Name: Jade Tyler (Is the middle name compulsory? If so then I'll add it later)
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Physical:
Jade has black hair, black eyes and is shorter than an average teenager (about 160cm). He's an American and goes to an American high school (At 17 you go to a high school right? I'm not sure cause I live in Singapore...). He wears a pair of thick blue glasses. He is slightly underweight (about 50kg).
In school uniform:
Jade wears his uniform neatly and proudly, with all the buttons buttoned and tie neatly tied in the centre.
Out of school uniform:
Jade wears a blue or black shirt with a white tie. Also, he wears black faded jeans that is folded up at the bottom. He also carries a black slingbag as well as a laptop, which is in a laptop bag.
Personality:
Jade has a cold personality, mostly directed towards strangers and friends whom he is not familiar with. He does not care about what happens to other people, as long as what he wants to happen happens. He does not like to be given too much attention and prefers it when others don't notice him and leaves him alone.
Behind that though, Jade is like any ordinary teenager, listening to music on MP3, playing computer games. Just that he doesn't like interacting much with people he doesn't know. Why make new friends when you can just make do with those that you already know?
Jade, however, is slightly better in his studies than his friends and reads slightly more. Also, when he first discovered his superpowers, he decided to hide it to not attract attention but he trained it in secret. He's also slightly lazy. He knows the facts from textbooks and stuff but is too lazy to actually do homework or make use of it.
History:
Jade is mostly a neglected child. His parents were always busy and didn't interact with him much. He lived mostly alone and had little friends. Friends who knew him said that he was dark, bad-tempered and unfriendly.
When he was 14, his parents were killed in a car accident. He didn't seem to be affected much by his parents' demise. Others assumed that it was because he wasn't that close to his parents in the first place anyway.
However, he was actually quite affected by it. In the days following the accident, he tried to pretend that it didn't matter to him and that made him slightly more bad-tempered. When a new guardian was found for him and he moved in with her, life didn't change much as the new guardian neglected him a lot as well.
When Jade discovered his powers, he kept it secret although he used it occasionally to make things easier. When no one was around, he secretly used his powers and tried to discover the limits of it.
Superpower: Psychokinesis. Using his mind to move things (includes hitting opponents).
Theme Song: Don't know what to put. Could be either of these two.
Byakuya ~True Light~ (Miyamoto Shunichi)
Orochimaru's Theme from Naruto (Don't know the actual title or artist...)
RP Sample: An incident that happened in Jade's school life. Pay attention to the last few paragraphs, those explain how Jade's power is to be used.
A loud cheer erupted. "Fight... Fight... Fight..." it went, signalling the start of a fight between two boys, most likely over a girl or something as trivial as bumping into each other.
Amidst the chaos, Jade shuffled silently down a corridor leading into the locker room. At this point in time, most of the students were in the gym, watching the fight. However, Jade wasn't interested in the fight. It was something he found stupid. A fight! Just over some trivial issue. It was not like the safety of the whole world was even at stake.
Jade entered the combination to his locker and reaching out with his mind, felt the presence of the books that he needed for the next two lessons. He let another part of his mind reach into his bag and feel the edges of the books from the previous lessons.
Taking a quick look around to ensure that he was alone, Jade pulled with his mind. It came easily to him, just as easily as lifting a hand or swallowing a mouthful of food. With that pull, the books moved and swapped places, the books from his bag going into the locker and the books from the locker packing itself into his bag.
Jade smiled, feeling the strange, enjoyable sensation that passed through his body whenever he used his powers. It was one of the few moments when he actually smiled. Closing and locking his locker, Jade walked off to his next lesson.
Woah! Long post much! Also, just read through others' SUs. Wow, there are many pro-RPers here, hope I can survive in this field. Does Psychokinesis include Mind Reading to you? I can sort of justify it but if you don't allow, then it doesn't matter, Psychokinesis is good enough.
EDIT: I'm pretty much done with my SU. I don't know what else to add. If I missed anything, or somethings wrong, tell me!
Spoiler:
>Name: Ellie Rose Parker
>Age: 21
>Gender: Female
> Appearance:
- Physical: Ellie is average height, standing at 5'8''. Hailing from Australia, she's a natural blonde, but dyed her hair to a deep shade of brown in a 'rebellious teenager' stage a few years back and never bothered to go back to her original hair color. She usually wears her hair straight, as it is naturally that way. Her skin is tanned after years of outdoor activities (and genetics) with eyes a medium shade of blue. Her build is slightly muscular, and she weighs about 135 pounds. She has a small tattoo on her inner ankle of black wings. She has a piercing in her left nostril, a small silver circle.
