an earnest wish for some power that depends on you.

— Your powers must be related, even if loosely, to your wish.

— While your true power is great, please refrain from world-ending powers. (ie. planetary manipulation, time manipulation, etc.) If I were to give an example for what the ceiling could be, think terraforming or mass teleportation.

— Your character has misused that power of theirs and caused great damage. The scale is dependent on you.

— This misuse of power, whether intentional or accidental, has led to your current situation underground.

— Your characters isn't necessarily evil, (though you have the option to make them so.) Rather, they're people who were given far too much power and failed to rise up to the responsibility.

— At the start of the roleplay, your character's abilities are locked. You can only access power vaguely resembling it. (ie. A wished for the power to protect, and so, they were granted the power to indestructible shields that could return all damage to the one who had intended to harm. However, because their abilities are locked, A can create prisms that can stave off a single attack before flickering away.)


—★ Who were all of you before you became the Zodiacs?
All of you were members of the local spelunking group. Some of you may have tagged along because a friend or a spouse had. Others simply couldn't avoid the allure of it all. The reason doesn't really matter; what does matter is that all of you have grown close(r) because of it.

During one of your usual trips into the cave, the expedition leader discovered an unreported crevice that led into a strange alcove filled with even stranger trinkets. One of which was a strange and ancient slab of stone. It was quickly recovered by the party and brought to the surface for the rest of your group to see.

However, as you passed the tablet up for inspection, minor details seemed to pop up into your head as your findings were sifted through. The deep and ancient carvings. It's intricate but precise design. And then it hits you: in poems lost to time, the Wishonomicon.

This information is disclosed to the rest of the crew, but none of you seem to take it seriously. Not yet, at least. Still, one of you decides to rile the rest of you to jokingly wish upon the stone. And you did.

It is only much later that you find out that the Wishonomicon was no myth at all. But the you right now, the one who awoke from a thousand years of sleep, are unaware of this.

—★ How much do you remember?
Not much, truthfully. Though there are recollections about the world before it collapsed—of the people you had loved and cared for, of your passions and your fears, of your favourite haunts—they're still vague in nature, and can be, at times, unreliable. The only memory completely clear of ambiguity was the night you had gathered around a campfire and wished upon the Wishonomicon.

.personality.
Passion is good, but in Xavier's case, it's often overblown.

Always on the cusp of inventing anything kooky, he often spends a majority of his time studying. During then, ideas float to him and, are, oftentimes, so ridiculously bizarre that you can't quite tell if he's completely serious or not in his belief on it.

Most of the time these studies do not amount to anything, as Xavier can easily fall into burnout from overworking himself onto that investigation, thus resulting in a very wonky and flighty pattern when concerning his activity. On the times that he does manage to pull through and finish the job, it comes out near-perfect save for a few flaws here and there.

When choosing to converse with him during those times though, it can be well...hectic is one way to put it. If you interrupt him too early in his studies, he can appear dishevelled, manic from the high he's worked himself into during the development of his research. Too late, however, and you might find, instead, depressed, too dysfunctional to even hold a conversation with you. Either way, it's a lost cause if you need to talk to him in those periods.

Outside of those (frequent) instances, he's a friendly guy! With maybe a flaw or two. No, wait, three?

Okay, maybe five. But at least he's got the spirit?



.brief background.
Leading a life of monotony, Xavier could never really find a way to break out of that mould. He was always one to look down, to simply go through the motions, to ignore the mundanity of his existence.

If there was one notable thing about him, it would be his aptitude for the sciences, specifically those that concerned human biology. All of a sudden, those who once glazed over his meagre life now renewed interest in him. Friends, classmates and teachers came forward to marvel at his newfound affinity.

Having always been one to disappear beneath a crowd, this new strange world that was brought forth filled him with a high he'd never experienced before. He was at the top of his game. Like nothing could ever push him down again. Unstoppable.

