Experimentals (reboot 2)

Okay, let's see if I'm doing this right

Name: Durfey Williams
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Backstory: Before Durfey was taken in, he was a master at playing mystery games, as well as puzzles involving spotting hidden objects. He did this as a pastime, and he went to school hoping to eventually become a detective.
Experimental Change: The experiment was meant to augment his ability to see, giving him the sight and night vision of an owl. Instead, it left him completely blind in both eyes, leaving them completely white. As well, feathers have started growing all over his body, being white on his chest and legs, and speckled brown on his arms and shoulders. The only places it doesn't grow is on his hands, feet, or face.
Appearance: Other than his changes, Durfey is a lean young man with jet black hair, with one pure white strand in the middle. He always wears brownish coloured long sleeved shirts and white pants, no matter the weather, though his getup makes him look a little strange. If you look closely, and you're lucky, you may see a feather sticking out under his shirt or pants, though he goes to great lengths to hide this.
Special Ability: Although he doesn't know it yet, Durfey's blindness left him with the ability to make others blind to him, so that others cannot detect him in any way. The ability is difficult to activate, however, as it requires complete focus, and while the ability doesn't directly tire him, the complete focus it needs does. (as in, making 1 person or 100 people blind to him doesn't matter, it's just the focus) Additionally, the ability has a certain range, and it doesn't fool electronics, although if someone is watching the device (say, a guard), he can temporarily fool the guard if they're in range. Finally, if there is someone in range he is not aware of while he is using it, they are automatically blinded, and the ability can be negated if the target touches him.
I just realized this is really similar to another ability in a certain anime series, but I can assure you I came up with this from scratch, and that I haven't watched that series in recent memory.
Strengths/Weaknesses: Durfey is relatively brave, though he often rushes into danger needlessly, regardless of the consequences. When it comes down to brass tacks, however, he can think his decisions through. He's also fairly competitive with others, and he is quickly angered by others insulting him, though he'll forgive them just once. He has about average strength, but he's also relatively agile.
Edit: He also has enhanced hearing, like that of an owl's, which allows him to get around a bit as long as he can hear something
I've mostly done D&D for RP, so this kind of stuff is new to me. Tell me if I did something wrong, or if I left something out

 

Name: Alexa "Lexy" Levine
Age: 17
Sex: Female
Power: Telekinesis. Able to lift and hold objects up to 50 lbs with concentration.
Appearance: Brown hair, brown eyes wears glasses, doesn't have arms.
Bio: Alexa was 15 when the accident happened. she was with her mother at the grocery store and was reaching into the side door when a car T-Boned their car. The open door was slammed shut on both of her arms and the damage to the vehicle caused large gashes as well as multiple fractures of her arm bones. After being taken to the hospital her arms were unable to be saved and were amputated bilaterally below the elbow.
Two years after the accident Alexa one day found that if she concentrated hard enough, she could just get a pen on her desk to move. In secret she trained this ability until one day she went "Carrie" on some people. After the incident, a team from the Supernatural Research and Development Experiments Laboratory (SRDEL) picked her up and brought her in for study and protection.

Spoiler: Old Character

Name: Shard 8364
Age: appears to be of teenage body type
Experimental Change: Crystal Physiology
Backstory: Discovered in 1893 by scientists at a meteor crater in [Redacted], a previously unknown type of crystal was discovered inside a geode at the site. Upon opening the geode, the crystal inside coalesced into a being that was capable of turning organic matter into crystal. Those transformed by it are capable of movement, speech and thought. With the capture of teh crystal being and its containment, research began into how it affected the change in organic carbon life and its level of sentience. Through decades of work and the help of a countless number of "volunteers," duplicate crystal beings were able to be made.
Special Abilities: Capable of transforming organic life to crystal life. Can morph parts of its body into weapons. To be discovered.
Strengths/Weaknesses: Does not need to breathe, eat or drink. Does not have any vital spots. Can repair damage by absorbing transformed crystal matter. Can interface with some computers./Is susceptible to cracking and shattering. Unless painted or otherwise covered up, is reflective in the sun and other light. If it takes enough structural damage falls unconscious. Must rest for at least one (1) hour a day. While unable to sleep in the traditional sense, enters a state of deep trance. Weak to certain sound, explosions and extreme heat.
Appearance: Appears as an androgynous humanoid of about 5'4" and of slender build. Has a faint green coloration to its body and is translucent with a distinct set of eyes and a mouth. It does have hair that behaves similar to human hair and is shoulder length. Currently has no clothing.

