Maximum Ride: Power Sprint [PG-14] OOC

[d4rka8isz]

Looks like we'll take off again! I'm gonna wait a bit before posting.

 

[miley810]

I didn't think you were Arcaray. And yeah, hopefully this'll get things back on track. I heard so much about people being dissapointed in my GM skills, I almost said the heck with it...

 

[Arcaray]

I don't think any of us were saying that, if it makes you feel any better Miley :)

I'm just going to edit my last Apolla post, and then Zeke and Torn will make a guest appearance. :P

 

[TornZero]

Welcome back, Miley; hope you're feeling better. And one more thing, when you get the chance to look it over, I made a second Scarer. I said it around the time you left, this was my attempt at making a Taoism-based character.

Spoiler:

Name: Solan Lunaer

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Nickname: Sol & Lune

Snake Species: Dispholidus typus, the Boomslang. The DNA has given him black rings just around his eyes and covering his eyelids. It looks like makeup, but it's actually very useful when it comes down to facing bright light. His canines are also extremely sharp and almost long enough to pierce into his lower gums, but they also have a groove in the back that allows Solan to inject his venom if he ever bites someone. The venom is hemotoxic; it disables the victim's ability to clot their blood, alongside causing organ degeneration and general tissue damage, resulting in death through internal bleeding among other issues. Symptoms typically won't show for hours, leaving someone to underestimate the seriousness of the venom as just a headache or nausea. The victim can outright drop up to two days later, even if they're feeling perfectly fine. Though, in a non-lethal dose, the venom can still cause short-term intense pain, swelling and necrosis around the bite area.

Powers: Solan is able to split himself into two separate halves: Yin and Yang, both of them capable of their own contrasting abilities and personalities, as well as having linked minds that can reach each other no matter the distance. Yin, called Sol, has geokinetic abilities, being able to control earthly matter. Yang, a.k.a. Lune, has aerokinetic powers, controlling the air and being able to fly around without wings due to this. Both of them are capable of tracking things that interact with their respective environments, making them excellent hunters. The problem with Solan's Yin-Yang splitting is that, after spending so long without figuring out how to pull himself back together, Sol and Lune alike gave up on trying. The only power Solan can use without splitting is his enhanced reflexes.

Appearance: Lune is tall, about five-eight, with jet-black hair down to his shoulders. His body's built for athletics, like a basketball player, but he wears clothes that conceal this such as large flannel shirts and cargo pants. Around his emerald eyes are the black rings that normally surround the edges of the Boomslang's scales, which only add to the irises' green coloring more. Despite everything managing to not make a single definite style (and frankly looking a little strange), Lune enjoys the look.

Sol, the Yin half of Solan Lunaer, is actually female, and stands at five-two. Opposite Lune, Sol's white-as-snow hair lays down between her shoulderblades and waist, turning from straight to loosely wavy a couple inches from the ends. With a slender figure, Sol does little to not accentuate it by wearing form-fitting T-shirts and skirts or shorts, as well as crew-length socks and skater shoes. She has the same black rings around her eyes as Lune does, but her irises are a bright blue with a faded grayish ring around the outside.

Personality: Contrary to their appearances, Lune is actually the positive one. He's Solan's idealism, social and moral self, and his more positive self. Lune is the logical foundation of the two's linked thoughts, coming up with the base for many things the pair does, and will stand up for himself and others alike. He manages to be afraid of nothing, being more than willing to get into a fight if the intentions are good. However, he's also somewhat desensitized to his emotions, his rational thoughts being more dominant.

Sol is the quieter, introverted and sensitive half of Solan. She's independent and creative, the one that lets her mind wander and come up with half-baked ideas, using Lune's reason to finalize them into something tangible. She tends to draw in her free time, but tries not to let anyone see, and enjoys the comfort of being alone. Sol is the more elegant and (not to mention deceptively violent) fluid half, in contrast to Lune's solidity.

Strengths: Lune is a logical person, and resistant to making outbursts of any kind. Sol is extremely imaginative, and can put her thoughts into highly detailed drawings.

Shortcomings: Solan as a whole is difficult to define, at many times shifting between Sol and Lune in his personality. Lune can be apathetic at times, showing little to no emotion whenever he's in deep thought, somewhat like a trance. Meanwhile, Sol suffers constant imagination, and can visualize anything she hears. If it involves particular people, she can imagine the audio, too.

