OH haha gotcha. That was actually why I wanted you to give the explanation instead of having people just Google it for themselves - I wasn't sure if there were any specific reasons you chose those two families. I'm reading up on both right now on Wikipedia; they're pretty fascinating!

I've been debating on bringing Elu and Nash into this as teachers, but I'm not certain what kind of powers they'd have. (The two from Stained Glass Windows, which was another RP Wyndi had on VDex a few years ago.)
Nash is a male, while Elu is a female.

Well this looks fun... OH HI EVERYONE!! -- Coralin "Corey" Walker (a.k.a. Diversion) gender male | age 16 | sexual orientation pansexual
power(s) - Misdirection
[/b]'s(whom he makes eye contact with) attention(by telepathy[not a strong one though]) to someone/something else for a short period of time(max. 60 seconds), and Corey must be, at least, in a 20m radius of the object/person to make it work, as well as him needing to point at the object/person with whatever means necessary, like a pointer or his own index finger.[/ul] appearance Corey's overall appearance is, as we may say, bright. His shiny, blonde hair is gelled upwards, so his bangs won't cover his eyes and his baby blue eyes glisten in the sunlight. A track star at his old middle school, he is very fit with quite visible muscle and very long legs. His wardrobe is filled with an assortment of bright colored shirts and pants. Though he mostly wears a white tank top and dark green parachute pants with sandals. He might be seen, on special occasions, wearing dark outfits, thought the only "dark" outfit he has is a black tux, still not touched yet. personality A regularly cheery boy with little to no care in the world, probably due to the fact that he really doesn't care of what happens to this world. The class clown, as most people say, he uses his powers mostly to either pull pranks on unsuspecting classmates and teachers, mostly classmates, or to steal petty things like erasers, snacks and small stuff like that. He, when not pranking people or stealing from others, can be seen flirting, miserably if i may add, with everyone, whether female, male or anything between or outside that spectrum. Most of the times he flirts to avoid consequences though he also uses his powers for that too. Despite flirting with everybody, it is very hard for him to find that "special someone". Though, if he did find that someone he would still flirt with everyone, but he would really express his love to said person. [/font]

How about his diversion ability is like a type of persuasion caused by mild telepathy? Like he can persuade whoever he's making eye contact with to get distracted by something he points at? I just like to find reasons for things and the word "somehow" made me go crazy. Also, his second power sounds a lot like Jubilee. Her power was to shoot out little harmless fireworks from her fingertips or something lol.

clef - Oooh that sounds better. Alright! I'll edit it and delete the second power. I'll just make him like the guy who's mostly incharge of distracting the enemy.

sammie Nash and Eluuuuu <3
I feel one of them could probably have sedating/calming powers, but...neither of them were that great with peacekeeping back in stained glass. lol
-
Victiny Everything looks good aside from the personality section - could you go into greater detail, please? If you're having trouble coming up with more personality traits, a lot of people have also put how their character's history influences their current personality or perceptions of the world.

All right, I'd like to get this mutant party started soon, so if mdf2711 and fuyuki could get their profiles edited sometime in the next week, that would be great. I'll probably start the thread this weekend.