But, as with any high, what comes up must come down; the euphoria was but a fleeting moment, ephemeral to the sands of time. He couldn't let it end. No, he didn't want to be locked in the closet again. And so, in a last ditch effort to retain his past glory, he clung to his past admirers, looking to gain their favour once more.

And it worked, at least for a while. He came to spend the majority of his years in high-school near those said people, no matter the circumstance. Whether it was skipping classes or attending the occasional midnight surprise party, Xavier was there, cherishing the moments in between.

Time passed blissfully, and then, college exams. Soon the bustle of the school magnified into a frenzy as the classes sought out to study for college. Being the self-confident brat that he was however, Xavier instead continued to cling on like a parasite was to its host, holding on for dear life and hoping that the ride may never stop. The results of the finals came out in the end, and Xavier looked on with gleaming eyes as his gaze searched before coming upon... a rejection?

His heart crumpled into a tiny ball, imploding in on itself until it condensed into a single point. He sought out support from his friends, but much to his dismay, he was denied their company.

"Sorry, maybe next time? We're kinda full here," they smiled apologetically.

Full?

There was a large empty space in the backseat where he could've been. Instead, he gritted through his teeth, and curled his mouth through the red filter. Disillusioned by his predicament, he scorned those who abandoned him so easily. Was all of their time together...for nothing?

A few weeks after the graduation, Xavier set off into the world under the pretence that he was at college, hoping to achieve some minutiae of recognition elsewhere. His efforts would be realized one year later, when he found that mysterious tablet.



.current ability.
Stasis

.description.
Xavier can temporarily stop the 'time' of something/someone, so long as it's caught by the soft glow that can manifest at his will.

.limitations and drawbacks.

xxxxx ─ ★ At the moment, his ability can only activate upon physical contact, as the glow he manifests is rather small.

xxxxx ─ ★ This power, while seemingly omnipotent, is not without its cons. Activating this power for longer than a second is enough to jumpstart his body's entropy and force it into turbo drive; his body, once that of a spry young man at the prime of his life, quickly ages into that of a middle-aged man in the blink of an eye. If he were to exceed his limits, he might find himself permanently stuck in such a state.

xxxxx ─ ★ However, usually, the former isn't likely to occur. So long as Xavier doesn't push himself to that point, he'll eventually revert back to his original form after an hour or two. The sudden onset of age might appear to have simply been a trick of the eye to the others, nothing but a mirage, but Xavier knows better. His body remembers those aches and pains, his joints creaking... This usually lasts for three days, though there might be cases wherein it lasts longer.

AGE 27
GENDER female
ZODIAC SIGN scorpio
SEXUALITY bisexual but leaning towards men

APPEARANCE [x][x][x] 5'9/175cm & 125lb/57kg
MISCELLANEOUS FEATURES aimee wears a single earring on her right ear and nothing on the left, but it's difficult to tell by the volume of her hair. on her neck [x] is a tattoo of red spider lilies that's also usually covered by her hair.

VICES neurotic | impatient | apathetic | detached | anti-committment | secretive | isolated
VIRTUES smooth talker | confident | elegant | charming | competent | devoted | persistent | passionate
PERSONALITY wip
BRIEF BACKGROUND sacrifice is the greatest way to express your love for someone. at least that's what aimee was taught by her parents. immigrants from korea, they constantly reprimanded their canadian-born daughter about everything she did. it didn't matter that aimee was consistently placed first in her class, a musical and creative genius, and completely flooded with achievements and trophies. the blood, sweat, and tears she poured into being the best of the best could never help her become her parents' ideal child.
years of verbal and emotional abuse wore down on aimee. her parents constantly degraded and openly voiced their disappointments without a care. after all, they had sacrificed everything for their child to have a better life by moving to a country. in their eyes, the bare minimum for aimee was to be the best at everything. by constantly reminding aimee that their sacrifice for her years ago was a representation of how much they loved her, the idea that sacrifice was love sunk deep into her soul.
it dictated everything even when aimee moved far, far away from her parents to go to college. a natural beauty, she entered into a fair share of relationships with anyone who could provide a semblance of real love, not the type her parents held over her head. they all began the same, with lots of adoration and desire, but as her relationships began crumbling, aimee started sacrificing bits and pieces of herself more and more to keep them afloat. her body was first, then her emotions and mind. she turned to spelunking as a sort of therapy and relief as each of her relationships eventually fell apart, but while she made many friends, it wasn't enough. her grades began slipping, and she moved away from the arts and being the best of the best. aimee didn't even look for love anymore. all she needed was to satisfy her physical needs with no strings attached. after all, strings mean committment and committment means sacrifice.

