ZiotsuHi! Are we wanting to do forms/little mini summaries or describe through RP? Also, are there any particular directions you wanna go in in terms of their powers?

I dont mind either way. I have about 2 abilities for my character. Illusion and energy absorption (like he could get more energy from the world around him, he cant use it for anything other than what you would do for normal human stuff or using his illusion ability if that makes sense)

(Okay cool I’ll think of some decent powers for my girl
And in terms of forms we can just do a faceclaim picture (if you feel like doing that you don’t have to) and a mini summary of the characters)

I can see about finding a face claim for him. Might take a minute since I never had to look for one. Did we want realistic or drawn?

[Yeah no problem don't worry too much about it.
My girl has enhanced speed, agility and reflexes but I just can't think up a good name for her. The best I've got right now is Atalanta, a figure from mythology, and tbh that's a bit niche and not really the coolest superhero name. I have a couple of other ideas but none of them sit well enough]

Oh my character is named Jamie outside of his villainy and Opaline while doing his villain stuff. I might have found something good. The eyes are supposed to be green and he's supposed to have a few more freckles but I think this is a pretty close faceclaim. there's also the issue that he aint photogenic at all but whatever xD i.pinimg.com/236x/d5/73/d9/d573d99be7c7619185a564a2b655c881.jpg

[Ooh, okay, he's interesting. I like the name Opaline. Okay I'm just gonna go with Atalanta because I don't feel creative.
I'm getting a little info for her up in a moment]

Name: Nicole 'Nikki' Kearney Alias: Atalanta Age: 22 Powers: Enhanced speed, agility and reflexes By day, she is a schoolteacher. By night, a superhero. Nikki is tall with an athletic build, looking almost exactly as one would expect a hero to look. Her superhero outfit is in the style of armour and is silver, but it is made of a much lighter material to allow her to run easily without any trouble. She is a very hard worker, pushes herself with everything she does. She is always working or doing something, and in fact, she's almost afraid to slow down her fast-paced life. She is competitive and can sometimes be impatient and impulsive. She is, however, very intelligent and passionate.

I should probably include more information as well, sorry. I dont have a form way of putting it down though.
Jamie is just a few months shy of 22 years old. His main hobby is photography which he also uses for work, taking pictures of whatever he could to sell online and also provide his photography services to anyone who might need it. He is a bit short for a male of his age, but pays no mind to it as he can function perfectly well without being 6 feet tall. His abilities are creating illusions and absorbing the energy around him. The latter power causing other issues in the sense that he accidentally absorbed three other ghosts and they all now kinda live together in the same body cause no one knows how to reverse what happened. Out of the three there is the oldest Corin who died at 39 years old, the second oldest, Richard, who died a few days after his 21st birthday and the youngest Melody who died when she was 8. His villain outfit is not super fancy compared to his counterpart, as he paid more mind on making it functional for moving around quickly and quietly. He has a pure black full face mask that he automatically changes colors depending on which of the four is taking care of the villain stuff at the moment. He wears a long sleeved turtle neck and gloves both the same black color. He does this so in case someone is able to pull off his mask he can change his face to look like anyone he can think of. The brightest colored item he carries is a green string backpack with food, water, any items he needs for that particular night, and some disposable cameras. On his belt is two gun holsters cause no matter how confident in his ability to create illusions, he still needs a physical item to threaten others. He wont lie, however, he wishes he put more effort into his costume cause Atalanta looks a lot cooler.

[Don't worry, you honestly don't have to do everything I do, it's just my personal way of sorting out the character in my head. He seems cool, though.
Also I'm gonna age Nikki down to 22 just so they're closer in age. I know we're not going with romance (at least not to start with) but the dynamic is just better if they're almost the same age]

I just felt like us both having the same info on both our characters would help with any form of future planning or anything like that. He is one of my favorites to rp (though sadly I don't get a lot of opportunity to rp him) Okay, that sounds like a plan. idk if you wanted to start or I can start. I don't care whichever way.

