RP ThreadDiscussion
Imaizumi City is known as a breeding ground for advancement. It is a large city that has been built up over the years, equipped with all the latest advancements in technology each time. In that way, it's something of a "testing ground". The moment a piece of technology is deemed safe enough to be used in the public and by the general public, it is introduced to Imaizumi City. This is in part because Imaizumi City is designed for new technology or repairs to current technology to be easily integrated. However, technological advancement is hardly the main purpose of Imaizumi City. Years ago, Imaizumi city was just a collection of buildings around one complex: The Imaizumi Academy. An elevator school fully equipped for the testing and training of people who, from birth, have had abilities. These powers can range from simple psychic prowess to being a human railgun. Imaizumi Academy is the largest and most advanced school of its kind, a complex with buildings for elementary, middle school, and high school levels. Each school building is equipped with a facility for testing and training the various abilities held by the students, and for more dangerous abilities that could not be tested inside there is an outdoor facility. This is the "core" of Imaizumi City, and what the city has been built up around. Imaizumi City has, in fact, the highest population of people with abilities in Japan. Imaizumi City has its own internal law enforcement. Known as the Enforcement Bureau, it is made up of several adult agents leading a force primary made up of students. These students are picked only if they display a certain level of control and discipline, and they can only become Enforcers if they are over thirteen.
This RP takes place in Imaizumi city. Players take the roles of students of Imaizumi Academy(and possibly other roles depending on what they pick) each with their own abilities. A few rules before bios: - Abilities must be one "power". Now, sometimes this can be very broad("psychic" for example, counts as one power, though there would have to be a description of what it can do), but I would prefer if not all powers were very broad like that.
- "Modification" abilities(shapeshifting, for example) are strictly off-limits.
- You may have a character who isn't a student, but they will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
- Have fun!
Bios: Name: Age: Gender: Appearance: Ability: (One power, though these can be fairly broad. Be reasonable with what you give them.) Skills: (Everything from "can cook" to "has experience in martial arts") Personality: Brief History: Occupation: (Student, unless you want a character who is not a student[Those will be judged on a case-by-case basis], or is part of the Enforcement Bureau[though they'll most likely be students too])

Name: Beatrix Alexandria Katherine Avalon Age: 13 Gender: Female Appearance: are you in awe of my vast talents, simpleton?Ability: The power to forget things. Funnily enough, she tends to forget she can even do that. While this can be used on others too, she's never tried, or even thought of it. Also, the memory needs to be rather precise. Skills: - Some skill with the violin. - Intricate knowledge of the gothic lolita fashion. - Being an idiot. Personality: Somehow, Beatrix it into her head that she is simply awesome. Cute, intelligent, skilled and perfect are descriptors she's given herself. Just too bad that, outside of her power, she's a poor student, has little patience to apply herself, is quite naive, and a somewhat NEET-ish lifestyle has left her as little more than a brat with social awkwardness. Makes it much harder to make friends, especially when Beatrix has the strange idea that everyone should be her servant. Brief History: Not much to say. Comes from a fairly well-off family, spent most of her life playing games, reading comics, occasionally practising her violin... Occupation: Student

Name: Arakawa Natsumi Age: 17 Gender: Female Appearance: ... Yeah, this fits.Ability: Control of Magma. Seems to extend to heating normal rock to the point that it melts, too. Naturally also controls lava because the difference is merely one of vocabulary. In English, at least (I can't be sure with other languages. XD) Skills: Extremely fast reader and she can both program and hack computers. Absolutely appalling with video games. Personality: Somewhat skittish and easily frightened, Natsumi does her best to avoid people wherever possible and just mumbles her way through any conversations she cannot avoid. She's also rather reticent about going into sunlight or changing out of the tanktop/tracksuit bottoms combo she's eternally in. Or dropping the blanket. Much more outgoing when talking through computers... which may explain why even the staff uses that to contact her. She's mostly nocturnal. Brief History: Something, though no-one's entirely sure what, happened several years ago to drive one of the shiest people in the school away from social contact entirely. Being so far from home, though, she did this by moving into the deepest basement in the entire building and making herself more at home, where she's stayed since, only emerging once practically everyone else is asleep. Having taken a laptop with her, and still sort of following lessons, she's mostly been left down there... since at least one attempt to get her out lead to the door's being blocked with a wall of molten rock. Not as if the room had any other use. Seems to get money from her parents occasionally, since the basement room is slightly modified, now--a thin strip of floor is now just extremely resilient glass over a patch of stone that she melts whenever she's awake and wants lighting and heat--and she always has books on hand to read. Why does the school allow this? Presumably because it at least furthers her practice and prevents anyone from getting burnt. Occupation: Student (technically), Source of Rumours.

