Rayd Legion

Figured a bit of time has passed so it's probably time for an Adult sheet. Also, I kept the same powers from the last sheet. If you need me to change anything, just let me know.

Adult Profile Sheet

<Insert Photograph Here>

Name: Rayd Legion

Age: 17

Grade: 11

Weight: 198lbs

Height: 6'1

Physical Characteristics: Lean, muscular build, long dark brown hair. White eyes, with no pupils or iris, often covered by sunglasses. He has a tattoo stretching down his left arm and extending up to his neck. He also has a number of notable scars across his body and a small one on the left side of his face, around his jawline.

Known Associates:

Disposition: Relaxed, but cautious. Still getting used to a life where he isn't constantly fighting.

Threat Level:

Known Abilities:1- Rayd has the ability to teleport anywhere he can see. He can also teleport other objects, as long as they are not in contact with another living organism and Rayd can see them.

2- This power enhances the first. Rayd is able to see things from an 'otherworldly' perspective. He can survey the entire world for a place he needs to find, the further away the place is, the longer it takes to find unless it is a place Rayd is familiar with and travels there frequently.


Proficiencies: Rayd is proficient with the use of both guns, and swords. He is also good at hand to hand combat. He was forced to develop these skills to defend himself against demons.

Profile:Rayd is very much a 'damage dealer' He is quick and extremely evasive and can dish out a lot of damage on a single enemy. He is also able to switch quickly between targets.

Psychology: Rayd can come across as an arrogant kinda person at first, however those that know him are well aware of his serious side. He has a good sense of humour considering all he's been through and is very protective of the few people he would consider his friends. He can sometimes be prone to outbursts of anger, if the right buttons are pushed.

Notable History: Rayd was born into a very rich family and like many rich families, his parents were always working and were never home so he was pretty much neglected by his parents. He learnt to live like this and he was a fairly intelligent kid, always getting straight A's for everything he did, and he was one excellent blues guitar player, not that anybody was around to hear him. Though Rayd was tormented by these kids who liked to play their daily game. When Rayd walked home from school he would be teased and chased and then eventually beaten up.

His parents were always too busy or never home and Rayd was forced to soldier on by himself. He kept quiet and never really told anybody until one day he was getting his daily baseball bat to the head when he had had enough. In a fit of rage his eyes turned white and he had teleported around the group of boys, beating each one senseless until they were dead. When he saw the bodies, he knew his life would never be the same. He gathered his belongings and left. He didn't really have anywhere to go so he lived on the streets for a while until the cops finally caught up with him. He hid his belongings and the chase began. Rayd's speed couldn't be outmatched, he was now 14 and very fit, he had a whole lot of money so even though he was living on the streets, he could always buy decent meals. This money was gained by playing guitar on the streets (Now into the more aggressive heavy metal), as well as occasionally stealing from his parents.

Rayd was chased by the police to the edge of a waterfall, and without hesitation Rayd launched himself off of the edge and into the air. Once he was out of sight, he teleported to safety, everybody thinking he was dead. From the day Rayd had committed those murders, scars from his beatings constantly opened, like a curse, and it was very painful, and bloody. His eyes remained white and there wasn't much he could do. He had heard about a place in America where people with powers could go to school, so three years later, at the age of 17 he had earned enough money and arrived, ready to make up for the years he had missed.

Rayd was quite popular and made a fair ammount of friends. He played guitar a lot and was also known for his fighting ability even if it wasn't some fancy type of martial arts. After he had fit in and been doing great, he decided it was time to leave without catching up on the education. He went home, back to make up for the sins he had committed and get rid of the bloody curse which was depriving him of sleep. When he arrived he revealed himself to his parents. His mother was eventually fine with it but his father knew that his son had changed and was always uneasy around Rayd. Rayd approached the ghosts of the kids he had killed and they managed to forgive him, each and every one. At this moment he knew the curse had been lifted and it was until later that he found his new power, a gift from the departed souls of those he had murdered.

Rayd had been home for his 16th birthday and was pretty much living his life performing in a band and going to parties. But unfortunately his father snapped and the police had arrived to collect Rayd, SWAT team and everything. Rayd escaped quite easily and gathered all his belongings, he returned to Manga High to restart his life.

During this time at MHS, he began to be drawn into a war between Demon's and Angels, becoming the balance that separated the two. He wanted no part in it, however after being constantly dragged back in by Satan himself, he had no choice but to fight the war, and bring the balance.

Surviving the war, Rayd has now returned to MHS, ready to live a life of peace.




