    1) Added a better description

    I agree with this, his superpower seems more the tail and ears than it does the actual revival thing (which btw is pretty OP I think...).

  • Weissreich May I point out that it takes three days, and during that time I can't do anything, and it takes roughly two weeks to have full strength back, also should I be killed by a building falling on top of me, then I can't revive since the building collapsing could be considered a 'natural event' thoretically that is

  • It's done! In fairness, Reon helped me come up with the powers and some of the basic personality traits. Superhero stuff is somewhat outside of my range of experience, and it's part of what held me back. Sorry for the long, long delay. ;-;



    Name: Edgar Minvar   

    Age: 24

    Alignment: Neutral Good

    General appearance: Short, lean, and scrawny...long, unkempt black hair, glasses, and wearing any casual clothes one could find at a dollar store or a Wal-Mart. Appearance isn't something that's particularly important to Edgar.

    Personality: An antisocial, awkward, and bookish man. Edgar seems a little nervous, much like a mouse. He tends to shy away from people, avoid confrontations, and have difficulty having conversations with anybody he isn't very close to. On the other hand, Edgar is extremely loyal to those that do manage to become close to him, almost to a fault. He's trustworthy, does his best to be honest, and live a life according to his own ideas of virtue.

    Power: Edgar has the ability to regulate how fatigued people feel, in that he can either mask the fatigue someone has so that can't feel it, or make them feel more fatigued than they really are.

    Combat skills (and weapons): None. His peaceful nature makes violence of any sort difficult for him to be a part of. He would prefer strategies that minimalize the confrontation aspect of any violence encountered, through use of stealth and surprise. Or so he imagines that's how it'll happen.

    Other skills (and tools): Edgar is very skilled with just about anything involving computers or technology, can repair many types of equipment, and has some limited first aid experience.

    History: Born in Snowford, a small village on the snowy western coast of Wintreath, Edgar has spent most of his 24 years living an unremarkable life. He performed well in school and was very intelligent, but was also a slacker which prevented him from being recognized for his talents. After graduating, he took a job as a librarian, working at the sleepy local library and doing some tech work on the side. One day, while talking to his boss, he realized that he could...feel...that she was quite tired, and with a little effort could change that feeling. Perhaps he always had this ability and didn't realize it until then, or perhaps something happened to cause it. Nobody really knows.

    Major weaknesses: The aforementioned lack of social skills and combat skills. Additionally, his power would have minimal effect on anything that could fight through their own intense feelings, and have no effect on anything that cannot feel fatigue.

    Motivation for joining the party: Seizing upon his newly discovered ability, Edgar decided that he wanted to go out into the world to "prove himself", and live a life that isn't the quiet, dreary one he's always known.

    Depends on how in-depth your power is, really. It might be able to detect the fact that the "natural" building collapse was caused by a villain, or something along those lines? I tend to shy clear of anything like total revival from death simply because of how over-powered it's been in other settings, but I admit I hadn't read the 2 weeks part ^.^

    This is quite an interesting setting: quite a few of the powers are very low level.

  • Name: (Well, doesn't really doesn't have a name...though the organization gave the name Azure, due to the luminescent blue markings)

    Age: 23 (Earth rotations around the sun)

    Alignment: Chaotically Neutral

    General appearance: Azure has a bipedal, masculinized humanoid appearance. Azure stands at 6'00'', with a rather big body. Azure's skin is of a lightly tanned one, with luminescent blue markings covering the entirety of the body in intricate, alien designs. The eyes have a white pupil, black irises, and constantly changing colours where the white usually is. Has short, straight hair, gelled up in the middle, that is black with purple tips. Azure also has a set of large canine teeth. Usually only wearing a pair of black jeans of foreign material(Azure goes without on occasion). Azure wears a circlet of sapphire on the head, a medallion necklace around the neck with foreign scripture, and several ruby inlaid piercings on the navel, tongue, and ears.

    Personality: Azure has a curious nature. Ever since Azure found himself on this planet, Azure has been immensely curious about it. Usually has a quizzical look on the face, and is constantly touching things in order to see what they do. Cannot speak, for the species have never spoken with their mouths, and instead must remain silent to others, as no one knows how to use the light language of the markings, the pheromone transmissions, or the written language of the species. Azure has recently gotten a rather lonely persona, but, as Azure slowly learns of the written and sign language of this world, Azure hopes to communicate for once.