Accepted. - Name: Hoshino Kameyo
- Age: 16
- Gender: Female
- Appearance: "Let's do this!"
- Ability: Kameyo is almost literally a human railgun. She is capable of, as long as she comes into physical contact with it beforehand, manipulating anything subject to electromagnetism using electromagnetic currents. While this comes off as a very limited form of telekinesis, the chief use of this ability is to electromagnetically accelerate these objects. Kameyo uses herself as the "rail" so to speak, accelerating metal objects and firing them as if out of a military-grade railgun. This allows for an extremely devastating use of her ability. Beyond this, Kameyo can also use her ability to walk up metal walls if she takes off her shoes and socks.
- Skills: Kameyo can run decently fast and kick fairly hard. Other than that, she doesn't have much in the way of skills.
- Personality: Kameyo is cocky and sure of herself. She believes that there's no-one in the world as good at railgunning as she is(and she'd probably be right, given that the control over electromagnetism as an ability is very rare), and that there's no obstacle she can't overcome with superior firepower. That said, this leads to her trying to take on situations she might not be able to handle and jumping into things without thinking them through quite a bit. Not to say she doesn't think, or isn't intelligent. She is, and when she does think she can come up with plans, she just often jumps in before thinking things through. Kameyo does decently well in class.
- Brief History: Kameyo's ability manifested when she was very young, leading to her accidentally electromagnetically charging a spoon. After that incident was dealt with, her parents decided to enroll her into Imaizumi Academy when she was old enough. There she has stayed, learning how to best control her abilities. She even became an Enforcer at age fourteen.
- Occupation: Student, Enforcer
- Name: Arakawa Ayako
- Age: 9
- Gender: Female
- Appearance: "Oh, hello."
- Ability: Ayako's ability is known as "Vectors". She is capable of manipulating things with an invisible force, which she can also use to block projectiles or even cut through objects. However, she is only capable of producing one vector and very clumsily manipulating it, and it has a maximum range of only a half a meter. As such, her arms are more useful then her vector. However, it is believed that(with training), Ayako would be able to produce a massive amount of vectors with a range of up to ten meters. However, she is currently completely incapable of doing so.
- Skills: Ayako is a remarkably good cook.
- Personality: Ayako is sweet-natured and kind, with a strong love of cooking. She's enthusiastic about food in general, really. Aside from that, she is very naive and somewhat shy around new people, though she is usually fairly quick to get over this shyness if they're nice to her. In spite of her shyness, she does want to make friends. She just has to get over her shyness, first. Ayako has a fear of large vehicles, especially buses, due to the accident that led to the paralysis of her legs and loss of her right eye. Ayako is an excellent student.
- Brief History: Ayako was born to a loving family, who took care to keep her out of direct sunlight due to her albinism. When she was only five years old, a bus struck the back of the car her parents were driving. While her parents survived with only minor injuries, both of Ayako's legs suffered heavy nerve damage and glass from the broken window had damaged her right eye beyond repair. While her life was saved via surgery, Ayako has not regained the ability to walk. Her ability manifested, and after being assured that she would be well-taken-care of Ayako was transferred to Imaizumi Academy.
- Occupation: Student

