Birthday: 28th October
Education: Studying to complete a Master's Degree
Background: Dylan Davidson was born in a small, regional town in North Queensland, Australia. His childhood was about average except for a few things. His home was an ex-nightclub. This meant a few things. He could walk to most of the bars in town, and he kept his home stocked as his private bar. Threw some wicked parties.
He was bullied a lot. At least until his powers began to manifest. They first manifested when he was twelve. Some kid was bullying him, and Dylan just snapped. He didn't mean to, but he pushed the kid in front of a bus with his Kinetics. Then the adults around tried to calm him down. Law enforcement got involved. Dylan just had to get out of there. That was when his Seeker abilities manifested. He teleported home. It took him a couple years to get a grip on his powers, but still suffers the guilt from killing the other kid. That was when he started exploring sorcery and magic. Honing his skills. When he was seventeen, he tried bring the kid he killed back to life. The result was horrific. Not the boy being revived, but for Dylan. The meta-math was all wrong. The boy didn't even come close to being resurrected. The spell just opened a rift. What happened next isn't really concrete. Dylan isn't sure what was real and what was a hallucination in this next part.
Dylan found himself in front of a council of Gods who told him the roles of being a Seeker. He became afflicted with several horrific visions. He was told he was to make sure that the timeline was to progress as it was meant to. Told some shit about free will and the dangers of magic.
He then woke up in a shitty motel.
Jump foreword to now, and Dylan has just been transferred to Emberstone. Presumably because that's where the Gods want him.

Abilities:
Kinetics - A branch of magic that specialises in moving things with your mind. Similar to Telekinesis, but the origin is magical as opposed to Psionic.
Prásinos-Pyrokinesis - A form of fire manipulation that uses a green flame. It is hotter and more intense than regular flame, but harder to control. Green Flame is also resistant to being extinguished by water.
Seeker - By being a Seeker, David has a few extra gifts. Including Teleportation and Astral Projection. This also comes at the cost of horrific and prophetic visions and voices that plague his mind.
Mixologist - It seems like an extension of Kinetics, or more broadly magic, but Dylan's skill in making cocktails is far beyond what is natural. He is able to make drinks that taste like concepts or time periods.
Magic - the broader ability. Very open ended. With enough ingredients, and prep time, this could conceivably be used to do anything. However, when casting spells, there is huge potential for things to go wrong if the meta-math doesn't add up. Think of it this way, the universe is like a stream. Magic alters the path of the stream. Too sharp a turn, and inertia happens. Causing a sort of existential whiplash that can seperate you from reality as a whole. Throwing you into a void.

I have a character who could potentially be Zella's sibling. She also controls shadows and has that sense of cynical sarcasm and doesn't get along well with others. I present to you... Syd!

BASICS
Name: "It's Sicily de Guzman, but don't ever call me that. I go by Syd."
Species: shadow witch
Ability: shadow manipulation. Shadowbinder (uses shadows to attack and strangle. Ineffective in bright light conditions). Mute (disables one sense of target for 5 mins).
Age: 18
D.O.B.: "September 16th, but does that, like, really matter?"

PHYSICAL
Height: 5'8" "It makes it kinda hard to date guys if you know what I mean."
Build: Tall and toned
Skin: sandy hued
Eye: dark grey
Build: slender
Orientation: unknown
Status: single
Tattoos/piercings: black chrome eyebrow piercing, three studs on both ears
Hair: dark brown kinky (as in curly, but more jagged/angled curls) hair that goes to mid back

DEEPER
Languages: English, Spanish
Habits: smokes occasionally, doesn't really ever drink bc she dislikes the taste
Personality: sarcastic, cynical, and blunt. She isn't afraid of her feelings and voicing her opinion. This often gets her in trouble, although she wouldn't say that she actively goes looking for it. "People can judge all they want. Doesn't change a thing."
Background/bio: half-sister of Zella Keeling, just began attending Emberstone this year
Notes: Open to having this character killed off. Open to crush/relationship.

This unusual talent would soon cause fear and discord in their small community of people already oppressed by poverty to shun the family and their special child. The family soon would immigrate to England where the family would once again try to find peace and stability.

There is! We're about to have a new student mixer in the thread so that will be a good time to fit new characters in. Just post a character sheet here and you should be good to go
 
Awesome, is there a specific template I need to follow, or can I just use my own?

Also, is there a limit to how many people can have the same power, because I intended to play a Shadowmancer, but it seems someone is already using that.

You can use your own template! And now having two shadow manipulators, we'd all appreciate something different. Would you mind selecting another gift?

Description: (a picture would be fine)
Personality:
Ability:
Bio:


This is a similar template to what everyone uses. And weather manipulation is great
 
(EDIT: SO glad this site saves drafts! Damn you google crash!)

Name: Alex King
Age: 20
Height: 6'0
Build: lean, thin
Orientation: Straight
Description: Tall, thin, short, shifting blue grey eyes. messy dark hair, small beard, can wear a suit when needed but usually just tosses on the first t-shirt he finds in his drawers. Hunched posture.
Personality: Often lost in his own thoughts with an analytical personality to match, Alex alternates between politely reserved and formal to melodramatic troll. Much like the weather he manipulates, Alex can be extremely pleasant and even comforting at his best to downright terrifying at his most enraged. No matter what though, Alex is the kind to say what he means and mean what he says. He doesn't like to offend people for it's own sake, but he has strong disdain for group think and beleives in doing things because HE thinks it is right. Regardless of how others feel. This often makes him come across as arrogant and stubborn. A trait not entirely undeserved. Despite that though, he is capable of great generosity and kindness beneath the occasionally condescending exterior.
Ability: Weather Manipulation.
Bio: People always seem to think that the Gifted are only ever abused by non-Gifted, Alex knows this is a lie. One of the few people who's entire immediate family was gifted, you would think this would be a blessing for Alex, but this only gave his abusive parents MORE power over him. More ways to make him feel small, more ways to make him feel embarassed and useless. And of course, like many an abuser, they convinced him that HE was the problem, not them. That they looked after him and protected him from the ungifted. That he should be grateful for all they sacrifice for him.

Coming to the college and finally having some independence away from them has given him the chance to start breaking away from their influence. He's slowly starting to gain some real mastery over his powers (Whereas before he could barely manage more than a fog or some static electricity) and he can now see their abuse for what it is. However, much of their toxic attitude still lingers, and it may take awhile before he can truly pull free of their hold on his life.
 
Is that acceptable? I have the link to the thread, so if you want, I could just make an opening post.
 
So, what's the ruling for NSFW content in this RP? Obviously, it's not going to be the focus (Hell, my character might not get involved in that at all), but is it a move to PM? Keep it PG? Anything goes? A seperate thread? What's the policy there?
 
The forum we're in is rated R, most anything is good to go. We're pretty open minded in that aspect lol. If another character is involved and you aren't sure, good rule of thumb is to check what that player is comfortable with
