Existentialism (OOC)

[Lydyn]

"In the beginning there was discovery."

December 21st, 2013 ...

The world watches in fear as a terrorist group known as Sin 13 takes over a Russian nuclear weapons facility. As months drag on by with the threat of a complete nuclear fallout from the near thousand warheads, news across the globe continues to report on the situation, urging the world leaders to take action. August 11th, 2013 is the date written into history when they were neutralized - most being killed as a Special Ops field unit made up of several different countries rushed in and effectively saved the world from destruction. Though no one to this day knows why Sin 13 threatened the world, making some speculate that it was a bluff - but for what?

It's four months later and people are still on edge, calling out for blood and blame, wanting to call someone out to root out the problem so it never happens again. They are scared - everyone is scared, even if they don't admit it - and even worse, they don't understand. However there are bigger things coming in Sin 13's wake. Unknown to all but a select percentage of the world's population, people are experiencing strange things. Alien things. Certain individuals are displaying abilities, well beyond the norm of humans. Some see these people as heroes, some as villains, some as dangerous ... but what it comes down to, is simple - Evolution.

• GM has final say: Be respectful when the GM (me) says something has to go a certain way. Generally speaking, I'm really laid back and dynamic about my plots and stories. Think of this more as a sandbox with a general plot - if I tell you something, it's probably because it's outside the scope of the setting.
• Be Respectful: Just treat each other with respect. If there's a problem, bring it to my attention.
• No Metagaming: Very simple - don't take OOC knowledge and use it IC, unless it makes sense, like knowing the limits of your power.
• Posting: You may post twice each round (each round consists of every player posting at least once, then the GM posting).
• Inactivity: Let me know if something comes up. If left without notification and it's been up to a week, I have the right to move on with the role-play. Also if you become inactive here but I notice you posting elsewhere actively without having discussed it with me, I will move on.

[Akuma No Musuko]

Name: Damien McCormick

Age: 22

Gender: Male

Sexuality: Straight

Profession/Occupation: Gamestop Clerk

Appearance:

Personality: The kind of person to bottle his emotions. Willing to speak his mind. Never rushes into a fight without considering his odds. Is really intelligent despite his calm demeanor. Has some difficulty talking to girls in any way other than simple conversation.

Life History: Ever since he was young, he had never really shown much emotion towards anything. Whether it was the t-ball games when he was five or the mandatory school play at age 12, he was never happy with victory or sad with defeat. Even his step-father called him a "future serial-killer" because he was slightly scared of Damien's indifference towards everything. During Damien's early teenage years, he eventually learned how to show emotion, even if he didn't really feel it. Despite the face he put on practically everyday, he never really felt anything except one thing: Anger.

For some strange reason, Damien always felt angry with, well, everything. Whether it was his teachers or his parents or even incessant ticking of the clock, anything would piss him off to know end, and he would always heep the feelings pushed down. However, it's only a matter of time before something drives him over the edge.

When the whole "Sin 13" fiasco erupted, he still felt the same anger, but there was nothing he could do except watch and wait. Normal, he only felt anger towards anything that annoyed him, but this...this was different. A part of him wondered what gave them the right to hang the world on a string like that. If they didn't have control over the weapons facility, they would've been nothing; just specks on the world with their own problems.

Power: Adoptive Muscle Memory

[Lydyn]

Sorry for not clarifying ... I'll be doing all rolls. That means you get a second chance for 5% in a way, since you'd need to hit 5 or less. :P

[Akuma No Musuko]

Ah, okay then.

[Lydyn]

Age: 24
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Profession/Occupation: Bookstore Owner
Personality: A true introvert that displays unusual displays of social confidence. He's friendly and sweet, often giving off the vibe of that one good friend that you just don't see often. With his odd sense of humor, a lot of people can either easily tell he's intelligent or can't tell at all. Some people might even call him out of touch with reality, always daydreaming about other worlds and places.

Life History
Myles grew up in the small town of Kiowa, Colorado. He was a quiet kid, but grew up being teased and bullied because of his sweet, naive nature and his above average intelligence. He lived a relatively lonely life, when his father left him at the age of eight and he became even more withdrawn into himself into his teenage years. However when his mother passed at the age of eighteen and he went to live with his aunt and uncle, he started to open up more to those around him and slowly came out of his shell. Within the next couple years, he grew fast enough as a person that a lot of people commented on his progress and even started dating for the first time in his life.

Shelly Brown was his first serious relationship and they were even talking about marriage by the time Myles was twenty-one. Unfortunately Shelly got hit by a car while crossing the street and didn't make it, leaving Myles lonely once more as he regressed just a little. He's since then opened a bookstore and delved deeply into his favorite hobby of reading fantasy novels and comic books. Sin 13's threat to the world shook the young man, inspiring a sense of heroism inside him as he wished he could stop the terrorist group and derail the possible nuclear war. It was a huge relief to him when they were brought down, but he still feels something inside him wanting to get out and help. For now, he quietly reads his book and smiles to his customers.

