Plot outline: Growing Pains [04 Aug 2010|03:25pm] Preface: Izzy is in a group training session in the Danger Room. When the session first starts, she husks into her fire form, and the process is more painful than it has ever been before. She ignores it, and goes about training like she always does. By the time the session is over, and Izzy husks back into her normal form, and is sporting a bloody nose. She goes to the medical wing where she is attended to by either Hank. After a series of tests, Hank is able to theorize that Izzy's powers are possibly going through a developmental stage, which might be why her transformations are being more painful. Izzy continues to have problems with her powers, whether it be them sparking up at random occurences, or painful transformations followed by a nosebleed afterwards. Part 1: The X-Men are called to deal with a disturbance in New York City (possibly by the X-Tremists holding a group of politicians hostage or something). During the fight, Izzy's powers begin to act up, and she finds herself husking at an extremely rapid rate. She tries to control it, but accidentally ends up shorting out a large portion of the city when she husks into her electric form. As the X-ers are finishing up with the X-Tremists (or possible other group), a S.W.A.T team arrives on the scene to help with cleanup. One or two (or none, depending how the fight goes), of the X-Tremists are taken into custody. Izzy connects with the leader of the team (who is secretly running an undercover rogue Black Ops group, unknowingly funded by the government), and agrees to meet with them to do retcon. The leader of said Black Ops group, looks into the bakgrounds of the X-ers, inculding Izzy. Part Two: Izzy meets with the leader of the group to do retcon from the incident with the X-Tremists. Some point during the retcon, Izzy is knocked out and taken to an underground facility, where the group's team of scientists begin to perform experiments on her, mainly to see if they can get her to combine any of her forms. Part Three: The X-ers start to take notice of Izzy's absence, and when she's not back the next day, begin to worry. They try to contact her, only to find her cellphone dead, and she doesn't answer to any comm links. Either through Cerebro (or Rachel using her telepathy), they're able to get a lock on her. They go to the facility where she's being held. The team doesn't run into any of the people running the group, but they do meet a handy arsenal of foot-soldiers. They fight their way through to the labs, where Izzy is being held. With help, Izzy is able to break free and help the X-ers. Just at looks like they're about to win, more soldiers come in, leaving the X-Men easily outnumbered. Izzy, while still weak, wants to help her friends. The fight triggers Izzy's fifth and final- form air (more details on this form to come!). The X-Men are able to defeat the soldiers, but Izzy nearly loses control, as this form is something like she's never experienced before. Scared and panicing, the X-ers (most likely Lucas, and probably Zak and assorted others), will need to talk her back down in her normal form. Aftermath: Izzy has spotty memory for the next couple of weeks, and seems to be unable to remember much about her captors...or the fact the one responisble for her capture was the leader of the SWAT team that helped them with the X-Tremists. When the X-Men go back to the facility where they found Izzy, they'll find it to be completely empty, and unsure of who was exactly behind Izzy's capture. Note: Matt and I are working on the Black Ops group, and they will be available for anyone's needs, of course. As this is a VERY rough draft, feedback is much appreciated! 1 comment|post comment

Prompts! [25 Jun 2010|10:47pm] ( Cut to save f-list death ) post comment

[04 May 2010|01:16am] Player (nickname, handle)/ LJ: Allie Email: On file AIM (if you have one): On file Character Name: Isabelle "Izzy" Lucinda Starsmore Character LJ (if applicable): energizer Physical description (face, build, weight): 5'10, 134 lbs, blond hair, blue eyes, has been told she looks older than her age from time to time. Age: 16 Birthday: August 23rd PB: Avril Lavigne Abilities: Izzy has the mutant power to "husk" her skin into different forms of energy, namely electricity, fire, earth, and water. So basically, she can become a living bolt of lightning, a living flame, a living rock, and a living fountain. She has the potential to eventually husk into other forms of energy, though it is highly uncertain. So far, her four different forms have each been triggered by a different emotional state. The forms: Electric form: The first form that Izzy ever husked into, it is the easiest for her to go into and maintain, and grants her enhanced speed. This form allows her create blasts using electric energy, makes it hard for anyone to touch her