[align=center]PLAYER INFORMATION[/align] NAME: Vaughn Andre CONTACT: AnthonyAndre27@gmail.com HOW YOU FOUND US: Google OTHER CHARACTERS ON THE SITE None yet RULES CODE: Blackbird CREDIT WHERE IT'S DUE: http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Vibration_Emission http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wally_West#Powers_and_abilities http://heroeswiki.com/Mr._Shaw [align=center]CHARACTER INFORMATION[/align] [align=center] BASIC INFORMATION CANON OR ORIGINAL:Original AFFILIATION:Student FULL NAME: Vaughn Phaos CODENAME: ImPact NICKNAMES: CURRENT AGE:19 DATE OF BIRTH:10/11/1994 MARITAL STATUS: Single SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Straight BASE OF OPERATIONS: Xavier Institute TIME AT INSTITUTE: New Arrival REGISTERED WITH SHIELD? No HOMETOWN: Brooklyn, New York KNOWN RELATIVES: Vaughn Morris (Father), Marie Morris (Mother, deceased) PHYSICAL APPEARANCE HEIGHT: 6’1 BUILD: He is not small as he has a decent build, like that of a football running back or wide receiver. He is extremely fit and in great health EYES: Green HAIR: Black DISTINGUISHING MARKS: He has this tattoo ![]() CLOTHING STYLE: He is a simple guy and usually dresses in t-shirts and jeans really. He wears dark boots a lot, and thin jackets or leather jackets. His favorite colors are Grey, Black and Red he will wear other colors but usually wears those UNIFORM: His uniform is black and grey, He also has a black and red one. It consists of black jean like pants cinched up by a belt, black boots and black gloves. The upper body is covered by a tight black t-shirt with either red inner lining or grey , He also wears a black hoodie with a large X on it in red or gray and black or red goggles. POWERS GENERAL DESCRIPTION: Vibrokinesis – The power to emit, control, and become sonic vibration waves Vaughn can vibrate his body and objects at extreme speeds making him able to destabilize the molecules in his body and items, usually causing inorganic objects to explode with enough concentration. He can also make bladed items sharper due to vibrating it as he cuts something. He can exist on the same plane that mutants like Shadow cat enter when going intangible therefore for a couple of seconds he is able to touch them but cannot maintain it or use it regularly. Current Abilities Minor Intangibility: Vaughn can vibrate fast enough to move through solid walls and objects but he cannot stay intangible for long periods of time roughly about 10 to 30 seconds the most. Unlike mutants like shadow cat his intangibility is a bi-product of his vibration ability. Shock-wave Generation: Vaughn can vibrate his body storing up energy and releasing it in burst from his hands or full body. The longer and faster he discharges his body the greater the discharge Speeding up or detonating inorganic items: He can speed up the molecules of items to the point that they move extremely fast or if he speeds up and destabilizes the molecules enough it will detonate. There is a size limit though about the size of a sedan, anything larger than just a portion of it will be affected. The same goes for walls if he vibrates through a wall or inorganic object and messes up it will explode. Later Abilities/through training Seismic Generation: Vaughn can direct his vibrations to the ground itself causing minor earthquakes or causing the ground to turn up but to do this both his palms have to be on a flat surface . Enhanced Physical ability: He can use energy stored up from vibrating to enhance his leaps, speed, and strength by a minimum. He can leap high into the air, propel himself forward in a straight line. Strength is enhanced on impact only; he cannot use his enhanced strength in any other way like lifting up a car or sustaining an attack from someone who has super strength. Invisibility: He does not actually disappear he vibrates so fast that he leaves the plane of our existence that is visible by the naked eye. There is a limit though when he does this as he cannot stay invisible indefinitely or he runs the risk of staying like that forever. To become invisible he has to vibrate faster than he does when he goes intangible Gliding: He cannot fly but if he is airborne he can vibrate becoming lighter and glide down or aim is vibratory waves downward to keep himself afloat for a short period of time. He can vibrate someone through a wall if he has physical contact with them, he can also glide or disappear with them. WEAKNESS: This is a great ability but has great weaknesses as well, but his main weakness is the threat of possibility of disappearing for good. He can vibrate to an extent that he cannot pull himself back together or get himself to stop therefore becoming ghostlike or leaving this plane of existence for good. He has to consciously activate his power although he has trouble controlling it at times, but other than that he is a normal mutant and does not receive any added benefits from his ability unless it’s activated. Even in his vibratory state his senses are still vulnerable to assault, for example he could be running through walls but if he is hit with a sonic attack his ear drums will feel the damage canceling out his ability. There is a strain his ability puts on his body, with overuse he risks death as using his powers stores energy within his body if he stores too much and does not discharge it he will have a heart attack and die. He cannot repeatedly use his ability he has to rest to recharge or go at least two minutes without activating