Likes: Music and drawing in Sol's case, and Lune enjoys activity and being involved in things.

Dislikes: Solan only hates two things: A jerk without rhyme or reason, and anyone that dislikes visual art forms. Everything else he tries to tolerate, and both Sol and Lune do the same.

History: Since his birth, Solan Lunaer has been plagued by having a split personality, sometimes becoming the total opposite of what he'd normally do with no explanation. With the many things the School "offered" to special kids, Solan's parents couldn't pass it up. They couldn't keep their son's personality swapping in check by the time he was eight, so they sent him in. He was to be the first one tested with Dipholidus typus DNA, and the merge was otherwise a complete success. Within a few weeks, his canines grew and carved a groove in the backs, and black rings appeared around his eyes. Venom sacs popped in as small pouches in his nasal cavity, directly funneled to the grooves in his teeth. Around the time he turned thirteen, after five powerless years of training, his abilities started to show.

But it was only one thing: Solan split himself into two different people, with distinct attitudes and abilities of their own. Both of them had the same snake features, though. The girl, who they decided to name Sol, could control the earth, and had a better use for it to protect herself and assist her opposite. The opposite in question, Lune, was a boy that controlled the air, and had a more offensive style to him. He was able to use Sol's geokinetic powers to solidify his attacks and bring down mutants in training much faster. In the meantime, Solan, his mind stuck between the two, tried multiple methods to fusing his two halves back together. One of them in particular, running into each other, was tried and tried again in various painful and awkward positions. After a while, he'd just given up.

When the Gen-127 broke out, Sol and Lune were assigned with each other as a duo, using their connected thoughts for multiple effective capturing methods. Sol and Lune combined are currently accounted for roughly 25% of the Scarers' captures and re-captures.

Other: Solan temporarily returns to normal when Sol and Lune use their powers in perfect sync, only to be split again if he decides to use one of their powers.

RP Sample: Do I really need to put up a third?

 

[Satan.EXE]

It's fine Miley. Honestly we didn't go too far since you left.

Also, if it helps, I still keep my offer of Co-GM, in case you need help, or if you get sick like that again. You just have to let me know when I'm needed.

 

[ShinyDiamond]

I would also like to offer my services as a Co-GM! I've asked a while ago in the Roleplay Discussion Thread that I can be of help anyway I can, & that they can feel free to ask me to. I would also like to help if you can't GM.

 

[TornZero]

I'm keeping my offer up, too, if not just for organizational and event-tracking purposes.

 

[miley810]

Dang! Feeling the love, everyone wants to be Co-GM 'cause the GM herself sucks. -_- Just when I finally start getting people to think I'm a good GM, I get sick and ruin it. Joking guys! Anyways I'll think about who will be the Co-GM and let you know in my next post. Keep in mind, being Co-GM does not mean your charecter gets to be any better/more powerful/better at controling their powers than any of the other charecters. So if that's why you want to be Co-GM, you'll be kicked off the Co-GM list fast.

 

[shinysweety]

I don't wanna be co-gm, i don't care. :\ As long as the RP goes on im happy.

 

[miley810]

Okay guys I've thought a while on this. TornZero is our new Co-GM! For the others whom have offered on here, PM's, Facebook messages, VMs, a lot of you guys have, I'd like to say sorry that I didn't pick you. I'm naming no names, so please don't say 'I did this and that' but TornZero hasn't seemed to be a problem. Some of us have yelled at me before, 'cause I've skipped their post, 'cause I asked them to change their post, 'cause I said they were being over powerful. While others of us I've gotten several people say there were issues about during by absence, about them trying to make their character too powerful, and I believe if I pick them as GM they'll feel like they have the authority to make their character bigger, better, more important, stronger, better at controlling their powers, etc. Which I hope TornZero has a head enough to understand I nor him are better in the RP than the rest.

So TornZero, congrats. Not that it's a big deal, I guess. Hopefully none of the others who offered to be Co-GM will be mad. So yeah. If I'm gone for longer than lets say a week, you automatically take over until I come back, and you will have permission to bunny Jamie as long as you keep her personality true. And if I know I'll be gone for a long period of time, I'll let you and everyone else know, and I'll let you know if someone else is bunnying Jamie or something. And like I said, you keep the position as Co-GM as long as you don't start acting over powerful.

