[Charmera]

Vicky's reaction to Cyll was the thing I was least expecting. That post is freaking awesome...

I hope know your not doing it on purpose, but I'm getting ignored IC.

I'm fairly sure Achy would be the one to respond and he hasn't really posted IC for a while, try poking him.

[TriStates]

I was going for surprise Glad you like the post.

@ Cyll and Tarnen

I'm going to try and work my new character into the next post if you both don't mind. He will be Lee's ellusively hinted at "candy supplier". If both of you agree, I thought we could have a few posts of banter with the new guy, followed by our long awaited return to the main group. If you guys want to do something different, please tell me, so my having fun stop you from having yours.

Yeah, no problemo. I'll be working on his app so Joshulia can officially accept him, which should give Tranen time to reply if he chooses too.

EDIT: Can you tell me which page your chars app is on so I can check it out?

[Achidyemay]

I will be without internet tomorrow, post as Rory as you see fit.

Stay classy.

Little trivia bout my life: My best friend does announcements for our school, and they sign off almost everyday by saying that.

You've succeeded in summoning the beast. Congratulations. What will you do now?

Alright, here is the thing, I can't post now, because I really need to sleep, because if I don't I'll be so angry I'll slap the next person I see with the bags under my eyes. Plus, I need to get up early tomorrow and will be busy for sixteen hours that day, and then repeat that for Sunday. Sorry, guys, but seriously, fml right now.

Given and/or Used Name-Saito "Kang" Katsumoto
Age-19
Sex-Male
Years Aware of Their Powers-4
Personality-

Kang is certifiably crazy, but by choice, as he likes to joke. He is very rude, loud, childish, and flamboyant. He is also an international criminal, or how he likes to phrase it, an "Inter-Asianal Criminal". Seemingly born with a rap sheet as long as his arm, the 19 year old has warrents out for his arrest in from Shanghi to Hongkong, though his main stomping ground has always been in Tokyo and around the Japanese Home Islands.

Usually not seen too far from either Lee's or Vicky's presence, he provides the far extreme, making Lee look like a happy medium. While he is responsible for most of the asinine and trouble the three run into, he is loyal as he is obnoxious, usually managing to get them out of trouble, quicker then they got into it.

Brief Biographical Essay of Subject's Life and/or Experiences-
Oldest of the Triple Threat- Lee, Vicky and Kang- as they were known while attending the Academy. Prior to, he was a troubled child running with petty criminals and bosozoku gangs in Downtown Tokyo until his arrest at 15 by the Metropolitian Police Force for Drunk & Disorderly Conduct, Public Nudity, Fighting in a Public Establishment, Destruction of a Police Vehical, and Urinating on a Police Officer. Sentence looked set until the arrival of members from the Academies legal division, who managed to wrangle 500 hours of community service in leu of jail time, so long as Kang would be restricted to the academy and found a legal guardian among the staff.

Flash forward to the present, and you would find Kang once again adapting to a well-known enviorment of his. Acting as one of a few criminal suppliers with in the Russian Supermax after the Academies destruction and his capture, he has the connections to get almost anything, for a steep price and a few insults at your expense.

Given and/or Used Name- Christophoros Zográfos, the Tenth Muse, Oracle
Age- 712, although he stopped aging at the age of 16 (Born July 3, 1302)
Sex- Male
Personality- Christophoros' personality has changed considerably in the last seven centuries. Basically, as art has changed, so has he. In modern times, he's rather outspoken and rebellious, but with hints of the more sophisticated, orderly personality he had in the past. Whereas he once reflected the Roman and Greek attitudes of the Renaissance, he now reflects the more disorganized and political aspects of modern art. Another thing to note is that he has mixed feelings about the so-called "New Gods." While this likely has something to do with the fact that the gods of ancient Greece, his family, have fallen out of worship, he'll probably never admit it.
Brief Biographical Essay of Subject's Life and/or Experiences- Christophoros Zográfos was born near Delphi in 1302, in what was then the Duchy of Athens. Although born to the Muse Thalia and the god Apollo, he was raised by a farmer and his wife on their farm. For the first sixteen years of his life, he lived as a normal human, and was raised Christian, believing that the gods of the ancient times were nothing but myths. To this day, he has no idea whether his "parents" knew about his godly nature or not. Either way, it became apparent that he was different when at the age of sixteen, he suddenly stopped aging. Even more so when he delivered his first prophecy that same year, involving the fall of the Byzantine Empire over a century later. Around this time period, his parents kept him hidden, out of fear that others in the community would accuse him of being possessed by demons. One night, while he was painting in the basement of his house, he saw a light outside, which he followed to a nearby ruin, the Temple of Apollo. It was here that he first met his real parents, and where they revealed his true nature to him. He lived with his human parents until they died in a fire three years later, at which point he began travelling throughout Europe.

