All that really needs to be said is that Mighty Asgard has weir log-in times, to be frank. :P

On a different note, I'll probably have this class end soon. Sorry if it wasn't terribly interesting, I was kind of at a loss on what to do.

It's a starting class. Makes sense for more introduction stuff than anything actually exciting yet.

And Mighty Asgard's log in times do seem rather random.

Also, I haven't seen Altruistic Paladin's in a while.

Edit: Eh, they were on today apparently.

What does "absolute speed" actually mean? Is it just super-speed or is it something else?

It is basically super speed taken to it's logical conclusion, hypothetical infinite acceleration and velocity and reaction time. Of course to be fair, I threw in some realism.....she can only go so fast before her body falls apart. Haya's powers are way ahead of her bodies ablity to cope with them at their limits, she's also not an expert with her powers, good, but not a master. Just like a cars engine, her body has a "redline", if she pushes too hard on a single shot or uses her powers too frequently she could die from exhaustion and joint damage.

Alright, as long as she can never actually reach limitless abilities and retains reasonable limits to her power level it is no problem. The character is accepted.

I promise to keep hers powers reasonable. Using her powers as straight out speed (in a straight line) will most likely be a rare thing (as using that aspect of her ablities, like I said, is dangerous for numerous reasons), she's probably going to use the agility and more nuanced aspects of her powers more often.


but thanks for the acceptance!

I'm ALIVE, Praise Bill Cosby and all his Antics!

Anyway, hello there fellow Rper's, I was once a active Rper, but then a trifecta of factors struck so hard they would've collapsed the roman empire hit me

a(eh, for the Canadians): My sweet, sweet, Lappie(Laptop) died and was banished from mostly pleasure internet things for eons(or until hl3 came out)

bae: All my teachers, became hypersalt mode and decided it was an amazing idea, to be moderate annoyances in regarding to homework and other such matters.

c: I now had to occupy my time with other activities, but when internet access returned to me I had no time for this lovely Rp. But we have a saying, where I come from: Red or Green? Christmas.

On a serious note, if it is possible for such a late comer such as I to get back in may I assume control of P3X-Wilson, and P3Y-Edward?

It's great to be back!

Much Huggles, Retro Frost

Name: Sierra Khando (going as Savannah Jorden)
Gender: female
Age: 15
Nationality: American
Height: 105
Weight: 5'1
Hair: long, black
Eyes: brown
Costume (if any): none yet
Abilities:

Enhanced abilities - Sierra has better abilities than she should reasonably have. Her agility allows her jump higher, jump farther, and land more efficiently than should be so for her. Her speed is improved, working in conjunction with her agility to enhance her mobility. Her senses and perception are attuned in a manner to make this agility more efficient and non-cognizant, effectively making it easier to do things easier, enhancing her balance and giving her movements more deliberation than otherwise normal. Basically, she is a bit better in regards to mobility and has some increased situational awareness.

"Doesn't Know When to Quit" - Sierra has some amount of abnormal resilience. While getting injured is one matter, dying is another matter entirely. Basically, this power grants two changes to questions of constitution. The first is that, while an execution is still a reliable way of killing her, killing her as a result of injuries sustained in a fight is not reliable. The second is that this resilience is that, given the right state of mind, Sierra can achieve physical feats that a person of her injuries should not be able to pull, or potentially go without pain, thus gaining greater capabilities at the costs that the limits are there to prevent in the first place. To prevent abuse of this power, Sierra is not aware of this power.
Dorm: Hero
Brief Bio: Sierra's life started-off with some interesting tidbits. Sierra is a third-generation Tibetan American, whose Tibetan grandfather basically had no intentions of living in Colorado or America at large until the CIA program he was training-in shut-down with Nixon's attempts at establishing diplomatic relations with the PRC and stranded him there. She was fairly accomplished in athletics and had some popularity as a result. Things started to change around 2008 as circumstances turned for the worse, and have gone downhill since in regard to household health, friends, and finances.

A bombshell was dropped recently when a tiny flying robot delivered a message to her while on a morning jog. The robot said that it could recognize that she had was empowered, and was thus was a last resort option. He told her that he was an empowered person who had traded in his human one for a robotic body, and was thus in need of somebody who could be somewhat trusted. The robot had a larger body that ran out of power and needed to be dragged to the robot's vehicle to be recharged. When questioned on the reasoning for her, robot said that it could recognize that she had was empowered, and was thus the most reasonable gamble. She assisted the robot, the robot acting to keep the act secret. With the task completed, the robot thanked her and gave her a recommendation to attend the Academy for the Empowered.