Name: Yukimura Yuki Age: 21 Gender: Female Appearance: "Sensei, you forgot to dress before coming to school again..." Normally looks like this. Has jeans on, seems to keep forgetting she owns footwear.Ability: Control of Magnitude. This theoretically allows her to alter any property of anything except where it's facing or headed. However, she's not that good with it sober, and pretty much uses it to raise her alcohol tolerance to astronomical levels and remain perpetually drunk. Her other notable skills are increasing how hard her punches are to shatter walls and altering the frequency of light reflected to change colours. She also needs physical contact with stuff. If she practices? Who knows? Skills: Athletic. Extremely good balance even when on the verge of falling asleep due to drunkenness. Personality: Lazy, shameless, and generally operating according to what seems most fun at the time, Yuki is a friendly person but also completely unreliable. She hates it when people are pointlessly cruel, though, and has a tendency towards flicking them on the head so hard they get knocked across the room. Fortunately, is rarely fazed by disciplinary actions or being arrested for stuff (generally public indecency). Despite her cheerful attitude, can't seem to get a boyfriend or a girlfriend. Brief History: Became a student, was immediately hired as a teacher because letting someone with that ability and attitude just... wander off would be an incredibly bad idea. This is also how she managed to only get on probation for stripping in a PE lesson (good thing she only teaches girls, they decided) because she forgot to bring any actual swimwear. Occupation: PE Teacher. Always shows up, weirdly.

Firstly, can you link that picture instead? It's rather big.
Secondly, the way you've worded his ability would make it extend to any vibrations which... well, GS was planning on joining with a character using the power to manipulate vibrations, which is effectively how your power works given the way it's worded.
Thirdly, if he's a slacker I doubt he'd be a talented swordsman and martial artist.
Fourthly, abilities require a significant amount of training to gain power. For example, when Kameyo first found out about her power, she was very young and all she did was electromagnetically charge a spoon. Then we have Ayako, who has the potential to be completely devastating... but currently has an ability weaker and less useful then just using her arms.
Fifthly, becoming an Enforcer is something you need the volunteer for. Anyone who doesn't want to simply wouldn't sign up.

I accidentally deleted a few parts I didn't mean to and messed up the picture part, but seeing as I've mucked things up I think I'll just stop.

- Name: Koguchi Fumiko
- Age: 22
- Gender: Female
- Appearance: "Really now?"
- Ability: Fumiko has an ability known as "Attach Sense". She can attach her own senses to the senses of others, and therefore sense what they sense. For example, by attaching her sight to the sight of a subordinate, she would be able to see everything they see, in addition to what she is currently seeing. The same goes for any of her other senses. However, while she is very adept with this ability it is still difficult for her to fight while it is active, forcing her to deactivate it if she is attacked while using the ability.
- Skills: Fumiko is skilled in hand-to-hand combat, chiefly in how to nonlethally disable an opponent.
- Personality: Fumiko is the kind of person to take things seriously. And that's good for her position, as the Chief Officer of the Enforcement Bureau Core Functionality. However, she often takes everything seriously. This includes jokes and the like, which leads to her being easy to tease. Fumiko has a less serious side, but she still has a hard time telling when something is a joke or not even when she's off duty. She is extremely protective of civilians, especially students, and does her best to ensure that no-one under her command is hurt.
- Brief History: Fumiko was a student of Imaizumi City, whole volunteered for service as an Enforcer when she was fourteen. From there, she rose through the ranks and eventually became the Chief Officer of Imaizumi's "core", Imaizumi Academy and the portion of the city surrounding it.
- Occupation: Chief Officer of the Enforcement Bureau Core Functionality
Not as much of a forefront character as the others. She's still important, though. Just... not going to be around as much as the others.

Name: Isamu Matsudaira Age: 16 Gender: Male Appearance: i1024.photobucket.com/albums/y305/Goniochrome/anime-guy-anime-guys-5284778-570-78.jpgAbility: Isamu has the ability to shift inanimate objects he's touching into and out of a pocket dimension. Solids are no problem to shift, but liquids are more difficult and gases can't be shifted. Skills: Isamu is in peak physical condition and loves martial arts and parkour. He reads almost anything he can get his hands on and has accquired a lot of different pieces of trivia as a result. He believes in being prepared for any situation and can improvise strategies on the fly in any situation he hasn't tried to prepare for. Personality:Isamu is driven by a desire to help people in any way he can and attempt to make the world a better place one person at a time. He mainly wants everybody to be happy, or barring that as many people as possible. Other than that, he's a fairly laid-back person who views books as "precious fragments of humanity" and has a massive sweet tooth. Perhaps strangely, he finds nothing contradictory between attempting to promote happiness and understanding and attempting to promote Martial Arts. Brief History: When he was young, an incident he still refuses to talk about traumatized him horribly, exposing him to the horror, despair and hatred that the world has to offer. He was enrolled in Imaizumi Academy to teach him to control his powers. In subsequent years he was able to rise up from nihilistic hopelessness to his current worldview. Occupation: Student.