it, to lessen the strain on his body. He is still vulnerable to psionic attacks, and depending on some items his power can be reflected back on him causing him pain. An example is the Juggernaut if he tries to attack him with a close range shock wave it will bounce of his invisible energy field and return to Vaughn with almost twice the strength. PERSONALITY The thing about Vaughn is that he seems to excel in many area’s but he is damaged due to his experiences in life but he tries to maintain himself. The biggest difference from now than when he was younger is that he is slightly darker now as before he was a boyscout but now he is more aggressive even violent when need be but only when he has to. Vaughn is very moral, humble and honorable due to his military upbringing so he speaks very proper and he articulates. He has a strong sense of duty when he has a job to do, he will do it to the best of his ability and if he fails it is not from lack of trying as he gives everything his all. Vaughn is a natural warrior as he excels physically mainly due to his ability but even without it he has a natural aptitude when it comes to action, although he usually chooses to remain in the background now until he is given orders to act. When given a challenge, he will stop at nothing to surpass or destroy any obstacles. Vaughn due to being captured by Apocalypse has developed OCD as he always has to be aware of his surroundings and is afraid of being captured again by anyone actually not just Apocalypse. Vaughn’s greatest aspect is how he views machinery as he seems really happy when learning anything new that has to do with machinery. He hates making mistakes and does his best to learn from his mistakes, and he can be rather hard on himself when he fails at something as he does his best to learn so it does not happen again but he hates the events that went wrong in the first place. He is very mindful of the feelings of others and polite but that does not mean he’s a pushover as maybe when he was younger he was more passive but now he is not afraid to get loud. Vaughn is not afraid to show emotion as if he is sad he may play strong but he won’t hide it completely. Vaughn is heterosexual but has had only a few relationships in his life as he was not much of a womanizer and is somewhat shy around women he finds attractive. Vaughn is not very reliant on his powers as he still lacks complete control over his abilities so since learning about them. HISTORY: PRE-APOCALYPSE Vaughn Morris was the son of a military general his father Ryan, and a gymnast Marie who was Ryan’s high school sweet heart and before Ryan had deployed for war they conceived Vaughn. It is safe to say that Vaughn was raised by a predominantly single mother as his father was away most of the time or when he was around they would be moving a lot either due to his military career or his mother’s career. However, Vaughn began to resent having to move on an almost regular basis as he never really got the chance to make long term friends. Even though he didn’t like moving around the one thing that Vaughn found some solace in was athletics, mainly football as he was a talented running back, when he was on a break it was almost impossible to catch him, although he didn’t know growing up that his powers played a role in that outcome. In addition, to excelling in sports Vaughn had a wide variety of skills due to his father teaching how to use firearms, weapons and hunt. Not only that but Vaughn has a knack for engineering since young he was always taking things apart to see how they work and trying to put them back together. Vaughn seemed like the perfect child, a genius intellect and a good family he excelled physically and mentally. All that changed when he was thirteen and he was with his mother talking in their kitchen and he was leaning on the stove when suddenly he began to twitch. Then he began to shake and his mother noticed that this was very abnormal and soon his body stopped shaking but he was vibrating and vibrated through the stove causing it to explode and the explosion knocked his mother back leaving her comatose for 2 years. While his mother was in a coma, Vaughn did not know what happened to her as the memory of that day was hazy as he couldn’t recall what happed just that the stove blew up and his mom got hurt. After that he lived on the army base with his father who furthered his skills in engineering as he was enrolled into the military academy. He didn’t like being a military academy brat but it taught him discipline and many mannerisms that he uses currently, he also had boxing and firearm training like most military academy students had. He had not had an incident with his abilities for a long time after that to the point that he still didn’t know that he was a mutant but he eventually stopped playing football altogether, which many cadets were upset as they call him a machine as when he got going he wouldn’t stop as if he had a reservoir full of energy. Close to two years, his mother awoke from her coma and he was extremely happy to be with his mother again, and she was happy to be reunited with Vaughn and his father. She vaguely remembered what happened and questioned Vaughn as to if he remembered what happened the day of her accident but he did not remember even when she took him to therapy he was unable to recall the events of that day. Vaughn was now fifteen going on 16 and was your typical teen as he rebelled slightly as he wanted to have fun and was