CURRENT ABILITY honey talk | persuasion
DESCRIPTION when in conversation range, the words of the user become a very persuasive "suggestion". this suggestion is generally followed by the target no matter what it is.
LIMITATIONS AND DRAWBACKS
Force of Will - if the target possesses a strong will, they may be able to resist aimee's wiles and commands. this causes a recoil of sorts to affect aimee, and she will end up with bloody noses, intense coughing fits, and other adverse health effects that may or may not require medical attention depending on the difference in mental fortitude between aimee and her target.
Focus on Me - honey talk is a single target ability. if one target is under the influence, aimee must release that target to persuade another, or her words won't work. it is impossible for her to control two or more targets.
Long Distance Relationships - there is no set distance in regards to honey talk. as long as the intended target can hear aimee, the suggestion will go through. however, distance matters. the closer aimee is to them, the more intense and strong the ability. the persuasiveness of a sensually whispered command is probably hundreds of times stronger than something spoken at arm's length.
Give You All of Me - sacrifice is the name of the game. whenever aimee gives out a command, something deep within her feels like it's being rended apart. the more extreme the command, the more intense the pain and sensation. this prevents her from commanding others to rob, steal, or even kill themselves. most of her commands are extremely miniscule as a result, such as getting someone to let her borrow something or cut in line, since the sensation is faint.

NAME
Renea Gratiano, nicknamed Ren
AGE 21
GENDER Female
ZODIAC SIGN Aquarius
SEXUALITY Originally heterosexual. Though after going through various trips with this group, could be viewed as ambiguously bi

APPEARANCE: Pic ,
Height: 5'1'' (152 cm) Weight: 87 lbs (39 kg)
MISCELLANOUS FEATURES Ren has a petite and thin figure and is shorter than average Asian woman despite not even being Asian herself. Her sense of fashion is also kinda... idiosyncratic. If she's not wearing some masculine outfits for practical use, or something she has seen someone else worn in the past, then expect all hell to break loose as she choose her own clothing.

VICES [In bullet point format is enough. Minimum of 3. Add more if you'd like.]
- Apathetic
- At times, can be stupid and lack common sense
- Ruthless
- Lacks self-control

VIRTUES [In bullet point format is enough. Minimum of 3. Add more if you'd like.]
- Quick-witted
- Determined
- Loyal

PERSONALITY
In the past, Ren was being deemed a talentless outcast by the head of her own family and treated with contempt, to the point where violently bullying and abusing her simply to relieve stress is encouraged. As a result, she became a quiet, weak and lonely girl who had to come up with a defensive mechanism like adopting an extreme apathetic mindset to prevent any serious psychological condition. By apathetic, she absolutely paid no mind to whatever had been done to her, had no personal opinions on anything and was fully obedient to the point where she once stripped herself in a classroom because her abusers said so. Her life continued to be like that for years until she met that boy. The boy who stood in the way of a prodigious kid with a big family name just to defense some stranger that didn't even defend herself.