At some point in the 14th century, he arrived in the Republic of Florence. While there, he helped inspire the first Renaissance painters. Over the next century, he traveled throughout Italy, spreading the ideas of the Renaissance much as the Muses before him had inspired the cultures that the Renaissance was based on. During this time period, he met many important figures of the Italian Renaissance, including painters, politicians, religious figures, and a group calling themselves Assassins or something. As the century drew to a close, he moved north into the rest of Europe, bringing the ideas of the Renaissance with him. In order to avoid talking about the entire history of art for the last six hundred years, I'll just say that between that point and roughly 1900, he traveled all over Europe, bringing whatever artistic movement was prevalent at that time with him. Around the start of the 20th century, however, the increasing number of major wars on the continent drove him to travel across the Atlantic to the Americas, where he influenced the politically oriented art of that time period. He stayed in the Americas until roughly 1942, during which he managed to return to Europe and take part in resistance movements against the Nazis from then until 1945. He was often caught and imprisoned, only to break out rather easily soon after.

Following World War II, Christophoros influenced the art of the Cold War on both sides of the Iron Curtain. Whereas one year he might be inspiring the writers and painters of the Soviet Union, the next he might be painting graffiti on the Berlin Wall, such as in the picture below. Like during World War II, he was often arrested. He'd continue doing so until the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991. From that point on, he spent a lot of time in his native country of Greece as well as other Balkan states, particularly Yugoslavia, where he was frequently arrested. He was arrested a lot in the last two decades, mainly in the Balkan states, but also in the UK and Russia as well. Most recently, he was arrested in Russia roughly a year ago for taking part in a gay rights protest. This was no big deal to him, as he frequently escaped from prisons before, but this time was different. While being arrested, he began delivering a prophecy regarding the destruction of a major city somewhere in the world, which is now known to have been Paris. This got the attention of Russian special agents, who soon transferred him to the Pitt. Once the Warden heard about his ability to deliver prophecies, he was placed into solitary confinement. There, he's closely observed, and any prophecies are written down to be used to the benefit of the Warden and the agency that runs the prison. This is his current location.

Species- Muse

Super or Magical Abilities-

• Enhanced Reflexes - Before you say this isn't relevant to his domain, it is in a way. Mainly, this allows him to paint and draw faster than an average human being can, meaning his other abilities aren't completely useless in combat. However, he does also have generally enhanced reflexes, which make up for his rather low level of strength.
• Paint Manipulation - With the use of some form of paint, whether acrylic paint, oil paint, or just plain spraypaint, Chris can create pretty much whatever he can paint, living or unliving. Whatever it is, it becomes real. Furthermore, he can also use the paint itself as a weapon. For example, a favorite use of his is to make handcuffs out of spray-paint by spraying it on the target's wrist as well as something else, whether an object or the other wrist.
• Musical Emphatic Projection - With this power, Christophoros is able to change the emotional state of others in the immediate area by playing music. The specific emotional state depends on what music he happens to play. However, this is significantly weaker if they know what's going on, and even more so if they happen to be very emotional at the time. For example, if he were to attempt to make somebody in a rage suddenly become overjoyed, it would likely fail, and he'd likely get the shit beaten out of him.
• Dance Combat - Again, this pretty straightforward. Essentially it involves a combination of dance moves and combat, into something similar to Capoeira, but slightly more epic. This gives him increased speed, agility, and leverage in combat, making him rather difficult to hit. Plus, it's just cool to watch.
• Omnilingualism - Although many fail to realize it, language is an art too. With this ability, Chris can read or write any language that he is aware of the existence of.
• Prophecy Construction - As a child of Apollo, Chris has the gift of prophecy, essentially being able to tell the future by channeling the Essence, usually in a series of complicated statements that nobody can understand. While giving a prophecy, he enters a trance-like state, complete with glowing eyes and an echoey voice. He has no control whatsoever over what is said, and often times is unable to understand it himself. In other words, he is basically little more than a messenger.

