the trainees;
Renee Grace Rajan ~ 17 has pyrokinesis, the ability to create and manipulate fire. she's always been rather proud of this fact and loves using it to her advantage, even if she's constantly reminded by her family and brother that doing so puts them all at risk. using it to fly is a favourite pass-time of hers but using it to fight is something she enjoys simply because she doesn't get to do so often. ᵒ ᵒ ᵒ Renee has always been protective of people, and not only of those she knows. Possessing what could definitely be classified as a saviour's complex, she's always ready to leap into danger to protect other people. Not only is she careless under pressure, but in most aspects of her life. She claims that since we all die eventually anyway, being cautious doesn't save your life it just makes it boring. ᵒ ᵒ ᵒ Renee is ruled by her emotions, not the other way around. She feels everything very strongly, and that's not limited to just her own feelings. She's very good at reading other people and their emotions and mirrors them with uncanny ease. She's never been very good at giving practical advice but she excels at emotional support for this very reason. ᵒ ᵒ ᵒ Passionate and strong-willed to the point of narrowmindedness, Renee has trouble seeing things from a point of view different from her own. She can easily understand how others feel about opposing opinions to her but seeing why is very difficult for her. She tends to be quite judgemental of people that disagree with her, and her temper often gets the better of her when her own opinions are questioned or criticised. ᵒ ᵒ ᵒ Renee strives to be as kind as possible. That, along with her seemingly boundless energy and warmth towards anybody she deems a friend makes her a person worth talking to. That's definitely a positive for her since she finds very little more fulfilling than a good conversation with a friend.
At 5'8", Renee is rather tall, especially for an Indian woman. She has a lean yet surprisingly strong build, a result of hard work gone into making herself physically stronger. When loose, her dark hair reaches her mid-back but she prefers to braid it or even just tie it up in a ponytail. She dresses in bright colours, most often a blouse and jeans, though she doesn't hesitate to knock out a nice dress every once in a while either.
Renee's family consists of her parents, both first-generation immigrants from India, and two older brothers, Andrew and Niall, who are four and six years older than her respectively. ---
Andrew William Rajan ~ 21 has the ability of hydrokinesis, the ability to generate and manipulate water. however, it's not an ability he likes to use and he would much rather just forget it exists than acknowledge it. he has no use for it in his everyday life so he hasn't used it since his teenage years. ᵒ ᵒ ᵒ Andrew is a quiet and reserved guy, one far more likely to carefully observe a situation from the sidelines rather than get involved. He's very perceptive and easily spots patterns, especially in human behaviour but also in the ongoings of his day to day life. While he has a knack for getting to know other people quickly, he's a difficult man to get to know as he's very private, especially when it comes to emotion as he's never really known how to adequately express them. ᵒ ᵒ ᵒ Andrew is incredibly hardworking. Whenever he starts a new project he dedicates himself entirely to it and doesn't stop until it's all planned out. However, he prefers to let other people do the dirty work. Running projects administratively has always been easier for him. As a child, that meant roping his sister into doing things for him while he instructed her on the specifics, but now that he has no one to convince to help him, he ends up working hard himself. ᵒ ᵒ ᵒ Relying on facts and logic is the way to go for Andrew. As a result, he's far more practical than creative. He likes to stick to his ways and rarely strays from routine unless he gets undeniable proof that what once worked no longer does. His fondness for facts and the truth also means he's completely uninhibited when telling it. He's straightforward and honest, putting aside the feelings of others to make his point. Winning a debate is far more important than sparing the feeling of others. ᵒ ᵒ ᵒ Andrew is very critical, both of himself and others. He wants nothing less than perfection from other people, but he expects far more from himself than anything else. His competitiveness reflects this perfectly as does the anger that seems to only rise after a job not perfectly executed. Luckily for him, he's patient, he doesn't mind doing something over and over until he gets it right as long as he knows that he will, eventually, get it right.