tired of being a boy scout all the time and began to disobey his parents by sneaking out and partying, sometimes he got into fights which his father scolded him for as he taught him how to defend himself not go seeking a fight. Vaughn remained respectable besides the minor spats with his family due to his rebelling he was a great son, and decided to pursue a career in engineering even though his father wished he would have entered the army after graduating from the military academy. DURING APOCALYPSE (April 7th through April 12th, 2009) During the age of Apocalypse Vaughn’s mother was killed as Vaughn was identified as a mutant and tagged by apocalypse himself. Due to the death of his mother Vaughn became depressed as he felt that he was the reason his mother was killed due to the fact that he did not know his mutant status and therefore he could have taken precautions to protect his mother. He wanted to protect his father as he now knew he was a mutant, so he had made false identity changing his last name to Phaos, which is a genius butterfly that his mother had tattooed on her. He decided to cut his hair short and get a tattoo, his right arm has a tattoo as if it is mechanical. The hell that was brought about in this age was like nothing anyone had ever seen, it was the stress that made Vaughn’s abilities rage out of control when he tried to defend himself. The X-men were victorious against apocalypse but things for Vaughn did not go back to normal, as his power had awakened in a major way. Post-Apocalypse Now some months after Apocalypse Vaughn’s abilities were activating at times without him willing it to, nothing major just things like his hand will vibrate on a table top and break it; or he’d take out his trash and try to contain his ability and end up blowing it up with a shock-wave. Vaughn kept in touch with his father, as the two regularly talked on the phone which Vaughn had to switch regularly as they kept blowing up in his hands, but he was living on his own doing odd jobs to maintain a crappy apartment and he didn’t want to stand out. He was still in denial somewhat of being a mutant but then he realized that he needed to learn how to control this power or he’d be a danger to anyone and everyone so he went to the Xavier institute and became a student there. He is currently a new student but he is a good student as he was in a military academy so he is very proper and formal with everyone. SAMPLE RP POST: I woke in my bed at the Xavier institute as it was my first night there and I have seen so much already a lot of people with crazy abilities, and met the faculty who at times seemed scary. I woke up early, it was second nature to me ever since I was in the military academy we were usually woken up at about 4:30 pm to go outside for cardio; so that means running and working out. I leave my room and go outside and begin jogging around the premises, it usually helped clear my mind well actually working on cars helped clear my head but this was a good second. I had my Ipod in my ear as I jogged and I am shocked as to how big this place is Mr. Xavier must be beyond loaded to own this place. My mother was on my mind as I jogged, I missed her so much and I lost her and I didn’t even get to say goodbye. Her birthday was coming up so I was tearing up and then I felt it, I was getting good at predicting these attacks you could call it because it was similar to panic attacks but I’d vibrate uncontrollably but sometimes I’d be able to contain it. Sometimes I’d tremble outwardly to the point that it was like I had Parkinson’s disease but other times like now I’d be still but I could feel it, I could feel my body vibrating internally. I stood still as this was very delicate for all I know with my next step I could phase through the ground or destroy everything in my surrounding area. The vibration stopped as I was breathing to control it but I still felt it, I think I did it for once I didn’t destroy anything or phase through anything. I smile as I was happy….”I did it; I DID IT I CONTROLLED IT YESSS!!!” I scream out throwing my fist in the air but I spoke too soon as I felt the force and shock-wave burst from my hands and shoot upward into the air with incredible force to the point that it was driving me into the ground. “AAAHHH DAMN IT” I say as I began to breath and soon as I relaxed it stopped…. I just laid there in a small crater roughly the size of my body as I stared at the stars that were visible now since my shock wave blew the clouds out of the way making the stars visible in a small opening that it created. I look at the school, man I really hope I don’t end up destroying the institute |

Before this is reviewed, you have not put in the rules code. This is found by reading the rules section. Also, your spacing doesn't look to have copied over properly. We usually put a break between paragraphs. See approved applications for examples. Fix those things and this will be properly reviewed. |

