When the ship landed we shouldn’t have gone near it. We really should have run away, called the police, the media, the FBI, anything other than what we actually did.

Now, after the ship, we’re so much more.

More than Human.

But we weren't the only ones, and unless my friends and I learn to control the powers that we have been given the others are going to hurt so many innocent people. We're not sure why the ship was there. We're not sure where it came from, but I'm positive that there was a reason we saw it.

A new species of the human race has begun.

The Human+ have arrived, and Earth will never be the same again.

-----------------------

Alright gang, here's the skinny. We're playing as high school teens. Preferably in the 14-16 year old range at most. Powers will be randomly assigned to you by me and I would like to see some creative use of powers. While the assignment of powers may be random I will TRY to make sure that only useful powers are included in the list so it's not too ridiculously unfair. But part of the challenge here is in taking whatever power you get and making something of it.

The RP will start the day before we all end up getting our powers, some events will lead up to us getting our abilities and there IS a purpose behind the space ship, but that won't really be revealed until later in the RP, if we get that far.

DA RULES

Pretty basic guys.

1. Have fun.
2. Don't be a tool.
3. No meta gaming or God-moding.
4. Have fun.
5. I don't expect posts every single day, but if you're involved in a situation involving other players try not to disappear for an extended period if at all possible. A little heads up if you're going to be away for more than a couple days would be appreciated.

I know I said have fun twice but it deserves repeating.

I am happy to go over any questions and try to fill in understanding about the story. The idea is that we form our own little crime fighting superhero team that will, eventually, end up on a much larger and more chaotic adventure as a direct result of our heroic work on Earth.

CHARACTER SHEET

Relatively simple here.

Name:
Gender:
Age:
Appearance: (image preferred but description works too)
Background:
Relations: (Are you friends with any of the other characters in the game, how long have you been friends? Players can work this out between themselves)
Power: (This will be left blank at the moment because you won't know your power until I assign them)

If I've missed anything or there are any questions lemme know and we'll work everything out.

Here's the list I'll be drawing powers from. Once character sheets are in we'll get started assigning abilities.

Would it be possible for you to provide the list of powers? Just so that we could start thinking about what we could possibly do later on down the line.

I suppose you'll want us to post characters in OOC first, leave the Characters tab pure and clean?

Please, posting characters here first would be best, thank you. @TychosFullmeta

@Thundercrash I'll see about posting a link to the list I intend to use. There's a lot more than 100 powers on that one though.

EDIT: Oh, if some would like to create more than one character so we can have some villains not directly controlled by me that's fine.

I take it appearance isn't super important to know?

...Gah, I still don't like using emoticons.

Character-wise I'm probably just gonna tweak an old one I've had sitting around to fit the setting. He's already a superhero geek, so he'd be a perfect fit for this!

So, I have an idea for a character trait, but it will require at least one friend.

Okay, so I finished the CS, but I'm not sure if that's enough information.

Let me know if anything needs to be fixed.

I'm in the Pacific Standard Time. If I'm not mistaken, we are in the same time zone.

@Ally610 I like her except what is a kuudere? That's not a term that I am familiar with.

@Thundercrash what's your characters trait? Mayhap we can be old friends?

@pockets Sophia (her eventual name) is going to be a functional mute; she has never spoken a single word in her entire life. She primarily communicates through facial expressions and gestures, sign language, or a text-to-speech app on her phone.

Also, this:http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Kuudere does a decent job of explaining kuudere.

Additionally, I'm in Mountain Standard Time in Canada.

@Thundercrash AH, Raven from Teen Titans, 'nuff said. She was always my favorite character.

I like the idea of your character Sophia, but I'm concerned that requiring a friend that much might be a little more difficult than its worth. You'll have to make some serious use of that text to voice app cause you won't always be interacting with people with your friend around to translate.

Your interactions with other players will thus be limited. If you're ok with that I think we can work with it.

@Ally610 Min is accepted as she is. I like her and I'm looking forward to seeing her in action.

@pockets It's not so much that she needs a translator (even when she doesn't have her phone, she's pretty good at getting her point across when she wants to) as I just want at least one person who kind of "gets" her. And she keeps a notepad and pen with her, just in case her phone dies. Basically, barring extreme circumstances, there will always be a way for her to communicate with others.

Also, approximately where will this be set?

In the books I don't specify where. No city or state names because they're trying to keep their identities secret, ya know? I was thinking somewhere in the midwest, like Oklahoma or Denver or something maybe. A large city center, but in an area where there's plety of nearby woods and forests and mountains.

Hup! I'm leaving Relations blank for so it can be up for discussion. Anyone who thinks they can get along with Blake is free to be his friend, though.

I'm same with Pacific Standard, by the way.