Andrew stands at 6' exactly, and he is of average build. He carries some muscle on him but not enough for it to be particularly impressive. Generally speaking, Andrew appears quite put together. His hair is cut short and his clothes are always neat. He mostly wears semi-formal wear, very rarely does he allow himself to wear something more comfortable.
Andrew grew up with a brother three years older than him and a sister four years younger, as well as with both his parents.
Benjamin 'Benny' Friesenhahn ~ 16 more on the athletic side but not so much martial arts. his power include agility, endurance, and flight. Benjamin is a Caucasian male, standing around 5'7" and quite thin. His face still hold a little bit of a child like innocence and is more on the narrow side. The first thing you notice about his face are Lee's eyes. They are icy blue, and seem to read what happens around him. His dirty blonde (occasionally looks more brown in certain lighting) hair can cover some of his eyes when he doesn't feel like asking for a haircut. If he ate more, Benjamin would look like the fighter type due to his broad shoulders. He normally wears a Letterman jacket that belonged to his older brother with skinny khaki colored jeans Benjamin is never one to ever open up about anything, if you ask him about his family, he will change the subject or give a smart a** reply. He is often one to observe rather than speak, but if you are to actually get him to talk much, he could either try to 'Get away' again or maybe grow closer. Benjamin is more likely to take a tactical approach to a situation before even thinking about jumping the gun. He hates being looked down upon for his age, getting his hair ruffled, or ignored. He's far more intelligent than he let's on at first, but that normally becomes more apparent as you get to know him. --- Mackenzie 'Kenzie' Burton ~ 19 telepathy and psychokinesis Mackenzie Burton is a Caucasian and Hispanic female, who stands around 5'5" in height, and weighs approximately 115 pounds. She has normally been on the more petite side of the scale and is finally growing more than when she did in high school. One could call her a 'late bloomer'. Mackenzie has a very straight figure, with very small curves and small hands and feet. Her fingers are thin, which help her using her art utensils. Mackenzie has a heart shaped face, and fair complexion. Her cheeks are a light pink, and her nose often gets freckles when exposed to sunlight for long periods of time. Her eyes are large, brown and almond shaped behind her black Vera Bradley glassed. Her eye lashes are dark, and it appears as if she is wearing mascara. Mackenzie has pink lips, and wears teal colored braces. One side of her mouth goes up a little more than the other, giving a slightly crooked yet charming smile. Her hair is often kept short, no longer than her chin. Her hair is dark brown, almost black, and very thick. It is often parted to the right, and some of her bangs like to fall in her face.
Mackenzie is often working on school or her video games. She is quite the video game nerd, though she doesn't look like she would be, people usually expect her to be the girl that spends too many hours of studying to have a life which she may or may not study that long. She often has to do something to keep herself busy or else she gets bored, sometimes getting her in trouble. But if she's too lazy, she'll settle for snacking on anything in the pantry. Mackenzie is usually happy, and go lucky when she isn't stressing about trying to meet standards she knows are impossible to reach. She is often very forgiving, and sometimes too forgiving for her own good. Mackenzie is also very loyal to those she loves and cares about, and though she will protect them if need be, she doesn’t want to see anyone hurt really. One thing she likes to do though, is she likes to joke a lot. And almost about anything. To make others laugh and herself laugh is her way of coping with new experiences and sometimes finds having people laugh with you about something stupid is better than laughing at you because of said stupid action.
the alliance;
