    Excited to join in :D

    Name: Clara Hampton

    Age: 19

    Gender: Female

    Species: Human

    Appearance: Miss Hampton is a woman with class and style. Her brunette hair is rolled up into a bun and loose pin curls frame her pale face. Clara’s sharp blue eyes never miss anything out of place and her lips are coated a fiery red. She's currently wearing a white and black striped boarding dress which shows off her slim hourglass figure quite nicely. (Similar to this one: http://webspace.webring.com/people/jj/juydesiles/costumes/others/dress-board-drawing.jpg ). White leather gloves cover her small hands, and an elaborate black floppy hat sits atop her head.

    Personality: Coming from a millionaire family, Miss Hampton is used to getting her way. Friendly, persuasive, and oftentimes flirtatious; she is both a blessing and a curse among her social circle. Gossip is her first love and she prides herself in knowing things others don’t. Observation is key and she’s very quick-witted. Not to mention, Clara is spoiled rotten and has never worked a hard day in all her nineteen years of life.

    History: 1911. New York City. Clara has not known any other besides being raised by nannies, tutored by the best teachers, and given a life of wealth that so many desire.
    Now at nineteen, all she needs is a husband to make her life complete. Her parents have matched her with many men of high standing, but she has declined each one.
    During a recent day of window-shopping, she had run into a certain childhood friend, Mr. Edward Douglas. Through delightful conversation, she heard that he was there that week to board the newest ocean liner of the White Star Line, RMS Olympic. Afterwards, Clara easily snatched a ticket. She’s now set sail in First Class accompanied by her servant Jane, to find her “Mr. Right”.

    Powers/Equipment: She carries a small bag around her wrist that holds a woman’s necessities. (I.e., powder puff, lipstick, small writing pad and pencil.) Plus, her lace parasol and wit ;)

    Doctor of What!?

    Name:
    Doctor Cuddles/Cathy Cuddles

    Age: 103

    Gender: Female (Originally)

    Species: Human/Teddy Bear

    Appearance: Dr.Cuddles stands exactly two feet tall…..because she’s a teddy bear. A living teddy bear.

    She’s plumper model of bear, she considers herself pleasantly portly.

    Her fur is not shaggy and a light brown.

    Her left ear is stitched from a previous accident.

    Cuddles eyes are black marbles but upon closer examination green human eyes can be seen inside them, her mouth has small shining white child teeth and small blood colored gums.

    Due to her stubby nature Cuddles cannot properly walk without falling on her face, so she relies on her various creations and Igoria to get around.

    Though she no longer has genitalia she wears a bright pink bow on her head to signify she is or was a female at one point.

    To top it off she sports a white lab coat that has been modified to fit her perfectly.



    Personality: Dr. Cuddles has very little care for anyone but herself and believes her practices are much more necessary then petty things such as lives.

    She considers herself above good and evil.

    She is a seeker of knowledge and nothing more, even if obtatining knowledge means the expense of others.

    Cuddles is in truth a true sociopath unable to feel for anyone else. As long as the experiment is interesting she’ll do what she wants.

    Cuddles can also be highly manipulative when she wants to be and extremely ill-tempered when things don’t go her way.

    History: Cuddles was born a beautiful baby girl to her witch mother Salma Cuddles

    Cathy Cuddles had very little growing up so her mother encouraged to work hard in her schooling and she did.

    Cathy loved learning and absorbing knowledge from any source she could, so it was only a matter of time before she began practicing spell casting along with her mother.

    But as she was young and impatient she could not rival her mother in that field a feeling that she not used to.

    Someone better then her?

    No

    She would not allow that.

    So Cathy did the most obvious thing and took an axe to her mother’s head.

    If her mother stopped existing then she wouldn’t be better then her anymore, right?

    That was her first murder and a messy one at that.

    She spent some time toying with her mother’s body after that, experimenting on it.

    As she was inexperienced she of course was eventually found and sent off to a mental institute.

    She spent some years there studying her fellow inmates and the staff.

    Using her wit and charm she managed to escape after 5 years of being caged.

    Still hungry for knowledge she set off on a journey that spanned across the entire globe.

    She continued her study of the occult and sciences.

    Kidnapping people to experiment on or mentally scarring people or killing people by testing an item.

    And try as they might she always evaded capture from authorities and enemies alike.

    As time went on she gave herself the title of Doctor and made her home in Sweden.

    Yet fear took hold of her as her body slowly started decline due to old age.

    In a last ditch effort to save her own life she used her vast knowledge to prepare a new body to itself and out of sheer curiosity she decided upon a teddy bear.

    She used various stored organs, body parts and blood to add into this project of hers and after a very painful procedure.

    She….found herself quite comfortable in her new form.

    Powers and Equipment:

    The Crawler: Long metallic like spider legs that can stretch from a small backpack Cuddles wears.

    The tips extremely sharp.

    Various scapels for cutting experiments open when the time comes.

    Lase pointer: A pen that's a literal laser, capable of producing heats able to cut through steel or people.

