Everyone has heard a teacher or parent or some other authority figure mention that everyone has a unique talent. Typical self-esteem boosting pep talk, right? After all, you are... well, were an average individual. Maybe you had some talent in art or sports or something, but nothing that would bring national attention or anything like that. But, about two years ago, right at the end of junior year, something… changed. That’s the only way you can explain it. All of a sudden you were able to do things that shouldn’t be possible, things that defy the laws of physics as we know them. At first, you were thrilled. Who wouldn’t love to have a superpower of some kind? But then the doubt set in. What would your friends and family think if they knew that you were some kind of comic book character? Worse still, what would happen if someone important found it? Surely the government wouldn’t let the potential of a superpowered army go to waste, at least not if what you had heard and/or read about before was to be believed. No, it needed to be a secret.

So, you finished out your senior year. There were probably a couple of close calls, but nothing you weren’t able to dismiss with a couple of well-spoken lies. Of course, it sucked lying to your friends and family, but the secret needed to be kept secret. It was far too dangerous to throw things like that out into the public. Regardless, you had done all of the usual things during your senior year: completing graduation requirements, taking exams, applying to colleges, etc. And by the time graduation rolled around, you had been accepted into Stonewald University, one of your top choices. Once you were away from the place where you had probably spent most of your life, you figured that it would be pretty smooth sailing. New friends could be made that would be used to eccentricities that keeping a secret caused oneself to have, or you could avoid people altogether and keep the secret safe that way. Either way, it is, looking pretty good so far. Who knows, maybe you’ll even be able to get a job or join a sport. It’s a new life, so you might as well make the best of the four years before you have to do it again, right?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As you may be able to tell, this roleplay will focus on interactions between characters all trying to keep their powers a secret for as long as possible rather than stopping an intergalactic threat or some such. :3 All of our characters will have some sort of superpower and coincidentally end up attending the same university after high school, though individuals may or may not have attended the same high school. Regardless, no one but your character is aware of their abilities at the beginning of the roleplay. Unfortunately, there are some basic rules that I feel should be laid out, though I don't think that they'll come up all that often. ;)

Rules
1. No Godmodding, Powerplaying, or Metagaming.
2. Be courteous to one another.
3. Any and all problems should be discussed with me, preferably through pm's.
4. Keep it PG-13. Romance and violence is fine, just don't go too far.
5. Be sure to read each others' posts so that you don't miss something.
6. If you are inactive for a week without giving prior notice, your character will be marked as inactive. From then, you have a week to post in any of the threads or pm me until the character is removed from the roleplay and you will have to reapply if you want to continue.

If anyone's wondering, Kaitlin is Vita's character. ^^;

...Oh wow, first character posted? That's new for me. XD

• Appearance: Picture! "Amazon" would be the best way to describe Claire, due to not only her height (she's about 6'1"), but her well-toned and atheletic body. Her eyes are grey and, due to a secondary mutation that provides no additional superpowers, her hair is snow white. She has a rather daring fashion sense and prefers to wear clothes that show off her body, like hotpants and midriff-baring shirts.

• Name: Claire Branstead
• Age: 18
• Gender: Female
• Power(s): The ability to psychically manipulate string.
• Limits/Weaknesses: Claire's powers are limited to a 20 meter radius around her. In addition, they are held back rather a lot by her not realising just how much potential her power really has.
• Equipment: Weights, various lengths of string, MP3 player containing a rotating selection of various classic rock and metal songs, her smartphone and bags of homemade candied orange peel.

• Personality: Boisterous, funloving and very friendly, Claire tries her best to act like a big sister to others, hoping that her confidence will rub off onto them. She wears her heart on her sleeve and is very protective of those she cares about, although she's not a fan of violence and will only resort to it if there's no other option. Claire can be a bit of a tease, though, especially to her best friends. As can probably be surmised from her phsyique, Claire does a lot of gym training; she wants to keep her body in perfect shape, just in case. Aside from that, her other big love in life is classic rock and metal music, and she has a weakness for candied orange peel.

• History: Claire's life hasn't really been that eventful, honestly. She grew up with a loving family and did pretty well in school, although her best subject was always PE. Even when her powers started to emerge, she didn't think much of it. After all, it's not like it was anything big. It was just string. Surely that wasn't some world shattering superpower, right? Still, she kept it hidden from her family and friends, worried that they might think she was some kind of freak if they knew. Even her best friend Kaitlin was kept out of the loop, and the two of them seemed to grow slightly apart from each other as they reached the end of highschool. But now that they've both been accepted into the same university, it'll be a chance to fill that void somehow, right?

I might be able to get mine up before I go back into work, but I've got some other stuff to take care of.
So if not before work, then afterwards.

Appearance:

Name: Sean Davis

Age: 20

Gender: Male

Power(s): Self-replication

Limits/Weaknesses: Self-replicating takes a bit out of Sean, he's gotten used to having three or four at a time with little trouble but the higher the number the more it takes out of him, the most he can have at one time is ten and even that's pushing it, as he is likely to pass out from the strain.

Equipment: A backpack with standard school supplies, an old Mp3 player and headphones, an equally dated cell phone and a pack of cigarettes and a pen-knife.
An old beat-up white Jeep covered in various band stickers and the like.

Personality: Sean is a very in-your-face person, not shy in the least, and can be very blunt, having mingled with the wrong crowd at a young age has given him a very tough-guy attitude towards everyone. When he makes friends is when he's most likely to open up, he's very secretive otherwise, and will usually reply monosyllabically, tough on the outside but just a troubled soul deep-down. An despite his outward appearance and his attitude he's very intelligent, and constantly feels like he needs to prove that to people. Always wears band shirts, and the occasional shirt with some pseudo-philosophical phrase, and usually black jeans/shorts with white shoes more often than not.

History: Sean came from a poor family from parents that didn't care about him, despite this Sean excelled in school, but that didn't change anything. When high school came around he'd been hanging out with a group of kids who would tag walls, drink, fight, smoke and just cause trouble, because of this, Sean's grades dropped from ditching school and just not paying attention, but then out of nowhere he gained the strange ability to split himself in two, at first he could only make one other one, and for a while that was enough, he was able to be in two places at once more or less, it took some concentration, and it paid of, due to that he became the valedictorian of his high school, much to everyone's surprise, his valedictory consisted of "Do whatever you want even if you're in the streets, as long as you're happy." Then he left.
He considered driving off after that, but deep down he felt he still had to prove how smart he was to his parents, he was later accepted to Stalwart university, no one else knows about his powers, he's been very careful but this whole college thing will be a breeze when he can go to all his classes at once.

@All: I can't believe that I forgot to include limits and weaknesses in the skeleton in a roleplay about superheroes, but I did. So, if you could include those, that would be great! :D Sorry about that.

Hey in the second post there is a column that says "Reserved Powers" does that mean we can't choose anything in that category?

Also and I'm really not trying to sound condicenting but I know that's how it's going to come off but isn't have Tactile Telekinesis, Healing Factor, and Adoptive Muscle Memory kind of overkill?

Could I get an opinion, if I post a character should they have the ability to pass through matter or have eagle's wings?