without getting shocked in the process. Water, however, shorts out this form. Fire form: Izzy's second form, and the only one that grants her flight. Because of this form, Izzy's body runs on a higher temperature than that of a normal human being's. She is able to manipulate the flames to convert them into blasts of fire. A large amount of water will easily short out her fire form, though. Earth form: While the electric form and fire form are the "offensive level", Izzy's earth and water forms gear towards more defensive levels. Izzy's earth form turns her body into a living rock, making it harder to hurt and harm her in this form, though it is possible. Her earth form also gives her increased strength. While not extremely slow, this form makes Izzy fairly slower than her normal speed. Water form: The most recent of Izzy's forms, and by far the hardest for to husk into and maintain. This form allows her to absorb injuries easily, and also lightens her weight and density, making it easy for her to slip through tight places with ease. Being the hardest form for her maintain, however, she currently can't hold it for more than an hour. Weaknesses and flaws: Different forms require different levels of concentration for her to maintain and husk into. While, it may be harder for her to sustain injury when she's husked, it is still possible injure Izzy. Currently, as it, Izzy can only husk her entire body, and not parts of it. While she can go from form to form, it takes an amount of extreme concentration for Izzy do so, and depending on how fast the change, can be extremely painful. Character location/Home: Xavier's Institute for Higher Learning. Alignment (villain, hero etc): Hero Relatives (living/dead?): Jonothon Starsmore (father, living), Paige Guthrie (mother, living), Thomas Zebulon Guthrie (grandfather, deceased),Lucinda Guthrie (grandmother, living), Samuel Guthrie (uncle, living), Joshua Guthrie (uncle, living), Joella Guthrie (aunt, living), Elisabeth Guthrie (aunt, living), Melody Guthrie (aunt, living), Jebediah Guthrie (uncle, living), Lewis Guthrie (uncle, living), Zachary Cheney-Guthrie (cousin, living), Jack Starsmore (ancestor), Apocalypse (ancestor), Blink (distant cousin) Backstory: Isabelle Starsmore was the only child born to both Jonothon Starsmore and Paige Guthrie. Isabelle's conception was unexpected, and two married (mostly due to the influence of Izzy's grandmother, Lucinda). Izzy grew up in Kentucky, surrounded by her large extended family, including her cousin, Zac. Izzy's powers manifest when she was thirteen, during an argument with her mother.Frustrated, Izzy husked her skin into her electric form...and cut off the power in house in the process. While Izzy knew that with both of her parents being mutants, there was a chance that she'd be one as well, she was still terrified. Paige and Jono, agreeing that Izzy should learn how to control her powers, arranged for her to attend Xavier's Institute for Higher Learning. Since then, Izzy has discovered that she is able to husk into three more forms-each of them having been triggered by some emotion, like her electric form. Her fire form, triggered in training session gone bad, her earth form, triggered when she fell out a second story window, and her water form, also triggered in a training session, this one being slightly more stressful in nature. How do you plan to introduce the character to the game?: She's currently a student at Xavier's. What are you planning to do with this character?: Be an active member of the X-Men. What do you want to see happen with this character?: Assist the X-Men. Also, I'd like to see her power control develop (especially with her water form). While I don't plan on her developing any new forms, I'd maybe like to get to the level where she can start to husk select parts of her body, like a flaming hand, for example. Sample post: Izzy was playing around with her water form. Or not really so much playing around, but working on controlling it. Again. She didn't like that she could only maintain it for an hour. Out of all her forms, it was the one she had the most trouble with...and the one that annoyed her the most. "Ah'm gonna get this right...Ah'm gonna get this right.." She stood in her room, in water form, looking at the clock. Fifty-eight mintues... If she could just manage to hold it for an hour and five minutes, she'd be fine. "Ah can do this...Ah can do it..." Fifty-nine minutes...just one more. An hour on the dot, and she reverted back to normal. Izzy bit her lip to keep herself from screaming. The last time she'd gotten "carried away" when she was practicing her water form, she had gone into her fire form when she got frustrated... and nearly torched down her room. No. She wasn't going to do that. Instead she was going to walk calmly and quietly to the Danger Room...and singe that instead. post comment