    Arma: A small mechanical arm that wraps around Cuddles waist and works as her hand as her bear stubs.....aren't the best for picking things up.

    with the proper preparations Cuddles can also preform various spells such as inflicting curses and moving her being into other things.

    Though both these things need to be under the right conditions to work.




    The Assistant

    Name: Igoria Von Strassburg

    Age: 22

    Gender: Female

    Species: Human (Modified)

    Appearance: Igoria’s is a very pretty young woman.

    Her pale skin is decorated by rosy white cheeks and she has stunning long black hair.

    Her forehead has a line of stitches going around it and she conceals this by wearing a black Russian woman’s Muskrat.

    Her face is 99 percent of the time locked into a stoic expression, even when faced with the most of horrific events.

    Her main attire is a black three piece suit and a black trenchcoat and of course black leather gloves.

    Despite her gothic appearance she is non inmidating upon first meeting, due to her small size. She’s only 5’3 in height.


    Personality: Igoria is all business and no smiles. She is quick to jump to the defense and do the bidding of her master.

    She also has a knack for pointing out illogical things.

    Despite these things she remains forever curious of her own origins and the people around her.

    She has a hard time understanding….people.

    History: An orphaned baby Cuddles came across in her travels.

    Cuddles renamed the child Igoria as she was out to create the perfect helper.

    She altered the baby’s DNA and implanted her with various modifications to her body, after years upon years of being tortured by experimentation and being put through various mental and physical tests.

    She took her place as Cuddles assistant, protector and butler.

    Powers/Equipment:

    Igoria has been trained since childhood to be a person of many skills and her modifications only increase what would already be a dangerous foe.

    Strength: Due to her DNA altercation and tech implanted into her muscles and bones her lifting and striking power can reach up to 20 tons of force.

    She can also drive or fly almost any vehicle from cars to boats to trains and planes.

    Weaponry

    Igoria is extremely skilled with firearms and knives

    Her usual arsenal consists of Two revolvers, 5 throwing knives, pump shotgun, sniper rifle and whatever else she can pick up along the way.

    She’s also been trained in various forms of hand to hand combat.

    The feeling of pain has all been shut off in her body.

    So when damage is taking she rarely notices until her target is destroyed.

    Is a gourmet chef and speaks several different languages.

    A baby holster can also be usually be found on her chest or back as she carries her beloved master Cuddles in it.

    Fine, I hope this gets to be approved...

    Taylor Cooper
    Age: 29
    Gender: Female
    Appearance:
    Taylor has the junkie tall blonde look but not for nothing. As she is, all you can tell she's a girl in platform boots, tight jeans, and shirts too many size bigger than her, who's 5'8", carrying a purse in one hand, a leather jacket in the other. She is extremely beautiful, with her light blue eyes.

    Background/history:

    Taylor was born in an island. near Jersey, to unknown parents. In a world ravaged with fear and famine, she had to do something to live so she went up the ranks as a teenage prostitute to a singer in a lounge club (where they named her) in the now defunct city of Asbury Park. ( (now called wasteland) It seemed like she had no other intentions other than to keep living and forgetting about life and within her circle of "friends and acquaintances", she got it on with the infamous purple drank. That was her food and her poison, although besides that, coffee and cigarettes, a collection of Billie Holiday 78rpms she played on an old usb turntable she kept at her place, rigged up by an iPad, where she could listen to it. She found out from early on she could learn and heal faster then anybody else, and she can use that in her own defense very well.

    Strengths/weaknesses:
    She has a collection of butterfly knives and she damn well can handle them with superior dexerity. She is, however very easy to be lured with drugs, and will do anything she wants to get to them. In fact, the lust for being in control of something can blind her completely off her initial objectives. She fights fastly but moves slowly.

    There ya go

    Yes... but I've kind of got carried away lol. I have a nice intro that I am making (currently 800 words), but I still need time to finish and put Felix in the portal (probably won't have chance today).

    Whereas what I could do is split it into two parts, that way I can post some now and be on the board, as it were :) What do you think?

    Which ever you feel like doing, go for it. Though, since it's a lower level RP I might suggest two parts so people don't have to read a huge post and miss pertinent character details you put in it.

    You didn't? Oh well, maybe because I forgot to post it.

    Note to Newbies: Do as I say, not as I do.

    Name: Kaiden Reynolds / Alex

    Age: 34

    Gender: Male

    Species: Humanoid

    Appearance: Tall, muscular build with two heads. One of his heads was implanted artificially to increase his brainpower to assist in calculating gambling odds and counting cards. It was recently damaged when a horse kicked it and now it has taken on a personality of its own. Kaiden's head has brown hair and a perfect smile and Alex has blonde hair and now has a crooked nose.

    Personality: Kaiden is skeptical of pretty much everything and everybody. He's not afraid to take risks, as long as there's something in it for him. He always dreamed of becoming something more, but always seemed to wind up at the bottom of a bottle or in the pit of a galactic casino.

    History: His father abandoned him when he was young and his mother works off planet as a nurse.

    Powers/Equipment: He still has use of the combined mental capacity of both his brains, even though Alex uses practically none of it. He may bluff his ignorance in order to calculate a clever method of victory.

