Using some of your physical, mental and emotional traits create a character. This character needs to be low tier in abilities for the most part. Street level of slightly higher. It doesn't need to be your age but perhaps if it were your mental age (how serious and mature you are.) I'll explain by making my own. Feel free to add abilities: mainly enhanced strength, intelligence, etc but don't go all out and say they can move at the speed of light. Mach one is top. They can perhaps sense things at great speeds but not match that speed. But you can enhance your own height if you're still growing to match what you are believed to reach. Your character can change over time. Especially if you're older and want your character to grow. But keep them mentally the same age. Remember you can add strength intelligence etc but only some.

Here's an explanation for me under another name.

James Merrarn:

Reporter, writer, and inventor.

Height: 6'3"

Eyes: Hazel

Hair: black

Dark skin.

Slender "bony"

Alias: The Enforcer

Even though he has family and friends he keeps his identity public without telling to much.

Holds great respect for military and authorities.

Abilities:

Contortionist: can manipulate body into seemingly impossible or painful positions.

Snake fighter: when wrestling can pin an opponent down by mixing contortion with being slender and equivelently wrapping up an opponent. This also makes escaping an opponents grasp easier and close range fighting a good attack.

Blitz: can dodge at surprising speeds in various ways. Possible use for attack.

Intelligent: although having a sometimes difficult time communicatin such as forgetting words or simply not understanding them he can think out lower level strategies and plans as well as population manipulation. Likes to make riddles. Likes to criticize lack of science or realism in media. Works up scenarios of various (however implausible) circumstances for future reference or perhaps even on accident.

Reaction: Can react to things that may seem undetectable. Being able to contort the body without losing balance helps when dodging attacks of various forms. Sometimes predicts where an attack will be.

Fighting skill: while not fully trained he has a natural fighting ability. He can fight well at wrestling without injuring opponent even though he has thought of ways to severely do so using biology and science. Can shoot well with guns (various). Prefers the atlatl as a long range weapon due to its simplicity and historical use. Likes arbiters and staffs as closer range weapons but also twin swords. His skill is good with them while not expert he could fend off one.

Glide: He can't full out run for long periods of time. But he can "glide". This consists of large "gazelle-like" leaps allowing him to regain some energy in the air and keep up this pace for extended periods of time without stopping.

Acting: He can get extremely into character on every mental and phycological level. This allows him the ability to easily cheat lie detectors, empaths, and telepaths to the point of calling himself and anti-telepath. This also seems to shift his speed and strength as well as attention.

Empathically inclined: Sometimes he will know exactly what someone means with little reason. Perhaps just a look. This also gives him an edge on attacks from telepaths, empaths, etc.

A writer: This greatly assists him in acting and is a min reason for it. He can create an immense character and plot in a few moments and get into character instantly. This also means he plans things out way before he even knew he'd need it because it fits into his stories.

Aquatic inclined: Has a deep appreciation for applications of water, except oral absorption for some reason. Has the ability to remain underwater for extended periods of time without breathing and being able to move with a sudden dodge or attack as well as long drawn out swims (most likeley crawling) near the bottom of the water. Dislikes chlorine.

Contortion climbing: this is what he uses for getting through forests or the like without touching the ground. He manipulates his body in such a way to move through thick/thin trees with ease including leaps and going in between several limbs simultaneously.

"Meditation": he can literally stop thinking and sit/stand/kneel for extended periods of time. His senses become very attuned during this and he appears to be sleeping of something similar. Sometimes instead of not think he focuses on the senses or creates scenarios in his head. This also helps lower anger and pain.

His head is rather hard and can sustain more damage than average.

Morbid: has no problem speaking about death or destruction and is sometimes completely emotionless. Has an interest in disecting things.

Is healthy normally.

Likes to repurpose things: eggs become projectiles. Portable batter becomes brass knuckles. Etc.

Weaknesses:

Socially awkward: When meeting in person he sometimes remains silent for a while. If someone else speaks he will back down making him appear anti social. This way he tends to only communicate with one person. While he can plan things out well and easily interrupt while acting he doesn't do so when not acting and has trouble explaining his thought process.

Lack of humor: takes things seriously a lot and will miss jokes or not laugh at them.

Back problem: has an issue in the back creating extended non motion very painful unless lying down.

Allergy to a certain tree (only allergy he has) but rarely takes effect.

Empathic pain: sometimes sees painful scenarios and feels and sometimes reacts to that pain. This sometimes makes people question his sanity.

Hypoglycemia: This doesn't always cause pain and near fainting but it can. Must eat meat consistently. This can however be very dangerous to an opponent if it causes emotional strain instead. A burst of strength and speed combined with the hight and contortionism can be rather frightening even for a larger opponent. During this pain is often completely ignored and sometimes used to farther increase rage.

Communication: sometimes has problems communicating.

"Bony": this makes some blunt attacks against him worse even hough he sometimes uses his bones as attacks.

Facial recognition: While he can often recognize faces to actions he seems to have difficulty in recognizing faces to names.

Salty: eats a lot of salt and puts it on almost every food.

I actually rather like this. A way to sort of talk about yourself without being too far away from RPG :P

Name: Khalil Boran

Alias: Prophet

Height: 5 '9

Weight: 165 pounds

Ethnicity: Black

Eye Color: Brown

Hair Color: Black

Build: Average/Slightly toned

Abilities

Peak Human Attributes

Track Athlete

  • Peak Human Stamina
  • Peak Human Endurance

Empathetic Prediction

Able to imagine themselves as another person, as well as mimick their thought processes to such a degree as to be able to predict their next attack and movement. Can also be used to understand people psychologically and narrow down motivations.

Tactical Analysis

Keen on breaking down opponents and paying attention to what they do, and coming up with inventive solutions on how to tackle different problems.

  • Pattern Recognition: While failing to excel at math (is actually terrible at it) excels at complex problem solving.

Macgyver

Excels at improvising tools and weapons to solve problems.

Weaknesses/Strengthes

(-)(+) Einsteinian ADHD

Does horribly in school and has difficulty focusing on tasks that do not particularly interest him. However, manages to excel at practically anything he takes great interest in. Can easily be distracted from certain tasks.

(-) Lack of upper Body Strength

Approximately 2 years of track without properly honing the upper body left him with less than desirable upper body strength. More time in bootcamp where he is literally not allowed to workout unless instructed to and inability to use pull up bar left him with less back strength (though still enough to do around.

(-) Anchorite

Opposite of a socialite, though can socialize, is not outgoing and does not often form very long lasting relationships with people. Less than adept with many social situations. Requires time to come up with witty responses.
