Project Alpha; The Re-Run

They could interconnect and move to form high-density armor, mobile tendrils, spikes, and of course the fluid state they were found in.

Toru's idea seems legit.

Have fun~

Just a quick note: before DS left for the evening, we talked of the possibility of weapons, considering our characters will have had to be trained to fight without their abilities instead of relying on just their powers - it also gives us a lot more freedom. I'm going t be putting in a Weapon section into the bio to see how it goes.

Name: Alistair 'Vinnie' Hughes
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Height: 6''0
Weight: 182 pounds
Hair: Short, slightly wavy.
Eyes: Blue, whites of the eyes slightly grey due to the nanomachines taking over his cardiovascular system.
Weapons: Scar-H STD Assault Rifle equipped with a FN40GL-H Grenade Launcher Attachment. Alistair also carries a SWAT Folding Knife as a side arm for when his abilities need to be concealed.
Clothes/Armour: Wears a tight black jacket with several zipped pockets. Underneath that, a camouflage long sleeved shirt, and grey cloth pants. He wears durable shoes to provide grip and agility. Alistair's nanobots can dissipate out of his body to form hexagonal shields which can vary in side and tessellate to protect him.
Disability: Cannot feel pain due to problems with his nervous system, making him very unaware of how much damage he's taken - can lead to him suddenly collapsing during combat.
Personality: A teen who used to be very charismatic and outgoing is now a dark, almost cruel youth who will take the time to list the positives of a situation every now and then.
Abilities: Has a nanobot system which has taken over his cardiovascular system - Although stressful on him, he can make the capillaries in his body extend out of his skin to form thin metal tubes, rolled up so thinly they form spears which can be used to slash, swipe, and even drain the blood of others.
History: Originally living a happy life in a town in England, Alistair went out a lot with his friends and family. Until his family was slaughtered by a mysterious gang. Alistair was then forced to kill 5 of his closest friends, or loose his own life. The gang saw his skill at killing his friends, and tried to get him to join, ignoring the trauma which was slowly corrupting him. That is until the group studying the mysterious nanomachines intervened.
Family: Will not open up to anyone regarding the subject.
Love Relations?: As silent about the topic as the previous.

Name: Derek Alexton
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Height: 150cm
Weight: 60kg
Hair: Rusty Black
Eyes: Green, although they glow purple thanks to Project Alpha
Clothes/Armour: Dark Green t-shirt, khaki shorts, and sandals. Also wears a fragmented medallion, which is the only link to his heritage. Armour is purple, to match his canister colour, and (beyond this is tentative, need to modify later) shaped to model off of Iron Man or War Machine.
Weapons: I'm going to see if I can get away without them. His fail coordination (see below) would just make him unpopular with a gun.
Disability: Distorted Eye-Coordination, causing him to misjudge most distances, especially at close-range.
Personality: Headstrong and Rebellious, also rather naive
Abilities: Aerokinesis. The wind bends to his will. He can do things as simple as changing the wind, or something more physical like knocking down opponents with a short and powerful gust. Due to the little effort he puts into controlling his powers however, it is estimated that he could have the power to cause a tornado if he tried hard enough.
History: Derek was born into a wealthy political family in Ohio. His father had a rags-to-riches life. Turning from the weakling son of an underpaid janitor to a powerful businessman, through his shrewd money skills and many risks that paid off. His wife is currently a Senator for Ohio, and has served many terms as a representative before that. Derek however, didn't appreciate the pampered and protective life he was born into. Everyday was him being monitored every step of the way, to make sure he was safe. Derek felt helpless, like he was nothing more than an expensive vase that the very wind could tip over and break. Feeling himself as a waste of space in his own home, he eventually ran away, intent on cutting his ties to his family. It was then when the recruiters found him, already nabbed for hitchhiking, and saw uncanny potential for the program. What's more, he was more than willing.
Family:
Father: Businessman, sponsors military development and, indirectly, Project Alpha.
Mother: US Senator, an active political figure who made numerous enemies in her attempts to change America for the better.
Love Relations: Never even had the chance

I think you can take me off of the reserved list. I have too many RPs going on as it is. Hope you're not too disappointed.

Of course it's a shame, but I definitly respect your choice, Dwayna. I wouldn't want to put any extra stress on you.

Name: Sophie Martin

Age: 16

Gender: Female

Height: 177 CM / 5'10.

