I'm too lazy to do even the laziest of things. Here I am, bending to the will of those around me (begrudgingly, may I add). I'm going to provide links to the original posts, for those who would like to know what's happened in the past. For those who are saying, "get on with it, spare us from your whining!" I'll try to sum it up best I can and answer any questions you have. :)
The Short Version (lazily copied from the original interest check which was written by the user, @Nightmare Bunny):
" MALFUNCTION – A Painfully Realistic Superpower RP
Have you ever wondered how “superpowers” might look in real life?
Have you ever wondered what kind of world might spawn such powers?
…have you ever wondered if there was a world where having superpowers really, really sucked?
Well, if so, look no further! @Ogobrogo, @Zoldyck and I wondered the same thing, and now we’re proud to present you with Malfunction, the superpower RP where everything in the world is terrible!
The basic premise is simple: a world united under a single government, where super-powers come with devastating consequences, and where supers (dubbed “Genetic Malfunctions”) are feared for their terrifying abilities. Malfunctions are rooted out during their late teen years, through a test administered every year by their local district to all students between the ages of 15 to 20: the time period over which powers begin to manifest.
Testing positive marks you out as a non-human and a Genetic Malfunction. It means there are now two options for you. If your ability is too powerful, then you are put to death immediately. If not, then you’ll shipped off to one of 150 different Training and Education Facilities across the globe: the concentration camps of the twenty-first century. There, you are trained to use your abilities in order to uphold societal order at all costs.
But even the powers themselves aren’t all sunshine and daisies -- this is the real world, after all, and dangerous mutations mean dangerous consequences. Throwing a super-strength punch means breaking every bone in your arm. Excessive use of telekinesis can cause serious brain damage.
Malfunction takes place in this world. Specifically, it takes place in one of these Training and Education Facilities: TEF-149.
MALFUNCTION -- coming soon, to a Roleplayer Guild near you!"

Please excuse my rant on the new thread. Yes, actually, it is the reason why I'm putting up this entirely gratuitous interest check in the first place. I'm not normally this grumpy.... I don't know what's gotten into me. Sorry about that and please don't let it stop you from enjoying this rp. I think that the creators of this idea really had something. That is why I decided to not change anything about it in the new thread, aside from some (in my humble opinion) inconsequential changes to some certain details. If you do have an issue with the things I've changed then please tell me. I do care about the opportunity to get this story rolling.
I hope to work with you in the future,
