Name: Mabs
New or Old: I've just joined - but one of my old friends from another site is a mod here; Robyn
Experience: Seven Years online, three offline - when i was a child, but i've been making Pokemon characters for that long I'm advanced level, but i do have my off days where a post may not be quite up to standard - but it won't be two in a row i promise!
Why you: Even from being little when i would play Pokemon with my friends - making up our own characters and such - i always wished to be the bad guy, the one who tried to dominate everyone with a master plan. I honestly find it so much more fun to play the bad guy, because it makes you exercise your brain to be realistic but at the same time menacing enough to be an actual threat.
I am also fully capable of having a wide goal, even on such a site as this. I could fully spin and get into character of a mastermind bent on gaining power, with a lot of small strikes to disuade/gain more power. I believe I would be a threat worthy of having the entire sites attention as someone who they wish to see gone, and not simply someone who sits in the background not really having any effect on the other members!
RP Sample:
The snow parted as something silently ghosted through it with grace unmatched by anything human, each movement placed with pinpoint precision so as to make little sound as possible. Though it was still a fair distance away from the target, there was no sense in being careful. If the Lictor could rationalise this, those would have been its thoughts. But instead, all of this was instinctual, like how a child knows how to breathe immediately. It did not need any training, for the Hive Mind had crafted its form perfectly for the roll required.
However, despite being the perfect form, it was not without flaws. Its design at base had not been changed but to combat the extreme cold and snow it had been outfitted with a thick layer of fat to keep it insulated. However, it needed to feed often to replenish this and naturally keep it as active in this harsh environment. It was not a great challenge, for the Hive Mind had faced worlds such as this a thousand times before – it was a simple matter of passing the required genetic information to the Norn Queen of Hive Fleet Gemini.
The Lictor had landed on the planet a few weeks ago under the guise of a meteor shower, and was left much to its own devices on how to complete the mission – to transmit the outlay of the planet and the prey’s defences. Not a particularly hard task at a basic level, yet it did present a set of challenges. Gaining entry and staying undetected where but two, but the Tyranid could not doubt itself – quite literally, it had no concept of doubt. The native fauna had not proved much of a challenge and provided a source of nourishment. So far, of the target prey it had only seen two armoured vehicles but did not engage them, simply studying and relaying back to the Hive Mind.
Though it was tough to filter information from the brains of certain fauna, the Lictor had managed to disconcert the location of the target, from a distance. It now crouched in a patch of trees opposite a sheer rock face that extended far above where the Lictor now stood. It naturally sought high ground as a vantage point and it knew the target was also far above its own elevation.
Stalking from where it was crouched the large creature crossed the clearing in a few short moments and extended the barbs in its chest. The hooks dug into the rock face of the cliff and slowly, it began to haul itself up the side, using its large claws for support.
