Super Hero High: Prometheus Rising (OOC, Open)

[Zarkenis Ultima]

Preying on animals would undermine his superiority. -Nods-

If it helps you, I don't know, either.

[Corrian]

Hello there! I'm considering coming back here with a new character, if that' sokay? I've been away a long time so I totally understand if you guys don't want any new character s for any reason.

Naka!

No problem with coming back at all. We've let in a lot of people who disappeared back in with open arms lately.

[Terintania]

If it helps you, I don't know, either.

Ok....

Ok....

Here, have a cat.

Now that I think about it, Leroy's "It's you or them" mentality makes it much worse for Cassie.

What? Josh was the one that suggested killing animals, not Leroy.

Leroy's a vegetarian, by the way,

I meant that because the topic of food is inevitable. You literally had him make statements stating his "It's you or them" mentality. With that in mind, he should be actively supporting people eating meat in survival scenarios.

Then again, cognitive dissonance or hypocrisy could be at play.

Well, think about it, you may be eating some animal's food even if you're not eating the animal itself.

I don't even know what you're talking about? When did he ever show a 'It's you or them' mentality?

Welcome back.

the way I see it, it's you, or them,"

[Corrian]

Not only does AP know everything, apparently they quote everything our characters say and put it somewhere

Was that when he was teaching them fighting?

There's a difference between fighting for your life against someone who's actively trying to kill you and killing animals to survive. Fighting to survive, there's not really any other choice. With killing to eat, there are other things you can eat.

[Nakarisaune]

I'll put up an app in the morning. What's been happening?

Defficiencies of Iron and Iodine say otherwise.

Nonsense. Vitamin B12 defficiency, simply put, is a major problem for non-ovo vegetarians.

If they do not either take vitamin B12 supplements or eat meat, well, here is Wikipedia's article on what happens to the body when it has a vitamin B12 defficiency.

Seriously, problems include various anemia within bone marrow, watermelon stomach, and a whole host of neurological problems up to and including seizures.

How has Leroy survived into adulthood if he was not aware that, as a non-ovo vegetarian, he needs vitamin B12 supplements in order to avoid becoming psychotic (I am not joking, psychosis is a symptom of vitamin B12 deficiency), or did he just not trust the doctors every time he was rushed to the emergency room after hearing voices in his stomach grew in size because of internal bleeding?

Because of vitamin B12, any survival situation is inherently, "The animal becomes meat or you become meat for the decomposers and scavengers".

Nonsense. Vitamin B12, simply put, can only be acquired by consumption of meat or in a synthetic form.

And how long would it take for someone to get that kind of deficiency? Obviously he would be fine with killing animals if they had to, and he knows they wouldn't have to like it, but to start out with there are other things to eat, as there's a good chance you would get rescued fairly quickly.

I do not know.

However, you still do not seem to understand what I mean.

Vitamin B12 is produced by various microorganisms and is accessible in one of two forms. The first is hydroxocobalamin, which is how omnivores, carnivores, and ovo-vegetarians get their vitamin b12---eating the animals (for ovo-vegetarians, eggs) which contain the various bacteria which create it or animals which ate the former. The later is cyanocobalamin---how non-ovo vegetarians get their vitamin b12, is actually semi-synthetic (my mistake, I accidentally called it synthetic), which is created by bacterial fermentation and then delivered into the non-ovo vegetarian via injection.

Do you see the problem? The vegan-friendly form is simply not readily accessible in a survival situation, thereby meaning that there is a deadline where a person would have to either get rescued or else eat meat. This means that, yes, it is very much a "you versus them" situation since a person's ability to survive is dependent upon not lying on the ground as your body convulses uncontrollably or having your intestines bleeding.

Everything you said, my response is still the sam

I don't see how what I said doesn't make sense for that

[Ularn]

I'll put up an app in the morning. What's been happening?

Well, for starters there was my coming back to the RP.

I'll leave it to others to fill in the other mere details

[Orinon]

I would be posting but SoCal Regionals TTT2 time

[Corrian]

Huh?

I know the term "SoCal" well

I was gonna leave it to the experts to explain, but I might give an idea when I'm more awake tomorrow.

[Mighty Asgard]

I'll put up an app in the morning. What's been happening?

I don't quite recall when you last posted in the IC thread, but mostly normal school stuff has happened. Also, terrorists have nuked Tokyo.

[Orinon]

One of these things is not like the other.

[Corrian]

I was gonna post last night but it got SUPER windy. Probably the worst wind of the season so far. Power went out twice for only a bit before finally going out for 2 1/2 to 3 hours. At that point last night I expected it. It was pretty bad...

[Fraire]

Name: Xavier Von Raven
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Nationality: American
Height: 5' 4"
Weight: 147 pounds
Hair: dark brown
Eyes: Black
Costume
Abilities: Earth Manipulation
Dorm: Vigilante
Brief Bio:Xavier belonged to a rich family. He was a fairly quiet and obedient boy. His life was normal, until he was taken away by government scientists when they needed test subjects to test (Wow, I'm saying test a lot) a new type of drug that relieved pain. His parents were devastated. They needed to inject it into him. But when he tried to escape, he got stuck in a strange machine that altered his DNA and gave him these powers. He ran away, living in the woods. But Xavier was soon found by an adoption center and adopted by a fairly normal couple. But when they found out about his powers, they needed to keep them secret and didn't know what to do. They soon enrolled him in this school.
Xavier was born to rich family, but one day he was taken by scientists to be tested on. He tried to escape but had his DNA scrambled by a machine. He ran away and was found by an orphanage, which gave him to a regular family. They found out about his powers and took him to this school.

Considering why your last character concept was rejected I would like to know the absolute maximum extent of his power, if you don't mind.

He can make a small earthquake in the area or make a large person that he can control, out of the earth....also, I probably should have answered this question months ago...woops.....

[Nakarisaune]

Name: Ali Navarro
Gender: Agender (I can change this if it messes anything up)
Age: 17
Nationality: Mexican
Height: 5ft 7
Weight: 80kg
Hair: Black
Eyes: Black
Costume (if any):
Abilities: They can reproduce objects for up to an hour after touching them, up to half of their weight
Dorm: Hero
Brief Bio: Ali was raised in relative poverty in Mexico City, along with their older sisters and father. However the poverty didn't last that long, as Ali's powers began manifesting quite early, and they started literally creating money at the age of three. Obviously they couldn't make much at first as their powers were still developing, but what they could make by the time they were seven was enough to make the family reasonably rich. Their sisters claimed that the money was coming from Ali having the power to find lost objects, which included money.
The family moved to California and lived happily in their new wealth for several years until Ali got a little too ambitious and started replicating things like jewellery and expensive devices to sell to their friends. Their mistake was producing almost a hundred gold rings and trying to sell them, which the police of course found highly suspicious. Ali bribed them to let them go to Super Hero High instead of prison.

You have awesome character ideas

Two terrakinetics arriving at practically the same time? Interesting. It sounds like Xavier is currently more powerful than Jun (who can't do much more than float pebbles just now; re shaping Lake Taupo was an accident she hasn't learned how to recreate) but, if this is the maximum extent of his powers, Jun's likely to surpass him at some point in the future. And of course they'll both be limited by the lack of earth, rock or other suitable material on the station.

Could make for an interesting dynamic between the two; maybe Xavier feels initially confident because of his superior abilities but then begins to feel jealous or threatened because of Miss Hero Goodie-Two-Shoes Huang Jun as her powers start to surpass his.

Of course, this is all assuming that MA accepts the character.