Name: Chloe Dorsey (going as "Chloe Jackson")
Gender: female
Sex: female
Age: 15 (biologically and mentally; chronologically is 83)
Nationality: American
Height: 5'5
Weight: 115
Hair: short, black, characterized by two-strand twists
Eyes: brown
Costume (if any): leather jacket, rugged boots, khaki cargo pants, protective goggles, bandana (worn as mask) M1 helmet
Abilities: "compensation" (the ability to create translucent hard matter for a temporary time period, conferring the ability to make weapons, equipment, armor out of this in addition to the ability to add to the environment with this same material to the environment [temporarily, of course])
Dorm: Hero
Brief Bio: Born in rural Georgia, Chloe moved to New York City in 1936. Chloe was mostly a recluse more interested in matters of art history and comics than other people. On that day, a meteor crashed onto Earth. The size of a bowling ball and glowing red, it crashed into the reclusive Chloe.

Images of a nightmarish creature occasionally popped into mind as she slipped into unconsciousness. Once unconscious, an unchanging nightmare began with figures that looked as though they were of a bad impressionist painting haunted her visions. The uncanny pseudo-people, with jagged faces and smiles that emphasized nothing good. All attempts at escape progressed nothing as the figures followed without movement, frozen in a frame of movement as flat images that still moved. No options were left, and the panic of being surrounded by the creatures, unsure of what they'd do, left her without options. She fantasized about having a weapon of one of her Golden Age comic heroes and destroying the creatures with them, only for the fantasy to yield results as the wave that was following her disappeared as the others charged. With it, she used a simple idea to fight them, forming a rapier and a tunnel to funnel them through, destroying them all and finally rising out of unconsciousness.

As she recovered, she noticed that the powers which she had in the dream were real. Around the same time, several people who had suffered traumatic injuries in the city had been found frozen in time and space. In an attempt to find-out who it was, she managed to sufficiently anger the person responsible as she went one-moment from being awake and on-shore to being underwater in a weighted barrel. After a struggle and nearly drowning, Chloe surfaced to a different city. With all of the frozen people having become unfrozen simultaneously around the same time she was, authorities thought that it was the product of an empowered criminal having died and no longer being able to sustain their states of suspended animation rather than any of them gaining super powers. Without any reason to warrant further attention, she was sent to live with a niece of hers. After being home-schooled for several months to give some reasonable acclimation to the modern era, she was sent to the Academy for the Empowered out of the need to maintain some sense of anonymity while acclimating to the new time.


Name: Márk Augustus Gabor
Sex: male
Gender: male
Age: 16
Nationality: Austrian
Height: 5'7
Weight: 163
Hair: blond half crown
Eyes: grey
Costume (if any): dark-grey robes (loose), surplus Moro-pattern uniform, green buccal mask
Abilities:

"China's National 'Animal'": The powers that grant oneself the ability to willingly take the form of something that crypto-"zoologists" would be happy to see. It is actually more of a collection of powers that improves with age. They are, for his age: flight (limited by the wings not being fully developed), a weaponized esophagus (in this case, electrical discharges), and flight for short periods of time. The ability has some influence by birth, and is thus transferable to offspring.

"It's not magic!" ("Clarke's Third Law"): see Taylor's application for handling of the system.

Dorm: Hero
Brief Bio: Born into a lineage of a small European pseudo-micronation that made Lichtenstein look as though it was Russia, Márk Augustus Gabor was born an obscure aristocrat. He born to the Order of the Dragon. The original Order of the Dragon had a presence in the Holy Roman Empire, Italy, and the Baltics. Unlike the historical Order of the Dragon, the organization maintained some presence into the modern era. Two instances gave the order some power previously unknown to them. During a crusade against the Ottoman Turks, several texts were plundered. Those texts gave an impressive amount of knowledge to the Order, as study of them allowed practitioners to gain various powers and one even described how more could be gained. With some rationalizing the powers as tools given from God, the Order saw fit to establish a headquarters that acted as a compound for researchers to further expand the system.

The other was the discovery of a creature from the Alps who caused quite a stir for devouring cattle. With the use of their "Gifts from God", the local Baron, who was a member, was to capture the creature with his magic and discovered the being to be a human child with a transformation ability. Arguments arose around the "dragon" with questions over the potential uses for the person and the dissonance of a "righteous" organisation with a "evil creature" used by it. A decision was ultimately reached to bring the person into the order after a baptism of the form of the "dragon" in sanction of inducting the member into the organization.

The organization grew over time in spite of many failures. Many rulers who knew how to use the powers failed to pass on knowledge out of paranoia, and thus severed future rulers from the knowledge that would ensure friendly terms with the Order of the Dragon. The receding strength of those rulers who remained often meant less was available for the coffers that funded research. The organization's one field of growth was that of the descendents of the original "dragon", some of whom seemed to inherit the ability.

