Yeah the temp was pretty good, from what I remember from my skim (busy past couple of days) I could actually see an argument for the character's history though, like the Particle Accelerator opened up a hole for her character to appear from. Of course, that's up to Roxie whether or not she'd want that to happen since it's her RP and the setting is for her to decide. Unfortunately, there's not much we can do about the skillset since it would be redundant to have two very similar magic users with this small cast. Like I said though, from what I read the temp was cool beans! Looking forward to the second character.Your template looks good, however we already have a magician here and that's CD's character, Kyle Circe. Plus, this sort of based on all of the DC shows on the CW Network and I don't recall having Dragon Age in this universe.
I'll have to ask you to change it at least to keep it simple. The list that I provided pretty much has everything beside magic and there are tons to look through.
I promise, I'm not being mean; just I got to be sure this is all balanced out. I'm sure you would have done the same thing, were it the another way around. And if you want, you can wait until some one comes along to give you some tips on how it all works.
By the way, read the premise again; key word: Particles. That's the stuff that makes us into something else.
^ I second this.
It'd be pretty redundant to have the same magic users in this role-play. Yes I know this has Sci-Fi themes, but I'm limiting it to a certain point and others has asked me about using mythology stuff for their own characters, like Kyle Circe has with the Shines (CD, is this right? Lol).
CD, how's the template for Ellis? And you can post, you know?
For the most part it's just code names, other than that one character where you're a little unsure about him. Or at least that's the case for me, the other things happens to be abilities that work with the characters that also just conveniently works with the three mythological creature/person they're loosely based around *ie: enhanced physical abilities for the character that is in the military and happens to have a connection to Ares in his origin story*
Okay, fair point you got there, Skitty.
And yeah, it's just code names at this point.
Okay, and I'm sorry about not explaining to you before now.
Finally got around to posting. I'll try and get the second temp I promised up today as well. I hope you don't mind I used this post as a Summer Writing Challenge. (24 Hours)
Spoiler ShowName: Tyler Nightshade
Nickname: Ty
Code Name: Hades
Miracle/Average Citizen/Meta Human Criminal: Seems to toe the line between Miracle and a Meta Human Criminal.
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Personality: Tyler can be a little strange, but it’s more of the fact he can go from being quiet to being incredibly hyper at the drop of a hat. He is incredibly polite, and he’s extremely knowledgeable about anything related to mythology. Socially awkward to almost a fault, Tyler can be rather adorable when it comes to talking to others; especially girls since he can’t seem to get the words out that he wants to say. He is highly intelligent, but at times it doesn’t quite seem like it since he can have his naïve moments; something that Penny finds to be completely adorable.
Soft spoken, he isn’t exactly the leader type, but that doesn’t mean he’s a pushover. He does put up with a lot of stupid stuff from his friends, although he will draw the line so it almost seems like he doesn’t have an opinion. Observant, Tyler doesn’t miss much of what’s going on around him; and he does quite the impressive job of hiding his guilt over what happened when he was around ten. Although, that doesn’t mean he’ll let it drag him down so it compromises his friends’ safety. He is fiercely protective over those that he cares about, to the point where he can do some incredibly stupid things if they’re in danger and it can immediately send him into a rage if they’re in an extremely dangerous situation. He's also pretty introverted, especially when you compare him to Jack and Snow.
Appearance: Tyler has tanned skin, dark brown almost black hair, that's slightly messy, and dark grey eyes. He is lean in terms of build, and he is “tallâ€; standing at the height of six foot even. His lean build lends itself to him being fast on his feet, but not what someone would call a heavy hitter. He wears a light black shirt that is baggy on him, through no fault of his own; there is the symbol of the Cherokee tribe he’s from imprinted on the front; and on the back there is a Grecian symbol on it. Stone washed jeans rest on his hips; and there's a chain belt looped through the belt loops. Tyler’s shoes are a basic pair of black combat boots, which have been scuffed up from years of wear. Tyler wears a thin leather strap that has his parents’ wedding rings on it in memory of them. He does have gold stud earrings in his ears, which he got on his sister’s sixteenth birthday after a game of truth-or-dare.
