I'll be honest, I have no idea what to post besides a timid "Cecile left the conversation".

DROPPED PLAYERS:
Granis - not posting

SOON TO BE DROPPED:
UEA - minimal participation, failure to check OOC threads. She needs to post here, in this OOC, by Monday (13 Mar) to let me know she wishes to continue in PL.

I sent a TG to UEA to let her know she's been dropped. Disregard her IC post, please. There's no reason a player can not check the OOC before posting in the IC, and there's been a lack of attempt at integration IC.

Again, I apologise for my lack of activity. I promise I will post at least twice a week.


It's not about your inactivity, but that you haven't checked the OOC before posting IC and haven't tried to interact with any characters. You've left yours by herself.

I understand. I'll reapply somewhere between 6-9 hours because school


Also, I was reluctant to interact because I felt daunted as people could post so long and felt like I'm not worth their time. Compared to everyone else, my RP style is primitive. I read the PL IC from time to time but just...Couldn't bring myself to post.

Anyway, I'll do better next time.


Don't worry about it overmuch. PL is a teaching RP and Min and I were figuring we'd help ease you in, as part of the staff.

They can be a little intimidating sometimes, can't they? It's okay. We all are beginners at some point, UEA; we have old posts proving it. I at least don't mind your short posts when you're willing to try, but pulling Akagi off on her own during events does make it hard for her to interact.

I was hesitant to ask for leeway due to school, too. As it turns out, it's valid. Everyone gets that school is often a higher priority than what is after all a hobby.

Reapply when you can. Perhaps your current character isn't a good fit however? She's very shy and timid, and that will make things difficult for you.

Character Surname: Narindra

Character Title: Doctor

Character Gender: Male

Species : Metahuman

Age: 41

Appearance:

URL to Character Picture, if any: http://i.imgur.com/JHuX0Po.png

Character Occupation or Specialty: Clinical Psychologist - Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D)


Character's biggest strength: Good listener. Quickly adapts to the world around him.


Character's worst flaw: Too self-critical, and a bit depressive.


OBJECTIVES AND GOALS

Primary Objective: This poor NPC is destined to serve as the Residents' shrink. Everything he does is wrapped into that.

Minor Goals: Stay alive, not be eaten by the Residents, perhaps write a paper on the Galli insanity when all is said and done.


MUNDANE SKILLS

    List Mundane skills here
  • Research
  • Pharmacology
  • Drive a four-wheeled vehicle
  • Goat herding (it's a hobby)
  • Cooking
  • Violin

SPECIALIZED SKILLS AND TALENTS

  • Psychology (the study and practice) 3
  • Gatka (per his religion) 2
  • Parapsychology 2


OPTIONAL SUPERNATURAL CHARACTERISTICS

  • Charisma Bestowal
    Power Level: 1
    Strengths: he can bestow charisma and a sense of good reputation, making others well-versed in communicative arts including foreign languages and rhetoric, giving them a good name, and making them trusted and loved by friend and foe alike, etc.
    Weaknesses: Depression too deep to cure without medications.
    Restrictions: May not be able to use this ability on himself. The sense of charisma is fleeting. It doesn't add anything to someone already confident in themselves. This minor power simply grants his patient a moment of feeling, well, more charismatic than they did a moment prior. He uses it in tandem with therapy.

  • Empathy
    Power Level: 6
    Strengths: He can fully interpret and replicate the emotions, moods, and temperaments of others without reading apparent symptoms, allowing him to understand introverts or discover one emotion is actually hiding another. He can attack someone in a personal and emotional way since he knows exactly what emotion is flowing, and can use this knowledge to play against them. He can somewhat read emotional imprints left into environment or objects. His gift gives him the ability to block intrusive scans by other empaths/telepaths/etc.
    Weaknesses: Anyone with the ability to block an empath can attempt to block him. Too much put into it will result in headaches, and nose and ear bleeds.
    Restrictions: Only receives emotions, not thoughts; Defenseless against beings that have no emotions (machines)

MAGICAL OR SPECIAL ITEMS

List:
  • "Doctor's Black Bag" (5)
  • kirpan

EQUIPMENT
List:
  • Artifacts and items that go with his religion
  • Binder clips (he collects these - think of them as things to keep his hands busy)

BACKGROUND
(Be detailed please. You must explain how your character acquired their skills, talents, abilities, and special items. Wrap your primary objectives and goals into it.)

