All we ever wanted was to live in peace. All we ever wanted was to be left alone. Can't you see we're no different than you? But you scorn us, beat us, burn our houses to the ground and the very worst of you enslave us. It can't last forever, you have to know that. We're stronger than you, we have power that you can't even dream of. But you have control of everything else. You can't treat us this way forever, we will rise up one day... but for now all we can do is run. Run from the World.

This RP will center around a group of teen to early adult members who were taken prisoner by a corporation intent on either using there powers for their own ends or selling the meta-humans to the highest bidder. An explosion in the meta human prison leads to a break in the security grid from which a large group of the imprisoned meta humans escape. No one among the escapees has any information about the cause of the explosion. The prison is colloquially referred to as The Center.

Our cast is comprised of an ensemble. This means that it will be as sizable as we have interest and that each character is no more important than the rest and I am fully capable of killing off a member of the group should they chose to disregard this. That said as long as you all get along you are welcome here. If the group gets too large I may decide to separate cast members into two groups that may well have limited contact with one another.


1. Basic RP rules are in effect, so follow them.
2. This RP is casual, I'll try not to get on your case about it but at least one or two paragraphs is expected and more is encouraged. Spelling and grammar should be correct but I'll try not to mention it unless desperately needed.
3. I don't want to see anyone fighting in the OOC. We're here to have fun, not bite each others heads off.
4. If you are going to be absent for an extended period of time let us know. I'll be as lenient as I can but at some point your absence will begin to weigh down other characters. I don't want you to come back and find we've killed off your character cause we thought you'd quite.
5. If anyone wants to be Co-GM, just ask. I'll give the position to someone (or two) who I think can handle it.
7. This may be redundant but please place a header that the beginning of your post that has the name of the character you play and there present location, more or less. This may be unnecessary with a small cast if we get too many interested parties it will make it much easier to locate and assess the status of characters. I'm not going to enforce this but I would appreciate it if it was followed.
8. As a rule no two people should be using the same power, similar abilities (such as telekinesis and tactile telekinesis) could be allowed if there is a significant difference or duplicate powers may be permitted on a case by case basis depending on circumstance.
9. Do try to curb your powers as best you can, I know we're dealing with meta humans but no one likes a god moder. All abilities have weakness so don't forget yours.
10. Most importantly, have fun. Failure to follow this rule will not be tolerated. TO THE DUNGEON WITH YOU!
11. Please bear in mind guys that I'm not an experience GM. I'll try to keep the RP running as smooth as I can but if I start breaking some of my own behavioral rules or if you feel like you want to leave because of my personality please tell me. I'm never trying to be a jerk but I sometimes come off in that light just cause of the way I approach certain things.

Woo, OOC is up! Everyone, you know what to do!

Well crud. I don't know how it happened, but someone has already taken the power that I had chosen. I thought I had a corner on Kinetic Energy Absorption. It's not a common power, and I didn't expect anyone else to think of it at all, much less before me. As I have no back up plan, and had already built my character around that idea, I think I may have to withdraw my interest. Cudos to the imagination of whoever thought of it first though. You think outside the box, and I respect that, even if it leaves me without a character.

On second thought, I suppose I can come up with something else, but I'll have to start from scratch. It's not ideal, but I want to see how someone else is able to use my power in this RP. (I know, I know, I don't OWN that power, but I really didn't think anyone else would ever think of it.) So, on that note, I'll likely post something later, when I have the time to come up with something new.

@KaelRavenheart If you've already written the CS for your kinetic energy character I'll take a look at it. Depending on circumstance I may allow one or two duplication powers.

I just don't want to allow it as a rule cause I generally end up with a really lot of telekinetics, telepaths and whatever ability was used prominently in the latest marvel movie.

Could everyone put there CS in hiders on the character tab? It makes it easier to navigate once we get a larger number of CSs in place.

Nah, I pride myself on being original. I wouldn't want to use the same power as someone else. Thanks for being willing to let me though. You're pretty cool.

This is interesting! Is there still a spot for this one? :o

@Undine Everything looks pretty good with one amendment. Psychometry is the ability to see the history of objects (simplified version anyways) so I think touching a person she would be able to see there history but not the mental processes involved. Like if she touched someone she could know yesterday he went to the drug store and stole a chocolate bar but not that he was thinking of running away from home. If that makes any sense.

Basing this mostly on Sylar's display of the power on Heroes but also because your current version would sort of invalidate anyone who wanted to play a telepath even if the powers are fairly different.

I think I'll wait till the IC starts to chose a Co-GM but I'll keep that in mind.

@NarayanK At the moment most definitely.

I'm basing psychometry off the abilities used by Shiho Sannomiya in the anime Zettai Karen Children. Of course, it's considered a 'higher level power' to be able to read thought processes. I'm willing to change that, I just want you to see where it's coming from.

Not a big anime fan but I see where your coming from, still I think it would be a good idea to change it. After all knowledge is power and that level of mind reading is really powerful.

Here's Manuel Lukamba, the masochist.

Is there still a spot in this roleplay? Seems like a fun roleplay to join in :)

Right now that I am here, CS time!

I understand, is it okay to directly post it to the characters tab once I omit that part?

Yes.

Here's Manuel Lukamba, the masochist.