Costume: Tyler’s costume as an anti-hero is similar to what he wears as a civilian, the pants have a stone washed appearance to them, and they still rest on his hips but instead of a blue color it’s been “washed out†so it’s caught somewhere between blue-white-black, shifting depending on the lightning cast on it. His shirt fits a lot closer, showing that while still healthy, Tyler’s thinner than he probably should be. This time around the shirt color is a dark blue, almost like a sapphire, and while his pride in his heritage is still visible if you’re looking for it, it’s been made smaller and moved to his left shoulder, the symbols combining into one. There are fingerless gloves that he wears, and he has a thick band around his right wrist and another one on his upper left arm; this is in place to protect him from the string of the bow that he uses in combat. He dons a small mask that is worn over his eyes, helping to conceal his identity, and it’s a dark blue-black color; but beyond that, like was said before, his costume is very similar to what he wears as a civilian.
Bio: Tyler started out as a normal kid, he had parents and a younger sister. He was a pretty good student, straight Bs-As and he didn’t have to work hard for them. Unfortunately this led to him being bullied enough, that on top of his poor health, Tyler wasn’t interested in going to school and he definitely wasn’t interested in sports. Withdrawing from school after a practically nasty incident, Tyler kept in touch with the small group of friends that he had made. It was only when his two friends, Jack and Snow, both of whom were more athletic than him; begged him and even dragged him to the soccer game that he had been to a sports event. Even then, the only reason he went was because Penny wanted him to, plus he was promised a trip to the local bookstore.
Although what happened there would lead to him being seriously turned off by them. At first, it was pretty enjoyable, even if he didn’t quite understand what was going on. Talking to Jack and Snow, he noticed that Rika, Penny, Hazel and Shauna were there too. Feeling happy that the entire group of personal friends (Or as the teacher liked calling them: Trouble Making Seven) were there, Tyler really wound up enjoying the game. Sneaking away for a bit postgame, Tyler didn’t expect Penny to pull him to the side and sneak a quick but awkward kiss, granted it was on the cheek, but it still was enjoyable.
Heading home with his parents and Mia, no one had expected the house to have someone in it when they got home. No also expected that intruder to be armed let alone for the intruder to pull out the weapon. Next thing Tyler knew his parents were dead, and Mia was wailing due to fear. Not to mention that intruder was gone. Racing over to her side after his brain caught up to him, Tyler did everything he could to calm his sister down. He absently answered the cops questions when they asked him what happened. Having informed him that his neighbors had called them when they heard gunshots. Even though he didn't say it, Tyler felt a wave a guilt barrel into him, if he hadn't gotten distracted then maybe they wouldn't have gotten home while the robber had been in the house. Maybe his parents wouldn't be dead.
Moving in with his grandparents, he helped out in raising Mia, doing his best to push aside his guilt as much as he could; not like that was really working. To help with the distraction, Tyler re-enrolled in school, despite the dangers, and threw himself into his studies; keeping in touch with his friends as well. Tyler watched as the years rolled by until he reached seventeen, when he got a pit bull puppy that he decided to call Cerberus. The puppy helped to lift his spirits, only for him to slip back into his old habits of studying, talking when needed and hanging out with his family and friends.
Two years later, Tyler has learned something he doesn’t like, but that isn’t too important in his opinion. And while he’s sure it’ll lead to trouble, he’s heading off to a party just because Snow and Jack are begging him to go to and have fun. Besides the party is about a book series he likes, so surely it won't be too bad...
Right?
Other: Tyler has a bit of trouble keeping his hemoglobin levels up, which is brilliant because he’s noticed some of his techniques require his blood to use them. Also, because of what he can do, Tyler’s health and physical stamina isn’t in the greatest of shape.

