This story begins with a meteor (comet? Who cares.) falling over a mid-sized city in New York (the state). The meteor comes so close to crashing to Earth in the center of a complex of schools, where Elementary, Middle, and High schools sit close to a small college on the edge of the city. And then the meteor just vanishes the instant it would have hit, and with it more than a dozen individuals (the original story had 20, but I'm not going to deal with that in RP format).

These "disappeared" individuals go from wherever they were when the meteor struck to suddenly laying on their back in the middle of a grassy clearing. No one knows how they got there, but those with watches can see that no time has passed since they were taken. The only one who seems to know what is going on is a young boy who was standing in the middle of the clearing as everyone else came to terms with their new surroundings. All of the abducted individuals soon display impossible, incredible, terrible abilities. The boy is there to teach them how to use their powers, but what happens when he lets them do what they want? Conflict is inevitable, trouble rising, between gods and gods, gods and man, gods and things they have to business troubling.

---

This is basically a superhero/powers RP with some walls knocked down. Just because I'm calling the characters gods does not mean that they are omnipotent. Each god only has one basic power, and while some gods with absolutes in their power will start at full potency, others will be constantly growing in power. Either way, powers evolve and change over time, and there is no cap at how powerful a god can be. They are also still very much mortal, and they die just as easily as any other person. Don't try headbutting bullets just yet.

All of the character will be normal people at the beginning of the RP but will come into their power very early in the story, in the first day actually. The young boy who abducted each of the new gods is my character, and he is not a god, at least not in the same way that the player characters are. He, and others of his type, will be controlled by me and used to set up story events and keep peace on occasion.

In the beginning, all of the god characters will be confined to a large underground bunker as the boy teaches them about their power and just observes them. This will be the time to interact with each other and make friends and enemies. Keep in mind though, you are being held against your will at this time. How long your character will be confined can change depending on how fast people post and how fast I can advance the days, but I expect it to be a little while as this time sets up for the entirety of the rest of the story. I may PM individuals on things I would like them to influence, so keep in mind that I am trying to steer events at most times from behind the scenes.

Once the gods are released into the wild and my overseer conveniently vanishes for a period, things will become more violent. (You're free to attempt to kill each other or yourself even before then, but my character will most likely intervene then.) Tiny disagreements can turn into reality-warping battles between two gods, and the military will get involved as the gods are seen and become known. Maybe you go visit your family that you couldn't see because you were abducted and thought dead by the world, only to be ambushed by fighter jets and tanks, or maybe an enemy god is there waiting for you. Shit will really hit the fan when word gets out that so many gods existing at once is causing reality to break apart. Is that incentive to go on a killing spree I see? Why yes, yes it it.

In this RP, you can die. I fully expect many characters to die. For that reason, I will allow people to have multiple characters, probably three max. Though death isn't always final for gods. Some gods, should they die at specific times or in specific ways, come back as something different. These are special cases, and if you find yourself in a situation where this is an option I will make you aware of it.

There's more, but this is just an iCheck so I think that's enough for now. It's basically a character-driven super RP where everyone slowly becomes OP or dies off. PMs and collabs would be used to give each player information specific to their character and deepen interactions, and any direct conflicts between players would be done in collab with me overseeing the power creep. All I have left to say is probably the most important thing for those who think they might be interested in joining: You make your character, but you don't choose your power. I will look at your character and accept or deny them, but you won't know what power they have until the event where each character finds out at roughly the same time. If you are uncomfortable with that not knowing or the possibility that you might get what you see as a "useless" power, then thank you for reading and I'm sorry to see you go. Not all powers will be created equally, and some will be more offensive or defensive than others. The only influence you have over what powers your characters get is two sections that will be on the CS where you list the top three powers you think would go with the character and the bottom three you think wouldn't go at all with the character. They may influence what power is given, or be read and ignored.

For reference, here's a spoiler with some one word descriptions of some of the powers that may be given out.


I'll probably read this in the morning and realize that I can't understand a word of my own writing, but it's late, so... posting anyway. Ideally I'm looking for about four other people each playing two or three characters, but I'm not going to force myself to stick to that. I consider myself a pretty loose GM, and I'm very open to the ideas and suggestions of others. If I do something that you don't like, please, call me out on it. As always, I look forward to RPing with you in the past, present, and future.

Edit: Just looking at what's here... I think I put too much. Eh... sorry 'bout that. I might have to add a TL;DR version if people are put off by the wall of text.

I would love to play. If I make up a character do you want it PMed or posted?

This sounds very interesting, count me in :)

Plus, I like the uncertainty. Not getting to pick my own power means probably playing someone that I haven't before.

Feel free to make a character. You can PM me it or post it here, but it will get posted in the OOC either way, assuming that happens. Here's a thrown together CS that can be used for now. You're free to use a CS of a different format, so long as it has all the information.



