I actually like the way you describe it and having the power role after the initial bio makes more sense. If Bernard's powers are just manifesting it would make more sense that the physical mutations are becoming progressively worse. Perhaps the note with the ID card indicated thatthere was someone who could help him understand what was happening and why.

@dave: Okay cool, I was hoping it made sense. Maybe I should add a similar description somewhere on the site to let others know what I was thinking. I'm just not sure where I'd put it. I'll think of something. As for Bernard discovering his strange powers, would you have him deform more over time? For example he looks like the dog man in his bio now, but lets say a few months into the role play he starts turning more into the creature you posted in here? Like a slow mutation as his powers manifest, or are you just going to have him start that way? Just asking so I know how to post with my characters in what they see.
@flickery: I see you posted up your Bio and storage. I will now officially welcome you to the site! I was going to delete your account because I didn't think you were going to post... Well, now you just have to start your basic training so that you can catch up and meet Aileana! ;D
@everyone else: Not sure if you noticed it, but on the main page where it shows the last post that was made/edited at the very bottom of the site, there is another link that says "View the 20 most recent posts of this forum", if you have a hard time keeping track of all the recent posts that were made, that would be a good place to look to see them all. As we get more members, or our current members start to make more posts a day, it can start to become a bit confusing with who made what post and when it was made. Sometimes posts can go overlooked, especially if several people are all posting within the same topic. Alright, just thought to point it out in case you missed it.

What I'm thinking is Bernard will begin with large dog-like ears (all puppies grow into their ears). Perhaps his nose is beginning to change to that of a muzzle. The rapid hair gain he has been trying to keep under control keeping it cropped short but it only grows in thicker. Using his power and the microwaves involved only accelerates the growth.

@safi: Yes, you can change your own picture, but you can't upload it to the site straight from the hard drive. Which is kinda annoying. You have to use a URL. I use flickR to upload all of my pictures because if you have a Yahoo email account, it automatically creates a FlickR account for you to use (Because Yahoo owns it).
After you upload your pics to a online picture storing place, just copy the URL of the picture and past the link into the profile for the avatar. Photobucket is another place you could use, but the bandwitdh there gets eaten up like crazy because so many bots spam sites now, and when it runs out the link to your pic will break.
@dave: Alright, I think I know what he looks like. I'll keep that in mind when posting.

Sorta? I don't think it looks bad. What did you have in mind? I have to get used to seeing the pic in the corner though, I had started forming my own image of her in my head. And lol about her imagination. I can't help but smile whenever I read one of your posts, they're awesome! ;D
Okay, I'm heading out the door now. Sorry if my posts seem a bit rushed, I haven't had time to read over them all. I will fix any issues with them when I get back.
@safi: Kisses? ROFL! Where did that come from? Haha. I had a hard time thinking of what to say for that post... wow...
@flickery (Gonna call you that because I don't yet know your name): For the most part it looks like you understand everything, so I'm going to cut down the final tutorial with Powerflux, and just have you do the important parts. The last post may still be a bit long though. Also I noticed you added your pic. It looks awesome!
@everyone: I'm building Naida and Aileana as a "Bridge" of information. Rycroft and Naida are going to share everything they know with Aileana, so that after they split up, Aileana can pass it on to whoever else she runs into. That way every single player won't have to keep going up to Rycroft's office hearing the same story in the exact same way, they can ask someone else. The tutorial already gets old like that.
On the cheek, worry not. I'm pretty sure I made that clear on the post... I'm trying to get into the role of a teenage girl somewhere in the lower spectrum of autism trying to discern human behavior, needless to say, awkward physical contact is only to be expected.