Theme Song: What I’ve Done by Linkin Park
Spoiler ShowIn this farewell
There’s no blood
There’s no alibi
‘Cause I’ve drawn regret
From the truth
Of a thousand lies
So let mercy come
And wash away
What I’ve done
I'll face myself
To cross out what I’ve become
Erase myself
And let go of what I’ve done
Put to rest
What you thought of me
While I clean this slate
With the hands of uncertainty
So let mercy come
And wash away
What I’ve done
I'll face myself
To cross out what I’ve become
Erase myself
And let go of what I’ve done
For what I’ve done
I start again
And whatever pain may come
Today this ends
I’m forgiving what I’ve done!
I'll face myself
To cross out what I’ve become
Erase myself
And let go of what I’ve done
What I’ve done
Forgiving what I’ve done

Power: Necromancy (Sub: Death Sense) *secondary* and Earth Manipulation *primary*
Spoiler ShowNecromancy: Tyler is capable of summoning and controlling the dead, he can use quite a few abilities under this power, and one that ties into his second, or subcategory power Death Sense.
Resurrection: Tyler can call back the soul of someone who has died, reviving them for as long as he is able to maintain focus on them. With the resurrected corpse under his control, Tyler can either use it for recon, attacking his enemies or defending himself and his allies. He can call up multiple souls and bodies if he wishes, but since it consume a lot of energy, he prefers to keep it to just one resurrected corpse at a time.
Death’s Army: A bit more of a powerful version of Resurrection, Tyler calls up an army of undead soldiers. He can then proceed to use them to attack his enemies, or use them to give his allies backup when needed. Although, unlike Resurrection where he gets tired, Death’s Army takes so much energy that Tyler can’t do anything for several days afterwards because of how exhausted he is and it actually makes him sick. Because of the powerful drawbacks, Tyler prefers to use it only when he and his friends have been backed into a corner. *doesn't get these related abilities until he's gotten some massive training*
Spoiler ShowDeath Sense: A bit of a subcategory for his Necromancy, but Tyler has the ability to sense those that are either dead or they are on the verge of dying. So he can basically tell where death has had or will have a major influence on events.
Death’s Recon: Even though he doesn’t like it, Tyler can call up souls to send into a location to “retrieve†information for him. It can’t be used too often without it starting to take a major toll on Tyler, and even then it’s not like the souls can physically bring back anything, all they can bring back is what information they can gather through sight and sound. But again, because it requires disturbing the dead, Tyler prefers not to use this technique.
Death’s Song: Tyler will sometimes get a song in his head when someone’s about to die, it’s not always the case. But when this does happen, if Tyler’s able to figure out who it is, he’ll try to either prevent it, or help the family gain closure from the event. *for those that have seen it, please think of Early Edition*
Spoiler ShowEarth Manipulation: Tyler can manipulate the earth to his will, giving him an extra edge. It also happens to be his strongest power at the current moment in time, and it is also the one that he’s not as skittish about using since it doesn’t have an major nasty side effects.
Enhanced Healing: As long as Tyler has some sort of contact with the ground, Tyler has an increased rate of healing. This can backfire though, if Tyler's in a heavily polluted area, the contact with the earth can actually make Tyler sick.
Enhanced Stamina: Much like his enhanced healing ability, as long as Tyler’s in contact with the earth, he gets an increase in stamina.
Earthquake: By focusing his magic into the ground, Tyler can cause a tremor to spread out around him for a small radius. While strong enough to knock his opponents off balance, and maybe even knock them down; Tyler’s not as skilled with causing earthquakes as his friend Snow.
Gaia’s Wrath: Again, by focusing his magic into the ground, Tyler can call up a female humanoid form from the earth to fight for him. When he does this, it serves as both offense and defense; but Tyler is rooted to the spot, making him a fairly easy target if someone’s able to get close enough. If someone was to hit him hard enough, the summoned creature will disappear back into the earth and Tyler’s rendered exhausted. He also has to use of his blood to call the creature from the earth as payment for its services.
Weapon: Even though Tyler prefers to keep his distance and attack his enemies from afar with his arrows he shoots from his bow, his friends have made sure that he is efficient enough using a staff that has two prongs at the top and hand to hand combat for when he is forced into close quarters combat; otherwise Tyler prefers archery in combat.
