[ Pariah ]



Some call us superhumans, some call us enhanced, some even call us freaks of nature.

Over time, the ‘politically correct’ term has become Variant -- as in, a variation of the normal human genome. We’re said to have an anomaly in our genetic code that allows us to manifest certain powers or abilities.

No explanation as to how or why or where this came from...either way, it’s a major source of conflict in our world.

While the world struggles to figure out what to do with Variants, the Variants struggle to find their place in the world.

There are those who want to try and maintain ordinary lives just like everyone else...perhaps use their abilities to help a few people or get ahead in life.

Some prefer to play the hero, believing that their abilities were somehow bestowed upon them for upholding some grand responsibility.

And, yet, there are those who would rather watch the world burn just to see if anything will rise from the ashes...

Apparently, a normal life isn’t an option for someone who can turn into ice or has armored skin or can read minds...too much to ask, it seems.

But with every struggle, there’s a story...and this is ours.

General Info





* * * * * * *

Over the past several weeks, there has been a sudden influx of disappearances in New Haven, a city known for increasing levels of Variant-related crimes. All attempts by local law enforcement to solve these missing persons cases have turned up cold. Investigators who appear to be close to a solution end up disappearing themselves. Most of these have been random unfortunate victims, both human and Variant alike, with zero connections between them. Wrong place, wrong time. Lately, however, a few of those who vanished have been Nobles. When the 'best and brightest' start getting captured, it becomes a real problem. Whatever is taking place here, it can't be good at all…

Meanwhile, the tech-heads at Chimera are cooking up a little scheme of their own. Rumors are swimming around that they may be targeting a major facility in the very near future. Whether or not the sources are reliable, the very fact that these rumors have come up is raising a few eyebrows and putting several people on alert…Chimera is not to be played with.

Notes
  • N.O.V.A. / M.A.D. agents and Nobles are non-playable; strictly for NPCs and background (suggestions for characters are welcome, though)
  • Non-Variant characters are welcome
  • Class 5 Variants are not allowed
  • This is taking place in the year 2130 in an alternate version of America

@Artifex how many characters are we allowed + what type of "realistic" faceclaim would you prefer (real photography or art)?

@Ghost Note
I want to start with only one character for now, and if the RP needs filling out, I'll bump it up to two. Real photography for the faceclaim is preferred, but I'll accept realistic art if a photo doesn't do the character justice...I just want to avoid animation and anime.

Aight, I have a character in mind I might use. She'll be a Class 1, but her power will make a huge impact.

Got the big gist of the character down, I just have to hammer out the personal/background info. Lemme know if you got questions and nit picks, I like having questions that help me sort out and refine the character.

I think my desire to get back into RPing has returned, and this might very well be the reason.

You’ve made something really cool here, and I enjoyed the attention to detail which you’ve put into it.

If you allow another person to join, I’d like to. I might throw up a character when I get home.

That's ok...I didn't need to sleep tonight anyway. :P How exactly does Ridley 'consume' biomass? And is it like a permanent addition or something that comes and goes?

@Shard
I've got plenty more room so you are more than welcome ^_^

Ya know, them teefers ain't for show. Chomp Chomp.

They're like a bear fattening up for winter, keeps their biomass stores full and growing just incase they need to make an explosive change, repair catastrophic damage, or just to keep the hunger away. They lose a bit of biomass every day to keep their bodily functions in tip-top shape, but it's minimal due to the efficiency of their biology and for the most part, they consume biomass *cough* Gangsters and Worse people *cough* because they can and it satisfies deep-seated predatory instincts.

Once ate a whole cow, messy business.

@Shard
Given the nature of your character, the picture is just fine. He's a perfect fit for the Underground, but he's registered with N.O.V.A. and the Underground tries to avoid the agency...so it'll be interesting to see how that plays out.

@Sewer Rat
Surles still fits with the RP, but feel free to make any changes if you wish.

@Ruiner
So, he literally consumes his biomass...yummy. Just needed some clarification in my mind.

Good stuff so far. Hopefully I can get a few more people interested 'cause I like variety.
