The Promise - "How do you organize a successful RP? You Planet."

OOC

The world has changed pretty drastically over the past few decades.

Technology advanced, lives got longer, people started donating more to Africa. You get the gist.

Oh, and pretty recently something about the human genome has changed. Some people started producing a new energy- one that gave them superpowers. It was like something right out of a comic book. There weren't heroes like in the stories though. People are innately self driven and these powers were... not used to benefit much of anyone.

The world changed. These gifted individuals might have had power, but the regulars had numbers, and fear, and religions, and weapons that fired high calibre lead at supersonic speeds which pretty much put anything that wasn't made of stone down as quick as a regular person. They had to find other means for the golems.

More of these... metahumans began popping up around the globe, and while there were the bad apples- there were the good ones too. The ones that were paramedics using their electricity to revive their patients, or using their ability to read minds to teach more effectively. The comic books ended up being pretty inaccurate. There weren't many of them, less than a thousandth of the population. Do the math though- in this world that's still over ten million people.

The world saw that these people could slaughter and burn, but it also saw that it could save lives and innovate. The world called for change again- To train these gifted people to push the world forward through academies and learning programs, and the world came together towards one common goal.

A promise for a greater tomorrow.

Not to be confused with The Promise of course.

The Promise is the world's most incredible endeavor yet. An Academy in orbit.

A city in the sky.

The Promise is where you're going, actually. You've either been chosen through a draw and agreed to go to school in a giant space station 22,000 miles away from the ground, or you've been dragged there kicking and screaming to to taught how to be civil or to be ejected into space for the safety of those around you.

Oh, and before I go- yes, you can turn the gravity off.

Well, whatever, but I'm still gonna express an interest. My soul is ready to take the disappointment because @JunkMail had me at the title.
Still, just a thought...what if someone who could phase through solid objects accidentally phased out of the Academy into space? (Buh-bye, silly little person)

@Loki Odinson

Funny, I'm making a character with semi-intangibility (She functions like a gas: objects phase through her, but not the inverse).

[Loki Odinson]

Hmm...I'm debating between illusion projection, size manipulation or portal creation (<-- would be useful for creating a life-action "Portal").

@Loki Odinson

Sounds like you answered your own question! Size manipulation would be... interesting to see in action (#massshifting), but I absolutely love the idea of portal manipulation and generation.

Just a quick information update. There hasn't been much going on today, so I've made a pretty good amount of progress towards the OOC. So that's lit. While I'm cleaning all that up and making it less ass I have a little something for you all to toy around with.

I trust you all for the most part to not be "play to win" types of party poopers. So most of your powers are probably going to be A-okay. Use this to kinda get an idea of what your character's like. It's up to you if you want to share your progress- might even begin to set up some prexisting relations. Hell if I know.

If you all have any questions related to powers, what's extra not-okay, or whatever, just ask or PM me my dudes.
