From the dawn of time, mankind has had many stories of those who were superior to regular humans. These beings have been called many thing, the Olympian Gods, the Asgardians, angels, demons, mythical creatures such as vampires & werewolves, and many other names. Long believed to be nothing more then legends & myths throughout human history. But, what if all of these various stories had some truth to them? Thus the story of Invincible is born.

The setting is the "Real" world in the year 2019. In January the entire earth was ensnared in a bright light, an ear shattering noise was heard across the planet, seven million people were instantly vaporized, fires started in several places across the planet, and the whole world was plunged into a week long blackout. The world's power was instantly returned, the total death poll no more then 15 million including those vaporized society recovered. A week later without notice the entire earth was plunged in darkness for nearly 12 hours, and three million of the seven million initially disintegrated reappears on the earth.

The three million who returned have no memory of being vaporized & their month away from earth. However all of them have been imbued with superhuman abilities, powers based on their deepest subconscious desires & wants. The cause of the incident was a multi-national secret government experiment attempting to re-engineer technology from a space-ship recovered from humans from a parallel dimension. The idea is these humans from the parallel earth were planning to invade the earth, but their own initial fleet sent to our earth was disintegrated, and only one shape safely made it to our planet. The government's tampering with the ship activated a technology that causes accelerated evolution in humans, and the world around them.

Premise
People can play as regular humans and/or those dubbed as "The Invincible". Some who returned manifested their powers right away, some are just now discovering them, and their are others whose powers remain dormant. The storyline revolves around how those with superhuman powers affect the real world, as well as the aftermath of "The Incidents". The Government coalition responsible for the incident have formed a secretive multi-national paramilitary agency known as Legion to capture & kill those empowered. Also people with superhuman abilities have become public knowledge in the past month of the RP.

Rules:
1. Fairness, want everyone to be fair and remember this is a story powers can grow over the story.
2. You can have as many characters as you can keep up with.
3. Stay as active as your life allows you to, and if you foresee an extended duration of unavailability try to free up any plots/characters you have interactions with.
4. Minimum post length at least one to two paragraphs
5. Set in the "Real" world so keep that in mind, this not Marvel or DC comics.
6. Powers are first come first serve, a power can be reserved if you PM me, and let me know. :) I'll keep a record of reserved powers, as a result of this it's advisable to ask and see if a power is available. Duplicate powers are allowed if the original person who picked the power doesn't mind, but try to have a creative difference for how you use the power.
7. Due to the nature of how they got their powers, no characters under 14 have powers.
8. Have Fun!

I'm down. :)

Very rough draft, just to show I'm interested if you're still accepting newcomers. I'll fill in her backstory if you like the concept.

I'd also like to use this as my way of requesting reserving shapeshifting as my character's ability.

@Nallore Always a pleasure to RP with you Nallore :)

@Argent Perfect, I'll go ahead and add that ability to the reserve list in the OP post. I love what I see with teh pro fa, let me know when your finished so I can approve it, and tell you to post in the character thread.

Name:
Erik Keystone

Age:
21

Gender:
M

Height:
6'3

Weight:
214 lbs.

Ethnicity:
White

Sexual Orientation:
Heterosexual

Religion:
Undisciplined

Occupation:
Online college student

Ability:
Kinetic energy use... His power is the ability to channel energy from within himself and objects around him to form forcefields or strike people with solid, fast-moving orbs or spikes of energy. He can also endow things with energy, or "charge them up."

Background:
Erik is from a bad trash neighborhood where he vowed to leave. He acquired a job when he was 16, and then graduated from school. Shortly after that, his mother deceased after overdosing on drugs and he broke down at the funeral. His uncle advised him to see a shrink, and he did. He was given medicine, but tried to off himself like his mother did. So, halfway on the way out he called the emergency line and doctors put him in the behavioral clinic.

He was suffering depression. They got him eating and sleeping correctly. After a couple of weeks, he was discharged from the hospital unit and started back working. He used his medicine, and it worked. He hardly ever complained, but he did get questioned several times about failing drug tests. He delivered the manager a note from his doctor. But, he felt like he was under profiling and quit work and applied and received government assistance.

It's been a lot of the same thing since he left intensive behavioral care. Nowadays... he's got a superpower and he runs with it.

@role model Approved!

However, do fix the image.

