    The gunner's actions completely bewilder me. I mean wasn't he just SLAMMED IN THE FACE; why would the gunner just up and leave even if he made some sort of deal with that guy? Still the gunner was right, that guy needed some serious care if even the gunner was recommending it.

    "Hey, you alright?" I ask as I approach him, slightly warily due to what happened before. When I get close enough to see him I start talking again, "What could be so bad that the gunner, who would and could kill anything in his way, would recommend I-" I freeze mid-sentence when I see his wound. "Hot damn! That's some wound you got, here" I tear off some of my pullover and hold it out to him, "take this. It'll help until I can get you to a real doctor."

    I feel like I'm forgetting something... Oh yeah! "Here take this apple, it'll help a little."

    "Hmm, I wonder if the sphere could be useful down the line?" I ask myself just before I hearing a sound similar to the gunshot at the market. Knowing that my time to decide is limited I decide to smash the sphere so it couldn't be a potential threat at a later time. "Besides now I have the reassurance he won't reform and also I have the sphere. Albeit in several shards but I still have it," I reassure myself as I pick up the hot orb fragments and place them in my pants pockets.

    After destroying and pocketing the orb I try to find the hole in the wall from earlier but for whatever reason I can't find it. "Where the hell is it?" I grumble when even after I create a small flame for lighting purposes I still can't locate the hole.

    (I was wondering do I have [item: Food]? I think Pi posted something about me taking [Food] from the cart so would that mean I have some?)

    I have half a mind to correct the Strange Being that we probably weren't friends seeing as the creature would soon cease to exist. I can feel my power has returned; It also appears that my assumption of physical damage meaning little to nothing against the Strange Being was correct. My lance might as well be useless here, so I switch my lance to my burning hand so I can cast Singe against the Strange Being. It's probably something akin to my last chance so I give it everything I've got.

    "Just a little more time," I mumble to myself. (Can we guard? If so...) I take a defensive stance; after all I just need to stall and I can already feel the warmth of my power returning. (If I can't guard I'll just do as I have on previous turns.)

    Seeing as my power has yet to return I can only hope that repeated attacks to the core will at least delay the Strange Being. Seeing as the previous attack yielded a complement from the creature I attack the core again.

    "Playing dirty eh?" I say as a pick myself up, "I've dealt with worse before." I quickly glance over the figure and come to the conclusion that the sphere must be an important part of it. Besides seeing how it's more or less ooze it can probably repair its "body". Deciding my best bet was to strike to sphere I thrust my lance at the sphere in the Strange Being.

    (Dude, my character's 19, not a boy. Also he's an electromancer, which, last time I checked, did not include shapeshifting.)

    I turn and face the man with the revolver. He's not aiming it at me, so I decide to take a calmer approach than fighting. I pull the ring from my pocket and play with it in my right hand. The way I hold my sword in my left hand blocks my silver and sapphire ring from his view.

    "What meaning does this ring have for you?" I ask him about the platinum and emerald ring.

    Not to break the RP chain, but Haion doesn't know either of the things you mentioned. The shapeshifting bit was because Haion doesn't know what Zachery can do. So far all Haion knows about Zachery is his general appearance, that he has the ring from earlier, that he's in danger and since the man that was shot called Zachery "boy" he assumes as such.

    "Is anyone... there?" I shout with heavy breath and for the first time since gaining my powers I see my breath. "Is it always this cold?" I wonder to myself. There's no answer to my voiced question so I move further in before I shout again "Is anyone there?" This continues on for several minutes before out of the corner of my eye I see a figure curled into a ball in a corner. Next to the corner there's a relatively big hole but I ignore it; the figure is probably the boy. "Hey there," I say as I approach the figure, "my name's Haion. I won't hurt you but I have to know if you're alright."

    There's still no response from the figure so I decided to get closer. As I draw nearer the shape of the figure starts to come into better view and I realize that either the boy can shapeshift or it's something else entirely. "Would you at least answer me?" I grumble as a reach for the figure. When I touch the figure it's clothes feel strangely wet. I feel some of my power returning; not much but enough to give me a good five seconds of light. Using my wet hand I start the fire and immediately wish I hadn't.

    The second I see the boy I once again I feel a twinge of fear, but nonetheless I took off running as fast as could; pushing anyone out of my way and muttering apologies as I do so. After running for what felt like an eternity I can finally see the entrance of the building but I probably still have another 25% of the run left. I feel the warmth from my power beginning to fade as I continue to run towards the building and I'm forced to slow my pace to a jog lest my power completely deplete itself.

    Without my power I'm no stronger than an average human; not counting my resistance to electricity. If that gunner shows up again I'd probably be killed on the spot if he so much as tapped me if the earlier battle was any indication to how much stronger he is then any of us. However as I jog towards the building a see a figure enter the building. Unable to tell who or what it is I grumble to myself, "Aw hell, looks like I'm going in handicapped," as I begin sprinting for the entrance again.

    (Would this situation actually be counted as a handicap? If so I was thinking that if there was a handicap it would be like having no SP if a battle occured or something.)

    The words "He'll kill that boy" seemed to repeat endlessly in my head. The look in the man's eyes, his absolute certainty and despair, as he pleaded with me; it got the point across that this was far beyond what I thought I understood of the current situation. I want to go find the boy but to do so would be to abandon the man. It's a crossroads that I'd rather not take but the decision has been forced on me and time runs short for both of them.

    "I'll go after the boy," I finally decided. The kid that'd been following me looks like he is going to volunteer to go with me; so I add quickly "However I'd appreciate it if you two would take care of this man as best as possible."

