Alright, here's Jeremy! This ones much closer to the very first version of him I ever came up with than the goofy idiot I've been bringing in over the last few RPs here. It even has a side character from his original story, who I'm probably gonna make an app for as well. Hope he doesn't suck too much!

Character App
Name:
Jeremy Lindall

Age:
20

Sex: Male

Sexual Orientation:
Straight

Bio:
Jeremy's story is one that's full of fights, most of them for stupid reasons. Early on, he lived a normal life with his mother, his father dying when he was still too young to even remember him. His blatant lack of people skills got him into more fights than most would consider healthy, but other than that, normal kid. Then his mother introduced him to one of her colleagues from work, Alexander Washburn, and by extension his daughter, Hannah Washburn. Ever since that day, Jeremy has been tasked with looking out for (babysitting) Hannah to make sure she doesn't do anything stupid or crazy, which he regularly fails at, and therefore has to clean up the messes (horrible fights with every scary person she talks to) she leaves in her wake. This took his already pretty bad tendency to end up in fights up to eleven, due to her smug personality, tendency to insult everyone she meets, and habit of intentionally running into terrible situations pissing off just about every small time thug in their city. Thankfully, Jeremy has been able to keep her away from anything bigger like say, the Mafia, or maybe North Korea, but he worries its only a matter of time, and just wishes things would calm down a bit so he can just rest a little.

Appearance:
Image




Starting Items:
A bokken, because he's a damn weeb and if he's gonna get dragged into fights anyway, he may as well use it.
A flip phone, because in his mums own words, if he's gonna keep breaking them he doesn't get to have another nice one!
A drink bottle
An apple
A sandwich
An empty wallet
Potato seeds
A backpack
A volume of the Trigun manga

Power:
Sevenfold Flash
Sevenfold Flash, as he will come to call his cool new power, allows Jeremy to move his body at a truly ridiculous speed, about two hundred kilometres per hour for a single second at a time. This isn't enough time for him to cover a great distance, only about three metres, but it's enough to give him a significant edge in a fight, letting him get close enough to an enemy to hit with his bokken, dodge what would normally be extremely difficult to evade, and swing with inhuman speed.

Unfortunately, there is a cool down of ten seconds after each use, which can mean the difference between life and death in a real fight. extensive use will can also leave him exhausted, so it isn't beneficial to use it too often anyway. Finally, the one second limit doesn't really leave him with enough time to correct himself, so if he flashes in a direction, he has to stick with it.

The reason he calls it Sevenfold Flash is that it causes his body, along with anything he's holding, to glow with the colours of the rainbow. Deciding that rainbow flash didn't sound as cool, he went for the weebier sounding name.

Skills:
Jeremy is pretty handy in a fight, spending the last thirteen or so years of his life getting dragged into them at every opportunity. Once the anime phase started, he managed to convince his mother to sign him up for probably the only kendo class in the country, so he's actually pretty skilled with his bokken too. Along with the fighting skills, he's actually an avid gardener, and knows how to grow a lot of different plants, particularly vegetables. Finally, he has a depressingly vast, almost encyclopaedic, knowledge on anime. He can tell you most things you might ask about, even if, like most people, you never actually asked…
Or cared.



RP Sample: Aaah, you know me…

Did you read the Rules? Sure did!

What about number 9? Damn it, I had something funny for this bit, but I've forgotten...



Optional Stuff:
Personality:
Jeremy, in the words of Hannah and his mother, currently holds the title of 'Worlds Youngest Old Man'. Often tired, he prefers to sit around watching anime or work on his garden than run around the city. However, he constantly has to deal with shenanigans from Hannah, and years of being dragged after the short girl has led to him being rather grumpy a lot of the time. All he wants is a little peace and quiet, damn it! Why does everything have to get in the way!

However, despite his words, Jeremy can be quite protective, and is often the first to jump into terrible situations when things look bad for someone he cares about. He'll try to play it off as no big deal, saying something about Hannah's terrible influence rubbing off on him, but that won't stop him from doing it all again if he feels he should. He's kind of bad with praise like that, never really being able to accept it without extensive insistence of the person giving it.

Finally, if things look bad but haven't devolved into a fight yet, he will try to be the voice of reason and diffuse the situation. Thanks to his poor people skills, this is more often than not the spark that turns it from a tense situation to a brawl.

Likes:
Anime, gardening, his as of yet unnamed bokken, peace and quiet, sleeping.

Dislikes:
Being dragged into things, violent idiots, normal idiots, random chaos.



Alignment: Probably Chaotic/Neutral Good, but don't quote me on that.

Theme Song:
Know Know Know - DOES

And here's Hannah! A bit less developed due to never using her in an RP before and the original character being from a universe with different rules, but I hope it's not too terrible.

Character App

Name:
Hannah Washburn

Age:
19

Sex:
Female

Sexual Orientation:
Probably bi, but she doesn't honestly know. Guess she'll have to wait and see if anyone strikes her fancy before saying for sure.

