Specters Character Creation

It's time to join the world of Specters. But before you do, here are several rules:

Please stick with one of the four major gangs for now. We’ll be creating our own gang somewhere down the line. You character does not need to go to the school a gang’s affiliated with to be part of a certain gang. Your character also does not need to fit into the stereotypes of the gang that they're in.

Maximum of one major power as of right now, and your character must be a Class 1 Specter if they have powers. And please, make your power unique and interesting. Nobody likes cliches.

Your character does not need to be an age where they’re in High School. The gangs aren't comprised of just high school students. But please, cap the age somewhere around 35.

I don't expect an essay every time, but put plenty of details into every post, perhaps a paragraph. I understand there are times when one liners are necessary, and that's fine, but the rest of the time please try.

I put lots of love and effort into making this RP, and I want to see the same love and effort in each and every form and post I see. Mary Sues are obviously not allowed, and as for your weakness, everyone must have a unique weakness, not a social or broad one that many people might have.

If I ask you to look at or even redo a part of your sheet, please don't take it personally. I want you to have an interesting and interactive character to play, and I'm sure you do too.

Jaden Spear

Titles: Is not currently in SET databases, as only high class Specters are registered. Is known locally as Shock, just from how he fights.

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Affiliation: Poetry

Occupation: Works at Poetry, goes to Windfield High


Personality: Jaden has a warm personality, always willing to listen to others in their time of need and never interrupt. This nice personality helps him mainly with his job, but also when he is gathering intelligence. This personality mostly stems from his easygoing attitude and simple outlook on life: work hard, and have fun on the side. At school he tries not to attract too much attention to himself, but being the kind of person that can naturally make friends with most people acts against him on that accord.

However, all of this pretty much evaporates when he's in the actual underworld of Eden. Because he wants to minimize the chance of recognition, he acts like a machine when he's working for the darker side of Poetry. Of course, being alone with people he knows when exchanging goods or information allows him to just be himself, but Jaden takes great pains to separate his two lives as much as possible.

Bio: Jaden grew up in a fairly normal family, as neither of his parents were Specters. He didn't even realize that he was a Specter himself until both his parents died in a car accident, inadvertently absorbing their newly created spirits to keep himself alive. This experience traumatized him, and got rid of his previously rebellious nature. He survived on the streets for quite some time, doing odd jobs for some smaller gangs here and there, but eventually a situation that arose had him close to death. He was saved and taken in by Mrs. Joy, who runs Poetry.

At Poetry, Jaden eventually decided that he wanted to go to school and get an education. To compensate, he began working at Poetry, even though Mrs. Joy didn't mind paying for his supplies and all. But part of working there was acting essentially as a gang member, making sure that no one tried claiming Poetry as part of their own. Because the shop was not officially a part of any of the major gangs' territories, this wasn't too difficult, especially because there were a couple other orphans like him at Poetry.


Specter: Type 2

Power: Direct Energy Conversion: By contact, Jaden can instantaneously transform one type of energy into another. If used in fights, he can take the kinetic energy of an attack that makes contact with him, and make it his own potential energy, or immediately convert his potential energy into kinetic energy, allowing to move extremely fast. He can also transform other forms of energy, such as being able to be unaffected by heat by simply transforming the heat energy and storing it.

Skills: Conversing, being a waiter, plenty of experience in street fighting, Physics (mostly to use his power). Additionally, he can use his power well enough to win most hand-to-hand conflicts very quickly.

Weaknesses: While he can transform energy, it doesn't increase his stamina, which means that he uses the same amount of stamina in each attack as if he made the motion, whether in real time or not. This means that the more he uses his power, the faster he tires.


Appearance: Has light brown hair that isn't very long, but is slightly wavy. Because most of his time is either spent inside, or outside during the night, he has very pale skin. However, he does have a well built form and full complexion aside from color. He has sky blue eyes, that sometimes are dead serious regardless of his expression, and sometimes dreamy or spacey. He stands at around 6' 2", and is somewhat conscious of his height.

His typical dress includes a thin gray coat with a hood, along with t-shirts that are oftentimes striped and jeans. When he's out during the night, he wears a navy blue jacket with its hood up, along with a black and red checkered scarf to partially conceal his face and black combat boots. He also wears black track pants for mobility.

• 
  Corey is stubborn, straightforward, and non-charismatic. He minds his own business and rarely cares for the personal plights of others'— though not so much out of a lack of compassion, but rather a malignancy of simple disinterest. A capacity to care does exist, only not many people are included. Most are turned away by his habit of entertaining people with short, nondescript answers whenever he can, and with good reason. Very few are tolerant of his often acerbic honesty, and fewer still have the time or energy to wrest conversation from him when he's not interested in participating.
  
