Aw, hell with it. Why not? Time to spend five RP threads talking trash and charging attacks!
Name: Robyn Vanillox Age: 17 Gender: Female Race: Human Career: Adventurer Appearance: 5' 4" with fiery red and well maintained short hair, sky blue eyes, and a dark skin tone with white tribal tattoos on the arms, legs, back, and around her navel. She wears a red breastplate with a single spaulder on her left shoulder, white cotton pants, black sandals, and black fingerless gloves. Special Abilities: Robyn lacks the ability to channel her ki directly from her body like energy projectiles, but is able to use it to affect her bow and arrows. By using the bow, Robyn can charge arrows to give them speed and penetrating power. She can even take most objects in the environment and transform them into arrows made of the same material by setting it up against the bowstring. When fired, any arrow flies straight, ignoring the forces of gravity. Equipment: A magical recurve bow that Robyn can channel her ki into and a nonmagical leather white quiver for holding her arrows. Biography: Born of the noble Vanillox Family, Robyn is currently on her Pilgrimage of Womanhood where she must learn to be an independant and strong woman who will continue the Vanillox Family's inexorable climb up the ladder of wealth, fame, and influence. She does this by going on adventures and generally helping people in trouble, all the while trying to learn what will either help the family or help her land this one guy she's crushing on. Not a greedy individual, Robyn's focus is to have fun, make friends, experience new lands, and help the helpless. Last edited by Astral Harmony; 08-12-2011 at 08:17 PM. |

Name: Dango
Age: 30 by his kind's standards. Who cares what that means in human years? Gender: Male Race:Raccoon (Shapeshifter) Appearance: A two-and-a-half-foot tall raccoon, who, like most sentient animals on this planet, walks upright on two legs and uses his front paws as hands. His eyes are perpetually narrowed into slits, giving him a somewhat conniving appearance. He wears a red t-shirt and a blue bandana around his neck. Career: Thief. Treasure hunter. Talking raccoon. Backstory:His family enrolled him in Shapeshifter Academy as a young kit, hoping he would use the knowledge to go out into the world and make his family proud as a great raccoon hero. Turns out, it's waaaaay more profitable to just use your powers to sneak into places and rob people blind. Funny how that works. In this line of work, however, he has wracked up a nice-sized list of people who hate his guts and would like to see him made into a fashionable hat. He's currently working on finding a new way to avoid such a fate. Abilities: Shapeshifting: He's pretty good at it, too. He can mimic people, animals, and simple objects, although anything more mechanically complicated than a car is iffy. He also has a habit of maintaining his squinty eyes in whatever form he takes. Raccoon-style martial arts:....okay so he made the name up himself. And okay, he doesn't actually know any martial arts. But seriously, with that ki-channeling-or-chi-channeling-or-whatever whatsit that everyone's learning these days, plain ol' shapeshifting really doesn't protect a guy the way it used to! ....so he has a slingshot and some exploding pellets. If nothing else, the smoke at least covers his escape. Shut up. It's hard to buy a gun when you can't even reach the countertop. Equipment: Slingshot and pellets: They explode. And hurt. Unless of course you're super-humanly strong, in which case they'd just be loud and annoying and smokey. But seriously, when is Dango ever going to have to go up against superhuman fighting enemies? Hahahaha! That's silly! Backpack: A small raccoon-sized backpack for storing small raccoon-sized slingshots and small raccoon-sized stolen goods.