Bio:
Hannah is a girl who has spent her whole life chasing two goals. The first was to escape her boredom, taking every chance to entertain herself, and the second was to seek praise from the few people she didn't alienate in the process of the first. She found the chance to do both when she first met her best friend, Jeremy Lindall, who was the son of one of her dads colleagues.

Over the next thirteen years, she dragged him around the town, playing detective to copy all the books she liked so much, which more often than not ended in brawls that two kids should not have made it out of as unscathed as they did. Eventually, she became quite good at it, and along with a number of martial arts lessons, her tendency to get into fights left her a capable, even vicious fighter despite her appearance. Unlike Jeremy, she would love nothing more than to continue living the way she is now, looking down on and fighting people twice her size, and teasing everyone she comes across.

Appearance:
Image




Starting Items:
Three blank notepads
A pencil case
A shiny new iPhone
A stocking with a rock in it
A wallet with three hundred dollars inside.

Power:
Monster Strength
Hannah's power has about as much nuance as the girl herself. Instead of a complicated power with a bunch of different factors, Hannah is just strong.

Very strong…

Hannah's punches are strong enough to shatter stone and fold some weaker metals like a tissue. Her grip strength is also something to be reckoned with, and if she were to grab a large tree with one arm and something trying to move away, such as a ship with the other, the tree would be torn from the ground before her grip failed. She wouldn't be able to carry the tree off the ground though. She can lift things at least ten times her weight, but anything heavier than that is a no go.

However, this power has a few problems, namely that… well… she's not entirely sure how to turn it off, if she even can. After obtaining the power, she will find that she ends up breaking things a lot more, and while it's still a lot of help in combat, it makes life away from the fighting a little more difficult… In addition, this ridiculous strength takes a lot of energy to keep up, and she will often find herself getting exhausted if a fight takes too long. She can get around this somewhat by eating a lot, but even then, its not so much something that helps in the fight as it does afterwards.

Skills:
Hannah is quite observant, and can pick up on small details that others might miss. She has also learnt a number of strategies for extracting information from people, messing with their heads and either provoking or beating them into giving her the information she wants to know. She is particularly skilled at learning peoples deepest fears. In addition to this, Hannah is well trained in martial arts, having taken classes since she was four. Finally, she is quite the talented illustrator, a talent she often uses to draw the aforementioned deepest fears to mess with people.



RP Sample: (If I know you, you can pass on this, if not... or I don't remember you, then no skipping.)

Did you read the Rules? Yeppers!

What about number 9? Yuh huh!



Optional Stuff:

Personality:
Hannah is a girl who most people will describe as a 'smug bitch' or 'a demon in human form'. She gets bored quite easily, and is therefore constantly on the lookout for something to capture her interest. This generally ends in chaos erupting everywhere she goes, which she finds just as interesting as anything else that could happen. She loves to tease and mess with people, especially those who give her amusing reactions like Jeremy, and has a particular love for a good brawl, which is good seeing as her massive ego has a tendency to start them.

However, despite the way she acts, she does have a soft spot for her friends, and will almost always throw the first punch if someone she cares about is in trouble. In a fight, she is ferocious, showing little mercy. She'll only hold back to the point where anything more would get her arrested.

She's also kind of clingy in regards to the friends who actually stick around in spite of her personality, getting jealous when other people get too friendly with them out of fear that they'll end up leaving too.

Likes:
Fighting, INVESTIGATION, detective stuff, sewing chaos and anarchy, deducing peoples fears, using peoples fears against them, teasing people, drawing, praise.

Dislikes:
Sticks in the mud, people stealing away the few friends she has, suck ups.




Alignment: Chaotic good at best. Subject to change though.

Power: Memory manipulation: Johnny has the power to alter the memories of both people he is interacting with and of himself. This takes two forms. The first is memory deletion, in which John looks through the memories of a person and precisely excises a certain point or sequence of points. The result is a total inability of the brain to recall whatever was destroyed, erasing the memory permanently. The second aspect is memory alteration, which can be conflated with a third, imaginary power: memory recovery.

Memory alteration allows two options; the first is to change a memory to be anything he would like it to be. The second is fabricating an entirely new memory, either using the basic fuzz left over from a total or partial deletion, or from a more complicated insertion of an entirely new memory. Whichever used is then adopted as memory by the brain as new memory. The confusion can arise when people, having no way of remembering what is no longer a part of their memory, or differentiating an inserted thought from their past, think that what he has created is in fact a recovered memory. In truth, there is no process to recover a destroyed or forgotten memory.

The limitations of this power are as such. First, without preparation, only casual memories, recent memories, or memories being actively considered can be manipulated. This might be the location of ones keys, something someone just said, what a painting you just saw was of, if they had just seen Johnny, or even why they feel a certain way. The simpler or fresher the memory, the easier it is to change.

Second, to achieve a deep memory probe at least some amount of mental concentration is needed, which is limiting to movement and speech; that said, no physical or visual contact is needed for this power to work. So long as John can visualize what he is doing, he can probe a mind of someone nearby. Once a deep memory probe is commenced, a person memories can be searched through going as far back as they remember, and can be altered as is seen fit by Johnny. Should his actions result in a mental conflict for the afflicted, Jonathon feels a slight ringing and a mental "push" towards the problem. He can either resolve it or allow the mind to reconcile the problem itself; surprisingly the mind works well at making even nonsensical alterations fit within the mental narrative.