 

OOC (that's the acronym???): I would be in the facility, I believe
The young man awakes in a dark room, and everything is white to his eyes. He sits up, still seeing white. He feels the hardness of the surface below him, and swings his legs, feeling empty air. He felt the rustle of something on his skin, and when he touched it, he felt a harder edge with a softer center. He wondered where he was and what had happened to him, and why everything was white. The last thing he remembered was passing the time by reading a newspaper, absentmindedly solving the Spot the Difference puzzle. Hearing nothing, he decided to explore the area around him, eventually reaching a dip in the wall. A little searching, and he finds what he thinks is a doorknob. He twists the knob, exits the room only to hear two people talking. He freezes, waiting, the voices come closer, they pass by him, and he hears a bit of their conversation
"Oh, that experiment? It failed, they're sending the cleaning crew over to prepare it for the next subject"
An experiment!? This place must be a lab, and by the sounds of it, he might be the next one on the list. The scientists walk away, seemingly oblivious to him, and as he turns to head in the other direction, he hears a click, and he quickly finds the door and hides behind it
OOC: Probably shoulda asked, but can we use NPCs in the way I did, or does the thread owner have total control over NPCs? Any other problems?

 

"Open your eyes," the muffled voice said. "It's time to work."

Lex opened her eyes as the bright overhead lights came on, blinking in the sudden glare. She turned her head to see the armored figure of Tin Man standing in the doorway to her dorm room. With a yawn she sat up and stretched then stood up to begin the process of getting dressed for the day. With minor assistance from Tin Man, Lex was able to get into a clean pair of sweat clothes, put on her glasses and fix her hair.

Once that was finished Tin Man gave her the morning "breakfast," a power smoothie that she ate like ice cream instead of drinking it. with everything ready she set off with Tin Man for the morning's tests.

They made an odd pair as they walked, taking up the hallway. The large one sealed in a suit of armor vaguely reminiscent of 20th century diving suits; the other dancing around as she walked swinging around the empty sleeves of her sweatshirt.

"You're energetic this morning," Tin Man pointed out.
"Mom, Dad and Sam are coming to visit today," Lex said happily. "I haven't seen them since I got here." Her voice took on a harsher tone with those last words.
"That should be fun. But first you have work to do."
"Right, right. As always."

Upon reaching the proper test chamber Tin Man put one hand on a panel and the door chimed before sliding open with a hiss. With a smile to their companion, Lex made her way inside the room. The door slid shut behind them and a voice came over the room's speakers.

"Good morning, Alexa. Are you ready for today's exercises?" asked the head scientist.
"You betcha." She replied with a small amount of sarcasm in her voice.
"So just like always, I want you pick up or move each object we have here. starting with the lighter and smaller items first, then moving to the heavier ones. Understand?"
"Yes."
"Good, we're ready when you are."

Lex walked to the table set in the middle of the room. On it were a collection of normal household items: pens, books, plates and bowls, a few weights. next to the table were the heavier objects, a large kettle ball weight, a small chair, a recliner, a desk and finally a queen size mattress. She spent the next two hours picking up the objects on the table and moving them around as instructed.

As Lex moved from the small objects to the bigger ones, she struggled to pick them up and hold them in the air for more than a few seconds. With the recliner and mattress she was only able to slide them around on the floor. After what seemed like forever and a building headache coming on, the scientist finally told her to stop.

