It started in an online forum, much like this one, in a world much like this one. A cry went up. A cry for change. A plea for help. Then it happened and one by one people started to wake up...

username:Salamander -> heard they were looking to reset up that ministry that exploded a while back... might consider applying for work.
username:Xx_grilling_xX -> No chnce in h3ll! Those guys are way shady
username:Salamander -> why tho? Good jobs are hard to come by
username:Xx_grilling_xX -> Ppl want you to believe that it was a freak thing, rmember wut how they originally thought someone was behind it? Well they would just strike the new one again.
username:Dark_Wreath -> What? Like a Fire Generator? Even if someone had that much power there is a no way he could pack that much punch withuot taking himself out.
username:Jilted -> IT CULD BE A SHE!
username:Dark_Wreath -> Yeah I guess but still...
username:Xx_grilling_xX -> With a Manipulator though?
username:Dark_Wreath -> Even more unlikely! 2 people w power like that? I rate a 6 w Fire Generation, couldnt even come close
username:Salamander -> Woah a 6?!?!
username:Dark_Wreath -> Yip ;P
username:Xx_grilling_xX -> He's prob lying
username:Jilted -> Well I'm a 7 with Lightning Manipulation, the average is only 5.
username:Salamander -> WHAAAT?! I thought it was like 4. Im only a 3 with Fire Manipulation ToT
username:Xx_grilling_xX -> LOL, n00b
username:Jilted -> Anyway so Salamander, are you gonna take the job?
username:Salamander -> Probably, interview is tomorrow and they're only looking for ppl to fill the temp spots in the temp HQ.
username:Jilted -> Well good luck
username:Xx_grilling_xX ->... and that was the last they ever saw of him *woooooo*
Yesterday:
username:Salamander -> I need help, whoever is there please they've been lying to us all and I found out and now people are after me please, if anyone is there please please please. The Oblivion, tomorrow night. I just want things to
Hello Potential Roleplaying comrades! I am Lemmings and this is jackass my Roleplay. It takes place in a world much like our own, in fact for most practical purposes it is. The people populating it however are a little different. Everyone, from the moment they are born, possess one of two possible abilities to varying degrees. They are either a Manipulator (someone who can manipulate and control a specific element but not create) or a Generator (the opposite of what I said earlier). For the most part this is inconsequential. Sure there are unique novelties tailored to this sort of thing like arenas or action movies but overall there is not much call to use these abilities. Although that said some jobs specifically look for them. Like Firefighters who are Fire Manipulators or Water Generators.
So magnets, how do they work? Beats the !#$% out of me but here's how these abilities work:
Manipulators: People with this ability have an extrasensory connection to their element. The stronger they are the more they can move, the faster they can move it, and the further they can reach with it. As said earlier they cannot create it and nor can they destroy it but they shape and alter it quite drastically as long as it retains its essential essence. Also note that the source of their element can be anything, not just a generator with the same element.
Generators: People who can create their element. This can be quite drastic when it comes to seemingly solid materials and the truth is its not understood very well but theories seem to suggest that the element is carried in minor traces within all the cells of their body and then released on demand. Which then leaves the less solid things unexplained... Their handicap of not being able to manipulate their element often leads to them simply ignoring their ability as it just becomes too risky sometimes.
Oh also if you read above, and I really hope you did because you're really pretty and love it when people are really pretty and can read, you noticed there are measurements of ability. It doesn't really have an end value, it's a bit like the Richter scale where you will rarely see scores above 8 and almost none at 10. There are a few notable people with those sort of abilities though and they are feared. Because Earth shaking explosions and planet-wide floods can be notoriously bad for your health.
So the actual RP, well it will be fairly structured with me mostly guiding the plot as well as playing crucial NPCs. You're role is to play people who read the above. Perhaps you are regulars on the forum or maybe know a friend who read it but read it you did and now your curiosity is peaked. A pity what they say curiosity does to cats... hopefully your characters will be made of sterner stuff because yes, death is possible.
Also this is one of those times that a healthy background in bureaucracy can be as potent as skill in fighting although if this adventure is to be successful people skilled in both will be needed. The more diverse the more likely you are to get to the bottom of this... whatever it is.
Who's in?
EDIT: GOSH I FORGOT TO ADD THE ACTUAL ELEMENTS SO HERE THEY ARE