To the girl who casually said "I don't need to think since I can just listen to them" his "Then don't listen to them! Listen to me!!" had reawakened her humanity. Throughout her high school years, Ren became absolutely loyal to him and actually tried her best to fulfil his requests, including harder ones like fighting back and thinking more for herself. After successfully deciding on something big like running away from her family and joining him in travelling the world, she was, for some reason, intensively taught by him about self-defense and something something that shouldn't be taught by a high schooler. After finishing her course, Ren became capable of brutally killing someone she just met and was complimented by him to be quick-witted, possibly thanks to how she normally had no trivial thoughts in mind and was able to reach an essential conclusion faster than ordinary people. In addition, she learned that violent was somehow enjoyable and was one hell of a stress-reliever, just like those who bullied her said to her in the past...

After suddenly losing him, she upheld his words and tried to live on without him. A few days after being told by him that she won't enjoy the activity like spelunking, she is now actively doing it on her own. A few months after being told by him that she lacks humor, she is now able to naturally tell jokes and play pranks on others while also not losing any friends. A few years after being told by him that she is so stupid for not having any personal desire, she now has a lot of things she wants and will try her best to earn it "without holding back" like he kept saying. Then, there's just something that she can't afford even with her best effort...

Something that requires a miracle.

BRIEF BACKGROUND
Despite how big and famous her family name was, Renea Gratiano deeply detested it. During her childhood, she showed talents at nothing. Study, sport, music, business, politics, not even game. Since this twisted family was ambitious enough to hire countless private tutors just to make their kids become a top dog at something, Ren quickly became their black sheep and grew up without knowing what a true familial love is. When she was 16, she enrolled in a new high school, only to face the same bullying she always suffered. Since the big perpetrator was none other than the one who share her prestigious family name, no one dared to oppose him.

No one, except that boy.

To Ren, whose life before that absolutely had no meaning and allies, he was more than just a classmate or a lifesaver. 3 years in school passed with Ren ended up running away from her house and family on the graduation day as she planned with him. The next 2 years were spent traveling around the world with him. During this time, she enjoyed a lot, learned a lot and gained a lot.

Unfortunately, life is short, especially when it's a happy life.

Spelunking was something he was recently into. A few months prior to the Wishonomicon trip, they went into a ruin inside the large cave, just the two of them as he insisted. Ren had no clear recollection of the events within that place, but the next thing she knew, she was rescued from the collapsed cave with the man who was her only family declared dead by the team that rescued her. Due to that incident, she became a shattered glass, though it was much better than an empty glass like she had been before meeting him. Always being taught by him to think for herself what she wants the most and then follow through with it, Ren stayed with the spelunking group that the two of them were part of. During those few months, she was able to move on, lived an ordinary life and spent a slightly less happy than usual but still happy time with the group.

Until her life was hit with yet another drastic change...

CURRENT ABILITY
- Aqua Treasury - Water manipulation & crafting

DESCRIPTION
Ren can control nearby water, manipulating their movements and shaping them into objects of choice. She can also alter physical characteristics of the created object like color or rigidity.

LIMITATIONS AND DRAWBACKS
Ren can only move and shape water in liquid form. At the start of story, her manipulation range is limited to only a few meters around herself. An object made by her ability can maintain its form beyond this range without requiring her constant manipulation. However, Ren need to apply said "permanent" property at the object's creation process, so anything she made in a rush won't be able to stay outside of her range. Also, a number of target she can apply this property to is limited.

ADRIEN - ARIES
“What the fuck are you looking at?"

—★ PUBLIC INFORMATION
NAME: Adrien Fortis
AGE: 28
GENDER: Male
ZODIAC SIGN: Aries
SEXUALITY: Fluid

APPEARANCE
aRpbtANXzgw7LlQugvMrVqhhD1Y4VQvVVau2DBgu_5bCi8EKwXqlJKSbxyArHG5U5A9vmCpws-xH1fCvAHM5_edeuE2naFOfUUqDz2vEGbHrdL4kKJx6-A2G6BZqaZElKtXSlHzS

MISCELLANEOUS FEATURES: The piercings and tattoos visible on Adrien’s face and arms extend to underneath his clothing.
FACECLAIM: “Song Jihyun” by Oryu

VICES

  • Aggressive, sadistic
  • Lust
  • Gluttony - overindulging in everything from alcohol to people.
VIRTUES
  • Loyal
  • Determined
  • Brave
PERSONALITY
Adrien considers himself a leader; he’s assertive, controlling, and knows what he wants. If someone is not with him, they’re against him, and are thus considered being in the way. Simultaneously guarded and transparent, he’s deeply emotional and wears his different moods openly.