Hider [+]

Name: Manuel Lukamba

Age: 23

Power: Regenerative Healing Factor.
Pros - He's a very, very hard man to kill.
Cons - It fucking hurts. He is incapacitated for the duration of his regeneration following severe injuries.

Nationality: Angolan

Bio: Manuel lived in the slums of Luanda. A sea of huts was huddled together under sky-scrapers and mansions, all courtesy of the country's oil boom. The city drew the rich and the powerful sucking their wealth from black gold, and with strange men from distant lands came strange tastes. The underground ring was a popular hangout for anyone with the money to enjoy real blood sports. The poor of the city were kidnapped from the street and thrown in the pit in a fight to the death, for the entertainment of the obscenely rich.

Manuel was unfortunate enough to have been kidnapped as a teenager and forced to fight in the blood sport. He was abandoned by his mother at an early age and lived off begging and trash until he found he had a gift - a power so magnificent he soon became the only attraction in the underground ring of Luanda. He was constantly pitted against savage animals from the jungles inland, human waste from the city and trained killers. It continued for years, until his existence was known by those who desired the freak even more, and he was kidnapped yet again - this time to the center.

Personality: Manuel is a jaded cynic and masochist with an inferiority complex. His personality is strongly anti-authority, violent, proactive and unstable. He's prone to addiction (He's a smoker and an alcoholic), very direct and confrontational. To put it in other words, he's a self-destructive and violent loose cannon.

Other: Manuel's favorite food is bananas, he can't read and he gets these nervous ticks whenever he heads AC/DC.

Could you give me a little more detail on his powers? Of course I understand what it is but what are it's limits? Could he grow a new limb if his arm was cut off? If he jumped off a building would he have to push his ribs back into place before he started healing? In the series Heroes Clair Bennet's had Healing abilities. She was impaled in the head once and remained dead until the spike was removed. Also can he revive from the dead? That sort of thing.

Is there still a spot in this roleplay? Seems like a fun roleplay to join in :)

Yes.

@Prince of Seraphs Bulls-eye! I based his powers off Clair Bennet's from Heroes. I don't want to make him over-powered, so you have the final say in any extreme scenarios. Should I make any further clarifications for future reference?

Name: Sam King
Age: 16
Power:
Gravity Manipulation: Sam has the power to manipulate forces of gravity and that grants several abilities. The first thing he can do with his power is increase or decrease the weight of an object. The second thing he can do is change the direction and flow of gravity, for example he can alter the direction of an object's gravity and either pull it or push it towards him. This ability can allow him to create a barrier of repelling gravity for defense against physical and projectile attacks, he can also use this power to fly although it is harder to control his flight. Sam's third capability is that he can create gravitational attacks, such as shooting out a ball of concentrated gravity to hit his enemies with a great amount of concussive force or fire off blasts of gravitational force to knock away or even crush opponents.

Despite the power and versatility of the ability, Sam does have several weaknesses. His powers are mentally controlled and if something moves faster than he can react then his powers won't stop it. Energy based attacks and objects can't be effected by his gravity. His powers if used too much will cause a massive strain on his body and using his gravity powers to create blasts and projectile attacks will tax his body more than other abilities. Thanks to his age his experience with his abilities are not very refined and he can't use them to their full capability. It is difficult for Sam to manipulate the gravity of multiple objects especially if his trying to apply different effects to them.

Nationality: Southern American
Bio: He was born in New Orleans Louisiana and from a very young age Sam had an interest in playing football. When he was nine his parents signed him up for a little league team and his coaches were impressed by his talent at the sport. As he got older his skills improved and he could play good multiple positions such Running Back, TE, Offensive Lineman and was a good QB. Many said he had a bright future in the sport ahead of him and it became his dream to one day become a professional NFL player.

His life however would take a different turn when his powers manifested while playing a game in his Sophomore year of high school. He was playing running back and as he charged the other team's oncoming defense he felt a strange power surge within him. His gravity powers activated and he felt himself become heavier. With his extra weight his inertia allowed him to play through the defense and score a game winning touchdown. Sam's team was overjoyed with him winning the game and he was too, but the sudden awakening of his powers made him wonder what it all meant.

After a short while he discovered more of his capabilities and realized that he could control gravity. Sam tried to keep his powers a secret, but he was eventually caught by the corporation and sent to The Center. Once there he made sure to lay down the laws of the jungle and made sure that people knew that he wasn't to be messed with

Personality: Sam is very traditional and has a love for football since he is player for his high school team. Sam considers himself an authoritarian and is a firm believe in the rule of law and divine authority. He has saying that he sometimes likes to quote to others "The only above the laws of the land is God's law." He is a devout catholic and always believes that his abilities are a sign from God that he had a higher purpose.

His time in the metahuman prison made him hate the fiends who sold other off into something like slavery and he always had a desire to take down the organization for his imprisonment. He has a don't screw with me kind of attitude and will try to kick the ass of anyone who crosses him.

Appearance: Sam is five feet and ten inches tall. He wears a black trench coat and white short-sleeved shirt and cargo pants. He finally wears black shoes that are good for running. His hair is bright red and his face while young looks tough and his eyes are a fierce blue.
Other: (anything that doesn't fit into the other groups)

I'm a little bit wary of someone having that type of power. Could you give me some more information? Specifically about weaknesses and limitations cause I really don't want to end up RPing with this guy:
