[SU/D] Seekers of Power

Tipsynaruto – Accepted. Am I to assume her bodyguards will all basically just be NPC’s controlled by you?
Bathoin –
Which brings me to my next point; we have a lot of Holders in this RP, and I know there is another in the works. As for now, I will only be taking Seekers.

No more Holders.
 
Aww. Oh well. *copy paste bio in notes. XD

@Gavin AEtherae – If he had a power, tech would still be okay, but to the point of having explosives and mines and flashbombs? This is severely OP and I won’t allow it. The knives I’m willing to let slide. It just seems a bit unrealistic to me. As far as poison resistance, that would be vitality and I would like an adequate backstory as to why your character has this.

The shock mines I can understand completely. The flash bomb however is just a glorified strobe light set on a frequency that confuses the signals in the brain and has a chance to blind you, just like a normal strobe light. Flashbomb sounds more accurate for what it's used for. I'll explain further about it if you want though to make it appear as such. As for the poison resist, I used poison as an all inclusive term for sedatives, paralytics, and, yes, poisons and explained that he has a high tolerance to the stuff he uses from having worked with it (if you want me to explain that it as in a non-lab setting to account for how he was exposed, I'll do it- thought it came with him). As such, he has a resistance factor to similar drugs.
 
Yup. Considering that she probably wouldnt be able to hold out against Holders for too long, these NPCs are in essence what i will use to keep ehr alive should push comes to shove.
 
I've waited long enough for FFF text boxes to change colors, so I guess I'm working on this bio tonight with the magic of copy paste!
 
Subtle-sounds – While you did add in more detail, your power is still the same. You cannot have that due to the fact that the elements are all taken. It’s a form of elemental control, since the elements are taken, you cannot have them. Pick another power. Also, a bit more detail under strengths and weaknesses would be nice.

Gavin AEtherae – The flash bomb has still got to go. For poison resist, I’m still reluctant, but I’ll allow it. Just not as a skill.
 
i noticed the elements themselves but i guessed it would be ok due to her having no ability using them without the guns. ballistomancy is just infusing guns with magic as opposed to casting spells. i can change it to Chrono-ballistomancy if needs be and ill work on the str/wkn soon
 
Well, I've talked it over with a few people privately, and the RP has gotten big enough at this point. I still have one member working on their bio and another who may or may not be joining. So I'm not going to take any more characters at this point unless they're a Seeker. However, with all the other RPs opening, I'm sure you'll have more luck elsewhere. I just really want to avoid making this much bigger than it needs to be.
 
techno... ill change it to chronoballisatomancy and alter them if my characters accepted. please tell me because if she isnt going to have a part in the roleplay i may as well withdraw rather than waste time editing a character that wont get a place in the rp
 
I didn't want to have to come out and say it directly. But I won't be taking any more characters (save for one person who did reserve and another who may). This, unfortunately, does mean yours won't be taken.
 
thanks, youve saved me alot of effort on my part, thanks for at least telling me, who knows maybe in the future ill be able to use this character in some shape or form until then hve a nice rp

__________________________________________________ __________________________

Personality: Erich is known to be obsessive. He scores high on openness and shows a great deal of interest in various fields of academia and culture. Because of his many past travels (with his parents) and high level of cultural capital he has a general polycentric view of things and lived his youth as an extravert, winning the friendship and fondness of his peers. However, his sociability decreased after his marriage to Lili and even more so after “the incident”. He is now more stoic and secretive yet still talkative and shows a keen interest in the workings of people and the universe. It can be said that his involvement with people is merely to study them and in truth, detaches himself emotionally to observe the world and its inhabitants through an objective lens.

First Impression: A man of many years weighted in experience, knowledge and wisdom, though his ramblings on the metaphysical can often shape an idea of his detachment from "reality".

Distinguishing Marks: He’s handicapped. Constantly on a wheelchair and a blanket covers his lap and legs.

Political Affiliation: Democratic socialist.

Style: Practical wear.

Attire: Buttoned long sleeve shirt, casual pants and shoes

Special Talents/Abilities: Took up acting in his early days and studied the method. He has always been a student of human behaviour and is inclined to study the behaviour of others to assess their personalities.

Weapons: Automatic pistol.

Strengths: Resourcefulness.

Weaknesses: Although he’s good at lying, he can often times appear suspicious as he carefully considers his words, takes his time calculating and sometimes speaks vaguely.

Vitality: Very vulnerable.


Speed: Ineffective


Stamina: Ineffective



Reflexes : Ineffective



Fighting Style : Mainly defensive. He plans his moves carefully and is often cautious.


Magic: Erich uses a defensive mechanism that temporarily blinds and stuns his opponents with a devastating bright flash of light, accompanied by a disruptive audible bang that throws the threat out of balance. The sound has been compared to a hybrid of glass breaking and the thunder of a giant metallic sheet.

Other Skills: Proficient in various science practices and knowledgeable in philosophy.

Favorite Food: Cheesecake

Least Favorite Food: Blue cheese


Bad Habits: Although generally cautious of his health, he has a bit of a sweet tooth. He snacks on sugary stuffs when he knows he shouldn’t.


Job/Occupation: Retired.

Past Occupations: University professor’s assistant.

Activities/Organizations: Holder

Speech: A decent English accent with a hint of German in the Rs and Ss. His years have taught him that it is efficient and beneficial to speak in plain English.

Quote: “The stick becomes the sword and the sword becomes the gun. We evolve our tools but we do not evolve ourselves. There’s your power.”

__________________________________________________ __________________________



Relationship Status:

Relationship History: He’s only truly loved one woman. She was one of Professor Bernstein's students, Lili Xu. Lili and Erich have had a successful marriage that lasted for 13 years which ended with her accidental death.

Family: His father was a Timpanist and his mother a mathematician. His father a German and his Mother an American.

Personal Adversaries: The narrow minded.

Close Companions: Han knows him well.
__________________________________________________ __________________________

History: Erich was restless as a child, beaming with energy, curiosity and song. He resented sleep and treasured exploration and discovery. He had spent most of his early childhood in Zurich, Switzerland when his parents found successful work there. He wasn’t sociable at first, keeping to himself and his toys and learning to pick them apart to see how their mechanisms work.
Erich spoke and read from an early age, his mother always teasing him with number games but sure enough he proved to have the patience and concentration to solve such puzzles. His parents encouraged little Erich to explore their fields of expertise. As he grew, However, his patience would sustain with neither the piano nor the puzzles. Erich would grow bored of repetitive patterns with variations in flavour only, and saw no exploration in their paradigms; only his ignorance would be shown to him later in his preadolescence and onwards through the nurture his teachers have shown him.

It was when he developed sexually and had his first crush on the beautiful Laura Hudson, 2 years his senior, that he became interested in human behaviour and psychology. He would spend countless hours studying subjects his institution wouldn’t indulge his curiosities in. It occupied most of his time, one of the reasons why maintaining close relationships was difficult for him. He was good at starting relationships, but when it came between a party and a night at the library comparing findings by Avicenna and Averroes, he would always choose the latter.

He graduated from the University of Chicago with a degree in astrophysics and continued his studies further while holding a position as assistant to Professor Lars Bernstein. Their relationship was a paternal one, with Professor Bernstein appealing to Erich as a father figure since his real father died in a plane crash when Erich was only 15. It was Professor Bernstein that introduced Erich to Lili Xu, his student who would later become Mrs. Erich Bormann. Erich was infatuated with the phenomenon of love, and he loved Lili deeply. Sadly, both his father figure and beloved perished in an accident that occurred in their lab commonly referred to “the incident”. It was then that Erich lost the use of his legs, and he was never the same after. Interestingly, gentlemen clad in black, claiming they were the FBI took an active role in the investigation of the “incident” and have publicized it to be an accident resulted from faulty equipment.
Since then Erich has been underground, his activities and livelihood unknown.

Okay, since we have... very little Seekers, I'm going to go ahead and make this mostly about the Holders. Seekers will basically be a NPC thing that I use when I need your characters to do something.

The RP starts on Tuesday. If your do not have your character finished on Tuesday, it will not be accepted. Deal w/ it.

Also everyone else can expect a certain surprise that has nothing to do with this RP in the near future.
