S.H.I.E.L.D.: Avengers Academy (Superhero RP|OOC|Semi-Open)

[Kingdom of Irhk]

Essel, about Shadow's teleportation:

It works on an effort basis. When he only teleports himself, it's quicker and it's a normal effort. However, the more people he carry, the tired he gets. The effort between the movement also matters: If he continues to follow the inertia of the movement, it will be easier than fighting Physics and cutting the inertia of the movement. Basically, don't expect him to be the massive teleporter: He will do it mostly alone.

Also, edit made about the Weaknesses.

Quick question. Isn't Phil Coulson dead? Loki killed him, I thought.

Jesus Christ.
Hate to break it to you, but no.
Not sure if he appears in any of the newer Avengers movies (I forget) but he reappears in Agents of Shield. He was dead, then not dead. It's a long story including spoilers.

I though he was just critically injured. And then Nick Fury showed them his vintage cards with blood on it to motivate them. Maybe I'm remembering it wrong though.

He died, but, via the T.A.H.I.T.I. project, using

Ignore previous app, gonna try a different character. Using this post for tag.

[Utceforp]

Ooh, this looks like fun.

Name: Clayton Procyon | Cassander
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Appearance: Clayton is white, a little over six feet tall, and has shaggy off-blond hair and blue eyes. He is rather thin, with not much in the way of muscles. Typically wears red sweatpants and a red sweatshirt.
Personality: Generally light-hearted and cheerful. Employs sarcasm frequently, and enjoys cracking jokes at others' expense. Can be stubborn at times, a pushover at others; it depends on how much he cares about the outcome of the situation. Focuses mostly on himself, but does care about his friends.
Occupation: Streetside fortune teller
Skills/Hobbies: Good with a sword when he needs to be. High stamina from exercise. Likes to collect sweatshirts, which he has declared the best garment. Sometimes likes finding random people and looking through their lives to entertain himself.
Abilities/Powers: Precognition, retrocognition, and time travel. His precognition shows him many possible futures, all branching off from bigger streams, giving a huge number of possibilities. Retrocognition just shows the absolute past, as that has already been set in stone.
Weaknesses: Very little in the way of fighting skills. Avoids time travel whenever possible thanks to hands-on experience with paradoxes.
Biography: Clayton Procyon was born in the Eastern European nation of Sokovia, where he was orphaned at a young age thanks to the war. He lived on the streets for a time, barely scraping by and constantly harassed by other street dwellers. One day, after provoking a street gang (which he maintains was a misunderstanding), he was being chased throughout the city. Desperate to find a hiding spot, he noticed some rich-looking gentlemen looking for volunteers to live in the nice castle overlooking the city. He volunteered in order to escape the gang, and was inducted into Hydra's Enhancement program. There they experimented on him using Loki's Scepter, eventually giving him the ability to see both forwards and backwards in time. He was hailed as a success by his overseers.
Several years later, when Clayton was 12, he looked further into the future than he ever had before, and was shocked by what he saw- Sokovia, floating above the Earth in ruins, then smashing back down. He immediately decided to flee Sokovia, believing he would die if he stayed. He snuck out of the Hydra compound with some stolen clothes and cash, found his way to the nearest airport, and got on the first plane out of the country- which, as fortune would have it, was destined for New York City. Less than a year later, Sokovia would be destroyed by Ultron and the Avengers.
Now in America, Clayton set up shop in Central Park as a fortune teller, taking the alias 'Cassandra', after the first fortune teller he could think of. This was quickly altered to Cassander once he realized that lead people to believe he was a girl. Over the next few years, Clayton made a living telling fortunes to anybody who would buy them, staying in his makeshift home in Central Park. When he was 15, he accidentally discovered another side affect from the experiments: he could travel through time. He made a trip back, to see if he could alter history to his benefit; to his horror, the alterations instead had terrible consequences. Although he did manage to get back on the proper timeline, the event made him never want to mess with time travel again.
A few months before his 18th birthday, a different type of man walked into his fortune booth than what Clayton normally got. A man claiming to be able to help his use his powers for the good of mankind, bearing an offer to join the Avengers.

Also, precognition is useless to this guy because he will have almost no way to avoid attacks by super powered individuals or large groups of soldiers. I would suggest different powers.

[Ameriganastan]

Name: Mikhail Toporov (Михаил Топоров)
Age: 33
Gender: Male
Appearance: Peeks past a skinny 6'2. Wears a pair of thick, horned rim glasses. Gray eyes. Brown hair, already receded. Sports a rather outdated mustache. Rarely seen in anything but a drab, beige suit.
Personality: Neurotic and fastidious. Tends to ramble when he talks. Has a habit of trying to analyze someone when meeting.
Skills/Hobbies: Mikhail has an almost superhuman adeptness as psychoanalysis and personality analysis. Has one more than once been tested to see if it comes from a power, but all tests came back negative. When locked in a room, he can break even the strongest of minds. His abilities also, however, make him an adept therapist and trauma coach. In his off time, he likes tending to his mini topiary's and painting.
Weaknesses Mikhail is not a strong fighter or adept marksman. He prefers to let the super people and physically skilled agents do the hard stuff. Also has a notorious problem with authority.
Equipment: One TT-30 Tokarev pistol. For self-defense only.
Codename/Alias?: Counselor
Biography: Russia. Known for producing the likes of Emil Blonksy, Peter Rasputin and Natasha Romanoff...and then there's guys like Mikhail Toporov. Enlisting in the Russian Military at 22, Mikhail had dreams of being the latest badass to come out of Mother Russia...he was not the next badass to come out of Mother Russia. He washed out of every conceivable branch of the service, from infantry to air-force. His only fallback option came from a distant uncle in the police force, and he found himself a cop in a go-nowhere section of Siberia. Even there, he wasn't much use. His was pulled from street duty after a month, and saddled with a pointless desk job. His luck changed the day a notorious mob hitman came through his station. That was when he discovered his actual talent. Years of observing people had left him with a surprising knack for reading people. In a matter of hours, Mikhail used his silver tongue and skills of personality reading to get the famously silent killer to spill nearly everything he knew. Locations of bodies, names of superiors, meeting places, the works. Mikhail had found his niche: As a criminal analyst. From his dead end Siberian station, he began moving up. After a few years in Irkutsk, he finally worked his way all the way to Moscow. A job with the GRU and a gigantic paycheck was in the works, when he got a different offer: From S.H.I.E.L.D. Mikhail's talents had garnered their attention. Frankly, he'd had enough of wasting his time in his home country. And before he knew it, he was on a plane to S.H.I.E.L.D.