  The mote of respect he does retain in the eyes of his colleagues, however, stems from his dutifulness and sheer drive to get things done. If there's further ends to go or another road to take until something can be declared finished, it's near guaranteed Corey will take it. That's not to say, however, that he casts everything away in abandon. A lost cause is a lost cause, and the moment something is deemed as such there is no second chance for it in his eyes. If there is a quicker, more efficient way to accomplish something, it's almost always at the top of the consideration list even if it is a less-than-pristine option. Those that are close enough to know him often find his morally grey compass unsettling.
  
  In other words, an obedient— if ruthless— dog of the SET.
  
• 
  Corey has dark hair which borders on raven black, the length of which strays on the slightly long for male standards. Straight, if moderately unruly, it almost perpetually appears slightly tussled (though the blame may be on Corey's end as he fails to fuss with it.) Brown eyes which appear hazel only upon closer inspection is the sole trait which could be considered striking, as he possesses an average height and a complexion of indiscernible ethnicity. Good-looking in a subdued way, he has a rather fit and lean build courtesy of his lifestyle and and athletic training.
  
  At a glance, however, he appears to be of average strength and fitness, composed of just the right features to make him not stand out particularly well in a crowd. He has a boyish appearance that is disarming to witness despite the disinterested, nonchalant expression he wears most of the time: a look of which is in stark contrast to the riot control-esque uniform he is never seen without.
  
• 
  Corey was supposedly born to Gifted parents, of whom were quickly hunted down by SET during the specter crackdown. Having a high chance of developing the gift himself, he would have been killed as well had a screening not read him as negative. Too young to have formed an emotional attachment to his progenitors, he was instead placed in the care of a SET-aligned relative; a guardian who would double as a careful monitor on him in the case of a spirit haunting, or could dispatch of him should the Gift develop.
  
  He never would, however— but it became evident early on in his schooling years that he was 'gifted' in a different way. While he was neither a genius nor inhumanely talented, he was an adept student with an impressive memory. His guardian, seeing potential and unwilling to see it go to waste, encouraged the development of these skills and seeded within the quiet boy's mind the idea of becoming a SET agent. Time spent toying with simple mechanisms would later become projects, and while really he could have become anything he wanted— he did end up seeking recruitment into SET.
  
  Surviving the grueling training alongside other SET candidates thanks to work and an academic edge, in about the mandated time would he become a General Officer and handed the spirit cage AB 0000.
  
• 
  The spirit cage in Corey's possession is in the classical form of a gun. A weapon which is moderately standard within SET and law enforcement, its only distinguishing factor is its label of AB 0000. Its only augmentation is a razor edge along the slide.
  
  Corey's specialization is in the field of hemokinesis. While he is able to recreate any object which he has studied before, he is only able to manipulate his own blood. Most complex objects (ie. those with mechanical inner workings) are unable to be recreated, unless it's an object which he has taken apart, studied, and put back together in the past. He has trained for the speed and accuracy at which he can form and reform blood constructs, to the standard point at which it becomes instinctual and automatic.
  
  His blood constructs can be of almost any hardness or ductility, and are incredibly durable— however, the quality of these constructs are impacted by his ability to function mentally, and can become impaired and falter momentarily if he is disorientated. Blood must be drawn from him, such as in the form of a cut, in order for him to manipulate it. His blood cannot regenerate instantaneously, however his recovery rate is much quicker than standard.
  
• 
  - Corey has an outstanding memory and spatial reasoning, which is integral to his ability to utilize his hemokinesis
  - It's probably the reason why he was given this particular spirit cage to begin with.
  - Hates bitter food with a burning passion
  - PK = navigating urban environment and obstacles.

[Love of Cyanide]

Losing Myself

Name: Arlan Law

Titles: None

Age: 14

Gender: Male

Affiliation: None

Occupation: Student

Within the

Personality: Arlan at first glance has a 'cute' look about him, which makes it hard to hate him. That is unless you just hate cute kids, which I'm not judging... Sorta. He is a soft-spoken kid, honest though, but not so adaptable. He isn't the most courageous, but most can vouch for him, that he's the most patient person you'd meet. Arlan keeps to himself, most of the time, but he does try to get out and talk... sometimes. Though when Arlan gets angry? He turns into a different person. Angry, sad, envious, a generally angry person. One of his triggers? The Opal Serpent gang.

