Communication is Key!

How's it going, everyone? New guy on the block that is looking for people to post with, so who all is interested in this guy in the photo above. Not one to cause people to just take him at face value, here is some background information on where he currently is and what his personality is like.

As of right now, his abilities have not manifested, and there is no one that he is particularly aligned with or knows of unless someone wants to make up some type of relationship between Richard and one of their character in order to skip over a meet and greet thing. He is also a cab driver with aspirations of being a professional boxer, and his location is New York. When his ability manifest, he will essentially become a translator of languages.

Richard is a rather trusting and open fellow who likes to be heard. He is over protective of anyone that he comes into contact with, and his own actions are rather rash. Not the brightest bulb in the bunch, he is sure persistent when it comes to achieving his goals.

Possible Thread Ideas with possible requirements:

• Manifestation: An event of some kind that will trigger his ability. Definitely need a stressful situation and foreign language being spoken (20 word min of said language).
  
• Networking: Everyone needs to have a circle of friends that they can call on or who can call on them if need be. Richard just needs to have a few people that he get on the good side of or just meet in his cab, and in some weird way make a connection with.
  
• Translator: Once his powers manifests, I openly submit him for anyone to use as a translator/decoder for anyone's plot related or not-so related needs. He wouldn't necessarily be recruited by anyone, but there are ways to make a man do just about anything.
  

If you can't tell, I kind of started rambling, but don't let that deter you. I am pretty much up for any idea.

WELCOME!

So, i like the sound of Richard, so i'm going to throw some of my characters at you for you to choose from and see which you prefer the idea of. I do have a lot of characters if i'm honest lol but a handful I currently havent got much going on with thread wise.

alexis kramer
charlie baker
sidney kazmiruk
lillian fox


If you want to know any of my other characters, pm me and i'd be happy to link you, these are just a few i havent started a recent thread with.

Hey Grace! Thanks for the welcome and the response.

I've read through each of the four characters that you listed, and I have to say that I'm tied between Charlie and Alexis. Each of them sounds like they would get along well with Richard and probably be a good influence on him.

Is there one of them that you would rather play more than the other right now?

[Alexis Kramer]

Either works for me. Im thinking more Charlie for a manifestation thread. He's the hero type, he does a lot of vigilante stuff and an idea of a thread for the two sprung to mind. With Richards ability, we could potentially have a situation that involves someone foreign and in a panic, perhaps someone with an out of control ability or someone who is just seemingly out to cause trouble. Alexis on the other hand is a negator so she would block his ability, but i think a general meet between the two could be good. We can do both of these if you like, now the Christmas rush is over im alot more reliable

[Deleted]

Charlie it is then. Where specifically should this thread take place, and do you want to start it or should I?

[Charlie Baker]

Im gonna see if you want to start, purely so you can set the scene and i know its something youre 100% happy with, if thats okay?

Just going to bump this thread to say that I am back if any will have me. I didn't really do much with Richard aside from the Halloween thread, so pretty much anything is open.

[Ryan D'Alteau]

Well, thanks to that Halloween thread, Richard's at least met Layton. Although he's not in NYC (he's based in LA), he might be able to help manifest his ability. Layton's own ability is, well... weird as shit:

[*]One part ability detector. He gets abstract images in his head whenever he's around people with powers, so a "dark, depthless void with dripping blood" for Adele and, if he's unprepared for an encounter with Khalidah, the sheer magnitude of her power is just a formless barrage of... something that can knock him off-balance.
[*]One part ability negator. He's managed to knock out someone's ability when they broke into his house.
[*]One part ability "photocopier" (though he's not really figured this part out yet). He can lift temporary copies of someone's power and pass them on to another person, giving them the power for a short time. Think along the same lines as the luck/sexual magnetism viruses from Red Dwarf.

And he's half-Finnish too. So he could fulfill the "speaking other languages" part of the bargain.

[Deleted]

I can easily come up with a reason for Richard to be in LA. Perhaps he is in the area for a tournament or something, and they cross paths one day. Not sure on where exactly or what will happen, but I am curious as to what abstract images will occur when Richard's power awakens.

[Layton Ranta]

Currently, Layton's on the books of an LA-based promotional staff company/agency. So he could quite easily have taken a job somewhere, perhaps where this tournament is. As for what image the ability would conjure up in his head? It depends how I end up writing it. Could be a flood of unintelligible words acting as mild static (lots of different languages to represent the omniglot Richard's ability would allow him to be) or something. Who knows?

[Deleted]

Sounds like a plan. I can start the thread unless you would rather set the scene.

[Layton Ranta]

Seeing as you had the tournament idea, might be best if you started it off. That way, I can think of a way to stuff Layton into it in some capacity.

Here it is

[Micah Walker]

Hey there! I'm back and trying to get back in the game. I have Mike here, whose mainly in New York but he can always end up somewhere else. He used to be a Watcher and now is just trying to figure out how he can keep helping people. His mother got married and moved to Vegas with her new husband, so he visits there sometimes to see her. Maybe that's how they could meet?

[Deleted]

Greetings there. No need to really travel anywhere as Richard technically lives in New York, so they can meet there after he arrives back in town from this tournament. Unless you really want to meet in Vegas which is totally doable.

[Micah Walker]

Oh, that works perfect then! Yeah, New York works then. Any ideas on a thread idea or did you want to wing it maybe? I'm down for anything! Just excited to get back out there after being gone so long.

[Deleted]

Well, Richard is a cab driver so that could be how they meet, and they somehow come across a crime in progress and Micah convinces Richard to get involved or something?

[Micah Walker]

If anything, Micah would probably try and convince him NOT to get involved. The safety of others is very high on this hero's list. He'll probably be like "stay here" and then phase out of the car and run off into danger. And maybe Richard tries to help regardless? Not sure if he would or not, but Micah's been at this game for a long time and thinks he can handle himself. Whether he can or can't. He's just kinda selfless like that.

[Deleted]

Yeah, Richard would definitely follow after him if Micah ran towards trouble. He isn't one to shy away from danger either regardless of whether or not it is way above his pay grade. So who's starting?

[Micah Walker]

Sounds good to me! Well, since Micah is the one in need of the cab, I'll start! :3

[Lucius Kilvayne]

Perhaps the President would offer him a job as an interpreter. I am Laz, btw, I play the current POTUS in Eclipse!America, that sexy devil name Lucius Kilvayne.

[Deleted]

Ooh, that could prove very interesting and perplexing for Richard. At the very least, it has brought the most entertaining conversation to my mind.

Also, nice to meet you Laz.

[Micah Walker]

Here's the thread for Micah/Richard, hope it's okay!!
