In the meantime between now and the second arc, I would love to play a role in controlling some of the gang members.Annnnd you're in luck. I've been keeping track of all the people who wanted to either add a second character or join, and you round off the number to three. That means we'd have 15 Ocs and I can split them into groups of 5 or 3 for ease of handling.
@Top_Smug_ go for it and get a bio up
@Cmeriwether also feel free to make a bio for Loki
@DarkHydraT and your flying dutchman/woman completes the new trio
That being said though I'll have to ask you to wait until we're in the second arc to introduce them because I don't want a 20 person fight in the first arc xD
Though, if you're interested and want to help then I can let you control a few of the important gang members.
Gotcha, I'll give you a run-down later in a conversation. Probably after I wait a bit to see if anyone else is interested.In the meantime between now and the second arc, I would love to play a role in controlling some of the gang members.
Looks Good, I might have some thoughts on that inextinguishable flame, but everything else is alright.Name: Axar Rathman
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Physical Features: Average in many ways, Axar stands at 5'8" and weighs in at around 140 pounds. His body isn't anything special either, leaning towards neither of the extremes and instead sitting somewhere in the middle of muscular and completely normal. His hair is a mess of black that is mostly swept to the right and almost covers his right eye. Despite being so young, there are almost always visible creases in his brow. An angry, or at the very least frustrated, expression is almost always worn on his sharp facial features.
Appearance: Preferring layers and warm colors, Axar dresses in a way many of his classmates might refer to as "edgy". His signature outfit is a black hoodie with a red and black flannel worn over it, ripped black jeans that have a pair gunmetal black chain hanging from the right side, and short black boots that his jeans are tucked into. The same outfit can be substituted with a red hoodie and black denim jacket combo, or a yellow hoodie with a black jacket that had red and yellow flames dancing around it. Every single one of his outfits are topped off with his sharp, black glasses that slightly round off around the bottom.
Personality: Quick to anger and confrontation, Axar has developed a reputation in his grade as a lone-wolf delinquent type. He's gotten into plenty of fights with other guys who think he acts tougher than he is, or that obviously just try to set him off. Truthfully though, it's not that Axar likes fighting, he's just prone to it. Axar's depression makes him easily agitated, and his loneliness and reputation within his grade only make things worth with other students. He spends most of his time free time reading, playing games, and (ever since he started getting into more fights) working out.Name: Axar Rathman
Kinship: Legendkin
Myth/Legend: Akuma (Satan)
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Physical Features: Axar's newly awakened form has shot him up a couple inches, now standing 5'10", and given him a fairly significant amount of muscle. Two flames sprout from his forehead, giving the appearance of fiery horns. His hands have turned into a charred-black texture and long, red, demonic claws have replaced his fingers. A demon-like tail has sprouted from his lower back, extending a few feet and ending in a dancing flame.
Finally, Axar's eyes. The whites of his eyes have darkened to almost black. His pupils shift and glow, red, orange, yellow, like cinders.
Personality: Much of Axar's old personality remains intact. He's still quick to anger, and tends to avoid people. However, there is one main difference in his personality since the Oscillation. Now he starts the fights. He's prone to commiting the sins of humankind, especially wrath, and has the uncanny ability to get others to do the same. When he gets too heated, however, he can occasionally catch himself and attempt to settle the situation rationally.
In Japanese folklore, Akuma is a wrathful fire spirit with a flaming head and eyes. Typically he is seen carrying a sword, but he also has the ability to manipulate fire and fly.
The Japanese believe that Akuma is a harbinger of misfortune and disaster, able bring bad omens to anybody he comes into contact with. Japanese folklore also states that Akuma can cause mental illness, and that if you suffer from depression or other mental health problems, you are the subject of evil spirits. Particularly, Akuma is seen as the main root of these issues.
Akuma can translate to Devil or Demon, but more importantly, Akuma is the name given to Satan in Japanese Christianity.
In Abrahamic religions, Satan is an entity who seduces humans into commiting sins. He is typically seen as a fallen angel who rebelled against God, and was cast out of Heaven. He was, however, allowed to retain some of his powers and the ability to control demons.
Grants the following abilities.Axar can call forth and manipulate flames from nearly any part of his body. He can also control fire in a (roughly) 60 foot radius from his body.Flames that Axar currently has under his control cannot be extinguished unless by himself.
Axar can use fire to propel himself through the air. However, he loses his ability to use offensive Pyrokenisis while this ability is active as it requires his full concentration.
Axar is more likely than others to commit acts of sin. Others than interact with Axar temporarily gain this ability.
Force
Power: Extremely High. (Power is an explosive and wilder exercise of force. This could also mean potential force as one can have an extremely high power capacity, but be physically extremely weak.)
Strength: High (Strength is a slower and more controlled exercise of force.)
Defense
Toughness: High (Toughness is how much damage we can take before our bones are crushed and skin torn.)
Resilience: Above Average (Resilience is how well we can redirect force. This can be affected by abilities that redirect damage or mitigates them through some magical or supernatural means.)
Dexterity
Speed: Above Average (Speed is the ability to move the body in one direction as fast as possible.)
Agility: Above Average(Agility is the ability to accelerate, decelerate, stabilize, and quickly change directions with proper posture.)
Quickness: High (Quickness is the ability to react and change body position with a maximum rate of force production.)
Energy
Constitution: Average (Constitution is how long we can function consciously. This has to do with 'mental fatigue'.)
Stamina: Above Average (Stamina is how long we can function physically. One may be physically weak but can operate for an extended period with spells or other abilities.)
Endurance: High (Endurance mitigates the use of all our abilities dealing with Stamina and Constitution, i.e. high endurance reduces the expenditure of Stamina and Constitution.)
Tenacity
Elemental Resistances: Above Average (Resistance to elemental magic or abilities fueled by certain elements.)
Physical Resistances: Average (If someone has high Physical Resistance, then they can mitigate a lot of physical damage. This is connected with the Defense stat and adds to it.)
Control Resistances: Below Average (This has to do with stuns, charms, and other status effects.)
Penetration: High (Penetration is a stat that helps bypass resistances.)
Looks Good, I might have some thoughts on that inextinguishable flame, but everything else is alright.
Accepted o7
We do have a number of flame users, that's rather interesting.
I'd say the fire can't be put out by any normal means but only more magical or mythical means. For example, normal water wouldn't work, but water from (insert legendary river here) might work.I'll make sure the inextinguishable ability doesn't get out of hand, or at least I'll try to!
And yeah, I read the other bios after I made mine, didn't realize how much fire we had lol

