I'm supremely cool with you doing that, thank you.TrilbyWill said:
I'm personally cool with this. Sounds like an interesting power. How about me and Voukras decide the terms of your beast and get back to you?ProtoChimp said:
It's up to you. Like I said, if you really want temporal rewind you will have to restrict your time travel to short voyages into the past. Stuff like dodging blows, using it as a social safety net (like accusing someone of a crime to see his reaction than rewinding time so that it appears nothing happened), being point man and checking if a zone is safe, rewinding if need be etc.ProtoChimp said:
You would need to be careful to not travel back in time too much, or else you'll mess up the continuity of the posts and you should avoid inadvertently controlling another person's character when you travel back in time unless you specifically ask for their permission or get their input before posting (I'm talking about situations like interacting with a player's character in order to learn new information then rewind time so that apparently your interaction did not take place, this does not mess up post continuity but would constitute auto-ing). If you screw up what will probably happen is that your posts will get retconned or ignored and you will make us sad.
Inner Beast is an okay ability, you can pick it up instead of Temporal Rewind if you wish.
EDIT: My bad, DM.
Garret Josiah
Age: 22
Profession: Scribe
Superhuman Ability: Second Sight - The ability to see into the future, as well as seeing otherwise unobservable events. Naturally, his powers have limits - omniscient heroes are no fun. He can only see a few seconds into the future with true reliability, and his visions become vague and incomprehensible the further he casts them into the future - his ultimate limit being two days for self-induced visions. However, he occasionally has premonitions in his dreams that cast much farther forward than several days, though he has no control over their frequency and topic.
His powers also give him the ability to see into the past, but also with a limit - he can only see details when he has something in the present to act as a focus, the more directly related to his intended vision, the better. For example, he can't just 'see' the person that assassinated a noble out of hand, but if given the dagger accused of being the murder weapon he could.
Background
Exile) Garret's seen it all. Growing up as a scribe to the Jeenda, a prominent family in the Reaak Kingdom, he's hardly a stranger to greed, cruelty, and political intrigue - but nothing could have prepared him for the day at the ripe age of 17 that he published a treatise condemning the actions of another powerful family - the Bavvard - at the behest of his employer. Furious, the Bavaard family used their many connections to the king's court to have Garret arrested, any copies of his treatise burned, and moved to usurp his employers as formal rulers over the county.
The night before, however, Garret had a strange premonition in a dream - his first ever - that warned him that great danger awaited him if he stayed in the Reaak Kingdoms. As he fled, he had another vision, this one of the present, showing his former employers being dragged away in chains. Disillusioned with his homeland and fleeing for his life, he ran to the Iyuo Mountains, where he stays to this day.
Today he trains in hand to hand combat and meditates with the monks of the order to hone his powers, ever vigilant for the inevitable Bavvard assassin - or for the opportunity to take his revenge.
PersonalityPessimistic) Deeply pessimistic after being ran out of his homeland, he hides his fears and insecurities behind a thick veneer of sarcasm. He's pretty convinced that the world is a nasty and unpleasant place. Much of this sour attitude has to do with the impact his powers have had over his psyche - his prescience causes him a feeling of dread whenever somebody nearby is about to experience ill fortune. The resulting pall of gloom hangs over him like a dark shadow, and has stressed his ability to emotionally cope. As a result, he avoids population centers where he can.
Still, he has a strong sense of justice and will help the oppressed and downtrodden where he can. Utterly reviles those that take what they have by force or through dirty politics. Often comes across as mildly paranoid, particularly in large crowds. His abrasive nature is difficult to get past, but is a fiercely loyal friend once you do.
Other information - 5'11" and of average build. Black hair, Brown eyes. These days he's usually seen in the white robes of the order of monks that took him in; they offered him room and board and assistance in controlling his powers in exchange for his services as a scribe in copying and translating their holy texts - or so they say. In reality, once Garret demonstrated his powers and asked for assistance in controlling them, the head monk of his monastery proclaimed that Garret was a herald of Loae's return their world. He offered Garret his assistance on one condition - that he would not hesitate to take up his destiny when Loae called.
One of his most prized possessions is a satchel his father gave him before he died, stark black and roughly the size of a backpack. He takes it with him wherever he goes.