Kian Cedric Ives ~ 46 ~ 'Razor' has no powers but does have extensive training in some half a dozen martial arts and just as extensive weapons training. received his name after he first took to the streets with dual blades strapped to his forearms but has also been known to, on rare occasions, pick up a gun or fight with blades actually held in his hands. ◦ risk-taker ◦ aggressive ◦ protective ◦ mild tempered ◦ loyal ◦ demanding ◦ extreme ◦ 'if you don't want to surround yourself with the family you were given, make your own, but always surround yourself with people who love you'
◦ takes the crude, often violent, way out 9 times out of 10. he's not reckless, he thinks things through, he just almost always reaches the conclusion that violence will solve his problems. ◦ everything a leader needs to be, but also mild-mannered and submissive. works much better in a team as a follower - or potentially lower level superior - and fails as a leader. ◦ demands a lot from people he works alongside, under or over. doesn't matter. this makes him a great teacher but can be exhausting for people around him. ◦ the living embodiment of the found-family trope. sees his friends and colleagues as family, almost more so than his own spouse and kids. ◦ seems to have no hobbies. ask him what he does in his free time and you'll get a weird look. spends most of it with his family - found or biological - training or reading ◦ takes things to the extreme. it's all of nothing, always. ◦ thrived academically before he became Razor. has a PhD in psychology and bachelor's degrees in behavioural sciences and english literature. seriously considered becoming both a high school english teacher and college professor in his field but, as usual, did something far more violent instead. now that his time is drawing to a close, he wants to return to his studies and teaching. ---
Joachim Elijah Lively ~ 46 ~ 'The Magician' has the ability to craft sensory illusions spanning all five senses - sight, touch, hearing, taste and smell. these are fully immersive and seem real in every way. being aware of them doesn't render them useless, but as they are just illusions, they can do no direct harm. running into an illusioned wall, for example, would hurt just as badly as running into a real one, but it wouldn't do you any physical harm and you'd pass right through. works best on top of things already there, like changing the appearance, smell, sound, etc, of things that are already existing.
◦ mischievous ◦ kind ◦ humorous ◦ restless ◦ hardworking ◦ 'my dear, if you can't make someone laugh, what's the point?'
◦ incredibly fond of biscuits - with or without tea, doesn't matter ◦ bakes. always has cookies at home just in case. ◦ sews, too. clothes, usually. it started with his first suit and has continued from there to where he now just sews his clothes for the fun of it. ◦ talks constantly. to himself, to others, to animals, to inanimate objects in his house. ◦ has few real friends but is friendly to most ◦ difficult to enrage, easy to amuse ◦ doesn't care how things go. avoids conflict (which makes life as a superhero difficult) but is incredibly loyal and will take sides to protect people and places he loves ◦ cries often. most of the time for no reason at all, sometimes because he wants to. private about anything that causes this, or any emotion other than joy. --- Elliot Fletcher ~ 45 ~ 'Hell Hound' has the ability to shift into any mythological creature of his choosing. most noted for turning into the well known three headed dog that lived with Hades • very honest
• blunt (basically has no filter)
• sarcastic
• strict
• loyal
• introvertive
"I'm not sarcastic, my mind is just too superior for your understanding."
• definitely not the kind of guy you would often see laugh or smile, but when he does, you should feel accomplished you made him do so
• he can't stand any generations that had come after him, nor why they all seemed so rebellious.
• used to live in a very strict household and still acts like he does. Even when he lived alone he acted as if his parents were blowing the whistle they used to carry around at him
• tends to drink lots, and lots of coffee but never seems to be more energetic
Carol Freeman ~ 56 ~ 'Jasmine' can harness her own energy to both heal and inflict damage • serious only in the most intense of situations
• motherly to an extent
• sassy
• fun loving
• protective
• extrovertive
"Girls just want to have funds."
• loves to read, play board games, and listen to anything by Elvis Presley
• horrible cook, unless you like Ramen.
• not exactly your average grandma, but don't tell her is or isn't. She likes to have her own opinions of herself. Others are just a waste of time
• normally flirty around other men her age
• never say she's too old or underestimate her when it comes to anything, you will regret it

