PenguinCafe SmoothCriminal hey, i was just looking at your boys personalities, and i can totally see owen throwing back all of jack's remarks and jokes back in his face, and just try to get on his nerves for the fun of it, and poor kingsley in the middle of it all, trying to get them to stop fighting
just a lil though. what you think? :3
-
Ha, King kinda be the peacekeeper between the two or hell, might even join Owen in his games.
-
Both of my characters are open for plotting!

Hello :) All done!

Name: Xiao Ming Fēng (First name Fēng)
Age/grade (Freshman-senior): Senior, 18 years old (started late)
Gender: Male
Ability : 'Secret Keeping', named exclusively by Fēng; if you've played Hearthstone, you'll get the gist pretty quickly. Basically, its a special, paranormal power that has different responses and conditions upon which these responses are initiated. Another way to put it is that it's like a Yu-gi-oh trap card; it only activates as a result of some condition.
Now conditions are set by Fēng, which alone makes it very versatile.
-I will not be displaying these conditions, just so I/Fēng will be the only one who knows the actual condition upon which the response initiates.
-Responses are always in some form of energy shield, tool, mechanic, or projectile.
The fact that other characters won't know his conditions alone is very OP(in my opinion), so I have some ways people can work around this:
- Fēng can't make too many of these conditions: only 5 secrets can be active at a time and they cannot be identical.
- Only once all 5 secrets have been activated can Fēng create a new set, and each takes time to make.
- Although conditions can be general or specific, both can have drawbacks. If they are to general, many different instances can set the thing off. If they're too specific, it may never get set off, just because the conditions aren't right. Thus, in order to be consistently using secrets, Fēng has to find a way for them to be set off exactly when he wants, which takes lots of planning.
-A single attack from an opponent can satisfy more than one condition, thus stripping Fēng of his secrets much faster. So if someone can find a way to disarm his 'traps', he'll be defenseless until he can create more.
So when comparing strengths and weaknesses...
Strengths: Conditions are 'secret', which gives him a preliminary line of defense, as attackers will be wary not to set off something they might regret. Responses can be interchangeable, making them very versatile in many situations. Conditions can have more than one response. A secret's condition may be activated by another secret's response, making for some wicked chains going off.
Weaknesses: Only 5 at a time. They must be specific enough to be initiated at the right time. More than one can be activated at the same time. They are created one by one.
Physicalities (Scars, burns, freckles, etc.): N/a
Personality: If Fēng does not embody sophistication, then sophistication certainly embodies him! Fēng is a fairly cool and or 'chill' individual, though this behavior is more often pointed towards strangers. Those who do, however, find themselves in a conversation with this young man will find that he is a very well-read and intelligent individual. And in all honesty, he tends to attract attention of good company very well. Guys call him "brother", girls "Sweetheart". He tends to lean more toward chivalry despite its dying and outdated practice. Don't get Fēng wrong though - he is a true trailblazer! His heart and home are with his friends and allies, people he confides in and puts trust in deeply. He conducts matters with both his mind and his heart, both of equal measure. He tends not to favor violence as a solution, though he himself is quite skilled in combat. Above all, he is humble to the core, almost making modesty his calling card if not for charm. He is very approachable, enjoys the company of others, no matter how brief, and is also a great listener, having an innate curiosity for learning, especially if he is able to help anyone physically or emotionally. However, he is not without his faults. Very rarely does he take a liking to chaos and other things he does not understand. Of his clan's four principles of thought: intellect, wisdom, faith, and instinct, he embodies intelligence: the knowledge of the world and its properties. However, despite intellect's close affinity to wisdom and faith, he lacks in instinct. He is very down-to-earth and is easily frustrated and stressed in situations of high tension and disorder. He favors organization and prefers situations where he understands what is going on.
History:
Crush: N/a
Roommates? (3 per dorm): Whoever, he's not picky.
Plot Ideas?: An inter-school group starts abducting students? For what reason I'm still thinking of.
-
I finally drew Zaiden! I edited his app to have the drawing. Also, my wisdom teeth came out way easier than expected so I'm not as exhausted as I expected. c: Needless to say, I'll be as active as I can.
Antani Ohh, I can see that happening. Zaiden won't mind Luther lingering around but he won't go out of his way to befriend Luther. Maybe Zaiden keeps an eye on him since Luther has been bullied?
-
Form's done
-
Ivan Dark I don't think I entirely understand your characters powers, if you could explain a bit more. Otherwise, accepted! I'm going to fix up the dorm room thing and start the RP thread in the next half hour hopefully!
Antani SmoothCriminal Sounds good to me! I was planning on having him and Lex get into like a butt load of fights, so you guys could have your characters maybe egg him on even, idk. Should they get on his nerves in a 'dickish friend' kind of way or a 'this guys an idiot' kind of way?
-
PenguinCafe owen would definitely do it in a 'dickish friend' kind of way, but i think he'd have a pretty good idea of how to push jack's buttons, and would push him to the point where jack would actually get mad at him.
mmm and i think owen wouldn't really go out of his way to be a dick. it just kinda happens. he might egg him on to pick on people or whatever, but if it gets too far, owen would probably turn around and start bashing on jack
-
Antani sounds good!
Heres the RP Thread: Stonewells academy of powers (RP) -
It is sort of hard to explain it without setting up a scenario of some kind. Does this help?
I think its also better if I outright say think of it as magic(though I feel that might not exist in this RP and I'll have to come up with another explanation for why and how his powers work).
Say a person with this ability is faced with a threat, say another student. Right off the bat, if the 'secret keeper' is experienced, they will already have memorized five secrets/conditions that they can easily weave into their airspace; their personal space.
Now, if this space gets violated in anyway, as in if a threat, either the enemy or anything he throws the keeper's way, one or more of these secrets will activate their effects. Now these effects will range from defensive responses, such as shields that block or reflect attacks, evasive responses such as forcefully propelling the keeper to a set distance away from the threat, or a more aggressive retaliation such as magic missile-type projectiles to meet the enemy. Other effects can be named, but most are going to be arcane based, encircling similar effects such as the ones above.
So, let's say the keeper has five secrets with these conditions
1. If the user is threatened by a projectile, the projectile is reflected.
2. If the user is threatened at melee range, the user is moved 10 ft to the left
3. If the user's secret 1 is activated, unleash 3 energy projectiles.
4. If the user's secret 2 is activated, create an energy shield for the user that absorbs the next incoming attack
5. If the user's secret 3 and 4 are activated, repeat the response of secret 3.
So, then it works like what it sounds like. If the enemy attacks the user up close, 2 procs, and the user is transported to the left 10 ft. Then, according to the sequence, 4 activates, as it has satisfied the condition, creating a shield for the user. Two secrets will have then been used. Then, if the user is attacked with a projectile, the projectile is reflected back in accordance to secret 1. Then, 3 procs, unleashing the projectiles and then finally 5 procs in accordance to 3 and 4 being activated, successfully activating all of the secrets.
Then, once all secrets are used up, the user can create another web of traps with different conditions.
I will now take questions lol, 'cause I know there are some things I probably left out.
-
I think I'm understanding it better. Maybe it'll be easier when it's actually in the RP
-
And I'll make sure the effects aren't over-the-top too. Most of the ones that are aggressive are usually, at most, equal to the power of the threat that they're facing. And there are gonna be some that are actually going to work against my character too, as well as some interesting ones. There are some passive ones that are just naturally occurring, such as
1. whenever the user likes a person, their eyes change color.
2. Whenever the user lies, they will slowly get softer until they are mute; the effect wears off as they start telling the truth.
3. When secret 1 is activated, the user will have the strange urge to go to the bathroom.
4. When secret 3 is activated and once the user is in the bathroom, the user no longer has the urge mentioned beforehand.
5. When all other secrets have activated, the user will revert back to their normal state.
Stuff like that.
Also, there's some other things to note, since this ability alone is kicking my creativity's butt for ideas.
-He actually writes the conditions down in a note book and memorizes the most important ones beforehand, since he always starts with 5. Then, if he needs to 'cast' more, he'll open his book(probably small enough to keep on him), and create some that way.
-The word and in a condition increases the response's effectiveness, but decreases the secret's viability, making it harder and more specific to activate. The word and in a response decreases the response's effectiveness. So condition + and, then response = stronger response, but condition, then response + and = weaker response. Thus, condition + and, then response + and = balanced response. The word and can be used as many times as the user desires, but it will always be more specific, and thus harder to activate, since all the and's have be fulfilled at the same time.
-The word or in a condition increases the likelihood of the secret being activated, but reduces the effectiveness of the response. The word or in a response doesn't do much, only adding to a randomness/unpredictability factor to the secret, as or makes the response(s) equally possible to be carried out, and thus have a chance to be activated. i.e. condition + or, then response = weak response. condition, then response + or = balanced response, but 50/50 chance of response 1 or response 2.