Thirdly, the reach of this power is effective until about ~25 feet.

Finally, the changes this power makes do not align well with the passage of time, and the changes are as fast as John thinks of them. As such if he goes into ones mind with something prepared then even large changes can be quick. However, if he has to find a memory and then come up with a new narrative, the process can take longer than one would think, depending on how creative he is.



RP Sample: I haven't been on this for a while now, so I don't know if old material is much of a representation of me anymore. But if you would like I will link it.

No to the fifty times. At most I'll allow ten times.

My applications will be up in a few hours. Out of curiosity, how do we get powers? Radiation from the nuclear war? Side effects from cryosleep?
I use my NationStates stats, because a population of billions/trillions and an economy of hundreds of trillions is totally viable, trust me.
But seriously, aside from the population and GDP, just assume that my NS stats are roughly accurate.

Support: Paleo-imperialism, conservatism, libertarianism, Christianity.
Against: Stupid people, resistance to industrial progress, alt-right, any form of government at or beyond socialism.

So... how do we get timewarped nearly a 1000 years into the future?

Eh, I guess I'll figure it out later.

Sevenfold Flash
Sevenfold Flash, as he will come to call his cool new power, allows Jeremy to move his body at a truly ridiculous speed, for a single second at a time. This isn't enough time for him to cover a great distance, but it's enough to give him a significant edge in a fight, letting him get close enough to an enemy to hit with his bokken, dodge what would normally be extremely difficult to evade, and swing with inhuman speed.

Unfortunately, there is a cool down of ten seconds after each use, which can mean the difference between life and death in a real fight. extensive use will can also leave him exhausted, so it isn't beneficial to use it too often anyway. Finally, the one second limit doesn't really leave him with enough time to correct himself, so if he flashes in a direction, he has to stick with it.

The reason he calls it Sevenfold Flash is that it causes his body, along with anything he's holding, to glow with the colours of the rainbow. Deciding that rainbow flash didn't sound as cool, he went for the weebier sounding name.


How fast is "a truly ridiculous speed"?

Name:
Hannah Washburn
Power:
Monster Strength
Hannah's power has about as much nuance as the girl herself. Instead of a complicated power with a bunch of different factors, Hannah is just strong.

Very strong…

Hannah's punches are strong enough to shatter stone and fold some weaker metals like a tissue. They can even send small shockwaves for about a meter, which while not to damaging in their own right are still strong enough to push weaker opponents backwards. Her grip strength is also something to be reckoned with, and if she were to grab a tree and something trying to move away, such as a ship, the tree would be torn from the ground before her grip failed. Finally, she can lift things at least fifty times her weight.

However, this power has a few problems, namely that… well… she's not entirely sure how to turn it off, if she even can. After obtaining the power, she will find that she ends up breaking things a lot more, and while it's still a lot of help in combat, it makes life away from the fighting a little more difficult… In addition, this ridiculous strength takes a lot of energy to keep up, and she will often find herself getting exhausted if a fight takes too long. She can get around this somewhat by eating a lot, but even then, its not so much something that helps in the fight as it does afterwards.


How big are the stones she can break with one punch? No to the shockwaves from her punches.

How big of a tree?

No to the fifty times. At most I'll allow ten times.


So for the stone, I meant it more in terms of the material itself than an actual big rock. Like, she'd punch a wall made of rock or concrete and a chunk of it would all but explode. Just to answer your question though, probably about a square metre of rock would be destroyed with a good punch, so any rocks around that size of smaller would shatter.

I've edited the rest of it in, but just to answer the other questions, I've decided to make the ridiculous speed about 200 km/h, which would let him move about three metres in the second he has. For the tree, it'd be a pretty large tree, but she wouldn't be able to lift that tree once it's out, or at least not without the ships help. I dunno, I'm not great with science, particularly physics.

Hmmm, I’m debating rping an elderly character, but I don’t know how well that’d turn out. Eh, I could have a superpower that supplements it or something.

Strength seems alright. I'll allow that speed.

As for the tree.... as large as a Redwood? Oak? Birch? Give me an idea of the maximum

Well, I don't really know a whole lot about trees, but redwoods are kind of ridiculously huge, right? Not that big... I guess oak might be the best description, but even then I'm not too sure, sorry.

I never stated the planet was dead. Remember Pandemonium is not Earth.

Cool, should hopefully finish my app tonight.

I made the edits and included a sample.

Though I would like to say the reason I made his power have some range is that Johnny isn't a fighter; the range was intended to allow him some avenues for escape and avoidance of direct combat. I worry if he needs to be in contact with someone to use his power he will end up dead quickly. Unless combat and necessary fights aren't going to be as common as I'm imaging, in which case I'm fine with the change. Or if you think such a character would be viable even with the change.