And, if I am gone, I want everyone who can to report to me about anybody acting over powerful or something, and even if I'm here if I don't seem to be noticing it I want to be let known.

 

[Sapphire Rose]

it's good to have you back miley :3 i didnt had a problem with your absence though if thats what you'e afraid of ^^; i know your situation and i can understand you very while because...well you know my situation too :P ...

anyway what i wanted to ask you is, i submitted a scarer earlier, is she accepted? :3

 

[shinysweety]

Congratz Torn, i know u'l make a gr8 CO-GM. ;)

 

[Satan.EXE]

'cause I said they were being over powerful.

._.

No names, yet you practically called all that out straight to me. Simply because the way I have my character built, I was probably the first to be rejected from the list. Even though all I've been doing is trying to create an interesting, different character from the rest. I figured people would know better by now than to think I'd be intentionally trying to make Raven stronger, or even go as far as using authority to do so.

I'm pretty tempted to just drop from this RP, because apparently my character causes too many problems for everyone else, including the GM. Which doesn't make sense, since she did accept my character. I get the distinct feeling if I leave no one will have any issues anymore.

I'm not mad, though I am rather upset about this because I know exactly where it was directed. About 90% of the post, directly at me.

 

[Arcaray]

I am happy that Zero will be Co if we need it!

But yeah, Miley you were a bit offensive with that. :/ As far as I'm aware, everyone here was more concerned about you than we were angry with your absence, and I'm pretty sure that all of us are grown up enough to not God-mod.

I may have missed something, but I haven't seen anyone yelling. It was obvious that you were referring to Zerin, which is hardly fair either. We've all come to terms with Raven as a character, who is more flawed than she is powerful. I really don't see why there was a need to say all of that, when you could've just said that TornZero was going to be co-GM.

 

[ShinyDiamond]

No one ever chooses me to be a Co-GM... Yellow was right...

I'm glad at least one person understands me, thanks Arcaray.

 

[ShinyDiamond]

I might post soon, I don't know. My life is falling down the drain. I hate my dad's attitude & strictness against me. Will go post.

 

[d4rka8isz]

^Ditto, except I'll post after I get home from school, as long as my sister doesn't take the computer.

 

[TornZero]

Thanks for the support, guys, even though I'll mostly just be worrying about consistency and keeping people updated in case they miss things for a while. ^^; (Also, Miley, if we could get a verdict on accepting [post="7142606"]Solan[/post] and [post="7105710"]Aqua[/post] sometime, it might be easier to keep activity up with the new characters.)

And Zerin, while it /was/ pretty easy to see it was directed at you, I've seen for myself that some people end up misinterpreting their own limits when given arguably free reign, and for multiple different reasons like not wanting their character to be hurt, or just wanting to make them stronger than they should be.

The fact being that everyone's pretty much already established Raven's level as the most destructive at the highest cost, Raven can't be a problem unless you end up doing multiple football stadium-sized explosions, (of course, it's really doubtful you'd actually do that and instead go for her trying to refrain from using her powers while in the company of the group she's getting dragged into) so you're not able to be much of a target concerning Miley's comment.

I more so took it as looking towards the people who may not already have a set idea on their character's limits and might end up pushing things (even though it's still doubtful anyone here would do that without a good reason).

~~~~~

Also, @SD, I hope your dad's attitude improves sometime soon; he probably doesn't know your priorities and instead focuses on the ones he thinks you should have. (I know that well enough from my mother.) Maybe listening to music will help with tolerating it? (I suggest listening to music in different languages; I end up unable to focus on anything in spoken English if the vocals are in Japanese/Korean/any language difficult to relate to English.)

 

[Satan.EXE]

日本語うたがだいすきえですよ！
I love Japanese Music!

Honestly, I'm still feeling pretty upset about this. Because it sounds like my leaving might help the RP (and prevent further argument). Therefore, leaving might be better for everyone else. And I don't see people as really interested in whether I stay or go, so why not?

The verdict is neutral but I'm leaning toward "Leaving".
