Currently semi-closed. Apps are unlikely to be accepted, although if you PM about it you may be able to find a placement.

It's been a few days since you were last at home.

It's been a bit of a blur for you. It was just a normal mundane weekday until they took you. You didn't have any reason to suspect it. No reason to have your guard up. One moment, you were living your life the same as you always did, the next, you were fading in to unconsciousness with suited men approaching you. When you came to your senses, perhaps a day or two ago now, you found yourself in some kind of container made of a strange metal. You've had meals and water passed through in to your container, but you have received no response when attempting to make contact. By the rattling sound below, you deduced you are on a train of some kind.

You are scared, alone, angry - and without answers, still completely oblivious as to who took you, and why. You have an inkling though. You deduce that it's to do with your gift - or your affliction, however you see it. For the last couple of years you have felt powers bloom from within you - perhaps the ability to manipulate fire, to heal or to even fly. You make this connection as for the first time in some months you are unable to use your power at all, the container you are trapped in numbing your ability completely.

Any attempt to escape is futile, any attempt to call for help is futile. Everything you do is a waste of energy, so you wait it out. And wait. Until you hear the bang.


ᴘʀᴇᴍɪs

The story will follow a group of young, in-over-their-head superhumans who have gone from living typical lives - albeit dealing with their recently discovered extraordinary abilities - to living a life of pure danger, fugitives in rural USA on the run from a mysterious organization that strives to keep superhuman individuals in captivity. Having already been captured once and narrowly escaping in to the hills of Northern California before it was too late, the protagonists of this story will be forced to develop their abilities as well as work together and form some kind of unity as a group.

ᴀᴘᴘʟɪᴄᴀᴛɪᴏɴ

Application is currently Open. Please discuss your power with me in PMs if you are worried it's overpowered or otherwise unorthodox. Apps should be sent to me directly, not posted in this thread. I reserve the right to reject any app if I feel it does not fit or is not up to scratch, keeping in mind this is high casual. Character death is also a possibility, and inactive players will eventually be killed off. Currently limited to one character per person.
App details currently in Interest Check.

@Lemons Nice character. Somehow I feel that Tori and Sarah will either get along great or butt heads a lot.

@Lemons Ah, I put that detail in the History rather than making its own section. It's super strength and durability. It would more be their personalities that could conflict.

@t2wave Ah. Didn't see it for some reason. My defense is that I'm tired. But yes. Their personalities are going to clash heavily, and it's going to be hysterical.

If these train cars are as tough as I would assume them to be (tankers are pretty robust as is), Sarah might be busy pulling them apart to get people out. Unless they have their own way.

Tori is a cynic. She's booking it as soon as she can, and the devil take anybody else. So she needs a good reason to hang around long enough for Sarah to get to her.

Well what I mean is that some people might be stuck inside the train car. Obviously depending on their power and stuff. Maybe the cars aren't as sturdy as I'm thinking.

@t2wave I don't think I phrased that very well. What I mean is, as long as Tori herself can get out, she won't care if other people are trapped in the train cars, and she won't stick around long enough to find out if they are. I assume that Sarah is going to try to get them out, so Tori needs some sort of extrinsic motivation to lend a hand.

But yes, the train cars strike me as large and solid, especially since even people with super strength are normal people within. So there's probably going to be some assistance needed for people.

Nice characters you guys!
Great to see some more girls, I thought this would become more of a guys thing. Glad I'm wrong :P

@t2wave
I have a character in my roleplay vault named Floure. She's my favorite character to write as and the only one who made it to the end of a roleplay lol

You make this connection as for the first time in some months you are unable to use your power at all, the container you are trapped in numbing your ability completely.


I don't think any of us can use our abilities to escape until we're released from our containers.

I'm under the assumption that we will either be let out by someone or the mechanism that is nullifying powers go down from the results of the explosion.

Yeah sorry, to avoid confusion: The containers we are in are lined with a power numbing metal that makes you unable to use your power. We do escape, but it's not due to any of our characters.

I interpreted it as the metal the container is made of is what's blocking the powers.

Either way, your character will use common sense to deduce that for some reason they cannot use their power whilst in the container.
