{SLOTS OPEN}France, 1808. A mysterious rock crash lands in a French field well away from any major settlement. Napoleon sends out a group of French scientists to investigate. Among these scientists is Enzo Arris, an astronomer. For several weeks the scientists live in a camp surrounding the rock. One day, Enzo studies the rock up close and notes it's strange blue glow and stretches his hand out to touch. The blue glow then seemingly latches onto his hand and cloaks him in the glow, leaving the rock as dull as ever. By several accounts from other scientists, Enzo seemingly absorbs the glow, then falls limp to the ground. Enzo is unconscious for several weeks. Once he comes to, something quite extraordinary happens, everything in the tent starts to float (Except people). After a couple seconds though, they fall. The scientists then believed that the rock had turned him into Satan, and they attempted (In a terrified panic) to kill him. They failed. Enzo then fled the country, and most unfortunately, fell in love with the girl that was helping him escape. And after almost two years on the run, they had a child. French spies having learned this, reported back immediately and set up an ambush for the fugitives. But they were one step ahead, they arranged for the baby to be sent to America. They were captured shortly after the baby left the continent. Soon the baby grew up and discovered that she too, had powers, and passed it down through the generations, until there were mutants all over america, almost 3% of the countries population. Some were more powerful than others, but they all received the same type of discrimination. Sometimes the military reached out to mutants, sometimes mutants rebelled. But our story doesn't focus on mutants in general, just a handful. The year is 2017. These Mutants are the few who will fight for their freedom. What about you? Character SheetName: Nickname: Age: Ethnicity: Hair color: Eye color: Height: Weight: Appearance: (Picture or description) Power: Backstory:
My Character Sheet
Name: Tyler Condish Nickname: Smokey Age: 23 Ethnicity: Caucasian Hair color: light brown Eye color: greenish-blue Height: 6'2 Weight: 198 lbs Appearance: He's Tall and lanky. He wears a black hoodie with a red star on the back. He has shaggy hair, and wears regular blue jeans. He also wears a pair of old tennis shoes. He also wears on of those nikey backpacks, black with a white check. Power: Smoke. He can absorb smoke to add to his 'Juice' and without that he cannot throw small balls of fire or larger attacks. His larger attacks include him sending out a dense could of cinder and igniting it, it cannot go very far though. He is able to turn him self into a moving cloud of smoke to slip into tight spots. One of his long range attacks is he sends out a narrower missile of cinder and ignites with force, allowing it to propel in the direction of the cinder. One of his drawbacks is that if he gets too angry he can set himself on fire, potentially injuring himself and any allies. He also has the ability to set his knuckles alight, but if they're burning for too long (an hour) they'll start to burn his skin.
Backstory: Nobody knows much about him, except that he was one of the first mutant rebels. Records show that he was born on July 5th, 1994. In 10th grade he killed his chemistry teacher and has been on the run ever since.

These few mutants all met a week ago, and are now hiding out in an old rundown house in Austin, Texas. This is where our story begins.

It's the bare minimum alright. I wouldn't put your char into the military until the poll has been finalized, so if you could make it just a Work progress or make him neutral, it would be easier for you if rebellion won the poll.