Hey Phaos! Thanks for applying to XMR. I have a few things I'd like to point out about your application that will need some adjusting before he is accepted. 1) The Legacy Squad: No where in your history does it talk about Vaughn coming to the X-mansion, being a student there, or anything X-related really. Mostly your history speaks of him moving from place to place with his father, becoming a security guard for “high ranking people,” and things of that nature. I have no problem with him eventually becoming a member of the Legacy Squad, but he will first have to come to the school and earn his position on the team. 2) The powers: For a 19 year old mutant that has had no formal training in his abilities, he seems to know his powers well and can use them in very specific ways. I would be more comfortable with limiting his powers to a few of these, leaving the other things as options that he can learn later or removing a few of those all together. A person that can have (though in a more limited fashion) Shadowcat's ability, Gambit's ability, Stong Guy's ability, etc seems too over powered, especially for a 19 year old young man. I would have no problem with him being able to vibrate through walls, creating vibration-shockwaves, or shaking the earth, but all of those powers combined seems a bit much. I would rather you pick a few of those and write them out in more detail. 3) Your history: It is fine up until the Apocalypse. Apocalypse here on XMR did not round people up into camps as you described. I know that our history is long here on XMR, but I think if you narrow your search down to Apocalypse related things, you should be able to determine how the world was attacked by Apocalypse. I'll give you a hint, it involved nanites taking control of those who were worthy. Please read up on our history in this regard and edit your history accordingly. Also keep in mind that Apocalypse was in 2009, so some time has passed since then. Current game time is March-April 2013. Another aspect about your history that I find hard to accept is that he has military experience without ever really being in the military. Sure, he would know some things about the military as a child of a General, but that doesn't mean that he would have access to the training that soldiers would receive. As an ex-military person myself, I know that this would not be allowed, no matter who you are. Civilians being brought into military training is a no-go. That leads me to the part where you are talking about him being a security professional for high ranking individuals, going up against people such as the Brotherhood and the Hellfire Club. Again, this is a no-go. A 19 year old young man would not have that kind of experience, and frankly, the Brotherhood and the HFC would wipe the floor with him. Another reason this makes it hard is because the Brotherhood and the HFC are played factions in XMR, and no where in our history has this happened. Please edit and remove this. I suggest the final section of your history being Phaos moving towards the X-mansion in some manner, because he isn't going to show up in your first thread and be a part of the Legacy Squad. 4) Your sample post: It is filled with punctuation errors and the usage of numbers instead of spelling the number out.
This is a good example of what I mean. You switch to writing in first person, even though the rest of the sample post is in third person. You use the numbers “4” and “1” instead of spelling them out. This is something that might seem picky, but well, it is. If a number is one word, spell it out. Also, your punctuation and spacing throughout the application is a mess. Try to clean this up, look to other applications for examples if you are having a problem doing this.
Instead of writing “(Teacher)” you would write:
Your spelling seems good, just work on the punctuation and keeping it in the same person, etc. Well, I know that I gave you a lot to work on. We strive to be a high level site and being thorough with our applications is the first step in this process. Please make the requested changes and then reply here when they are finished. If you have any questions, please contact a member of staff and they will attempt to answer any questions that you may have. Thanks again for applying to XMR! |

I made some changes to the application if i missed anything please let me know i don't mind redoing it a million times, I made him a student the sample post is in first person I changed up his abilities to what he can do now which is vibrate through walls, shock-wave generation, and randomly blowing inorganic items up |

It is getting better, Phaos. Your history still has him being tagged by Apocalypse himself and that needs to be changed. If he came to the school right after Apocalypse, then you need to adjust the age or time. Again, Apocalypse occurred in 2009. If he came to the school right after Apocalypse, then you need to read the site history and explain what he was doing during the past four years. He will not be a new student if he came right after Apocalypse. In the history you will find what has happened and you can give a summary of that, while he was at the school. If he was NOT at the school, then you still need to read our history and understand what has happened, and give a summary of what has occurred in Phaos' life during these world changing events. I think that you misunderstood what I meant about the sample post. I said that you switched between third and first person, but I didn't mean for you to write your post in first person. I am sorry if I came across that way. You should read around the site and you will see that we write in third person. So adjust your sample post accordingly. Again, I encourage you to read the site, which includes approved profiles, active threads and past threads. I also encourage you to read our history which can be found on the left side bar of the site. You need to read this to know what has occurred on XMR, especially since the time that you have Phaos coming to the school. |
