Coming from The Reaak Kingdom, Yermolai has not had an easy life. Like anyone who isn't a noble, he's never had money for luxuries. Even when he inherited his family's farm, the taxes stopped him from earning above the bread line. Though he's a loving person, he has a prejudice against nobles for keeping him from having an easier life.
As a child, he was adventurous, often climbing the tall buildings in the centre of the kingdom. Yermolai often looks back on his childhood with happiness and depression as he looks at his body now, wrecked by age and unable to move the way he used to be able to.
Though he lives on his own, being an only child to two dead parents, he is more than capable of running the land single handedly as he discovered in his early teens when his father put to him to work during the harvest and wasn't ever tired out by it. His farm provides him with just enough food to keep him from ever starving whilst also enough to sell to the merchants so he could pay the taxes as long as the crops are good.
With a revolution brewing, Yermolai knows that he will help in any way he can to put the greedy nobles in their places. Just exactly what he will do though is still a mystery to him.
Uhm... I've never played a roleplaying game like this, but I'd like to give it a try. I hope you'll accept me into this. Please try to guide me whenever I screw something up.
Name: Jordanes Roi

Bio:
Jordanes Roi was born in a small village into an average family, with the exception of his mother dying when she gave birth to her son. His father was a tailor, and his son was intended to become one as well, but one fateful day the 7-year old Jordanes awakened to his powers of spiritual meditation during a small fight with a local bully. Later that day, he explained his father how he closed his eyes during the fight, felt absolutely serene and was able to draw strength to defeat the physically superior bully with.
His father realized that there were supernatural forces in his son, and both confused and scared with this he told his son to never use his powers again, knowing that would people find out that he was a Scion, he could never live a normal life in the village, the life he wanted his son to have.
However, Jordanes did not listen to his father but instead attempted to explore his powers and draw as much power as he could from the spiritual world. His father, thinking the best of his son, threw him into the cellar of their house for three days as a punishment for disobeying his orders. Little did he know, the boy was possessed by the excitement of this new world he had discovered and could not leave it be. During his time in the cellar, he reached even farther to the spiritual world, and found "enlightenment" which he had been craving for. But the little Jordanes' mind was not ready, not developed enough to be able to process what he had learned....
After his father opened the cellar door 3 days later and was about to let his son go, Jordanes leaped at his father, slashing his throat open with the sickle he had found in the basement. The next day, other villagers came to Roi's house, worried about the family. They found little Jordanes on his knees next to his father's body, holding his head, rocking back and forth while mumbling "The spirits told me to do it...". Horrified by the act, the villagers locked "The Demon Child" into an abandoned shack on the outskirts of the village...
Jordanes eventually escaped his imprisonment and wandered ever since that day. He has no goals or dreams, all his actions are driven by what the spirits tell him to do, resulting in him being extremely unstable. Whether or not the spirits are real or fabrications of his twisted mind is anybody's guess.
Combat abilities:
He has learned how to achieve a near superhuman strength and speed through meditation, being able to control his muscles and bodily functions to the point where he is a serious threat to anyone unprepared to face him.
He feels no pain in his body, which results in him being a fierce but reckless man on the battlefield.
He carries a staff with him, but nobody has seen him use it in a fight. The few people who have gotten to know him during the years believe it to be a memento of sort.
The downside of him being able to reach extreme physical capabilities is an extreme strain on his muscles and body, which means he cannot fight for long periods of time without causing damage to himself.
So that would be my character. Please give me some feedback on if I did something wrong. I am aware that this was supposed to be about "superheroes", but i'd like to play my character as chaotic neutral.
Also, since I am a newcomer, can someone please explain me the general flow of the game? how do we proceed once the characters are created?
Also, how realistic is this intended to be?
Thanks, I hope you guys will guide me on this roleplaying experience.
Answers to your questions: Me and my Co-GM will set the scene, and you'll decide what you would like your character to do from there. Superheroes is a misleading title, the original idea is what would happen if we released super powered beings loose in a Feudalistic continent and allowed people to have their fun with the populace. you post something, someone else posts something, story progress so on a so forth. Realism is hard to say. There are no monsters and no magics, technology is at the pre-said levels and Gods don't really have any physical interaction with the world. I'd like it if you could combine bio and background, and actually expand upon your personality. I doubt you could be summed up in one word, so neither should your character.