If I may:
Jacob Zeifer a.k.a Overload Male/223/Bi-Sexual
Power: The Ability to Manipulate Electricity and Regeneration. Description: By focusing, he can collect the negative ions in the atmosphere and release them as bolts of electricity. Curiously, as he does this, the surrounding area's temperature raises slightly. As of yet, the bursts of electricity are vastly uncontrolled though in small spurts, he can seemingly direct the energy as an arc. Somehow, the transmission of electricity though his body (and storage thereof) drastically increases both his metabolic rate and healing abilities. As a result however, he must eat frequently as his body burns through calories 10x the normal amount or he will starve to death in a matter of hours. This can work in his favor however as this makes him immune to many toxins and poisons, and any beneficial substances he consumes activates much more rapidly. He also suffers from migraines as a result of the high amounts of electrical energy pulsing through his neurons. The sudden activation of his powers coupled with his lack of control makes his mood highly volatile and should he become stressed or angry, he discharges overwhelming amounts of electric energy. Though water directly does not harm him, if he is doused while exhibiting his powers, he will short out and thus black out.
Biography: The manifestation of Jacob's powers was relatively recent and tragic. His whole life, the entirety of what he did was heavily governed by his mother, an estranged religious fanatic. She believed that he was the product of some demonic possession having been abused by a stranger 23 years ago. The trauma from her incident and obsessive contortion of her religious beliefs, she attempted to kill him. The threat of death and the overwhelming fear manifested in the first explosive representation of his power. An immense electromagnetic discharge incinerated most of house while all the electrical equipment in the surrounding few blocks shorted out or exploded. He woke up in a hospital room in ICU shortly thereafter. The doctors, surprised that he was fully healed having come in with 3rd degree burns on 92% of his body in a matter of hours prompted the idea of mutation. Though he had heard of it, he had never seen or experienced it first hand. To him, he was a monster of demonic proportions. For the next few days, the doctors kept him under heavy sedation having to constantly pump bag after bag of nutrients into his body. The sedatives were meant to work as a mood stabilizer given that his body burned through it at remarkable speeds. Should be leave the hospital, he would die of starvation in a little over 5 hours. He escaped three weeks later after hearing of a school and appeared on Helix's doorway soon after close to starvation and suffering from severe PTSD.
Appearance: His body undergoes many physical stages depending on his hour of feeding. Should he be closer to the 5 hours, he appears emaciated and thin. However, if well fed he is a tall but thin kid around 6'2". His head is adorned with several soft brown curls that more or less create their own hairstyle every time he tries to tame it. His deep dark brown eyes betray a sense of loss and fear that must be kept at bay lest he release the overwhelming amounts of electricity that is stored within his cells. His olive complexion is the only deterrent from people believing that he is of Grecian decent; in reality being Hispanic though the pigmentation can fade away if he is too hungry. He has no preferred clothing.
Personality: Jacob is a recluse. He does not like physical contact and reacts violently to anyone who touches him more out of fear of what he might do to him as he does not want a repeat to the fate of his mother. He prefers to stay to himself and almost never comes out of his room unless it is for meals. More information is required for further analysis. Notably suffers from PTSD.
I would assume that his primary goal is finding a safe house. Being kept at home his whole life, I would assume that he doesn't have much of an education. I am considering placing his former whereabouts/upbringing at the very least in the deep south, possibly Bourbon Street area in New Orleans or Mississippi if I consider something more conservative. Though a recluse, school is something that he is curious about since he has only heard about it before. He is indeed a recluse but sometimes his curiosity gets the best of him. Being sheltered his whole life, he is curious about many things including classes, food and even romance.
Likes: He loves to imagine things. He is by the very definition, a daydreamer and seeks to share his creations through mediums such as painting and drawing though because some of his work conveys personal endeavors and/or tragedies, he can be reluctant to share them with just anyone. He loves to explore whatever place he can as he is curious about the world. If his mind is calmed (far from it) he can think and obtain knowledge nearly photographically and this pleases him. There is a whole new world for him to discover out there so finding the answers may be his passion.
Dislikes: He dislikes surprises and conflicts and most definitely crowds. He can tolerate smaller classrooms but feels as if people are staring/judging if surrounded by too many others especially when walking into the halls. In order to curb this fear, he needs someone to protect him even if he is tall and intimidating with his power. Having extreme empathy for all things, he dislikes people being hurt especially when they are defenseless. He feels he can relate to them. He heavily dislikes anything about religion (because of traumatic experiences) and the sight of such objects of faith can sometimes trigger episodes. His privacy is HIS and HIS alone and thus does not care for people impeding on it. Though he is empathetic, he is also vindictive with a touch of darkness in his heart. His episodes can become extreme manifesting in anger and electrical outbursts. He also, most gravely dislikes his abilities. I forgot to mention that since he cannot control the electrical output, anyone who touches him can be severely shocked so therefore he has obtained a Rogue-like mentality. So he hates physical contact.

- Are you keeping Jacob as a student even though he's
223 twenty-three? If so, how would you like his education to be handled since he's a recluse? - I know you're purposefully leaving the personality section open-ended (although keep in mind this is a school/safehouse and not a lab for researching mutants), but even so, I'd like more information on him beyond his current status as a recluse. Likes, dislikes, perceptions of the world, etc.

Also Jaime, out of curiosity, how's Jacob kept fed? Does he know he needs to eat, or is he fed through a tube? I have a character with a similar problem(I'm not including him since he's purely a skin changer) and hence I'm curious about it.

So I want to update, Wyndi dear, but I guess I'm a little bit confused. What exactly do you want added? Do you think it's just a bit glossed over, simplistic and should be explained further and with more situational details or what are you looking for? Sorry if this seems like a dumb question but maybe if I was more confident in knowing what you were asking for, filling in more information on my character might seem less difficult and confusing?

JJX You're all set! I just wanted to know whether he'd be okay in a classroom setting at Helix. If he's as uncomfortable as you say, Helix would definitely accomodate him by putting him in a smaller class or perhaps even letting him be taught one-on-one. Anyways, I'll add him to the roster ASAP!
--
mdf2711 (whoops just saw your post!) Yes, I thought the personality description was a bit simplistic. I got a good sense of Silas's basic archetype and his aspirations, but nothing more specific about what he's actually like in terms of traits. If you could flesh that out a bit, that would be great!
