Are there other powered individuals?
There are no other superpowered individuals. Our characters will be the first. One of the main aspects of the roleplay is how the world around them changes as a result: laws being put into place, public reaction, being skyrocketed into the media, etc.

Do our characters have to be current residents of Delton?
No. Characters can have flown the nest and left the town (and even the state), so long as they are the type of person that would feel motivated to return for a reunion.

Does [x thing] exist?
If it doesn't, feel free to make it exist. If you ever want to introduce a piece of worldbuilding (new location, popular show, popular band, celebrity everyone would know, etc.) just throw it at me in the OOC. I'll approve of it if I feel it fits the world, and it'll be added to the OP.

What are the sports that were present in Ritman High?
See above—feel free to make them up. I can discuss any changes with you if need be.

Is there a specific time you're going for?
Oblivion is set in 2019, meaning the group graduated in 2012 when they were 18, which makes them either 25 or 26 today (not sure if I've said otherwise, but I redid the maths). I'm going to set the specific month around July-August time, so you can use that as an indicator for your character's present age.

How big is Ritman High?
The building itself is roughly 9,500m² (metres, not miles), and in 2012 their enrollment was 498 students. There is an added 7,800m² from their football/sports field. An estimate of the entire school grounds would be 70,500m², which includes various external facilities.

Was Ritman in the class A bracket for sports?
They teetered between class A and class B, but just managed to scrape class A.

Did Ritman have the stereotypical high school setting with the different cliques and hierarchy?
Oh, definitely. Not as exaggerated as others you might've seen, I'd say (certainly no pet names for each clique like Mean Girls), but c'mon—they were teenagers. You had the people you'd hang with and the people you didn't hang with, and they all had their own stereotype.

Oblivion focuses on a group of seven mid-20-year-olds who reunite seven years after their high school graduation, in their hometown of Delton, Maine. A mysterious event occurs during this that gives them strange and fantastical powers, of which they discover in the following days. The organic nature of the story will allow for several main acts, and sub-acts within them, following a specific character (or a few characters) of the group. Players will plan out these acts individually with my assistance, and I may give the entire group a sub-act that affects each character differently. There will also be general sub-acts that the characters need to complete to progress to the next main act. Character choices very much influence the story, and will change the course of certain acts or create new acts and sub-acts entirely.

DELTON, MAINE.———————————————
120.4 KM².———————————————
POPULATION 7,679.
A bright little town, built between a lush green forest and Maquoit Bay. Maine's I-295 and Coastal Route 1 run directly through it, connecting with State Routes 125 and 136, making it easily accessible to tourists (of which the local newspaper and retail stores are greatful, with a new peak in tourist influx every few years). There are enough small tourist spots and stores to satisfy those that choose to visit; especially outlet stores, of which the town is near-famous for in parts of Maine.

Despite a rising birth rate, Delton has not become rowdy or chaotic due to the hooligan youth like the older population feared. Being such a small community, word travels fast, and most teens have the sense to not sully their or their family's reputation with dumb antics. Those that do often have to find their feet elsewhere in the state, as no local business wants to hire someone prone to antisocial behaviour.———————————————
-t h e   l o c a t i o n s
—————————————————————
Local businesses are usually passed from generation to generation, though the town is more than open to new residents looking to open a store. Throughout the years, many have come and gone—some missed, others not—but there a few that remain standing as staples of Delton. Many of its famed outlet stores are local-owned as well, though a few big companies are known to buy lots, notably ones like GAP and The North Face. Not just traditional stores, though—bars, restaurants, inns and even a shopping plaza§ line Delton's streets.

DELTON STATION BISTRO§
Owned by Donovan Wilkerson§, Delton Station Bistro (or just 'the Bistro', as residents call it) has been serving tourists and locals alike for over 3 decades. Housed inside an empty colonial house Donovan purchased in the 1980s, it has become a beloved staple of the town, going through many refurbishings from the original interior. Presently, it has more of a modern bougie§ look. A popular tale in the town is that Donovan had to fight with McDonald's over the ownership of the house, but he often dismisses it as just something to fascinate visitors with. Another widespread tale that is true is his willingness to hire the local schoolkids on the weekends, putting him in good graces among the younger population.

P. JOHNSON'S§
Often shortened to P.J's, P. Johnson's is Delton's very own queer micro-brewery and brewpub§. While the queer population is small in the town's already small community, it is a hotspot for tourists from across the state, and those willing to make the journey from across the country. Non-queer patrons are also happily served, of course, and P.J's does make a damn good beer. They regularly donate to queer charities, have polls about people's favourite brews, and do regular work and events in the community, though no amount of polls seems likely to ever change their limited menu.

