Okay Sarah is approved but for Vanessa there needs to be a weakness about her Remix Reflexes Staccato ability. Everyone has a music that affects them negatively but they also have an inherent flaw to their abilities to keep them from being all powerful..

Okay, added a weakness to her. Will post once she's approved.

[Valkarma]

@Blackwaltz sorry about not thinking about your approval. I guess I got a little carried away. I be careful from now on.

Sorry again.

[Blackwaltz]

@Valkarma It's alright your character is too great not to use. Now go post!!!

[Light Buster]

@Blackwaltz Okay, edited to have a legitimate weakness and more how her abilities work. Now are you happy?

[Blackwaltz]

@Light Buster I tried but we'll just deal with any issues if they come up. Approved.

[Nitro245]

I will create a Char. Sheet after work today, lunch break is almost over so...

So sorry it's taken this long! ))

Character Name: Ailka (Holic) Murchel

Age: 17

Description:


5’7, dirty blonde hair, washed-out red eyes. Usually wearing her school uniform with a casual jacket, her hair in one or two plaits to keep it out of the way.

Background: Ailka grew up in the cul-de-sac from the age of 2 with her parents and two sisters. It was during hard times at secondary school that Ailka came to coax her Staccato abilities into use. Like many students she was bullied and alienated simply because she wasn’t popular enough, smart enough or loud enough to fall into any category worthy of attention. A usually quiet and withdrawn girl she’d spend most of her free time alone in the classroom with her MP3 loaded with soulful and emotional music; having an awful voice herself she would lip-sync and sway to her heart’s content.
After a particularly crushing day she was playing a track, the music splitting into layers of vocals, violins, guitar and mix board. Lip-syncing to the words her spirits were lifted… as was she. Dancing a step around the classroom, the music swelled to a high held note and she was suddenly launched into the air. Startled she threw her hands out to brace her fall and ended up splitting the teacher’s desk in two, cracking the floor tiles underneath. Seeing what she had done, she scrambled up and out of the classroom, making her way straight home. As weeks passed, she would find as many isolated places as possible to learn more about this talent, soon discovering that when the right kind of music grabbed her, her usual submissive and docile behaviour was swarmed with raw and wild emotions; exhilarating joy, foul anger and an exhausting hype of energy. Worried that these uncontrolled emotions may bring harm to her loved ones she kept it all a secret from her family.

Staccato Ability: With the free and unrestricted passion of emotion music gives her, Alik’s Staccato abilities include a relentless and unpredictable persona. The uplifting and weightlessness of her body mass allows her to obtain perfect balance, making her fluid and acrobatic in her movements. In vocals in particular, artists such as Mariah Carey and Goldfrapp with their high notes can, if in the right moment, give her the ability to leap or fly a clear distance. Certain points in music can also give her an incredible burst of strength that can last a couple of moves.

Enhancements: Ailka can pick-up on the rawness and passion of singular tracks from various genres of music, including Kings of Leon, Mariah Carey, Goldfrapp, Snow Patrol, Foo Fighters and more, giving her a short and sudden boost of power and strength, although it takes half an hour to an hour for this to recharge.
The passion of music also changes her personality into what she is now referring to as ‘Holic’ something more unpredictable and animal-like in both her behaviour and attacks; this only adds to her agility and fluidity of movement. Since she cannot sing a note, her lip-syncing is immaculate, and if a particular strong or high-note is reached in the song this is channelled through to her own vocal chords and expelled similar to sonar, which can shatter glass and cause disorientation, though again, this needs a good 30-60 minutes to re-charge.

Very rarely, when the music is mellow enough Ailka can enter a brief moment of peace, her movements become slow, as if she is under water, this usually happening after that wild and exhausting persona of hers has subsided.

Weaknesses: Music or tracks of music that she doesn’t like, or can’t catch the beat to, wipes her out, from a drugged and clumsy confusion to completely blacking out for 5 to 15 minutes. This kind of music includes country, metal and screamo, although it could very well be an RnB song or artist that she can’t find a connection with, which will also reduce her agility and balance or knock her out. (And alternately it could be a certain metal track that gives her a boost.)