"That's enough for one day, Alexa. Thank you for your help." She turned to the window separating her from the scientists monitoring her. "Now because your family is visiting you today, we won't be having our other sessions this afternoon."
"I'm not sure how I'll go on living." Lex said with a roll of her eyes. The scientist let out a good natured chuckle before continuing.
"So you know, we'll be monitoring your visit with your parents. You know what you can and cannot discuss, correct?" She gestured that she did indeed know. "And I don't have to tell you the consequences if you use your powers?" A nod from her and he continued. "Good. Your behavior with us has improved a lot these past months. I do hope we continue to see your cheerfulness in the future. That's all."

The door hissed open and Tin Man stood in the hallway. Lex quickly made her way out of the room, the implied threat behind the scientist's words cutting through her good mood for the morning.

"How'd it go?" Tin Man asked, holding out a glass of water and some pain pills.
"Same as always. I could really use a real breakfast now." Lex said after she had taken the medication.

The two of them started making their way to the cafeteria, passing other people with powers like her own and dozens of scientists and security personnel.

( hello! this is my first time being in the roleplay forums and I read all the rules so hopefully I did ok filling out my character and his backstory! I cant wait to join in on the roleplay I look forward to exploring this new world with all of you )

 

Nasterus would lay on the cold metal table his back feeling cold from it. His eyes would open causing him to be startled as he saw a man leaning over him with a toothless grin. He'd try to break free from the table but it was useless he could not move and the man moved away writing down some notes. " w-who.....the......hell.....a-are....you.....and.....where.....am....I..." muttered nasterus struggling more.
" Hmm....the patient has awoken after two years....very good...very good...." said the man writing down his words on a clipboard. Nasterus would growl at the man starting to get annoyed. " WHERE THE HELL AM I YOU BASTARD! " yelled nasterus lifting up his right arm which was no longer a regular arm it was now a polar bears arm. he'd stare at the arm realizing it was not what it used to be and he would slam it on the table. " WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE TO ME YOU CRAZY NUTJOB! " said nasterus shaking and shivering with anger. he'd try to remove the restraints but they wouldn't budge and the man would smirk watching him struggle.
" calm down young man....calm down....everything is gonna be ok....Im doctor Norwell! and ill be taking good care of you..." said the doctor still smiling at nasterus who was still trying to free himself. " WHY THE HELL AM I TIED IF EVERYTHINGS GONNA BE OK!? HUH!? YOU THINK THIS IS SOME JOKE YOU OLD BADGER! UNTIE ME RIGHT NOW " demanded nasterus lifting up his right arm only to put it back down realizing it was no longer a human arm. " you wont be getting free until we run some tests on you....now if you haven't noticed already....we preformed an experiment on you turning you into the perfect hybrid of a polar bear and human! " said the doctor grinning and he would hold up a mirror showing nasterus his face.
Nasterus would gasp in horror as he saw a pair of furry polar bear ears on his head and his hair was no longer black it was now white....his teeth were now sharp like steel and his nose was black and big like a polar bears. " we also removed your right arm and your left leg and replaced them with some fine polar bear body parts....right now you can move your arm it seems....however im afraid your sense of smell and your leg are not in working condition yet...." said the doctor sighing as he'd make more notes into his clipboard and nasterus would growl again.
" your a sick piece of shit....you have no right....NO RIGHT TO DO THIS TO ME! MY FAMILY WILL TEAR YOU TO SHREDS WHEN THEY FIND OUT WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO ME YOU ARROGANT BASTARD " screamed nasterus lifting up his arms trying to break the restraints but they would still not budge. The doctor stood next to nasterus picking up a needle from the tray and nasterus would shiver at the sight of it. " Don't you freaking dare.....ILL MAKE YOU REGRET IT IF YOU PUT THAT DEATH STICK INSIDE ME YOU OLD BADGER " yelled nasterus struggling even more and the doctor sighed moving closer to nasterus and putting his hands on his right arm. " relax.....relax.....everything will be all better my precious experiment...." said the doctor in a soothing tone and he'd lift up the needle getting ready to insert it but nasterus had other plans he lifted his right arm up grabbing the doctors arm with his paw.
" I DONT...WANT SOME STRANGER.....POKING ME WITH STICKS! " screamed nasterus as he squeezed the doctors arm and he would start yanking it causing the arm to rip out of it sockets making blood fly everywhere. The doctor screamed trying to call for help but it was useless the room was soundproof and no one could hear his screams. While nasterus ripped off the arm he felt a sensation of enjoyment and he would proceed to grab the doctors other arm with his paw and he would proceed to tear it off causing more blood to flow. Soon the doctor would fall to the floor his blood spilling everywhere and nasterus would just lay on the table laughing as another doctor came into the room staring in horror at the mess that was created.

