[Bailey]

Name: Varies
Title: Newb
Appearance: Brown hair, brown eyes, outfit varies but usually includes a black winter coat with green stripes
Weapons/Items: Varies, always includes a wristwatch which allows occasional communication with inactive personas
Special Abilities: A strange case of MPD resulting in the personality pool. In times of stress, the Newb may become one of his other selves. If he would die, instead that personality is locked and he becomes one of his other selves.

Personas:
1
Name: Ilgivan
Appearance: wears a blue buttondown, the black coat with green lines, a green messenger bag, and khaki carpenter pants, also wears black eargrips and large red boots made out of plastic which apparently snap into skis.
Weapons/Items: the messenger bag contains a variety of items such as matches, duct tape, swiss army knives, first aid kits, caltrops, alan wrench sets, books that he's going to get around to reading really really, swords, shields, pikes, halberds, Boeing 747s, bees, that hammer from donkey kong, the ring of a green lantern, those fusion earrings from DBZ, etc. If you ask him for something specific, he's going to be there a while, so he generally just reaches into his bag and grabs the first thing he can find, then comes up with a way to use it. A few things however, keep finding their way back into his bag no matter how hard he tries to get rid of them.
Special Abilities: He can actually carry that bag, and tends to get something that's useful. Except those earrings. accursed earrings! why do you plague me so!?

2
Name: Rizp
Appearance: in addition to the blue buttondown, wears blue pajama pants and large black galoshes
Weapons/Items: hands. feet.
Special Abilities: healing and shield magic. regenerates 1 mp per post, except when sustaining shield spells. healing costs 3 mp, shields cost 2 mp per person covered. 40 mp max.

3
Name: Uckufer
Appearance: wears no shirt, but does wear the black coat, as well as swim trunks and sandles which unfold to reveal flippers
Weapons/Items: A staff which, when a button is pressed, sprouts an iron spike at one end.
Special Abilities: can breathe underwater, can also absorb three times his weight in water and produce it at a later time under high pressure. Stored water does not add to his weight.



if any of the personas need tweaking, let me know.

[Krylo]

Name: Krylo.
Appearance: You've seen the picture thread, right? He looks like me. Just incase you haven't, though: http://photobucket.com/albums/v294/krylo/ 'Cept he wears a duster, which has holsters for his various bigger weapons. Duster being an extremely long coat, generally seen in westerns.
Weapons/Items:

Lead lined gloves: Adds a bit of extra punch to his punches. Again, nothing special... just like a pair of really comfy brass knuckles you never have to take off.

Steel toe boots: Like the gloves... but boots... and they work with kicks, not punches.

Dual Barrel Sawed Off 8-Gauge Shotgun: Like a 12 gauge, but far more illegal and far more powerful... especially with his over stuffed buck shot shells. He can't move while shooting, it only holds two shells (which are usually fired at the same time), and it'll throw him three feet backwards and land him on his ass if he tries to fire it without stancing first. Also, It's pretty useless outside of a hundred feet or so. The spread gets too wide and even if a shot hits you, it probably won't hurt much.

Dual .9mm Glock Semi-Autos: Nothing special... but they're faster and easier to handle than his bigger guns. The ammo is also cheaper.

.44 Caliber Remington Longbarrel Revolver: The hand cannon. He keeps it loaded with hollow point rounds, and with those a bullet to your shoulder from this gun means you just lost an arm, and the guy behind you is probably dead... and so are the next two guys behind him. It only holds six shots, and loading is time consuming, however. It also has enough kick to make rapidly firing off shots difficult, and moving while shooting nigh-impossible.

Grenades: Nothing special... just normal grenades.

Withering Blade: Once belonged to a shape-changing immortal demon--the blade is cursed so powerfully that, once cut, even an immortal may succumb to the horrible flesh decaying disease from as little as a scratch. Needless to say--its effects on mortals are even more severe.

Harpoon Gun: Nothing Special. He just decided to bring this along when he found out they'd be going deep sea diving. His other guns don't work in the water... and really, this one isn't so great in it either. Stupid water slowing harpoons down.