Equipment-

• Christophoros is always carrying a large amount of spray-paint, as well as other types of paint and brushes, colored pencils, markers, and various other art supplies.
• Chris almost always has some form of musical instrument with him, usually an Aulos or Lyre, the symbols of two of his aunts. He also enjoys the violin, various kinds of drums, the harp, and piano.
• Chris carries around a sword and abow and quiver of arrows, in the event he actually needs to fight. He is an expert with both.

Species- Half Saiyan-Human Hybrid
Age- 16
Sex- Male
Years Aware of Their Powers 705
Personality- Roshi is very shy and around new people, but around people he knows he is very relaxed and playful. Due to his massive hidden powers, he often tends to avoid conflict when necessary and shy away from possible conflicts.
Brief Biographical Essay of Subject's Life and/or Experiences- Roshi's life went as one would expect up to the age of 4. When he was four his father began to train him, but do to his fathers passive style of training, he could accomplish little. When he was 5, Roshi was brought to brutal Namekian trainer. The trainer, named Moori, brought him out into the forest of a secluded area and left him to survive on his own for 1 and half years. This hand profound effects in the boy, during this time he had to adapt to living by himself and hunt for food. When the year and half was up, Moori returned and began to train the boy. The training lasted 8 months, Roshi's daily schedule consisting of:

Wake up at 4:00am
Spar till 10:00am
Ki control training till 1:00pm
Meditation till 5:00pm
Spar till 12:00pm
Rest

Roshi's training, when finished, made the boy powerful and confident in his abilities. When he returned to his father, it seemed he was ready to join the ranks of the fighters within his family.

While his family always knew Roshi had hidden power, no one new the extent of his hidden abilities until one day when he was training with his oldest brother. While teaching him a new technique, a frustrated 11 year old, released his anger in a scream, the last thing most people saw before white was a small boy surrounded by blue pale energy. The destruction cost the family millions in damages, but due to the families financial state, it wasn't much to them. But Roshi's oldest brother, Kai, lost his arm and was forever scarred on his right side. For the following years Roshi was made learn to control the hidden potential. This lead to Roshi being shy as he is.

Some kind of comedy related power, possibly laughter inducement (i.e. just making people start laughing). And the other was just asking what you feel needs to be limited about it.

Was considering that. I'd imagine that larger things would take more power than smaller ones, and living things would take more than unliving things. So basically, he could make a sandwich without much effort, but a car would make him quite tired, and something larger than that would exhaust him.

Given and/or Used Name- The Major (no other name given)
Age- 316
Sex- Male
Years Aware of Their Powers 291
Personality- The Major is a soldier through and through; he has no time for peace, and believes that violence can solve all problems. He also suffers (although he doesn't consider it a flaw) from a severe lack of empathy towards everyone, and cares about nothing save for himself.
Brief Biographical Essay of Subject's Life and/or Experiences- Born in 1698 in Moscow, Russia, to a minor noble family, the Major (who's original name is lost to the mists of time and his damaged memories), learned to read, write and fight from a young age. As the second son of the family, he went into service with the Russian Army in 1714 at the age of 16 as a loader in a Fortress Artillery Regiment.

After several years of service, including attending the Russian Army's gunnery school, the Major reached the rank which would later become his name, and it was then, in 1723, whilst his Regiment were being transferred to a new fort, that he was bitten and fell ill. Being discharged from the army, he retired to his family's mansion in Moscow for a year before leaving for Alaska as a guard for a wealthy merchant. Over the year it took to reach Alaska and back, he learned the various tricks that being a vampire provided, which eventually led to him killing the merchant and shapeshifting to look like him.