@animereality Approved. Glad to see you get here in time. I see you've really grasped the mechanics of Staccato.

[animereality]

Mhmn! I -always- play music when I rp or fight to feel the mood for it. I hope I do well in this.

[WorldDestroyer]

If signups are still open I would like to participate in this rather intriguing RP. If anything is wrong with it please let me know, and I will do my best to change it, this is not my first time RPGing so I know somewhat of what I am doing but please let me know if it's to late to enter or if something is wrong with the sign-up. Thanks.

Character Name: Roy Catalo

Age: 21

Description: http://endlessaky.files.wordpress.co...2560-15192.jpg

Background: When Roy was born, his family already knew there was something special about him. As he grew up he had a very kind heart, going through elementary school he was a favorite of everyone. Teachers, students. He had multiple girlfriends before he hit middle school. When middle school came, he moved away and went to a new school, a school that changed him forever. Everyday he was constantly bullied, shoved into lockers, swirled in used toilet water, beat up constantly. His grades slipped and his parents began to fight more. One day he arrived home to find his mother dead on the floor and his father with a knife in his hand. After seeing this he ran, his father chasing him where he was arrested and sent to prison. Roy went into a depression and was sent from school to school, foster home to foster home until he eventually hit high school. As he attended high school he moved around a lot, never making any real close connections to anyone, so he became engulfed in his music. He felt different every time he listened to music, and he knew he was different.
Eventually he found a girl and felt like he really loved her. She was one of a kind like him, and they dated for years. They were happy, and were going to get married once they finished school, long distance or not, until the day she died in a horrific car wreck, that was his fault. He blamed himself for years and his depression only began to get worse.
One day he got into a fight at his new school that he was attending. He lost the fight terribly and went to his music to satisfy him. He noticed that every song he listened to had a fast paced beat and he always ignored his gut movements when he listened to it. He put in his headphones on day at school, and the same person he had gotten into a fight with on the first day wanted to go again. This time he listened to his gut movements as he listened his fast paced beats and music and sent him to the hospital. After this he realized he was a Staccato and had to be careful with what he did from now on.
As life moved on he turned 18 and left all foster care for good. He attended college until he was 21 where things were rather calm, but then again he was mostly a quiet shut in person. He made only a few friends that were very close to him. Rojer, who he felt understood him the most was his closest friend, and like the brother he never had. It brought out the real him, but everyone else only felt the negative energy radiate off of his body and knew not to mess with him when his music was in - which was all the time-.
When he turned 21 he dropped out of college and moved to the culdisac where he currently lives, shut in and quiet. Not bothering anyone unless he has to.

Staccato Ability : Beat Movement - Roy has no set style of music he listens to, anything with constant beat and -depending on his mood at the time- speed, usage of instruments, and lyrics spoken will change his fighting style and reaction time. Things with precision beats will make him sharper in instinct and movements, while sad slow songs make him more on edge and more random. Anything in between... well that all depends on the song.

Enhancements: Depending on the type of song it will only improve two attributes of himself. For example, if it's a rap song, and it's fast paced with a strong constant beat, it will increase his natural survival and overall precision of attacks. While if the song is metal and has a long hard metal guitar solo, his strength and rage(which would make him faster) will increase.

Weaknesses: If the song has a strong constant beat he will tend to follow the flow of the beat, which therefore makes him highly predictable if the opponent catches on to the flow of the music. Also, after each song (depending on the speed of the song and style of the song) he becomes slower. For example, if it's a super fast paced heavy metal song, once the song is over the next song he listens to will result in slower attack speed and strength deprivation.

[Blackwaltz]

@WorldDestroyer very nice character sheet your Staccato ability is a bit unique but I believe that we can work together to make sure it doesn't become overpowered or perfect. Hurry on over to the RPG thread and get in a catch up post before the story moves on. Oh and Approved.

[animereality]

When's the next post going up?