Education or Training:
B.Sc Ambedkar University (New Delhi)
M.A. University of Michigan
Psy.D University of Michigan



Character Background/Biography: "ISTJ: Introvert Sensing Thinking Judging". That was my result in college. I doubt it has changed. I am still too serious, too quiet, too much of a loner. I enjoy solitude a bit too much, I confess, but how else can I sit back and observe? Observe, I do. It takes effort to block what I sense.

I'm getting ahead of myself. My name is Ramanbir Narinda. I was born in Punjab, and I grew up there. The oldest of five siblings, it was I who had to set the example. I imagine it wasn't a good example. I acted out in my early years, my own emotions stirred by the emotions of others around me. It was not easy. At times, it was painful. I sequestered myself though I could not shut out my own intrigue pertaining to mental health.

What makes people tick? Why do they feel the way they do? These questions have always been a part of me. I went into psychology in persuit of answers, and to find a means to teach myself how to marshal the foreign emotions that welled up inside me. I suppose the worst career for an empath is psychology - clinical therapy can utterly destroy us if we don't have self mastery.

I enjoyed my education. I enjoy this field. I even enjoy listening to my patients. There is nothing quite as profound as a schizophrenic's mind, did you know? There is a beauty in how thought breathe. I suppose I chose the right career after all. I have never regretted leaving India and coming to the United States.

Now, please excuse me. I'm behind schedule. I have a patient to see.

Education or Training: Homeschooled

Character Background/Biography: I was raised in a small village in Japan. My dad had high expectations for me and enrolled in the best schools in the village. Eventually, it didn't meet his standards so I was Homeschooled from elementary. I couldn't fail him after one night seeing how hard he worked at a factory. I don't really remember what he worked as but it really inspired me to work harder as he is working for me. When I was 9, he told me to start practicing archery and gave me some books. He tutored me on Highschool math in middle school to which I would find out after graduating University. In my Highschool years, I would usually be either studying or practicing archery. Man, how I wish I could go back and thank him. Anyway, after University, I applied for the Navy I got acvepted but due to being a female and lack of experience and proper education, really only got to be a clerk at the naval office in Yokosuka. My house caught fire so I lived in an apartment for a while until well, I arrived here.

Usually a Personification is a representation of a nation that has some kind of special ability that differentiates them from a normal human.

If your char is a nation-personification, please think about something that makes her unique and representative to your nation-canon. This ability/trait will be a specialized skill and will need points, weaknesses, and restrictions. This will also affect your bio should she be a nation-persona.

Well, considering any professional soldier of the Eteridone Legions worth his salt despises titles like 'warrior' because they're reminiscent of an unprofessional savage rather than a skilled soldier... :roll:

He'll probably be biased at first, until he sees this viking's skills at arms.

I'm very sorry for not having been too active. Much has begun in my life which has detracted from everything I do on NS, not just PL. I don't know how long this will be the case for me, but I hope that having only posted a few times this won't be much of a disruption to you all.

Examples are swordsmanship, sniper, coercion, medic, spellcraft, piloting helicopter, manipulate water, etc. You must take a skill pertaining to a supernatural power if you plan to use that power.)

  • Ability 1 and Points Spent: Archery (4 points)
  • Ability 2 and Points Spent: Fast reflexes(2 points)
  • Ability 3 and Points Spent: Human calculator(1 point)
  • Ability 4 and Points Spent:


OPTIONAL SUPERNATURAL CHARACTERISTICS
(You have 7 points to spend here on supernatural skills or abilities, no more than 4 in each. Sonic Scream, Levitation, Shape Shifting etc. Superman MUST have his kryptonite thus weaknesses are things which inhibit the ability. Restrictions are what can't they do with their power or what balances it. They can only use it when they genuinely need it? They can't use it for more then five minutes without serious side-effects? Some things are allowed without points. A pegasus has wings thus it can fly: list wings. A raptor is fast thus no points are spent in speed: list speed and give us its stop speed. These "natural" abilities should be listed here. What isn't allowed: teleportation beyond a few feet; the ability to alter or go back/forward in time. IMPORTANT: You need a knowledge in Specialized Skills and Talents in order to work these abilities. Example: you'll need "manipulate water" to do just that, and this section is where you record what water manipulation abilities the character has.)