Spoiler ShowName: Adam Jiang
Code Name: Ares, after all his military family and friends joke about him being a "One Man Army".
Miracle/Average Citizen/Meta Human Criminal: Miracle, that’s with the military…for now.
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Personality: Passionate, insightful, stubborn and maybe a little reckless, Adam can be called old fashioned with his treatment toward girls. He tries to be a gentleman, and he’d prefer if they didn’t participate in any fighting, but he knows that it’s not going to happen. So, if a girl wants to, he’ll stand back and let them do what they want. He can be pretty foul-tempered when he gets worked up about something, and it shows with his mouth. Disciplined because of his time in the military, Adam is capable of taking orders from people that he doesn’t like, but that doesn’t mean that he won’t subtly flip you the bird when you’re not looking. He’s all for a good fight, but he’ll rarely start it; instead he’ll let someone else start the fight so he can claim self-defense if the authorities happen to get involved.
What few realize, because Adam doesn’t like showing it, is his empathetic side. Adam is insightful, being able to pick up on how the people around him are feeling as if it was his own emotions. When someone gets to know Adam, they find out that while still passionate, he’s a lot calmer than what his initial interaction may lead one to believe. He is loyal to a crazy fault, willing to put himself in danger to protect those that he cares about; and even strangers, this trait has led to Adam getting into more than one fight. Fiercely protective of his friends, Adam is quick to anger if someone was to target them. He is also feeling pretty conflicted at the moment, between his duty to the military and his duty as a Miracle; but until he knows for sure which option is best; Adam can’t really make a move.
Appearance: 5’9â€. Adam has just enough of a muscular build to let people know to not mess with him, and at the same time he’s also fast on his feet, making Adam one that you don’t really want to mess with. Adam has soft, light black hair that falls to the nape of his neck and pale brown eyes, the eyes seem to have this weird tough-softness to them; hinting at Adam’s conflicted nature. Very light peach skin tone, Adam is toned in build. He seems to be caught in terms of beauty, he’s got a roughness to him but there are glimpses of the handsomeness he could have if he’d just chill out. Almost like finding a diamond in the rough, and the diamond is ragged in its formation. Meanwhile there are several scars that go up and down Adam’s back, including his stomach and up the back of his neck. There’s a couple that runs along his arms too, but these ones are thin and long, until it’s gotten to the wrists where there are some that are clearly jagged. The nastiest of them being on the right arm, the majority of which seems to be from the fights he got into as a kid.
He tries to hide the scars though with a long sleeved dark shirt and distressed black jeans, three chains hang on his right hip. Adam has a pair of combat boots that he likes wearing. A silver ear cuff rests on the top of his right ear, while there’s a black brace that he wears on his right wrist on occasion; due to a childhood injury. There’s a pouch that he keeps on the left side of his body about midway down his upper leg, and a silver and red watch that circles around his left wrist. This of course is when he’s not in his military get up, in which case it’s the standard uniform for someone of his rank. The last thing is that he has a tattoo along his back of an eastern dragon, with its head angled toward the left shoulder shooting a breath of fire; beneath the fire the words “Never Again†are scrawled. The meaning behind the two words are something that only Adam knows, and he doesn’t plan on sharing it anytime soon. Also, Adam will wear a ruby colored labret practically 24/7 just because he knows there's some of his fellow soldiers that dislike.
Bio: Adam really dislikes his childhood. Sure there were good parts, just like with every kid; but growing up in the system? It sucks. Adam was put into the foster system when he was barely three, after his parents died in a car crash, afterwards Adam bounced from one foster family to another; only to be eventually be shipped back to the orphanage. Adam was never able to grasp why that was the case, just that it was. It seemed as if his only constants in his life was the inevitable trip back to the orphanage and Ellis Wells, who seemed to play guardian for Adam. Not that he cared...because he didn't.
Really.
Fine, maybe he did care about that constant with Ellis.
