A post-by-post roleplay between Caits and Dioxide, as inspired by their previous work on The Academy of Heroes and Villains

A take on the lives of super-powered beings ostracized and hunted - endowed with abilities by happenstance, yet scrutinized under a critical, doubtful eye.

This RP is an experiment altogether, with attempts of a new learnt writing Reporting-style and working under serious self-constraints. If anyone else is reading this, we hope you enjoy the read. We gladly accept feedback, if any.

Excellent. I shall get a character up shortly!

as I can play both genders easily, which do you prefer?

No kidding, it is up to you. I would just say to be mindful of the age you want to write in, because it'll probably be a big factor. I hope this plays out long enough that we actually get birhdays :)

The introduction post will be written by me, but know for now that, as I said earlier: that we are captured.

Sure thing! I was just going to post my character without age, and then decide based on yours XD but I find not too young not too old best. Anywhere between 18 and 25 is generally great!

First, how do I make you Co-GM?

Second, if you haven't decided on superpowers yet, make it... as realistic as possible, if you get what I mean? I would like to see how this goes without reaching out to Magic.

For example, something like plant control would be acceptable, but it has to be explained that perhaps in their biology there is a receptor that allows for hormonal communication with plantae. Something like that :) Nothing too extreme if you can't do it (goodness knows I can) - but I'm banking on the whole 'being observed and having experiments conducted on" to actually produce hypotheses.

Oh, I already have an idea of what to do with my guy. He lives in the shadows but he uses light. Mostly it helps him see.

I should have him up shortly, if I do not fall asleep.

Um. Go edit topic, and you should be able to press add gm

You fell asleep :p

Yup

But I've nearly got it finished. Just working on a small history

Let the character develop itself through the actual RP. Advice I learnt from fellow RPers in the past was a Long CS wasn't always good :oooo

Name: Cody O'Niel
Looks:
6 feet tall, strawberry blond hair, slightly freckling, pale blue eyes, lightly colored skin
Personality: I haven't quite decided. Let's see how he develops, shall we?
Abilities:
light manipulation: This ability is fairly basic. It is what it is, the manipulat of light. This can be in any sort of attack. Light weapons can be created, and the light can be manipulated into illusions and into enabling it's user to hide.

Cody can at the current moment manipulate light in a way that enables him to see the world, seeing figures, objects and the like by light, whether it is the presence of light or merely the absence of light.

He can also manipulate light in a way that gives him some defensive a and offensive properties, but this ability is quite new and takes a lot of of him.

Essentially, Cody is learning what he can do, but it is not in leaps and bounds.

enhanced touch: whether this is a super power or merely an effect of Cody's blindness, this is never the less useful

enhanced hearing: again, whether this is merely an effect of blindness, this is beneficial and is more then a typical blind victim.

History:
Cody was born to what could be a normal family. Well, normal for them anyway. It became apparent quite quickly that something wasn't normal with him. His eyes were a pale, pale colour, perhaps the lightest blue you would see, and sightless. But the baby didn't appear to see anything wrong, and was a bouncing, bubbly boy. Off times, people would forget he was blind.

He excelled in grades, using what aids he had to complete school work, and to do everything he could. It became apparent that despite his lack of sight, he was not hindered. He could play musical instruments with ease, he could cook, he could do just about anything that a normal boy could.

He didn't see any hinderance, and as he grew, he began to find that images began to form, light seeming to swarm around him, forming the images of what was there. He did not know if this was normal or not, but it helped him to further his life, giving him a better quality as he began to realize how much of the world he was missing.

The history itself is good. My only direction for you is to exercise a delimitation on how Cody develops. You can have all the power in the world but it is useless and dangerous if you don't have knowledge or experience with it.

I'll be out for today, but I'll be daydreaming.

Surprise, surprise: I'm making a girl! Tell you more when I get back.

Try to find a picture. It helps for us to visualize everything.

One thing though: could you elaborate on what is going on in "he began to find that images began to form, light seeming to swarm around him, forming the images of what was there.

Ah, damn. I knew I forgot to something. I'll expand when I'm home, and yes, I will find a picture, when I'm on my laptop. My phone is frustrating.

Take your time :)

No pressure: this is our RP. :)

Done!

I see, I see.

Also, David Beckham T-T

Gorgeous man

Anyway, I'll write down mine later. Afterwards, I'll write an introductory post to kick us off. I'll leave some cues for you in the OOC for you to follow. :)

It's David beckham? I just googled blond haired man XD

@Caits If you won't mind, could you post your character in the Character Tab? Mind also to fix some of the grammar. I see you haven't finished typing out 'manipulation' - "manipulat"

How much of your RP is on the phone? :o

@Dioxide

A fair bit. Normally I'm better. I've just been so damn tired. I'll fix it all up after I help someone out in elder scrolls
