[ oml I haven't even thought about plants and food and sustainability for the station yet XD ]
yeah... a large hydroponic system wouldn't require much gravity at all... OOOH the hub of the station could have a lower gravity(b/c it sure as heck ain't gonna spin as much as the rings) and it could be super green and.. planty. if that makes any sense at all. That'd be a pretty cool setting, and also would make for a really cool Floris Festival(it's being held in the square/hub). ]]
Also also, we can always just say that the station receives various resources and supplies from biodomes set on actual gravitational bodies(aka the moons of Saturn). Don't know how many of those would be good candidates, though. Titan, for sure. Others I am not so well familiar with so might have to do a bit of research there ]]]

[ I've only gone through Physics I and calculus BC so far... definitely not a 'math and science' person, though.. not because I dont like them but because i know for a fact that i wont be using them later in life. ]
So far the only useful thing I've used physics for is having those random occurrences of "oh, that's why that happens" and ofc trying to implement the tiniest of logic into a fictional space station xD ]]

(Don’t worry about it Semp!
I have too many Science credits lol. I love pathology, biology, and chemistry. I have classes directed towards independent research too, and we compete internationally with our projects(granted we advance far enough). I worked with a fungal pathogen one year and went to I-SWEEEP, which was totally cool.)

(My passions = Science.
When I explained being Ace to my family, some people were like ‘well if you did fall in love, would you at least marry’.
I was like ‘hell nah be-ach, I got goals and those don’t include splitting my life up for someone else’.)

[lmao you sound a lot like my sister. She says she'll only marry if she found her true soulmate and is always talking about not wanting kids xD ]
her passions lie in science as well. She's going into her senior year at MIT and wanted to be an astrophysicist. I know that she's getting a degree in that area, but I think she was also veering towards (I have no idea something to do with plants) ]]

(Botany?
Probably Botany and Ecology. Both deal heavily with the Environment Sciences.
Curious question here, but how does disposal work on the station, basically, how do they handle trash?)

[ eek lemme bring out my thinking cap... ]
Well I'm saying all water is filtered and reused like it is on the ISS, but obv on a much larger scale, so there's probably a few rooms throughout the station dedicated to that. Maybe one on each ring, actually? ]]
As far as waste goes... having a zero waste life(or closer) would actually make the most sense to me.. or they just. burn it? idk honestly xD ]]]
Any ideas? Oh also just spout up anything that would be cool to add to the station b/c I love talking about ideas with people ]]]]

I love the way we all are just so comfortable with being snarky and joking with each other because that’s legit me in a nutshell.
and I’m nuts so that’s more fitting haha.
Super excited to get this up and going again, I honestly am very excited for this RP.)

(And he has been edited!) Tomás Delmarie - Male - 18 Years Appearance -Standing at 6'0" with a lean body shape, there isn't anything particularly stand outish about Tomás in terms of appearance compared to other people. However, wavy black hair and dark brown eyes are things that easily set him apart from his green eyed and blonde siblings. His lips, are usually pressed into a fine line and his eyes are cold, unimpressed with the world, almond shapes. His nose is shaped into a straight line and his tanned skin has moles dotted all over his skin. His brows seem to always be slightly furrowed as if he's constantly thinking. Tomás is usually dressed very nice and doesn't like looking anything less than so. Personality -Coming from a rich family, Tomás is very entitled and arrogant. He has a very powerful and explosive temper that he inherited from both of his parents and isn't afraid to tell people exactly how he feels. He expects most things to go his way and no other way. If you're brave enough to try and befriend him, he might actually warm up to you. In his own way of course. Having had to fight for his family's attention his whole life, Tomás is more willing to do something dangerous and brash to have someone look at him. He doesn't know how to not get himself in trouble anymore. Deep down inside, he's a very sweet kid. He just wasn't raised to be one. He lives in a kill or be killed world. Strengths -Quick on his feet and willing to do the hard and dirty work if it gets the results he wants. Speaking his mind and not beating around the bush. He has a very powerful sound wave blast if built up for a couple minutes. Weaknesses -Impulsive, stubborn, and tactless. He can be pessimistic and think people are out to get him. If he absorbs a sound for too long or moves the sound around too quickly, he starts to have a piercing headache. The louder the sound, the quicker and more painful the headache. Powers -Sound absorption/manipulation and sound wave projection. He can take sounds as loud as an explosion and manipulate them to his will. Such as absorbing the sound within himself, causing the explosion to seem non-existent or doubling it to sound like two explosions went off within one. He can also manipulate the source of the sound to make it seem as if its coming from a different direction. Lastly, Tomás can take even the smallest sound and make them into physical powerful blasts. Other - He's the lovechild between his rich father and his father's mistress. That's why he doesn't look like his siblings, why they don't consider him family, and why he holds a bit of resentment towards people around him.