(my starter posts tend to be a lot longer than my normal posts just to warn you.)
Jamie wandered around his mostly empty apartment, dust still on the counters and windowsill from the time between the previous owners living here and now. At this point he was waiting for his stuff to arrive in a truck, it coming from quite a ways away from a storage unit that previously held all the stuff he had inherited from his parents. It should only take another twenty minutes at most. For now, he was searching the apartment up and down for any hiding spots, places with drafts to fix later on, and a place for him to place his... 'uniform' for his 'work'. He ended up finding a corner of his bedroom closet to place it in until he had more hiding spots via his furniture. All the while, he mumbled to himself and the other three about plans for dinner, if they were going to go shopping or just order take out for their first night here. Of course the youngest, Melody, would be happy to go to a buffet to pick literally everything she could possibly want. Normally Corin would suggest they eat in, but today he seemed perfectly happy with eating out. "But where?" Jamie muttered, fiddling with his phone while waiting for their truck. "..Mcdonalds! We can get nuggets" Melody almost immediately said, Jamie chuckled, though shaking his head. Before he could get any sort of reply, Corin added "As much as you want to, Mcdonalds is terrible for you and we should at least attempt to be somewhat caring about our health." "Who cares if it is healthy or not. It's still food and it is better than eating nothing. If we go for 'healthy' like you say we are never going to find anyplace we all want to eat at." Jamie had to agree to Richard's remark, keeping quiet for a while as the three of them argued every place from a full restaurant to going to a fast food place. "Let's just get pizza" He finally added to the conversation, though almost immediately regretting his suggestion when Richard and Melody started to argue over what toppings. "I'm just going to order pineapple and sausage pizza anyways, so stop the arguing." Not too long after their conversation, Jamie got a call from the movers that they were starting to bring things up, so Jamie propped open his door, standing outside to wait for the movers to arrive.

Nikki Kearney had learned that enhanced speed was excellent when it came to getting boring chores like cleaning out of the way, as were her superior reflexes; only a few moments ago she had been able to catch a vase she’d knocked over almost instantly. Nothing shattered in her house. And now she was just finishing up with some vacuuming, going over the last dusty spots on the floor as quickly as her powers allowed her. She never had any patience for chores.
As she shut off the vacuum she thought more about her powers. She had noticed over the last week or so, maybe longer, that her nemesis Opaline had been awfully quiet. She didn’t like it. Not only did it mean she didn’t get to spend as much time as usual in her superhero persona Atalanta, but it also meant he might be planning something. She didn’t really trust it, she preferred when she knew exactly what the villain was up to, it made her feel much more comfortable.
But still, she didn’t really want to think about that. Now was time for her to sit down with a glass of wine and her marking; she had a lot of homework assignments to grade for her students. She didn’t want the work to pile up, and it made her look bad to her class if she didn’t return their work promptly. All she had to do was get rid of the last bits of trash into the chute outside.
She was just emptying said trash into the chute in the hallway when she saw a man she didn’t recognise standing outside of the apartment across the hall. She finished tipping out the last bits of rubbish before she addressed the stranger.
“I didn’t know I would be getting a new neighbour today,” the woman said with a smile “Hi, I’m Nikki Kearney. Welcome to the building.”
Should she do the neighbourly thing and invite him in for a glass of wine or cup of coffee or something? She wasn’t really sure. It seemed like the right thing to do but to be honest she had kind of been hoping for a quiet evening.

Jamie had been lost in thought for a few minutes while he stared down the hall to the elevator. He was hoping he didn't have to stand around too much with nothing to do other than talk between the four of them. The noise of someone opening their door and the sound of falling trash pulled him back to reality and his gaze now followed the woman who apparently lived just across the hall. "Hm?" He started with when she-apparently Nikki-spoke to him "Oh well I tend to not like to attract too much attention to myself" He wouldn't add the fact that the reason is that he would rather not be thrown in jail when he had so much stuff left to do and a stupid mob boss equivalent to appease. "So I'm not surprised you didn't hear about it. I'm Jamie, by the way. Nice to meet you" He was trying to take in as much information about his new neighbor that he could in these few small moments. She was nice, she seemed to have a bit of an extroverted nature as she spoke to him almost immediately, and.... you should get to know her! Melody demanded, quite loudly at that. Jamie had no idea where this had come from, he always knew that Melody loves to get to know anyone and everyone that they come in contact with when they were not Opaline.

