I was a part of another RP with this same title and I rather enjoyed it! Unfortunately after about 1.5-2 years it died. I would love to re-start it!

Please Ignore the post count, we are always accepting people/characters

The basic story line is that a meteor has landed in France. It was large enough to do a lot of damage and claim many lives. Due to the dirt in the air and the shock of such a large object making it through the atmosphere many surrounding countries suffered long after the meteor strike. The earth began to settle a bit and the governments argued as to what should be done. The world was on the brink of another world war despite the tragedies that had already occurred. Then, people in the neighboring countries began to drop like flies. accidents were everywhere because of people spontaneously dying. The human race just couldn't catch a break. Despite their bickering, the governments began to pay attention to the anomalies in the countries surrounding France. As it turns out, by the many governments investigating, the meteor was radioactive. The governments were on high alert, quarantining everything. That is when they discovered that a few had survived, and developed. Adults and children alike, spread far and few between had been genetically changed. Some were partial to elements, others had gained likenesses of animals. All became known as 'Subjects'. The governments fought ravenously over these human resources of power, these broken 'heroes'.
This is where you come in. As one of the Subjects you are on the run from the governments, trying to get away and not be experimented on, not to be driven mad. You can also be working with the governments as a specialized team for hunting, capturing and torturing your own kind. Some say you are mad yourself. Each subject, with the government or not as long as they are known to the government, are given a Greek letter as a name. Something easy to refer to.
To add a little more taste and in an odd twist of fate. Subjects are beginning to gather. Mainly to hide from the governments but some want to unite the nations in rebuilding the world. Ironically, their choice in doing so is the only way for the countries of the world not to fall into World War 3.
Side Note: All specials have telepathy with one another. It's all the same language when they speak with their minds too.

Example
Name: Alice Freond
Age: 16
Country of Origin: Canada
Power(s): Plants! She can grow seeds and have the flourish in almost any situation. She also has the ability to talk to them, and them to her. She can make them grow past their original size or stunt their growth. She can revert their growth completely. Through mosses and fungi she can locate other people/animals but not accurately hear what they say (like playing broken telephone).
Greek Name: Lamda
Side: On the Run
Appearance:
Short blonde hair cut in a feathered bob with green tips. Ivory skin with big aqua eyes. She has a petite and delicate frame which she covers with somewhat large clothing. She wears an orange tank top and military looking jacket. She is always wearing cargo pants and her messenger bag.
Personality: Bubbly and bright. There is almost never a time when she isn't smiling ... etc.
History: She grew up in Canada as the 2nd youngest of 4. She had a very loving and caring family and lived on the eastern coast. When the meteor hit her family suffered the bad weather but survived. She however seemed to change. It wasn't long before her parents noticed her sudden increased interest in plants and she discovered soon after that it wasn't just a liking but a power. Her parents lovingly gave her what they could so she could go on the run and helped her move from Canada. She moved to a tourist attraction on Cape Verde. She worked on a resort as a landscaper and gardener. it was good work for someone who can talk to plants. She has not been found out since leaving her home.
Other: She suffers from phytomania (the obsession of collecting plants). Her bag contains mostly plant information she has yet to memorize and all her pockets are filled with seeds.

I will be posting every other day approximately.

Name: Irene Issac
Age: 10
Country of Origin: The USA
Power: Magic - She has the ability to, using her personal energy which varies based off of rest, food, and emotional state, actually cast magic. She has to speak or make a gesture or both to cast the spells. She has to be able to see whatever she's using the spell on if there's a target for it.
Greek Name: Iota
Side: Government
Appearance
Personality: "Well... umm... I'm kind of shy at first, but um once I get to know you I'm a real chatter box. Well... At least I'm told that. I love to ask questions! I think the Boss Guy's a great man and I'll do whatever he tells me to. I don't know why anyone would run away from him. I want to bring them back to where it's nice and safe and the nice people here can help them with whatever they need. Just like they do with me."
History: "Um... Mom got into a card accident when I was young so I don't remember her, Daddy said she was pretty though and that I have her eyes. Daddy worked really hard and did his best to take care of me. I went to school like any good girl does and learned lots of nice things. I-I was told by the principal though that... Daddy had an accident just like Mom and I wouldn't be seeing him ever again. I was really sad for a long time. I even stopped going to school.