Weight: 63 KG.

Hair: Slightly reddish chestnut.

Eyes: A greyish emerald.

Clothes/Armour: She usually dresses in whatever becomes available to her, because she lives on the street. Her most recent outfit were jeans- Raffled at the ends-, a blueish T-shirt, purple cotton jacket, black fingerless gloves, her sunglasses, worn sneakers and an old black backpack containing what little possessions she has managed to hold on to.

Her armour is a deep scarlet in colour, and loosely based on the suit that she saw on one of the TV's in a shop window once, which was running a sci-fi show called The Phantom.

Weapons: She has adapted to dual-wielding two semi-automatic Mini Uzi's, 9MM Parabellum with a magazine capacity of 32. For melee purposes she carries a Camillus 18533 Cuda folding knife, and she wears a set of five fragmentation grenades on her belt, whom she utilizes with skill using her kinetic ability.

Disability: High sensitivity to any kind of light due to faulty genes that make her optic nerves hypersensitive. She continually wears shades of a very dark hue that allow her to function at somewhat normal capability, although it still slightly limits her sight. Her disability makes her vulnerable to flashbangs and spotlights.

Personality: Due to experience with life on the street and an otherwise rough past, she is somewhat anti-social and at first doesn't particularly trust anyone but herself. This, however, is more of a defense mechanism then a representation of her actual personality. She is very driven and ambitious, and usually quite stubborn as a result.

Abilities: Aside from a natural affinity for parkour and acrobatic skills, her kinetic abilities granted by the use of the perpetual batteries and accompanying nanobots mostly involve the use of gyrokinesis; the ability to alter gravity. She can throw, punch or kick grown men- Or pin them to the ground- without much difficulty. However, once the objects utilized exceed more then a couple of hundred kilograms it really starts wearing her down.

She can also use her kinetic abilities to make herself lighter or heavier, launch herself or others up or even suspend herself, others and object in mid-air, but only for a short while. As mentioned before, she also uses it to increase the potential damage done by grenades by throwing them further and/or more accurately.

History: She was the only child of a French couple, but her Dad was married and having an affair- She was illegitimate. Seeing as her Dad was a widely respected businessman and did not want the affair to become public and destroy his reputation, he sent his pregnant girlfriend off to an apartment in Las Vegas, hoping she would be able to raise her daughter in peace there without him ever having to hear back from them.

While devastated over having to leave her country and family behind, Sophie's mother managed to keep her spirits up for the first eleven or so years, although she did show something of a regression. She ended up abusing alcohol and various drugs, until one night she blacked out under heavy influence of both and never woke up again.

With no family or friends around to take care of her, the government attempted to get her into the foster care circuit, but after a nasty encounter with a particularly strict foster family the young and severely depressed Sophie ran away and has been spending her days in the streets and alleyways of Las Vegas, Nevada, doing odd jobs now and then but also scavenging and occasionally stealing to sustain herself.

She has been continuously on the run from the foster care authorities, only having been caught once- After which she just ran away again. She has recently developed alcohol issues.

Family: None close, but her Dad is still in France.

Love Relations: None currently.

hey gais i've talked with Jesper and i'm totally in this <3

Name: Bethany Henry (prefers being called Anni, carers call her Beth)

Age: 17

Gender: female

Height: 5'6"

Weight: uhh

Hair: White, Anni is albino.

Eyes: A dull pink before coming in contact with the nanobots, however the bots install a yellowy-orange tinge in her eyes, matching the colour of her canister.

Clothes/Armour: When not in her work uniform of a waitress' dress and apron, Anni usually wears an orange and white gingham blouse with the top few buttons unbuttoned, dusty-brown skinny jeans, grey hoodie and orange Vans.

As her kinetic power (see Ability)  limits the kind of armour she can permanantly wear, she tends to opt for loose, light armour - as well as a specially made stretching bullet-proof vest, durable shin and arm guards and tough, laced, knuckled gloves. Her baggy suit is a cold grey and her specially tailored armour is yellow.

Disability: Anni has a major emotional defect in her brain which she inherited from her mother, who had the same problem. Anni fails to really understand structured relationships; she has connection and attachment issues, and she fails to experience simple, natural human emotions such as pity, jealousy, sorrow, immense joy or true care for her actions. The name of Anni's disorder in particular or its severity has never been diagnosed or fully inspected by a doctor so far, as none if her carers have bothered enough to get it done. Not that Anni cares much, anyway. 