Ah, but I wanted to use my Celestrian guy. His name was Girkin, he had no eyebrows, and he fought with a Kosha Spear.
Name: Kuu Ruhnings Age: 18 Gender: Male Race: Supposedly human, though it wouldn't surprise anyone if he had some extraterrestrial ancestry. Career: Previously a highwayman, but now he's trying to turn his life around. Somewhat. Appearance: Tall and gawky as all get out but still pretty muscle-y. He has grey hair cut into a wild mohawk, eyes that are always nearly shut, and a smile that is perpetually plastered on his face. Special Abilities: He is well versed in the martial arts, as well as pickpocketing, and is effin' surgeon with his hammer handrills. Kuu also has some weird powers, like the ability to heal injured people, accelerate himself and others to sonic speeds, and instantly teleport out of caves( it only works for caves for some reason). His signature moves are the Propeller Blade and the Can Opener. Also, he is rumored to have a secret move known only as the Bangkok Surprise Prize. Equipment: A hood modeled after a popular video game character, which he uses to hide his identity. Armor with a large heavy turtle shell attached to the back. His weapons, hammer handrills, are a keepsake from his dearly departed grandmother. And the Speedos... there's no good reason for him to be wearing those in place of pants. Biography: Kuu has been a thief for as far back as he can remember, always running through the slums of his hometown, on the look out for new targets. He showed a mastery of the larcenic arts far exceeding that of his older peers, who encouraged him to pack up and move to the city where he could make it big (and leave an open cot for them to sleep on). Heeding their advice, 7 year-old Kuu set out on a journey to West City, pilfering many a valuable item from unsuspecting travelers along the way. Eventually, he crossed paths with an odd old man wearing shades and large turtle shell on his back. Unable to pull a fast one on him, young Kuu resorted to assault and was promptly trounced. The old man then gave him stern talking to about why thievery is wrong, tossed Kuu his shell, and told him, "Maybe once you're strong enough to move around normally in this, you can fight me again. Now if you'll excuse me, it almost time for Women's Aerobics with Lula Lemon. Hehehehehe-HEH!" Inspired by the geezer's words, superb fighting ability and dirty mind, Kuu put all of his energy into training in the way of beating the living daylights out of people. He's also trying to go on the straight and narrow, but he still absentmindedly 'half-inches" money and things. He isn't too hung up about that though.

Yep, looks like we have the makings of a team of heroes, guys. I'm sure we'll be remembered for years to come. At least when one of us decides to write a book about it after the real heroes save the world.

I hope we never have to do any kind of adventure where we have to be difficult to notice. I mean, look at us. We can save the world a hundred times over, but all they'll say about us is how ridiculous we looked traveling together.

Name: Jake Jarozu
Age: 26 Gender: Male Race: Human Career: Professional Martial Artist, Occasional Traveler, Eternal Failure Appearance: Six feet tall, muscular, light brown hair buzzed down to near baldness, and bright blue eyes. When fighting, Jake usually wears a white muscle shirt, navy blue martial gi pants, black combat boots, and weighted white wristbands. His casual clothing involves wearing a navy blue jacket on top of everything else. Special Abilities: Jake has always had difficulty mastering any ki control more difficult than flying, and as such whenever he tries to create an energy blast it usually ends up exploding in his hand. Years of Jake is also a superb martial artist (perhaps the only thing he has truly succeeded at), and prides himself on his blend of speed and strength. Equipment: Nothing that hasn't already been mentioned Biography: Jake's father, Han, competed regularly in the World Tournament until he broke his arm during the semi-finals, insisted on continuing, and broke his leg in the finals. Not just a clean break either, his bones were shattered. With any hope of fighting again shattered (like the bones in his arm and leg), he decided to do the only logical thing: Have a son and live through him by forcing him to be a great martial artist. Jake spent most of his youth training under his father and various local martial artists. He competed every year in the Junior Division of the Tenkaichi Budokai, often making it to the semi-finals, and on one occasion to the final round. His father had never been more ashamed. Han Jarozu had raised a winner, not this failure. But Han was no quitter, and he refused to let Jake's inadequacy stop him from raising the greatest martial artist ever. Thus Jake began training to control his Ki. Three weeks later his training ended with Jake unable to create a simple ki blast without it exploding in his face. Han declared his son a complete failure and banished him from his home. He was fifteen at the time. Jake spent the following years of his life training, traveling between cities, and hunting down any and all Martial Art Masters he could find, hoping that one of them might help him overcome his crippling failure with Ki control. He would also make a point to compete in the Tenkaichi Budokai every year, though he has yet to win and prove himself to his father. Last edited by Arcanum; 08-13-2011 at 01:15 PM. |
