[OOC] The Gifted: A Fast Paced Superpower RP (Relaunch)

[AcerRo]

Then I guess I'll have to pull some rabbits outta the hat.

[Sapphire]

I'm still really confused about the whole tree baby Jesus thing. Where did it come from? Who is the 'mom' in this case. Also, why does tree baby Jesus exist in general?

[Raijinslayer]

Eden is the child of Jaden and Isabella, and is being birthed by Cindy Wade, the surrogate mother and an NPC. Eden is going to be used by Isabella to create a upper echelon of Meta's to rule the world, using Eden's miracle fruit to keep themasses in line with the promises of power. I think that somes it all up, if I did miss anything, please feel free to correct

[Gentlemanvaultboy]

I'm just waiting for someone to sound the alarm.

[NarcissisticPotato]

So am I waiting for another collab or is it free game?

Has sweet baby tree jeusu been conceived yet?

@AcerRo

Roll however you want to roll, Acer! Remember that Good Ol' Albert the Butler is waiting outside in an SUV if you want to make a daring escape!

Not even close, you still have another two weeks. And I think it's free game now, as I'd say a collab-fight between Jaden and Eli, but he can't really put Olivia down, because Isabella would definitely kill her.

@Raijinslayer

Olivia was shot around the chest area so either her lungs have been hit and are filling with blood which means that at best, she has about fifteen minutes. Either that or it's hit some sort of vein and she's currently bleeding out. So, if Elijah turns to fight Jaden, Olivia will die. I don't know if Elijah knows the extent of Olivia's injuries so we'll see how it plays out! Go on ahead and post, Acer!

[AcerRo]

Can I drop the New Sun building?

[Savato]

This RP looks fun. There was a similar RP that died off after a few weeks and I was really fond of it.

Is this place still accepting? If it is, are there spots that someone would like to have filled? I'm flexible in terms of positioning.

[Raijinslayer]

Can I drop the New Sun building?

@AcerRo

Does that mean you're bring the building down, cause I think that will bring down a legal shit storm on your head, True she did shot Olivia, but she was trespassing on private property so the reprecussions of dropping the damn building on everyone's head could be rather severe.

@Savato

I'm sad to hear that your other RP died off!

As it says under the title, we're still accepting and will be accepting for quite a long while! We're coming up to a major plot point now so it's quite a good time to jump in!

In terms of spots that need filled, I want to stress that the choice is yours, honestly! However, we do need a few more main characters in the Underground Movement!

[NarcissisticPotato]

@AcerRo

Sorry to double post but Acer, I'll get a post up with Olivia's powers going to DEFCON 1 and flaring so that Elijah can escape with Olivia!

[AcerRo]

Trespassing is out the window. Its not trespassing when she's invited into the back.

But I can see what your saying. I'll think of something different.

[Raijinslayer]

True, we have too many heroes and neutrals, why don't more people want to be villainous villains?

In fact, i think I'll use a villain character I have for this as well, though he won't have as much screen time as my 3 main guys. My only warning to everyone. . . watch your backs, the hunter is coming for you.

@NarcissisticPotato

I just need a reaction. I'll blast Jaden and then fly out of there. Get back HQ and rally the troops to go help then wondered

@NarcissisticPotato

It's quite alright, the GM was exaggerating their own characters importance a little too much anyway.

Oh yes speaking of plot! Could I have a recap of the most recent events? I'll likely read most of it anyway but it would be nice if I could have a quite summary of the events that are unfolding!

I post my character here, right? C:

[AcerRo]

Yes post it here.

[Sapphire]

On the topic of villains;

I was planning on making the guy mostly responsible for killing the MHLA as a player character. He may end up being just a bad guy but what I've done with idea so far is very promising. You guys are going to love him or hate him, depending on whose side you're on.

[Archmage MC]

Hm. Not sure what to do now with Light. Gentleman isn't giving me all that much to work with and I'm not sure where to put her now short of starting a plot thread.

@Savato

Basically, the Underground Movement's leader, Isabella Lancaster, and her second-in-command, Jaden McFadden, used their cells to impregnate a surrogate mother in order to create a baby with the power to 1.) transform into an older form, with clothes, and 2.) transform further into a tree whose fruit brings perfect healing to Metahumans and gives Metahuman powers to Normal People. This project is deliberately wasteful, complicated, and inefficient because Isabella doesn't really want a world filled with Metahumans, she wants an apartheid in which she and a minority rule at the top, with the apples being used as bargaining chips and safety valves...

...As in, the apples can be used to skim off the most talented normal people and make them part of the ruling minority, thus removing the smartest and best from the opposition.

Anyway, tangent over. The main plot is moved by the Reformist Council hearing of this, and deciding to attack when the baby is born in two weeks (the pregnancy is accelerated) however, due to a Reformist Meta trying to negotiate with the Underground Movement, and getting shot for her troubles, the Reformist attack is going to start now.

Edit: Is @Alternax still here? I posted for him two days ago, but he hasn't replied.