Name: Alfhild [http://www.behindthename.com/name/alfhild] Abbink
Age: 12
Profession: Merchant
Superhuman Ability: 'Violet' Colour and Emotion Manipulation [http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Violet_Manipulation]
Basically, she can manipulate emotions associate with love and sex, and create energy blasts or weapons.
Personality: Alfhild has a deep hatred for soldiers and violent people in general. This can make it hard for her to suppress her powers.
Background: Alfhild was born in the Tharblae Marshes on a small farmstead. One day, a small warband rode through and destroyed the farm, burning the crops and destroying the buildings. Alfhild survived, cut her hair to imitate a boy and tried to get to safety.
Additional Information: Alfhild is short, only 5'5, and slim with blonde hair. While travelling, she assumes the name Elric for her own protection.
She makes money by selling goods she steals from people she uses her powers on.
Her powers are hard to control due to her emotions and often break out when she is riled up.
Question: Would describing the Tharblae as Ancient Celtic/Germanic Dothraki be accurate (just so I can picture the culture)?
I hate to say that my gaps in that area of History/Civilization are pretty darn big, so you'll have to give me an idea of what you mean.quote="Stalydan" post="540.384154.15228354"]

As I said for OniaPL people's personalities are more complicated than one word, please expand upon your character's.
Well, the ancient Celts have a pretty similar culture to Game of Thrones' Dothraki, and the ancient Germanic people had a similar reputation (they're the origin of the word 'barbarian').
Basically, barbaric hordes (who all have a thing about styling their hair) who group together into clans/tribes based on families (ie Clan MacWhatever) and location, and run around killing the people and pillaging the towns.

I edited in some personality information; it's kind of intended to just give people the general view and grasp of the character. Hopefully it's sufficient; didn't feel like writing an essay and trying to explain every angle.
I kind of integrated the "Excitement" background into the bio, or so i thoguht. The excitement being the excitement caused by his newfound powers as he was a child, and now trying to get the most use out of them in an attempt to unlock the secrets of his mind and body. Of course the excitement should come through in his lust for whatever that satisfies him, resulting in him being a wanderer and not staying still for long.
Oh well. Give the personality part a look at some point (if you have the time), and tell if it's fine. Thanks.

Sorry to double post but I just realized something else. I also need some real gosh darn character descriptions. The rolls don't cover what your wearing, an extra details you may want to mention, ect. ect. and also it doesn't give me an idea of you ability in descriptive writing.

Power: Transforms into a black winged beast, but cannot fly. She can however use her wings as extremely powerful weapons, and flapping them can generate a weak gust intended to stun. Her teeth grow into fangs like a sabre tooth tiger extending over her chin while her eyes widen like a bat. Katalin's wings, while not allowing flight do allow for short burts of speed for which she can tear out an enemy's heart with her fangs or her razer sharp claws which grow like a werewolf's. All of this is extremely painful as her guard armour is very restrictive and she has to desperately fight the urge to pass out due to pain upon returning to her human form. While in beast form is constantly hunched over in an almost hunchback like state.
Edit: Still needs more and a good clean up but I gotta go to work. Definately gonna finish this today.

Gonna have to say something that lets you imitate the power of gods counts as "Technical omnipotence". Please reroll.

Shouldn't the people who got it after be forced to first plus I been working on it all day lol me and another player found a connection even and iv been thinking up stuff for her all day and it would be better to go for others who haven't detailed there chars yet I been adding lots and such and its a pain to write up a entire char just to erase it like that xP not arguing with you but trying appeal because iv grown attached to my char I made

These reason I'm asking you to reroll is because you're much too young for your roleplaying to be credible, and your background cant' work properly with your age. Also out of the characters I would like people to reroll your's is one of the weakest. I'll be asking others and in fact I have been, but I'm not sure I can trust you to roleplay well with the character that you have.
You can have it but I'm gonna need to stick a limiter in there. Voukras suggested that you age more rapidly proportionally to the amount of time you go back. So if you were to jump back a day, you'd age a year. I like this idea.

I'd like to add that ProtoChimp should not travel back in time more than a few seconds, at most minutes unless we say otherwise. This isn't really because that would be extremely powerful, that's an issue too, but the main issue is that it would be almost impossible to roleplay. If ProtoChimp goes back in time how is that going to reflect on posts that have already happened? We'd either have to edit all affected posts or do all the posts again from the point he traveled to, to the present. That would be pretty much a nightmare. So that's why I'm going to have to ask you, ProtoChimp, to limit your ability in those regards as well. Sorry.