Personality: before being introduced to the nanobots, Anni was a cold and insensitive teenager who carelessly engaged in relationships which she then abandoned and never particularly cared what would come of her. Her actions were often reckless and spontaneous, she never cared for her education but more for the spur of the moment.

When coming in contact with the nanobots, Anni changed quite subtly but significantly all the same. She began to feel true passion and happiness while also experiencing jealousy and emotional pain.

Abilities: Anni now possesses a concentrated form of biokinesis. With either deep emotions or greet concentration she can alter her very own DNA - whether she is changing her muscle structure, weight, personality or simply her appearance, by focusing she can alter her strands of DNA to either whatever she chooses - or whatever her emotions decide to take control of.

Weapons; occasionally a sniper rifle; but usually just a long knife strapped close to her for close-combat.

History: At a young age, Anni was subject to domestic violence, which worstened her genetic emotional weakness even further. Her mother was beaten by her father also, and very soon murdered by him. Not long after, Anni was taken in by Social Services and her father taken away; soon to be a victim of suicide. Anni was fostered by many families, none of which  truly cared for her or fostered her for a long period of time. On Anni's 15th birthday, her uncle Cassius stood up to take care of her once and for all. He soon revealed that he wouldn't do that very well - as soon as Anni got the chance to leave school, she did, and her uncle done nothing to stop her. He employed her as a waitress in his low-quality cafe, and has cared nothing for her various instances of drug intake or abusive, short-term boyfriends. When approached by a mysterious, wealthy-looking man claiming to be able to enhance her life once and for all, she gladly took him up on the offer. After all, "Project Alpha" sounded like a nifty name, right?

Family: Mother, Dorathea, and father, Jools, both deceased - murdered and committed suicide, respectively. Rumour of foreign sibling, never bothered to investigate. A few aunties and uncles on her mother's side, namely her carers Cassius and his long-term fiancé Hilda. 

Love Relations?: Countless flings and good-for-nothing boyfriends, certainly not an innocent girl.

Name: Lucas Reinhart

Age: 18

Gender: Male

Height: 6'0''

Weight: 175 lbs.

Hair: Shaggy brown hair.

Eyes: Dark green eyes until the transformation. Then they became glowing red eyes.

Clothes/Armour: Clothing is a fitting black t-shirt, brown cargo pants, with a brown overcoat and cut off gloves.

His Armor is red and black and looks like this but with no helmet and his coat over top.

Disability: ADHD. He can't sit still to save his life, especially after the alterations. Also Fibromyalgia. The constant bio-kinetic energy make his nerves hypersensitive and basically radiate pain.

Personality: Suave, Charming, Mischievous, While still being a nice guy.

Abilities: His body constantly generates bio-kinetic energy, which gives him increased reflexes, speed, agility, balance, coordination, and endurance. He's basically built for constant motion. He can take the potential energy stored in an object and convert it to kinetic energy thus “charging” that item with explosive results. The larger the item the longer it takes to charge. He has to touch the items directly. He can alternatively accelerate an objects kinetic energy instead of converting it's potential energy.

Weapons; Throwing knives that he can charge with energy. A quarterstaff and hand to hand.

History: A thief growing up on the streets of New York. Lucas often ran with various gangs, jumping from one to the other as he sold them out to authorities. His humble abode was an abandoned apartment building where he stayed up on the top floor and roof. One night he was running with a local crew to steal from a small jewelry store. The owner was expecting their arrival and the cops were already in place when Lucas and gang arrived.

And so he went to jail. Recruiters for Project Alpha found him after some prison thugs tried to gang up on him and Lucas won. They had been trying to track him down for awhile for their secret project. He showed promise and traits that they looked for in subjects. Lucas had been avoiding them for years, mistaking them for police. They offered to take him into their project and give him a clean record, home, and job. Of course Lucas accepted, it was that or get killed in jail eventually.

Plus the project was too interesting for him to pass up the opportunity.

Family: Orphan. Doesn't have any as far as he knows.

Love Relations?: None as of right now

Name: Ben Knight

Age: 17 going on 18

Gender: Male

Height: 5'11"

Weight: 171 lbs.

