The year is 2049, and the City of Marlon is brighter than ever. Located on the East Coast of the United States of America and the Canadian Commonwealth, this prosperous metropolis draws in every sort of character. Here, Lorne Corporation stands above the rest as they research and develop cutting edge cybernetics and enhancements. Their subsidiaries and rival corporations reside here as well.

On March 26th, late in the evening there was a catastrophic failure at The Tower. One night during a violent storm the top of the tower exploded, causing a cascade of energy to be spread throughout the city. This energy acted as a catalyst creating mutations among the population of Marlon. These mutations granted members of the population with abilities that were beyond human gaining them the name Parahuman. These Parahumans caused mass damage at first as many were unable to control their abilities. Then came the opportunists, those who sought to use these abilities to further their own cause. Some took on criminal lifestyles, some heroic for fame and fortune, others simply sought to help others.

It took a month to bring down the worst of the Parahumans who had changed, Maya Inverness, who went by the name of Monarch, and her companion Jacob Anderson, who named himself The Bloody Baron. It took a further three months before the City settled down into relative normalcy.

Lorne has not been silent on the matter, in fact they aim to study and reverse the effects of the Tower, working diligently with the MPD to achieve this goal. They have developed several nullifiers and facilities to contain the Parahumans they deem a threat. They have developed a scanner that can detect some parahuman abilities, though there are rumors that they will have a finished product in the coming month.

You are one of those affected by the blast. One of those who has survived the Riots and the tremulous reign of Monarch, who's fall to Brightspire still remains as very talked about subject. Several groups have risen in the city. The most notable are The Church of Para, lead by Atom, who's stance is one of aggressive tactics and Parahuman superiority. The Parahuman Protection Society, who's goal is equal rights and protection from harm for those who've been Enhanced. The last is the Aggrieved, those who's change has forced them into insanity, seeking only destruction and chaos they will tear apart the city. They sit contained in the Dark Box, the most fortified prison in the world, run by the MPD.

What will you choose, to search for answers, fight, or work with Lorne? To become a powerful superhero or villain or just keep to your old life? The world is there for your choosing, but remember your actions always have consequences. You can even lose your life if you aren't careful...





Welcome back to The Tower. With Sep's permission I'll be rebooting this and hopefully we can get a good thing going. Lots of twists and turns, and plenty of action to be had. Very open world and there is a steady progressive plot that will be occurring around the Tower.

Just some basic info to cover:

How grounded is this rp? Cause for the city to quickly assemble protocol to capture Para in a month and for pro-para faction groups to assemble right away seems really fast. Like the Tower blowing was done on purpose and the government was already prepared for the side effects. The pro-para leaders were in on it and it's all just a game manufactured for some kind of gain the public isn't privy to.

I'm going to keep all the spoilery bits out but here's a little gist:

1) It's fairly obvious that there was some ambiguous intent involved in the explosion.

2) Each of the pro para factions are new and they are aided by anti-Lorne movements. They are led by some powerful people and that's the weight they have to pull to contend to the superpower in the city that is Lorne. More details will come soon through the actual IC stuff and other characters.

3) The Gov't wouldn't interfere if Lorne lobbies hard enough and considering that they are working with the police force to... contain, the paras, that give them leeway. Lorne has control of the Mayor and most members of the council. Once I finish up the bits for the other two main contenders in the City, it'll paint a pretty clear picture if you read between the lines. The general consensus is that no one wants the gov't to get involved rn. And Lorne has more than enough resources to make sure they don't.

4) This is literally I can give you without untangling the massive conspiracy that is surrounding the city.

Not all is as it seems, and there are some serious upstarts sitting in the wings. I will say this though:

5) It's entirely possible to lose.

Name: Alex Murkoff

Age: 24

Appearance: Alex stands at about five foot six, she usually is wearing a pair of cargo pants and a band t-shirt. Her hair is of medium length usually in a pony tail or cut down when it's too long.

Para Category: Alpha-2 (Currently)

Powers/Abilities:

Healing: Alex is able to heal injuries on touch-contact with them, by channeling the powers she was given after the accident she can close up wounds and begin healing of internal injuries. She is able to stabilize most patients, for example forcing shrapnel out of a gun shot wound victim and closing up the wound and stop the hemorrhaging of blood. Her limits are she cannot reverse mental illnesses or stop disease such as cancer and other physical ailments.

Time Shift: Alex is able to age the things and people she touches very rapidly, she is able to focus her powers to excel the flow of time on what's she grabbing. For example she could age a young adult into a derelict old senior in the matter of a minute or two, the downside to the power is that she can only age things/people forwards and time and her power does not work on people who are immune to aging or have an infinite life line. One of the biggest draw backs of this is it takes energy from Alex making her tired and weak.

Skills:

Intelligent - The Tower blowing up was the best thing that could happen, it gave Alex a bit of a boost to her intelligence.

Athletic - Alex continues to train day by day, she's in good shape and training to get better.

Silver Tongue - Alex seems to be able to be charming and well spoken, she can get her way if she tries.

Weaknesses:

Wanted - Alex is wanted for crime committed with the Church of Para, she's been involved with some of their activities in her time.

Untrained - Alex isn't trained in any cool firearms fighting techniques, infact she rarely uses weapons at all.

Loner - Alex isn't known for her fondness of duos or groups, while she participates in some group action with the Church she usually pushes people away unless it benefits her goals.

Brief History:

Revelry, that was Alex's alias. It's a name that would ring in anyone's ears in the under ground world, Reverly was a criminal doctor - or medic, medical student? She use to be one before the Tower exploded and turned the world's head on it's ass within a matter of seconds. She was studying to be a paramedic, and it would of been a decent job too a job where you could earn your own in the public but fate had other plans in mind. When it went off, all bets were off and her life would be changed forever. In the early days it was everyone for themselves as anarchy had briefly taken over, in fight for survival Alex would cross upon parahumans who would later associate with the Church of Para in later times.

Together with this brief group she survived with them, using her powers to heal the group as they went off and gathered 'supplies' for their existence. Once the dust settled and Marlon had been stabilized by the MCPD and other entities, the worst para's had been removed from society put in the Box and left there to rot. Alex pulled herself onto her feet, no longer really wishing to return to relative normalcy and obscurity she decided to open a business for the underground Paras, servicing those of Church and Para Protection for a fee of course. No para could walk into a hospital in these days.

Since the attack she's worked up her reputation as a skilled street doc, healing wounds from bullets to burns her powers allow some of the most complex surgeries to be done with relative ease. Of course she isn't able to fix everything, but the supply and demand right now is growing with all the fighting that has been going on and it will surely grow once one of the factions tries to take over the city, how it will go who knows but Reverly will be around to make sure people keep fighting and that the money flows into her pocket.