MAGICAL OR SPECIAL ITEMS
(If it's not on this list, your character doesn't have it. Magical items are rare and hard to come by. Please list what they can/can't do - treat them like a supernatural thing. Items not allowed: anything that can alter time; anything that allows a character to teleport beyond a few feet. Magical items have 7 points to spread among all of them. No items may be over 4 in power.)

EQUIPMENT
(This is what your character has on their person at the very moment when they are pulled from their home dimension. Laptop? Firearm? Cigarettes and matches? Don't abuse this. They won't be clutching an entire bunker. You have 7 points total to spend on magical items. No single item can be more powerful that 4.)

List:Clothes, Handbag with Makeup, sunscreen and simple medicines(Paracetamol, Bandages, etc), Her favorite bow(she names it Bow-chan) and a half empty bag of potato chips


BACKGROUND
(Be detailed please. You must explain how your character acquired their skills, talents, abilities, and special items. Wrap your primary objectives and goals into it.)

Education or Training: Homeschooled

Character Background/Biography: I was raised in a small village in Japan. My dad had high expectations for me and enrolled in the best schools in the village. Eventually, it didn't meet his standards so I was Homeschooled from elementary. I couldn't fail him after one night seeing how hard he worked at a factory. I don't really remember what he worked as but it really inspired me to work harder as he is working for me. When I was 9, he told me to start practicing archery and gave me some books. He tutored me on Highschool math in middle school to which I would find out after graduating University. In my Highschool years, I would usually be either studying or practicing archery. Man, how I wish I could go back and thank him. Anyway, after University, I applied for the Navy I got acvepted but due to being a female and lack of experience and proper education, really only got to be a clerk at the naval office in Yokosuka. My house caught fire so I lived in an apartment for a while until well, I arrived here.

(What's the inside of their apartment look like. Note: no balconies, please.)

Link to RP examples: (this MUST be a DIRECT LINK to your IC post in an RP, NOT a link to the RP thread itself. If you don't have examples, make your biography good.)


IMPORTANT FINAL STEP:
One paragraph that sums up your character. This paragraph is what we'll use on your player tab on the first page of the thread. This MUST be brief. Your tab will contain a link to your application so people will have full details. Determined woman who is greedy in terms of food. She is a keen Archer and a good companion. Though, she is rather shy at first.
The nickname you go by on NS: UEA
Character Name: Akagi Sakurako
Character Image Link: Akagi



Usually a Personification is a representation of a nation that has some kind of special ability that differentiates them from a normal human. Your app sounds like a normal human with some special skills (add in administration experience as part of her skill set). If this personification is an extension of you - it will be not be accepted, we don't have player personifications as part of current setting.

If your char is a nation-personification, please think about something that makes her unique and representative to your nation-canon. This ability/trait will be a specialized skill and will need points, weaknesses, and restrictions. This will also affect your bio should she be a nation-persona.

Yep.

UEA, I looked over her skills/powers/etc. Here's the breakdown.

    MUNDANE SKILLS
    (These do NOT require points. These are the average, daily things your character can do. Examples are "drive a car", "speak one Foreign Language", "play a guitar", "write poetry". Some mundane skills come from your bio and are freebie. A soldier has gone through Basic training. However, Medic, martial arts or sniper would be a Specialized Skill or Talent.)

      List Mundane skills here
    • Eat half her body weight [this is a supernatural ability]
    • React to surroundings in her sleep [this is a supernatural ability]
    • Listening while asleep [this is a supernatural ability]
    • Poison people with her cooking(She doesn't know this)
    • Speak Japanese fluently
    • Speak basic English

Supernatural abilities require points being spread.