Once the powers are revealed IC, I will PM each person a short summary of the power at its current level along with some other helpful tidbits of info that could end up saving their life.

I'm very interested in this.

Super interested in this! Thanks for the character sheet too. ^.^

Cool, turning this story into an RP isn't a total bust! I'll probably have the OOC up some time tomorrow, but you're free to submit characters at any time. I don't like too many players in an RP, so I'll probably close the RP to new players at some point but still allow accepted players to create more characters to fill out the roster before the IC begins.

No rush though, this won't happen right away. I'll check back in in the morning to see if anyone else has shown interest and work on the OOC.

I shall create two characters: sisters. Just to make it easier on me. Here they are, so everyone can see them :)

Name: Elena Foster
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Appearance:

Elena stands at 5'5'', with soft chocolate eyes and warm auburn hair. In the sun, it appears to be more red than she'd actually like it to be. Though she is not heavy, Elena does have meat on her bones and could not be called "thin." Personally, she likes it that way. After all, what guy doesn't like a nice butt?

Personality: Elena is quick to speak her mind, and never holds back her feelings. This can lead to both love and hatred from her peers, but she takes them all in stride. She'll admit that she has a bit of a temper (NOT because of her hair color), but she is working very hard on that. Described as loud, blunt, and stubborn, she can be hard to get along with. However, once she is close to someone, Elena will stick up for that person no matter what.

History: From the day she was born until the day she turned 3, Elena was an only child. Some would say that there's no way that she could remember this or be influenced at all by those early years, but it wasn't true. Sharing was not something she was accustomed to, and when her sister was born... well she learned that she did not like it one bit. If everyone shared everything, no one would have anything. That's what she believed anyway, even if it didn't make much sense. As the two of them grew, their personalities became painfully conflicting. Because of this, Elena was out of the house early in hopes of getting away from the constant fighting. She applied to a college nearby and is now living in the dorms on campus with no planned major in sight.
Top Three Powers: Not sure.
Bottom Three Powers: Uh... Death. Maybe. And possibly water.

Name: Lucy Foster
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Appearance:

Lucy is shorter than her sister, with a height of 5'2. Her hair is a very light blonde, and her eyes - a bright blue. Their sizes are also different, as Lucy is thin with very little muscle or fat anywhere on her body. Some have expressed concerns about this, but she does eat regularly and seems to just have a very fast metabolism. She has the body of a girl much younger than herself, with no curves, much to her dismay.

Personality: Unlike her sister, Lucy is quiet and soft spoken. She would never say anything to hurt someone else's feelings, on purpose or by accident. Everything word she speaks is thought about very carefully. This means that she does not have many enemies, but neither does she have many friends. This never bothered her, as her attention was distracted by something else: music. For this, she has a passion, and will gladly spend hours upon hours listening and looking for new songs that she will enjoy. If asked to describe herself, Lucy would probably say something along the lines of quiet or possibly patient. But when others are asked, they use the words cold and unnerving.

History: All of her life, Lucy felt like she was being compared to her sister. It did not help that this sister was loud and overbearing, quickly snuffing out the small voice that Lucy had. Early on she learned to keep her distance because honestly, the sisters were just too different. Elena was always complaining about something whether it was the clothes she was bought, or the rides she would have to give to her little sister, and Lucy eventually just shut herself in her room to avoid her sister all together. This is when music became a part of her life. With her headphones in, and the volume turned up, she couldn't hear anything that Elena was saying. It was bliss. To this day, the only time you see her without headphones is during school hours, though the reason she started listening is no longer around.

Top Three Powers: Not sure.
Bottom Three Powers: Probably... fire? Or... Protection? Was that one? I forget. (Edit: It's Barrier that I was thinking of.)

WOOPS. Ignore that for now until I fix it!

Edit: It is fixed. Hopefully they are okay. If you want me to change or edit anything, let me know

I'm in. I'll only be able to do a paragraph for a day or two, until my laptop gets back from best buy repair center.

Well here's a character.

I'm going to cry. I typed up a huge CS on my iPod, the worst device ever, and just as I hit submit, it blank screened. I might have to stay out of this, unless my laptop gets back in time.

Character a-post-post!

Name: Jade Chance
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Appearance: Jade stands at a height of five feet and six inches tall. She has a chubby build, though she has strong arms and legs thanks to the hard work that goes on in a kitchen. Her dark black hair is kept in a short, slightly messy, pixie cut and her eyes are green. She has a pale, peachy skin tone. She wears simple clothing, jeans and t-shirts and the like, and is fond of hoodies in colder weather.

Personality: Jade could be best summed up as someone who is happy making other people happy. A caretaker at heart, she enjoys being around other people enjoying themselves. She is a fairly empathetic person, easily stressed out by other people being upset or angry, and so she does her best to keep everyone happy and relaxed. She has her own buttons however, mainly in the form of some odd pet-peeves, but she is generally an easy enough person to get along with. She has a passion for cooking, and enjoys hearing what people have to say about the food she prepares. This is also relevant to one of her pet-peeves, as she is easily annoyed by those who dance around criticisms and being overly afraid of offending her – Most primarily regarding the intricacies of cooking, but she also prefers people to speak plainly and honestly in general. Otherwise, she tends to prefer to simply be in the presence of others but not particularly "in the spotlight" herself.