⋘ ᴇʟᴇᴀɴᴏʀ ᴍᴀɢᴘɪᴇ ⋙ ❱ ahhhh old doodle but oh well ;w; ❰
Name: Eleanor Magpie
Age/grade: 17, Junior
Gender: female
Ability:
She can enter any device, manipulate, and travel between them. She cannot bring others into the digital world, she cannot always enter certain files/devices, and when in a device, her physical form disappears. For the most part, Eleanor can quickly get by passcodes, though hardcore coding can stop her. Entering the laptop of a student isn't an issue, but trying to enter a government/military device is something she hasn't been able to do. If the device she is in is powered off completely, she's trapped until its turned back on. Viruses can harm her, but at most they slow her down or freeze her for a short amount of time.
Another major problem is that she is currently stuck in the digital world. She's been trapped since before she arrived, but has worked her way around this issue. She's usually on a cellphone/laptop and can still listen to lectures as long as the device she is in has a working mic.
Physicalities: She can manipulate her body while in a device, so any special traits are up to her mood. Once she exits, her body is returned to normal. Her physical body does have a a few scars she got from home as well as dyed hair.
Personality: Eleanor is rather spontaneous. She's nerdy, loves puns, and loves to scare students by messing with their electronics. She tricked some of the students into believing the idea that the school is haunted just by flashing the lights on and off. While she knows her situation is a nightmare, she actually enjoys being stuck. She's able to enter games, travel all over the net, and collect tons of information. Food and other necessities are not needed while in the digital world so she sees that as a huge pro. She does have periods of intense loneliness as she is unable to have a physical connection with people.
History: Her family wasn't the kindest. Her father was an alcoholic and her mother a stranger that rarely showed her face. Eleanor used to get into multiple fights with her father, resulting in her gaining cuts and bruises, until it was discovered that she could enter electronics. At first she would only enter devices to escape her father's rage, but after spending a whole day in her laptop, Eleanor found herself unable to exit. After being trapped, she literally emailed herself to the academy in order to find help.
Crush: (pLOT) (pansexual btw)
Roommates: oof, she doesn't really need a room so long as she has a safe device to stay in.
Plot Ideas: It would be interesting for her start messaging another student (who doesn't know of her situation) and that they slowly start to fall for one another online/over text.
She can also blackmail people easily since she can enter their phones and all. Maybe she has some sort of business where students hire her to collect blackmail? Eleanor can also repair/restore devices so long as they aren't physically broken.
❱ open to plotting ! ❰
