Play By: Zayne Malik Francisco Lachowski [/scrolly] THE PERSONALITY [scrolly:h(120),w(400),sy]Likes: Sunlight Stars Food (strangely, salad in particular) Fast cars Fast music Neon colors Dislikes: Being alone Crying Death Darkness Medication General: From first impression, most would think of Luz as having a happy-go-lucky personality, which is really strange considering the morbid situations he’s always in. When encountered with problems his obliviousness leaves him a lot more optimistic that most people would be. Culture from his home planet have taught him to be increasingly loving and open-minded; though young, he’s had a lot of experience with things many would find controversial. His talkative nature often leads him to telling stories that many people would rather not hear. He finds interest in things that most take for granted. This often works the other way around as well, him considering things like money and other riches to be trivial. The conditions are really wary, but despite his wrong-doings he can often be seen taking on a protective stance for those around him. Because of the cruel acts he often performs, people are often confused by his friendly nature, something that he doesn’t take kindly to. Despite this friendly impression, half of the people unlucky enough to be in his presence have seen a darker side of him, the side that he has less control over than he usually does. Considering his moody nature, an insane high can turn into a dangerous low, turning him into either a depressed loner or a homicidal monster. Because these sorts tantrums tend to come up unexpectedly, people find him hard to be around, and this often fuels his rage in an endless cycle that can be hard for him to escape until it’s fully drained of energy. To list a few more flaws, Luz also seems to have a phobia of being both alone and forgotten about. When it comes to making friends, parting usually leaves him with symptoms similar to separation anxiety. From most people's standards, he jumps into most relationships fairly quickly and trusts people a little too easily. Ironically, when it comes to serious issues, he tends to take things too lightheartedly and passive. [/scrolly] THE SKILLS He’s not a chef, but cooking is something that came naturally as he’s always trying to stuff his face. Luz also has a photographic memory. When he’s calm enough to pay attention he is also a quick learner. As a warrior lifestyle is embraced on his home planet, hand-to-hand combat is something he’s very familiar with. THE MUTATIONS Superhuman strength. Luz was born on a planet with less gravity than Earth; also one close to the sun meaning he receives much more vitamin D. Because of these things, his muscle tissue is more dense and compressed than the average humans and he is naturally stronger than many humans are capable of being. The extent of this power is to that of lifting a car and throwing it. Not a whole building, at this point, maybe not even a city bus. Inhuman durability. This pretty much feeds off the previous paragraph. Luz heals faster than the average human. He can’t regenerate limbs, but a bullet hole will be completely healed in the course of about twenty hours. The number of wounds doesn't change the speed in which he heals, but since this sort of action happens on it's own, it does tire his body out more without him really doing anything extra and there's no way to get around it. Broken bones can be fixed, however it's imperative that a cast be fitted as soon as possible to be sure the bones are set in the right position. Because of this, of course there is a certain extent where his bones can be broken to the point that they are unable to be sculpted into their original shape. As his body will try to patch itself back together like normally, the results would not be pretty. This mutation only slightly affects his visual appearance as far as aging. Due to a reduction of wrinkles and sagging skin, overall he would look about five years younger than normal. Even as an elder, the signs of his age would be apparent in ways other than his skin as long as he continues to use his powers. Life expectancy is also longer than the average human with most Tameraneans living to be about 200. Light generation. Luz is able to absorb ultraviolet rays and emits them as beams of light from his body. He can also expel them at a target from his fingers or eyes. The energy absorbed is is not to be confused with an electric charge, so his powers to not affect magnetism let alone electronics. The charge harvested from the sun can also be stored in his hands, causing them to glow as well and emit heat intense heat. According to his heritage, this power hasn’t reached full fruition yet. The mutation develops just before puberty and matures from there. Adults of his kind are able to levitate by using the energy stored in their hands to negate the forces of gravity, shoot bolts of ultraviolet energy and generate beams five times brighter than his current level which is about the brightness of a flood-light. THE WEAKNESSES The main source of his power is sunlight. Without constant exposure to this element, within a few days Luz would be completely powerless--or SUPERpowerles as he would still have athletic skill though not the excessive strength. His biggest weakness seems to be his moodiness. Luz’s powers fuel off of his emotions. Because of this, any show of arrogance will practically turn him into a walking candle. Not ideal for sneaky situations. Also, if he were to be having one of his angry days, his powers would actually flare up to the point where he couldn’t control them. The