"Not long after some super cool and useful magic came into my life. Some nice people came and said they'd take care of me and they have! I really like it here, but it seems like some people really hated it and ran away. I really want them to come back and Mr. Boss Man told me I can help. I really want to be useful and help those poor people come back home."

I'm having entirely too much fun with this. <3
|Name: Aria
|Age: 19
|Country of Origin: Italy
|Power(s): Dimensional Awareness: Aria's mind is attuned to the electromagnetic spectrum of an alternate dimension (specifically this one). She's been driven mad {I am not mad!} (in everyone else's eyes) by sights of gray rectangles and white text detailing her life and those around her.
|Greek Name: Upsilon
|Appearance: Brown hair, frizzy, curly, and everywhere. 5'4". One green eye, one blue. Often with a far-off, wild-eyed look about her face. Scrawny, like she never eats. {I do too eat!} Dressed in clothing from at least three different styles and decades, little of which matches. She stands out, to say the least.
|Personality: How do I describe Aria? She's funny, sometimes, and poignant at other times. But most of all, she tends to remind me of a lost puppy. {Don't build me up too much, hey?} Honestly! She'll bug me about the most random things sometimes, like going on and on about goggles. {That was one time, thankyouverymuch.} I think maybe Aria's just lonely.
|History: To be honest, she's forgotten much of it, and her superpower's not been much help. {Really‽ That's it‽ Real helpful, thanks.} She's tried to reason with whatever intelligences (or even to determine if there are intelligences) are on the "other side" quite a few times, with mixed results. {Hello?} The first time she witnessed the vision, in fact, she learned little about her past, and then shortly afterward made contact. Erm, hello, by the way. {Holy crap, it worked! That's super freaky, hey? Are you, like, me in a different world?} But the brief contact then ended. {What? No it didn't.}

{Hel-looo?}

{Damnit.}

Just so everyone knows that while all the specials can speak telepathically to others my character will never hear these telepathic communications because that is a form of power and he negates them all including telepathy.

His powers are passive, they are active at all times like The Wolverine's healing abilities.

Name: Zackie
Age: 14
Country of Origin: Southern USA (Yes, he has the accent too)
Power: Sight: He has heat vision, night vision, microscope, and binoculars all built into his eyes. (Not the mechanisms, the actual ability) Not only that, but he can see as if he was somewhere else, which is helpful for recon missions. While he is doing it, however, he does not see with his real eyes, and may need protecting.
Greek Name: Zeta
Side: On the run.
Appearance: Shorter than an average 14 year old, and somewhat slim. He has gold-blonde hair that reaches his ears, deep blue eyes, and a few freckles scattered across his noes. He wears tennis shoes, blue shorts, and a green t-shirt most of the time.
Personality: Almost always focused on the task at hand, so much that he sometimes forgets about everything else. When he doesn't have anything to do, he gets nervous and wiggles around or paces the floor. He always tries his hardest at everything, not really paying attention to the fact that he isn't invincible.
History: Zackie doesn't remember much of his past, seeing as the meteorite that landed kind of caused him to get knocked unconscious and lose his memory.
He grew up in a small town in southern USA. He lived on a farm with his father, mother, sister, sister, brother, and sister. He lead a relatively normal life. The reason he was in France was his family was going on a vacation, which was quite a rare event for them. They were staying in Paris, but would often get in the car and go see other places. They were in the car at the time of the meteor strike. Of Zackie's entire family, he was the only survivor. Of course, it didn't hurt as bad as it would hurt most people, because he couldn't remember them very well at all.
Other: He is agile, fast, and has quick reflexes.

