Oppression: Sign-up and Discussion

[Gaige]

In the city of New York, darkness dwells just below the surface. Evil and shadow fester in the alleyways, and a corrupt government portray an image of peace and tranquility. No one knows of the true darkness that rules aside from a select few.

Some of these are members of the government, those who enforce the illusion the citizens so desire. They are the faceless men and women who run the illusion, and will stop at nothing to keep this illusion running. Drunk on power, they have become little more than emotionless facets of evil.

Then there is a ruthless criminal organisation, who will do anything for power and wealth. They are known for being utterly unmerciful in their actions, being unafraid of participating in rape, murder, and thievery to get what they want: money, power, or a cheap thrill. They are the darkest dregs of society, and will stop at nothing to get what they want.

Finally, there are the innocent civilians who have been cursed with powers. These people are to be dragged into a divine war, either of their own will or against it. Their will is to be inevitably tied up in the conflict to come when the people, government, criminals, and civilians, engage in a war fuelled by resentment and twisted order.
___________________________________________________
The Elemental Beings

From birth, these people have been surrounded by auras that have repulsed the ordinary human. They are feared and excluded in one way or another by most ordinary humans, and have no real place in ordinary, everyday society. They have been shunned from an early age, and have had to learn independance one way or another.

Either before or during the RP, they will acquire powers according to their element. Most of these have been taken already, but there are one or two remaining.

These people have crystallised forms, which they will unlock as the RP proceeds. These forms are humanoid, yet more sleek and streamlined, and allow them to unlock their true abilities in this form. They have an increase in strength, endurance, speed, and magical ability while in these forms, which appear to be made of shining crystal.

Don't forget. OCs will have a massive role in the RP as well. They will have relationships and affiliations with the different groups, and I have roles planned for OCs.

Power of Non-Elementalism

Name: Lily

Age: Between 18 and 23

Appearance: A tallish woman at five foot seven inches, she has a round, innocent heart shaped face, with round, bright baby blue eyes and a small button nose. Her face is rather thin but open, with very soft, smooth pale skin.

She has long, light blond hair that falls to her middle back. Wavy and silky, it is well cared for, and Lily always wears this hairstyle loose. She hates tying it up into a bun or ponytail, due to reasons that will be revealed later in the RP.

She has a slender form, that appears at first glance to be quite fragile and lacking somewhat in physical strength. However, in reality, there is a huge amount of power beneath her light form and she has quite deceptively strong muscles.

She wears a black dress with long sleeves that covers her lower neck down to her knees. On her legs there are long black, opaque tights and she wears knee high black books,completing a rather gothic style very well. She also occasionally dons black gloves for certain occasions.

Appaearance in crystallised form: Lily increases in size to almost six foot, with her body engulfed in a rose pink with a white sheen whenever light hits it. Her entire body seems to be made of an endurant rose quartz.

A large, spiked pink crown is placed on her head while in crystallised form, and spiked pink wings that can be used both offensively and in a fight sprout on her back and she can use them remarkably well in battle and out of it.

Personality: Sweet and almost inhumanely kind, Lily is the embodiment of all that is sweet and gentle in the world. She is always ready to say a kind word to anybody ad is always upbeat and pleasant. She will be willing to give anyone a chance provided they're genuine about it, and she can detect when they are not.

Despite her nature, she is not naive. She is actually rather street smart, with a killer instinct and a danger radar that is second to none. If Lily senses that something is wrong, she'll run, and never return. This is her nature, and it has saved her life a number of times. Because of this aspect of her, Lily is reluctant to stay in one place for too long, and relishes the life of a traveller.

Lily is also extremely pacifistic by nature, particularly when in her human form, and has never in her human form imparted physical harm upon anyone else. She see's this as a strength in her. Others see it as a weakness to be exploited. However, she usually has the instincts to be able to tell when someone is trying to do this.

However, when in her crystallised form, Lily is ruled by emotions and base desire, and becomes a being of pure instinct and wrath. All boundless rage erupts from her and she is a violent, unstoppable force that can only be taken down with powerful intervention. This is her one downfall, and the transformation in appearance and personality makes for a chilling effect.