 

The click was right by his right ear, it seemed that the door he just opened did something, the clicking continues erratically for a while, then stops. Perhaps someone tried to do something with the door, but it had malfunctioned. Suddenly, he hears a siren, and a voice on an intercom about code red. To his left, he hears the marching of boots, and orders called out. Guards, probably, best to avoid them, he thought. To his right, he heard a sudden scream, then silence. "Not much better on the right, but whatever is on the right is probably better than guards. He starts going to the right, slowly and carefully, and feels the end of a wall. Taking a few seconds to find the doorknob, he suddenly stopped as he saw the image of a piece of paper flash into his mind. Tucking the memory away for later, Durfey finally found the doorknob, and heard some fading footsteps to his left. Following them, quietly focused on the task of walking, he suddenly slips in something and crashes to the ground.

 

OOC: Whoops, posted my part early. At any rate, I forgot a set of quotation marks, so just imagine that at the end of that sentence. Also, Durfey slipped on some blood in right in front of your door, @iknoweverything, and was unconsciously using his ability up until he slipped.

 

OOC: So I changed my character. I went back and edited my previous posts to reflect the new character. Also Ella, so basically the chips in the experiments implanted the memory your character uploaded into the computer in their memories before the chips short circuit?

Lex was just getting the threat from the scientist out of her mind when the alarm began to sound. The unexpected noise made her stumble and she would have fallen if she hadn't been able to catch herself on the wall. Next to her Tin Man scanned the area around the two of them before getting on the radio to figure out what was happening.

"One of the experiments attacked the staff and might be loose. I'll take you to the safe room nearby then go deal with this." Tin Man explained quickly, taking Lex by the shoulder and marching her back the way they had come.

The safe room was the size of an elevator and was sealed against dangerous airborne toxins and had an emergency phone in it. The door closed behind Lex with a loud thud as the room locked itself. Over the blaring alarm she heard the sound of Tin Man's boots movign away from the door.

Another wave of alarms went off, this time they were just a percent shriller than the previous alarm. the combined noise set the headache from earlier pounding away in Lex's head. She screamed in pain and frustration as the speakers announced that there was an intruder in the building.

Suddenly the alarms cut out and a woman's voice said, “All experiments, you are free to go.“ The silence that was now left was as deafening as the noise from the alarms going off.

"What's going on!" Lex shouted to fill the quiet of the small room, her head pounding. She jumped as the door lock grumbled open, her mind at first thinking the floor was going to collapse until she realized it was the door. It unlocked and slid open a foot before stopping. A space that was just too small for Lex to squeeze through.

Using her power was difficult through the headache but she was able to get the door moving just enough that she could force it open wide enough with her body. Shimmying through the opening she emerged into the hallway and a scene of chaos. Off to her right she saw a group of armed and armored guards trying to pacify a group of her fellow experiments.

"AAAggghhh-hot hot hot hot!" She shrieked in pain as a small spot on her upper back began burning with an electric tingle. Then just as the pain began it dulled to a sore itching just under her skin.