Name: Jason Evander
Age: 21
Country of Origin: Canada
Power(s): Bio-Manipulation. Jason is able to manipulate his own or others nervous systems to cause physical effects. This is much easier with eye contact. These effects can range from making someone blind, mute, or even paralyzed, but can also make others able to resist extreme cold, heat and even not feel pain. Although with the last one any damage dealt will still be done, they just won't feel it until the effect wears off. He can also cause these effects to himself.
Greek Name: Delta
Side: Pretty neutral, the government hasn't done anything to earn his distrust, yet anyways
Appearance:

Personality: Calm, Kind, Always willing to help out someone he thinks needs it
History: Jason had always lived a very privileged life, his family was very wealthy and as a result most of his childhood was different from other children. At least it would have been if he didn't insist on going to public school with all the other normal children. His two siblings loved the high life, but Jason didn't really want it. He was much more humble than his siblings, they always wanted more, he was happy with what he had. That made it that much more worse when he somehow ended up with his powers. It started with people seeming nervous when he looked at them a certain way to slowly learning to control what he had. This was close to the end of his high school life. He wasn't sure he wanted to go to school, he was definitely smart enough and his family had enough money. He just didn't feel it was the right thing for him. He decided to use his wealth to his advantage for once in his life and traveled around the world. He was always interested in geography and had a lot of places he wanted to go. He also figured not staying in one place would make it harder for the government to track him if they wanted him for anything.

Name: Aksel Fiske

Age: 15

Country of Origin: Norway

Power(s): The ability to contort his body into weaponry and the like. Some examples would be like elongating his fingers and nails to make his hands into claws, changing his teeth to razor sharp needles, adding spikes and blades to his arms by manipulation his bones, or even fusing the skin between his arms and sides to make flaps for gliding. The process is mostly painless if given a brief moment to concentrate on it but if in a jam he can force the change despite the pain. He can, of course simply use his powers to change his appearance. He can even make his hair grow and retract, all he can't do is change the colour of it or of his eyes. Also his bones are far harder and denser then the average bone to stop them from shattering with the stunts he does with them.

Greek Name: Gamma

Side: On The Run

Appearance:



Personality: Highly energetic. Often times happy. He has difficulty calming down but he can throw his energy into his attacks with all he's got. Generally nice but not caring in what others feel of him unless they are close. Often puts the well being of others over his own.

History: Aksel led a fairly normal life as a child. He didn't have too many friends but he had a few good ones so he was happy. His dad had left while Aksel was fairly young but it didn’t faze him too much, he was never there too much for him anyways.

He first discovered his powers in middle school at around age 12. He has no idea how it really happened but his arm started to deform and a large spike pierced his skin and appeared on his arm. It was painful and terrifying so he closed his eyes and and the fear of it subconsciously returned his arm to its normal state. He didn’t try to investigate it for a while before curiosity final bested him and he concentrated on making it happen again. It took him a while but eventually he was able to replicate the results and less painfully. He kept practicing and toying around until he realized he could change his body in many different ways and the more he practiced the less painful he could make it.
After a few years of playing around with it he found he had made it to a fairly decent level of skill but he was never able to really put it to the test against anything but trees in the woods.

Somewhere along the line his mom became diagnosed with cancer but it was already at a late stage. There was little that could be done to help her, she was bed ridden with a month or two to live. One day after a visit to his mother he was walking home when he became the victim of a mugging. Already not in the best of moods he did not hesitate to test out his skills. He took a moment to change his hand into a claw and slashed at his assaulter’s stomach. Of course the crook was not expecting this of all things and it hit, leaving him with a bleeding gash in his stomach. Aksel quickly returned his hand to normal size but it seemed that he had caught the attention of a young adult who he found was named Sven. They shared the fact that they both had these superhuman abilities. After a brief wait in town for his mother to pass on, Aksel began tagging along with Sven. He had seen in the news how the government was tracking down people like them but with his mother he couldn’t just leave, but going with Sven seemed to be logical for safety and maybe a little fun. After a while they became unlikely friends and continued their travels together on the run.