Weapons: A rapier.

History: Kept secret for future RP purposes.

 

[Miki Hoshii]

(I hope I did this right, it's my first time applying for a RP here, I hope you guys accept me or critique me if I do wrong.)

Power of Light
Name: Volante
Age: 12
Appearance: Volante is a short, brown haired
girl at four feet and eight inches. She has dull
brown eyes. While her skin tone is light, she is
a very healthy girl and it posses a young,
pinkish tint.

Normally her hair would be plain
short, but Volante ties it to the right side of her
hair with two bunbuns. This particular style
can give her a childish or sometimes energetic
look. The reason to this is revealed later.

Being a kid, Volante seems to be
small, weak, and fragile. Despite this, she is
extremely capable of fighting. However, her
small constitution dictates that she can't take
very many hits.


Her outfit consists of a simple,
purple T-shirt with a yellow jacket with the
acronym IM@S printed on the right side. The
fringes are colored with the primary colors plus
white. Volante has an extreme adversion to
wearing pants, so she wears short, purple shorts
with a pink belt. Her shoes are regular
children's tennis shoes with calf-high socks.

Appearance in Crystallised Form: Volante
doesen't change much in crystallised form, but
her aura becomes a yellowish tint. From the
right angle, her skin seems to be glowing a
bright yellow. Her hair bun seems to
mysteriously change sides, however.

Personality: Always energetic and on the go,
Volante tries to keep a smile and a happy
demeanor for the rest of the group. While this
is somewhat a facade, her stepford smiler
personality isn't all fake. She is generally the
embodiment of warm and friendly energy, and
will attempt to make friends with anyone untill
told to stop. Despite this, she can be extremely
mischevous and loves setting traps and playing
pranks. She also has a habit of imitating
someone's voice for comedic effect.

This nature has it's downsides,
however, as Volante can be extremely naive.
She generally doesen't doubt, and goes head
first without thinking. She can be extremely
nerve wracking, and can have extreme
emotional constract to a stark situation which
can be extremely disturbing.

When angered, Volante can be
extremely scary. She doesen't like someone
hurting her friends or stealing from her. When
this situation arises, Volante becomes a loose
cannon that can fire at anyone who breaks the
camel's back.

When in crystallised form,
Volante's emotions seem to be desensitised, and
she can kill with a smile on her face. She
becomes entirely objective focused and
pragmatic. Being so morbid, it's extremely
scary to think this is the same as the once cheery
and happy girl. This side of her, however, is a
magnification of her anger and frustration she
locks down deep inside.

Weapons: Baton

History: Volante is a child idol who works for
a talent agency. Inter Media Arist and Specialists (IM@S), in New York City. Generally
bubbly, she had many fans of her songs such as
Positive! and Start to Star, but when her
powers started to develop, the ruthless
government decided to recruit her to fight.
Under the impression this was just a higher
ranking idol audition test, Volante went to fight
with a smile.

 

[Gaige]

That's great, Miki Hoshii. Approved. I assume you'll be starting Volante off on the side of the government?

 

[Miki Hoshii]

Thank you, I appreciate that you like my sheet XD. Yes, she's too young to really understand what's going on. Do I sense character development? I'm friends with Subbie, so thanks for telling him how you loved my character concept, I really appreciate it sir.

Edit: And just call me Miki.

 

[Gaige]

Sir? XD First time I've been called that. Yeah, welcome to the RP. Hope you enjoy yourself here!

 

[Tipsynaruto]

Hey, Diar, can i take water? Just to confirm, it seems like everyone can fly...?

 

[Abstract Debauchery]

Name: Dyne Thompson


Age: 24


Appearance:

Known for his strange white hair ever since a child, Dyne has always stood out. From having an odd name, to an odd sense of dress, and to top it all off, from the day he was born he had a black aura around him.


His short white hair touches the nape of his neck. He likes it no shorter than that, and he grows it out longer on a daily basis. However, not matter what the circumstances, he never bushes or combs it.


