Fatal Light (Psychological Thriller/SciFi/Fantasy RP) (OOC)

[Damak Var]

Ok. He doesn't have to be a ceo, that might have been over the top. As I said above, if I come up with something more suiting I'll go for it. Otherwise I'll jump into the fire and try to play it as realistically I can.

Up to you. But the downside is that you are in the public spotlight for players that want more discrete characters.

Speaking of discrete, how plausible would it be having him as an oligarch? Not saying I will do it, just brainstorming here.

But aside from that, how is the rest of my application, storywise and so?

Edit 4: Hopefully right this time.

Group/Faction/Organisation Name:

Tarragon Industries

Leader:

Thomas Tarragon (Tomas Eyvariel)

Headquarters:

London

Number of Members:

In terms of elves, there are four from the direct Eyvariel family and four from elsewhere:
- Thomas Tarragon (Tomas Eyvariel)
- Sarah Tarragon (Seracilia Gloriosa, wife of Tomas)
- Aurelia Marcos (Aurelia Eyvariel)
- Briony Grande (Berenilan Eyvariel)
- George Pollock
- Alice Davies
- Jonathan Wright
- Katharine Howard

In terms of humans, approximately 16,000 employees including both the London and eight out-of-country branches. Other Inhumans (not of the elvish race) are rumored among the upper echelon to be around 1,200 in number.

Type of Faction:

Enterprise

Description:

Ownership of Tarragon Industries belongs entirely to Tomas Eyvariel, who goes by the name Thomas Tarragon. The Eyvariels are a powerful force in the elven world in great measure because of this company and their titles. Tarragon Industries is one of the paramount companies in the world, centered in London but with dozens of branches scattered throughout a number of other countries. Both assets and land (in and out of country) are responsible for their wealth. Their focus is entirely based on computer technology and manufacturing the supplies to create medical equipment, top-notch technological advances, and a number of machine parts used for heavy industry. They do not discriminate in terms of employees, and those Inhumans who wish to remain anonymous are protected by the company leader himself.

Additional Info:

- Tarragon Industries does not meddle in politics or current affairs...unless their welfare and success is directly threatened.

- The reason behind the death of the former CEO is under (minor) investigation.

- They are known to provide funding for projects that catch their interests.

- The sole proprietorship belongs to the person in the position of CEO, but the collective Executive Officers (the board of Tarragon employees from minor branches) hold a great deal of power in the internal affairs.

- Anyone caught breaking the laws that Tarragon Industries respects are dealt with promptly.

- Tarragon Industries has an inheritance system in terms of appointing a new leader.

Are these inhumans metapowered? In that case you are limited to 10.

They weren't intended to be metapowered, precisely. I can change it if that is still the case when they aren't metapowered.

[Damak Var]

May have mildly superpowered/meta members up to 10.

So just make sure they cannot do anything more a normal human can. Physically or mentally.

Okay - my apps in progress now for a spirit/ghost type of character.

They can't. TI can be a bit like a business-oriented public safehouse for Inhumans - but the nonpowered kind. They don't have much interest in the creation or keeping of powerful beings as such. The only superpowered beings are Aurelia (talented) and Thomas (moderately so). As far as they are concerned, that is enough.

As a warning, I may need to drop this.

Name:Camille Travers
Alias: Catalyseuse
Species:Human
Nationality:French
Age:28
Gender:Female
Registered:Y
Side:Hero/Neutral
Civilian Occupation: Chemist
Appearance:Dirty blond hair, typically curled, knee-length. (Kept in great condition by her powers: see below) 5'3", (about 1.4 meters). Round face, olive green eyes, fair complexion, "pear" body type (small on top, large on bottom). Wears a mix of trendy and classic pieces.

