I don't have Kik or Tumblr but I do have a Skype account. My username is mancernecro95 if you'd like to add me.

Just made my post but it apparently needs to be approved by a moderator first. I based my post off of some research I did on the internet. Hopefully the facts are accurate ...

Name: Aiden Hoffman

Age: 22

Gender: Male

Shift: Imagimancy… Think acid trippy, but not an acid trip. You know how like when you see a figure or something in the distance and you put your hand out like you’re holding it? Well, he can actually do that. Imagination is his power, but it only works on objects and himself. Example, if he wished hard enough for it, he could make his skin as hard as steel or move the aforementioned car with a single push. Using his power for more complicated reasons gives him headaches and that’s where the drugs come in...

Appearance: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/ae/8b/82/ae8b820d4e19a125ea6fb04631fa39e8.jpg
Aiden stands at 6'2 and wears the hoodie pictured alone with with a random band t under it, a pair of black slim fit jeans and a pair of black chucks. Typical wanna be rock star clothing.

Weapon: He carries a multipurpose pocket knife on his person at all times. Other than the knife it doesn’t really have anything on it. The rest of it comes from whatever tool he can imagine at the time.

Personality: Aiden is that guy you hate, but you also kinda like him for the same reason you hate him. He likes to push buttons just to see how far he can go before you hit him. His confidence or cockiness as some would say fits into this because he feels like he’d beat you in a fight. Always one to crack a joke in the most serious of times and blunt to a fault. I’d say he’s pretty decent.

Bio: Pot head, stoner, not exactly an all around problem child. Aiden grew up in good old Los Angeles, California to two parents who like everyone else, are in the entertainment industry. I’m guessing that’s why he dislikes it so much. His parents found every chance possible to get him into commercials, tv shows, and movies. Aiden was a child star by the age of 13, landing his biggest role as a teen named Chuck White in a show called “Cashews”. The show would run for 5 seasons before being cancelled.

The following year, Aiden won an oscar for his portrayal of a young Fred Astaire in his biopic. The next couple of years would be slow work and he would begin to dabble in drugs from time to time like most child stars. Started out with weed and that turned into stuff like acid and shrooms. In fact, his shift awakened while he was having a trip during a party. Aiden thought he saw a face on the moon and in an attempt to silence it, crushed it between his index and thumb. The power it took to do such a feat rendered him unconscious for 2 days. Naturally, one of the party goers caught it on tape and showed it to him.

Not sure if it was curiosity or stupidity, but he attempted another feat of power to see if what he had heard in circles had happened to him. Sure enough, upon attempting to pull a small tray towards him, he knew it was true. He just needed to do something about his headaches upon using his power… And that’s where the drugs come in. Pain pills and whatever he could get his hands on to stop the pain, he used so that he could abuse his power however he saw fit without feeling hurting immediately after. Because of his abuse, Aiden is now sitting in rehab.

Extra: Aiden knows taichi and kung fu. Two practices he got interested in after playing a character in a straight to dvd martial arts flick.

Approved Chris, I like it. Interesting shift choice too!

Your post was fine to me Mancer, nice job

 

[Abhorsen]

Mancer, nice post. I like how your starting with nothing but have potential to have a lot.

Chris, you power seems really original. I like your characters abrasive personality. Should prove interesting on him forming friendships and bonds with whomever he groups with.

I will be posting soon. Tomorrow at the earliest.

(Don't be afraid to fight salvation as you get to vegas. Keep it short, so we all get there around the same time. However, with the state society is in. Unless you have a character like Mancer has who is avoiding all conflict.. your bound to find it. You don't have to do a lot, but let's get our feet wet.

Thanks guys! I'll be sure to read up more about the locations to help out with my writing and roleplaying.

Noted. I think my character may reach Las Vegas a lot earlier than the other characters due to her living so close by. If needed, I will think of something that she can do there, like gathering resources or information, or even working for some money to support her stay in Las Vegas.

 

[GrandMaster_Chris]

My apologies if my post isn't up to snuff. It's been a hot minute since I've written something other than a paper.