He spent around 2 decades as the merchant, before spending the next 60 years shifting between various individuals and only in the early 1800s did the Major return to the Russian Imperial Army, now posing as an Artillery Officer. He served through the 1800s, being discharged in 1815 and shifting again, before moving to the US. He joined the Texans in the Texan War of Independence, fighting the Mexicans, before joining the US Army as a rank-and-file infantryman, and was discharged in the 1830s, and shifted again to re-enlist in the US Army as an Officer Cadet, from where he worked his way through the ranks to become a Colonel by the time of the Civil War. During the Civil War the Major served at Gettysburg, but went M.I.A during the battle, as he deserted, heading west.

It took the Major the best part of a decade to cross to San Fransisco, from where he sailed to Japan and worked as a foreign advisor during the Boshin War and refined his knowledge of the multitude of new technologies involved in warfare. He finally moved from Japan in 1885, spending a few years in Siam, before shifting and impersonating an Italian Army officer during their disastrous invasion of Ethopia in 1895. He remained with the Italian Army until 1904, when he returned to Russia and joined the 1905 Revolution, before being sent into exile in Siberia. He was freed in 1913, and then shifted so he could once again join the Russian Army, fighting through the First World War on the Baltic Front and being present at the Battle of Tannenburg.

He joined the Provisional Government in 1917 but defected to the Bolsheviks during the 1917 Revolution, fighting Yudentich's army in the Baltics. He retained his rank as an officer through the 1920s, but was imprisoned in the Gulags during one of Stalin's purges in 1937. He was released in 1941 to serve in a penal battalion and after the war he escaped to China where he impersonated a CPC guerilla and fought in the Chinese Civil War, the Korean War and later the Vietnam War, after which he left China for Afganistan, where he fought against the Soviets until their retreat and then the other Afgan factions. After the dissolution of the USSR in 1991, he joined the Russian Army again and served in various wars in the Causcaus before being discharged and being hired by a shadowy figure to be a warden at a gaol in Siberia for 'special convicts'.

He never takes the mask off, primarily because he has a chronic fear of gas courtesy of his service in WW1.

Species- Vampire

Super or Magical Abilities- Standard Vampire abilities (shape shifting, levitation, ability to command/create ghouls, increased strength/regenerative abilities/pain threshold)
Equipment- Gas Mask, 2 messenger bags each with 6 Molotov Cocktails in, two lighters, Suppressed M16 loaded with various types of ammo including some custom made anti-supernatural bullets, Suppressed Jackhammer shotgun with the same ammo mix as the M16, 8 Gas/Smoke grenades in a grenade bandolier.

Hmmm.....well, if he's a warden at the gulag, then that makes him and the Lieutenant allies......

And Arana, idea, no living creatures and, despite becoming real, everything he makes is sill paint. As such, he can't simply create food, and he can't just spray paint a nuclear bomb into existence.

He joined the Provisional Government in 1917 but defected to the Bolsheviks during the 1917 Revolution, fighting Yudentich's army in the Baltics. He retained his rank as an officer through the 1920s, but was imprisoned in the Gulags during one of Stalin's purges in 1937. He was released in 1941 to serve in a penal battalion and after the war he escaped to China where he impersonated a CPC guerilla and fought in the Chinese Civil War, the Korean War and later the Vietnam War, after which he left China for Afganistan, where he fought against the Soviets until their retreat and then the other Afgan factions. After the dissolution of the USSR in 1991, he joined the Russian Army again and served in various wars in the Causcaus before being discharged and being hired by a shadowy figure to be a warden at a gaol in Siberia for 'special convicts'.

He never takes the mask off, primarily because he has a chronic fear of gas courtesy of his service in WW1.

Hmmm.....well, if he's a warden at the gulag, then that makes him and the Lieutenant allies......

And Arana, idea, no living creatures and, despite becoming real, everything he makes is sill paint. As such, he can't simply create food, and he can't just spray paint a nuclear bomb into existence.

What about still living things, but the living things are also still paint?
