For his entire life the idea of civilian death means a mission failure. He is a man of duty, always vigilant. He doesn't relax unless commanded to. He is too trusting, save his life once and he will likely trust you. He is a very good team player. He explores alone, and doesn't like to scout or explore in a team of amateurs. Despite that he is willing to become a caring teacher, to make sure they have a good chance of survival in the world. Atlas has a strange sense of humor, referencing things almost ancient many times. He is sarcastic sometimes and is very simplistic. He is also a friendly person, calm and patient. His temper is extraordinarily nonexistant. He sees anger as nothing but an emotion to make people make mistakes. He is easily frustrated however. [/scrolly] THE SKILLS Atlas is an expert marksman, a bit savvy with electronics and computer systems, but by far no tech expert. Atlas is also a master of stealth, evasion and pathfinding. Pathfinding being the ability to overcome terrain problems, a skill valuable in the ruins. THE MUTATIONS Atlas has superior reaction timing compared to normal humans, he could catch a fly hovering around him with no problem at all. If at attention he could possibly dodge a bullet. He also has magic abilities, using the elements, Fire, Earth and Lightning. His tattoos change color when he goes into a 'mode' which allows him to control said elements. Red for fire, brown for Earth and white with blue outlines for lightning. His magic is not limited to spells, but his physical, and mental capabilities. The longer he stays in a mode, the stronger his headache becomes, 30 minutes until it becomes unbearable and he is forced to stop. In Earth mode he is able to control, lift, manipulate, various things. Such as dirt and sand, the simplest, mud, a bit harder, and eventually rocks such as Obsidian or even concrete, harder, but possible. The amount of Earth that is controlled also plays a factor, a few tons of dirt is obviously going to be harder to control then a boulder, since Atlas has to control every speck of dirt, whilst a boulder, just one big rock. His Earth magic is mostly defensive, or surgical strikes. He is able to break apart and launch rocks at very fast speeds, essentially making bullets. This won't take too much out of him, because he's merely directing where the bullet would go, and launching it. Complicating it now, Atlas can directly control said rock bullets to change direction, increase or decrease velocity, but it would take much more out of him. For defensive moves, Atlas can create a shield of rock, varying in type of rock. Granite would be quite easy, concrete would be the hardest. In Earth mode, among the simplest things is to create weapons, such as shields, swords, spears, out of sharp rock. There are many factors to this element. Material, depending on the material's hardness, a rock would take less time and concentration while concrete would take more time and concentration. Complexity, making a working gun out of rock would take a lot of stamina, while making a rock shield would take much less, and a lot less time. Making a concrete shield would take more stamina, concentration and time due to the Material rule. Then, Amount. Making one rock sword is obviously going to be fast and nearly no stamina, making 100 though, is much more difficult. Making a simple wall rock shield takes less time, concentration and stamina then a full semicircle shield, because the semicircle shield has more stuff in it. Among the most useful, is the elements lasting effect. If Atlas makes a rock sword, he can switch elemental modes and the sword would still be intact. Fire is more offensive. Atlas manipulates fire, he does not create it. Manipulating fire is relatively simple, though still using the three rules. Material, Complexity and Amount. The different types of fire makes it easier or harder to manipulate, the hotter the flame it, the more difficult to shape and move. Complexity, throwing a fireball is easy, making a dragon out of fire and controlling to make it as if it has a mind of its own... Not so much, might probably knock out Atlas as well. Amount, manipulating a small candle fire would be a walk in the park, though, controlling all of the fire from an fiery explosion will take more concentration, and take more stamina out of him. Lightning is a special one. He can absorb electricity, and his body acts like a battery. He can use the electricity as an alternate fuel for his body, refueling it and pumping it up. As well as directing and controlling the electricity into attacks, or even shock paddles (Defibrillators). Again, the three rules. Material, Complexity and Amount. For Material, it is the type of Electricity, Static Electricity cannot serve any more purpose then a small boost of fuel. Current electricity is the easiest and most useful, it can act as fuel, and as a weapon. Actual lightning, as in the lightning from the sky, or very strong electrical arcs are very deadly to Atlas, but despite the danger, it is also a huge source of power. We'll get back to that later. Complexity, complexity is a big a factor as everything else. Hurling a single bolt of lightning is easy, hurling several is a bit harder. Atlas can also manipulate Lightning, he can create blades of lightning on his arms, though devastating, they take up a lot of charge. Charge, a rule special to Lightning, its the amount of electricity Atlas has in his body, since his body is a lot like a battery when in lightning mode. THE WEAKNESSES Atlas is just a normal man, a gun will kill him, a spear will kill him, a strong punch would break a bone, etc. His magic power is quite limited. He can only control Fire and Earth when the elements are present and only control one element at a time, and the larger and more complex it is, the ever increasing in pain headache comes. Making him lose the very focus he needs to use such magic. He can use Fire and Earth at a limit of 30 minutes, he has tried going further but the barrier of the headache is too strong. When he first figured out he had magical potential, his limit was 20 minutes. So the more he uses it, the more he can use, however, 10 minutes in 5 years is not exactly spectacular