His parents taught him, "Love and Loyalty is everything right in the world". Which boiled down to being loving and loyal to your friends, siblings, parents. Arlan, being the impressionable child he is, took that to heart. He tries to give everyone he meets a chance, no matter how slobby or scary they are. That is if he can gather the courage to talk to them of course.

Bio: Arlan lived somewhat poorly, but that didn't deter his parents from giving him the best life they could. Of course, this led to debt. Debt to a gang that deals with illicit items and money; particularly the Opal Serpent gang. Of course, they tried to get out of debt their jobs weren't the best, paying mediocrely. The parents knew they wouldn't be able to pay. So they did what they could. They readied Arlan and sent him off to his aunt and uncle on the other side of the city.

Two days later Arlan's parents were found dead within their home. Arlan had coped with it somewhat well, becoming less energetic, and soft spoken. This was probably partially because he had heard his parent's last discussion. Arlan knew it was the Opal Serpents fault. He also knew he couldn't do anything, except be angry. As for how he got his Spirit, he had convinced his new guardians with puppy dog eyes to visit his parents. As he made his way to the graves, he had seen a grove worker finishing with a grave. He supposed it was pity, but he went and gave respect. The soul was still hovering around her grave site moping most likely, and when she saw Arlan giving respect, perhaps she became curious no?

Sky's Aria

Specter Type: 1(SOUL)

Power:
Spirit-Soul - The spirits name is Elizabeth Griselda. The form she has is of her body several years back, A cute dainty blonde of 20 years, with bright emerald eyes. Her hair is cut short, laying around the top of her neck. She has an energetic aura about her and can talk on and on. She is equally as curious as she is bubbly, which led to her demise. That of which she died by looking into an alleyway at the wrong place and time.

Oxygen Manipulation - This power, when he can actually use it, essentially allows him to manipulate oxygen, limitedly. It also super-oxygenates his body, giving him ludicrous strength and speed. As for manipulation, he can pressurize oxygen to make, simple constructs that surprisingly are very sturdy. He can only make simple plates, blocks, or bands of oxygen though. His control spans about 30m, but his power is significantly dulled when trying to manipulate oxygen through other's flesh and his precision isn't the best, making igniting said oxygen difficult. The oxygen he uses, usually turns a bright whitish blue, when in use.

Skills:

• Creativity
• Enhanced Strength via Power
• Puppy dog eyes

Weaknesses:

• Gullible
• Low range
• Simple Constructs
• Low Precision
• Needs his Spirit to cooperate with him

dragonsfire Your form is coming along well, however could you fix some of the broken English? Sometimes it's hard to make out...

icanneon Great twist on the bio, and overall a well made form. No need to fix anything there, unless you want to change anything yourself.

Love of Cyanide You have a good form as well, and this isn't something that I thought should be fixed, but do you want my character to find yours somewhere along the line and invite him to Poetry? It would fit quite well with his story.

Well Arlan is a bit... Delicate(And Innocent). So I hope you don't try to recruit him too strongly... Though that does sound pretty interesting!

Jaden's a nice guy at heart. It should be fine.

Ursa Lazuli

Titles:
Switch (Due to Crime)
Gender: Female
Age: 17
​

"This City Is Nothing Special

Alignment: Jade Pheonix | | Occupations: Homeschool Student | Law Enforcement "Social Management"

.

Ursa, having been

Breaks People Like Anywhere Else"

.

Specter: Type 1 | | Power: Neoplasmic Illsions | | Skills: Gang 'Authority', Sneaky

.

Power: Being in charge of protecting the spectors of the Jade Pheonix from SET, she can cause those with a gift to see things that aernt there. From something as minor to thinking they dropped a pencil, too thinking their being flocked by spirits.
The spirit allowing her to do this is...questionable. Phantom created from nature, being one of mother nature's attempts to create a spirit who could expand the food chain, allowing those with the gift to be more vulnerable. This is done specifically by its ability, which he has found to become stronger due to it feeding off of humans life energy. As such it is very manipulative, for those unable to see spirits it would seem almost like Ursa was in an abusive relationship. If the spirit were to for some reason release her, it would go out of its way to seek out any human with a tumor (gift or not)and drive them to the brink of insanity, leaving nothing left like a wild animal.

 

[Afigitis]

Lilia Jones

Titles: Doll

24, Female, 6", 120lbs.

Affiliation: SET Officer

Occupation: Researcher

Specter: Type 2.

Power: Energy (Spirit) absorption, transference, and redirection

Skills: Having gone through SET training, she's also a good fighter. Excellent hand to hand combat and usage of weapons.