Sven Nielssen


Age: 22

Country of Origin: Finland

Power(s):

- Limb Extension: Sven has the ability to stretch his limbs independently from his own body like an elastic rubber band. The lengths they can be extended allows Sven to grab objects at a distance, travel from place to place, or strike enemies from a far away standing point.

- Enhanced Swordsmanship: Sven posses the great skill and proficiency of all bladed weapons. He is very confident in his ability and can block other things like bullet fire, and slice endless inches of wood or concrete in half with a single blow.

Greek Name: Phi

Side: Sven is currently enjoying the thrill from the chase of the government that seeks to experiment on him.

Personality: Sven is a cold and dark figure. He could care less about the well being of everyone else, or what they think about him. He doesn't donate or help out any other cause unless he feels he needs to, or there's something in it for him. The governments been pissing him off for a long time, but what they've done now has pushed him over the edge. He'll pull off anything head on without a single worry in his mind, and still come out looking good because he disregarded death to do what he wants. He could care less if he lives or dies. Al though calm most of the time, he can't stand people who stand in his way. His emotions are a lot more faded than others, and don't show very often at all.

History: Just how he expected it. The world was bound to come to an end at some point with all the other disasters beginning to happen around Europe and North America. Governments were crashing, and the crime rate was rising in the small town that Sven grew up in. He knew something would happen at one point, the humans would never out live dinosaurs. It seemed like a good life he had anyway. An average college life he had while he was younger trying to finish up his education and juggle friends with the sleep he was getting. But then it all happened. He had heard about a meteor hitting France, but he was skeptical about it. Turned out to be true. France was obliterated, and it drove the government over the edge. The population of surrounding countries were dropping lower and lower each day, and it seemed to have an effect on the mood of the people on earth. Something seemed off, but he couldn't just put his finger on it. The air...the atmosphere around him seemed a lot different than before. Some sort of toxins? He wouldn't doubt it. But it didn't matter anymore, he could care less. Sven's family had already passed away some time ago, which was a good thing that they didn't have to live through this. Finland being on the North-Eastern piece of Europe, basically diagonal and countless miles away from France had a bit of a blessing. What mutated his genetics wasn't enough to kill him, but gave him the ability to harness two more powers that would change the rest of his life. But he did not know this yet.

During these young years of his, Sven learned a few forms of martial arts, and sword techniques from classes that he went to on weekends. He still did of course. After the devastation of France, he noticed something. The first being the drop of students in his classes, but the next being that he felt a hell of a lot more powerful. While walking home from another class, debating on how to dramatically change his life, a few muggers came around to try and rob him. The criminal charged at Sven, and he immediately reacted with a bob of the head to the left side, thus dodging the almost immanent strike, and then moved back up to deliver a punch to the gut. A single blow into the criminals stomach, and Sven was shocked. His arm reached a great distance, knocking the guy about a mile back into some nearby park. It answered a few questions, but still left Sven a little startled. He thought he'd try it again on the other guy, so he send his leg out like a long strand of elastic, and kicked him in the side, sending him into the brick building beside him. The wall was imploded, and broke a lot of his bones, shattering the muscle and he was stuck for the time being. Sven didn't bother to tell anyone after that, he just kept it to himself and thought of it as a blessing.

Eventually his home town was a wreck, and all Sven wanted to do was get away. He packed all of his belongings and moved to Norway at the other side of Scandinavia. A few other friends, Sven had good contact with. Time went on and chaos spread pretty much worldwide until formations of the government and certain huntsman groups started tracking down the genetically mutated individuals for experiments and testing. Didn't make a difference to him. He'd rather die than take defeat and be captured by someone else. In Norway he met a kid by the name of Aksel. He was a lot younger than him by about 7 years or so. He seemed to be in the same situation as him, and tolerable. They started tagging along with each other, and eventually found some sort of partnership. It's now were Sven is constantly on the move and going in hiding. The manhunt gives him a high better than any other drug could ever do.

