Estelle Thomas was the first.
When she was two years old, a patch of skin on her throat lightened to pure white. It formed the shape of a star exactly.
By the time she was twelve, she was an internationally-renowned pop star.

No one thought anything of the star on her throat. Maybe it was a scar; maybe she was just born with it.
~✢~
Orion Faust was born with a white star on either hand.
When he was eight he played Ligeti’s first β€œimpossible” piano etude at Carnegie Hall, and played it flawlessly.
~✢~
Atlas Oritz had a white star on his ankle.
He won the 100, 200, 400, 800, and 1600 runs at the Olympics, the long-jump, high-jump, 400m hurdles, and decathlon. When he was fifteen.
~✢~
That was when people started noticing. Conspiracy theorists, religious freaks, and dark minds all looked to the Stars.
~~✢~~✢~~

That was twenty years ago. Today, there are hundreds of Star-Children and an organization devoted to uniting them and attempting to understand what it is that makes their powers function.

This organization has discovered that, when undergoing intense physiological or psychological trauma, it is possible for one’s star power to be β€œCorrupted,” wherein the mark turns black and the individual’s power increases. But it is at a cost. The only way to change the power is to basically torture the individual that has the mark; after this experience, the Corrupted Stars (as they are called) are no longer the same. They lose their hold on humanity, and on their sense of right-and-wrong. The power destroys them.

The organization continues to change Stars, being apathetic at best about the Corrupted ones going insane. The Stars have to wonder: Is there an ulterior motive?

Welcome to Our Brightest Stars! This is a plot bunny that I got this morning and decided to run with. Anyway. That’s about all I have as far as plot goes, and any suggestions are welcome. Feel free to fill out a character sheet now, or wait until I get the OOC up, which will happen probably on Monday, or sooner, depending on how much interest we get.

~~~✢~~ RULES ~~✢~~~
This is to be a high-casual roleplay. There will probably be some dark themes involved. I would ask for mature role-players. This doesn’t mean you have to be over eighteen (I would almost encourage otherwise, to be honest) it just means that a) you must be able to write coherently; and b) you must be mature, as in, not pitching fits and rage-quitting, when things don’t go your way.

Obviously, romance is going to happen. Keep it PG-13, obviously, because site rules. Heh.

At this point in time I have two co-gms: @duck55223 and @ClocktowerEchos I chose them because I've played with them before and their writing and managing styles will help to balance mine. Please, please please listen to them. It'll make it so much easier on me if people don't go to war with my co-gms.

Try not to reuse the same powers as other people. It'll be hard not to reuse locations of stars, but... you know. Originality is good.

If you read all of this admittedly short list, write Per Aspera Ad Astra in your character sheet.

~~~✢~~ CHARACTER SHEET ~~✢~~~
Name: I would like to keep the characters’ first names astronomy/astrology themed. Try using the words for star, light, brilliance, or some other similar thing in other languages. Also names of constellations and galaxies and stars are all fair game.
Gender:
Age: 7-17 please! Unless you're one of the people employed by the (name-pending) organization, then 18-35.
Nationality:
Current location in the world: Headquarters is in New York City.
Appearance: Either a description or a picture.
Location and notes on star mark: Size, number of points, that sort of thing can all go here.
Star power: It can be anything. The location of the star on your characters body always has something to do with it. You can be creative with it, though. A star over the eye might be the ability to see anything within visible range with perfect clarity; but it might also be for a photographic memory (the ability to see something and remember it) or it might be for like the ability to tell if someone is telling the truth or not. Be creative with it, and as long as there’s a semi-logical reason for it, I will generally accept it.
Corrupted or Uncorrupted: If corrupted, how long ago was their Ordeal? Generally speaking, the longer ago the Ordeal was, the less β€œsane” the person will be, but the more powerful. IMPORTANT: Being corrupt does not necessarily mean evil. It just makes them unstable. Sooner or later they will break, though.
Personality: Can be left as To Be Revealed if you don’t want to type it out.
Biography: Can be left as To Be Revealed if you don’t want to type it out.
Trivia: Likes, dislikes, phobias, that sort of thing.

So, is there any limit to the sort of powers we can have? Like, I know we can have instrument mastery, intuitive aptitude and what have you, but hypothetically, what about things like pyrokinesis? Telekinesis? Super speed?

I think that power is actually Adoptive Muscle Memory http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Adoptive_Muscle_Memory

@DocTachyon Yes, yes, and yes. It's all totally free-reign. Within reason, of course. Don't be like, running the speed of light, or whatever, or incinerating the planet with a thought. But yeah, any power is allowed.

I'm interested! I'd like to reserve the power to know where to find an answer. Granted, she won't know specifics, like how to find it, and the farther she is from the answer the more generalized the location is. For example, if she was trying to find one in a school, her power would point her to the library. If she was in the library, it would point her to a shelf. The shelf point is as specific as she can get.

This RP sounds super cool and I'm excited to play!