Appearance in Crystallized form:

In crystallized form, Dyne's appearance completely changes. Hair color, eye color, facial features, everything becomes unfamiliar to the point where he can't recognize himself. The crystals cover virtually every part of his being, save for his face, and take the shape of armor. While in crystal form, his powers increase tenfold.


Personality: From a young age, Dyne came to terms with the possibility that he wasn't Human. Shunned out by his Mother and Father at the age of 13, Dyne has lived on his own, and learned everything himself. Though not going to school for most of his life, he learned everything that he should have learned from a high school education, and more, from reading books. In fact, he had read so many, he has the names of 3 library's' written down where he's read every book in it.


Striving for more knowledge of his rare condition, Dyne continues to read, as much as he can.


Cold, distant, and very easy to annoy, Dyne tends to stay alone most of the time. Although he knows much, he never lets on that he knows more than other people are thinking. “Knowledge is power, hide it well” has been his motto for years.


Cynical, untrusting, pessimistic, most people that come to know Dyne, tend to not hang around him for his charming personality.


Dyne dislikes failure, and is not willing to accept anything below perfection. If he messes up, he beats himself up about it mentally, all while attempting to find ways to improve.


However, the one thing that Dyne cannot stand, no matter what, is being touched. Being touched will send him into an irrational fit of rage, or a panic attack where he'll end up washing whatever part of him was touched for an hour.


Not afraid to fight, not afraid to kill, Dyne has the means, and the willpower to end something quickly if things are out of hand. Normally calm, and collected, once he loses control and crystallized form kicks in, he loses that calm demeanor, and will not hesitate to kill anyone near him. Crystallized form is only to be used in case of a last resort. Using it is nothing more than another way of copping out, admitting defeat, and is shameful due to the nature of it.


Weapons: Katana


History: After being disowned by his family at the young age of 13, Dyne went to see the world, and learn what he could from teaching himself. In a short amount of time, Dyne became well versed in strategy, history, law, physics, chemistry, psychology, cooking, and literature. However, due to the nature of his appearance, he couldn't get a job, a home, or even a single friend.


At the age of 16, Dyne became familiar with his powers. Cornered by a band of muggers, he panicked once they grabbed his arm, and transformed. He woke up two hours later with nothing but shreds of flesh and a pool of blood in his wake. Ever since that day, Dyne has acquired an irrational fear of being touched.


Using his new found powers, he discovered that he could fly, and did just that every night as a means of faster travel.



Unable to make money by any conventional means, Dyne took to a life of crime. In just 2 years of moving to New York, Dyne became responsible for 38% of drugs on the streets of New York City. While he never touched the stuff, he ran a rather large underground criminal ring. While he wasn't proud of it, it earned him money, trust among criminals, and a means of living.


On his 21st birthday, in his home on top of a 56 story building, a few of his henchmen got together to murder him on account of being an Elemental. In a matter of seconds, Dyne dealt with them personally, and to this day, their heads hang from one of his drug factories, to serve as a warning: Anyone that betrays him will die.


While he has stacks of money, Dyne never travels outside. Afraid that people will shun him for the aura around him, he sends people out to run errands, and only comes out on business. From having Chinese food delivered to him, and having people run out for groceries and fast food, Dyne always stays in his home.


It wasn't until recently that Dyne started to become dissatisfied with his way of life. He no longer wanted to sit in one place. He wants to show people what he is really capable of. He wants more power than what he has now. He wants control.

 

[Gaige]

Yes Tipsy, you can have water, and all the elemental cast can fly.

Good job Ringo. Approved. But please be aware that Danny is in charge of New York's main criminal organization.

 

[Abstract Debauchery]

Okay. Dyne is only in charge of a small drug ring. So, it shouldn't pose any problems. =3

 

[Tipsynaruto]

Right. Here we go...

Name:
Dies Irae

Age:
20

Appearance:
Dies fits into the buxom blonde category of people. A rather tall woman at 169 cm and weighing in at 58 kg of muscles, Dies is quite suited for her line of work and her neighbourhood. Her complexion is that of a Caucasian with blonde hair and steel gray eyes. Dies lets her hair grow naturally down and let it flow down until it reaches the small of her back. She usually tries to brush her fringe towards the right behind her ear, but more often than not, it falls out of place when she moves vigorously. At times, she would tie it up in a ponytail so that it doesn't get in the way, but it is not done often. Her build is normal, so she doesn't have lots of muscles, but nor is she a s tick that breaks in a breeze. She appears to be a rather hardy and tough type, not afraid of hard work. Dies' face retains her teen looks, being rather young and rather pretty and seemingly have a perpetual slight smirking smile on her lips.