took both of these straight out of my character storage lmao the other two will be a lot shorter (and actually bulleted). also, I just went ahead and gave them the powers they usually have but if you find issue with that just let me know and I'll move things around no problem!

alright cool ^^ Do you want me to post a starter here? Or do you want me to respond to our other rp and you make a starter here?

Post by 𝘨𝘰𝘭𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘴𝘶𝘯 on Mar 21, 2017 7:06:20 GMT -5
either way works for me! might be easier if you respond to the other one first, get things rolling quicker, but I don't mind waiting either.
before we do start here, though, I think there are a few details to be ironed out.
- what is the name of the superhero team the mentors are in?
- what kind of relationships do the mentors have? having worked together for so long we'll need to know what the established dynamic there is between them as any given pair and as a whole unit?
- how are the trainees contacted?
- where do they first meet?
- at what point in the story do we open up? with the trainees meeting, maybe?

• I'm not entirely sure about the name...what did you have in mind? • as for relationships, if you're talking about marriage wise, that's up to you. But if you mean like who's a better friend with who, I would say Carol and Jaochim would be good friends. But ad a whole I would think they're all close friends • I would say the trainees are all contacted in a different way. If you've read And Then There Were None then it would be like that where they are all thinking that they are going to a place for a different reason • where they meet up...I was thinking the actual hideout • yeah, where they meet

- I've no idea cx I just feel like they need one. just something like the Alliance works, it doesn't have to be fancy or mean much.
- I was thinking the latter, yeah. for the former, Joachim is single and Kian is married and has two kids (wife - Stephanie, 17yo daughter - Harper, 15yo son - Levi). back to the point, I could definitely see Carol and Joachim being good friends, and probably Kiam and Joachim too tbh. but they'd all be close, for sure.
- something separate for each of them definitely works! probably better than anything else could.

The letter had arrived a few days ago. Weekend adventure cruise for two! See the gulf and learn to rock-climb, all in one place! Given freely to five high school seniors who have shown exemplary behaviour and gotten great results for it! Bring a friend! At first, Renee had thought it ridiculous. There was no way it was real. After all, she'd never heard of it before. But after doing some digging, she found references to it on several websites online, and even got in touch with a boy who'd been invited the year before it. After doing the research, she knew exactly who she wanted to bring. Her brother.
She'd called him with the news and he'd been happy for her. She'd gotten him the necessary links and, after some talk, she convinced him. "It was just announced that my classes were all cancelled that Friday anyway," he'd said over the phone. "I just got the e-mail this morning. And besides, it would be nice to get out onto the water again, even if the rock-climbing seems a little much."
That was actually what had convinced her to ask him in the first place. Elemental powers ran in their family, her grandmother had been able to control the earth and rocks around her and she'd heard stories of a great-great-grandfather who could control fire, just like she could, but Renee and Andrew were the first to have someone else in the same generation. Two siblings had never before both been born like this. So she understood how fascinated he was by water, his element, and how odd it must be living inland, far away from any oceans or lakes.
He'd driven down the night before, for once excited to be back in his old home, and in the early morning, they'd driven down to the docks. The cruise ship was immediately visible, huge and looming. Yet it seemed inviting, perched lightly on the waves. By it stood three middle-aged men and a woman, slightly older, holding paperwork and chatting excitedly among themselves.
"Here goes," Renee said cheerfully before approaching, grabbing Andrew's arm as she passed to drag him along with her.
( so I was thinking the ship they both see is actually the hideout - a warehouse on the docks or something - masked by one of joachims illusions. the others would see it differently depending on what their reason for being there are. )

{Yeah I like that idea. For a good starter, I'm probably going to wait until I get out of school because I can't take too long to write a good reply and not get caught lol}

Mackenzie wasn't exactly sure why her parents wanted her to do something like this because of her abilities, but she wasn't about to disobey them either. She's already made them mad enough as it is for losing her new phone and for her 'attitude problems' when speaking to them. Whether she was just imagining she didn't have that sort of expression or not when speaking to her parents didn't matter. She lived under their roof, she went by their rules. If only she didn't spend all of her money on tuition for her community college then maybe she could have gotten her own place and worked elsewhere until she got enough saved up for proper schooling. But alas, it was not meant to be. So to make up for being a disappointment somehow, she was supposed to be sent to this school of sorts on the other side of the world for other people like her; as in people who had telepathy and psychokineses. No one in her family that Mackenzie knew of posses these powers and no one she knew besides those in other countries possessed her powers. Which was unfortunate really, but intriguing all the same. Who wouldn't want to say they were the only person in the United States (idk, I just put a random country unless you had something else in mind) who was sort of an actual magician. Just without the wand and actual witchcraft.
Mackenzie approached what appeared to be a small ferry out on the docks with two others standing by. Perhaps they came here because this was the only pick up point in the north western hemisphere (as it was supposed to take them to a larger ship) and were coming from possibly the Caribbean, Mexico, Canda, or Central America. But they didn't look like they came from any of those places she had noticed the close she had approached. She wasn't sure where exactly their ethnicity was but wasn't about to ask. She just wanted to get this over with quickly, and wipe the smiles off of the faces of the four middle aged adults standing in front of the boat, chatting amongst themselves and waving when they saw a new person come along.