Weaknesses: Her strength drains while using her power thus making her vulnerable. But for years, she was able to make a serum that would boost her strength when needed. But the serum's effect lasts for only ten minutes and sends her unconscious after it's effectivity worns out.

P E R S O N A L I T Y
Lilia's personality is complex. She's a woman of few words but does speak her mind if needed without sugar coating her words. She doesn't like getting into other business not unless she decides it to be her business as well. She doesn't mind the presence of her colleagues but hates it when she's being pried on.

She is smart, calculative, cunning, and does things her way to get the job done with minimum casualties. Her expressionless face makes it even hard to predict what she is thinking and would do next, a disadvantage to her enemy and allies as well.

But once you pique her interest, she'll go all her way to make sure you stay alive until she gets what she wants from you. For her, what matters the most is get the job done in a way that would best benefit her.

B I O
Born in wealth, Lilia had everything. A luxurious house, savory food, loving and hard working parents, or so other people thought so. But Lilia had different experiences behind the perfect family facade, she wasn't pampered as others thought she was and was brought up to be a successor. Right from the day she had her own mind, her parents became somewhat different and since then she was never once treated like a normal girl. She grew up the way they wanted her to be, a doll, a puppet, controlled by her parents.

But little did Lilia know that there was another world different from the one she sees and that all her life was nothing but a lie. The parents she knew of was nothing but mere puppets by the spirits that took hold of their bodies. Her parents being both born as Gifted but were never greedy individuals made the spirits lurking around their house frustrated and tried possessing the parents' bodies until they succeeded and raised Lilia by themselves.

The truth was hidden from Lilia until SET Officers came barging in their house to kill both her parents. Seeing the officers extracting the spirits using force, it triggered something inside of her, a hidden part that wanted to get out - the power that she never knew she had.

She ran to help her mother before the spirit was fully extracted and took hold of the spirit before the officer could. With the power of the spirit that took hold of Lilia's mother, she absorbed the spirits inside the house. During her subconscious release of the power, she was able to redirect the spirits turning them into energy towards the officers thus subduing them. But one officer remained standing - a Senior Officer who decided to spare her life and make use of her power.

That incident was 13 years ago and SET had still little resources back then to handle spirits and specters. Lilia was put under observation after the incident while the Heads talk about her case whether she's a treat or could be used as a tool. Later on, they decided to train and educate her to become a SET officer. Her life was spared but ordered not to talk about her past or any information about her than what is needed or else, she would lose her life with a blink of an eye. The Senior officer back then who's now an Elite Officer remained a close relationship with her and was ordered to eliminate her once she proved herself to be a threat to the organization.

For years of hard training, she was able to control her power. As a Junior Officer, she was able to prove her loyalty and worth by experimenting, researching, and absorbing the spirits energy to transfer them inside spirit cages for the other officers to use. But this process was still unknown to other officers and might have cause an uproar within the organization because of her specter ability. After years of being an excellent Junior Officer, she was promoted as General Officer just recently.​

As per what we talked about, Lilia is fine.

Shander Iza

Titles: Known amidst SET as Paragon. Known amidst the gangs as the Maker (because the joke is, he creates so many spirits).

Age: 26

Gender: Male

Affiliation: SET

Occupation: SET Field Division Elite Officer Three Stars


Personality: Shander is one of the very few people to emit a very strong aura. An aura that calms all those around him and tells everyone he passes by of his collected nature, with subtle hints of the strong confidence underneath. When he walks down the hallway, he doesn’t raise his head high or exude any form of pride, because the stories and rumors that swirl around him have already acted as his herald. Possibly due to his legendary status, when people interact with him briefly he seems polite, however detached and cold.

In reality, Shander is quite kind and somewhat hates his job, as he still sees Specters as people, contrary to the views of most at SET. Those that work close to him, mainly his subordinates, know that he is quite likeable and laughs very easily. He takes care of those that he feels are left out or misunderstood, and does his best to empathize with those around him, and especially those he’s about to fight. Has an annoying habit of buying everyone in his workplace black coffee in the morning, regardless of whether they like it or not.

Bio: Shander simply walked into the District 15 SET Command Center one day, at quite a young age. The only reason he was accepted without training was because he had managed to disarm and knock out every security guard before he entered the building. Very, very quickly, his peers realized that they weren't dealing with someone normal, regardless of how normal he acted around others. Shander became a star within his first few months for his signature style of dismantling even entire gangs alone. What was peculiar about his early missions were that they were all either rescue missions, or capture missions. His kill count remained at 0 for the longest time out of any member.