Dies wears a pure black bikini top underneath. On top of the bikini is a white suit shirt with the sleeves rolled to the elbow and is unbuttoned all down the front. On her legs are a pair of baggy, black cargo pants with pockets multiple pockets that appear to be 2-3 size too big help up with a white clothe belt with one end trailing down the front. On her hands are a pair of gloves which she uses when fighting bare handed. These have joints protectors for protecting finger joints and for added damage. On her legs are these boots that reach up most of her lower legs. On her waist is a brown leather pistol/cartridge belt that is slung slanted on her waist with two pistol holster. On top is a long coat (except down to her lower legs and always unbuttoned and open). Under her two armpits are a pair of shoulder holsters. On her head is a black fedora tipped low. On the back of her waist is a waist bag that holds anything that is needed.

Appearance in Crystallised Form:
Dies couldn't be any more different in her crystallised form compared to her normal form. In this form, her hair turns to a bright azure blue and grows down to her knees. It is tied into two high up pigtails ties to the top side of her head tied by black ribbons. Her clothes change to something more oriental, a black one piece Chinese dress with pale white flower patterns near the top with calf high black stockings.

Her looks changed too. Rather than more rougher and tough girl look, Dies face softens. Her frame becomes slimmer and more graceful in comparison to her normal muscles as do her movements. Her height is reduced in order to keep her appearing proportional with her smaller frame and size, dropping to 162 cm. Her skin appears oriental pale, but there appears to be a slight azure sheen to her skin which is more visible when hit by light due to slight reflection and at times, seemingly slightly translucent .

Personality:
Dies is a spontaneous, wild and untameable type of person. She is tough and strong willed, not willing to be kept under a leash, a free type of person. Although seemingly unrefined for a girl, she has a heart and is a normal person, willing to be friendly and compassionate when the times call for it. She has mercy and morals and such that she wouldn't attack people more than necessary to do her job. She can be a bit simplistic at times as well as being a slight bit thick-headed plus short tempered, prone to acting on emotions. [FONT=&quot]Whereas she isn't smart in terms of book smart and common sense, she makes up for it in enthusiasm, energy and determination.

Her crystal form, again, is a distinct contrast to her normal self. Complete control of oneself and her mind, she hardly becomes outraged or show any change large in emotions. Her face seems to always show a slight serene smile, whether this is reading and enjoying tea or trying to kill someone. She is also rather whimsical, doing things at her own pace or to her own desire. Her crystallised form is merciless. She would kill without hesitation should she want to or something displeases her, regardless. Her possible ruthlessness makes her the more scary as it contrast her serene appearance.
[/FONT]
Weapon:
Dies has three weapons for her standard load out. One is a telescopic electric stun rod and the other two is pair of twin custom M1911 pistols with a modified receiver, increasing magazine capacity to 15 bullets each.

History:
Dies lived a typical slum upbringing. A rather poor single parent family which only consisted of Dies and her mother. With her mother only working as a dishwasher at a restaurant, Dies often missed school to work. Like many slum stories, the poor condition they lived in plus the heavy work hour took its toll on Dies mother and soon, died. With no parental support, the only thing she could turn to was the darker side of the world.

She was initially a small time lone hooligan, stealing to survive. The income was meagre, but soon, even that was not enough. She realised that she could often best many people in fights, so she opted to become a professional. A professional bodyguard. It was not surprising that she was not taken seriously at first, but her first commission was to guard a shipment of materials and was hired as cannon fodder. Faced against a larger group of attackers, the guards were heavily mauled. Thankfully, they were mostly street punks that Dies were used to handling. Being one of the few left standing after the conflict without needing to be hospitalised with the shipment intact, people took her more seriously.

