    Sol [Sign-Ups/OoC]

    [ Sol ]
    *An OmniChaos and Ubiquity collaboration*

    Earth, our planet... Well, their planet, or at least it seems like there are those who wish it to be like that. Though, whether or not this issue is really a matter up for discussion is another story entirely. The people of the world know that the world isn't going anywhere and, apparently, neither are the ones that have come to be known as the Helio, along with places such as the Eos Boarding Schools. These schools exist for those that are different, for those who are changing, and for those who just might have a chance to blossom into something more: an entity that is greater than the common human being. These people, one day, will grow into a being known as a Sol, but for now they shall remain a Selene.

    A long time ago, humans who showed signs of change were heralded as witches or as warlocks. Regardless of the foul names given to them, these people had two things in common: They were different, usually with some sort of incomprehensible power, and they were killed because of it. These people were ones destined to be gifted by the magics of the earth, whether it be an affinity for fire or the delicate ability to hear from miles away, the higher being had for some reason chosen these people.

    However, they were marked, thus, most of the time, sealing their fate...

    Those gifted by magic are imbued with an outline of a sun on their forehead. It is well known that such a symbol automatically means that one houses a gift of magic, but even so, a mere sun with rays of light only shows the Selene, the child stage of the Helio, is growing. The body of a Selene goes through a certain change that fully brings them into a form known as the Sol, the adult stage of the Helio. When this finally happens, the purple sun mark is filled in and the mark expands, a design fitting for the Helio's affinity, and normally makes its way across the forehead, down the cheeks and to the neck. However, not everybody completes the change. Many Helio die, which is the main purpose of the Eos Boarding Schools.

    It is here that Selene begins to understand and learn what it will mean to turn into a Sol, especially about the physical changes. The body becomes more balanced, sight is sharper, healing is faster, and there is no longer a need to rest for long periods of time. Hair and nails grow faster than before and aging slows down to a pace that out-dates humans for centuries at times. There is certainly more, but Selene learn of these things as they are at the Eos Boarding schools; that is if they make it. Many Selene die before the change is complete as their bodies reject the change and they bleed out from every orifice, slipping away unto nothing.

    For the most part, the majority of humans are either welcoming or indifferent toward the Helio and the boarding schools for them. There are some who believe the Helio are the next step in human evolution or that they are beings sent down from heaven, while some think they are nothing more than regular people tricking people into believing they are special.

    Then, there are those who believe what the Helio are and what they are doing is both a sin and a crime against nature...

    Stefan XIV, who just recently been given the title Pope, is one of these people. He believes that the Helio are evil beings who were sent to coax the weak-minded with their dark magic provided by Satan and that they must be stopped as they threaten the souls of the innocent. Therefore, Pope Stefan XIV secretly ordered a special group of people to go forth and deal with the Helio problem. Thus the Seven Virtues, seven blessed followers of God who each adopted one of the seven heavenly virtues as their name and personality, left Vatican City and began their mission.

    The Seven Virtues first scattered across Europe, wiping out every, single Helio school that was known. With Europe cleansed of this evil, the Seven Virtues traveled across Asia and then Africa, continuing to wipe out the boarding schools. With those three continents clean, the Seven Virtues made their ways to the Americas, starting with the northern continent. Their first stop brought them to Albany, New York, where an Eos Boarding School resided. However, unbeknownst to them, this particular school was different...



    [ Affinity ]

    Now blessed by the mark of God, the Helio are granted the powers of magic. However as cliche as this can sound magic does not mean that somebody can blink and cast a fire spell. Helio have what one would call an affinity, a blessed status that grants them as the name implies an affinity for a select thing. For instance one with an affinity for dogs would be able to communicate with any kind of dog, take to their hearts, and understand their feelings, maybe even take on the form of powers of a canine. Keep this notion in mind when selecting your affinity(s) and don't go overboard as Selenes don't have complete control, or knowledge of their affinity.