BRIEF BACKGROUND
Adrien grew up with a single father in a neglected trailer park after his mother's passing, learning that a pretty face and hard fists would get you further in life than any amount of proper work ever could - especially when the system seemed to actively work against you. At an early age he joined a gang, and quickly rose through its ranks to become its leader at age 23. Going through a vast number of boyfriends and girlfriends, drinking fine wines and eating rare meats coupled with mountains of coke, he developed a taste for the “finer” things in life, and thoroughly enjoyed the look of fear people expressed when he entered a room.
Being part of the spelunking team was, for Adrien, an effective workout - and though he'd vehemently deny it, some part of him truly believed that they could find something amazing on one of their excursions.

CURRENT ABILITY: Power blood.
DESCRIPTION: By increasing the flow of nutrients and oxygen in his own blood, Adrien is able to become especially strong and fast for a period of time. By instantly being able to form white blood cells into clots, he can also speed up healing processes and seal minor wounds.
LIMITATIONS AND DRAWBACKS: After using the ability, Adrien becomes extremely weak for a while. He also experiences “dark flashes” stemming from blood rushing away from his brain.
Power blood does not make him inhumanly strong or fast, only enhances his own physical abilities.

history









Lex was born the second child of two professors, the surprise child where his older sister Amy's birth had been meticulously planned just two years prior. Though he was a surprise he was never treated as such, being spoiled and pampered all through his youth. As a result, Lex was a bit of a... brat as a child though no one quite had the heart to tell him so. The Wang family was extremely tight-knit, and so Lex grew up very close with both his parents and Amy. While they were young, Lex and Amy weren't merely 'siblings', they were also best friends, the closest confidantes one another had. Though this relationship would dwindle a bit in importance once Amy entered formal schooling, vestiges of their former closeness still persisted up until Lex joined her.

Once Lex entered school, his idea of Amy shifted. She was his big sister, yes, but now she was also his biggest competition in everything, the single person he both admired and avidly strove to be better then. This mentality was part born from all of his teacher's insistence on comparing him to the older girl in every classroom he entered, vocalizing their admiration for the 'little genuis' he had the fortune of being related to. Though initially, Lex took the comparisons as a challenge to be better, do better, that was quite the difficult task as Amy tended to excel with little effort in most everything academic-wise. Where Amy could give 10% effort in something and still manage to rise above the pack score-wise, Lex always had to give 110%. And even when he did try his hardest and manage to eclipse even Amy, he was still always just "Amy Wang's little brother", a title he not begin to hate. And overtime, this begin to build resentment within him towards the older girl.

While in the beginning Lex's turn to athletics, particularly soccer, was merely to find some distance from the now inevitable comparisons to the other girl, it quickly became a prime interest of his. After all, he got really, really good very quickly and the attention he garnered as a result was only an added plus. Though the odds of getting a soccer scholarship in the U.S. were quite low, Lex stubbornly held onto the sport all through early middle into high school, and was rewarded for his persistence with that elusive scholarship. The idea of playing professional seemed no longer to be merely a fever dream nor a bad idea as his parents had called it. This opportunity gave credibility and well as substance to his dream, and so a newly invigorated Lex entered college with the full intention of doing the best he could,... and was quickly crushed with a harsh blow of reality from a well-meaning enough source...

PERSONALITY:
Assae on the outside looks like a laid back African American person but inside they are a deeply aware and nurturing person. A person often contemplating life and enjoying the simple things in it. Or perhaps someone who appears to lack passion and is content to be stagnant in life.