 

[HyperShadic]

That took far longer than was necessary and I had to scrap the first draft cause it would have been much longer. I'll make any changes I need to it in the morning.

And for what it's worth, you're post seems fine to me Chris.

 

[Shinra]

I was tired... but I was also aching to post

 

[MancerNecro]

Is it okay if I make a post within the next few days or should I wait for a few more people to post first?

 

[Story Keeper]

You can post whenever you want, or at least that's what I've seen in the past. Abs and Lunar might have a different opinion though.

I'll try to get a post up in the next few days myself.

Name: Valerie "Val" Vincent

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Shift: Dream Magic Valerie is capable of creating and manipulating a person's dreams. It can be she creates a peaceful, relaxing dream or she creates a nightmare. She is capable of dream walking too, she's able to attack another person in their dreams and depending on how severe the injury is it'll transfer over to the waking world. She can use dreams to send a message to her allies too. She can manifest someone's dreams too, and when it comes into in dream based abilities, she's only limited by her imagination and her target's imagination since it's based on the dreamer's will on how a dream goes.

Appearance: 5'3". Valerie is petite in terms of build, leading to her frequently being mistaken for a young girl. Her body has willowy curves, something that she's uncertain about. Her limbs are thin, and just long enough to seem natural on her figure; lending themselves to be perfect for dance or playing an instrument. She has long blonde hair that falls to her waist in a silky waterfall, her emerald green eyes shine almost as if she's laughing at something constantly. Soft pink lips are full, they're constantly turned up in a smile showing just how cheerful Valerie can be. She wears a cream colored bodice, the front of the top having many different crystals woven together to form numerous designs (something I am going to be lazy on and say just look at the link to get an idea on the designs). For the straps of the top, it's made of a transparent, shimmering material that catches the light easily enough. The skirt is again a cream color, it fits closer by her hips, while still not being snug, only to flare outward the closer it gets to her knees, where it stops an inch or two below. Her shoes are a basic pair of sandals that are white in color, tying into the rest of the outfit. Her ears are pierced and she wears a pair of turquoise stud earrings that are in a heart shape. The last thing is a gold heart locket that has thin veins of emerald and amethyst woven throughout it. She keeps a picture of her family locked within, and she refuses to show it to anyone since she doesn't wish to expose her "heart" to a stranger.
Valerie Vincent

Weapon: N/A

Personality: When her constant state of exhaustion isn't making her subdued, Valerie is quite the social butterfly. Cheerful, she does her best to make everyone around her feel accepted into her group of friends. Although, because of that, there's few people that truly know her. She's brilliant and charming, seeming to make friends easily wherever she goes. She can be a bit of a chatterbox, especially if she's comfortable around someone. Some people have compared her to a parakeet, in the sense that she's hyper, chatty and she's rather colorful in the way she physically expresses herself. She's not obnoxious, or most of the time, she just cares deeply for those that she gets close to. She can be extremely protective of them too. Most people are surprised to see her temper, since it rarely flares and her moments of shyness. What few realize is that Valerie is an introvert that's trying to masquerade as an extrovert, so she's left feeling even more exhausted at the end of busy day than one would think. She's rather gentle and she seems to have a mother type personality, something she'll deny because it gets her flustered.

What isn't seen usually is the festering bubble of pitch black anger, she's bitter from the lot she's been given in life. She can be incredibly cruel, striking out at someone's weak spot when she's pushed too far. She can be hotheaded, charging into a situation without thinking it through if someone she cares about is put in harm's way. She can bit rather curt in her answers, refusing to acknowledge the person that's pushed her to the point that her cheerful facade cracks. She can also be rather vengeful to those that have wronged her, coming up with several ways to get revenge on them for their transgressions. Some of her methods of payback far outweigh the crime, although she'll claim that she's "letting them off with a slap on the wrist". Needless to say, despite her usual cheerful attitude, Valerie is not someone that you want to anger.