The character sheet is in the Characters tab in case it got buried in the interest check. Since I took two weeks to deliver the OOC, I'll provide you with 2 weeks maximum to deliver your characters. This means that the deadline for applications is JULY 19TH. (conveniently, it's when I have the most time to review them.) If you really feel you can't deliver it by then, PM me and we can have a chat.

life at ritman high
Having a successful brother and sister graduate for Ritman High, Lucas faced pressure for teachers and the principal. His parents had expected that their youngest son was also going to be prosperous. Even the students of Ritman kept an eye on him. However, he failed one AP class in tenth grade. As a result, everyone looked down at him. He knew that everyone was talking about him behind his back. And with problems with his family, he became depressed and anxious for his remaining time in Ritman. 

In his remaining high school years, Lucas became increasingly unconcerned at school. His parents grew angrier towards him, especially his father. Then the rumors of his sexuality started spreading. Some students thought they saw his profile on a popular dating app, showing to be interested in only guys. Being a religious man, his father dealt with the rumors by sending him to a religious camp for the summer. 

When summer break was over, Lucas looked more depressed and worried than ever. He started wearing long sleeves and jackets to school every day. It made him the target of another terrible rumor which spread like wildfire. Students thought that Lucas was going to become a school shooter. It caused the school to react immediately by offering Lucas free counseling for his remaining senior year. Despite his parent's protest, he accepted their offer and it helped. 

Once graduation was over and done, most of the students thought Lucas was going to remain in town with his family. But to the surprise of everyone, he was last seen at the bus station with a suitcase and tears in his eyes. He departed for Massachusetts and nobody heard from him until his sudden arrival in town years later.

Lucas' power was metamorph, meaning that he was able to alter the formation of his biological cells. In order to use his powers, he needed to focus on someone and wait until the transformation happened. It was usually done in a matter of seconds, making it useful to take someone's place. He still didn't know how or why he was granted this power, but it didn't matter. The ability to become someone else was amazing to him. Even though it could seriously mess his mind up. 

Of course, he didn't know that until it was too late.

► Lucas' power had its limitations. For example, he wasn't able to copy a person's powers. His powers don't last longer than a week. And his form disappeared whenever he was knocked out, turning back to his original self. It was able to overwhelm him if he concentrated on multiple people. Also, his skin slowly changed into a bluish color, making him stand out. 
►With all of that, the greatest weakness of Lucas' power was that his mind slowly declined. Each use of his shapeshifting powers cost him a little piece of his own mind.

► Lucas' family owned the town's drive thru and kept it running since the early 70s. Rumors spread that Lucas was suppose to be running the business but his father prevented that from happening. Instead, his father decided that his oldest granddaughter was going to run it instead once she finished school.

psyche
Despite being a target of horrible rumors, Lucas liked people and wanted to have plenty of friends. He knew a few of the students at Ritman High, but none of them became his friend. That made him lonely during high school. And with the depression and anxiety, he was dealing with a lot. Moving out of town into the big city made them worse. Being homesick and alone in Boston didn't do any good for his mental health. Of course, it improved once he found a stable job and a big enough apartment. Yet, he wasn't able to move on with his life. That was when he decided to confront it by visiting his hometown for the last time.

Lucas' Myers-Briggs scale was INFJ. His archetypes were lover, everyman, and explorer. As for their personality, they cost him a lot of potential friends in high school. The main issue was that he seemed clingy and had too much baggage for a proper friendship. Since graduating from Ritman and leaving town, his personality slightly changed since he didn't want to be seen as a clingy person. Plus, he dealt with a lot of his emotional baggage; but, some of them remained unresolved. And in order to solve them, he had to go back to his hometown.

Plus, he dealt with a lot of his emotional baggage; but, some of them remained unresolved. And in order to solve them, he had to go back to his hometown. ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

btw, if anyone wants inspiration for locations or a general feel for the town, delton is directly modelled on freeport, maine (basically its freeport but with its own name and the buildings have different purposes, so i can make up my own culture and whatnot for the town). give it a good look around on google maps, its what i did

I live an hour from Freeport and I go there all the time WOW. They have good shops

EDIT: A question that I'm sure you've already answered and I skimmed over poorly: So, to clarify, all of our characters are going to be the friends coming to meet 7 years after high school graduation? Also, this must mean that the RP will start off with already established relationships I assume.

Aye. Relationships will be discussed after everyone has been accepted, same with stuff like old hangout spots everyone wants to include and all that jazz. One thing I do want to emphasise is not to be afraid of having meaningful negative relationships between characters. By meaningful not just having them say "oh yeah I can't stand them" then happily interact, but have broken bridges there to rebuild now they're adults and have a more mature view on things. Obviously still have positive relationships, though.

Restating my interest.

I am to assume that until the 19th no final decisions will be made?

Quick Question: Timeline wise I'm assuming it's set in modern times and the story, im assuming, is set in now? But is there a specific time you're going for? Cause I feel high school in the late 2000s versus early 2010's is vastly different (this is going with the assumption that this story will take place now, like 2019)

He asked me on Discord before I went to sleep last night. I've added it to the Q&A with some more elaboration.