Name: Sierra Khando (going as Savannah Jorden)
Gender: female
Age: 15
Nationality: American
Height: 105
Weight: 5'1
Hair: long, black
Eyes: brown
Costume (if any): none yet
Abilities:

Enhanced abilities - Sierra has better abilities than she should reasonably have. Her agility allows her jump higher, jump farther, and land more efficiently than should be so for her. Her speed is improved, working in conjunction with her agility to enhance her mobility. Her senses and perception are attuned in a manner to make this agility more efficient and non-cognizant, effectively making it easier to do things easier, enhancing her balance and giving her movements more deliberation than otherwise normal. Basically, she is a bit better in regards to mobility and has some increased situational awareness.

"Doesn't Know When to Quit" - Sierra has some amount of abnormal resilience. While getting injured is one matter, dying is another matter entirely. Basically, this power grants two changes to questions of constitution. The first is that, while an execution is still a reliable way of killing her, killing her as a result of injuries sustained in a fight is not reliable. The second is that this resilience is that, given the right state of mind, Sierra can achieve physical feats that a person of her injuries should not be able to pull, or potentially go without pain, thus gaining greater capabilities at the costs that the limits are there to prevent in the first place. To prevent abuse of this power, Sierra is not aware of this power.
Dorm: Hero
Brief Bio: Sierra's life started-off with some interesting tidbits. Sierra is a third-generation Tibetan American, whose Tibetan grandfather basically had no intentions of living in Colorado or America at large until the CIA program he was training-in shut-down with Nixon's attempts at establishing diplomatic relations with the PRC and stranded him there. She was fairly accomplished in athletics and had some popularity as a result. Things started to change around 2008 as circumstances turned for the worse, and have gone downhill since in regard to household health, friends, and finances.

A bombshell was dropped recently when a tiny flying robot delivered a message to her while on a morning jog. The robot said that it could recognize that she had was empowered, and was thus was a last resort option. He told her that he was an empowered person who had traded in his human one for a robotic body, and was thus in need of somebody who could be somewhat trusted. The robot had a larger body that ran out of power and needed to be dragged to the robot's vehicle to be recharged. When questioned on the reasoning for her, robot said that it could recognize that she had was empowered, and was thus the most reasonable gamble. She assisted the robot, the robot acting to keep the act secret. With the task completed, the robot thanked her and gave her a recommendation to attend the Academy for the Empowered.


Name: Chloe Dorsey (going as "Chloe Jackson")
Gender: female
Sex: female
Age: 15 (biologically and mentally; chronologically is 83)
Nationality: American
Height: 5'5
Weight: 115
Hair: short, black, characterized by two-strand twists
Eyes: brown
Costume (if any): leather jacket, rugged boots, khaki cargo pants, protective goggles, bandana (worn as mask) M1 helmet
Abilities: "compensation" (the ability to create translucent hard matter for a temporary time period, conferring the ability to make weapons, equipment, armor out of this in addition to the ability to add to the environment with this same material to the environment [temporarily, of course])
Dorm: Hero
Brief Bio: Born in rural Georgia, Chloe moved to New York City in 1936. Chloe was mostly a recluse more interested in matters of art history and comics than other people. On that day, a meteor crashed onto Earth. The size of a bowling ball and glowing red, it crashed into the reclusive Chloe.

Images of a nightmarish creature occasionally popped into mind as she slipped into unconsciousness. Once unconscious, an unchanging nightmare began with figures that looked as though they were of a bad impressionist painting haunted her visions. The uncanny pseudo-people, with jagged faces and smiles that emphasized nothing good. All attempts at escape progressed nothing as the figures followed without movement, frozen in a frame of movement as flat images that still moved. No options were left, and the panic of being surrounded by the creatures, unsure of what they'd do, left her without options. She fantasized about having a weapon of one of her Golden Age comic heroes and destroying the creatures with them, only for the fantasy to yield results as the wave that was following her disappeared as the others charged. With it, she used a simple idea to fight them, forming a rapier and a tunnel to funnel them through, destroying them all and finally rising out of unconsciousness.

As she recovered, she noticed that the powers which she had in the dream were real. Around the same time, several people who had suffered traumatic injuries in the city had been found frozen in time and space. In an attempt to find-out who it was, she managed to sufficiently anger the person responsible as she went one-moment from being awake and on-shore to being underwater in a weighted barrel. After a struggle and nearly drowning, Chloe surfaced to a different city. With all of the frozen people having become unfrozen simultaneously around the same time she was, authorities thought that it was the product of an empowered criminal having died and no longer being able to sustain their states of suspended animation rather than any of them gaining super powers. Without any reason to warrant further attention, she was sent to live with a niece of hers. After being home-schooled for several months to give some reasonable acclimation to the modern era, she was sent to the Academy for the Empowered out of the need to maintain some sense of anonymity while acclimating to the new time.


