This is for anyone wanting to test out their characters in the setting before the game opens, see what clicks. Multiples will be allowed for this post, and you can generally assume any threads are a self-contained continuity unless you feel like getting creative.

Just post a thread with your CHARACTER NAME and CANON NAME in the title with a prompt and others will reply. Prompts and threads can be action spam or prose or whatever. These threads can be used on the sample section of your application, as well. Go out and have fun! Feel free to consult the institute tour and dorm guide for setting info.

[He's rather used to this reaction by now. He often makes people a bit uneasy with his mannerisms, and he's good at acting as if it doesn't bother him.]

Oh, is that what it is? It's very pre~tty, especially with that red hair. [He sounds truly admiring, if also a bit intrusively fascinated.] Is it very hard, controlling it?

[cinnabarred]

[Cessily gives a bashful smile, if she could still blush you can bet she would have.]

It was at first but now it's completely natural.

[comparative_insanity]

[Flirting comes as easily to him as breathing, and he smiles brightly in return, tapping a bright red nail against his lips.]

Mmm, that's how it is with powers, I guess. But maybe it's a bit easier when it's your actual body than just some... weird force floating about. [A light laugh as he waves his hand airily.]

[cinnabarred]

True. [She nods as she bounces the ball a couple times.] So what can you do?

[comparative_insanity]

[He makes a small grimace, almost apologetic.]

Mind stuff. I can... ah, change how people see me? Or don't see me, for that matter.

[It doesn't get any easier to say, he's noticed. Powers like his are definitely among the top powers that made people really, really uncomfortable. "By the way, I can mess with your mind" always sounds so terrible, but it's way better than keep silent about it. No one trusts a mutant who lies about powers like that.]

[cinnabarred]

[Luckily Cessily's inorganic body makes her practically immune to such powers. Not entirely of course, but it's significantly harder for people with such powers to affect her.

She smiles and stops bouncing the ball.]

Oh. That sounds like it'd be pretty useful. [She almost seems more at ease now that she knows what he can do.]

[comparative_insanity]

[He relaxes a bit when he notices how unperturbed she seems. That's a nice change.]

Mm, we~ell, it means I can make teachers forget I'm in the classroom. That's pretty handy, really. [He laughs.] Not nearly as impressive as what some people can do, yourself included, but it's a nice little trick. Or a nasty one, depending, I guess~.

[cinnabarred]

Yeah but making the teacher think you're not even there would be great for when you don't want to answer questions. I can't even attempt to blend in. I'm too shiny. [She gives a small laugh.]

Hmm, yeah. [She pulls one hand back from the ball and reshapes her hand so that her fingers all become sharp blades. She looks at it for a moment before it melts back to normal.]
