Fallen_Shinku
Name: 蘇續恬
Pinyin: Su Xu Tian
English Equivalent: Xutian Su
Meaning: Eternal Calm/Peace
Gender: Male
Age: 21
Race: Chinese
Physical Description: Xu stands about 5 feet and 7.5 inches, and weighing about 130 pounds. He is thin and wry, from a combination of studying and lack of physical activity. His hair is parted towards his right, with bangs that hang over the corner of his forehead. The back goes halfway down his neck. His hair is a really dark black, so much that it can almost “blend” into the night sky. He has a pair of silver glasses which he wears for being near-sighted. Even after "sigil influence", he still continues to wear his glasses, for it reminds him that he was once still “normal.”
Personality: Xu is very bright, meaning he learns and is able to “grasp” things incredibly fast. He puts a high value of life and is usually unwilling to end any, even the opponent's. He will fight and passionately so too, but will not or at least try to avoid killing someone. He also carries a deep love for his brothers, whom are still over in China. He tries to look calm (even if he isn't) and has a weak spot for the young and less-fortunate.
Biography: Xu was born in China. His family included his parents, and two younger brothers. Xu's father runs a small business, while his mother usually stayed at home and did housework. Having two younger brothers, Xu tried to make himself an ideal older brother, and role model. Thus during his school years he had made few friends and generally spent all his time studying or otherwise doing schoolwork. Once he was 15, he went to America as an international student. After finishing high school there, he decided to further his education by going to university. His dad sends over money monthly, though it is just barely enough to cover Xu's tuition and board. He met Mike Felt when he was just moving into his apartment. Mike offered to help him unload and to call him if Xu ever needed anything. Xu, however, never took him up on that offer. It has been 3 years since then. Mike sent Xu an invitation to the party and Xu, thinking of how coldly he treated Mike before, accepted. He was late that day to the party (arriving at about the same time the Thief did).
Skills: Xu inherited his love for gardening from his mother. Since she was at home most of the time, she took up gardening as a way to pass the time. Xu learned how to tend his mother's crops and pretty soon he started to garden too. However, unlike her mother, Xu took it one step further. He began taking biology and chemistry classes to further his knowledge of plant and animal life. He also developed a love for exotic plants and flora, favoring them over his mother's crops. Xu is also very artistic, carrying around a journal to sketch down anything he considers “appealing” or interesting.
Weapon: Snake Vine; a vine bearing resemblance to a snake in shape (thus the name). It has limited intelligence and Xu consider it his “masterpiece.” Its head bears resemblance to a snakes head, but instead of fangs it has a serration of curved thorns that inject a extremely potent neurotoxin (which paralyzes the victim but does not kills them) into foes when bitten. The Snake Vine also lacks eyes, therefore it is blind and must be directed mentally by Xu. The length of the Vine is inconstant, for it constantly grows/”ungrows” to adapt to the circumstances. The two share a telepathic link, able to discern each others location and status at any given time. The Snake Vine has regenerative abilities and will usually regrow when damaged. The only exception to this is for when its burned. Once burned the Vine will either retreat underground or into Xu's bag to recover. The Snake Vine can also “divide” itself by creating multiple heads, to a maximum amount of 6. Each head can be directed to do varying tasks. It is deceptively strong, able to easily pull a full-grown man to the ground with one head. However, it would take at least two to constrain (as in to stop mobility) an average Host.
Sigil Abilities: Nature Based: Generally control/manipulation of flora and insects. Specific abilities are as follows:
Bio-personification: Xu can also animate plants and trees, meaning give them a certain degree of intelligence and the ability to become mobile. This takes energy a substantial amount of his energy and he would be somewhat exhausted after animating. The general rule for this technique is that the bigger and more complex the plant is, the more energy it is going to consume. Animated plants will stay so for 10~15 minutes, until Xu runs out of energy or falls unconscious, which ever comes first.
Bio-mutation: Xu can create artificial bio-life from drawing his energy from the “well” and then implanting the energy into an existing creature. By artificial, I mean not natural. That means if an organism can do something that it usually can't do (animation aside), that would usually mean that it has been mutated by Xu's energy. The Snake Vine is an example of Bio-mutation. However, unlike the Snake Vine, Bio-mutated creatures will usually die/wilt shortly after mutation, due to the imbalance of genes and DNA. The rule here is the more extravagant the mutation, the more energy required and thus the more energy spent.
Other: Xu is pronounced more like Shu instead of Su
Xu carries around a light, soft yellow “messenger” bag wherever he goes. The bag contains a book on biology, his journal (which he draws in during free time), his phone, music player, the Snake Vine (when it is dormant), and a few bags of seeds. The seeds are mainly fruit seeds, for when in emergency he can use to grow some fruit trees for food. While he could just summon a fruit tree, he finds it consumes less energy to just accelerate the growth of a seed. The time it takes a accelerated seed to grow into a fruit bearing tree is about 5 minutes.
Xu also has a pet cat and bird, given to him by by his mother when he went over to America.