From then, she had a stable income, much greater than before. Still, life was hard as she often find herself difficult to cultivate friendship as people. She could not find a reason for this. It helped a good deal in her job as people tend to stay away from her, which then stay away from her quarry. She had always wondered if it was because she was intimidating, but she would never know. It was not that different from when she was small and in the underworld, friendship was a rather dangerous thing, so it didn't affect Dies too much. To live through another day was enough for her.

[Subeinu]

Template: Power of Air

Name: Wendy Tempestas

Age: 17

Appearance:

Wendy is of asian decent making her have a asian skin complexion that is slightly tanned due too her travels above the sky being exposed to the sun almost all the time Her hair is pitch black thou with a slight tint of brown down at her tips and her eyes are of a gentle red and brown color that could almost represent the dark maple leaves. Her body in general is quite slim so there is not much weight on her body and she is around 5'7'' tall.

Her clothes are quite loose, light and easy too move in which is perfect for the one with the power over wind. She wears a white short sleeved shirt that has quite baggy sleeves and have a very dark blue piece of cloth around the neck area. The buttons are also of the same very dark color and the shirt is tightened around the mid part of her upper body making it very loose around the area where her belly button is.

She also wears a very light and loose skirt that blows easily in the wind. It starts at her hips and goes down her thighs, but not all the way down too her knees. White lines cross the skirt at the bottom of her skirt and the edge have white frills around the entire skirt.

She does not wear shoes as she is in the air most of the time, and due too her control over wind you can possibly say that the wind are her shoes.

For accessories she is wearing a red that fades into a gentle orange colored hat that she bough ages ago at a market which is strapped too her head and hidden beneath her hair so she don't loose it in her flight. Also she wears a golden scarf with a tint of brown too it that has maple leaf motives on it in orange, green and a light gray color. Also she wears a pair of black bracelets on each arm.

Appearance in Crystallized Form
When she turns into her crystallized form all her clothes disappear into a bright light as her entire skin turns emerald green removing any detail from her skin except for her eyes. Strong wind currents surround her chest and lower area and turn into white flowing cloth that covers her chest and lower area and will cover her regardless of how fast or how much she moves. The cloth was made too not show her chest or lower area. Strong wind currents surround her wrists and ankles and she becomes a true goddess of Wind.

Personality
Wendy is a cheerful girl that loves too travel and have fun. She is a person that seeks danger and loves a adventure due too her journalist genes and picture taking addiction for her own magazine back in Asia, which never was published or really exists. She is a fun person that values friendships and kindness and protects the people that take her for who she is.

Weapons
Maple Leaf Fan – Her weapon is a unique one that have been passed down too her from generation too generation. The Maple Leaf Fan was given too her by her grandmother and is literally a black wooden wand with a strong maple leaf stuck too it. The leaf is said too be from a ancient tree making the leaf live on for eternity.

Camera - Thou not directly a weapon she carries this with her at any time. Pictures are one of her passions and for many people that don't like their picture taken it can easily become a weapon.

History
Wendy discovered her powers as a young child as she could control the wind currents away from her village. No one knew about this gift of hers before she turned twelve years old and that's when hell started to break loose for her.

People started to resent her more and more as if a aura of darkness enshrouded her very being and in the end even her parents hated her. She did not know what too do either. She tried to leave her village, but when she went too the more modern city she was resented even more and almost shot to death by people.

That's when she decided to fly too the mountains and see if her grandmother would accept her. Her grandmother noticed the resentful aura, but decided to ignore it. Her grandmother was a old shrine maiden for the goddess of Air and had Wendy help her around the shrine and that's when Wendy took up photography.

Taking photo's of the shrine was her hobby and it helped a lot too get some nice beautiful pictures of the shrine too give it more popularity. And so it did. However her grandmother could not handle the pressure of the resentful feelings she had towards her granddaughter and told her that she had to leave if she new what was best for her. It was then she gave her the maple leaf fan as a memento that she would always love Wendy no matter what, but she had too leave.

Wendy left her grandmother in one kick from the ground as she flew above the skies with her maple leaf fan and camera too take pictures of the world that did not want too accept the mere fact that she exist.