Unfortunately, because of the constant back and forth on families, not to mention his abilities to know exactly how someone was feeling, Adam started to pick fights with the other boys at the orphanage. He'd get in trouble, which led to Ellis needing to bail him out of trouble again. And then like always, he'd get scolded for being so aggressive. Finding a way to deal with the pain wasn't necessarily easy, and it didn't help when after being with one family for a while and making a friend, Adam lost both of them and got shipped straight back to the orphanage. It was only after that Adam was able to find a distraction; and it was the handling of weaponry. It's not that he wanted to hurt anyone, he just wanted to learn about weapons so he could show them the proper respect.
This psychological pattern continued until Adam was eighteen, at which point he was kicked out of the orphanage and he joined the military. After all, it's not like he wasn't used to a strict regiment of rules, and it was this fact that helped Adam adjust to life quicker than with some of the other new recruits. Being put underneath General Wells care, Adam felt a bit of happiness at the idea because it meant that at least he wouldn't be rejected and sent home again. He even felt a little surprised when he saw that old friend of his enlisted too. Torn between relief that he was okay and bitterness, Adam decided he'd go out of his way to avoid that person for as long as he could. And if he was forced to talk to the traitor? Fine, so be it, doesn't mean he'd have to be friendly.
Well, apparently fate wasn't done dealing Adam a go "screw yourself" hand. As he finds out during a day of training when an incident happens that'll lead Adam into a situation he really doesn't want to be in.
Other: On top of what powers he’s gotten as a Miracle, Adam was an empath; so he can feel the emotions and energies of those around him, which is something he tries to hide behind a foul temper. Also because of growing up in a foster system and being forced into doing what he is, Adam has a tendency of keeping people at arm's length; even if he wants nothing more than to open up and trust them.

Power:
Combat Enhancement: Put it simply, Adam has enhanced physical attributes. His speed, strength, stamina and endurance has increased to a superhuman level, or almost to that point. He can take on a lot more punishment than one of the normal soldiers can, but he does try to hide it by acting the way he used to be before the explosion. Adam at times has trouble controlling his enhanced strength, so because of that he only works out (or fully) when he's by himself in case he happens to lose control and say, crash into a wall or destroy a punching bag, to try and keep it hidden from his fellow soldiers. This enhanced physical ability extends to his combat abilities, when he really gets into a fight, it's hard to hurt him because he'll just let his powers run wild.
Weapon Proficiency Also it seems as if between his enhanced combat abilities and his military training, it seems like Adam's got a keen insight on how weapons work. Just give him a few minutes with it to practice, and then it's hard to tell that Adam had never wielded the weapon before that moment. His favorite type of weapon though seems to be anything old fashioned or what someone wouldn't think of to use in the present day, like spears. *it also probably helps that Adam's always been curious on how a weapon works since he was a child, if more of so he knows how to use it responsibly and out of respect for the weapon*
Weapon: While Adam's skilled with pretty much any weapon he gets his hands on, his go to weapon is either a spear or his fists, since he's more of a traditional fighter. He does keep some knives in the pouch on his upper left leg, for when he needs to engage in a knife fight. He also keeps a handgun holstered hidden in his right pant leg, just a little bit above his ankle. Again, the handgun is only used if it's absolutely necessary, otherwise he prefers to stick to an older, more traditional fighting style.
Spoiler ShowName: James Bardán
Code Name: Hermes
Miracle/Average Citizen/Meta Human Criminal: Miracle
Age: 12
Gender: Male
Personality: Restless as a little puppy. James is hyper and extremely curious, always asking questions that sometimes steps into territory that he really shouldn’t cross. Chatty and upbeat, he’ll do anything he can to help lighten the mood; although at times that isn’t exactly the best of ideas. Devoted to his older sister, he’ll quickly jump to her defense if he deems it necessary, even if it’s not quite needed. Lovable, he’s willing to give anyone the benefit of the doubt until someone betrays his trust one too many times. He notices a lot more than what people give him credit for, but that doesn't mean that he doesn't miss things on occasion. A bit of a klutz, James will just laugh it off after he falls to make it seem like it's no big deal. He can be moody on occasion, but he's quick to bounce back from it. He has a love for shiny things, so he can get easily distracted by it; so he does need some mind on that. It seems like there might be something else with him, but it's not known for sure.