A place popped into her mind, it was a small cozy farmhouse in the middle of empty fields. it was a weird thing to think of at a time like this, but Lex knew it was important. She also knew without a doubt in her mind that she needed to get to that house and if she did everything would be okay. Taking off at a run she bounded down the halls doing her best to avoid fighting. As she rounded a corner she saw a young woman with long hair facing off against some guards.

An impossibly strong gust of wind rushed through the hallway knocking the guards aside like bowling pins. The wind buffeted Lex and threw her back against the wall, hitting her head and sliding down into a sitting position with a groan. Looking up she saw the young woman striding off and quickly got back to her feet and followed after whoever the mystery lady was.

@Miss Elegent Serenity I'm following your character.

 

Nasterus was laying at the table, the blood still trickling down his paw. Without even thinking he lifted up his bloody paw and started licking the blood off it as a bunch of doctors and nurses stood in front of him. One of the Doctors decided to put him to sleep so they walked over to Nasterus only to get swiped in the chest by his paw. Injured the Doctor backed up and ran to the others causing some of them to scream at the wound on his chest. " SOMEBODY SHOOT THIS THING! " screamed one of the doctors and a guard came in with a gun ready to put down Nasterus. But before the guard shot nasterus another alarm suddenly came on causing everyone to panic and leave the room, they sealed the door shut and left Nasterus alone on the table. Suddenly a voice came on the speakers saying " all experiments you are free to go". Nasterus became confused and even more confused when a young female came into the room and apologized to him for what the doctors did. This made Nasterus so confused and he then saw her write down a location on a piece of paper and watched her leave the room.


He smirked pulling the restraints off himself and he got up picking up the paper and reading It. " well then...looks like its time to leave this hellhole..." said Nasterus and he got up starting to stumble he forgot that he wasn't used to his new polar bear leg. He sat on the table for a couple minutes moving around his leg to stretch it out and then when he felt confident he could do it he got up and walked toward the door opening it. Outside his door he saw a young boy laying on the floor knocked out. Nasterus thought of eating the boy but fought his urges and woke him up. " Hey boy....if you wanna get out of here take this paper and follow the directions...I already memorized it so I don't need it and also...becareful next time this place is filled with blood..." said Nasterus licking his lips and he ran down the hallway. He stopped when he saw a couple guards in front of him holding guns and Nasterus charged at them slicing off one of the guards arms with his paw and choking another guard with his hand. The other two guards tried firing at him but he used the guards in hands as shields confirming they're deaths. Once they were dead he threw them on the ground and jumped at the other two slashing their throats causing their eyes to buldge out and causing them to fall to the ground dead. He then ran down the hallway and stopped when he saw a room filled with caged animals and frightened doctors. He stepped inside and stared at the frightened animals in the cages and this made Nasterus mad, he wasn't sure why because never in his life did he care about animals before but now he suddenly did. " WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO THEM!? " screamed Nasterus grabbing a doctor by the throat with his paw and crushing his neck. The nurses and doctors began to scream in terror as Nasterus walked towards them and moments later they were all dead, slashed and cut by his paw. He began to drink their blood and once he finished drinking the delicious blood he walked towards the control panel pressing a button that released all the caged animals.


" Your free...to go my brethren! " said Nasterus and the animals began charging out of the room starting a rampage and none were left except for a small hippo. " whats wrong? why aren't you following the others? " asked Nasterus and the hippo just stared at him. " Look...if you don't leave this place you'll be experimented on like I was! " said Nasterus and the hippo just yawned. Giving up, Nasterus went outside to leave the hippo, however the hippo followed him out of the room. " Oh great...its following me now...why the hell did I release these creatures..." said Nasterus and he shrugged walking down the hallway once again to find more guards standing before him and one of them held an rpg. " Well shit....this isn't gonna end well..." said Nasterus and he jumped at the man with the rpg slashing his throat before he could fire it and he grabbed the rpg running away from the guards and once he was far enough he pulled the trigger firing it at the guards causing their guts and organs to fly everywhere across the room. Nasterus laughed and threw the rpg on the floor, running down the hallway until he stopped at an exit and he smiled opening the door to reveal a empty parking lot and nothing was in it but a few cars. So Nasterus walked over to a green pickup truck and he ripped the passengers sidedoor. But before he got in he opened the back and helped the hippo climb onto it causing the pickup truck to lean a tiny bit. Then he climbed inside the truck and began to hotwire the car and sat in it thinking of where to go next.



