Link to RP

[ 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










Notes
  • We’re focusing more on outcasts and vigilantes in this RP
  • Chimera, The Syndicate, and The Glorious Alliance are non-playable, however some loose ties or past associations are acceptable (just ask me if you need clarification)
  • N.O.V.A. / M.A.D. agents are non-playable; strictly for NPCs and background (suggestions for agents are welcome, though)
  • Non-Variant characters are welcome
  • Class 5 Variants are not allowed
  • Be careful when using Distortionist-type abilities so that they are not too overpowered
  • This is taking place in the year 2130 in an alternate version of America
  • Have fun!!!




Still solidifying a plot and hammering out a few other details...just laying the groundwork here. Enjoy!

Sounds interesting! Might be a bit of delay in making a character thanks to finals though.

Thanks all for your interest! I hope you’ll all be able to join.

I edited the first post with a CS to ponder over while I clean things up. Any questions, just ask!

When you say “alternate version of America”, do you mean because it’s in the future? Or are there major historical differences in the timeline?

Yes, there are several historical events that differ from our version of reality simply because of the existence of Variants. Essentially, things like technology evolved and changed at roughly the same rate (perhaps a bit faster, actually), but in a slightly different way. It’s basically America if different companies and organizations existed and locations had different names.

Hope that’s not too vague of an answer.

Yes, I’ve done this a few times, actually…and unfortunately, it’s lost steam each time because people have life stuff come up and the posts slow down. But I’m gonna retry til it sticks because I love this idea so much.

@Eclektik

I already know who I'm going for. A character I haven't had the chance to use yet.

He's a bleeding heart vigilante that hides his true identity as if he has something to keep secret, but does his best to be one of the "good ones." He's not licensed but people out in the streets see him enough that he's not an unknown entity. He's out there in costume for lack of a better word virtually every day and if he isn't busting some bad guy's face wide open he's doing good old fashion good deeds like getting cats out of a tree or lifting something absurdly heavy.

His power is that he turns into a skeleton. In that form he weighs roughly 60lbs, has a degree of super strength he can use to move around like a ninja, and is really good at turning breakdancing into martial arts. The catch is all of this runs on fuel. His powers run on smoke, so in virtually every conflict he'll be seen with a cigarette in his mouth.

In case anyone is wondering, my character will basically be immune to heat and can infuse metal with solar energy to heat it to searing temps (in a nutshell).

@Blizz
That sounds really interesting...gives me Ghost Rider vibes

@Eclektik, What power levels are you willing to permit for a Variant?

I have an idea for an OC but he might be too powerful for the RP.