limits of these flares are that of a fully matured Tamaranean. His reason for not being able to control this are lack of experience and also--since he's dealing with such intense heat--his pain tolerance isn't exactly up to par even though he doesn't get severely injured by it. As could be expected, his emotional episodes often give him bad judgement and lead him to making many careless mistakes. As stated before, at times he can be relentless, constantly trying something impossible until he tires himself out. Depending on how aggressive he is, these fits usually go on for about a couple hours if he's doing somethings strenuous, less so if he gets bored or there's any other outside intervention. He can throw about five cars before he has to take a ten minute break. THE HISTORY As in New York City, life on Tamaran is not what it used to be. Life on Tamran, (the first Tamaran) used to be paradise, a place where man a natured lived together in peace and harmony centuries. Inevitably, this time came to a change as the planet has since then been repeatedly thrown into war, many of which resulted in loss and destruction of the places in which they called home. After dethroning her mother, Starfire’s sister Blackfire ruled Tamaran for centuries after, her aggressive nature uniting the people through riot mentality, turning the once-loving people into ruthless animals. As protection of fellow Tamaran’s has always been a valued aspect of their culture, the people adapted to this new Spartan-esque lifestyle fairly quickly. However, everyone was not happy with the new warrior nation. There were many who opposed the oppression of other planets now that there was no longer a threat--within this group was Luz’s parents. Unfortunately, Blackfire did not see eye-to-eye with this, identifying it as the same weakness that was represented by her mother. With the rest of the planet following suit, the heretics were banished, cast off into the solar system with no prior direction. With no other place to go, everyone knew exactly where they were headed; to Earth: the only known neutral territory in this expansive war (as revealed by Starfire). Intending to receive mercy from their ex-princess, the group landed in New York, the place where she was last seen. However, reaching the rubble once known as Titan’s tower, she was nowhere to be found. All that was left here was more war, and that was the last thing thing that they wanted. Averted by this, the small group of heretics began to fall apart. Half decided to stay here on Earth, the other have ascended back into space intending on either begging for mercy from Blackfire or heading deeper into space in search for more neutral planets. Luz, now being raised in a small clan of Tamarins in the new New York tried live life in the masquerade of a human. Things were fine until his pre-pubescent stage, when bumping into things turned into knocking things off their hinges and smashing dents in walls. From there he started getting “special” attention, being sought out by a group known as the “United”. Sounded peaceful enough. As there were the people in charge, Luz assumed that, even though this sort of oppressive control seemed strange from his prospective--utterly atrocious to his parents--that they were possibly doing the right thing to do. It’s unknown exactly who or what got him thinking this way. Schooling, perhaps? But now he’s beginning to have serious doubts about the people he’s working for. THE PLAYER Name: ExCervantez Time Zone: Eastern. Contact Info: PM Roleplay Sample: Trailing down the middle of the street aimlessly, it was a little hard to ignore the fact that with a glance of the silver bracelet on his wrist, everyone who’d previously been walking in front of him was now pressed against the walls either side of him. People slowly shifted over the curb onto the sidewalk, destined to stay as far away from him as possible. It made him feel like he had a contagious disease. He heard the low murmurs of their as they were probably making rude remarks. However, though the humming in his head he couldn’t make the words out. He just kept smiling and walking. The more he did so, the quicker everyone seemed to turn away. ‘Not exactly how I planned my day to go, but at least nothing bad has happened yet.’ Almost in response to this thoughts, he heard some cry out about half a block down he street. A kid with a stroller had just accidentally dumbed a toddler on the sidewalk. ‘Not good, not good at all . . . but I can help.’ Quickly, Luz ran over, which doing so he realized that the kid pushing the stroller was not much older than the first. The two kids seemed to be more-or-less playing than actually going on a serious walk. “Hey little guy,” he picked up the smaller one who’d been laying face-down on the sidewalk, barely mustering a grip on the child as to not break any ribs. “You okay? You really shouldn’t be playing in the street,” not because there were moving cars, just because there were so many potholes. “Is your mother--” Again, right on cue, a woman rushed out from he town house behind them. “Oh! Thank you so much. I saw it all happen from the window upstairs and I just couldn’t make it down here fast enough. I set the pot down so fast I spilled spaghetti on the . . .” her face hardened as her eyes trailed down to his wrist . . . then his fitting clothes . . . then his now scowling face. “. . . cat.” She turned around immediately and headed back into her house, snatching up the other child who’d been quietly staring. And at that, he snapped. When the blinding light burned his eyes everything else went blank. |