Put it in spoilers, extend personality and physical.Arcanist said:
Awww without even being asked. Thanks buddy.ruedyn said:
I'll read it, but the run on sentences and improper capitalization/grammar physically hurt me to read.nuba km said:
Alright read it. Sort out your capitalization and grammar, extend physical and personality and bit and it's a fairly good application.
That does sound super interesting, but call me boring I just don't want to mess up my first rp, I'll stick with Beast. Although now I am torn, I'll probably be doing beast.Voukras said:
Name: Lucretius Faustinus; 'The Wolf Knight'
Age: 17
Profession: Knight
Superhuman Ability: Canine Physiology [http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Canine_Physiology] (no mythical canine forms for obvious reasons).
As well as physical enhancements due to his power, Lucretius has been able to strike fear in his enemies by letting out wolfish howls.
He has spent most of his life as a human either training to fight or fighting, which has allowed him to become a skilled swordsman and archer.
Personality: Lucretius is filled with incredible anger due to his time spent as a wolf, and directs most of his rage towards the Tharblae. He channels most of his anger in combat, which makes him a ferocious opponent, and can even allow him to enter a kind of berserker-state.
Background: Lucretius was born in a small town in the Reaak Kingdom, near the Tharblae Marshes, which was attacked and burned by a group of Tharblae soldiers. He fled the town into a forest, where his powers kicked in. He stumbled across a pack of wolves and spent the next year of his life with them in the form of a wolf. When he found a village, he became human again and rejoined civilisation. He enlisted in the army to avenge his town, and was eventually knighted for his bravery and skill, and took a silver wolf as his sigil.
Appearance: Lucretius stands at 6'1 and has a muscular build, which makes him imposing in battle. He wears his brown hair long and wild and his teeth are sharper than most humans', giving him a dog-like appearance. He keeps his hair covering his eyes
He wears black leather armour emblazoned with his sigil and leather gloves with steel claws when he isn't in combat. In combat, he uses steel armour with a wolf-head helmet.
Additional Information: Lucretius carries a two-handed claymore on his back which he uses in large-scale battles, which has a wolf-head on the hilt of the blade.

We discussed it and we've decided you can decide the terms of your inner beast. Don't abuse though 'kay?ProtoChimp said:
Like the idea, like it more if you expanded. Two paragraphs would be ideal. Also for ease of reading could you separate sections with lines?TrilbyWill said:
Okay. I'll have that done tomorrow.Sir Strange Of The House Lycan said:
[small][sub]Well, today... what with it being almost 1AM.[/sub][/small]

I hope this is good because I'm not a very good writer. Also it seems like I'm pretty much Aang with hair.

Name: Rafiq Alves
Gender: Male
Age: 31
Description: Rafiq stands at 6'2" (188 cm), making him a rather imposing figure when combined with his muscled physique and a large coat of assorted furs and hides. He has short, black hair, though it is barely visible under a hood. (Yeh, this is going to be not as short later. Gonna go into detail about facial features and the rest of his clothing most likely)
Profession: Hunter
Superhuman Ability: Lateral Repulsion [http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Lateral_Repulsion]
Personality: (Optimistic) Rafiq is a true optimist, seeing the brighter side of every occurrence and believing that even the bad things in the world happen for the sake of the greater good. This isn't to say that he is always smiling; even an optimist knows that bad things happen in the world and that they are nothing to be pleased about. One cannot ignore the suffering of people in other lands, but Rafiq is sure that the awakening of his power signalled the beginning of the end for that suffering. It will all be worth it in some way, even if he has to make it so. (Also probably going to be not as short? I dunno. We'll see how it pans out)
Background: (Hidden) Rafiq has lived in the Iyuo Mountains from the day he was born and not even once stepped off them. His family has made up generations upon generations of hunters, sampling the very worst of the Iyuo's weather to get furs, hides and meat for others.
The first and by far most important milestone of this man's life was the day on which he awoke to his innermost power. He did so at the innocent and young age of 11; he became unable to pick up his hunting supplies as they shifted away from him. The more annoyed he got at this, the more they rushed away from him. He only really caught on when he gave up and managed to knock himself over by repulsing himself from the floor to his left. Though completely unsure of what might have happened and what he might have just done it would be many more years before he learned to harness the power.
By the age of 15 he had integrated the power into his work, repulsing arrows to give them much greater force and travelling to new areas of the mountain that he had only been able to stare at from across valleys before. By 20 he had mastered such skills, able to kill his prey with no bow at all by repulsing arrows, rocks and even sticks straight from his hands with deadly force. Being able to hunt with no weapons to worry over gave him a huge advantage over other hunters, allowing him to make a much better living than his parents had. For the rest of his life he has kept mainly to the status quo, using his powers to indirectly benefit those around him without letting them in on his secret.

