Good to hear, considering how much we have typed up!

[Albedo28]

Damn. That is a novel. A good read for each too. *claps*

Here I thought I had been writing large GM posts as of late >.>

[lilbooth]

Not sure what the chances are of getting in on this rp, but I wanted to make a character regardless. So here goes nothing

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Name: Graham Argentum
Age: 22
Sex: Male
Appearance:
Weight: 340 lb
Height: 5' 11"
Bio:
Graham possess a rather blunt personality. He is often quite shy in social situations and fumbles his way through more delicate conversations. Though not outgoing he is rather polite and chivalrous. His shear size does demand attention from time to time which can occasionally go to his head, inflating his self confidence to a dangerous level.
Graham was born, to a single mother, with extremely low body fat content and an abnormal amount of hair. Nothing too crazy, but a bit more hair than the delivery team was used to seeing. He was also an very loud, and very hungry baby. Luckily, for his mother's sake, he was kept in the infant ward until he devolved a suitably healthy body fat content. Upon being released from the hospital his ravenous hunger did nothing but increase. It became obvious rather early on the Graham had a distinctive distaste for meat, and quite the liking of milk, and not that of a cow. He lived a rather normal early life, switching, rather reluctantly, at about age 5 to "normal milk". His diet otherwise consisted of peanut butter or humus based sandwiches, cereal, and plenty of vegetables. Growing up Graham was known for being in peak physical condition. By the time he reached high school he had developed quite the physique, and was pushing 200 lbs. He played football and lacrosse through high school, and picked up gymnastics and rock climbing on the side. Upon graduating from high school he went on to work as a personal trainer at a few high end gyms in and around the city he grew up in. At age 20 he began competing in strongman and other body building competitions around the country. His success caught the attention of the MHD and has since been contracted by their agents.
Stats
HP: 14
LP: 8
Class 1 Meta Human
Corruption: 0/100 (Demonic/Sexual influence meter, basically. All start at 0. 100 does NOT mean game over.)
STR: 4
DEX: 2
CON: 4
INT: 1
WIS: -2
CHA: -3
Skills: Homo Homini- Graham's likeness to his more primal ancestors makes him excellent at climbing, running, and other full bodied methods of navigation
Monkey See Monkey Do- Graham has the remarkable ability, or sometimes impulse, to replicate the actions of others. With proper instructions, or careful observation, he can complete tasks nearly on par with the instructor.
Psychic School: Biomancy
Psychic Power: Brachium Erectus- Graham's arms nearly double in length and girth allowing for a much faster, and arguably more efficient, method of quadrupedal-esque movement. While active he can lift, push, and punch much harder.
Devolution- Graham manipulates the structure of his own DNA, adopting characteristics from other great apes.
Equipment: Some Clothes, protein powder, duffel bag containing exercise equipment.

It's kind of tough for me, just to switch over. I'm more of a Hemingway-inspired writer, so I tend to take a minimalist approach to it. I could talk at huge length about the difference between that kind of writing and writing like Faulkner or Tolkien, but I shall not.

It's different with RPing, because people always prefer more, since it gives people more things to respond to.

lilbooth, looks good, but you need to change that second power, it's just a little too vague. Changing mental and physical aspects encompasses a LOT of things.

[Tsai]

Oh that's a cool approach to it. When I'm writing essays for classes and stuff I tend to like the less is more approach it just seems more professional, though in Rps I suppose you can't really leave things to the imagination because you don't want people pulling stuff out of thing air because you didn't explain it or something.

[lilbooth]

ok cool. I figure it would be a super case by case basis. Basically taking one aspect (or characteristics if you like that word better)of an animal and changing it to that of an similar species. So like changing the shape or size bird's beak, the length of a dog's tail, or the color of a cat's fur. So its not like he could turn a puppy into a bear, but he could make a pit bull sprout some corgi fur. It works better when occurring in a reverse evolution style manner. So making a domestic cat more like its closest big-cat relative, or in Graham's case picking up characteristics from other great apes.

[Alaena]

Will be posting tomorrow.

[MelissaB]

Woo!

[Albedo28]

Looking forward to it. Really enjoying the leveling up system you set up. Already ran a few different plans through about how I'd like to use my options up to level 5 XD

I'm going to add something like a Class 9 or 10 capstone for each subschool, but that's going to take some time to figure out. Plus, I'd hate to count my chickens before they hatch on how long I want the RP to last .

Well, the way we're balancing powers, it just needs to be more specific than that. Such as the ability to adopt specific traits, or traits from a specific animal, and later it can be more encompassing. Everyone here has basically just acquired the very raw understanding of what they can do and the idea is, the powers evolve/develop more as the characters use them.

[Tsai]

Kinda more an RP question than actually relating to my powers, but would my own flames burn away my clothes? like if i surrounded myself in fire would i come out of it naked?

ok I'll stick with Graham being able to adopt features from other primates. Such as growing a tail, sprouting some extra body hair, or morphing his feet into something more similar to a chimpanzee's. Let me know if that is too vague Ill narrow it down some more.

Actually the question goes for me!

Hmm. For now, I suppose that answer would be yes, it would burn your clothes. If you want to get technical, it might also depend on how long you're covered in flame. You could have scraps of your clothing left.

Also, there'll be a post sometime this morning.

That's fine, just change it on your character sheet, and I'll add you to the reserved list.

[Reaver]