progress. The lightning element. Atlas's body is much like a battery in this mode. He can only absorb one burst of electricity while in this mode, going over the 'batterys limit' would result in stronger power and longer juice, but the overcharge would render Atlas pretty much combat ineffective over the course of a few days. While in Lightning mode water is his greatest enemy, it will short out the Electricity in his body and cause some bad damage, as well as take out the Charge in his body. THE HISTORY The Underground was a small town just outside of NYC, whenever the Reavers or United visited, the residents of the town seemed to simply disappear. Their ability to hide and evade was amazing. Just recently, about 50 years ago, the town found an underground complex. One of the supers tore the door open and they had found an underground military base. Complete with 5 heavily armed and upgraded Humvees, two of which are in repairs. Several quad-bikes, and even a large armory. The armory consisted of a large ammo dump, M4's, M16's, SCAR-H's and L's, pistols, explosives, weapon attachments, even Kevlar and bulletproof vests, and even military grade technology. Such as radios, helmets, sunglasses, gloves, boots, uniforms, battery powered NV Goggles and other equipment and tools. And lots of batteries. The town found a room full of papers, manuals, reports, and recordings of training sessions and actual battles. They learned, they trained within the large firing range in the base and practiced tactics outside, using the ammo dump's plastic/rubber bullets to practice in mock battles. About 120 in numbers, each of them trained in basic weapons. The dedicated soldiers trained with advanced weapons and tactics. They hit a jackpot, and in honor of their great luck they took on the name, The Underground. Atlas was one of those soldiers, showing great promise with hand to hand, shooting and quick thinking, he quickly rose to a squad leader position. He, his team have had several skirmishes with the United and Reavers before, each time overcoming them with clever tactics and superior equipment. The one battle that distinguished him from the others was the first major attack on the Underground home. A large Reaver force came and attacked the base. With the Underground defenders having superior positioning and cover they held, but they could not hold forever. Atlas had the idea of dismounting one of the .50 Cal machine guns from one of the disabled Humvees, he and his team took it to a nearby ridge where they flanked and killed many Reavers. The sudden surge of lead coming from their flank forced the Reavers to retreat, and the Underground made Atlas a scout, and an explorer. He was to explore the NYC, to assess the situation, and help any faction who was willing to be in an alliance with the Underground, and who was obviously, good guys. In his travels Atlas found a book store, the door was locked, but he shot it and got in. He found that it was no normal book store, but a store that sold magic textbooks. Atlas laughed at the idea and read some of the books for fun, he tried out the elements that he learned and figured out, that it actually worked. To his surprise he could control three elements. He spent several days testing what his limits were, what he could do and what he could not. Several painful days later he came out and locked up the shop again, one of the drawers were filled with padlocks. Over the years he practiced and explored, alone. THE PLAYER Name: Victor Q. Time Zone: -7 GMT Contact Info: Skype - Noodleman1337 I dont want anyone spammin me. ): Character Theme Song: www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5oSTFlg4s0 Roleplay Sample: (I use a lot of NPCs.) Atlas swallowed a gulp of 3rd water, the filthy, but drinkable liquid flowed down his throat like a bitter medicine, but it was water none the less. He and his squad sat around the campfire, at was the dead of night. Janis took out her old ragged guitar and began to sing. Atlas hadn't recognized it at first, but of course, he wasn't paying any attention either. His eyes were looking at the terrain. Ruins behind more ruins. This was New York City, the city that never slept, the famous city of America, now in ruins. Forever sleeping. "Dark stars strive to shine I still remember the blue ocean In this dying world..." Janis sang, Atlas recognized it now, Dirge for the Planet, by Firelake. A song about a destroyed earth. How symbolic, NYC was the world for Janis, she always dreamed that the city would once rise again to its former glory. She kept on dreaming until the Reavers attacked one of the Underground towns, and the United cleaned up the rest, killing Janis's parents along with many others. Atlas checked his watch, 5 more minutes until they arrive. He took off his backpack and screwed on the silencer and put on the night vision. He tapped his watch and Janis stopped singing, the rest of Atlas's team did the same. Silencers on, night vision on. Bishop put out the fire and the team moved to the small hill of rubble. Soon, the targets arrived. A Reaver convoy of about 25 strong, escorting about 5 young girls... To be slaves to Reaver leaders. Slaves, the word made Atlas's blood boil. He looked across the street and saw a thumbs up and several heads in the ruins. It was Horizon Squad, another Underground militant squad. They were ready, Atlas gave the same thumbs up. Three... Two... One... In half a second the symphony of puffs started. Twelve of the Reavers fell in the first salvo, and an additional 6 before they even got their guns up. The last two was quickly dispatched. The young girls seemed very confused. Atlas rose from the rubble, the three bright green eyes of the NV goggles stared at them, five more appeared near Atlas, and another 6 on the opposite side of the street. Atlas walked down to them and took off the chains that bound them. "Razgriz returns as a great hero..." One of the girls said, then fell unconscious. Janis rushed to her side, "She's fine." Atlas nodded, and Horizon squad came walking down as well. "Command, this is Horizon Lead. We have rescued the prisoners and are proceeding back home. Give all the credit to them, Razgriz squad got most of the kills." |