Special Abilities:

Immortality: He heals any wounds dealt to him in a matter of seconds. However, it still hurts like a mother fucker, and his clothes aren't gifted with the same ability. (On the one hand--over powered somewhat. On the other... do PCs ever actually even get hurt in these things?)

Gun-Fu: If death were an artist, he would be the Reaper's masterwork with his nine mils held gingerly in his hands.

Dirty Fighting: He knows the body's weak points and he attacks them brutally and without hesitation. There is no such thing as honor in a fight with him... he'll take those steel toed boots and kick you so hard in the balls that they'll comically pop out of your mouth like that illegal fight in the beginning of Hot Shots: Part Deux.

Swordsmanship: Ever since surviving the ordeal at the North Pole, he has been practicing his swordsmanship with the withering blade, so as to make himself actually useful with it. Thankfully, he was able to transfer some of his unarmed training over, and make learning much easier. He is quite adept with it at this point, although he still relies much more heavily on his gun-fu.

Sexy Mother Fucker: 'Nuff Said.

--
That may technically be considered three changes, but as that a harpoon gun is completely mundane, and I had the withering blade at the end of the last RP (didn't just grab it between them), I'm banking on it being ok.

[Bailey]

I may have to accidentally pull clothes eating moths out of my bag at some point and sic them on you Krylo, just so that you know beforehand.

[PyrosNine]

I suppose I'll list ma upgrades in a seperate post:

NEW Ability: Lore: Can speak in the olden tongue's curses and sayings, causing much devastation. Such as saying the accursed death curse, which when heard, causes the body to implode upon itself. Also knows tales about everything in the world of the gods. Like where Poseiden keeps his porn.

NEW Malady: HUNTED!
I dun left santa lying in a ditch, probably dead. Apparently there's some people who are bitching about it. And they've got knives. Pointy knives. Knives that burn with the power of justice!

[GARUD]

New Avatar, new RP. Wheeee

Name: Garud
Appearance: Muscular (but not overly), a scar over his right eye, brown hair, brown eyes. Wears a black leather cape, a white t-shirt, and tracksuit pants. Also has a necklace with an angel symbol on it. Now has a white cloak with a striped hood.
Weapon: Staff (wooden)
Special abilities:
Chaos shot- The target becomes faster, stronger and more powerful. But also gets a countdown. When that countdown ends, All the power is drained from the target, even whatever they had before it. (any recommendations as to how long the countdown should be?)
Haste- Temporarily boosts the speed of the target. They go through time twice as fast also.
Ice shot- A small ball of ice is shot. (it wont freeze a target, but it's like getting hit by hail)
Blasting zone- A beam attack with incredible range. Hits one enemy for massive damage. (upgraded from finisher. Can be used much more frequently)
Shadow magic- Uses the power of shadows to make weapons, items and energy. Only can make anti-living things as negative energy is used.
Ultima- Finisher, one time use, incredibly powerful.

The major changes are the finisher (which has improved, so it's easier to use), and a new set of spells (which includes a new finisher). Minor changes are that of appearance, whereas I had to because of New Avatar.

If anything need's changing, please let me know.

[Rhiya Ravenwing]

Garud: countdown could be 10 complete moves, if you like. (eg: 10 - roundhouse kick somebody, 9 - smash their head in with a mallet, 8 - grapple somebody else to the ground, 7... etc etc)

And the person would have to make the count as well.

Pyrosnine: Even the tale about Poseidon having the hots for Asheth?

((power of persuasion: You did NOT hear that from me!))

[GARUD]

Umm...by countdown, I meant a timer. For a certain period of time (about 2 minues or so, depends) the target becomes much stronger. It's more of a use against an enemy rather than friend, because of the after effects.

sorry, it was not clear.

....Well, Shit.
Well, I suppose it could be worse. Cthulu could have a crush on me!
Hm...I wonder though. Who told me this?
It's like I know who it is, but I feel all persuaded not to know!

IT"S EATING MY BRAIN! THE PERSUASION POWER IS TOO MUCH! :whee:

[Rhiya Ravenwing]

Make it 4 minutes, Garud. Most fights only last about a few minutes, so by the end of it, they can simmer down a bit.

Pyrosnine: Who the hell else would Raiden and Poseidon be talking about?!