Bio: Valerie had to work hard for her grades, especially since she had several sleep disorders when she was growing up. At night she suffered from insomnia, so she could never sleep; but during the day, she'd collapse to the floor asleep (narcolepsy). Her older sister disappeared one day, and despite their best attempts they couldn't find her anywhere. Her parents gave up after several months of searching, but Valerie never did. She eventually got a full scholarship to her college of choice, and excited over it, she begged her parents to let her move to Las Vegas.

Her parents reluctantly agreed, and they even moved with her so she'd have some support. Besides, being a minor, she legally couldn't move that far away on her own. Her life did seem to look up a bit, until the Shift happened and she gained the ability to manipulate dreams. She was scared and unsure of what to do, going to the church a few cities away, she asked what she should do only for her to be shunned and labeled as a witch. Fleeing back home, Valarie put herself into hiding.

After this she befriended three Shifters, all three of them seeming to sympathize with her history. Their names are: Alanna, Seth and Aiden (not GrandMaster_Chris's Aiden). The four of them bounded quickly over the heartache of having someone they care about missing in the stressful time that they have currently found themselves in. It changed one day though, when she randomly received two mysterious letters. One was for her to reach Las Vegas if she wasn't already there to get answers. This one she chose to ignore, the other had her attention. It was a picture of her older sister, the exact one that had gone missing several years ago. The only thing that was written on the back of the picture as a phone number.

It's worth checking into, right?

Other: In her origin story Valerie is the host for the Greek God of Sleep, Hypnos. Hypnos is also the twin brother of Thanatos, the personification of Death in Greek mythology. Also it seems as if because of her hectic sleeping patterns, Valerie's health has started to pay the price.

Hidden Theme: A Vampire's Lullaby *note, I know that's not the actual title of the song*

Battle Theme: Wound Up by LeAnn Rimes

Spoiler Show

Little Carrie Ann what a beautiful girl
From the moment she was born
She was always perfect
Whole town said, why can't you be more like her?

Lights go on and she's ready to spin
On stage doing all the things she's told to
Puts on a show in front of the whole damn world

I pray to the heaven to try to save her soul
'Cause that sweet little angel is not the girl I know

She gets wound up
She gets higher by the minute
Turns the sound up
To drown out all the pain
They all think they know her
But no one really knows
That she goes a little crazy sometimes
Ooh, sometimes

She parks her car at the top of the hill
Only inches from the edge
Where shes almost falling
Stares at the sky till shes drowning in the rain

Nice dress, nice smile
What a wonderful child
If they only knew all the lies shes told them
It's too complicated for her to explain

She prays to the heaven to try to save her soul
'Cause the sweet little angel is close to letting go

She gets wound up
She gets higher by the minute
Turns the sound up
To drown out all the pain
They all think they know her
But no one really knows
That she goes a little crazy sometimes
She goes crazy sometimes (La la la la la la...)

I pray to the heaven to try to save her soul
'Cause that sweet little angel is close to letting go

She gets wound up
She gets higher by the minute
Turns the sound up
To drown out all the pain
They all think they know her
But no one really knows
That she goes a little crazy sometimes, sometimes
She goes crazy sometimes (La la la la la la...)
Oh, sometimes (La la la la la la...)

Approved Skitty. Valerie will be a great addition.

Expect a post from yours truly to be up tomorrow.

 

[Story Keeper]

*digs her way out from the pile of homework she's been buried under for the last few weeks* Hi guys, I just wanted to let you know that I'm going to definitely to have a post up by the end of tomorrow night given the fact that I've found a temporary (and I mean that) break in my homework schedule to be able to squeak out a quick post. My next test isn't until Monday, and I've only got one class tomorrow so it should make it fairly easy to do a post.

So, yeah... I just wanted to give that quick update.

 

[Story Keeper]

Sorry for the double post, I just wanted to say I got a short post done for the RP. I'm sorry for the shortness and crappiness of it, it's just been insane the last for days at work (seriously, this is the first day off I've had since last week Thursday). I hope the post was alright.
