Marks of Possibility(Sign-ups!)

[kalad1]

Mankind was at the height of it's technological power when it began to change. People began to be born with marks on the backs of their right hands, symbols of the extraordinary powers and abilities they possessed. Slowly, all of mankind began to develop these, and the age of Technology came to a grinding halt as people abandoned the long held traditions of their society. Society changed, slowly becoming loosely associated villages and cities, where people were taught to use their abilities to aid their fellow people.
It was discovered that each mark was not unique, but represented a type of power, some had marks that signified healing, some creation. Some of these marks however, came to gain a dark reputation.
These marks only seemed to appear on children when danger was approaching, and they were almost always combat oriented. The various religions that had popped up began to view these bearers of the marks not as a warning, but the source of the problem.
You live in the village known a Kattox, a fairly liberal village that is not in the grasp of these religions, yet many of the townspeople still fear you. You bear one of these legendary marks, and you know the power you bear with it.
Throughout the world, there have been sightings of people bearing strange weapons that launch incredibly fast projectiles, technology that was thought lost. These people have been systematically attackting their targets working towards their goal, and now they head towards Kattox.

Alright, to give you an idea of what I'll accept Mark-wise, I'm going to give you a few examples, if you wish to use one, feel free to.

Alchemy: the bearer of the mark of Alchemy is able to change the shape and composition of inanimate objects, the bearer could turn a wall into a door, or a stick into a sword, or a mass of dirt into a spear. The Alchemy mark looks like an ever changing shape, it's colors looking different all the time.

Dragon: The bearer of this mark may change portions of their body to be draconic in nature, covering it in scales, getting stronger, and growing claws and wings where appropriate, they cannot take a full dragon form though, remaining human in overall shape. The Dragon mark's appearance is that of a european dragon.

Focus:The bearer of this mark has two abilities, first off, they have complete control over their body's processes, making them able to do things such as neutralize poisons in their body or use just the right muscles to produce maximum effect. Secondly, they can, to a limited degree, aid the bodily processes of others, making this mark's bearer able to help people heal. This mark's appearance is that of a meditating person.

My guy!
Name: Dennis Loray
Gender:Male
Age: 21
Personality: Fairly nice and friendly, but he's also terribly blunt with the way he speaks things, he says them the way they are. He does have a bit of buried anger and depression left.
Appearance:He's about 5'7", with blue eyes and black hair to his shoulders, he has a fairly muscular build, he usually wears a grey short sleeved shirt with a pair of black pants.
Mark: Dragon.
Stuff: a house with fairly common furnishings, couch, bed, several chairs, a table, and a kitchen. In place of the now forgotten Refridgerator, there is an Ice box, a box designed to contain ice and food to keep it cold. On his person, he usually carries a utilitarian knife and a black and white locket.
History: His mother was originially raised in one of the more extreme religions, so when Dennis was born, she took him home and set the house on fire, intent on killing Dennis for his "evil" mark and herself for bringing him into the world, his father, however, managed to get Dennis out of the fire, but died from the injuries he sustained when fighting his mom to get to him. Ever since then, he's been a sort of community child, everyone took care of him. He went into an angry, depressive phase when he learned of what happened to his parents, which he recently came out of.
Other:*rips other apart with dragon claws*

[Crystal Tears]