Name: Márk Augustus Gabor
Sex: male
Gender: male
Age: 16
Nationality: Austrian
Height: 5'7
Weight: 163
Hair: blond half crown
Eyes: grey
Costume (if any): dark-grey robes (loose), surplus Moro-pattern uniform, green buccal mask
Abilities:

"China's National 'Animal'": The powers that grant oneself the ability to willingly take the form of something that crypto-"zoologists" would be happy to see. It is actually more of a collection of powers that improves with age. They are, for his age: flight (limited by the wings not being fully developed), a weaponized esophagus (in this case, electrical discharges), and flight for short periods of time. The ability has some influence by birth, and is thus transferable to offspring.

"It's not magic!" ("Clarke's Third Law"): see Taylor's application for handling of the system.

Dorm: Hero
Brief Bio: Born into a lineage of a small European pseudo-micronation that made Lichtenstein look as though it was Russia, Randall Rolland was born an obscure aristocrat. He born to the Order of the Dragon. The original Order of the Dragon had a presence in the Holy Roman Empire, Italy, and the Baltics. Unlike the historical Order of the Dragon, the organization maintained some presence into the modern era. Two instances gave the order some power previously unknown to them. During a crusade against the Ottoman Turks, several texts were plundered. Those texts gave an impressive amount of knowledge to the Order, as study of them allowed practitioners to gain various powers and one even described how more could be gained. With some rationalizing the powers as tools given from God, the Order saw fit to establish a headquarters that acted as a compound for researchers to further expand the system.

The other was the discovery of a creature from the Alps who caused quite a stir for devouring cattle. With the use of their "Gifts from God", the local Baron, who was a member, was to capture the creature with his magic and discovered the being to be a human child with a transformation ability. Arguments arose around the "dragon" with questions over the potential uses for the person and the dissonance of a "righteous" organisation with a "evil creature" used by it. A decision was ultimately reached to bring the person into the order after a baptism of the form of the "dragon" in sanction of inducting the member into the organization.

The organization grew over time in spite of many failures. Many rulers who knew how to use the powers failed to pass on knowledge out of paranoia, and thus severed future rulers from the knowledge that would ensure friendly terms with the Order of the Dragon. The receding strength of those rulers who remained often meant less was available for the coffers that funded research. The organization's one field of growth was that of the descendents of the original "dragon", some of whom seemed to inherit the ability. Eventually, it came-down to the fact that the Order of the Dragon's non-ruling members soon worked as Swiss mercenaries and landsknechts to maintain the system. As the Holy Roman Empire receded from their land, the Swiss lay claim to the land the headquarters was on, and the Order of the Dragon conceded who ruled the land. Disconnected from the rest of the Holy Roman Empire, it became an imperative for the researchers to re-establish contact.

With an engineering genius among them, it was determined that a tunnel system was to be made that would allow the compound to expand and regain entrance to the HRE. The original location was refashioned into a unremarkable hamlet, any outside rulers ignorant about the nature of the Hamlet they mistook themselves as rulers of while the compound expanded back into the HRE. Too late for the idea, an advancement in the system allowed for shortcuts through space in unique ways that were taken advantage of in a much simpler endevour when the other part of their compound was The compound's semi-literal underground network of "empty" homes served by man-made short-cuts serves the Order of the Dragon. This gave the organization a distinct advantage in trade that allowed it to build large coffers. To ensure that a village of one-hundred is not investigated for the suspicious presence of people from different continents who suddenly appear there on weekends, most of the Order of the Dragon's members are dispersed throughout the world, maintaining regular jobs elsewhere and serving their functions in the organizations on weekends and working in the tunnels underneath the village. Currently, the Order of Dragons is in good shape, as expansion of the tools happens continuously, the Catholic Church has long forgotten that they existed, the coffers remain untouched and of steady growth from old days of when being able to trade without travel made them rich. They maintained this fortune by becoming involved in banking, and their most prominent member owns the same Swiss bank that holds their fortunes.

Márk is born into this organization, descended from the line of those with the "inspiration". His immediate family includes three siblings and two parents, the later two acting as owners of a small inn and members of the organization. They raised their kids with awareness of it, and, as such, they have access to "Clarke's Third Law" powers. Like his mother, Márk has the "gift".

Out of curiosity, what is your next plan, Mighty Asgard? Skip to them getting ready to go do heroics?

Also, AP, I set it up for you to do your doctor knowledge stuff with Cassandra, because she went to the Infirmary again.

For reasons of not wanting to bog down the thread and not wanting to make mistakes, I shall abstract the appointment to summary.
