NAME: John CONTACT: jcoviello88@yahoo.com/pm HOW YOU FOUND US: google OTHER CHARACTERS ON THE SITE: nope RULES CODE: Blackbird CREDIT WHERE IT'S DUE: FMA(full metal alchemist) wiki and my brain CHARACTER INFORMATION Michael Ironside BASIC INFORMATION CANON OR ORIGINAL: Original AFFILIATION: Student FULL NAME: James Alrox CODENAME: Thoth NICKNAMES: Transmuter, Jimmy CURRENT AGE: 23 DATE OF BIRTH: October 13th MARITAL STATUS: Single SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Heterosexual BASE OF OPERATIONS: Xavier's School TIME AT INSTITUTE: one year REGISTERED WITH SHIELD? No HOMETOWN: Pittsburgh, PA KNOWN RELATIVES: None PHYSICAL APPEARANCE HEIGHT:Five foot nine BUILD: Slightly muscular EYES: Brown HAIR: Black DISTINGUISHING MARKS: Scar running down the right side of his face CLOTHING STYLE: Around others i.e. not in battle, James tends to lean more towards dark jeans and button up shirts sometimes with slim ties. He compliments his shirts with a variety of vests and sweater vests. His style can best be described as laid back yet classy. UNIFORM: When out using his powers James dons an all black battle suit that he's created, it's basically kevlar and leather. Overtop of this suit he wears a modified pecoat with pockets designed to hold various alchemic tools and ingredients. The most important part of his uniform is his gloves, which he has specially made to enhance and quicken his powers. POWERS GENERAL DESCRIPTION: Elemental Transmutation Elemental Transmutation, sometimes known as alchemy, is the ability to manipulate certain elements into others and the ability to control said elements once they have been transmuted. James is naturally able to do this although it takes him some time to do so. Because of this time restraint on him James has crafted special alchemy gloves which he has designed to enhance his powers and shorten the time it takes to transmute. He has honed his powers enough that he is able to transmute in mid-air, allowing him for example to pick up a rock, transmute it into an iron spike, and throw it at his enemy. When he starts to use his powers, James' eyes roll into the back of his head and his veins bulge from his head neck and hands. Elemental Control With small objects he has transmuted James is able to control these objects, meaning that he can move any small object (generally anything smaller than a backpack) in any way he chooses. The downside to this is that if he has built any barriers around himself the focus required to move objects causes him to lose the focus of barriers. WEAKNESS: James can only transmute non organic matter, so trying to turn another person's insides into water or make their body explode is not possible. Also the more dense the matter the harder and longer it is to transmute. As a result of this limitation any time he does a complex transmutation it weakens him. He is in good physical condition, his stamina is about average, since his powers come from within and concentration any psychic mutant can disrupt this and cause him to lose control and the transmutation will fail. He is just like any other person when it comes to physical harm, though his suit protects him to an extent. PERSONALITY: James grew up in a steel town, his father was a steel mill worker and was not around much. His mother ended up being a drug addict. Because of this, James has trust issues and does not like authority. His one love in life has always been science, an outlet from the outside world where he was neglected and ignored. Over the years he moved from place to place, often trying to use his powers to his advantage to make a buck or land a date, he has never stayed in one place too long. His slightly cocky and dismissive behavior have rendered him a loner. James tried at one point to join the army, but his lack of respect for officers caused him to be discharged. He met a man about 5 years ago that changed his life, he taught him to use his powers more effectively and also merge James's love of science to further enhance and enrich his powers. Now James is getting better with listening to those above him, although he is still sometimes hard headed, he longs to work with Dr. McCoy (beast) as he feels Beast will understand him and share his passion for science. HISTORY: PRE-APOCALYPSE James was born on October 13th, 1990. For the majority of his life he stayed in his hometown of Pittsburgh. His great love was always science, he won the science fair in his school every year until his junior year of high school. He was always fascinated with chemistry the way certain elements react with others. It was this love that ultimately lead him to discover his powers. One day during one of his experiments in the science lab at school in his junior year something wonderful (or horrible depending on how you look at it) happened. He was attempting to see if he could find a new way to electro plate aluminum to make it look more like gold, in trying to do so the chemicals exploded. James threw up his hands trying to hold back the splash that was heading towards him, as it hit his hands he found himself wishing it was only water. As he opened his eyes he realized it WAS water. After several more attempts he found that he was able to transmute non organic matter into other matter. He was a real life alchemist! When he tried to use this gift to further his science fair experiments the school expelled him and his hometown shunned him for being a mutant. He traveled from place to place never really landing a job for long, sooner or later he turned to his science and transmuting powers and he would be run out of town. About 5 years ago James met a scientist, he does not speak his name and becomes extremely hostile when asked about him, this man took him as a pupil and tried to teach James that his powers should be used to protect those that need it and that his love of science should be used to further this goal. Together they worked on building the Alchemic gloves that enhance his powers. After about 2 years James and his teacher went they're separate ways, James committed to helping other mutants and disrupting anyone who thought otherwise. DURING APOCALYPSE: James was living in a small town outside of Buffalo, NY at the time of the apocalypse. When it hit all hell seemed to break loose. James did his best to protect the people of the town with the arrival of the national guard to the area they were able to restore order. The incident exposed him as a mutant and because of the outward appearance of him when he uses his powers they ran him out of town. He heard from one of the townspeople that there is a school in upstate NY that might be able to help him and accept him for his gifts. POST-APOCALYPSE: James had been searching for Xaviers school ever since the apocalypse incident. Running into small factions of radicals and running out of money delayed his arrival but he still sought out Dr. McCoy. Hoping in his heart that he will finally find a place where he belongs. Sample RP: -go ahead james show me what you've learned I slip on my gloves and crack my knuckles and neck. Leaning down the the ground I place my hands on the loose dirt concentrating hard I form the dirt into a small wall. -This is pointless, why am I wasting time making walls out of dirt? I have power! I should be out there <points out of the room> not stuck in here making magic tricks!

I'm going to have to be blunt here, but this is pretty unacceptable as it stands. Above everything else, your sample is not even HALF of the minimum word count and written in completely the wrong style. We expect at least 200 words in in game posts, past tense third person. For samples we like to see you push yourself beyond this. 75 words does not even scratch the surface. You have whole sections missing from your history (Purifiers, Skrulls, Current History etc) which are part of the application template and should not have been removed. Please make your powers not so FMA. We are not an anime site, we're superheroes with a slant of realism. Also that playby just does not work for a 23 year old. There is no way this can be accepted until you put at least twice as much effort into pretty much everything here. You need to do a lot of research and read accepted applications, in game threads and the rules, then start again basically. I am sorry if this comes across as harsh or mean. I don't want to offend you or make you feel bad, but we have pretty high standards on this site and have created a lot of history in the past six years, so we need a certain level in apps that show you understand that fact and appreciate it. If you need to talk, please click 'staff duties list' in the side bar to get hold of contact details for myself and the rest of staff. Thank you for trying, but like I said, this just won't fly as it stands. |