Yeah. Mine's a Nature based sigil abilities lol
And one more thing you should know
Currently there are "Host-Agents" on the Adam/Eve side. They are there because somebody wants them to eliminate the Hosts. I believe they were sent by some government/corporation to an "Erase All Failures (in this case the Hosts) Missions." Plus just for kicks there are Adam-Like people whom SEEM to support the Thief. His own renegade gang perhaps? No idea who they are and what they want yet, as the PC Eves are still fighting them sweatdrop

Character Name: Sir Lucius Smith
Gender: Male
Age: 27
Race: English & Ukrainian.
Physical Description: He is tall and stands confident, yet comfortably, exuding a sense of calm at almost all times, and is in obviously in good shape, weighing about 150 pounds and well toned, almost all of his weight stemming from muscle rather than any fat. He has thick, brown hair that runs over his ears to his neck and just barely in front of his eyes. Resting on his head among his mess of hair was a pair of brass-rimmed, protective goggles.
His face was young, tan, and smooth, showing absolutely no signs of growth and as a smooth, yet angular chin. His somewhat thin, well-defined eyes, are a very light brown, almost a bronze, and, such as his posture, exude confidence and lie below thin eyebrows. Just below his left eye is a small beauty mark.

Around his neck, he wears a leather band with several trinkets hanging from it. He wears a white, collared shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows and the top unbuttoned to the top of his chest. Over this shirt he wears a brown and white diagonally checkered vest. He has a brown, vertically-striped tie loosely tied with a Windsor knot around the collar of his shirt. Over the tie, yet still under the collar, Lucius wears a long gold chain around his neck with several keys hanging from several points. Just over his heart hangs a simple, brass pocket watch attached to a leather band from which a single key is attached.

On his hands, he wears fingerless, brown leather gloves and he wears leather bracers on his wrists.

Around his waist he wears a simple brown, leather belt holding up plain white pants with brown material on the outside of each leg. Strapped to his right leg was a leather holster holding his red9 along with several pouches attached to the holster and belt. On his feet he wore rough leather boots.

Over all of this, he wears a fitting brown, collared coat with several pockets and no buttons.
Personality: Lucius is extremely laid-back and has a “been there, done that” attitude. He enjoys conversation with nearly anyone about just about anything, but he tends to get excited when the mention of travel or far away places comes up and has numerous stories he enjoys sharing with anyone who will listen no matter the time. While he enjoys the company of others, he still prefers to distance himself from the main group and absolutely refuses to stagnate in one area for too long.
If he is forced to stagnate for too long, he begins to feel down and eventually irate.
Biography: Lucius was raised a single child in Ukraine for thirteen years and was homeschooled for three years before enrolling into a public school. Throughout school, Lucius usually got in trouble for bad-mouthing the teachers, wandering off the school campus, and for a few cases of theft. They never expelled him, however, due to his good, but not great, grades.
At the age of sixteen, Lucius dropped out of high school to explore the world, tired of being cooped up for so long. Since then, Lucius has been to every continent, many of the states, to some of the most remote places in the world, and has learned a great deal in his adventures.
He has only recently returned to the States within the year after recently obtaining some strange powers and encounter a group that calls themselves the ADAMS.
Skills: Basic survival skills, rock-climbing, some basic hand-to-hand combat skills, gunmanship, sleight-of-hand, wordplay, extensive tinkering, mechanics and engineering skills, some basic hacking skills. Speaks fluent Ukrainian but rarely utilizes it along with several other obscure languages, very minor piloting skills.
Weapons: Red9, KA-BAR utility knife, Mark I trench knife
Sigil Abilities: Machine
Other: Lucius has a great sense of direction and has a vast amount of random knowledge and miscellaneous small skills gathered and learned from his adventures.

Also, he has a small, robust-looking robot consisting of a hemisphere chassis with many exposed wires and gears underneath and four, legs resembling that of a spiders sprouting from underneath. A small camera, shaped much like a spotter, attached to the front to grant the small machine vision. Lucius calls Lafayette. It almost never does much more than rest upon his shoulder.

He tends to have a habit of taking things that don't belong to him.