Hey, those old myths really like fire and the fire bird is cool, what can I sayWe do have a number of flame users, that's rather interesting.
Alright, I got time to kill. I'm thinking Apollo for William, you're enough of a weeb that I'll got for Kappa or one of those Japanese mythological demons, and I'll take a shot in the dark and say Samson has something to do with the Samson from Christian stories?The gang will likely appear in a few more posts. It has four power players.
The general goal of this arc is to take out those four without getting yourselves or any of the other students shot, killed, maimed, etc.
Some of the Gang's myths are more obscure and other not so much. I don't wanna reveal all their abilities immediately, so I'll use this post as a platform for a type of guessing game. Clues will be provided to assist your guessing, and if each thing you manage to guess correctly will be revealed here. Feel free to make wild guesses, or to wait until the gang members actually appear in the RP itself.
Ask as many questions as you'd like, but I don't promise to answer all of them ~ ♥

I know that WIlliam is supposed to hard counter Mango's character so I doubt it's as simple as Apollo.Alright, I got time to kill.

All good guess. All wrong though.For William, Artemis, Atalanta, or Potentially Mulan Hua (Original source is Chinese Legend)?
Aladd, Aladdin?
Gotcha! Don't worry about it.@kyuukestu Our 16th will have her bio up by the end of the night, she's currently at track and she'll have homework and such afterwards.
Bingo~Hou Yi?
Ah so that's how it hard counters Windie. Well guess that's going to be a slight pain in the butt, but I don't see any mental resistances...Bingo~
William (Hou'yi | Legendkin)
The Legendary sun-shooting Hero from Chinese Mythology. In Chinese mythology, there were 10 suns. Initially, the 10 suns would cross the sky one by one, but one day all 10 suns came out at once scorching the earth. Hou Yi was tasked by the mythical King Yao to rein in the suns. Hou Yi first tried to reason with the suns. When that didn't work, he then pretended to shoot at them with his bow to intimidate them. When the suns again refused to heed Hou Yi's warnings, he began to shoot at them one by one. With his bow in hand, he felled 9 of the 10 suns, only stopping after the Sun's mother and King Yao pleaded with him to leave one sun behind to allow humans to prosper.