One sheet, as promised. Let me know how I've got on, keeping in mind that stuff is probably being added later on to those two 'lots of writing here' fields.
Name: Quintus Glaedwine
Gender: Male
Age: 23
Profession: Merchant
Superhuman Ability: Wendigo Physiology ([link] http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Wendigo_Physiology [/link])
Personality: (Depressed) Quintus may have been granted great power, but it has only made him an outcast. He is faster, stronger, and more alert than anyone he has seen, but beneath his gaunt, starved exterior lie a killer's vicious claws (quite literally as well as figuratively). He has done terrible things, unforgivable things, and it has changed him. Sometimes he wishes only for death, to be free of the hunger and the overwhelming guilt, but something deep within Quint wants to live, and will stop at nothing to survive.
Quintus does not mind the company of others, but most people feel incredibly uncomfortable around him, even if they can't place why. He believes himself to be cursed, chosen at random to wield a hideous power, and bear an incredible burden. As a result of the horrors he has seen and committed Quint's worldviews are decidedly bleak. He has very few friends, and (on the surface at least) very little motivation to remain alive. Quintus likes the cold.
Background: (Hidden) Quintus grew up in a poor, unhappy fishing village like so many others in Reaak. He was raised by an elderly man who claimed to have found him floating face down in the ice-cold river by the village. What Quint did not know was that the man also had knowledge of the Scions, a knowledge he used to keep the boy's strange powers hidden from both the boy and everyone in the village. The man was very careful, and kept the Wendigo's power in check for many years.
One day, however, the village was beset by a terrible blizzard, the river froze over and the villagers were starving and freezing to death. Quint, who was nearly a man grown, decided something had to be done, so despite the desperate pleas of the old man he set out into the swirling snow. No sooner had he taken three steps into the cold than everything suddenly became sharper. The ice did not sting him like it should have, and he began to feel strong again, stronger than ever before. Like an avalanche, all the thoughts the old man had driven into the back of his head rushed forward with a savage intensity. The man had lied to him, concealed what he truly was and robbed him of years of his life, but in that one critical moment, Quintus chose to walk away rather than take vengeance.
Now, nearly ten years later, Quint is nothing but a common grave-robber. He uses his heightened senses to find corpses before they have been picked clean and sells the grim trophies to anyone with the coin. While he will not kill without cause, if he is threatened or feels somebody is deserving of death, he will not hesitate.
Appearance: Height: 5'5, Build: Sinewy. Quintus is of average height and has short blonde hair. His muscles clearly stand out against his drawn, pale flesh, giving him a slightly inhuman appearance, and look of remorse seems permanently etched onto his face, save for when he is making a kill. He is clean-shaven, as a beard would only get in his way. Quint wears a patchwork suit made from any broken bits of steel or leather he can find.
Additional Information: Unlike a Werewolf, Quintus remains fully conscious and aware of his actions when "the claws come out", though sometimes he may have trouble reigning in his Wendigo powers. Although it may not appear as such when he is in battle or on the hunt, Quint can control his abilities. Due to the nature of his powers (aside from unsheathing claws he maintains a distinctly human form) some are understandably disturbed when he makes a kill. He lives in the Reaak Kingdom.
