Reyn

[Reyn]

Name: Jonathan "Reyn" Reynhart

Age: 19

Animal: N/A

Power: Reyn is incredible sensitive to the spiritual energy contained within the bodies of living beings. He is able to sense this energy due to a special sixth sense, the energy materializing as an aura surrounding their bodies. The radius of his ability seems to be a sphere that is roughly one mile from his body. The information causes a sensory overload and because of this he has to consciously suppress it. Usually he limits the area of his ability to about one hundred yards and sometimes shutting it off completely when in highly populated areas. Reyn's skills make him a highly effective tracker. Reyn is able to memorize any aura he's come into contact with, being able to recognize other's by this aura alone. With extreme levels of effort Reyn can focus in on an aura he's encountered and locate it beyond his one mile range. The farther away his quarry is the more concentration it takes. He has been shown to be able to track individuals clear across the United States. Of course, not long after he started bleeding from the nose and passed out.

As a useful side effect Reyn is able to sense himself as well. Because of this awareness he is capable of completely hiding his own energy, rendering him almost invisible to all but the most powerful locators. He can keep his levels suppressed for two hours at a time, needing six hours to let off the extra energy between suppression. Intense burst of energy have been shown to incapacitate either his powers or himself.




Weapon: N/A

Personality: Reyn is an incredibly lazy and laid back individual. He prefers to coast along rather than put any real work into anything. There are a few things that have been shown to motivate him. Food, being one of the most obvious, as well as competition, and the prospect of becoming well known. He can usually be found with a smile on his face and his eyes half closed. He has an odd obsession with gambling.

Backstory: Reyn was born to a pair of special individuals who had gained powers. Growing up Reyn lived a relatively normal life, despite being somewhat of a hooligan. Upon turning eighteen he set out on his own, avoiding college and other responsibilities and becoming a drifter. He works odd jobs and "borrows" with his abilities to make a living. He has recently stumbled upon an odd town that seems to call to him.

You need to note the level the powers are on, energy output itself, and a back story on how the family tree had gotten the powers, from whichever point the powers itself.

What side effects could the energy have on the body itself, what qualifies as "energy", how long he can sustain this abnormal energy in his body.

i agree so not aproved untill the followen is ansered so no fighting till then is that ok ?

[whitewings]

One final question, is the area around him really cold, or really warm? terajoule, mind rephasing this?

Also, how does this energy differ from his own energy? Does his energy just mix with it, and if so, does he even need to eat or drink, is eating a drinking bad for him?

What is the rate of absorption, is it noticeable to the human body? Is it noticeable to an animal's body?

Can he even concentrate on absorbing it?

If possible ranged attack, what is the range? Does this absorb from other life forms? Do plants count a lifeforms to the power? What stops something from being absorbed from?


Do different types of energies do different things? Can he concentrate to change the type of energy he drains? Can he convert the energy in his body? (This is a power with ALOT OF QUESTIONS) (Energy always has to have to much explaining for it's own good....) (It is sad that I have more that I need to ask from past rping exp.....)

What is the "sensing" range, is the sensing ranger 360 degrees? Does it count for living things? If he is left to cook over a fire, after an hour, would it be cold, how is the energy absorbed? Is it as he breaths( through the mouth) does the inward process shut down when he is using the energy for anything other then functions of living(breathing, talking, walking around, eating, ect...)

This is a power I always hound, cause I have never seen anyone RP it fairly, and yes I have seen to many attempts.

And if it wasn't caught, one meant MANY, I am going to look back on my logs to check if there are any more questions, cause I dislike this super power.

Please don't bother editing your post, please just answer the questions in order. That would be to much for anyone who wanted to know your power, but not read a novel.....

This is one on my hated list, along with a few others like emotion control, any full elemental power, anything like avatar, anything that can be rigged to do anything, gravity control, blood control, bone control, anything off a TV show that is exactly like it for the sake of being lazy, and anything else that makes it hard for you to be on a playable level.

Note, these powers are good for TEACHER type characters, who other rpers will never have to compare or contrast themselves against in any attempt other then shear retardation.

I never said that I had finalized my edits. Also, if there is a list of powers that you would prefer people not to have then you should make a list stating so. It would simplify things and make it so situations like this wouldn't occur. If you'd prefer that I choose another power I will come up with a different one. If not I will attempt to answer all of your questions. I don't mean for this to sound disrespectful, just my own opinion of sorts.

[whitewings]

I have made a list, this isn't my forum. and those are questions that have to be answered to for the power to not be used to kill other characters easily.

and it isn't disrespectful. Defending a lack of work never is, trust me I know very well it isn't. Sometimes the length gone is even respectable in itself, and it is amazing in terms of the word.

[whitewings]

You don't have to answer all of them. I think that 1 or 2 of them are just a preference to be answered, but most of them are sadly necessarily needed.

[whitewings]

(In editing the power itself, I would recommend these things...)

First, touching range, meaning at all times he could be draining energy, just out of his feet and threw sunlight....

Second, I would recommend yes concentrating, low rate.

No to converstion

Yes to different types of energy do matter.

Yes they can mix, but most of the time it is never good.

Yes he can eat

Yes his energy for basic human functions is different then the energy this power generates

(I will help out more later.

I think it might be best just for a power change. As for the reasons; miscommunication, too much work for a character I'll use passively, and too much of a headache for both parties. I'd much rather get this resolved so I can use this time for rping, rather than nitpicking over a power I chose on a whim.

[whitewings]

sounds awesome to me.

She shook her head "What does it matter to you what or how he does. As you said this isn't your board and your a new comer say as me and you've been acting like your the right hand man and ''recommending'' a lot of things to people that you think is best or more appropiate to your quilifications. Please leave it alone."

[Spike Darkwater]

the same could be said for you and im sure the cause is so when we rp were all not godly or one with a major advantage and is it your place to qestion him

[Ray]

"I've kept to myself on here and when he keeps at it with my friend i'm going to say something."

[Spike Darkwater]