Appearance: James is similar to many boys his age. He stands at a height of 4’8â€, and he’s a bit lanky; not that it bothers him, instead he uses it to his advantage. Light blonde hair, James has fair skin and aquamarine eyes that burn with a strong fire. He wears a light blue t-shirt, the collar of it being black, beneath a brown bomber jacket that has white around the collar and bottom of the coat. Underneath the t-shirt, there's a lightweight white body armor that he wears. His jeans are a dark blue color, and he wears a silver chain on his right hip. His shoes are a dark blue and white tennis shoes.
Costume: He wears metal arm bracers that have brown leather on the bottom, he wears a dark grey shirt, the sleeves extending to his elbows with a diamond-like cutout. Over his shirt he wears a white cloak, the head of it having the illusion of a bird beak that fits with the lower part of it being split into two, making it look like a tail. He wears a red sash around his waist underneath a brown band that has a pouch for him to stash his throwing knives in. Across his back is a brown leather sheath for his dagger, granting him quick access to it. From the waist down, it’s black pants for the bottom and they slip down into brown leather mid-calf boots. He wears two blueish-grey beads in his face on the right side of his face.
*a certain someone was playing Assassin's Creed around James too much so he based his costume around it* (also this is done to help you get an idea of the appearance of his costume)
Bio: [To Be Edited] *I need to talk to Dream about this*
Other: Probably because he's young, but James seems to have a fairly easy time picking up different languages. He also has a strong attraction to shiny things; so he'll do whatever he has to get his hands on it so he can investigate it. Rarely does James take such a liking to the shiny object that he'll keep it. Also, in comparison between him, Cyrus and Juliet, James is the fastest of them; partially due to his small size. Also when James gets stressed enough, he'll run and hide behind his sister with the hood for his shirt flipped up over his face; going by the whole philosophy that "if he can't see you, then you can't see him." Also, if he lands in trouble with Juliet or Cyrus, or if it's a tense situation, James will randomly blurt out "bubbles" to try and diffuse the situation in reference to an inside joke between him, his sister and Cyrus.
Voice Actor: Aaron Dismuke *Alphonse Elric (0:35-2:10)* I think the last piece with Al in his human form is his other voice actor, but the part with him in the desert and talking to Rose is what I’ve got in my head.

Battle Theme: Fly on the Wall by Thousand Foot Krutch
Spoiler ShowThe other night
I had a dream
There was a world full of kings and queens
But it was cold
Dark as the night
We were the fire on the moonlit skies
We weren't divided
We were the same
And we were free
But we all wore chains
We couldn't see it
But we created
A place between truth and overrated
If I could just see it all
Just like a fly on the wall
Would I be able to accept what I can't control?
And would I share what I saw?
Or just sit back and ignore
Like nothing never happened,
I haven't seen you before?
I'm on the run from a thief
I let into my head
I know, I hold the keys, so don't be scared
When I turn and shout:
I don't think I need you anymore
Take your words, and your lies and just beat it!
I don't think I need you anymore
Take the hurt and the pain, I don't need it!
I wanna live, I wanna be the change
We can all be kings and queens
If we can just learn to believe
If we can just learn to believe
We had a plan to build a wall
A great divide that would never fall
To separate us
From all the pain
And keep our skeletons locked away
And brick by brick
We built it so thick
That it blacked out the sky and all the sunlight
And one by one
We all became numb
We were making the bullets to a broken gun
If I could just see it all
Just like a fly on the wall
Would I be able to accept what I can't control?
And would I share what I saw?
Or just sit back and ignore
Like nothing never happened
And I haven't seen you before?
I'm on the run from a thief
I let into my head
I know, I hold the keys, so don't be scared
When I turn and shout:
I don't think I need you anymore
Take your words, and your lies and just beat it!
I don't think I need you anymore
Take the hurt and the pain, I don't need it
I wanna live, I wanna be the change
We can all be kings and queens
If we can just learn to believe
If we can just learn to believe
I don't think I need you anymore
Take your words, and your lies and just beat it!
