You were born with a terrible genetic heart disorder. Your poor, tiny little heart could barely manage each and every beat, but you survived. By means of technology, medicine, and a little bit of courageous will you managed to make it into your early teens before everything started to go down hill again. Your heart wouldn't make it any longer. The doctors gave you maybe a year, if you were lucky. There wasn't any hope for you, it seemed. Your family was drowning in hospital bills and you spent everyday of your youth looking out a simple window into an always populated parking lot with the smell of antiseptic filling your nose.
All hope seemed lost.
You may have lost all hope too, during those times in that cool hospital room. There wasn't any method to cure or treat such a debilitating, destructive disease. You were fortunate to have lived as long as you had, really.
However, one day, you were offered an impossible chance.
A company titled Acceleron was offering a treatment for your incurable disease. They were offering something as outrageous as a complete heart transplant with a completely artificial heart that would not only act as well as the former heart, but it would cure every trace of the genetic disease. They were offering this experimental procedure for free and even offered to cover all your outstanding bills and offer a payment for enlisting into the service. 200,000 USD for every year the enlisted donee is alive.
It was a win-win.
The chances were you'd survive, have your family's debt paid off, and you'd receive a nice payment afterwards. If you died during operation then you were simply dying a few months earlier than you were projected too.
Naturally, you took this option.
Little did you know that Acceleron had different motivations in store.
You survived and, just like they said, you felt amazing. You felt strong and alert and were able to do things that you'd never been able to do before. You could run and jump and even freely travel around your home without having to worry about an attack or losing consciousness. You were free for the first time in your life...Only, that's what you thought.
As the years went by, you started to realize things about yourself.
You were stronger than normal sometimes. Sometimes you were a little too fast or a little too strong and, most importantly, you never became winded. No matter how you forced your lungs to demand air you never were breathless and, no matter how fast you ran, you were always able to almost instantly recover. Another large thing was your interaction with electricity. Through the years, you realized that you would sometimes zap someone or you would cause an electrical instrument to malfunction. There were weird occurrences where sometimes a device would become alert as you focused on it or you would become notably warmer, by a few degrees, as your emotions fluctuated. You also noticed that you would, rarely, see men in all black and trench coats would be watching you. They were always around when one of these strange occurrences would transpire...Making the situation all the more unusual.
As you grew older, you realized you could control these strange occurrences.
Some of you could fire a bolt of electricity out of your hands, roasting a target.
Others could supercharge their bodies, sending commanding instructions to their muscles, to vastly increase their strength, speed, or defensive capabilities.
There were a few that could command electronic devices to do as they say.
You hold a power. It started slowly, developing as you did, and now its just barely graspable. You aren't human. You are more than human. You hold the power to command electricity to perform incredible, supernatural abilities. Some can fly, others manipulate magnets, a few hyper accelerate matter, others were able to charge things...The capabilities are as diverse as people are different. What does it mean? Was it on purpose or accident? How will you use this growing power? Who are the Black Coats? Does Acceleron know about this?
That's for you to find out as you embark on this journey.
Sci-Fi style Rp. Set in the not-too-far-off 2120. Technology is advanced and space travel is possible, however there are no aliens.
Character would have one unique power and it would be developed through the Rp.
Looking for somewhere around 5-10 players maybe?
The details of the setting will be broken down in more detail in the OOC. This is just the (as simple as I can make it) Interest. I'll go into detail about the world, government, Acceleron, public knowledge of the Heart Donors, and the level of Technology.
Advanced Level
Anyone interested?