I also really love the variety of their powers. We've literally got everything XD.
I should really explain the shape-shifting in depth in the description cause I know for a fact that it's not the normal type that people might be thinking of. It's including a lot of different aspects of bodily... morphing.]]

[ that's good. I'm thinking near the start(after his precognition is more developed) he'll just begin with being able to shift the physical properties of his skin(armored scales, claws, whatnot). Then he'll be able to manifest other cooler things like wings before actually being able to shift his appearance into other people, animals, whatnot.
It's kind of a mix of shapeshifting powers if I'm being honest xD ]]

Yeah.
I had a feeling, I’ve seen one other person use shapeshifting in specific areas for a character, it was pretty cool actually.
Skye’s going to start with the one that’s going to be hardest for her to control(probably), that being the voices in her head, hearing the thoughts of others. Sometimes if people mention a characaters thoughts or emotions or italics with thoughts, I’ll have her randomly think it up or tell said character to shut up and stop talking(making her look completely bonkers). However she can’t control what she hears, and at times she’ll start kind of getting so ran over by other thoughts that she’ll have trouble distinguishing her own.
Her easiest will probably be like the Telekenesis stuff, as odd as that sounds, because once she figures out she has it she’ll probably practice that a lot because she’s that kid who thinks it’s cool.
Her hardest thing will probably Astral form stuff, and I plan at one time for her to completely ‘die’ on a mission, where her body is unresponsive and her vitals kind of “just don’t” and she can see everyone as a ghost basically, an ex then come back once she realizes she’s actually dying.
But yeah, fun times ahead lol.)

Micah Even if it’s his body.
Micah grimaced, refusing to believe that Levi could be dead. Refusing to believe what was so possibly true. Various search parties had been sent out during the first few days of his disappearance, but they had all abruptly stopped after the quarantine.
“Yeah,” Micah said simply in agreement. He wanted more to happen in terms of an actual investigation, but all of the officials had called off everything beyond the fourth day. There wasn’t much any of the kids could do besides wait, and Micah had tried - to no avail - to bypass the quarantine in order to search for Levi on his own.
Even if it’s his body. The words had stuck with Micah, echoing malevolently throughout his foggy mind.
Micah had thought a lot about this, actually. The day before Levi was reported missing, the OASIS’ orbit was strikingly close to Titan. The station had been performing a close-approach in order to stock up on supplies from the biodomes of Saturn’s largest satellite. If anything, it seemed that this would’ve been the first place to look.
Skye narrowed her eyes, laying her head on the table for a moment, pushing her barely eaten plate back. “It just doesn’t make sense,” she pouted, realizing she was glaring daggers at the table, and let off a tiny whine and groan mixed together.
Why were her words just repeating back at her, even if it’s just his body, even if it’s just his body.
She found herself lifting her head back up, trying to clear it some.
Skye and Levi were friends, they worked together on stuff all the time, her tiny inventions were nothing compared to what Micah could do, but she always enjoyed it. She also had tons of fun when he would help her train. Josh was very calm most of the time, and was busy when she started wanting to learn how to fight. Cressida was way too nice and sweet, and Skye didn’t want to get her involved in it. Micah was busy with his projects as well. Tómas was rather rich, and while he would have been perfect for helping her out with fighting, she didn’t want to bother him, arrogant or not, she knew he had his own time, and with his family, he was probably busy most of the time. So Levi had helped her start off with fighting.
Her yearn to learn to fight was stemmed slightly from her protective nature, she had a great life, but her nature of living caused her to get into skirmishes, she would horseplay with her parents at times, but as a high school student, she never knew when she would need to use self defense.
It was partly because she felt weak too, before that point, she wasn’t exactly girly, but she felt like all her fights were fought by her friends, that they protected her, and that guilt increased tenfold. She didn’t want to be left alone by people because some guys and sweet girl came to her rescue. She wanted to be the one protecting them.
So she learned some self defense, and while Levi wasn’t the best with it, he still was there to help. After that, her parents got her a trainer, and she learned more in depth. The training about a week before Levi dissapeared.
It hrt, looking back on that now, and the jumbled messes of her mind increased again. But she ignored it, dragging her plate back over, and being the stubborn girl she was, concealing her upset, “The festival is coming up,” she noted, channeling her face to a calmer one.
She really she could get more sleep.