Name: Chase Omen
Gender: male
Age: 20
Personality: He seriously needs anger management, because once he gets angry, nothing cans top him. And his mark doesn't help the situation. Ever since the accident in his old village, Chase has turned emotionless, and uncaring. Though he can seem like a nice guy. He can quicly turn into a Jerk, wanting nothing mroe then to destroy everything.
Appearance:His hair resembles trunks(when he has long hair) but its not purple! It's blonde, it hides most of his face, but when his face shows, you can see he has tan skin, and really bright blue eyes.
He has a slight build on him, but not overly, so he looks thin, and somewhat lanky. He's 6'3, and usually wears a black t shirt, and black slightly baggy cargo pants.
Mark: Demon: The mark of the demon allows the bearer to do a couple of things. The first is sprout raven wings and turn half demon which techniquely means dagger like teeth, and eyes that are on fire with a blue flame. Allowing the bearer to fly. another is they can use a Shadow Fling ability. A small distructive ball of "shadow flame" that creates a small explosion. The Demon Mark is not well liked, not even other bearers tend to like it. The Demon mark resembles a eye with the pupil on fire. The Demon mark as makes the bearers eyes glow bright blue, and if angered catch on fire with a blue flame. Which apparently does nothing to or for the bearer.
Stuff: He doesn't own much, a well crafted and designed dagger, a neckless with a golden cross. He owns a small house, with a the nessicaries. Though no one visits him, he has no need to buy anything else.
History: He lived in a small village with his family, he was happy, probably becasue no one knew of his mark. As these people were heavy believers that the bearers were the problem. One day, a man found out about Chase's Mark. And called him a demon. Chase, not being able to control his temper, killed the man with his bare hands.
Knowing that this mark could do nothing but evil. Chase decided to embrace its dark powers. And use them to his advantage, he now wanders. Though, its been 5 years. He still remembers when he killed that man.
Other: Since the accident, people are afraid of him, and leave him alone in his house. That is why, he never found is nessisary to buy anything more then what he needed.

[Chrono Storm]

Name: Charmenicon "Char" Varnor
Gender: Male
Age: 15
Personality: Pretty easygoing. He's a bit of a dork, and loses his head around pretty girls, but he's dependable and chivalrous. He'd never, ever hurt a lady(on purpose), no matter what side she was on. He's a fierce fighter when he's pushed to it, but he generally avoids fighting. He's friendly with animals. Though in public he seems to live to make people laugh, when on his own he's rather solemn. He cries himself to sleep at night.
Appearance: Thin, and about 5'9. He's somewhat pale and has wild shoulder-length brown hair that he tries to tame by pulling it back in a ponytail. He wears a black leather jacket over a blue shirt, tight blue jeans, and black boots. His eyes are gold, which gives him a rather dangerous appearence. He has a prosthetic right leg, which is explained in his history.
Mark: Animal Alchemist. In addition to transmuting inanimate objects, it gives you the ability to understand and talk to animals. The downside is that when using regular alchemy, you can't transmute an object outside its elemental level(like, you could transmute sand into a spear but not a loaf of bread) or its mass(like a piece of paper into a giant sequoia). Also, trying to transmute living things(either fusion or from scratch) has dire consequences. The mark for this is a Flamel (a crucified snake).
Stuff: A metal and wood walking stick to transmute into whatever, a few plants to transmute into food, and a labradoodle(labrador/poodle mix) named Vence.
History: His parents were supportive of his ability, and encouraged him to help the townspeople with his alchemy. However, one time he and a friend tried to fuse two insects and, in a freak rebound, accidentally fused his best friend and one of the insects together. The transmutation favored the insect, and the boy suffocated due to a chronic lack of lungs. His power was seen as a danger to the town and almost killed, but his dog(then a stray) defended him, and he escaped with his life... if not his leg. He then took to wandering from town to town after he got his prosthetic.
Other: *transmutes stick into axe and axes other*

Crystal Tears: good job! you're accepted.
Chrono Storm:Your mark needs a little work, I'll PM you.

[PS100]

Name: Reiken Yatar

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Personality: Easygoing, laidback, and calm are people's favorite words when describing Reiken. He is rarely ruffled by anything, and doesn't sweat the small stuff. Unlike most people, he can see the big picutre, at the expense of missing out on the details. He is a dependable warrior, and if anyone ever needs something, he'll get it for them. One of his only weaknesses is the fact that he spends far too much time thinking things over, which may be an aftereffect of his Mark.

Appearance: Tall and thin, about 6'3" and 175 lbs. His face is long and thin, dominated by his large eyes and wide mouth. He sports a pointy goatee that his friends claim can be used to kill people. He wears a dingy brown trenchcoat, and a leather hat in the style of an army recruit's. He wears random t-shirts under that, but wears the same pair of jeans and dark, stained boots everywhere. (for those who care, he looks a lot like Grit from Advance Wars) Also wears a glove over his right hand, which bears his Mark.

Mark: The Mind. This imbues the Marked person with intense telekinetic power, most of which is powerful enough to be used to gather items from a distance. The items can also be flung at near-sonic speeds, and weapons like swords can be made to hit harder. However, this power is ineffective against humans or animals, unless you are hitting them with something. The symbol for the Mind is an eye.