Benjamin wasn't very surprised that his athletic abilities had been noticed by an English Profesional Soccer coach. While he wasn't offering him a spot on the country's team, he did want to speak with him in person after seeing videos of him play with astounding speed and agility that seemed to beat most people by a long shot. He would be lying if he said he wasn't excited or nervous, who wouldn't be for an oppritunity to get into college in England for free and then possibly end up in the World Series if he improved or kept up the work he did. His parents were of course all for him going, but found themselves unable to make the occasion due to something coming up last minutes with his mother's side of the family. But they truly had no reason to worry, there would be other boys there who would be receiving this opportunity as well. And girls? he thought to himself when he saw two young women, older than himself waiting on the docks. The taller one looked excited but the shorter girl looked like she would rather throw herself in the ocean than go. He had no clue what they were doing here, but wasn't going to question it. Benjamin had offended some girls before by making certain comments, and he surely didn't plan on doing it again. For his sake mostly.
But at least there were multiple adults here, and they appeared overall trustworthy enough. Benjamin shouldn't have to worry about that though, his mother called everyone she could who would be involved with watching over her son, being the overprotective parent she was. His father would like to protest against it, but she never seemed to stop no matter what. It was quite embarrassing actually, and who could blame him? Why would anyone want their mother coming to their sports games and shouting to them from the bleachers, "SWEETY DO YOU NEED A BANDAID?!" Benjamin's mother never seemed to grasp the concept of boundaries.

After exchanging a glance with the others, Joachim stepped forward, passing the papers in his arms over to Kian as he passed him. "Kids!" he exclaimed, clapping his hands together. "I think this is all of you. You've all gotten the information, I presume?" He didn't wait for an answer, mostly because they couldn't find out that they weren't here for the various reasons he'd given them. Not yet. That would throw this entire plan into jeopardy. "Why don't we go sit down inside and we can go over everything out of the coast winds?" Once again, he didn't wait for an answer and instead started walking, gesturing for the others to follow.
Renee glanced sideways to Andrew, who simply shrugged and followed. They'd done all the checking they'd have to, there was no reason not to trust these people. And on the water, in immediate danger, Renee had faith that Andrew could power his way through most anyone. Not to mention that she had some tricks of her own lined up if things got dicey.
They were led down a corridor - a brightly lit, nicely furnished one she noted - and into what appeared to be a conference room. "Have a little chat among yourselves," the same man that had spoken before said. "Make yourselves welcome, have a snack from the table over there. We'll be back in a few minutes to discuss things." This, too, was a part of the plan. If they could acquaint themselves with one another, things would be easier for them to handle later, when the truth about all of this came out.
( this was short and the POV was all over the place, sorry. they'll improve soon, when I'm not cooking, hopefully. )

Mackenzie followed after the others without a word, walking between the two males of her group, the older one in front and the younger behind her. From where she was, she couldn't get a glimpse of the older gentlemen and woman who had greeted then in front of the boat because they all seemed to walk in single file down the hallway that seemed much bigger than she would have expected for that of a small boat. Which felt a bit like elementary school but in all honesty she preferred it that way rather than having to walk beside someone she didn't get the chance to talk to yet or lagging in the back because she didn't know anyone. The older boy and the other girl seemed like they knew each other, considering they were talking earlier. She didn't think about it long though since they were led to a room branching off the hallway quickly and all seated around a table. At the mention of snacks though her stomach was on the verge of growling in hunger. She hadn't eaten much all day actually, as she was so anxious about the trip to even think about food. But now that she was here her hunger had quickly caught up to her.
Would it be embarrassing though to grab snacks when no one had introduced themselves? It might make her look like a pig. But Mackenzie had a tendency to over tendency think things like what she's doing right now. It would be best to just say something, and break the awkward silence that filled the room. She cleared her throat and looked around the room for a moment before actually speaking. "Well, um, howdy." She grinned sheepishly and spoke with that Southern accent she seemed unable to shake since she lived in Texas a couple years ago.
{Sorry I didn't do Benny, I just couldn't think of anything for him lol}