Name: Jason Foucault Nickname: Jace, various spellings thereof; less frequently, "Electrician" Age: Thirty-one years Ethnicity: Caucasian Hair color: Brown Eye color: Hazel Height: Jace isn't a tall man, standing around five foot seven. Weight: He's not especially heavy, either; he only weighs a hundred sixty-three pounds. Appearance: Jason looks almost unintimidating, at first. He's a relatively short man, with moderately lengthy, unkempt brown hair and not much muscle to him - he's obviously in shape, but appears to be a light runner at best. Quick to crack a smile, Jace is a frequently clean-shaven man with strong, well-defined features. As far as apparel goes, he generally prefers standard civilian attire: jeans, long-sleeved tee, either a leather or track jacket more often than not. He does, however, keep a half-face ski mask (optionally without the stupidly placed logo) in a pocket with which to at least partially conceal his identity when out doing superhuman stuff. Powers: Jason is immune to the effects of, and can to some extent absorb, most forms of electricity. With this absorbed energy, he can increase his reaction time, strength, and other such abilities to superhuman levels for a brief period of time depending on how much energy he's willing to burn. This power, like all his others, has its limits, though. Increasing his strength or speed doesn't necessarily increase his durability; he's torn muscles more than once, and on one occasion shattered his own wrist trying to punch someone. Jace's ability to absorb electricity can be overloaded, but this takes quite a bit of power. A direct strike from a bolt of lightning, say, could--and would--initially injure Jace like any other human, but with prolonged exposure his body would eventually adapt to the increased voltage. The downside to this adaptivity, however, is that electricity is highly addictive to him. Prolonged exposure to high voltages feels like a hell of a high, and being away from that source for a lengthy period of time leaves him with symptoms similar to withdrawal--itches, shakes, vomiting, craving more--until his body readjusts. Further, Jace can use either this absorbed energy or his own body's bioelectricity to create circular force fields in a small radius around parts his body, no more than one or two feet across at any given time. He could, for example, create a force field around his arm and maintain it for a reasonable length of time, but not his whole body: creating force fields as Jason does requires too much energy to maintain such large fields for longer than a few milliseconds. Further, generating such protective fields using his bioelectrical energy tends to tire him out, often leaving him with a hefty appetite and the inability to carry on fights for a lengthy period of time without some electrical assistance. These fields generate some repulsive force and also tend to shock objects they touch that aren't Jace, so blows reinforced by these fields seem to hurt more than they should and blows made upon these fields hurt quite a bit less. While force fields by nature, the fields he creates are not exactly unbreakable; enough force can shatter them quite easily, though they do absorb most of the impact force. Backstory: Jason Foucault was born in Minnesota to a pair of French Canadian parents, Manon and Guy. He was raised a good little Roman Catholic boy: went to school, ate his vegetables, went to church every Sunday, never questioned his parents, if not necessarily in that order. He grew up a huge hockey fan, played it up through college. Jace attended college at St. Cloud State University, graduated a few years later with a degree in electrical engineering. It wasn't his first choice--actually, going pro was--but electricity made a hell of a lot of sense to him and seemed a pretty reasonable second course of action when he wasn't picked up as a free agent. Jace's powers didn't manifest until shortly after his twenty-fifth birthday. He was an out-of-shape electrical engineer by that point: a few years' job experience, a steady girlfriend, his own house in upstate New York. None of that mattered when a mugger accosted him, even less when the guy just decided to try and shoot him--and Jace unconsciously deflected the bullet with some kind of glowing purple energy field. The field reformed itself around his hand, looking more like armor than something he'd generated with his mind. When Jace went over to punch the guy's lights out and take his money back, he ended up stopping the mugger's heart with a bit too much electrical power. Since then, he's been moonlighting a little bit as a vigilante--maybe because he read too many comics as a kid--and exploring his powers more. He doesn't necessarily agree with the discrimination against mutants, though he is something of a biased source, and maintains some relatively loose ties with what might pass for a resistance or a rebellion: helping them out from time to time, but not necessarily all the time.

I was thinking it could be a two sides of a coin sort of thing because it looks even to me

Turned out that one of the people who voted for rebellion accidentally backed out, so rebellion wins.

Okay I'll make a different character that character is actually a character I've had since high school, he's a law dog, that's about it. Are you familiar at all with the anime S-Cry-Ed? because I'd like to do something like a character in that.

Character Name: Gerald Rasche Nickname: Nails Age: 25 Ethnicity: White Hair color: Orange, long hair, very unkempt Eye color: Black Height: 6'2" Weight: 140 Appearance: Tall slender man teardrop tattoo on his right side, skull tattoo on his neck gauged ears several eyebrow piercings as well as shark bite piercings on his face arms and legs completely covered in tattoos as well the right arm is a full cobra the end of which ends in his hand, the left is marked in many seemingly random numbers, the legs are covered in various tattoos of various meanings to himself. (picture below with the changes I added)  Power: Spikes. Has the ability to make spikes appear of various lengths and sizes from nearly any pore on his body. these can also be dislodged or thrown from his body at will to hit long distance targets. The effects can be both offensive and defensive, giving him the ability to stand his ground by digging them into the ground. His main drawback is the fact he cannot wear any body armor without effecting his power, and the limited defensive capability means he normally has to get the drop on someone. Backstory: Born on the street to a small group of homeless people he was raised in the ways of pickpocketing from a young age, when he was first caught he was sent into an orphanage, where he was often a bully to other kids, being pushed from foster house to foster house. Joined a gang at the age of 13, killed his first man on his 14th birthday. Committed several crimes until the age of 16 when he was caught. On account of the magnitude of his crimes he was tried and convicted as an adult. Within his first year in prison he managed to severely wound 3 inmates, 2 of which died, the third was permanently paralyzed and he spent 2 years in solitary lockup. While being transported from one prison to a maximum security prison offshore, he managed to kill 3 more guards and escape. After a night of running he stubled upon a strange glowing stone, upon touching it his flesh began searing, but he could not throw it off. As it slowly began sinking into his skin his body was racked with pain causing him to fall to the ground screaming, eventually passing out. When he awoke he was surrounded by SWAT officers who proceeded to attempt to handcuff him, what happened next was almost a blur, and when he snapped back into consciousness several agents lay dead impaled by large black spikes, as he looked down as his hand he noticed they were bleeding and his fists were clenched 1/2 inch spikes digging into the backs of his knuckles. After the incident he went underground until he heard of the mutant resistance, seeing it as a chance to redeem himself and bring down the government he wasted no time in joining in exchange for amnesty from his past crimes. |

I think a more suitable name would be Hedgehog. xD Also you should probably wear spike resistant clothing.

My only question for Salamander is are there limitation on how you get your powers? I.E. aliens, mutation, experimentation? or does it have to be similar to the story at the beginning?
