To go along with my Rp concept thread in the story subforum, I'm going to have a character one for the Rp's that I'm making. First up is Stephen, from my Rp "Paradox". Go ahead and poke holes in his existance. Username: Articx-Frost Character Name: Stephan Turner Age: 18 Gender: Male Apperance:Stephen can usually be seen in his long sleeved top with his body warmer over the top. Heavy cargo trousers with several pockets and dirty grey/blue trainers complete his usual clothes. He stands at about 5 foot 10 and weighs roughly 11 stones. Average for his age. Personality: Stephan is your not so typical slacker. He could be concidered a genius, if only he would get something done. He has a dry wit, a dirty mind and a foul mouth, so don't take anything he says too seriously. He likes to do as little as posible at any one time, leaving his mind to run over things he conciders more important, like whether he should see that new film or not. History: Born at roughly twenty five past eight in the morning, Stephan has celebrated each of his birthdays at this time, right up until his parents divorced on his tenth birthday. From then on, birthdays were not something to be celebrated. Round about here he also stopped giving a s**t about school. Coasting through the next eight years, Stephan hasn't made much in the way of friends, at least not ones that he can talk to at school. The majority of his friends are virtual, and scattered around the globe. Having stent the past few years ignoring his birthday, he has forgot that his is today. Power: Electricity Other: For the past few days, he's been hearing someone calling his name, even when there has been no one around.

Powers? What kind of setting is Paradox, and why does Stephan have powers?

Ahaaa.... Hmmm....
Well, there's nothing really wrong with him, he just seems a bit on the bland side - you know, the slacker genius being fairly common. That's not bad, though. I like his backstory, with his parents divorcing on his birthday. That was a real douche thing for them to do. Does he like either of his parents?

He thinks his father is a complete d**k. He wouldn't hesitate to tell him so, but he hasn't been seen for a few years. Stephen would probably break his nose before shouting at him and storming away. His mother on the other hand has been supportive and kind. He can't really feel any anger towards her seeing as he blames his father. The both live in a two bedroom flat.

Really? He doesn't hate both of them? I'd be pissed at BOTH my parents if they decided to divorce on my birthday - wait, was that when they announced to Stephan that they were divorcing, or did that just happen to be the day that the court finalized it?
I don't want to be uber nit-picky, it's just that a divorce is an agreement, which I would think means both mother and father are at fault, and so I would think Stephan would be mad at both of them.
Unless, I could see, if the father just walked out on his birthday, or was very abusive beforehand.

Hmmm.....The mother (Alice) had been hiding/sugar coating it so that Stephan could get used to the fact that they weren't living together any more. The father (James), being the ignorant t**t that he is, announces to Alice in full view of Stephan that the divorce has been finalised and leaves Alice to explain to him what's happening. As soon as everything has been signed, James buggers off to the other side of the country.
I think that would cause the one sided parent hate.

What's the reason for his parents' divorce? Did James find another woman or was he just never happy with his family? Or did he leave because the wife wasn't making him sandwiches and getting him beer?
if sexist jokes offend you please tell me, otherwise i wont stop because i'm a pretty open-minded person

AHA! nice razz and no, I'm not offended by anything ever tbh XD
On a different note, I quite like the character. What I could see though that might add to him is; being the slacker and not really up to doing anything, and being as smart as he is with the dry wit, another character trait that could be added to match those could be a hefty bit of sarcasm. I take it being the genious but not doing anything much with it, when he sees others trying something that he knows how to do but what they're doing wont work, he'll jut let them fail anyway? A bit of sarcasm to say could just add to it.

The fathers divorce and disappearence is tied into a plot point for later in the Rp. I'm not going to say any more about it, but I do have it planned out.

Decided to put up one of my longest running characters. Personality was freeform for this Rp. +Username: Articx-Frost +Name: Kay Georgiy +Age: Looks about 15. Is 736 +Race: Immortal +Powers: Short range teleportation and intangibility. +Weaknesses: Electricity, fear of blood. +Bio: Life for an immortal can either drift in the winds or drag across rough stones. Kay is one of the unlucky ones that gets dragged across the stones of life. Looking about fifteen causes all kinds of problems such as police picking you up for truancy, shops turning you down for jobs and a variety of other things. Eventually Kay turned to crime in order to keep money in her pocket and food in he stomach. After so many decades of crime, she has seen all manor of disturbing scenes. Although she works in the circles of crime, she tends to stick to the less violent side of them. Extortion, robbery, deliveries and such. After one of her more frantic deliveries she was captured taking a shortcut down one of the alleyways near the safehouse. +Appearence: Kay

I'm kind of curious how her life began. More about her parents, how she was raised/if she was raised or lived on her own...

Born sometime in the 17th century, Kay was abandoned to one of the orphanages that had started to spring up rather than left to die on the streets. It was the only mercy given to her in her early life. As the orphanage was cruel, Kay matured quickly and at the age of 15, developed her powers to escape one of her beatings. having had enough, she ran away from the orphanage and took to stealing to survive. when she was about 47 and still looking 15, Kay managed to track down her parents, or at least their graves. Shortly after this, she managed to worm her way into a small time gang, and helped them work their way into bigger things. When they began to get suspicious about her looks, she disappeared, much like she had done at the orphanage. Travelling from gang to gang and progressing through many different countries and continents, she eventually found herself working for the mafia in New York. AS most members had secrets, they didn't press about why she didn't age, allowing her that privicy in exchange for her powers.

Latest character. Tell me how realistic he is. General Username: Articx-Frost Name: Ewan Sheilds Age: 17 Gender: Male Appearance: Ewan looks big, standing at just under 6 foot and weighing nearly 13 stone. He has shoulder length hair, dark brown in colour and a beard that makes people twice his age jealous. Clothing: Ewan can usually be found in worn and faded blue jeans, a t-shirt from his random collection and both a black hoodie and an old combat jacket with large pockets. For shoes, he wears either a pair of well used trainers or equally well used hiking boots, depending on what he's doing. HistoryPersonality and Background: Ewan has a lazy attitude to life. Given the choice he would be at home in front of the computer rather than be at school. He does the bare minimum to pass and scrapes through school as it is. At home he spends much of his time on the computer playing games or watching videos, mostly with his mother yelling at him to go outside and get some fresh air and sunlight. Any time he does, it usually ends up with him going to a friends house to play games there instead. His only joy that actually takes place outside are walks in the surrounding areas or at the park.