    As I know many of you will ask, it is possible to be blessed with an affinity to an element, maybe even more than one, but because that is completely cliche and I get sick of seeing the same shit, elemental affinities are severely limited... Lastly, take note that Selene and Sol are able to cover themselves in mist and darkness as to be unseen and unheard, but not always from each other, and not always perfectly...

    [ Rules ]

    1. No Godmodding or power-playing.
    2. Literacy: It's understandable that no one is perfect, but no one wants to read a post full of incomprehensible crap.
    3. Romance is allowed, just keep it within the forum standards.
    4. The rp may be somewhat mature (e.g., deaths may be graphic). If you can't handle it, don't join.
    5. No limitations for the number of characters you have. You just need to be able to keep up with them all.
    6. Activity: Please, only join if you plan on posting. I don't want someone to join and never post. It's very annoying. Also, if you do plan on joining and start up a template, finish it. Finally, I ask for the people who will participate in the rp to stay an active poster. Posting once or twice a week isn't asking too much.
    7. Keep the fighting realistic. No one wants to be in a fight with a person who dodges everything you throw at them.
    8. No one liners. One paragraph minimum, strive for at least two.
    9. The spots for the Virtues require both a good template and an example post that should prove your skill and show that you have an understanding of the character's virtuous personality.
    10. Ubi and I reserve the right to deny you from joining or remove you from the rp and may if it is deemed necessary.
    11. Enjoy.

    It's coming back? I suppose I'll hop in. I did have an idea for Diligence. But if I recall the old templates correctly, it had some similarities with what Kindness was at the time. So NS is changing something, and an RPer that's actually good comes along, then I'm pretty much sunk.

    But I'll devise something for the retry.

    Name: Temperance Reforge(Reh-Frij)

    Gender: Yeh he’ s a guy, just looks like a kid is all.

    Age: Uh what?? Reforge is hella old, by thinking on the basis that Reforge is as old as what just might be and now in this kind of form, one could say that he is an ageless being of manifestation and has lived for many spans at a time. Age is a meaningless notion for him because of this but he is certainly older than you. Think of reincarnation or something cool like that and before you ask questions, we’ll say that right now as a Virtue, he is 119.…

    Appearance: A cute lil thing, he has creamy caramel or lighter colored skin, Reforge stands at a short 4‘3, and has a tiny little body build as most kids do. He stands up right most of the time and tries hard not to slump, but it comes with the being he is. Yeh I know you wanna just stare at his adorable little flat face don’t ya?? Just look at it and giggle. The hair atop his head is like completely anime random so you can compare it to Goten’s hair if you want to; Just huge spikes of hair going this way and that. Mind you he is just soooo cute that the hair doesn‘t look at all busted. There is so much of it that in some places it sticks up and backwards or falls over his eyes and stuff. If you look closely there is a headband or something on his head and attached to that are orbs of coagulated essence. In this state of literal embodiment that is Reforge’s true form so to speak, he has no eyebrows and for some reason there is a zipper going up his back, and then vanishing only to pop up again behind his head. Runes are beneath each of his teal colored eyes and each of them periodically changes color.

    Unlike his other form, this body isn’t tall and bulging with any bit of muscle, but it doesn’t mean that because he is smaller that Reforge is any weaker than he used to be. Having a trail of what seems to be both flames and a mixture of fur and essence that wraps around his legs and sweeps across the ground most of the time, his adult looking form has a pair of massive wings, but instead of that Reforge as a child has three small sets of wings that you can barely see on his back. They are made of naught a basis of power that Reforge doesn’t readily control, but is quite in fact the embodiment of his counter part Garforge. Neither of his hands is visible, but of course he has some. Little kids needs hands to mess with things.