@Larryman555 I gave your character the directions
@Miss Elegent Serenity also was I supposed to go to the black car? if so ill change it however idk how we would get the hippo in there lolz

 

"Dang it, what did I fall in" said Durfey as he started to get up. He heard some strange footsteps leaving him, which made a strange sound, which sounded like a normal footstep, then a large thudding footstep. Feeling the piece of paper, Durfey put it in his pocket, perhaps he could find someone that could read it later. The footsteps suddenly started sounding faster, and he heard the report of a machine gun, along with the screams of pain that accompanied them soon after. He decided to start walking forward, now careful to not slip in anything. He started running his hand along the wall, and felt some more slippery areas on the floor, but managed to stay upright. After a while, he felt the wind on his skin, though it felt like whatever he was covered with was ruffling along with it. Following the wind, Durfey went left, right, forward, so many directions he couldn't remember where he'd been. Finally, instead of the cold floors, he felt warm concrete beneath his feet. He stretched a bit, then considered where to go. He didn't know what happened or where he was, but at least he had escaped whatever facility he was in to the outside world, or, at the very least, outside. He could be in a bird cage for all he knows. "Now, assuming this is outside, let's find someone to read me this paper, seeing as I can't read it. Heh, seeing. Looks like I'll be able to make all the puns now." Feeling confident, Durfey stepped out into this new area.
OOC: Found the edit button, did not think of that when I posted. Also, I am out on the parking lot, although I suppose time passed, so it's up to you guys whether you stayed for a bit or immediately left. Also, inferring from Iknow's post, I assume we can retcon our posts if something's up.

 

OOC: Yeah if you want to change something necessary or if you thought, "X character was on the roof," when really they were underground the whole time. Not the best example but I hope it helps some.

Lex saw the woman from before, the one who could make the black holes, climb into a black car. Standing alone near the entrance of the facility, she watched as dozens of patients and staff ran out in fear and confusion. The occasional experiment recognizing a face and exacting their, "Justice," upon those who hurt them. Others simply ran off into the countryside.

Lex stood watching this for a while, her brain trying to catch up to what she was witnessing and had witnessed already. A large polar bear with a hippopotamus following behind it walked past her carrying an rpg. It let the hippo climb into the back of a pickup before getting in and driving off. People who hadn't run off screaming into the woods were milling about in a daze, uncertain of what to do.

The woman in the black car waved at her to get her attention then motioned for Lex to come to the car. With her brain telling her nothing else to do for the moment, she walked to the car stepping around the hurt, bleeding and dead people that littered the parking lot. She passed a young man wandering around with a paper clasped in one hand.

Getting inside the car she took a seat in the back and sat down. Looking up at the other people in the vehicle she gave what she hoped was a smile and a shy, "Hello."

 

Hearing footsteps all around him, Durfey realizes that he's in a bit of a chaotic scene, and pockets the paper. He listens some more, and hears screams of pain, the starting of vehicles, and, strangely enough, a small voice saying "Hello." Stepping out towards the sound, the floor beneath him covered in splotches of blood, he calls out, saying "Hello? Can you help me? I can't see at the moment and so I need some help getting out of here. I can't read the instructions on the paper, and It's hard to go places when you're blind"
OOC: @The_Lullabye That was you I was talking about, he misinterpreted you greeting the people in the van as you greeting him. Also, he has superhuman hearing, forgot to mention that in my character post, it's there now though
