Premise
In 2000 people began developing powers and abilities. They came in four kinds and the United Nations began assigning and labeling those with abilities by different names depending on their powers as most countries followed along with the labels. Troubadours, those with psychokinesis or telekinesis abilities; Apostles, those who were able to see visions of the future; Paladins, whose abilities were to conjure and manipulate energy; and Elixirs, who were able to heal others.

Most governments in major countries secretly began hunting down and experimenting on those people with powers and abilities, trying to understand how each power worked and to see if they could use it to benefit themselves, thus began the arms race for superhuman abilities and the secret capture of citizens all over the world.

The current year is 2032 and most of the world has stayed the same and the United States is no different. Those with abilities try to hide it from the outside world as there have been stories of people disappearing once they announce that they have powers, being captured and taken to labs to be poked and prodded with needles, to become a science experiment for crazed doctors and scientists, or even worse, to be slaughtered and killed. Those are all just dark rumors though and the only ones who know the truth are those within the government and a small task force simply known as Paragon.

Paragon's main goal is to hunt down and capture people with powers and abilities, returning them to facilities placed all across the United States in hopes to find out ways to enhance their powers. They are being used by the United States government to make sure the U.S. is going to be the first to achieve a breakthrough in the arms race for superhuman powers.

Where we begin is in a facility located in New York City. The building is located in Lower Manhattan of New York City, disguising itself as a pharmaceutical company called Aceso Medical. Deep underneath Aceso Medical and the streets of New York City are the underground laboratories and cells that people with powers and abilities are kept locked up and experimented on.

Each of our characters will have various abilities at different levels, but the goal is the same. Our characters are trying to survive and escape, but with no where to run and no plans, all they can do is wait. They have to wait for the right time to strike but they aren't even allowed to socialize with one another let alone move without one of the doctors, nurses, or guards seeing them.

Did someone say they wanted an edgy teenager?

EDIT: I wrote his personality in as I imagined it might look on a file, it was for fun mostly. If you'd like it to look more traditional then let me know and I'll edit it.
EDIT2: I made it traditional anyway because I kept looking it over and thinking that it was tremendously ugly.

Oh! You can expect a CS from me ;)

Edit: Question. If I were to play an Apostle for example, it might prove difficult to write because you don’t actually know what a character is gonna do/person is gonna write. It would possibly need a small level of godmodding. (for ex: Fay sees a spider is gonna appear out of Lisa’s sleeve. Person playing Lisa has to write: I see a spider coming out of my sleeve)

Is this possible or not done?

That's a really good question. I think we can find some way to work it in. Maybe either for plot purposes they can envision more vague things like... an explosion in the lab, but not knowing which one or what day, someone seeing a spider, but not seeing the face of the person that said spider is coming out of, and whichever person wants that to be them can role-play it out or kind of dibs it.

And as for visions that help further the plot we can talk about it through pms to give it a bit more flow too!

Hope that answered your question. Also I'll be looking at the CS that were posted after work today!

Is this still open? It's practically ideal for exactly the kind of RP I love.