Then came the decision to promote him to an execution squad. Initially Shander refused, however when he was told to either accept or quit, his superiors were horrified to find that on the first day alone, he had secured over 200 confirmed kills in combat. Since then, he's only been sent to field as a trump card, and has gradually worked his way up to where he is now.


Specter: Type 0

Power: Shander is quite open, so he tells everyone that he has two spirit cages. However, only one has actually been seen in action.

<Decree>
A simple foil, that’s very minimalistic in design and lacking a handguard. The actual blade is also no flexible, and of course it’s missing the ball at the tip that’s seen in most fencing foils. The blade has shown to be extremely durable and frighteningly sharp, as Shander has been seen slicing entire thrown trucks in half with it.
Very rarely does he use its caged functions. The first power that Decree has is the ability to create odd, shadowy bindings around anyone he points the foil at. These bindings are extremely durable, and very hard to break.
If he must absolutely kill his opponent, he can declare a name, and Decree then proceeds to create boundary that blasts everyone out of it except Shander and the declared person, hence the spirit cage’s name. This boundary is impassable, and inside it Shander is much faster and develops extreme resistance to injuries.

Skills: His nickname comes from his almost ungodly presence in combat. There are some theories within both SET and the gangs that he's something more than human, possibly even having the Gift. But aside from combat, he enjoys playing the violin in his spare time, and helping others around the office.

Weaknesses: His refusal to kill can leave a theoretical opening in his defenses, however no one has successfully exploited this weakness yet.


Appearance: Shander has wavy black hair that reaches just past his forehead, and is always perfectly groomed regardless of situation or time of day. The only thing that stands out on his otherwise rather unspectacular face is his green eyes. On the drop of a dime they can change intensity, from being sharp and piercing like the foil he carries, to very soft. Something about him, in part due to the lack of facial hair, makes him appear a lot younger than he actually is. When he's at work, he dresses in a black suit with a red tie. When he's out in the field, he wears a black trench coat with a high collar. The edges are cut into ribbons, and each strip has a sharp blade attached to it. In this field dress, he also wears a black half mask that supplies him with extra oxygen, among other things.

Laurene Mayes

Titles: Known by those she works with as the Loose Cannon.

Age: 23

Gender: Female

Affiliation: Specter Elimination Task-force

Occupation: SET Field Division General Officer


Personality: Laurene’s personality is what her nickname stems from, as she is quite a deviating character. Most of the day, she’s a bit depressed, and must be motivated to get work done. Combined with a snappy and sarcastic attitude that is consistently present, and she’s not someone to get along with easily. Only those that can keep up with her current feelings and constantly try to help her become her friends, and in which case she becomes quite loyal to those people.

However, the reason she hasn’t been fired yet despite her lousy attitude in the office is because of her work on the field. Laurene is one of the few that truly enjoys combat, and she’s in her element when surrounded by the chaos of the battlefield. Laughing, smiling, joking, they all come when she’s simultaneously firing her weapons. In fact, in several battles she has even kept the morale up simply because she’s quite pleasant to be around during conflicts.

Bio: Minimum two paragraphs.


Specter: Type 0

Power: Laurene’s spirit cage is in the form of two Beretta handguns, which each contain half of the same spirit, an oddity among other spirit cages.

<Peacemakers>
Designed mostly to fit her wild style of fighting, these guns never run out of bullets as they reload automatically if there are appropriate clips in vicinity. Because the spirit inside is cut in two, it offers little resistance to the gun’s usage. Aside from this automatic reloading, they can go into a semi-automatic mode aside from single shots, and can also spray a ridiculous number of bullets all at once in a barrage. However, when this barrage functions is used, they go on a short cooldown.

Skills: Even though her fighting style consists of just going Hail Mary, Laurene is a crack shot when it comes to pistols. Besides which, she’s surprisingly good at playing on other people’s sympathies, which lets her get away with more while at the office.

Weaknesses: Is a very stubborn pessimist, and always sees the negative side to everything.


Appearance: Laurene’s dirty blond hair is most of the time organized into straight bangs and two long braids down the back. Her pale face holds her hazel eyes and pout. As far as makeup goes, she only wears a slight neon blue accent to her eyes that helps bring out the myriads of other colors within the depths of her eyes. When she’s at the office, she wears a formal dress shirt along with a knee-length skirt and stockings. Anywhere else, even fighting, she wears a gray jacket with a hood that’s pulled up as she walks around, along with short jeans.