    Reforge wears a sleek white coat/robe/armor plate that is shaded in random glimmers of every color you could think of and at times some random colors that only exist because at that point Reforge wants them to. The top part of his attire is fitted with quite a few straps and zippers which doesn’t make a lot of sense since they don’t really do anything, but he’s taken to the style as is. Though obviously attached to the rest of the clothing back a belt and buckle with an intrinsic rune that spins, the center and both flaps open and reveal a space filled with apparent nothingness that tells the story of why Reforge isn’t normally seen in this child form…

    Personality: Reforge is put off by others more than anything else, but he seems to have a rather gentle nature at times His long span of life being that which has gained him immeasurable amounts of knowledge His past is based on so much turmoil and the concept of the terrible that he merely exists and thus his fathom for being gets larger. Temperance has a near constant perception of his surroundings and is mindful of the complications that he and others just might cause, his levels of self control are at an extreme and he has no problem resisting bodily pleasures and other pleasing things about life. Temperance chooses to act in full moderation......

    Holy Gift: Essence Infinity

    The essence in planes whether it be magick, physicality, or spiritually based, even absurd things not mentioned or the lot, The format of raw essence to formulate, use, breakdown, interpret, and create or destroy what is within limits. The prowess to build or ruin on whim, an epitome of the first extremity, Able to direct the essence of existence to do his bidding along with empathic superiority, Reforge’s structuring is nearly the raw makeup of existence so no notion of drawing upon him is plausible, as such he is a partial meta-physical being and though Reforge IS in space and time, chronic-impulsive forces render unnatural or irregular time/space manipulation upon him ineffective.

    The eternity shaper vying from the source, and completion of what is, Ref holds the building blocks to you and me, the celestial forces of essence and magickal constructs give him probable high physical power. Ref can reconstruct finite pockets of what is reality and transform configurations of essences. And as the Essence Shaper his intelligence is something close to boundless

    Bio: Well what is there to tell about Temperance Reforge?? One could say many things about him, and one could go one for quite some bit of time while thinking about these kinds of things. One should probably start by talking about his unusual childhood, so that is what we’ll do at this point in time.

    Born at some time years ago, Reforge was just a child in Africa that for his age once he passed being a toddler was well respected. Why might you ask?? Because Reforge was a genius. More than that actually his brain so well developed that he at the age of 10 ended up being a great physicist and also a biologist. When at such a raw age one ends up dealing with these kinds of things, Reforge was like a deity to his people and because of this he certainly loved the respect that he was given.

    Making medicine and figuring out things about the human body that made life much easier was more than one could ask for in such a small village where nobody was really all that educated, with that said and over with….years ended up passing and now Reforge was at the age of 15.……

    One day preferably like any other day now that he was living in Egypt, Reforge was working on a study for a new developmental process that would allow for the growth of bodily tissue to heal injuries faster than normal. By displacing the way that the body should work, cell repair was quicker, and with the secrets withheld, the body did not age faster because of this find. After a few odd days before that lead up to this day, Reforge was realizing that he was troubled with confusing thoughts, ones that he couldn’t tell were things he would even be thinking about at all.

    The commotion outside made these things come together. Establishing the fact that he was actually reading the thoughts of others, Reforge found that on top of all of his genius he also had a lot of other talents. Knowledge was one thing for the young Reforge, but this was something unheard of for him and he at once sought to control this odd but fascinating power so he could learn more about the world. It was then that he changed his name to Temperance, finding it more suitable for the way he treated others and thought and simply coming to the realization that from the way he was in a past life, these things changed with time and his abilities stemmed from an idea far beyond psionics.

    By this time Temperance had grown to know that he also could control things with essence which made for the increase in his studies and also the manipulation of his surrounds though he didn’t go as far as others might have expected him to. So it was established that Reforge became one of the most pronounced and famous people in the world, his prowess that one a mind that was many minds and he ended up moving on to working with the bio-structuring of those around him including himself in the present into a rather shocking child based form. Seeking the refuge of those that didn’t want him for just what he could do, Temperance ultimately ended up moving away from all that he had, and turning to religion, though he still kept his beliefs and didn’t choose to shun others. His tattoos marking him as one of the causes of peace in the world though criticizing himself due to having fought in BOTH World Wars before he transformed himself.

