It is 2015, six months after the Civil War that threatened to tear down the world's largest democratic nation. The division between Unnaturals (those with powers, they prefer 'Empowered' though)) and normal humans has become public knowledge; no longer can the government kidnap and hide children who show signs of powers in designated facilities. With escapees lashing out at the army attempting a coup in revenge for their captivity their existence was broadcast to the entire world and suddenly the urban myths of children with powers no longer seemed so far-fetched.

The backlash against Unnaturals, labelled as diseased and ordered to surrender to security forces immediately, was tremendous and forced many into hiding. The criminal underbelly of the US is now dominated by the Unnaturals who have split into various gangs. Some seek to tear down the government and replace it with one more interested in equality, others aim to destroy all normal humans whom they see as weak and primitive while still others simply use their powers to amass fortunes.

Those who turned themselves into the government were given the choice of being imprisoned or serving as whatever security forces were needed with relentless indoctrination methods turning them into zealots against their own kind.

You are an escapee, or one who was lucky enough not to be noticed by the government before the Civil War broke out, and have heard of a small group of fellow Empowered who are also on the run. Your aim is to find them, somehow, and survive.



Rules

Not too many.
1. I just ask that this be kept clean. I understand that relationships do form but if it gets too graphic, take it to the PM's.
2. No fighting in the OOC. If you have a bone to pick, take that to the PM's as well.
3. If you want to kill any characters or attack any characters, please let either one of the GM's know, as well as the person that is going to be killed/attack. Nothing will ha[en without consent.

I think that's pretty much it. Like i said, not too many rules, but we do reserve the right to add any. I hope y'all enjoy!

The GM's are Lillium , Jinxer , Gonzo , and myself. Any one of us can approve or deny CS's.

Are the powers in this RP more science-based or are magical ones present too?

Either or. My character is a telekinetic which is kind of in the mix of magical and science based, in my opinion. But there have been ones in the previous RP's we had that had the power to do godknows what with electronics (it's been a while im sorry i cant recall), and then we had more traditional powers such as those who manipulate fire, can fly, shapshift, etc.

The more creative the better!

Limits? Like for what kind of powers? In that case, there are really none. At least that I can think of. The other GM's might think differently though, but it never hurts to put your idea out there or PM any one of us. When it comes to that though, I'd recommend getting in touch with either Jinxer or Gonzo.

Name: Gregor V. O'exalley.

Age: 16

Gender: Male

Appearance: Gregor is a tall man, with a top heavy look to him. His shoulders seem broad, and his arms long. His face is heart shaped, his jaw line strong. Gregor is one to walk solemnly, with a down-turned head and vacant glaze. Though this is usually only due to his mind being elsewhere. Having a thriving imagination, he often escapes to it. His hair is night black and long, down to his earlobes. He has soft blue eyes that tell stories without words, and his lashes are long. Having some sort of a strong overbite he has two large teeth that are hard to ignore. His nose is long and flat, and his eyes shaped like almonds. Gregor is not an athlete, but he can run, practice makes perfect after all.

Powers: Gregor has the beck and call of ravens. He is able to call to him, ravens and crows, which he can communicate with. Useful for distractions, eye gouging, and spying.

Skills: Gregor is a decent chef, and has picked up some survival skills along the way. When it comes to combat, Gregor is a fast mover, and fast thinker. Everything happens in a flash for him, so if he does good or bad, it's all up to luck.

Personality: Gregor is a kind soul. He enjoys laughing and usually has something snarky to say, but he never really means harm. He is the sort to stay quiet, then once he starts cracking jokes, it's like opening flood gates. Nervous in some ways, he is a careful person, sometimes being a bit too paranoid and stressing himself and others out. He doesn't deal well with stress, and often clams up during it, but is conscious of this and tries hard to combat it.

History: Gregor grew up in an average house, his relationship with his father was a little rocky, but they had their moments. Him and his mother got along well, supporting each other whenever needed. Gregor being an only child got a good amount of toys and the like when young, but his parents made sure not to spoil him. For a good while Gregor didn't really notice his powers, sure birds followed him around often, and his walk to school had a crow lining every fence-top. Once it came to surface (a little chat brought it on) Gregor's father felt he couldn't live in the same house as his mutant son. Being moved across the country to his aunts house, he lived with the single woman for nearly 10 years now. Gregor had left the house once the backlash against unnaturals rose, his aunt pleaded to hide him longer, but they both knew suspicions were high. Gregor is looking now for some allies to stay with, he has a good amount of supplies with him, and has traveled a good little ways from his aunts little house in the burbs.