Stuff: a claymore, a sharp stone that he uses to fling at people with the effects like being shot, a small amount of food and money

History: Born in Kattox to a poor family, Reiken was seen to be special from the beginning. As such, his parents named him as they did, using the old Japanese for "Spirit of the Sword." Ironically, he took an interest in the handguns of old, studying them and learning how they killed. He found a sharp rock, and since has used that as his primary weapon. The people of Kattox have yet to find out about his powers, because he wears a glove to cover his Mark.

Other: *kills other with the rock*

[Rocketboy]

Name: Leon Calt
Gender: male
Age: 16
Personality: Nice and nervous, he is quick to anger and immedeantly tries to attack whoever gets on his nerves.
Appearance: Brown Hair, Black shirt with an orange vest, and blue jeans
Mark: Alchemy
Stuff: He owns a house with normal house stuff because of his powers.
History: When Leon was born, he felt shunned from the others and was smarter than he was for his age. He remembers people staring at him when he was 5 and all the children keeping away from him. EVentually, his parents died from a car accident, and Leon felt he could no longer control his anger and used his powers to transmute grass into a sword, and killed a boy who kept on pushing him around. Afraid, he used alchemy to create a door, and escaped to an unknown area.

Chrono Storm: okay... be aware though that any prosthetic is going to be on the level of a peg leg.

PS100:accepted

Rocketboy: your big problem is you're mixing up technology's level in this world. if you went into this world and tried to get a car, you'd fail, they don't exist anymore. Also, beef up his appearance, I would like some more detail.

[Arnen]

Ok, I'll edit my form into this post, but here tis me mark:

Cold: The bearer has the ability to freeze the water molecules in the air at will. This ice can be moved around and shattered with the mere will to do so. They can also slow down the molecules of stationary, inanimate objects (rocks, earth, etc., not plants though) to the point of freezing.

Just so nobody steals mah idea.

I too will finish my sign up later, but i want my mark ><;

Name: Mitsukai Hirra
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Personality: A little quiet at times although she loves to help people. She tends to get herself out of sticky situations by being shy and quiet so she can slip away without anybody noticing. On a good day and around people she knows, she's a lot more open. Some days she hides her mark, but more recently she hasn't been ashamed of it. She enjoys the freedom of flight. She's rather artistic and uses that to express herself.
Appearance: She's japanese, about 5'6'' and of an average build. Her eyes are an odd blue; the kind that make you want you to know more. Her hair is black with purple highlights and down just past her sholders. He clothes are mostly loose and dark in colour. Most of her t-shirts have 2 holes in the back from where her wings have ripped through them when in use.
Mark: Angel: The mark allows it's bearer to fly using angelic feathery wings. It also allows her to heal herself or others but results in her having a huge lack of energy. The mark's appearance is that of a feather.
Stuff: Shares a house with 2 roommates, owns one of the bedrooms, furnature within the house... Lots of paint and stuff like that. Food, money... I'll add more when i think of it -_-;;
History: She got thrown out of her home town when she was 16 because they found out about her mark. They thought it was a bad omen to the town. Even her parents disowned her. She went to Kattox, hoping for a fresh start. Luckily, she had this new start and was taken in by her roommates. She is often found on the roof of her house thinking. Most people think she climbed from her window up there. Nobody, that she is aware of, knows of her mark.
Other: *grabs other, flies up with it and drops it. feels sorry for it and tends to it's needs*

[Arnen]

