Seizure
Augusta, Maine was hit by a mysterious storm two months ago. Numerous people around the city simultaneously experienced a violent seizure, which hospitalized them for several days. When the victims awoke, they described their state of mind as being different or alien. Preliminary testing showed that their neurological conditions were still in seizure, but no physical symptoms could be detected, as they could function normally.
The event caught the attention of state officials, whom forced the affected to go through several testing procedures at national agencies and medical and psychological institutions. Upon completion, they were sent home, but under strict supervision by qualified personnel. It’s currently unknown whether or not the patients pose a threat to their immediate surroundings, which is why their release is subject to revocation.
The patients were diagnosed with eidetic memory, absolute aptitude, zero-loss physiological reaction, metaphysical synesthesia, and absolute nous. These conditions are subject to extreme exploitation and dangerous exertion, which is why the patients are guarded by government agents wherever they go. This story follows a few patients that attend the same educational institution. They have recently returned from the testing procedures. However, they fear that something much worse than being constantly supervised is coming, but they don’t know what or when.
Their first challenge is to get into a room together and talk without the presence of anyone else.
This roleplay will or should function as a television series. Each episode has its own conflict that is related to or somehow builds towards the overarching story. If the roleplay is successful, there could be several seasons. As with any television series, there is or should be focus on the characters and their lives, those they interact with and how the recent events have affected all of these aspects. Therefore, you will portray several supporting characters in this roleplay, but they do not require character sheets. This means that we can interact with each other through supporting characters as well, but our primary characters are the stars of the show.
The ‘Abilities’
In a nutshell, eidetic memory is the ability to recall anything and everything that you have ever heard or seen with pinpoint accuracy. Absolute aptitude is the ability to learn new things to perfection as you see them for the first time. Zero-loss physiological reaction is physical and mental reflexes that appear pre-emptive. Metaphysical synesthesia is the same as color-graphemic synesthesia, but it applies to physical entities in addition to letters and numbers, another word could be Aura Perception. Absolute nous refers to inherit philosophical understanding of what is true or real, genuine thought and reasoning, extreme intellect and common sense and awareness—Aristotle and Einstein are mentally retarded compared to you.