Name: Sean Davis

Age: 27

Gender: Male

Appearance: Sean is a fairly average looking man, just under six feet tall with lightly tanned skin with a few tattoo's marking either arm. Dark brown eyes, somewhat sunken and perpetually tired looking on a lightly pock marked face. Black hair kept almost completely shaven, save for a short, flat mohawk.

Powers: Trade teleportation. Sean can teleport himself or any object he's holding with another one up to 50 feet away. The size and weight of the object and the distance determines the strain it puts on Sean.

Skills: Sean was homeless for several years and In that time he learned a great deal about survival, especially in an urban environment.

Personality: Sean is an easygoing kind of guy he enjoys a good time when he gets to know people. He usually acts like a hardass around people and tries not to let people in on his life but usually ends up opening up at some point.

Sean enjoys helping out and often does it by compulsion, even if his sense of justice is a bit skewed and tends to favor things beneficial for him. That isn't the only way he handles things but it seems to happen more often than not.

History: Sean Davis was born somewhere in the northern united states his early life was uneventful albeit a little rough, growing up in a bad neighborhood. By the time Sean was 18 he'd run away from home, this was around the time Sean had realized his power, his parents didn't take to it as kindly as he would have hoped and were ready to disown him or give him away to the government. Sean lived with a friend for about five years, once his friend found out, he ran away yet again. For the next several years, as a war raged on around him and people like him were being killed or captured or worse, he managed to avoid any serious trouble but came close more than once. Recently he'd caught wind of a group of Empowered banding together, now all he'd have to do is find them.

Pretty much anything goes. I personally prefer ones that have a science base (even if that science is woefully flimsy) but that's just my taste.

No limits to the type of power but obviously, god-modding is as always a no. The RP has built in ways to make even the godliest of powers redundant ^_^.

I like the powers so far - inventive and interesting (like the catch on yours Whisket, with the requirement of a 'trade').

Thank you! I'll definitely apply.

Name: Yolanda Grieg

Age: 24

Gender: Female

Appearance: Yolanda is average in height and slender in build with faint muscle definition. She has short hair that has been slicked back and dyed bleach blonde. Pale skinned. She has dark brown eyes, which in contrast with her skin, appear to be black. The pale skin of her back has been elaborately inked with the solid lines of a tattoo depicting a grotesque scene of demons and the Devil himself.

Powers: Yolanda has the ability of corpse manipulation. This isn't the ability of resurrection. The corpses are still corpses but are used as kind of puppets. This is inclusive of all corpses, human or animal.

Skills: Yolanda is skilled in hand-to-hand combat. She is agile. Yolanda is also quite skilled at persuasion; she falls back on this ability when physical violence is not an option.

Personality: Yolanda is a sly woman. Conniving and secretive, it's often difficult to tell what she is about to do. Despite this, however, she is loyal to those she feels are deserving. Once her loyalty has been secured, she is protective and fierce. Yolanda has a tendency to be sarcastic, dryly humorous and cynical but has the capacity to be kind and tender. Able to be extremely persuasive when need be. She has a touch of nihilism to her, due to her ability.

History: Yolanda Grieg was born in South Africa and as such has a South African accent. She lived with her parents and younger sister in a mundane kind of happiness in South Africa for fifteen years until her father was offered an overseas job that promised prosperity for her family. Her father accepted and they were moved to the US. The mundane happiness returned until Yolanda's power was discovered through the death of a small animal that she had tried to help. Her parents kept her secret for as long as they could. Refusing to turn herself in, Yolanda said goodbye to her family and her mundane happiness and fled.

The character list is up! I've also done my CS. It contains some of the history of the House of Powers.. I'm pretty sure once Jinx and the rest put theirs up, y'all will be able to see how the HoP and the World of Powers was. And like I said before, I'll continue adding to the list as soon as more come in and are up to date.

If you would like anything to be updated to your CS, please PM me so that I may add it to the CS on the list!

Decisions, decisions haha. Either power would be cool. I've never heard of paper manipulation though. That would be interesting to see!!