I've forgotten how to do that, actually, and sorry, I'll find an image. Just need one wearing a single glove.

Nevermind. I meant to say I forgot we had it, but I've not slept in a while. I apologize for my profound stupidity as usual.
Also, might've found a picture that works.

- Name: Asahina Tenri
- Age: 16
- Gender: Female
- Appearance: Excuse me.
- Ability: Vibration Meister- The power to release kinetic bursts of energy from a point of origin through the use of vibrations, the point being her body. She has to physically touch something to influence it and activate her abilities, otherwise all she can do is vibrate her own body. She can increase the striking and cutting power of an object as well as cause internal injuries to a body. It can also be used to emulate superstrength and endurance for a few seconds as well as create small quakes. The downside to this ability is that there's always a recoil from using vibrations, which exponentially increase the stronger the usage.
- Skills: Tenri is a good artist as well as musician. She enjoys the arts and has a good sense of pitch, though that makes her more susceptible to loud and grating sounds.
- Personality: Somewhat mature and matronly to those younger than her, a statement to describe her would be a "cool big sis". That said, she's a bit out of it most of the time due to her various and often times strange train of thoughts so she often clashes against normal people's flow.
- Brief History: As a child, Tenri was often praised for her songs. As a result, she worked hard to refine her musical abilities and to become a popular musician, her life's dream. Moving into Imaizumi City so as to be with others of her abilities, the hardworking girl now intends to make a good future for herself.
- Occupation: Student

Name: Konpaku Kyo Age: 16 Gender: Uh... We'll get back to you on that one. Appearance: "Hmmm?"Ability: Spirit Medium? Claims to be able to summon the spirits of the deceased and use them to do their bidding, but... The truth is that they're just mental constructs created by Kyo that take the form of ghostly figures ( example). Strangely enough these are the only kinds of constructs Kyo can make, being somehow unsuited to create anything other than transparent, semicorporeal humanoid figures. They're able to manipulate the physical world just like a regular human, but each construct can only exist for about five minutes before dissapating into nothing, and they cannnot move more than ten meters away from Kyo without suffering the same fate. Kyo's current skill level allows them to only summon a maximum of four of these constructs, but as they develop this ability they will be able to create more, and for a longer period of time. Skills: Kyo is a skilled ventriloquist, and uses this ability to make it seem like their constructs are talking. Their atheletic abilities are surprisingly high, especially their running speed; some people do catch on to the scam, after all, so the ability to make a quick getaway is vital. Last but not least, Kyo is a very skilled liar. Personality: Kyo is a strange one, that's for sure. Their expression very rarely changes even when they're happy, and when they laugh it sounds... Off somehow. Possesses a morbid sense of humour, and loves ghost stories and old fairy tales, the kind that were grim and grisly. They're not some kind of psychopath who gets off on pain and misery, though; Kyo is a good person, in their own way, and whilst they are a scammer, they believe that showing people the images of the dead helps them move on. Of course, they may as well line their pockets whilst they're at it. After all, Kyo needs to eat too. Brief History: Ever since their parents died when they were 5, Kyo has had a strange, morbid fascination with death, the afterlife and the supernatural, something that the grandparents who raised them found rather unsettling. Not only that, but the fact that Kyo never really made any friends whilst growing up concerned them, and the moment their powers began manifesting they sent Kyo off to the academy. Even then, they haven't made many (if any) friends, and generally just keep to themselves. The only real source of interaction Kyo currently partakes in is their job as a spirit medium, showing gullible customers the "spirits of the dead". Occupation: Student. Kyo also works as a spirit medium, allowing others to communicate with the deceased... For a price. Seeing the nature of Kyo's power, it's quite clear that this is a scam.
