This is a little idea I call Streamers! It's inspired by a lot of different fandoms, I'll go ahead and list them and see if any catch your attention! It's a modern people with powers idea, but it's very specific powers, so it's kind of like The Tomorrow People, or Stranger Things, there's also lowkey interdimensional monsters so another tick on the Stranger Things box. Also Life is Strange, figure since we're busting out the modern twists might as well drag that one out, and I've been playing the hell out of LIS 2 episode one so yeeeees! Anyway, there wont be as much diversity as in something like X-Men as far as powers, but there's going to be quite the list of available powers and their specialties; Telekinesis, Telepathy, Teleportation, Temporalkinesis, and Technopathy. All powers will be open to the player but mastery of said powers will vary and everyone will have their own 'specialty' which grants them additional applications of said powers.

I'll go ahead and do the rundown for those, but first; there's a lot of trust here. Your characters will not know half of what they're actually capable of, and may not ever learn the full extent of the powers, so they can only use purposefully use abilities they know they have, and accidentally use new powers in high stress situations. They can learn of other abilities from other characters or other Streamer NPCs, or they can just make educated guesses. Like I said, trust- but I will make you rewrite if I feel you've abused said trust. Also keep in mind these are abilities that draw from the energy of your character to use, so throwing a bunch of telekinetic punches on an empty stomach will wear you out quick.











Okay, so that's done. Super overpowered I know, hence the trust and the warning above! And I'll give a warning here as well; a lot of these, especially the time travel stuff, is sustained, not push a button and done, but hold down the button until the energy bar runs out and you reset. We'll just say its the natural state of the universe for everything to exist in the present, thus grappling into the future or past you will eventually reappear in the present when you can no longer resist the pull to go back or until the present catches up in the case of going to the really-near future.

Also you should probs ask questions here or in dms- or in the discord which I will make if this get's any interests! - before doing anything you think might be problematic.

Also, there's more powers to come, and some of the current powers don't make sense, like what are Streamer dimensions? Welp. You'll find out. In game. Muahahahah. So there's that to look forward to. And don't worry, I have planned with the diversity and OPness in mind, so meet your enemies;



These are the last thing you ever see. Kinda literally, but that's metaphorical for now! They're called Seekers and they have all your powers and more, plus the advantage of actual skill and expertise with said powers, and of course they can fly through objects, normal people can't see them, and they come from a mysterious and vastly technologically superior alien species. Whether that's interdimensional or extrastellar aliens is up for debate, but you can probably guess!

Then there's these bad boys;



Pretty dumb, animal like, also hello Stranger Things inspo! They're Hunters, pack-like foot soldiers of the Seekers, they prowl around Seeker bases and tear their enemies to ribbons. These ones can be seen by normal people, but they can also sort of clip through objects by jumping through dimensions. Like in Stranger Things. That's like the third name drop, this isn't promotional I swear, no one paid me!

Oh and there's a big boss but don't worry about him he's end game. Or she. Maybe they don't have genders... Anyways! Ic-ish intro:




It's cold and dark, and the room is empty and bland. There is a mat on the floor, surprisingly soft but itchy and sticky, and sometimes it moves to a different corner without anyone noticing. There is a huge door, it never opens and it's made of biting icy metal. Beside it is a foggy glass window with metal bars on both sides, through it monsters can be seen patrolling the halls... they lope and move in packs, and they have no faces, but many teeth. The doors of the hall open only for them, and nothing else ever comes through.

Is it good luck or bad that they never come through the room doors? There is no food, or water, and no warm clothes or any speck of sunlight. It can't be healthy, and yet as hours turn to days, days to weeks, weeks to months, the hunger, the thirst, they never come. Sickness doesn't come either, nor death, just an endless patrol outside, a bone-rattling chill, and a whisper in the mind. A skittering, sibilant tongue, hissing words that can't be understood, but feel like worms in the brain anyway. How long has it been whispering? Where does it come from? It never answers any questions, or changes from that droning, sickening language to something coherent...

When was the last time there was sunlight? Warmth? Food? Family? People... When was the last time there were actual people, and not monsters around every corner? The memory is dark and cold, like the room, but at least there is an echo of warmth.

The first time it was glorious, the windows had rattled and the lights had flickered and power had raced at the finger tips, tingled at the brain. They didn't come the first time... but they did the second. The memory was foggy, how much time passed between the first time and the second was a mystery, but the second time, oh the second time there had been consequences. The ground had shook and there had been such a blast of light, and then a faceless creature had come from below, it's tendril like arms like whips lashed around the wrist, the arm, the waist, tightening and pulling down, through the floor and into darkness.

The prison came after the darkness, and the darkness came after the power, but sometimes... sometimes that power came back, and the whispers were silenced and the cold was stymied and at last there was rest... and then it buckled and fell away, and the cold and dark came back...

How long... how hopeless... how lonely.

...and then the whispers were silent, and there were screams in the corridor.