Other:

- Sven carries a single Katana on his back, and a .38 Revolver in his pocket.

- Sven can speak fluent English, Russian and Finnish.

- He's always seen wearing a Black Poncho over whatever he has underneath.

Name: Elizabeth

Age: Seven and a half

Country of Origin: England

Power(s): Hive-Mind control, Telepathy
Elizabeth’s abilities are both immediate and long-term. She sometimes plants instructions for a later date. Victims of her mind control are linked to her and each other telepathically. She’s positive there’s a limit to the number of people she can have under control at one time, but she’s yet to find it; she can feel the pressure building in her head, straining her powers with each new member of the Hive.
An alternate application of her powers is essentially mind-rape; she can either passively or actively root through someone’s mind. Passively is less effective, but harmless (other than the violation of privacy), when she actively looks about, she shreds a person’s psyche. She has yet to gain enough control to get a medium between the two.

Greek Name: Alpha

Appearance: An inch over four feet, Elizabeth is mostly unremarkable in appearance; she has black hair almost down to her feet and the pale skin that at one time would have been the sign of a noble. Blue eyes that appear distressingly guileless. The oddity of her is that she often wears Elizabethan gowns (sized for her)—a habit she had given to her by her parents. The rest of the time, she wears jeans and t-shirts or dresses.

Personality: Elizabeth is a great deal smarter than her age would suggest. Part of being in a Hive is the sharing of information. As the “queen” it’s one way if she doesn’t try to share, but it means that she learns a massive amount from each person she inducts (those subjected to long-term Hive-presence). She has no concept of morality as it normally is thought primarily because she is not yet even eight years old. She knows basics, but has trouble with controlling her impulses. She can be cold, calculating and vicious, but she can just as often simply lash out at someone who offended or hurt her. Her powers have given her a sense of arrogance and entitlement: she thinks she has the right to read peoples’ minds and order them as she likes.

History: As a girl less than eight years old, Elizabeth has little in the way of a personal history. Her ability to remember things goes back a little more than a year and a half. About the same time she found her powers, she lost her parents. She is still unsure if those two incidents are related—she woke up in London on her own and when she demanded that a man help her find her parents, he complied and she felt his mind. Her mind is suspiciously blank on memories of her origins and she suspects that she may have done something to her family that she is unconsciously trying to block out.

As of now, Elizabeth has few fingers anywhere and has not really explored her powers outside of their short-term applications. She has a “soldier” permanently under control and she rarely goes anywhere without him. Simple pragmatism means that a little girl on her own is too vulnerable to wander on her own. The first is an ex-security guard. While not able to fight military scale battles, he can and does deal with commonplace trouble.

Elizabeth also has one “drone”. A young woman who works as a secretary, earning a little money which is then funneled to Elizabeth. The woman works as a minor person in a corporation that Elizabeth has yet to bother learning the name of; as long as it keeps her fed and comfortable, she has not begun to care.

She is aware of the danger posed by her and has come across one agent looking for her. It did not end well for the agent, though his remains have yet to be found. She regrets her temper, feeling that he would have been an asset.

Other: She’s working on controlling her tendency to lash out, but she’s yet to manage it properly. She’s been considering building a larger force in her Hive and even looking for others like her to work together for her (sorry, their) own protection.

Technically it's not so much 'racist' as it is 'un-patriotic' XD

but hey, I'm american, if it's politically correct for a brown man to refer to another brown man by words that are not politically correct for a white man to use, then it is politically correct for an american to say unsavory things about his fellow americans. :D

The differentiation is indeed in 'hardcore murican', not saying 'all americans', but referring only to the ones that are known to hate all of something because some of them are evil bastards. It's not an insult to the player nor to americans as a whole, nor to any specific race :D
