Keen! Watching out for that ooc :)

I'm interested. I've got a bit of an oddball character in mind, maybe 2.

You guys still looking for people? If so, I think I've got a couple of characters that would be perfect for this! I was wondering, though, could someone know magic from two different categories, such as Nature and Personal?

The story sounds interesting! Gotta love a classic meta-human RP. I'd love to join in with some sort of beast-summoning Nature character if this is still seeking prospective players!

Definitely interested got a interesting character planned out

I'm excited to start. Anyone ready to be Dandelion's new best friend? Note that you may not have a choice.

What powers do they have?

I also have a plant based character in mind.

This seems interesting. Still thinking of character ideas and powers that would be interesting to use.

@Crimson Flame Dandelions are their favorite flower, I'm sure they'll be especially fond of your character. I don't foresee any overlap.

Looking forward to this.

I'm interested in this. Keeping an eye out for OOC

I'm also interested. I'm only gonna play one character, but I'm mulling two over. One is a werewolf with friendly dog energy, the other is some kind of Frankenstein-esque experiment, sent to school to learn to be a real person.

Hm, now that I think about it, I wonder how olympics are handled in this universe. Maybe they have normal olympics and meta human olympics or something... Probably can't have them compete in the same competition after all.

Sorry for the delay in getting the OOC up. I had some stuff come up IRL which included losing a pet that has been in my life for the past 16 years.

The OOC will not be up tonight, as I will be finalizing some updates to the timeline to involve aliens and such as well as finalize the format for the character sheet, but it will be up tomorrow at some point. I will also post a link to the discord channel tomorrow too (sorry, but I don't want to get overwhelmed with messages tonight before getting the OOC up) as part of the main post.

I'm not tagging everyone that has spoken up since my last update - but yes, you all are welcome to join.

@Spin The Wheel - regarding the Olympics, yes - metahumans are not allowed to compete. The science behind determining who can and cannot use magic is still being debated (multiple countries have been working on such genome tracking, but argue which method is most accurate) and not fully explored. Each country requires their athletes to submit to genetic testing before competing, but the organization doesn't have a standard test they use and thus expect each nation to report accurately. This does not actually prevent cheating by use of metahumans with physically amplifying magic, but the penalties are severe for countries caught using metahumans - including exclusion from remaining and a number of future games as well as loss of medals accumulated to that point.

@Daxam - about multiple magics - yes, multiple magics are possible. However, each magic type has their own subcategories. So it would be more that one learns all of a particular magic type and maybe a subcategory of another or two, or they learn a few subcategory specialties. It's easier learning magics that compliment each other, and metahumans find they are stronger if they focus on only a handful rather than trying to learn from each category.

Excited to make my CS. Genetic testing suggests a difference in DNA leading to meta-human status? Or would this merely be a genetic marker?

So sorry to hear about the loss of your pet, I know how sad that can be.

@Sanguine Rose

First off, I'm sorry to hear about your pet. We're going through some things with our cat, so I know where you're coming from.

Second, that makes sense! Would one of them being a mutant impact that at all? I plan on having one of my characters be a girl with wolf features (just ears and a tail), at least if that's allowed!

Edit: I just realized I should also mention that I plan on having her use strength-enhancement and ice magic

@Sanguine Rose
Sorry to hear about your pet. I know how close I am with mine and how devastated I would be if he passed away.

On a character front, I've decided on a teen fused with an energy being. They can separate for brief periods of time or combine into a mixed form.

Thanks, everyone. I'm currently finishing up the OOC intro right now. I apologize again for the further delay. Yesterday I was able to pick up her remains and I was completely useless for doing anything aside from talking the whole thing over with my kids.

For now, here's the discord link. I will post it in the OOC once I get it finished. Feel free to join if you want to throw questions my way before I finish getting the OOC posted. https://discord.gg/sFngNr6W

@Dead Cruiser This is still what is debated. "Mutants" have genetic markers akin to what has been brought up through things like X-Men, but not everyone that ends up having the ability to use magic has these same genetic markers. Which is why it's so widely disputed on how to properly identify meta-humans. With many countries starting to view them as having rights and meta-humans not having to hide themselves, it's becoming much less a topic for discussion to identify such individuals.

@Daxam All of that would be fine, yes.

@Martian That would work. If you want to go over any more specifics about the energy being part, feel free to message me. There will be a part on the character sheet for stuff like that too though. Most things will fly so long as the character doesn't appear too OP.

@Martian @Daxam @Shift @Dead Cruiser @Spin The Wheel @Gisk @Silverstein @sly13 @Crimson Flame @xXSINXx @Lawful Newtral @Dark Light @Hyyde322 @Phi Chisym @Blazion After much ado, here's the OOC:
