I won't accept partially done forms, sorry Carcin! C: Dr. Bones, this starts right after the explosion. But I'm sure there will be plenty of flashbacks throughout the role play. ^^ And I'm so sorry I'm such a stickler when it comes to set up but I'm set in my ways and this is (in my experience) the best way to avoid flaky folks. I promise I'm not this picky when it comes to the actual role-play! <3 ![]() Edited on 11/09/15 @ 16:31:37 by Kailani (#18301) |

Name: Euphemia Louise “Eppie” Moore Personality Ever since she was young, Eppie has been very independent. When her mother first bought the parsonage, a young Eppie would spend long days exploring the derelict and often dangerous church beside it. She cleared most of the sanctuary of debris before her mother had even bought work gloves. She has always acted with an innate optimism and confidence and has broken bones and needed stitches in the process. These have never stopped her from taking initiative in her life, whether in her mother’s church or elsewhere. Rarely does she meet problems that can’t be solved with quick thinking and some duct tape. On the other hand, she is used to acting rashly and taking matters into her own hands. She tends to be a control freak and is very stubborn. She oozes pride and is very unlikely to change her mind or stance on a situation, even if she realizes she is wrong about it. She does not like being wrong, at all, but she is not caustic or incredibly prone to going rouge. She’s not dumb enough to cut ties every time she does something wrong or doesn’t agree with something, but she tends to remember things for a really long time. That said, she never dislikes a person just for breathing, but she can be a little underhanded. Especially now, with everyone trying to survive, her first loyalty is to herself and those she more or less makes immediate friends with, and she will survive by whatever means necessary. She was the type of girl to make a lot of acquaintances, a few true friends, and even the odd frienemy or two. Background In the fall 92', a young girl walked onto campus for her second year of college. Bright-eyed, innocent, and devout, she ran into a young TA older and wiser than herself. Sparks flew, and they were married before their three-month anniversary. She became with child a shockingly short time later and was abandoned before the first ultrasound. Stalwartly, she refused to quit college and come home, much to the disdain of her overtly devout and faithful parents. She instead threw herself into her schoolwork and readying the apartment left to her by her wayward husband. She managed to finish out her second year of college and brought her daughter into the world on July 11th, in the summer of 1993. She named the child after a saint whose miracle was celebrated that day. She found continuing school with a baby was a lot harder than she imagined. It took a lot of pinching and late nights, but she managed to get through it with the help of an elderly woman a floor below her. Eppie, as she called her daughter, was raised with love angels would content of, but hardships were frequent in their little apartment until her mother got set up working at a private Catholic school. This delighted her, as it meant she could send her daughter there for school, and Eppie could be taught right, by proper nuns and everything. Eventually, in 1999, they could afford enough to move out of the apartment and into a little pastor's house beside an abandoned church. Eppie's mother had dreams of fixing the place up and refitting it into some sort of house for the less fortunate, mainly women who were in the same place she had been in nine years before. Eppie, however, was reverent to her mother's faith, but that was all. She did not share her mother's staunch piety; Eppie was more…indifferent. All she wanted was to be a school teacher, like her mother, and write a bestseller. Maybe something about far off kingdoms and adventures. Eppie stayed in private school the entire duration of gradeschool and got relatively well marks on her final tests. In 2010, she went to a private college in a quaint college town, but she was never far from her mother in spirit. They communicated constantly, her mother giving her constant updates on her project that Eppie was sure would never happen. After she graduated in the spring, her mother surprised her with a cruise trip before she started her first year of teaching. She and two of her good education cohort buddies boarded the ship, expecting the best summer sendoff they could hope for. Reason For Attending the Cruise: A gift from her mother upon finishing her last year of college. She went on it with a few of her friends, but none of the others seemed to have survived. ![]() Edited on 11/09/15 @ 17:03:34 by Carcin (#32695) |

![]() Age: 23 Gender: Male Appearance: His hair is brownish blonde, slightly short and in need of some grooming. He's around six foot five, with a medium-muscular build. His eye color is a hazel-brown, and his weight is around 195 pounds. He is somewhat gangly, as he is getting used to his height (due to a growth spurt in his 20s). he does have a bit of facial hair around his jaw and below his nose. Personality: Gero is somewhat confused about himself. He knows he's supposed to do things one way or act a certain way, but innately he wants to do something almost completely different. He tends to shove such thoughts out of his head, or at least tries to, but he most often ends up thinking about his problems if he isn't constantly being bothered. He is able to make friends, but he tends to whine to them about his problems ever once in a while. He's very quick to trust, and doesn't seem to notice if he's being used if the "friend" listens to him frequently. He gets very offended when someone doesn't agree with him, but also very confused, thinking everyone now hates him. He's pretty much very naive. He's developed into a more conniving route over the past few months, but like everything Gero does, His emotions are kept on his sleeve. You'd have to be really bad at reading people to not catch wind of his plots. Background: Gero is an average middle-class man, maybe with very bad luck. He was a below-average student in high school, and dropped out of college due to him failing and generally not doing well (unknown to his parents, his difficulty was more because he loved sneaking in on the greek life parties). His parents are a bit exasperated, but they have tried to find their son work. Since the age of 19, Gero has held a few jobs, but he usually lasted a few weeks to a few months. Reason? Multiple. In one he managed to work for a year, getting promoted to right below manager, but a coworker managed to find out he was trying to blame an incident on the boss, when it was his, and was promptly fired. He barely escaped legal harm. Exasperated by his parents and by the world, Gero decided to take a job where he wouldn't see them: on a cruise ship. As his luck would have it, it would be a cruise liner. And luck would not have it, the cruise liner exploded. Reason For Attending the Cruise: He was working as a crewman on board! He mostly was working below decks, cleaning and doing other janitorial work. Power Developed from Exposure: Rapid Healing Factor [a la Deadpool: practically impossible to kill him due to how quick it is. A boon and a curse. Mostly a curse.] Other: How many times can I hurt this poor man? Many. I am gonna take full advantage of that power. Aaaand if possible, I half want to blame the explosion on him, if that would be a-ok. He'd definitely manage to make an AC fail somehow. If not, well, for once Gero wasn't the one who did something wrong! Roleplay Sample: Link Just a single post, pretty dang long :| Give me... a bit to figure out what the heck the code is on this forum. I can't mooch off quoted ports, unfortunately. ![]() Edited on 11/09/15 @ 17:27:04 by [Side]winder (#71221) |

Eppie is accepted! Sidewinder I'm supper iffy on the whole 'rapid healing' power, as I've rarely seen it role-played without the writer getting into god modding. I'll give you some leeway and accept Gero but I'll be watching you like a nitpicky hawk. X3 And I actually already have someone to blame for the explosion (every good superhero story's gotta have a villain, HINT HINT EVERYONE <3). ![]() |

Appearance: A rather underwhelming man in his late twenties, of an average build and height. The mixed blood of his Mulatto mother and white father give him a pleasant enough set of features, but he has never considered himself truly attractive. His hair is a very dark shade of brown, his skin has a healthy tan and his dark eyes look at the world with a sort of wry amusement that makes people judge him as cynical at first. His muscles, while not impressive, are well enough toned that he appears well suited for his job under the deck. [borrowing the likeness of one Thomas Chatterton Williams for visual reference] Personality: Samuel is a kind person. He's more observant than people give him credit for, and uses their misconceptions about him remorselessly for personal gain, but refrains from harming another without good reason. He prefers actions to words, and often has trouble socializing due to his terseness. He is a skilled technician and loves tinkering, often showing more fondness for machines than people. Background: Sam is the son of a young barmaid and her jolly sailor bold. The boy first met his father at the age of eight and immediately took a liking to his profession: ship enigneering. He and his mother lived in a port city, moving from one hovel to another, fending off poverty. His father supported them financially however he could, feeling guilty for leaving his shore-leave paramour pregnant with nothing but a few basic belongings to her name. It was mainly thanks to him that Sam could go to school, and mainly thanks to Sam's own persistence and hard work that he could learn for and get his dream job. The post on the huge cruiser is his greatest achievement so far - and he feels shattered that it will be his last. In the blast, he got trapped in between two metal boilers, sustaining severe burns and losing his right leg, with only half of his thigh left for a stump. Reason For Attending the Cruise: works for the company chartering the ship. Power Developed from Exposure: metal manipulation on atomic level - can control even the barest traces of any metal around him, shaping and moving it at will. This comes with a high awareness of all magnetic fields within a certain radius of him. Other: n/a Roleplay Sample: Muttering to himself, Sam inspected the control panel of the boiler for the seventh time. The heating and air conditioning systems were not connected, but he had a hunch that the mysterious malfunction of the machinery keeping the cargo bay cool might have something to do with the passengers' complaints about the lack of hot water that started pouring in sometime around three a.m. that day. The boilers were hot, indicating there must be something wrong in the piping. "Hey Sammy, need a hand there?" asked a bright, cheerful voice behind him. Samuel flinched. "No, thanks for asking. I'm fine," he answered. He'd have to squeeze himself behind the massive canisters to examine the valves placed irresponsibly so far from convenient access; he would receive no help from the bulky assistant, despite his eagerness. "Carry on, Donnie." The boy looked only slightly disappointed; this wasn't the first time Sam rejected him. For some reason, the boy made it his goal to befriend his superior, but accepted his defeats in that field with an easy dignity and cheerfulness that has already won him more sympathy from Sam than any other coworker could hope for. It was hot between the boilers; Sam wiped his brow. He was on edge because of the air conditioning's malfunction; he did not know whether it was the heat or the stress that made him sweat more. He carefully slid between the metal walls, trying to avoid getting burned. ------- I hope this is sufficient; is an image necessary? If yes, I'll add it later, and might need to alter the appearance slightly, I need sleep now... ^^' as I haven't roleplayed in ages, I needed to type something up on the spot. ![]() Edited on 13/09/15 @ 13:37:23 by Tirrathee [pfm] (#58785) |

Lia- Font's fine (size and color)! ^^ Alright y'all I'm going to go ahead and get this show on the road! I'm going to post a 'prelude' that will further clarify exactly what happened to the Zenith and will introduce our 'villain'. He will be a sort of NPC character that will mostly be there to establish a camaraderie between our characters. I'd like for everyone to have some connection to him (even if it's a 'Six Degrees of Separation' type of thing), to establish a 'bigger picture' here. Feel free to include flashbacks with interactions to our villain at your own discretion, as I said he's kind of an NPC character that anyone can 'control'. ![]() Edited on 11/09/15 @ 18:23:57 by Kailani (#18301) |

@kailani: Noted! I'm actually going to outline what rapid healing would entail, so you can hold it against me if I stray outta it or knock it into something more appropriate: Small cuts that break skin heal in about 5 minutes. Bruises within a single minute. Broken bones take a day or two. Deeper cuts may take 5-25 minutes, depending on how large of a blood vessel is cut. Bleeding will stop after 10 minutes. Loss of a limb or more will result in him falling into an unconscious "dead" phase for a day or more, depending on severity. Regeneration will occur during this time, though at a slow pace, much like the motion of the sun in the sky. ETA: Lia-Lin, I have the feeling I'm gonna need to paste your posts into word to be able to read them ;<; If you could make it at least 12 pt font, I'd be so happy, thank you! ![]() Edited on 11/09/15 @ 18:48:41 by [Side]winder (#71221) |