     From this Earth, Azure has found great joys in music, even if Azure doesn't know what they mean half the time. Azure loves the water, and the sun, and the atmosphere, and one could see Azure stand in a meadow, body fully nude towards the sun. Azure also writes all the adventures in a foreign material bound book in the species own language. Azure also has found most humans to be rather weird, not liking how close Azure's body comes up to them, and the unnecessary touching that Azure was raised as appropriate and a way of communicating. Azure does, however, find them a fun and stimulating species.

    Combat skills (and weapons): Azure's canine teeth contain an unknown toxin, that, when expelled to others of the species, merely allows for more intimate conversations between people, and is used as an aphrodisiac when used on oneself. However, for humans, it causes one to go into a comatose state for a period ranging for several hours to several days. Azure has also been trained in the self-defense and offensive attacks of the species, involving graceful movements, spins, and acrobatics, with deadly precision to certain parts of the body using the palm of the hands and heel of the foot(and since the human and his species have similar body structures, they work just as well, if some precision is off). Azure also has a handcrafted spear with intricate designs inlaid with silver and sapphire with a built in retractable gold chord that can be thrown between 12-17ft and retracts back. Azure can use the spear in conjunction with the defensive and offensive art.

    Other skills (and tools): Toolwise, besides the spear, pants, accessories, and journal, not really anything except a light royal purple knapsack to hold stuff, and a weird harp like instrument. Other skills that he has: can play the harp-like instrument, which produces a slightly hypnotic sound, with a melancholic tune.Excels at cooking on this planet, and running. Also has a nice, disarming smile with light dimples, which Azure uses to make people less wary, as who can hold back against such an innocent face,  despite the wicked eyes. Azure's eyes allow for seeing, while also in regular human vision of the electromagnetic scale, in ultra violet and infrared, and, to a light extent, x-rays and radio waves. Also, as the brain is biologically different as well as mentally and neurologically different, telepathy, mind reading, mind control, empaths, and the like have no true.

    History: Azure is of the alien race Descalzo, a species that lives across the stars in an unknown galaxy circling an unnamed star. Without writing too much about the history/culture of Descalzo, lets just say that Azure had a wondrous childhood, filled with adventure and games. Right now, despite Earthly being a young adult, only at late adolescence, which Azure will be staying in much longer then the humans, till roughly 35, in which begins the rather long phase (human standards) of young adulthood.

     Anyways, one day, during a festival that was happening in a community, light struck down on Azure, sending the body across space and time into the wilderness that surrounded Wintropolis. There, Azure was discovered, wide eyed and afraid, until brought in by the organization, where Azure spent the first three months being examined and studied every which way, until finally they gave back the equipment, which Azure became distraught without. They tried introducing Azure to the human culture, which was found to be greatly interesting and exciting, but was extremely hard for to grasp and understand. After a while, when they thought Azure could grasp at least a very little understanding, they thrust Azure into the superhero program.


    Major weaknesses: Azure still does not fully understand human language/culture/and ideas, and therefore can lead him to do things that would be considered very out of the way, as well as to keep Azure really blocked off from team mates. All combat is revolved around play and game, as the species see it as sport, and probably won't understand till a bit later that things are life/death. The air of the Earth is lightly toxic. Azure can breathe normally and even pant with the lungs and body able to repair fully, but too fast and heavy breathing could lead Azure to be somewhat sick for a while, and possibly faint if too much at a time. Azure is also more susceptible to the viruses and bacteria of this planet, though, while his immune system is still capable, it will spend longer fighting them off, and possibly have unknown side effects. Also, latex, polyurethane, polyester, cotton, and rubber, when contacted with the skin, gives have a chemical reaction causing the skin to burn.

    Motivation for joining the party: Azure has no where else to go, and is looking for a place to be safe, and feel at home, till Azure possibly finds his way back across the stars.

    (P.S. I'll probably give small snippets of Azure's history on the home planet throughout the RP, because luckily I'll translate all thoughts and handwriting into English (not that you guys would know what that means, as that would be meta gaming...just for interest :P))
    (P.P.S. Also will have fun at some extreme and subtle cultural differences XD)