Today for sure, don't worry the RP isn't dead everyone.

Character Name: Dylan Rogers

Age: 16

Description: http://i.imgur.com/FCIaLrX.png
Dylan is energetic, carefree, childish, and hot tempered. It is hard to get along with him; He's a bit arrogant, so he doesn't have many friends. But if you are able to follow his electric rhythm and don't feel provoked or offended by his jokes, he can be a great friend. He is much more gentle than he appears to be, and will help one whenever it is needed. Even though Dylan also thinks he can do more than he really can, so he may fail on protecting other people as well as himself. He gets disappointed at his own strength really often. He is 5 feet and 8 inches tall.

Background: Since the age of four, Dylan has moved once every two years with his parents, thanks to his father's job. He already lived overseas and his few friends are scattered all over the country and world.
In one of the schools he studied in, on seventh grade, he was the wolf on a musical interpretation of The Red Riding Hood, and was supposed to 'fight' with the hunter for a while, "so that it'll have more impact!", the teacher said. During the rehearsals, everything went fine, but for the presentation, background songs were used. Dylan was envolved by the song used during the wolf and the hunter's scene. He found the rhythm so exciting, and the loud guitar melody so fascinating, that he ended up truly hurting the other boy. After that incident, he didn't go to school for the rest of the year and left the city without finishing seventh grade. From then on, he knew something was different him, but decided to ignore it once he didn't know what exactly.
Dylan was supposed, and it was no news, to start living alone when he turned 16. That was what he and his parents had agreed years ago. They said that, with that age, he would be able to take care of himself, and that he shouldn't make his parents worry about him and nourish him anymore. And so it happened. While searching for a place to live, he found a tiny but cheap apartment in a cul-de-sac in the middle of nowhere. He was ready to mold of boredom there, but, coincidentally, there he heard of people with just the same abilities as he showed four years ago-- Staccatos. Would he get involved with those people?

Staccato Ability:
Bent Flarin' -- Causes the enemy or target to be surrounded by "chains" of fire. The more you move, the more it hurts you. Even though it looks like natural fire, it's not warm, and the burns caused by it are chemical ones. Once it is an ability for purposes of defense, it'll take a lot of the user's energy when hurting the opponent. Reacts the best to Rock-- not only American Rock. Ballad is its biggest obstacle.

Pothery Flow -- An offensive ability. It is basically fighting, but with an abnormal speed, and with extremely synchronized movements. The pain of the blows may also 'resonate' on the enemy, making the pain twice as much as normal and causing the psycological damage greater than the physical. As the movements are agile, the opponent cannot foresee the movement unless he/she has an ability involving it, but the user himself also had dificulties on seeing what's around him. Incredibly, doesn't spend as much energy as his defensive ability. Reacts the best to Rap. Blues is its biggest obstacle.

Enhancements: His movements/reactions are much faster and more violent than normal. Great damage.

Weaknesses: Exhaustion from using his abilities for too long. Slow tempos. Low success rate, once he's not experienced and is too young. Also, unnability to foresee others movements. Too much self confidence.

[[=v=" Is it okay if I added personality to the "Description"? Even though most of the people didn't... Should I take it out?]]

With the whole music and powers thing this game was such a good idea for this forum. However I think it might already be dead

[Blackwaltz]

@sunnyside Nonsense!!! I don't see why no one else wants to post though.

@Alice-chii very interesting abilitiy. Just edit the bio so we know exactly what his preferred genre/s are/is and he's approved. Le me know when you're caught up with the story and we'll work you into whatever group you wish to join.

[sunnyside]

@sunnyside Nonsense!!! I don't see why no one else wants to post though.

Oh hey you're still around! Good to see.

I hope I didn't come accross as rude. It's just that Alice-chii looks like a lot of fun, so I didn't want her to feel she was getting a cold shoulder from the RP board.

Good luck getting your game rolling again.

[Blackwaltz]

Yeah my work schedule has just been all over the place recently so it's been keeping my head all jumbled up trying to keep everything on track. Post should be up tonight.