^_^, place Erik's character image in those brackets. Anyway feel free to submit that character into the character section of this RP, so the games can begin!

Just gonna put my name down next to electricity manipulation and promise to be back with a character later.

Name: Alan "Carter" Smith

Age: 34

Gender: Male

Height: 5'11"

Weight: 180

Ethnicity: White

Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual

Religion: Catholic

Occupation: Bookshop Owner (Thief)

Ability: Electricity Manipulation

Background: Even though he was born of middle class parents Alan didn't have much time to enjoy a normal life before both of his parents died at the hands of a cop during a traffic stop. The news was heartbreaking, but more than that, embittering towards authority. He and his two younger siblings spent most of their childhoods in an orphanage without really knowing the details of happened to their parents and without much hope for the future. It was particularly bad for Alan who hated the way the orphanage was run and could only barely coexist with the staff. Regardless he stowed it away for the sake of his brother and sister.

When he was a teenager he fell in with some pick pockets and wannabe pickpockets and had his first run in with the police. Alan outran them and eluded them all night until he met the man who would become his master, an aging man who went by Reagan, who just so happened to be a master thief. Really Reagan had scouted him.

He taught Alan everything he knew and before Alan was in college he was already participating in some fairly big heists. The money was, as Alan told himself, for his brother and sister to help them get on in life, but when they found out what Alan had done to get it, they dissociated with him only keeping his secret out of respect for their familial connection. So he threw himself at his work. Alan became notable enough to run his own crew and make his own jobs. One day though he stumbled upon the most beautiful woman he had ever seen by the name of Elizabeth. She came of old money and her father was determined to involve her heavily with his business partners and eventually marry her off like some medieval lord. They met in secret for a few years before Her father found out about them and forbid their meeting ever again. Eli complied and turned Alan away again and again. Abandoned by everyone in his life Alan removed himself from the world for a while before coming back to the criminal scene with a vengeance. He went after big heist after big heist before once again leaving the scene, telling his associates only that there wasn't anything else left worthy of his talents.

Now however things are different. the world is in a degree of chaos and Alan has some new abilities to test the limits of, so it looks like crime is back on the menu.

(Coincidentally the character in the image is also named carter, but the name came before I found the image.)

Oh yes sir, perfect character!
Approved! Post him in the character tab!

When will we get started?

When will we get started?

We're started now, go ahead and start posting in the IC thread!

We may need a little more context to get going. Like a more particular location than the whole world and maybe a reason to drag some more passive people in.

I am of course willing to provide as Carter is kinda designed for narrative flexibility/conflict, but I would need some time. Work and all.

Alright, I'll go ahead and submit the first post! I believe we should start the storyline in Atlanta, Georgia and have all the characters in a central location. I'll also begin putting together initial issues for the characters to tackle.

But yeah, Carter will definently be a key character. I just made my last character, so I believe I have all I need character wise to infuse the plot with juicy action.

@role model Go ahead and post your character in the character tab.

Well, let me know if there is anything you want me to play along with him @Chulance

Talk to me? This is a fresh character with some Gambit mojo. Hit me up.

Anybody wanna plot/collab? I'm at the movies a few blocks from the warehouse.

I could be convinced.

On a separate note, does anyone want to discuss more particularly the baselines of their characters' powers of the r is that not a thing we are interested in establishing out of character?

Uh, well... My power is like Gambit's from Marvel X-Men. He can charge up anything, from a basketball to a kitchen table chair. He can slow it down, or speed it up. He launches charged up stuff at his enemies and they react by exploding and creating a bang, either stunning or injuring the enemy.

Here, the only things I'm taking away from this is static interference, vibration emission, delayed charge, and sheering/cutting... marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Remy_LeBeau_(E…

@FunnyGuy Excellent, Excellent characters!

Marcus Stone, working for Legion is perfect, lmao no super is safe! Lmao, and he's "Ghost" an unkillable Ghost is crazy. Power comes on today too oooouuu

Bella is another amazing character, I can feel the evil dripping off her.

Post them in the character tab!

@role model Yes, we can collab! I love collab we can start planning things. I'm putting together a little story idea right now. One of my characters Adora is responsible for the murder of the agents Flint is looking into.

Kalep has no ties to any characters/story except Jace yet.

The story I'm thinking for Jace, is what would happen if a regular criminal got powers, and what they'd do instead of being a super villain.