~Name: Raye Jeya
~Gender: Female
~Age: 19
~Appearance: She's rather tall and pale, with white hair that hangs straight down to about mid-back length. A few strands curl about her cold, ice-blue eyes. She wears a plain white cotton shirt with wide elbow-length sleeves, dove-grey long wool pants, and a long triple-layer fleece scarf of black and grey, with white in the middle showing only at the fringe at both ends. She also has a pale grey sort of slanted half-skirt over her pants, starting at her left hip and going diagonally to halfway down her right thigh. She wears heavy leather boots that go halfway up her calves.
~Personality: She has a dry and sarcastic sense of humor and is not one for useless shitchat. She is incredibly intelligent and hates being treated like a "lady" by men who think they're superior. She is very adamant in her opinions and has an often unbridled temper, but even when she feels like hitting someone, she usually will hold back and try to confuse them with "big words," is she doesn't just ignore an agressor. She opens up to few, but makes friends relatively easilly if she really wants to.
~Mark:
Cold: The bearer has the ability to freeze the water molecules in the air at will. This ice can be moved around and shattered with the mere will to do so. They can also slow down the molecules of stationary, inanimate objects (rocks, earth, plastics, etc., not plants though) to the point of freezing.
~Stuff: She carries basically just a little money in her pockets and some food, rope, and candles in a leather sack she slings over her back.
~History: She wanders from town to town, mugging people for their money so she can afford to stay in inns or threatening and/or flirting with the innkeepers (hey, just cuz she's not ladylike doesn't means she can't flaunt what she's got!). She cant remember her parents, or any family for that matter, and assumes they were unmarked and resented or hated her for it, so they abandoned her.
~Other: *gives other the icy stare of death and watches it slowly suffer*

[kalad1]

both accepted, assuming all goes well, we shall start next monday, I have finals this week.

[kalad1]

this RPG should start around the 8th, when I'm settled back in at college

[Darkmaster Kagemusha]

Hey kalad, I remember you telling me about this on AIM, though at the time I was somewhat distracted so I didn't get all of what you said. This seems like a really cool RPG, and so I'm gonna sign up, if it's not too late. You can just IM me if something's wrong with my sign-up **shrugs**.

Name: Gabriel Kyo
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Personality: He's normally a pretty gentle person, showing compassion quite often, but in his mind, he's actually a calm strategist, and so sometimes when he's thinking, he lapses into a demeanor of cold-heartedness.
Appearance: Gabe is about 6'1" tall, has stringy, dark-brown hair that's somewhat long, but in a scraggly way, and has very dark brown eyes with black flecks in them. He's not ugly, not handsome, and yet not average at the same time--he possesses an intriguing face that is strange, but not threatening, and seems to make people want to open up to him. He always wears a large, deep-red hooded cloak that he made himself, complete with a wide assortment of pockets within it, and his other clothing is generally a white sleeveless shirt and baggy, faded khaki pants, as well as some old leather boots.
Mark: Soul--This mark gives its bearer nearly overwhelming empathic and telepathic abilities, giving them the capablity to hear others' thoughts, as well as feel their emotions. This mark can be used for good or evil, because it gives its bearer the ability to drag someone inside their mind and control their entire world for what seems like years, when only taking seconds in reality, or it can be used to calm or soothe, or to talk to people while they are asleep or in a coma. Due to the mark's empathic connections, it makes its bearer have a good habit of listening to other people's problems and connecting with them. The bearer can also turn the mark on themselves in order to concentrate their mind on one thing. The Soul mark looks different to everyone, reflecting their soul as he sees it, though it is always some almost tribal-looking design.
Stuff: He carries a plethora of odds and ends from old, broken bits of machinery, as well as some money, two old kunai that he keeps sharp and uses for a variety of things, some tools for general survival, and an odd, wide assortment of chains of many sizes hanging inside of his cloak, making it jingle and clink while he walks, and also making it move very little in wind.
History: When he was little he always kept to himself, as he was very unpopular, and only a few people--the shy ones--would talk to him, and they confided in him, trusting him as a good source of advice and knowledge, all of which he gained by watching all of those around him, figuring out how they operated. One day, when he was 8 years old, a group of children decided they were going to pick on him even more, and they all gathered in a circle around Gabriel, and they all started taking turns hitting him. After only a few seconds of this beating, Gabe screamed, not only with his mouth but with his mind, his mark flaring to life, and dropped all of the children surrounding him to their knees with a pain inside their heads. None of them were truly hurt, but they never went near him again, so once again, Gabriel became a loner. Since then, he just spent his time learning how the world works, helping those who come to him for help, and listening to problems. He now wanders most of the time, staying in scattered villages for differing amounts of time, doing work as a consultant for gamblers and people with suspicions, as well as working as a street magician, creating illusions to entertain children, though this he usually does for free, only getting paid by parents happy to have their children occupied.