    So now being more than a bit absorbed in religion, Temperance took up residence in, Moldova for a lengthy period of time, honing his powers and growing ever stronger in his ways until Temperance found his way to the Vatican. Once again you could ask why?? The answer is simple. Temperance was one of the most well known biologists, physicists, an inspiration, and preachers there was PERIOD, and there was now a new pope. Pope Stefan XIV

    Now this was a man whom was just as found as any other man, just apparently more so, he was an influential person, and there was the matter of the Helio that now needed to be dealt with. Temperance didn’t really have a problem with Helio, especially because he had known many during his days on Earth, but if they were to be a problem to the spread of what was holy, then by all means, they merely needed to be stopped. And then came about the Seven Virtues. A group of 7 whom were blessed by God and had the right to wield holy powers that had also been blessed by the pope.

    That was when the really bad violence started…..

    This seems cool. I wanna join.

    Name: Shane Andrews

    Gender: Male

    Age: 19

    Appearance: Sleek brown hair that lays flat on his head. Green eyes. A lean, slightly muscular build. He usually wears a plain white T-shirt and jeans with back sneakers. If the weather calls for it he wears a black jacket. His hair comes down and parts slightly over his forehead, hiding his mark at a distance but if you're up close anyone can easily see it.

    Personality: He takes everything with a calm manner, often wanting all the facts before he makes a desicion. He's not quick to anger but when he does get angry he also gets very violent, especially when it involves friends or people he cares about. He's not particularly charming but he can catch girls attention when he wants to so he's made plenty of friends all over the place. He looks after his friends like a big brother, but still keeps a friendly atmosphere about him even then.

    Affinity(s): There's not really a name for it that I know. He can reflect or refract things that enter his personal space. He can expand the space where he can reflect things but only for short amounts of time. Ex.: if someone shoots bullets at him he can either reflect them directly back or angle them somewhere else. He can reflect anything but the stronger the force the more of his energy it takes to reflect.

    Bio: A Junior at the Albany Eos Boarding School. He was born in St. Louis MO but when it was discovered what his powers were he was moved. He doesn't remember much about his family, just that his mother and father were caring people and his sister was annoying but nice. He remembers where he used to live and plans to one day go back and meet his family again. Albany is different from what he remembers of St. Louis, but in many ways it's also the same.

    Other: He likes one girl at the Eos Boarding school but has never asked her out. Instead he just flirts with her whenever he gets the chance. He devotes at least an hour of every day to practicing and refining his powers for better use. He wants to use his powers to help people someday.

    Your template isn't bad at all, but here are problems that automatically can arise with your affinity.

    If you control space and can distort it with magick or energy, you can't possibly control it to the point that nobdy can get ou tunless you say so because that means that other forces against yours are somehow helpless. I'm merely implying that if one were to go against a spatial force a vying ush against it should be able with a lot of effort depending on what YOU have donem be able to fight back,

    The shielding would be great if you explained it some more. Currently just saying that you can make a wall of space to reflect things makes little sense because space is nearly everywhere as it is. You must be doing something with the space to reflect or refract objects and energies in tow. The same concepts from the previous paragraph apply here and to the box idea as well. Extreme forces or a counter action in essence if available should be able to break through your forces or a dimension rift.

    keep in mind that if you want good powers, explantion can mean everything.

    I'm not saying you HAVE to edit it at all, but that with what I mnetioned some of your powers might become invalid. You're accepted.

    lol it didn't bother me before, you are saying it like I was worried bout being murked by your character. I spoke only for your well being.

    Seriously, your other powers were better, you took a lot out of what you had there before. All that's left is your defense and an energy draw on your part. Do what ya do. that power is certainly acceptable, just like your other one was one was.

    The only thing I can tell any of you is think about your affinities as you make them up and try to have something that you can work with, or more so, work with you. if you can explain it, it more than likely will check out and be accepted.

    I thought you were saying I was taking too much for my characters affinity. I liked the one before but I like the power he has now.

    Oh, and I just found an example of Shane's powers. If you've ever read the manga or seen the anime To Aru Justsu no Index then his powers are like Accelerator's.