- Clothing: Ellie doesn't really have a defined style. She likes dark or neutral colors in an array of different style shirts, depending on the weather or season. Though she will wear other colors, just not as much. Also, on cold days she wears a black leather jacket. For pants, she's very fond of jeans in any color of blue. Her shoe preference is usually a neutral colored boot, varying in style.
>Personality: She was never a quiet girl. Ellie is very opinionated, and stubborn when it comes to getting what she wants. She doesn't like to be alone for long periods of time, and enjoys the company of others, but does need to get away sometimes. And by getting away, she means going for a swim. She's always loved swimming. Or if it was too cold to swim, just being at the beach by herself was enough for her. She's very athletic, enjoying sports of all kinds.
Unfortunately, she is a little arrogant and combined with her opinionated ways, this made her not very likable in throughout grade school, with just a select few friends. She's intelligent, but in ways that didn't matter much in school subjects. Ellie isn't a really happy girl, but she isn't all dark and gloomy, either. So, suffice to say, she's pretty neutral. She's not indecisive, and knows what she wants. She has a number of common fears, such as thunderstorms, spiders, and small spaces.
>History: Ellie was born in Australia to two health-nut parents. She had one older brother, and two younger sisters. At the age of seven, Ellie's father's job forced them to move to Seattle, Washington. Ellie wasn't too happy about this change, but eventually got over it and adjusted to the new lifestyle. Her parents were the type to push their kids to be the best they could be. Ellie was pushed into soccer from fall to spring, and a swim team during the summer, where she found her passion for the water. All the rain in Seattle didn't stop her, going to indoor pools. At the age of thirteen, her father was diagnosed with lung cancer. Unfortunately, three years later, he died. This caused her mother's upbeat personality to transform into the polar opposite. Ellie was sixteen then, and dropped out of high school. Months later, her brother went on to college and what was left of her family moved in with her aunt and uncle due to financial problems. Currently, Ellie is working to get her GED, so she can have some kind of career.
However, the day before her twentieth birthday was the day she discovered her abilities. She was walking home late on a rainy night when a man pulled a knife out on her. Oh, you're kidding. Me? Of all people, me? No, he wasn't kidding. When she refused and cursed herself for refusing self-defense classes, he made a stabbing motion. She dropped her things, putting her hands up in defense, awaiting the pain. But when seconds passed, she lowered her arms, seeing that a thin veil of ice had crept over him. Impossible. She couldn't rationalize it. She picked up her things, and ran her way home.
Thinking she had hallucinated it, or... God, she didn't even know, Ellie went about her life. While she was twenty, and at the park, another strange occurrence happened. She was sitting on the sidewalk, waiting for her uncle to pick her up. She had just been at the gym, and overworked herself. She was too tired to walk home. A loud rumble of thunder came from overhead. She swore, and anxiously wished her uncle was here now. She hated thunderstorms. The tips of her fingers were dipped into a puddle next to her lazily. As another loud bang came, she was stricken with fear. Suddenly, Ellie felt a bitter cold at her fingertips. When she looked down, she saw that the puddle was freezing, going outward from under her fingers. She pulled her hand back, and the ice quickly melted. Out of curiosity, She stretched her palm over the puddle and thought about turning the puddle into ice. It started to freeze under her palm, and when it froze completely, she drew her hand away. The puddle stayed frozen, melting with
>Superpower: Water Manipulation: Ellie can manifest water using the molecules of the air. Her powers, at first, were connected to her emotions. Now, as she realizes that this is more than she can understand, she plays with these powers, gaining control of them. However when Ellie is in distress or fear or another strong, negative emotion, she may not have as much control as she thinks.
Also, when she is near a body of water, Ellie can take water out of there and manipulate it. Of course, she can't manipulate seas and lakes and such-- she's not that strong. She can also freeze the water molecules, resulting in freezing whatever she had encased in water, using her mind or hands. Though if the air was too dry and was not around water, she would not be able to use her power.
> Theme Song: I'll get back to you on that.
>RP Sample: Since I can't link you to anything because I never post, and I'm too lazy to lurk old boards where I RPed, the best I can give you is my first post in parallelzero's RPG. Hope that's okay.
雷影 イチロ,
(I hope you aren't annoyed by this.)
"On his right wrist he wears a silver analogue watch of some big brand, the logo not having to be embroidered."
"Around his neck lies a silver dog tag, army style, which he never takes off, embroided with his name and birth date."
In both cases, the word should be engraved, not embroidered.
^Thanks Akita for fixing up my English, its such a hard language!
@MancerNecro: More detailed information please, especially on the superpower and a little bit more on the history and appearance. Personality is alright. I guess you can add mind reading to your superpower since it is sort of a part of psychokinesis. And no, you don't have to have a middle name.
@Castiel: its looking good.
My SU update:
Finished, Dante is now a fully fledged psychopath, its going to be fun.
Here's the SU, but updated. Also, will there be a specific point where they will all meet up? Like some guy recruits/finds them all. Otherwise, the RP will mostly be stuck at each of their specific schools with no meetups.
Spoiler:
Name: Jade Tyler Age: 17 Gender: Male
Appearance:
Physical:
Jade is shorter than many of his classmates/friends, at a height of 1.6m. This partly helps to make him seem unnoticed in school. He has black hair and black eyes and always seems to have a fierce/irritated look on his face.
He is thin and doesn't have that much muscles, being quite athletically unfit. He weighs only 45kg. He also looks quite pale, probably from spending a lot of time indoors as compared to outdoors.
The first impression that people seem to get on looking at him is that he is one of those spoilt, bad-tempered rich kids who don't like mixing around which matches his personality.
Clothing:
When not in school, Jade wears either a plain blue or black shirt (those that have collars and buttons) with a plain white tie. The colours were chosen, namely as it does not attract unnecessary attention but still manages to make him look smart.
He wears long black faded jeans that hide the shape/size of his legs and it is too long and therefore folded upwards about 1 inch at the bottom. He wears black sneakers, mostly because it matches his jeans and shirt colour.
On his wrist, he wears a black digital watch. It has the usual functions, stopwatch, timer, alarm clock but Jade doesn't use much of its functions. Even the time shown on it is wrong as Jade only wears it as a decoration/piece of clothing.
Jade usually carries a black slingbag and a laptop bag along with him. Both are black, with no designs on it. His slingbag has two compartments, one at the front and one at the back while his laptop has one compartment for its charger and mouse/other wired components, one for the laptop itself and one for the battery, extra keyboard and other components.
Personality:
Jade has a cold personality, mostly directed towards strangers and friends whom he is not familiar with. He does not care about what happens to other people, as long as what he wants to happen happens. He does not like to be given too much attention and prefers it when others don't notice him and leaves him alone.
Behind that though, Jade is like any ordinary teenager, listening to music on MP3, playing computer games. Just that he doesn't like interacting much with people he doesn't know. Why make new friends when you can just make do with those that you already know?
Jade, however, is slightly better in his studies than his friends and reads slightly more. Also, when he first discovered his superpowers, he decided to hide it to not attract attention but he trained it in secret. He's also slightly lazy. He knows the facts from textbooks and stuff but is too lazy to actually do homework or make use of it.
History:
Jade was born in Singapore. This was because his parents were rich but busy people and Singapore was where most of their business deals were. So, they attained permanent residenship in Singapore and settled down in a private estate in the area.
When Jade was born, his parents were mostly busy and so, did not spend much time with him playing or caring over him. He was mostly looked after by a maid that took care of washing, cooking and the likes. There was also a period when Jade was cheerful and always looked forward to his parents' love and care. However, after being rejected quite a lot of times, with his parents always giving him money and asking him to have fun on his own, he gave up.
This giving up seemed to have an impact on Jade's life, he felt neglected and was struggling with his internal feelings of whether or not he needed love and care. After sometime, Jade became more stable but new darker emotions and thoughts grew. He felt that he was able to survive on his own and needed no friends or family.
What really triggered his powers was probably his parents' deaths in a car accident. At that point, Jade tried to make himself believe that he didn't care about what had happened, although his conscience kept egging him to feel sad. This conflict of emotions caused Jade's powers to expose itself and it destroyed (literally) Jade's room, thrashing and smashing against the walls, tearing apart all of the furniture and posters, clothes and papers.
When Jade had calmed down, he felt that something had opened up in his mind, that being the part of his mind that enables the use of his powers. Also, looking around at the destruction, he felt somehow relieved/happy, which was a weird reaction. He wasn't able to explain to anyone the state of the room but others just assumed that he smashed the things in his room up as he was too sad and needed a way to vent his anger.
When his aunt came to bring him back to America, he saw it as a new start to life. He had also sworn to himself that he would not let his powers rage out of control like that, preferring to hone his powers and figure out the various limitations behind it himself.
Superpower: Psychokinesis.
The way that Jade uses Psychokinesis is different from other ways. It might be similar to some, but this is how I would want Psychokinesis to be used.
The part of Jade's mind that enables Psychokinesis is able to reach out and extend into the surroundings, sort of like reaching out with your hands. In this way, Jade is able to use his mind to move things as just like moving things with a hand. Also, to read others' minds, Jade just has to feel for the target's mind and feel around for a weak spot where he will make use of to break into the person's mind.
In the person's mind, usually the thoughts that he/she is thinking at the moment comes through first, although, with some digging, Jade will be able to see the person's memories. Although, this is not unlimited as it is very easy to get lost inside a person's memories and never be able to go back into his own body. The first time this happened, Jade was lucky as he managed to find his way out by following the trail of the most recent memories. This is what puts Jade off reading other people's minds at the moment. The dangerous part is that at every second, the person is gaining more and more memories as they experience more things so if Jade cannot exit the person's mind faster than the rate that new memories are coming up, he might be trapped in the person's mind forever.
The way his powers are used means that Jade can't just make himself fly. Sort of like how you can't carry yourself with your hands. The only way he can fly is probably using his mind to grab hold of things like walls and lampposts and pull on it, causing a force that causes his body to go towards it. Also, using his "hands", he is able to block attacks as well as launch attacks on enemies by lashing out quickly with his mind, sort of like hitting others' with your hands.

Yeah, its kinda long after the edits so I enclosed it in spoiler tags.
@MancerNecro: Good, this is heaps better than before, suffice to say you are Accepted!
And yes, there will be points where you can meet up with others, whether it is in the streets or fighting somewhere around the world. You can team up with others once you've met them and make a league of superhumans or go at it alone, thats pretty much the gist of it.
Events will happen through television and radio, where there will be broadcasts of stuff such as get-togethers or places in need of help. Supplied by yours truely of course.
If there are any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
Now with Dante done, I will start on Paige, still deciding on a superpower but she will like to work in a group so will be actively looking for others to join with to make a league for thoes interested in fighting in a group whereas Dante will be by himself.
Jade: .........
Dante: .........
Jade: .........
Dante: .........
*They gained a quest level/a support level (from Fire Emblem)*
It'll be lol, with two anti-social people together. And I realise that there are a lot of rich people here, but I guess you'd have to be rich/influential/powerful? in a way to have powers and be able to meet other people like that in the world. Imagine, suddenly a poor person takes an aeroplane to a place with the air ticket costing S$2000-3000+!
It'll be something to look forward to. Jade will be going neutral, I guess, neither bad nor good, but drawn into the conflict because of his powers.
Sorry Mancer, your wrong.
It'll be:
Jade: .........
Dante: .........
Jade: .........
Dante: .........
Jade: .........
Dante: "I work by myself" *runs off*
I expect Dante to be netural aswell, but he will see it more as being good. I think he would want to fight others more than team up. (I have sibbling rivalry all worked out.)
Appearance: A tall boy, Shawn is a little over 6 feet tall. He has brown hair, which he likes to cut short, so he doesn't have to deal with it as much. His eyes are blue, and his skin is tanned almost red. He has wide shoulders, with muscular arms, but has a bit of a belly. He consideres himself average-looking, not very memorable or attractive.
He wears clothes that are easy to discard, repair, or replace. Most of these clothes are from second-hand stores or charity bins. He owns many pairs of button-up shirts (with snaps, not buttons), which he has cut the arms off of. He wears camoflage cargo shorts and sandals, forgoing socks or undergarments. When at home or just walking around the city, when he doesn't expect to use his powers, he wears a much different outfit. He wears long sleeved shirts, usually button-up shirts that he didn't cut the arms off of, and tan slacks. He wears heavy work boots (the steel-toe kind) and grey socks.
Personality: A quiet person, he usually keeps away from others, watching and listening to them quietly. This combined with his size tends to unnerve people. He will often wander away from things, only to focus on something else before returning. When he does interact with others, he tends to shy away from physical contact unless around girls, who he doesn't mind touching. He doesn't speak often, and when he does it is either incredibly relevant or completly non sequiter.
He is a bit of a coward, afraid of conflict or commitment. He usually comes across as a happy, almost ditzy person, because that persona comes almost naturally to him. If he tries to befriend people, he will tend to play up this aspect, but often drives people away by coming on too strong. He becomes flustered by this, because when he acts more subtle and closer to his apathetic self, people are unnerved by how intimidating he seems.
He never rushes into things, prefering to hang back and analyze a situation and formulate a plan. He remembers almost everything, using past experience and an analytical mind to solve problems. This usually doesn't work well for social interactions, because he takes a long time to plan and overfocuses on his subject. His personality can almost be described as "cat-like". He wants attention and to belong, but he is unsure about how to get it, and always places himself above others. He believes that everything is balanced: for every strength there is a weakness. He consoles himself by noting that he has focused on his mind and body throughout his life, and his social life must take the hit.
History: Born in a large city to a middle-class family, Shawn had a comfortable life. He never fit in with others, leading a fairly lonely and uneventful childhood. He would often wander away from the humans who so easily bored him, and liked to run. He never had many friends, and would often stay at home with his cat and a book. He believed that he was optimizing his chances of success by increasing his brain power and his physical strength.
He was often skipped ahead in school due to his intelligence, and was the only 10 year old freshman his high school had ever had. He surpassed his fellow students mentally, but was physically inferior due to his age. He would panic slightly if he was surrounded by people, and whenever he was challenged he ran away. He graduated at age 14, but has been unable to get a job due to his age. He stayed at home and assisted his parents around the house, waiting for something new.
On his sixteenth birthday, his powers manifested. After the small celebration was held, he went to his room feeling sick. He sat on his bed, staring at his cat, and suddenly became an identical cat! At first surprised, he soon learned he could change shape at will. He greatly enjoyed his newfound abilities, and absorbed himself in reading and learning about various types of animals he could become. At night he would practice various animal shapes, finding out what he could and could not do. He would often visit the zoo to observe animals in a pseudo-natural habitat, in order to learn about their abilities. He got a job as a message carrier, a job which allowed him to move through the city quickly and carry packages for people. In this way he learned his way around the city, and for fun would travel as various animals. He found bird forms to be faster but less enjoyable, and his arms got tired easily.
Superpower: Shapeshifting. Shawn can change into animal form, either completely or in part. For example, he could transform into a cat, or just transform his eyes into cat's eyes. He can transform into animals of similar size easily, or animals larger or smaller with some concentration. Animals too large or too small cause strain on his body, and he can only remain in these forms for a limited time.
Theme Song: Tarzan Boy by Baltimora
RP Sample:
Spoiler:
Nena wakes up to the sound of police sirens. She peers out of the dumpster she's sleeping in, looking to see where it's coming from. She sees Doug emerge from his box, also confused.
"What's going on?" asks Doug. "They're testing the sirens. Seeing how many people they can wake up," answers Nena.
"Oh. Well it worked. We're up." Doug looks for his shoes, finding one for each foot. He stands and heads out to look at the street. "Police cars. Looks like somebody broke into the store. Every store, actually."
"Really? Let's see what we can grab! They won't notice two more people!" Nena gets out of bed, grabbing her shoes and purse. "Come on Mar-Mar! There's a sale!"
Doug had already left, and Nena barely caught up with him. They went to the closest store they could find, a gas station. While Doug started to grab some food, Nena got distracted by the television. Nena went to join in the looting, grabbing a bag of bread from a shelf and two bottles of blue drink from a fridge. She grabbed a bottle of vodka from a shelf, putting them all in her satchel. Doug appeared, holding a shotgun. "Look what I found behind the counter!" They move on to the next store, Nena putting her purse in her satchel and cinching it close to her.
The traffic has picked up, and several people flee from the sight of the hobo with a shotgun. Nena moves on ahead, leaving Doug to raid a ditched car. She hears the sirens, and sees a policeman holding a gun on Doug. She turns to help, but an explosion goes off not far away. Doug tries to run, and the frightened cop shoots, striking him in the head. Nena watches her friend fall to the ground, and things go black.
She awkens soon after, alone. She hears the sound of running footsteps, and ses a group of people rushing towards her. She notices the blood stains on them, and knows that she can't fight this many people alone. She turns and flees down the street, seeking somewhere to hide.
I have a feeling that Jade would more likely lean towards good as well, more likely being forced to fight otherwise he would die/the world would die/something worse that affects him as well. Although, I can imagine him switching sides a few times depending on who would give him better benefits but being on the good side in the end.
^Dante is just plain selfish, usually if it doesn't benefit him or affect him in anyway, then i doubt he would do it.
@GodZil: EDIT: Appearance needs more description, in both categories. Personality needs 2+ paragraphs, not 1. History: I would like a little more 'meat' in it please. SPuerpower description is a little sketchy. Overall: you are reserved, 'beef' it up a bit please.