Set Power: Ability Replication

[ShotgunJones]

Name: James Wilson

Age: 28

Gender: Male

Sexuality: Hetrosexual

Profession/Occupation: Professional Wrestler

Appearance: Athletic, muscular and toned. Blonde with short hair, blue eyes, solid but not prominent cheekbones and a nice smile.


Personality: Friendly, outgoing and often jovial. Though he has learned to behave in a more authoritative manner after working with people in the field of mental health care. He hhas also been trained to become more resilient in dealing with stressful situations.

Life History: Born to middle class parents in rural Oxfordshire, James Wilson attended a reputable local grammar school, before attending Oxford University, studying psychology.

Eventually he gained a job working in mental health care for the NHS. With the job requiring him to move to London. However this relocation also allowed him to pursue a very old dream of becoming a professional wrestler, giving him both the money and opportunity to train at the London Wrestling Academy. He wrestled on the weekends in local shows which drew greater and greater audiences. And when the WWE was visiting London he was hired as local talent to lose to one of their big roster names in an untelevised match. However he impressed the head of talent relations, covering for several mistakes made by the drunken star he was performing with and was subsequently hired full time.

James Wilson is currently Intercontinental Champion in the WWE. And wrestles under the gimmick of "The Incredible" Jack Action.

Wilson is also somewhat of a martial arts film fanatic, he learned ju jitsu, shotokan karate and aikido wanting to copy his favourite film stars. He gained brown, black and brown belts respectively at various clubs in Oxfordshire, but lacked the desire to teach and the time commitments need to reach black belt in jitsu or aikido.

Set Power: Teleportation -> Swapped for Telekinesis!

[SomeoneSomewere]

Age: 22
Gender: Male
Sexuality: straight
Profession/Occupation: Lifeguard
Appearance:
Personality: He is mostly a calm guy. Mostly. He has tended to get mad at others when annoyed, but any other time, he is calm. He has a rather go with the flow personality, trying to bend around any troubling things in life or accept them.
Life History: His parents were the normal kind and caring people. His father worked for the army however. He loved his father and looked up to him. Sure, he loved his mom, but he loved his father more. When he grew up, he wanted to be in the military like his dad. However, when the Sin 13 came to power, his father was deployed there. He never came back. He died with honor, even if it destroyed Allan's life. During the whole period, he wanted revenge. He was angry and upset most of the time and withdrawn. During the time, he started to work more on his physical strength, giving some direction in his life other then swimming. The rough routine helped him. He still feels the want for revenge, and he hasn't completely recovered from his dad's death. He withdrawed from his mom, not letting her comfort him. He is continuing with building up muscle strength, thinking somehow that he could get revenge.
Set power: telepathy

Name
Garrett Reiver

Age
24

Gender
Male

Sexuality
Straight

Profession/Occupation
Bartender

Appearance


Personality
General saying, Garrett seems like a nice guy. He seems friendly enough, always smiling and sometimes, appears to be blessed with the memory of a gold fish. But of course, once you get to know him enough, Garrett is quite unpredictable and completely unreliable under his friendly facade, often likes to act on his whims. And even though he looks nothing like it, Canes is a little paranoid, but he knows how to hide it well. A individualist and opportunist, he enjoys nothing more than getting out on top of every situations

Life History
Garrett didn’t exactly have a very good childhood. His mother died when he was 8, and 4 years later, his sister died of the same disease. His father buried himself in work, this resulted in them moving a lot. Therefore, Garrett didn’t really have many friends. As he grew into his teenage years, the empty house became unbearable for him, and he took every opportunity to stay away from it. He constantly got into trouble, just to distract himself. His father didn’t even seem to care, or perhaps he was just too busy. Either, Garrett didn’t care. They hardly spoke anymore, except on the rare occasion when he came to bail Garrett out.

Eventually, when he grew into adulthood, Garrett changed a little. At least, his façade did. He no longer caused as much trouble as before, or at least, not directly. After graduating from college, he spent a lot of his time at night clubs. The noises, the commotion,… they always managed to drown out his thoughts. In the end, he decided to work in one. He smiled a lot, acted friendly even toward drunks and trouble-seeking thugs. But he also had a g19 strapped under the counter, just in case… Despite his looks, Garrett was quite a heavy drinker. He could drink a lot when he wanted to, though most of the time, he liked to stay sober.

Preferred Power: Freezing or perhaps Healing touch

[Lydyn]

We need more female characters, lol!

[Akuma No Musuko]

That's what I was thinking.