    "What're the odds?" I asked myself after the battle was over. The fact that the kid that'd been tailing me since I arrived in the square was a shade was surprising. All the shade's I've had the displeasure of knowing were either crazy or violent and destructive for no reason. And I assume that this farmer is a shade himself seeing as the kid didn't seem to expect the vines to just suddenly wrap around the gunner.

    I was further surprised by the kid's offer though. He's willing to treat me to a meal if I tell him whether or not I've seen the people in the photo. Seeing no downside I took the photo and began examining it. The people in it seemed familiar in a way but no specific pair jumped into my mind. "Sorry kid can't say I have," I say while handing to photo back. "Now how about that meal?"

    For a moment it felt like time froze and I felt a slight twinge of fear but I brushed it aside; someone had just been shot while trying to buy food! Even since my mother's death, even if she tortured me for years, I've been unusually sensitive when other people's lives are at stake. I grabbed my lance and charged at the man with the revolver hoping to end him on the spot.

    "You'll pay for that with blood!" I shouted at him as he tried to fade back into the crowd. I manifested a Flame Shield just encase the revolver has more rounds. And even if it didn't my shield still made a nice weapon considering it was made of flames. Just then I thought I heard someone shout from up in the air but I ignored it as I was probably just imagining things due to my hunger.

    I look around the square for awhile trying to find work or an abandoned building where I could stay until I land a job and adjust to the life style of NYC. As I scope out the square I notice that despite the slight amount of my power I use to stay warm I am still feeling a lasting chill; my stomach rumbles and I remember: "I haven't eaten today," I grumble to myself. My priority quickly changes from a job and shelter to some warmer clothing and food. I spot a food cart/wagon that has reasonable prices and if I bought little I could probably still afford a cheap sweater afterwards. I approach the cart only to find that someone appears to be haggling with the owner and decide to wait my turn as to not draw attention to myself; although it's not easy with the lance on my back.

    I'll just answer for both of us (don't worry I've been talking with Harkus, we know each other in reality and he told me to anyway >.>). For me I'm perfectly fine with my stats and abilities in fact I'd say they're perfect for Reyv. Harkus has seen my stats and stuff and agrees with my opinion just with less enthusiasm.

    Aw geez Pi I was just kidding when I said to answer for me!(-.-) Nice new Azel picture btw. Anyway as Pi stated I'm perfectly fine with what you've got for the both of us. And no sweat on the time it takes to make a character. I know from experience it's not easy to make a new character rather than update them... I have a cast of OCs, and they all probably took from 30 min to 1hr 30min because details and whatnot!

    Your abilities are fine at their core, the "stronger" versions you proposed could just be upgraded versions. Also, I'm changing the name of your last ability since pyromancy is a general term for creating and controlling fire. It will still work exactly the same way, though.

    And Pi, you're character looks good to me. Let me know what you think of your stat spread and thank's for signing up!

    When both characters are set, we can start and let others join in as it's going.

    Alright I made good choices then!

    P.S. TBH I was hoping you'd rename pyromancy because I couldn't think of anything to call it so I just put down pyromancy.

    I made massive updates to the OP and the following post, all players should read through both.

    Harkas, thank you for signing up! The only thing left for you to do is to create 3 abilities for your character. Come up with anything, and I'll make the necessary adjustments. Also, review your character's stats and make sure everything is good.

    Yeah my stats look fine although... Actually never mind. If my buff ability checks out it would be a suitable solution.

    Abilities:

    -Flame Shield: Manifests a wall of fire that surrounds the caster. Can be used to attack or defend.

    If that's broken I'll settle for : Manifests shield of flame fit for the caster's hand. Can be used to attack or defend.

    -Empower: I'm thinking this could be a general skill as in: not shade/pyromancer related. Buffs str, spd, and def by a set amount.

    If That's too much just str and def.

    -Pyromancy: I was thinking this would be like a status ailment attack. It'd do little to no damage but would have a high chance of burning/setting fire to whatever the (unfortunate) target was. (That and I'm saving Fire Ball for the first skill I'll learn).

    Name: Haion

    Age: 21

    Species: Shade (Infected Human)

    Height: 5'8"

    Sex: Male

    Appearance: Somewhat muscular build, short brown hair that is always unkempt no matter what he tries to do to control it and viridian-green eyes. He wears a hood-less black pullover over a grey long sleeve shirt, black jeans and running shoes. His body is covered with scars from his youth but are not visible with his usual clothing.

    Powers: Pyromancy, Electricity Resistance/Fear.

    Position: Neutral

    Equipment: Antique lance he bought, standard clothing

    Personality: Haion is generally uncaring for people other than himself but he is still willing to help someone out if it suits his agenda or if it would save said someone’s life. He tries to fit in wherever he ends up even if it means changing his personality and life style. He would rather flee than fight if things came down to such but he would still fight if fleeing would tarnish his reputation or he just doesn't like the offender. Due to incidents earlier in his life he is terrified of electricity to the point where a spark can have him hightailing it.

    Back Story: Haion was born after The End and was raised individually by his mother after he turned eight until he turned 16 due to his father's untimely murder. His mother tried to raise him to be a respectable man like his father was but he wouldn’t have any of it and instead often snuck away from home to learn how to fight with lances due to an odd fascination with them. Sometime after he began sneaking out his mother became a shade that could utilize electricity and disciplined, more like tortured, him using said powers. The infection must have been deteriorating her mind because one day, she simply ceased functioning after “disciplining” Haion. In a turn of events Haion also became a shade but gained pyromancy, increased physical abilities, such as speed and strength, and due to his “disciplining” a resistance to electricity. After his mother's death he didn't know what to do other than take what was valuable and start wandering in hopes that he'd somehow manage to survive or arrive at a relatively peaceful town where he could settle down. He has yet to find such a place due to the fear of shades and has nearly given up on finding such a place.