EXAMPLE ROLE-PLAYING POST:

And so, Mr. Legion, the time is near, you cannot stay neutral forever, and you cannot keep the secret of your constant disappearances for much longer... People will get suspicious and you will be followed, and their curiosity will get them killed. You know as well as I, there are very few that can walk the paths you can.

Rayd sat upright in his bed, once again hearing the voice. He now knew exactly who it was, a lot more familiar than it was the first time he heard it.

There are very few that can walk the paths you can.

He clenched his eyes shut at the thought. The place he had been, countless times since he got back, visiting, out of his own curiosity. He was glad few could walk this path, for it was a place of suffering nobody should have to witness, and yet... he still went there, he was still drawn to the fire, to the pain, to the suffering.

Rayd got up and took a pair of pants from his drawer, putting them on slowly before slipping into a pair of shoes. He then walked into the bathroom and turned on the tap, bending down to wash his face. As he looked up, it was not who he expected, it was him... Then the reflection spoke.

You don't seem to understand the urgency here Rayd my boy. You cannot stay neutral. You are a weapon in this war whether you like it or not and if you don't pick a side, you will be destroyed.

Rayd grinned, unphased by the image before him. He just casually raised his middlen finger and walked out, heading out the door of his room and down the hall.

Suddenly, Rayd was thrown against the wall by an unknown force and a voice could be heard.

I warned you Legion. Start taking this seriously or you will be destroyed

"Your full of shit... You need me and you know it."

Suddenly, the scars which covered his chest split open, blood thrown forward, Rayd crying out, the voice returning.

That's where your wrong. He needs you, not I. I can defeat him without you, but he can't defeat me. Besides, he puts too much faith in you, theres no way your as strong as he seems to think.

Rayd, weakened by the attack, still managed to grin and let out a laugh.

"Hehehe. Thats why you've been following me around, trying to influence my decision while he sits back and leaves me to make it myself... He knows exactly what i'm capable of, but you are uncertain, and thats why you want me."

SILENCE!!!

Once final scar, one underneath Rayd's right eye, extending down his cheek, burst open, Rayd letting out a cry. While Rayd had been through this countless times in the past, he never did get used to the pain for some reason.

He closed his eyes as blood poured down his face and chest, sitting up against the wall in the hallway of the Living Quarters... He may have finally made his decision.

There's one major lore-based thing that needs to be addressed first. There are no MHS graduates in Axiom. Actually, MHS as it stands has never shown a graduating class. MHS only just moved to Axiom a few months ago, and it's a difficult place to gain access to. All the people Rayd knew in high school (I believe he knew Amber?) are actually still at high school, and are about to enter their senior class.

I could offer you a place in that senior class when the test comes around, but Rayd would have to join the junior class and be active in this round of classes. That and he didn't graduate. It's kinda hard to get away from MHS once you join it.

Known Abilities is where you place your power list.
Your profile is blank.
Psychology is where you place the personality.
Notable History is the history section.

Anyway, I won't say anything more about it for now. Think it over, though~

Part of the reason why I was considering doing a new character was so that everything would be a lot easier school-wise. I thought I might just use Rayd here and there and while I try and come up with a new character, then when I come up with a new one, use the new one more and kinda phase out Rayd, or only roleplay him every now and then.

I was gonna roleplay Rayd so that he had a reason to revisit the school, but not as a student, perhaps to investigate something strange going on at the school. But i'm happy to Billy Madison it if you want. :)

As for the mix up with the template, I totally spaced on that, i'll fix it up.

EDIT: Fixed :)

I totally get what you're saying; currently I'm working on a FAQ so people get a better understanding of the boundaries of the newMHS-type world.

I should have explained it better. We don't let people play Seniors of MHS straight off the bat. And we don't have any graduates of MHS in this area because it's likely that they wouldn't be allowed into Axiom due to its high security, much less the new location of the school grounds. There's a whole arc whereby the school had to move from its old location to a higher security one for safety reasons. No one hears of graduates or people who really leave the school anymore. It isn't safe, so I doubt anyone would be allowed to leave without graduating.

When I suggested joining the Junior class, it was mainly in reference to down-aging Rayd so he can go back to the school. Adults and such is a new thing we have that's still being tweaked.

Ahhh, ok I get ya, that makes sense. I'll cut some years off. Pretty sure he was 18 last time I was here, i'll cut it down to that.

EDIT: Changed it to 17 instead. Grade 11 right?

