The OOC is up.
Hello and welcome, this is the part that I talk about myself. My name is Defacto, but you can call me Defacto. As you might guess by my number of post, this is the first RP I'm trying to moderate in this site. I have a space in my heart reserved for George R.R. Martin's Wild Cards-even if I'm on book one-and as such, I enjoy heroes having a slice of life involved. The main idea would be to create a universe filled with "stories" and "things going on," as it should be on an universe. And, provided you can handle, freedom to have more than one character. The timeline might be 1995.
TERMINOLOGY
Red Skies Virus:
In 1997 the Comet Hale-Bopp was visible to the naked eye in Earth's skies, but the beauty of the comet's brightness was hiding something. On Mar 22nd, the same year the skies of New York became red. Those were the Red Skies Days. In the following months the humanity discovered a virus that works by completely altering the victim's DNA. The transformation is extremely individual, no two persons are affected in exactly the same way. In 90% of cases, the victim's body can't assimilate the extreme changes, and the person dies horribly. From the survivors, 9 out of 10 are changed for the worse, becoming monstrous creatures. The miraculous 1% of infected are changed for the better and become meta-humans, gifted with superhuman physical or mental capabilities.
The red skies virus does not always affect the person immediately. In about 30% of cases, the virus stays dormant on the person's DNA. These people can live normal lives for years until some physical or emotional trauma triggers the virus. And then they face the same odds as any other, almost always dying or becoming monsters.
Meta-human
"Saved by zero" is a person who was infected by the red skies virus and gained superhuman powers as a result. To be classified as an meta-human, the person must still be basically human in appearance and generally be able to "pass" in society as normal. Meta-humans are gifted with fantastical abilities that have never been seen before, except in ancient legend and comic books, such as enhanced strength, flight, mind-reading, and shape-shifting. Meta-humans are very rare; only 1% of those infected by the virus become meta-human.
Divergent
A Divergent is a person that was infected by the virus and gained physical deformities. About 9% of those infected by the virus become divergents. Each divergent is unique; no two divergent have exactly the same deformities. Not all divergents are physically deformed, though. Any mutation that changes a person for the worse can be considered a divergent.
In a matter of "cities", we can work with fictional ones or real world. In the second version, the virus hit on an American cities and then eventually spreading around the world (Maybe in an attempt to keep the players together.).
Since this is an interest check, you can expect that everything I wrote change before the final version even this this line.
We have a TitanPad, empty, but better than nothing.
A comet crosses the skies of Earth. By eighteen months we watched the unique event, amazed by it's beauty. The truth is that the brightness of the comet changed something in our atmosphere, shedding a virus across Earth. The result: Red Skies. Supers blessed with superhuman powers or cursed with bizarre physical and mental disfigurements. The virus is extremely deadly, killing 90% of the infected. The remaining 10% are transformed in spectacular ways. Most become hideously deformed monsters. A few lucky survivors are popularly known as "saved by zero," meta-humans gifted with incredible powers.