“Ah, well that would explain it,” Nicole nodded “nice to meet you, too.”
She brushed a little hair behind her ear absent-mindedly as she thought for a moment. He seemed like a decent guy. Clearly not extremely extroverted, considering his comment about not wanting to draw attention to himself - unless her initial impression was wrong. He seemed like he would be a good neighbour, and at least he didn’t seem to be a serial killer or something so she was probably okay. Not that she couldn’t take him if he did happen to be a serial killer. She’d just...prefer to avoid the hassle if she possibly could.
So, she supposed she ought to suggest something. He might not want to, but it would be polite of her to offer, as a formality if nothing else. It might be nice for them to chat; he was the only person close to her age in the building, really. Even if she didn’t invite him in, she could offer to help him move his furniture into his house. That would be a helpful thing, right?
So she looked back at this Jamie guy after her moment of thought - it felt like a long time but she was pretty sure she’d only been silent for a second or two, hopefully not long enough for it to have gotten awkward.
“Well, I was just about to sit down with a glass of wine. If you wanted some, or a cup of coffee, you’re free to join me. Or if you need a hand moving your things in, I would be totally happy to help you.” she offered

Jamie was shocked by her suggestion, not making much of an effort to hide it. Most of the time he didn't hear much about helping with something like moving, even from the family who's home he had been living in for the past ten or so years. "Thank you, but the moving company is bringing all my stuff in, for the most part it's just going to be a slow roll on unpacking everything for the next few weeks" He gave a smile to her at the same time, hoping she wouldn't now try to insist she help for whatever reason. It would be bad if she came across his gear in his bedroom as well, as that is some pretty incriminating evidence that would land him in jail at the very least. "Plus I would feel bad for interrupting you evening just because I happened to move in today" That last part was about 90 percent a lie, in reality he also needed to continue planning his next move, as it was set for this weekend, and he would have to take a lot of effort to pull it off without getting seriously injured or caught right away. "But I do have a pizza coming a bit later if you want a few slices. I probably wont be able to east it on my own anyways"

“Pizza? I wouldn’t complain. Why not bring your pizza round my place when it arrives? I’ll set up a few snacks to go with it, I might even have some garlic bread to go in the oven.” the girl suggested “I honestly don’t mind, I was only going to be doing some work stuff and if we’re going to be neighbours we might as well get to know one another a little. If you’d prefer, though, I can bring said garlic bread over to your place.”
If he did come round she would have to make sure anything that might reveal her true identity was well concealed. Not even the most trusted people in her life knew she was Atalanta and she certainly couldn’t trust Jamie; she knew nothing about him.
She didn’t mind if he would prefer they eat in his apartment, but she still felt that she might as well make an effort to suggest her place. She knew how stressful moving could be and having an alternative place to spend time when it was needed made the whole process easier. Taking breaks from the moving and unpacking process was really important to keep your sanity.
Plus, at his place she wasn’t sure if they would literally just be sitting on cardboard boxes at this point. She didn’t really know much about what his situation was.

Jamie was about to open his mouth to state he didn't quite mean to make it a 'let's add stuff for snacks' but instead a 'here's a few slices, enjoy your evening'. Instead he just gave another smile and nod, not really wanting to argue with how excited Nikki seemed to be getting "Alright, are you okay with pineapple and sausage? That was my plan but I am cool with changing it to something not so controversial if you want it that way" he said "Though my apartment is currently empty, actually the movers are bringing the stuff up now so I wouldn't have much more than a bunch of boxes and furniture shoved in corners. Probably not the most comfortable space to eat in. Though I could probably put the table in a spot where we could eat if you would rather that" As if on queue, the people who were bringing up his stuff had come through the elevator down the hall with the larger items such as an old looking couch and pieces of a bed frame. He would probably have to go down before too long to get some of the smaller boxes, that would be something to discuss because the movers might want him up here to direct where everything should go.