History: Jade is a college student, pursuing degrees in Culinary Arts and intending to become a chef or baker – something she has yet to make her mind up on. This was an easy choice for her, as she grew up in a sort of secondary caretaker role. Daughter of a single father who worked long hours and most of the week, it often fell to her as the oldest to take care of herself and the rest of the family. Said family consisted of her younger brother and cousin, the latter having come to more or less be like a little sister due to how often she stayed over with them. This caretaker activity primarily came in the form of cooking meals, and she quickly became rather skilled at it – Much to her father's surprise and enjoyment, as there hadn't been anyone to really teach her how it was done. Growing up was otherwise relatively normal for her, if occasionally rocky due to money concerns now and then. When she was old enough she took a part time job at a deli in a supermarket, and continues to work there when not busy with classes or taking care of her family at home.

Powers: Bit of an odd request but whatever you think is the LEAST “fitting” to the character, for thematic reasons or whatever else strikes you.

Oh wow that suuuuucks! I hate whenever anything like that happens, it's the worst. ;.;

I most likely won't be able to get my CS up until Sunday but I'll try and get it down earlier, perhaps tomorrow or the day after.

I'm game. Here we go.

GYWYDK, I cannot accept that character as it is. She looks like she could be five but is somehow 20, and she has blue hair. And the personalty, besides giving me a headache just reading it, is a no go. I suggest try writing a lot less for personality, as much of it will be determined IC. I just want a basic idea for now, one that will likely change dramatically as the story unfolds. I did enjoy the writing style though, but it's out of place in a CS, which unlike an IC post is meant to be more concise.

Those who've posted a character here, if I don't say anything about them that just means that there's nothing wrong or out of place with them. I'll be accepting characters after the OOC is up and when I close the RP to new players. No comment doesn't mean I'm ignoring the character or anything.

A note for everybody: I'm also looking for characters outside of the RPer norm of 16-21. The youngest and oldest characters in the original story ended up being just as powerful as any of the other gods.

Name: Dick Richardson
Age: 13 years old
Gender: male
Appearance:
Dick Richardson is a 5'4, 126 lb, green eyed, black haired kid. He is shy, sensitive and intelligent, has good looks for his age, and looks healthy, but he suffers from respiratory problems. Sometimes he has trouble breathing and he doesn't eat much at all, thus, he is a little too feminine and frail looking. He is tanned, although staying too long indoors can make him very pale.
Personality:
Dick Richardson is an aspiring actor, playwright, and author. He's light years ahead of almost all students his age or even a handful of years older. It's said he can act very well, but he's very shy. He had a girl named Sophia that he liked, since they were ten years old. Eventually, Sophia was killed by runaway dogs, and he was badly mauled. Because of this he is constantly musing in poetry. It's been three months since her death. He doesn't socialize anymore, but when he meets old friends he will be in their "opinion" a very cool guy. He won't hesitate to get hurt in order to protect his friends, he loves to study and he's very polite. He also has an obsession with European history, from the earliest time periods up to present day.

He has gotten one hundred percent in entire College Courses in history of England, France, Spain and Germany. He studies the details of Medieval life of people from Ireland to Eastern Europe with great detail. Some say he knows more obscure facts about the Middle Ages than some Professors. Since he's always studying, he's always learning. Sometimes he talks a lot and won't stop talking. Other times he doesn't say a thing and never talks. When he does talk he's usually reserved, polite and informative.

History: He was born to an upper Middle Class family in 2001. He was thought of as a child prodigy throughout his youth even though he suffered from physical frailty. He could be extremely charming and polite, and was known as one of the most intelligent students in his school. Eventually his father died four years ago and he fell into depression. He met a girl named, Sophia four months after his father, George's death, and they were happy until the day of her eleventh birthday, where she was mauled outdoors by dogs until she died. All he really does is read, play video games and hang out with friends anymore since then. It's hard for him to do anything with people he doesn't know. Lately he was briefly hospitalized from a mysterious unknown source of blood poisoning, but Doctors say that as mysteriously as the taint in his blood stream came, it left.

Top Three Powers:
Knowledge
Felines
. . . and maybe Magic.

(optional)
War
(Put up to three powers you think would fit the character well)
Bottom Three Powers: (optional) (Put up to three powers you think wouldn't fit the character at all)

Secondary character (I would only like to play only one personally though)

The OOC is posted. Much of it is taken directly from the iCheck, so you should already know what it says. I ask that you post your characters there if it isn't too much trouble. Easier to go through one thread when I'm judging characters than two.