Here's where things get a little difficult. Please bear with me as we work through this~

1. I'm fine with the teleporting. Merge your (1) power and your (2) power under a heading of "Teleportation". Furthermore, explain the restrictions of the objects he can teleport. To see what I mean and as an example, check out Zxaine's profile, as she is also a teleporter.

2. I'm trying to understand the sight power. Breaking it down, I'm struggling to understand what it means when it says he can see "other countries and places". If he can see things differently, it needs to be specifically explained as to how he does and what exactly makes his sight different to others. Sight powers on MHS are usually clearly explained to hone in on a certain proficiency. Sight powers you can look at to see what I mean are Darrien's, Emerald's, Ryan's and even Eight's.

Furthermore, I'm not okay with a student's sight power reaching 5000 Meters in sight.

3. I'm assuming "Rapid Scorn" is to do with essentially shooting energy beams at a rapid speed? To the point where he's almost teleporting the energy through the path? 250-300 meters is a very broad distance for a power. Normally 40 feet is a decent length for a power's range. I'm not okay with 10 shots/slices per second, because Rayd is an untrained student.

For this power to work, I would build on it having nothing to do with either power. Disconnecting the powers is your best bet. So have Teleportation, Sight, and the Energy Shots. The energy ability needs a detailed explanation about how much damage the average hit will do.

Oh! And all your abilities need clear drawbacks. Every power has something, whether it be incredibly taxing on the person or something of that nature.

And make sure your history matches your recent changes! Thanks!

1. No worries, will merge those two.

2. Just noticed the x-ray vision part was in there, dropping that, don't have much use for it. As for the sight power, Rayd can view the world from an 'otherworldly' perspective. He has the ability to survey the world quickly and hone in on places. The further away the place is the longer it will take to locate and more concentration is needed. Closer the place, easier to see, and familiar places are easier to locate also. This is used in conjunction with his teleportation to travel long distances. It is also something Rayd uses often in combat, giving himself a birds eye view of his surroundings in order to have an edge in a fight with multiple enemies. I'll flesh it out more, I noticed it was pretty vague.

3.The rapid scorn power is actually not needed. I just came up with it because I was entitled to an extra power slot at the time. I can't actually think of any reason why I actually need it so I can just wipe it.

Rather than numbering your abilities, can you give them named headings such as "Teleportation" and whatever else you intend to call the other power?

Travelling long distance doesn't need to be done through a sight power. Separate your powers so they have nothing to do with each other because otherwise it's very messy. And actually, we only let teleporters travel to their home if it's across the country. Beyond that? There's not a chance I'm afraid. If a character wants to go somewhere for some reason, they talk to the staff at the school who can arrange their Aeon device (Which I hope you read about) to send them there and back in an allotted time frame.

I'm afraid that I'm really not understanding the sight power. I don't know what an otherworldly perspective is, and if you want it you really have to explain it to me in an almost overly descriptive way. I read it to be akin to Bayonetta seeing other dimensions, and I doubt that's what you mean. That means you need to explain it differently. Do you mean he can see the world like he's looking at a map or something? Because I don't really get that from your description. And your description needs to be in the power, not in a reply to me on the character sheet. If it's the map-type thing, then using a birds eye view for combat is a different sight power all together. Pick one or the other; I suggest the latter because I'm not allowing a map-type power for a student.

Ok, well unfortunately I might have to look at coming up with a completely new character because i'm not particularly comfortable with overhauling Rayd this much.

The best analogy I can come up with for the sight power is like having a highly detailed 'google earth' like vision. When I first started here, he only had the teleportation power which was limited to what he could see with his own two eyes, later on I was able to get a new power and thought my best option was to create a power that enhanced the original. Rayd could only teleport to places he could see, so remove the limit. This is why the powers are linked.

I understand you have new rules that are obviously much more strict and that's fair, but i'd rather create a new character under these rules than change a character i've roleplayed for the last 10 years or so (The concept for this character evolved from other Rayd's on different RP boards) into something completely different.

The choice is yours really. I did mention that the overhaul would be relatively substantial. If you look at the breakdown of his powers, you should be able to understand why we need to be this way. In relation to everyone else, he is stronger than our teaching staff. And he's only seventeen.

The reason I warned you was because I thought this might happen. If you want to make a new character, that's your choice. I'll delete this thread and archive the character again. I'm happy to do that if you're uncomfortable complying with the changes I've not only asked of you, but every other pre-existing character who was brought over from the old boards. You wouldn't be the first, y'know? No hard feelings on my end.

But in my right mind I simply cannot accept a character this overpowered.

Just PM me your decision and I'll handle it.