I don't think I need you anymore
Take the hurt and the pain, I don't need it!
I wanna live, I wanna be the change
We can all be kings and queens
If we can just learn to believe
If we can just learn to believe...
Power: James is able to control the wind, the problem though is that it is controlled by his emotions; so with him still being young sometimes James loses control of his emotions thus causing him to create some unintentional damage with his wind magic. Something James has noticed though, depending on how he manipulates it, the wind can make him move faster and he does have minor flight and levitation abilities; but he has to really focus in order to fly. For the most part he just uses his ability to pull harmless pranks on his friends, but that could be because of the fact he's just a child.
Weapon: James is the tiniest bit of a knife nut, give him a dagger and he'll take advantage of his small size to lay on some serious hurt. Also he'll use hand to hand combat when necessary, but James prefers to use a dagger. He's also pretty skilled when it comes to archery too; but that's because of his older sister Juliet.
Sorry about being gone and not replying to anything for so freaking long; between school and actually being kinda sick, I haven't had the time or energy for any kind of real writing this summer. I've got an idea I want to sock to you Roxie, and then I'm going to see about getting some temps up in the next couple of days. I've still got a long haul on homework tonight; I've got a quiz tomorrow that snuck up on me that I still need to study for, as well as a quick little paper for the same class. I'm just letting you know that I'm still interested in the RP. Night!
Spoiler Show, but his eyes are a sky blue color.
Noice. I'll try and get a post up tomorrow and finally get that other temp up as well. Btw Roxie, do you want my post to end as the the train ride ends or make room for more dialogue? Cuz I can do either one.
Spoiler Show
Name: Ellis Wells
Code Name: The General
Miracle/Average Citizen/Meta Human Criminal: Human
Age: 43
Gender: Male
Personality: Commanding, calculating, and dominating. Yet caring, understanding, and passionate. This incarnation of the general is anything but two dimensional. In his career he's been a natural leader and as a result, he knows full-well what it means to do what it takes to get the job done. He's very much aware that there are always times when one needs to make a choice, whether it's the popular option or not. However he also realizes the importance of those under him, and makes sure to treat his men fairly and equally. He's earned quite the reputation among the ranks and you'd be in good hands if you have him watching your back. In sharp contrast, facing the barrel of his Beretta M9 is a grave mistake. Indeed, he has no intentions of giving any foes—be them foreign or domestic—an easy escape.
Appearance: A tall gentleman, General Wells is highly respected whenever he marches into the locale. His blonde hair has begun to grey out, and it isn't difficult to see his age. His brown eyes have obvious wrinkles under them, as does the edges of his lips, showcasing his countless smiles in the past. Despite this, he maintains a firm physique and still boasts a proud set of muscles that would put a twenty year old to shame regardless of the fact he rarely sees any field work. He displays his rank along his Class A Army Service Uniform which consists of a black blazer adorned with golden buttons and shoulders, along with the various badges he's earned throughout the years. A pearl white dress shirt breaks the monotony between his blazer and the midnight tie he sports. The General's navy slacks are plain and straight, resting atop his shining plain-toe black dress shoes. Finally, his service cap is always at hand with its rim spiraled with a golden band, along with a matching medal embroiled just above it. Towering. Decorated. The ray of light to friends, and destructive lightning bolt to foes. He is The General.
Bio:
Other:
Weapon: Ellis Wells openly carries a standard issue Beretta M9 pistol sidearm. It is strapped securely against his waist with the safety on, as per regulations. Naturally, he has access to a small portion of the US Army to do his bidding, though for the rare occasions he is needed on the field he also favors the FN FAL Light Automatic Rifle despite its lack of usage on US soil. “The Right Arm of The Free World,†as it has been called, has been his go-to primary, though he is more than familiar with other rifles. If The General can wield the FAL as if it were second nature, then the sleek and black M16 semiautomatic rifle is easily third nature. For close quarters, he has been trained in hand-to-hand combat, limited swordplay, and knife wielding. Whether it's from a distance or up close, General Ellis Wells has an answer for every situation.