Alt. appearance: Wears orange and hot pink bodysuit with lavender wig as Catalyseuse.
Powers:Camille can sense ,affect, and draw energy from bonds between atoms and molecules. This allows her, among other things, to form exotic materials, defuse chemical bombs, and mend things. This ability to mend does extend to living things; however, the more complex the molecules the more concentration fixing them requires, and the human body is quite complex; hence, healing herself requires a lot of concentration, and healing another takes almost complete concentration. Basically, Camille can alter length, strength, and energy level of bonds between atoms or molecules, and break and form such bonds. If she can sense a bond, she can affect it. The sensing power is kind of like looking at a bunch of Tinkertoys and only being able to see the wooden sticks; she can't perceive atoms.
Breakdown of common bonds, with a practical example for each: Ionic or covalent bond- can form or break down any compound provided that energy and materials to do so are available; can hence obtain oxygen from any of its compounds
Metallic bonds- can change properties of metals
London dispersion forces- can stick herself to something easily and stick another person or object to something with some concentration
Hydrogen bonding- can alter physical state of water without changing temperature
Also: if two things which are next to each other release a lot of energy when reacted, she can start a fire. Example: wood and oxygen. Can also sense presence of magic indirectly as her powers weaken when magic is around.
Weaknesses:All powers require some concentration. Necessary concentration and difficulty of use increase with complexity, and the sensing power becomes harder to use as distance increases due to other molecules getting in the way. For example, sensing something 5-30 feet away from the current focus of her power or herself is about as hard as writing a sentence. Sensing something 100 feet away is comparable to an algebra problem. 1000 feet might be comparable to a short response for English. 10000 might be comparable to, say, an Algebra 2 level problem. 2 miles would be like an essay. 20 miles would be very nearly total concentration. If the sensing power is being used on any bond, the others can be used as well. The sensing power must be in use for the others to be used. Camille's ability to keep her sensing power focused decreases drastically if whatever she's focused on is far away from her brain. Additionally, magic of any sort weakens her powers significantly, and strong magic weakens them greatly. Camille's powers CANNOT be used directly on magical objects or entities. ("Magical" as opposed to "enchanted", meaning that the magic cannot be removed from the item or entity without a) removing part of the item or entity other than the magic, for example Elena's paperweight, or b) destroying the entity. Objects classed as enchanted under this definition will be very difficult but theoretically possible for Camille to affect directly.)
Personality:Kinda silly. A bit of an adrenaline junkie. Has no qualms whatsoever regarding using her powers for her own benefit, which she's been doing ever since she discovered them, if it won't negatively impact someone else, but is more than willing to help others with them.
Bio: Camille discovered her powers at the age of seven when she broke and mended a plate. Thanks to science class, she found at thirteen that she had an excellent understanding of chemistry. As a lyceén, she didn't participate in many extracurriculars. She eventually attended Claude Bernard University as a chemistry major with a minor in art, and graduated several years ago; she registered herself after graduating. She currently fights crime etc. in the Paris area.
Theme Song: Sur un Fil (mainly the chorus)

[NanoSatan]

Name: Nikolai "Nick" Roland
Alias (Optional): Freakshow
Real-Life Occupation: Veterinarian
Species: Human
Nationality: Russia
Age: 36
Gender: Male
Registered?(Y/N): Yes
Side: (Hero/Villain/Mercenary/Agent/Neutral) Neutral
Faction: None
Appearance:

Alter Appearance:

Powers: Life Generation (can sense through the creatures he creates), Healing, Soul Transfer, and can control animals.
Weaknesses: He has every other human weakness
Personality He's a quiet, kind man. He loves all manner of creatures, especially the ones he creates, with an unconditional love. He's gentle, and prefers to find solutions that don't involve violence.
Short Bio: Nick had always had a fascination for animals. He would go out into the woods near his russian home, and simply watch nature. If he sat still long enough, animals would come up to him and cuddle with him. Even the bears, which were normally aggressive and territorial, didn't mind his presence. But the one animal he loved more than anything was a baby deer, "Yvsky". He would spend time out in the wilderness with Yvsky, years, in fact. When a hunter came through, and shot Yvsky, Nick flipped. His cry of pain for the loss of Yvsky caused something coiled up inside of him to lash out. Trace burst into existence, and clamped onto the hunter's chest. He exploded. From that day onwards, Nikolai knew what he would dedicate his life to: Animal medicine. He worked all sorts of demeaning jobs to get a ticket to come to the United States, and entered college at 16. He graduated with 2 doctorates by the age of 30, and all the while tried creating more and more types of life. Finally he settled down, and opened a veterinary clinic out in the mountains of Colorado.
Theme song:
Any Additional Info?: Below are images and descriptions of creatures he commonly creates:

Bubbles, size varies, he can pass through small cracks, and enter any host body to heal them. After the healing process is complete, he dissolves into nutritious compounds.

Spike,about 1 inch long, he can embed himself in a host, and release an anesthetic/adrenaline boost. Entry is painless, save a minor pinch.

Twig, less than a millimeter, usually released in swarms of 100-200. He enters the bloodstream and burrows throughout the host body, releasing stem cells, steroids, and protein. The effect cause a dramatic increase in strength in the host. The effect is permanent, so long as the host maintains a fitness regimen.

Blink, about 1 inch. He has a sticky backside, and one, enormous eye set in his center. He allows Nick to see through Blink, as a sort of wireless organic camera.

Trace, he can vary greatly in size and use. HE can latch onto a host, and release a pheromone that only Nick can smell, allowing him to track anything. VERY rarely, Trace can be used to latch onto other things and explode in a shower of acid. Nick only ever used him for this once, and it broke his heart.

She's basically working on her own. She helps protect Paris, but not as a full-time job. Additionally, she's kind of being a hero for the heck of it as opposed to being idealistic, and she disagrees with InterWORD's policy of killing or containing people who won't reveal their identities even if they haven't done anything which merits their being treated like criminals.

[The Abel Imaginarium]

I need a more detailed description of his actual job beside "shady" businessman. I mean is he somesort of business consultant, CEO or what?

Oh and can u please make a character app as well? or are you going to use this as some sort of NPC faction

Okay, I'll add info (see some of it above). Do you want a character description for both boyar Dragunov and Vassilij? The latter is kind of a leftover from a character I thought of for this rp, but never got to use: http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=276594 Vassilij, a farmer boy, joined the red army as a young man during the Russian civil war. That's when he got bitten and transformed. After some time of living in the woods he realized that he could make a career in the cheka, with his new vampire abilities. And the rest is history, as they say. He fought in WW2 and saw what the nazis had done. Nevertheless he later fell in love with a German female vampire who had been a guard in one of the extermination camps. They have had a love/hate-on/off relationship for decades. Currently he has no idea where she is.

As mentioned, when Soviet fell Vassilij feared that the new Russia would be too open and no longer require his services. So he travelled the world for many years before ending up being employed by the Dragunovs in England. It might seem odd that the clan which moved from a regime they hated hired one of their former agents, but Vorontsiev was not a communist in heart, rather a patriot, a careerist, and an opportunist, much like the Dragunovs themselves.

What exactly is the difference between a house and a faction? Because I think I rather play as a house. Or do you mean that the house itself should be a non-playable character while I use some members to represent them? (I assume that's what NPC stands for.) Those two I mentioned will probably be seen most, but Ilyas family might starr as well.

Anything else I should include? I can write a proper app later if that is preferred.

Lady Dragunova:

A faction can be more or less anything but as one of the Seven Houses you are a leader of The Gathering. Meaning for example House Anvylia is the chief house of High Elves. No other elvish house/clan/society can be more powerful than this one and most if not all serve under them as vassals since the ancient times. Of course in this current timeline there will be some who have gone rogue or do not want to answer to the rulers of House Anvylia.

For you since you created a vampire house than you're practically the leader of all/most of the vampire underworld and have huge influence in this part. No other vampire clan/society/house can be more powerful than you in this terms.

Yeah maybe I should put this in the OP to make tthings clearer..brb

Ah okies got it......accepted then

The IC should be up by tonight me thinks

[Damak Var]

I think we only have 1 interword agent.

[Flammaland]

I think we only have 1 interword agent.

Mine could be, if he's payed well enough...

[Fvaarniimar]

What the OP seems to be indicating is that a lot of the heroes will end up as agents.

[Galnius]

I'm back! What's shacking?