Hair: Dark red hair

Eyes: Green, after transformation green with orange highlights

Clothes/Armour: Clothes: Black shirt with 'I HAVE FURY' on it, tattered grey jeans, Red, dirty converse. Will sometimes wear black jacket and Black trilby. Armor: This except minus key blade, and the horns are facing backwards and more jagged. Mainly orange with black and amber highlights. Helmet can be removed.

Disability: Blind in his left eye, and has no feeling in his left arm (can move it, but not as well as his right). This is due to a birth defect.

Personality: Alistair, despite being raised by himself (due to lack of father/mother not caring), is quite polite, and charming. He is kind to almost everyone, and quite sympathetic. He hates when people are being picked on, and will protect them, to the point of violence with the aggressor. He is not one to hold grudges, and will easily forgive people. Around friends, a more warm attitude is shown, and he becomes more friendly, and has more of an attitude.

He cares for his little sister very much, and feels connected to anyone who suffers the same condition. He has no patience for people who throw their lives away, and, whilst being polite, will make it very clear when he dislikes someone, or disapproves/disagrees with them. He handles tough situations calmly, and will do whatever it takes to finish battles. Perceptive people will notice that behind his mask of happiness and politeness, there's a lot of sadness and anger. He likes to play video games, like the ones his school friends have.

Abilities: Alistair has the ability to use pyrokinesis, allowing him to cloak limbs in fire, throws fireball, create small fires, or simply keep him warm. Keeping the flame going for a long time without fuel wears him down, and once away from his body his fireballs quickly lose their potency. Without help, he can only throw fireballs about four feet. He can use the fire for a bit without burning himself, but after a certain amount of time, his energy slips and he loses control of his fire, causing a whiplash of sorts which burns him, no matter how far away the fire is. It is because of this he tends to use his left hand when using the fire for longer periods. The fires, however, can burn at a high temperature, up into seven hundred degrees (Celsius, not that stupid Fahrenheit >:/) if he tries.

Weapons: No guns - fireballs are enough (plus I don't know any |D ). He carries a small knife on his belt, though.

History: TBD

Family: David (Father) Left, Violet (Mother) Hires herself out - uses money for drugs, Angel (Little Sister) Insane, in child's hospital/asylum. Lived in a children's home after he told a teacher about his mother. Sister moved to hospital/asylum.

Love Relations?: None

I'll fix it up later, but I need to go now. Hope I got the power right? EDIT: Fixed the name and decided on weapons.

Many thanks to all of you for contributing to this RP- You don't know half how much this means to me!

I've read all of your bio's thoroughly, and all seem pretty much fine to me. I trust that the gaps will be filled soon enough. Two things I'd like to say; Blazi, your character has the same name as Toru's, you might want to fix that- And Rey, are you sure you don't want any guns for your character? We could use someone with a shotgun for team balance, and seeing as strong bursts are your character's thing...

Now we can get to setting a date for the first post. I'd like to suggest next week Thursday, since I'll be in London from Monday to Wednesday and it'll take a while to write up the post, but I figure that with enough preparation I'll be able to get it up on Thursday.

Hand full of pebbles is the same effect. But anyways I always see weapons as preferred weapons not mandatory weapons. If we need a shotgun at the time, sure he'll use it. But we have super powers to round out that stuff lol.

And Rey, are you sure you don't want any guns for your character?

<<
>>
I guess I'm just fine :P

Also, don't worry too much about a start date Dark. Just get started when you're ready to get started, the rest of us will just sit tight until then. I'm ready when you are.

Well, you already had a reason for why your character didn't use any guns- I just wanted to ask Rey if he had a particular reason, maybe to do with his character's disability.

Also, sure- If everyone else is down with that. I'm still going to be working on it already though. xD

Just growing up as a street rat he doesn't have much gun training. And yea...if he charged the bullets they would probably explode as soon as he pulled the trigger. But there's nothing stopping him from using a gun, he just never has. leveling things by charging his staff or knives was just easier

I don't think any of our characters have had gun training in their pasts, but it's entirely your choice. How about a bow and arrow, though? :P

Again, just because i put those weapons down doesn't mean that they are the ONLY weapons he'll use. Make sense?

Sure! I just thought that those were his only ones because the rest of us have specified all of ours.

I'll have a shotgun, if you need me to~

Just tell me what type, and I'll put it down. (Seeing as I know NOTHING about guns)

Just Google it. xD

When are we starting?