Character Name: Jack Dillen
Gender: Male
Age: 22
Race: Caucasian
Physical Description: Jack is everything you would expect form someone who has never paid full price for clothing. Holey, ruffed up, worn in, these are a few of his favorite things. Afton seen in an old pare if green cargo pants topped of with a ratty black hoodie. Despite his humble exterior appearance underneath his vagabond clothes is a man that in his own words “cleans up well.” . From his shoulder length blond hair to his dark blue eyes and sun tanned skin he is everything you would find in some fashion magazine. Jack stands about 5’6” and is somewhat thin but is very sturdy and well toned
Personality: Jack has a somewhat dark sense of humor but always seems in a good mood. Not the social type Jack prefers to keep to him self whenever he can not because he doesn’t like people but more that people don’t take to his dark attitude and somewhat sarcastic nature.
Biography: Jack was born and raised in the shadow of the Rocky Mountains. He began working right out of high school and has been longing to leave ever since. He spends most of his days ether working with his father or trying to fix up a small cabin that was left to him by his grandfather. While not altogether unhappy with his he knows that the world is big and he’s not seen nearly enough of it.
Weapons: Most often carries a 8” field knife but prefers a good old fistfight.
Sigil Abilities: I guess I can figure that out in a bit.
Other: Umm… is awesome. smile


I'm hoping to join as soon as I can. This is just a ruff, ruff draft and could use help filling it out. I haven't RP in quite some time and am trying to get back into it.

Yaaay! New person!

Interesting profile. You need to work on your grammar just a bit. There are a couple of spelling mistakes and missed commas. This RP stresses good grammar - that's not to say you shouldn't join or anything. Just that you should check your grammar when you can. And we're all one big happy family here (or at least I try - can't say very much about the GM's or Venom), so we'll point out a mistake if we see one. Lord knows I made my share of mistakes when I started out. sweatdrop

Next point: for personality, you can add a little more. You mentioned in the bio that he's interested in seeing the world - so is he an impatient sort of guy, or is he just adventurous? Give something more than just "he wants to leave." Does he hate his life there? Or is it just too boring? Is he just a curious sort of guy? And since he wants to leave, what kind of places would he want to go to?

Your biography could use some meat. I'm guessing he was a small town boy. Many friends? Did that contribute to his rather anti-social personality? Was there something that made him very pessimistic or did he just learn it from his folks? You mention working for the father - what does he do? Where's the mother in all of this? Because he lives near the Rocky Mountains, does he enjoy mountain climbing? Or physical activity? What hobbies did he get from his environment, if any?

Why is he carry the field knife? I carry a swiss army knife wherever I go, but I do so because I know that it has a bunch of stuff that I use every day (such as opening canned goods). When you say fistfight, does he have a certain style? Like kickboxing or karate? Or did he just learn from experience? Is he a paranoid sort of guy or is it just for convenience (if it's paranoia, you might want to put that in the personality part).

...I apologize if this is a little much, especially since I'm not a GM. But hey, the more info you give, the better it looks. And I'm really glad you're interested in taking part of this RP!
PostPosted: Tue Nov 03, 2009 5:18 pm


No, that's not too much at all. In fact that’s everything I was looking for and more. I was never very good at bios and can use all the help I can get. As for the grammar I'll do the best that I can, poor though it maybe, sadly it's not one of my finer skills.

Character Name: Girlie Navarro
Gender: Female
Age: 23
Race: Filipino-American
Physical Description: Girlie is stands 5'2'' with a naturally dark complexion that Caucasians religiously tan to achieve. She has wide, almond-shaped black eyes and glossy raven hair that flows past her buttocks and almost down to her knees. Her figure leans towards soft rather than sculpted, but beneath her slightly-curvy exterior lies a wall of solid muscle. She seldom wears makeup, and often pulls her hair back in single thick braid. She is almost always seen in a tank top or fitted shirt that accentuates her generous figure, with her jeans tucked into her knee-high Chuck Taylors, but every now and then she can be spotted in a flirty, brightly-patterned sundress.
Personality: Girlie is bubbly and outgoing, and always loves a good laugh. She is without a doubt an optimist, and an incurable romantic. She also tends to be trusting (to a fault). Despite a first impression that screams ditz, she is truly intelligent, and once her mind he set she posses unbreakable determination.
Biography: Girlie was born and raised in Maine just outside of Portland. She participated in several athletic activities, her favorites of which were soccer, kickboxing, and karate, in which she rose to black belt level. She also took up salsa dancing, which she enjoyed but lacked the grace and fluid movement to accel at.
At the age of seventeen she graduated a semester early at the top of her class and attended Juliard, where she picked up theatre and double-majored in Performing Arts and French. She has recently graduated with degrees in both subjects and is enjoying a year off to travel.
Skills: Specializes in hand-to-hand combat and long-distance running.
Weapons: She relies mostly on her feet and fists, but when it comes down to weapons she uses her bow staff.
Sigil Abilities: Water-based ( I’m not really sure what to out here, but I guess that is what this thread is for. My profile is ready to be pummeled beyond recognition now biggrin )