    Hello, I finally found the time to make a character sheet. Hope you like it!

    Name:
    Roland Lottaker Willson

    Age: 34

    Gender: Male

    Species: Cyborg

    Appearance: Ignoring his cybernetic apparatus attached to his back and limbs, he is fairly normal looking. He's a black male, tall and is lean. His face is long and his eyes are brown. He usually wears a white t-shirt, with the words "Energy is Power," white jeans, and white shoes. His Extrahuman-Nuclear-Powered-Assistor(ENPA), is a device attached to his back and limbs comprised of two parts. Attached directly to his bone structure is his Limb Stabilizer, which looks like a rectangular 10 inch by 10 inch box with piping extending out of it that connect to his legs, arms, back, neck, feet, and hands. Also coming out of the box is an extra two hind legs which help support the new weight caused by the second part of the ENPA. The second part, attached to the back of the Limb Assistor, is a compressed fusion reactor, which is a larger box, which is 4 meters by 5 meters by 5 meters big. Supporting this massive machine is the main function of the two mechanical hind legs. Coming out of the reactor is a funnel which anything can be dropped into.

    Personality: Quick-witted, confident, proud, and intelligent, he does not care for laziness of any kind, so he can come off as very insulting and egotistic. He values personal improvement and the improvement of the human species above all else. However, he is honorable, honest, and loyal.

    History: Roland comes from a planet officially named Sauron, for it's blazing temperatures compared to other inhabitable planets. However, by the men and women who have lived there, it is called Eureka. The planet is 14.9 light years away from Earth, and it's average temperature is 70 degrees Celsius. The reason it is inhabited is that it holds a massive store of silicon found in the coldest section of the planet: the Edmond Mountains. Also abundant in the planet are all sorts of metals, nonmetals, and metalloids that have been used in electronics for decades now. The planet holds only a population of around 1500 people, with only one city situated in the Edmond Mountains. Most of the population is black, due to the extra radiation from the sun. Most of the city's power comes from massive solar panels situated in the nearby desert.

    Due to it's small population and only attraction being it's electronics industry, the city's only inhabitants are scientists. It's whole society revolves around the improvement of technology, and for that reason, it has flourished. Of all the 23 colonized planets, it is the most technologically advanced. For example, 3 years before Roland's birth, the first fusion reactor was created.

    Roland was born with a disability in his left leg. His entire leg was paralyzed and couldn't move. For years he used an Assistant Chair, but when he turned 28, he invented the Limb Assistor, but it required massive amounts of power, which made it thoroughly useless.

    3 years before the present, there was a huge-scale accident where a mining expedition came across a huge cave of giant insect creatures. These insect creatures lived in caves underground and fed off the minerals in the rocks. They flooded up into the city, and destroyed infrastructure and killed many before they were forced back by quickly developed weaponry. Due to the insects' scales, it was hard to kill them, so the main weapon used were lasers. These could focus on an insect's eye, and blind it permanently by burning into it's brain and melting it's eye. This incident was called the Flea Flurry by a group of high school students.

    The city developed regulations on mining to prevent a similar event, and created many radar stations which could scan underground. It's been said it's at the pinnacle of technology, but Roland is certain there's more to accomplish...

    Powers/Equipment:

    ENPA-This advanced piece of technology attaches to his limbs, and is built to be able to build/rebuild/tear muscles quickly, and to provide boosts in adrenaline, general intelligence, coordination, and immediate knowledge of a surrounding. For example, he has olympic-level physical attributes with this on, and has a rough IQ of 300.

    Laser-This laser is attached to his arm, underneath his shirt. This is the same design as was used to blind the insects in the Flea Flurry. It can reflect off of mirrors, although it has a maximum setting of 500 Celsius, which would make melting the mirror more likely. It's power level can be adjusted, making for a range of 50-500 degrees Celsius.

    Hind Legs-These can support him, and make walking up near vertical slopes possible, although difficult.

    Reason for Wanting the Orb:(I know this isn't a category but it is important)

    He'll want it because it will finally provide an unlimited source of power for him to bring back to his home planet. With it, he thinks there'll be so much he would be able to accomplish.

    no -having a pile of jelly land on you isn't the right term. Dana just ended up inside Eve. :D:D:D:D

    Thankfully Eve isn't a fan of people being in her space, so they were standing a bit apart now.

    oh, and LtW i just realized an ability that Eve has that i don't think i listed.

    -She can compact the metals in her body to create copy-weapons for others (this can only be accomplished if she has the original weapon inside her so she can copy it)

    Shouldn't Keitsumah do a bit of editing to fit the junkie girl who arrived in a beam of light and was seen by Eve, Alex and Schadenfreunde (sp? I'll check it out later)? I mean I became completely stuck if two dudes see me and I shout at them and BLAM the Jelly becomes an eel? I 've written my part before so, no matter how much contempt you fellas may be gathering for my detestable character, I think something should be done. Until then, I'm just stuck. And I don't wanna use the "Turned around and..." rule either, not right now at least.
