I'm waiting for a good place to have Athi run into Wendy & Koh's group. Right now the story would be "Two homeless girls bond while saving people in a city-wide disaster, and then after everything's wrapped up they run into an alien for some reason.", which would be kind of clunky and weird.

True. It would be difficult to pull off without awkwardness in the storyline.

How about someone, (has anyone not been introduced?), starts a ruckus. Maybe runs into Athi first so Athi isn't forced to decide to show themself later. We all gravitate towards the fight. Some of us meet there and group up?

Cool beans. Have to wait for Wendy's author to jump back on. Then I think Athi wanted to run into us, but we'll start making our way closer somehow.

I'll get something up tonight.

I have a couple of characters (siblings) that I've yet to introduce, who are in San Diego but start out unaligned. I could help if y'all want me to.

I've been trying to get a post up for the past three hours but my computer keeps freezing, so I'm gonna spend a good 20 minutes bashing my head against a wall before going to sleep. Hopefully get something up tomorrow.

Hope it works better for you dude!

If YB, Founding Member?: N
Bio: Arnold Harlodsson was born in Geneva, Switzerland . From a early age, his father, who was a world renowned Psychologist and former student of Sigmund Freud, raised his son to walk in his footsteps. Growing up under these conditions made Arnold a intelligent and calm individual who was able to make quick observations on people and determine their personality and aggression levels., this helped especially when he wanted to stand up to bullies. When Arnold finally graduated High School, he went to the same prestigious university his father went to to study Psychology. As he began his studies, he started to notice that people sometimes saw and heard stuff that weren't really there. These hallucinations interested Arnold and he dedicated his time to studying this phenomena, a satudy that would affect him for the rest of his life.

After years of intensive study, Arnold finally got his PHD in Psychology and started his practice in Geneva. Within 5 years of opening his practice, he gained a reputation of using a mix of Psychiatry and Confrontational therapy to treat his patients, which proved to be very affective. In 1997, Arnold decided to immigrate to America and bring his psychology methods there. After he immigrated, he decided to renew his studies of auditory and visual hallucinations after encountering a schizophrenic patient who claimed to have seen a evil clown stalking him wherever he goes. He eventually started to experiment on similar patients to see what triggered their illusions. These unethical experiments were eventually exposed and Arnold lost his license.

3 years after losing his license, The First Contact happened and Arnold developed a insatiable lust for Alien technology to allow him to continue his research. This desire was eventually granted in 2016 when Arnold discovered a mysterious, palm-sized device while in vacation at the Grand Canyon. After a few hours of examining it, he accidently set it off and caused a hiker to end up drinking sand, which he thought was water. This incident made Arnold realize that this device altered people's minds and made them see and hear things that weren't really there. Realizing this machine could help him continue his experiments, Arnold moved to San Diego and began to prepare for his latest experiment, his test subject, San Diego.

Powers:
  • [Illusions]: (Neuron has a machine that allows him to make visual and auditory illusions that fool most people.)


Limitations (Reasons why your char can’t end the universe):
  • (The machine only works within a 50ft radius)

Weaknesses (Reasons why someone could kick their ass):
  • [Not Immune]: (If exposed to his own machine, Arnold will suffer the same affects as anyone else exposed to it.)
  • [Poor Fighter]: (Arnold, due to his old age, can't fight worth shit and has to rely on henchmen to protect him.)

Likes: Being Right, His Experiments, Messing with people's heads
Dislikes: Failure, Ignorance, Heroes

Accepted

ah, fascinating. Do they affect people immune to such illusions?

I'll get my post into tomorra, I tink.

My guy probably won't be effected. Due to how his power works.

All the machine does is make you hear and see things that aren't really there. For example, he could cause you to see a little girl about to get hit by a car and when you try to save her, you realize too late there is no girl and you end up getting hit instead.

I know Wendy isn't a Young blood, but on the off chance they cross paths I'd say showing Wendy her parents would do the trick.

Athi being affected by the machine would be interesting since they don't really "see" like a human. (They can sense heat in the form of infrared light but the structure they use to do so has far more in common with a pit organ than an actual eye.)

Yeah, same with Koh. If she did run into your illusions though, her sister would knock her off balance. If it can't be that personalized though, just a child in danger would be enough to mess with her head.

How does the machine work?

The Machine itself is pretty complex and only Neuron knows how to use it. Basically, he uses it by pointing the machine, which can fit in the palm of his hand, at the person he wishes to affect. He then presses a button, which causes the machine to fire out a ray of light towards the victim, which affects their brain and causes the illusions to happen. If he is desperate, he presses a button that causes the machine to let out a huge burst of light that effects everyone in a 50ft radius, including him. He only uses that feature however, as a last ditch escape plan.

Ah. Yeah, Reece's avatars are immune. They don't have brains.

Alright, so is any faction, OP-made or not, interested in gathering Dragon Crystals in the middle of nowhere Colombia?

Think you have to talk to Tomia about that. We're not keen on letting everyone mess with those crystals.

I didn't have my character mess with them, but I heavily hinted so far that they are present in the area, for the end that someone would destroy the village in search of them, considering I believe theres a thing in the OP about a very powerful group wanting them.

Otherwise I can do some mass edits to figure something else out. It was just a way to propel my character more into the storyline from thousands of miles away.