BRIEF BACKGROUND:
Assae was the first born child in their big family. Immigrants from a small fishing village in Jamaica. Coming to America was something of an amazing whirlwind dream to her. She savored everything there was to see or hear or smell. Whether it was or not it all seemed new and different in America. Mostly her family was happy her mother and father were happy and loving. It was a great time for them to have another child. So Assae became a big sibling just like that. They were so excited for the baby to come. It was a boy. Their little brother was a cutie with chubbie cheeks brown eyes and thick lips. He looked at her and smiled then laughed and from there she was caught. She tried to be the best big sibling ever.

As the years went by their parents had three more children. And it was Assaes job to help them all as best they could. It was all good until Assae was 12. While she was rounding up some of the kids to head to the park across the street one of the young ones slipped past her vision unable to hold back their excitement for a moment longer they ran into the street and was the victim of a fatal accident.
Her parents never blamed them but they blamed themselves. That incident truly changed her life and how she looked at life itself. During the long time of mourning she tried her best to make up for it by becoming her family's emotional pillar and by taking their pain and burdens onto herself. She never wanted to see her family in so much pain ever again, and to be the cause of it sometimes felt too much for her to bear. She didn't like leadership roles that could put a heavy responsibility on her shoulders. She was terribly afraid of something similar happening and did her best to shirk physical responsibilities as much as she could. Listening, empathizing, and helping in small ways was as much responsibility as she felt she could take. From this incident as a child it also made her realize that no one was promised a tomorrow however and that all the life she has should be spent in wonder and truly appreciating those around her. Her high school life was mostly uneventful, she continued in her role as a sounding board or a shoulder to cry on. She felt emotionally connected to them and tried her best to turn their negative into a positive. She lived life mostly one day at a time. And continued this through until it was time for college. She wasn't the dumbest or the brightest, possibly because she didn't feel grades were all that important. It wasn't actually her Idea to become a therapist. It sorta simply happened.


CURRENT ABILITY [The lowest level of your true ability (ie. Fire generation as the current ability, Meteor summoning as the true ability.)]
Current Ability:
> Emotional Contract


DESCRIPTION [Self explanatory. Describe how your power works and what it does.]
- You can form a bond with someone (though this is limited to people who actually like you), thus allowing you the ability to rob them of their sensitivities to pain.

BRIEF BACKGROUND
Brindle was born the second and last child to her parents. She went from a cheerful toddler to a studious and serious child. She had one best friend from years 3 to 9 - some childhood feud split the giggling girls apart and neither attempted to reconcile even long after they'd forgotten what the fight was about. In the midst of her childhood friendlessness Brindle announced that she didn't need friends, because her brother was her best friend; to which he responded 'I'm not your friend, I'm your brother,' she took immediate and eternal offense.

Brindle continued her friendless existence right up until she entered college, then, she incidentally, joined a local spelunking group as a motivator to help herself lose weight and keep in shape. Shape? Maybe. Loss? Not so much. However, she did find herself on going on more and more expeditions, excited about the rich history and legends surrounding the caves. Though... Actually exploring the caves, was, maybe not her most favorite part about being in the group. She liked the sense of belonging it brought even if she was a fish out of water on many excursions.

By the time she'd gotten her Master's in Library Science she'd become a long-term member of the group. Though she kept her eye out for better job opportunities while working in the local library, she'd found herself stuck in the area for the time being; she didn't mind biding her time on her way to becoming an archivist.

Despite this having been her life, Brindle only remembers one night and one night only.

The night she and her spelunking team wished upon the Wishonomicon. She remembers it in every vividly detail... all of it, except - who were these people? They looked like people, but she felt they were something other. some kind, of obstacle. And yet, she was joking just as much as they were.

When Brindle catches some vague notion of her past life she quickly tries to occupy her time with something in the present. She doesn't want to recall whatever it was that made her who she is. The happiest times hurt most, as she feels she can never return to them.