[Savato]

Name: Camille Mahroug
Alias(s): Little Sunshine
Age: 25

Affiliations: Mercenary

Factions: Underground Movement

Description:

Hider

Black hair, light-brown eyes, elegant legs, an adorable 4'6" in height, what is there not to love about her? Perhaps it is her 11 year old body that may pose a problem to more than one individual. Camille is cursed with a body that doesn't age, meaning no developed chest, no well curved behind, nothing that makes a woman look as gorgeous as she'd wish to be. No amount of makeup would even compensate those glaring factors, but she still prays that more would eventually cover up those insecurities. In terms of clothes, she always tries to remain as fashionable as possible, as expected from a typical French girl.

Powers:
Senescence
Camille's power gravitates around the ability to greatly influence the concept of aging in various ways via specific mediums, many of which cannot be performed without certain drawbacks and/or conditions. Originally her body was biologically incapable of aging at a normal rate, almost stopping at the age of 10 making her essentially immortal. This kind of condition wasn't unheard of and made her a prime candidate for Meta boosting.

Aging Acceleration: Camille's most dangerous ability that involves aging anything through a duration she wills, going as far as near infinity and reducing almost anything to dust. This ability can only be applied via contact with her body and only the parts that touched her would age (however it will spread quickly through organic and inorganic material. It can only spread so much through inorganic, but organic bodies aren't massive enough to limit it). The best way to avoid being affected is to not have contact with the rotting material, and if you are affected, amputation is the key.
Although still weak, she's able to apply her ability via another medium. One of her arms can be enveloped in a murky, purple substance that launches itself in the form of a stretchable arm of oozing smog. Whatever touches that product is submitted to the same aging process, however she isn't able to move when it is applied and it also weakens her for a long duration of time (it feeds off her blood quantities, thus weakening her in general. The more it is used, the worse it gets.) It can be cut or damaged, but can simply be reformed.

Rejuvenation: The reversed effect of accelerated aging, however it does not necessarily reverse aging in its whole. In reality, it affects cells in a way that it forces them back into their prime. This comes with the effect of accelerated healing (in terms of hours, not minutes. Meaning a large wound will still stay just as bad, but will heal faster in the long run), reduction of intoxication efficiency as many poisons and diseases are flushed out by a powerful immune system and overall good shape. Camille is naturally affected by this all the time, however she is able to channel it to another individual (it only lasts for a short period).

Movement Dilation: Her ability was inevitably engineered to be used as a useful weapon. Camille wields the ability to slow down whatever goes in a five meter radius of her. The effect isn't very significant, it actually plays out in fractions of a second, but it often enough for her to react and avoid potentially lethal hits. It must be activated in order to take effect, and if activated for too long, she'll start to lose her sense of orientation and quickly lose focus.

Movement Lag: Finally, her key movement ability. She is able to reverse her dilation to affect her body directly, causing her movements to be ridiculously fast (near sound speed). But this is only limited to her entire body, meaning she cannot coordinate it specifically for punches or grabs for instance. Instead, she'll use it to move in great speeds to a point. That point must not have any obstacles and can be accessed in a straight line. The more she is prepared, the less taxing on her body it will be (like preparing for a race), meaning that last second dodges will strain her greatly. Why? Her body is submitted to an intense movement and she isn't capable of breathing in that speed, causing her muscles to suffer a whole lot. If she's really desperate, the result will end up being her body covered in searing soars. That and she isn't that buffed physically in general, making her one very fragile flower.

Skills:
-Champion gymnast
-Excellent dexterity
-Amateur dancer
-Very quick learner (child's brain)
-Talented deceiver thanks to her looks
-Trained in hand-to-hand combat (by employers)

Equipment:
-A stolen handgun
-White gloves specifically made to keep her aging abilities in check as she gets into contact with more or less anything.

Ranking: A

Brief History: Born in France, Camille was already considered exceptional with her apparent absence of aging. At first she deemed it "cool" but it eventually struck her greatly when all of her friends grew up normally while she didn't evolve physically and barely mentally. Though the schism with her parents remains more or less mysterious, she ended up being one of the many guinea pigs in the USA's medical research programs. Eventually this lead to her to meeting many greedy individuals who wanted nothing more than a piece of her immortality. Being paid mountains of gold, she was brought to different training and experimentation programs in the hopes of finding the solution many were just dying to find. Let's just say she was more weaponized than anything else in the process of cracking the secrets of her body.
It didn't take long for her to end up indoctrinated in this 'fear of death' bullshit she was hearing about all the time by her employers. She ended up growing obsessed with that concept, the idea of her being able to choose whether she could choose when she'd die. This lead her to develop rather unusual needs (to be seen IC, pretty disturbing shit though). Once tired from them, she defected without really giving her bosses a choice.

[Letter Bee]

@Savato, I'm a bit iffy about the aging acceleration, but otherwise good. As for the US still using Metas as guinea pigs, that's what the Reformists are trying to clamp down on, aka reform away. That doesn't mean they're successful, though, so no changes to your story are needed.

@AcerRo, @Raijinslayer, can we talk on Sync.in? No reason, just general chat.
