Crisis: Mars! - A super power RP

[Sep]

"Welcome to Mars! We do hope you enjoy your stay with us here-"

Mars, the year 2200. First we went to Mars, colonized the moon and then we went even further and colonized Mars. Terraformed it ot the best of our ability so that at the very least a mask wouldn't be necessary when venturing outside. Though watch your step, gravity isn't as strong as it is on Earth and there is a constant stream of immigrants not everyones body is adjusted, only those whose families have lived for several generations upon Mars have adjusted making everyone super strong by comparison and giving them the ability to leap tremendous distances.

Though this is all normal and the problems faced with setting up a colony on another world. What isn't normal is what in the future will be called the Mars Incident. The cause hasn't been discovered if their is a cause but people throughout Mars seemingly at random have been gaining extra-ordinary powers beyond that of normal humans. Mutating into so much more, some of these side effects are visably obvious in terms of physical changes however some adjust only the inner workings of a person. Telekinesis, telepathy, the ability to create fire all these abilities have been documented and so much more and it has become a threat. While at first this was seen as spectacle someone loosing control, or going mad, with power changed everything. Now powered people are hunted, imprisoned and the entire planet is under quarantine. Though there are mysteirous goings on behind the scene, as the investigation continues....

---

So basically I wanted to take a spin on the typical Super-Hero RP. Set on a mars colony, depicted above and yet to be named we will be playing either individuals who have been imprisoned due to having powers, people just discovering their powers or even non-powered people either helping those with powers or leading the investigation. Both those with powers and the Government authority want to know what is going on and why this is happening. Whether they want to stop it, cure it or replicate it is yet to be seen. More importantly, will freedom be earned? If so, how will life be changed?

I'm certainly interested :)

@Unknown100

Sounds good, if you do have any questions don't hesitate to ask. I'll see if I can garner some more interest before carrying on to the next stage.

[Unknown100]

Cool :)

[Sep]

Cool :)

@Unknown100

So while we wait, you got any idea what you're going to be doing? Or waiting for more info before you come to a decision.

[Andromeda]

Interested!

[Sep]

Interested!

@Andromeda

Great to hear.

Well, I was thinking about doing a wise-cracking girl that absorbs energy and uses it for both offense and defense. Like energy beams and energy shields. But the strangest thing is that she sometimes sees and entity; a being of light who may or may not be real, and who has trained her to combat the system. At least that what it seems.
That was my thought.

There will be a being called the Watcher who will have a representative who will appear in the IC to train people however he's not going to be a factor till after whoeever is in prison is broken out. So before that you'll have to have been on your own. Also I like the idea that she needs to ABSORB the energy. It's a nice tidbit to add.

We'll see if we can get about 2 more people interested before I go making a OOC, I will be going to see Age of Ultron tonight though so time constraints :P

@Sep

Good, I do like that there's a mentor character.
I'm glad you like the energy aspect of it. There is a lot that can be done with that, I think.

PS. I won't see Avenger 2 until Tuesday, so no spoilers :p

@Unknown100

My one question is it electrical energy? Or is it multiple? and if it's multiple what kinds of energy work?

[Unknown100]

Well, I was thinking, she mostly absorbed electrical energy, but discharged radiant energy. Maybe she could absorb all kinds of energy, but there is not much energy to be had in a rock falling or a bike driving, so she would mostly look for major sources of energy.
She would put her hand on an electrical outlet, charged up and blast beams from her hands.
However I also thought, she could create forcefields for protection. And... don't quite know the logical explanation for doing something like that.

@Unknown100

I'm going for a semblence of realism, but also gotta remember this is superpowers, and a colony on mars in 2200. I'm not going to expect EXACT science. I think the I like is absorbing electrical energy, maybe later on we can explore other sources which probably require more thinking on how to store it (As what's the use if when you want to use your power you need to be plugged in? A walking battery is much better).

But limits and all that can be worked on once we get CS' going.

@Sep

Oh, I always imagined her as a walking battery. When I wrote "charged up" I meant it as charging a battery :)

[Weird Tales]

I'm interested. Would a character who creates cartoon constructs be okay?

@Weird Tales

It really depends on what you mean and how far you want to take it...

Also Unknown I won't spoil it but Age of Ultron.

The hype is worth it.

It would be similar to green lantern, but with cartoons instead of hate light

@Weird Tales

Like bugs bunny in real life kinda thing?

I'm not so sure if it's just illusionary maybe, but creating them from thin air and letting them impact the universe? Not so sure as I'm trying to put things into categories:

Physical
Mental
Elemental
Spacial (Rare)
Temporal (Also Rare)

More will be clear on powers once I throw up an OOC. Which I will do tomorrow, well start working on it tonight. Whether or not it will be finished is to be seen.

[LokiLeo789]

Are still looking for interested ones, because I am.

@LokiLeo789

Indeed, just doing some work on the OOC before I go to bed. IT won't be finished tonight but will be up tomorrow.