Are you really sure you want Sam to be within line-of-sight of a guy that shot down 9 suns?Ah so that's how it hard counters Windie. Well guess that's going to be a slight pain in the butt, but I don't see any mental resistances...
If he shoots down Windie then maybe?Are you really sure you want Sam to be within line-of-sight of a guy that shot down 9 suns?
under the assumption that I am the aforementioned someone, im gonna go ahead and toss my bio into the mix, but this is gonna be pretty embarrassing if i misinterpreted the situation. bio will likely need some editing, as i was in class when i started writing this while trying to seem like i was paying attention. not my smartest idea, but hey, i dont have many smart ideas in the first place >:")I believe someone else is joining so we'll be at 16 Ocs and the groups will be adjusted to 4 persons each.

Name: Wrenna "Wren" Dwinell
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Physical Features: Wren is a small creature, standing roughly at 5'3, and weighing in at around 115lbs. Her skin is light, although not crudely pale, with dark freckles dappled along her nose and cheeks. Present on her face at most times is a thin, dimpled smile. Her hair is long and wavy, stopping around the middle of her back, and is a dark brown in color. Her eyes are the same color, maybe a shade or two darker.
Appearance: Typically dressed in floral, flowy dresses, Wren seems to embody Spring in her attire of choice. She is frequently seen with golden jewelry, although it never exceeds a necklace with a tiny pendant and a small anklet.
Personality: Wren is, typically, on the quieter side. She quips into class discussions and gives the occasional compliment, but doesn’t seem too keen on socializing. She’s diligent in her work and is a brilliant student, although her street-smarts may be lacking.
Likes: Baked goods, thunderstorms, music
Dislikes: Arrogance, humidity, sleeping without a fan onName: Wrenna “Wren” Dwinell
Kinship: Legendkin
Myth/Legend: 闇龗 (Kuraokami)
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Physical Features/Changes: After the Oscillation, Wren shot up around two inches in height, landing her at 5’5. Her weight distributes around more, giving her a slimmer appearance than before. Her hair remains the same, length-wise, but instead of its original dark brown becomes a bright white. Her eyelashes follow the same route. Her skin is paler, and her freckles are fainter.. her teeth sharpen slightly, most prominently her canines, and her nails thicken and sharpen slightly as well. Her scleras turn an icy blue and her iris turns white. Her body temperature dropped significantly, and her cheeks and nose seem particularly rosy from the chill. Atop her head, small, sharp grey horns now sprout from the base of her hairline.
Personality: Relatively the same, a bit more mellow. She comes off a bit more cold and distrusting, and has developed a curiously intense distaste for anything hot.
Mythos: Kuraokami is a legendary Japanese dragon and deity of rain and snow. According to Japanese myth, the siblings Izanagi and Izanami gave birth to the islands and gods of Japan. After Izanami died from burns during the childbirth of the fire deity, Kagutsuchi, Izanagi was enraged and killed his son. Kagutsuchi's blood created several other deities, including KuraokamiBorn from Hatred (Passive): Attacks grant slight bonus damage towards fire-based myths/legends, and a more significant amount towards Kagutsuchi-kin (yes this is directly meant for Axar.)
Frigid Touch (Cluster):
Active- Grants Wren the ability to condense moisture in the atmosphere and freeze it into icicles, cubes, or flakes in the palms of her hands.
Passive: Most anything Wren touches becomes severely cold when she transfers energy into it.
Rain Dance (Active): Wren channels the rain and wills it downward. Can vary from a drizzle (consumes virtually no power) to a downpour (physically taxing).STATS

**it took me ~10hrs to find the time to get this done- i’ll go through and tweak things later today, but right now its 1am and im ready for bed! i was feeling pretty hesitant about the abilities, so any potential adjustments/suggestions would be great if those ones weren’t sufficient enough.
:”)
I try to be more varied with the enemies so they aren't too common.Ah bugger, I forgot the Chinese even had a legend. Well played
Hey, I love mythology. The more the better, throw the most obscure stuff you got at usI try to be more varied with the enemies so they aren't too common.
You've still got three other Myths to guess xDHey, I love mythology. The more the better, throw the most obscure stuff you got at us
You should most certainly mingle, conversation getting cut off is sort of a natural thing. I do plan to have the gang pop in kinda unexpected ish, and it's just more natural for the OCs to be talking rather than sitting like ducks.Oh yeah also @kyuukestu do you think it'd be better for us to wait in the gymnasium inactive or go and mingle while we wait? Mingling sounds better, but it means you might end up cutting off conversations once you kick off the plot. What's your take?