Why is high food consumption a super power? Half of my weight is 40 (rounding up), or over 18 kg. 18 kg is roughly 120 bananas or 30 pairs of shoes. To add to that perspective, the average infant weighs 7.5 pounds or 3.4 kilograms. The female body distends to make room for the fetus, and moving becomes difficult. All that weight presses down the intestines and bladder.


    SPECIALIZED SKILLS AND TALENTS
    (These are specialized skills that set you apart from the average person. You have 7 points to spend here, no more than 4 points in each skill or talent. Examples are swordsmanship, sniper, coercion, medic, spellcraft, piloting helicopter, manipulate water, etc. You must take a skill pertaining to a supernatural power if you plan to use that power.)

    • Ability 1 and Points Spent: Archery (4 points)
    • Ability 2 and Points Spent: Fast reflexes(2 points) [this is a supernatural ability]
    • Ability 3 and Points Spent: Human calculator(1 point) [this is a supernatural ability]
    • Ability 4 and Points Spent:

This is where you list your character's knowledge, not their metahuman abilities.

    OPTIONAL SUPERNATURAL CHARACTERISTICS
    (You have 7 points to spend here on supernatural skills or abilities, no more than 4 in each. Sonic Scream, Levitation, Shape Shifting etc. Superman MUST have his kryptonite thus weaknesses are things which inhibit the ability.

    • Ability 1:
      Power Level:
      Strengths: (what it does)
      Weaknesses: (what counters it)
      Restrictions: (limitations or other factors that hamper it/the character)

    • Ability 2:
      Power Level:
      Strengths: (what it does)
      Weaknesses: (what counters it)
      Restrictions: (limitations or other factors that hamper it/the character)

This is where you list metahuman abilities such as the ability to eat high amounts of food, lightening fast reflexes, quick calculating abilities, awareness while asleep.

All-in-all, Akagi is fairly mundane except for the food consumption and sleep abilities.

My Internet is intermittently down, or I'd write something about MB and Lucky Charms. :P

...I really want me Lucky Charms right now.

But I'll be getting a post up tomorrow. Got a flat tire and have to wait until I officially get home to make a decent post.

TRANSITION! viewtopic.php?f=31&t=405716

Please use that IC. The old one is closed.

It is now 4 AM in the IC. A general alarm rang out in the Building. Everyone assembled in the Lobby and then were ushered out the door. We haven't left your characters time to gather things. They were awoken early. Some might even be in their night clothing.

If you did not sign up for a story, put your character in mine. Anyone without a character in at least one story will be dropped.

Please do not recapture your previous conversations. It's assumed that everyone went to bed in order to get up for training.

Player stories (Slo, NA, Gio) can continue to post for their tales. Please give people some time to respond to tent posts before dropping in a post.

Players in Min and Tilt's group: one of these extraordinary gentlemen will describe what's in your character's tent.

Swith's group: This is your time to shine. Don't worry about going in rounds. Do a post describing combat between a foe and your character. Their opponents are large, wearing armor reminiscent of something you'd expect on an inaccurate fantasy barbarian - helm, breastplate, girded loins, heavy sword/spear/shield. Take your time. She's evaluating your writing technique so it's acceptable to godmod the foe - just don't make him a weak pussy. Your character's focus is on the immediate threat, so she hasn't written a broader description of the surroundings. They won't have noticed it yet nor have the time to ponder the sudden change in scenery.

My group: Your character has just witnessed a plane crash. It's impossible to tell villager from tent-generated person. We can expect some grisly finds (keep it PG13). For the moment, your characters are simply approaching or perhaps trying to organize what they're doing. It's your call.

Once you establish your characters coming to terms with the transition, posts can move more quickly. Short posts for combat will be totally acceptable once we get rolling. The initial posts can be godmodded but she'll taper them off and have players go in rounds (godmodding won't be allowed). Put enough in those posts to let Swith know what your character's action is, what the intended outcome is.

You put down the Papers as unable to participate... Should they staff the triage area?

I'm not sure what Cer's doing with them.

Peeps with characters already involved in stories don't have to send a character on a mission, if the only character they have left is a paper copy.
