I have a rough idea of a plot for a superhero/X-Men like RP.
~How many do you think are here? -Too many to count honestly. ~Well what are we going to do about them, you know MEU won't stop until we are all dead, including the kids in this school. -*Sigh* ~Should we - you know... -No we can't do that. We might as well call ourselves MEU Operators if it's come to that. ~Well we can't let MEU have them. They don't even know they're in danger and I'm sure none of them even know what they are. Maybe we'd be doing them all a favor. -... ~Please don't look at me like that. -I said no. ~Then- -Let me think damnit! ~We can't wait any- *Audio cuts off*
Basically, I wan't there to be a group a high schoolers who are a sub-species of humans called Metamorphs. Metamorphs are hunted by "MEU" (Metamorph Execution Unit). The origins of the organization are unknown.
I have more ideas but I want to see if anyone's interested
I am interested in this! I have a metahuman character I never seem to get to use a lot and she fits perfectly with this!
Name Kana Matell
Age 18 (Senior)
Gender Female
Appearance Kana has some muscle definition that suggests she is very active in her day to day activities. On her left shoulder is a flaming sun, on her right is a crescent moon. Between her shoulder blades, there is a compass tattoo. Kana has piercings on both of her ears, just small ones, and a larger piercing in her belly button. She has two precious gems inlaid in the back of her hands, a form of body modification that isn't very common. The gem in her left hand is a blood red ruby and the gem in her right hand is an azure blue sapphire. Both gems are pure and flawless, she never discloses the price of them. Strangely enough, the gems don't seem to bother Kana in the slightest. She changes her style up every other week, which usually includes different coloring in her hair or a totally different style of clothing.
Kana prefers colorful clothing and has a 'mix-it-up' attitude with them. She doesn't care if her top doesn't match her sweater. Kana usually wears knee-high socks with shorts or a skirt but jeans aren't an uncommon sight with her either. She enjoys hoodies of varying style but likes the zippered ones the most. Kana will commonly wear fingerless gloves to keep the inlaid gems out of sight or arm gloves on colder days, she doesn't keep the gems a secret but she doesn't like it when people gawk at them. Sometimes Kana will wear caps.
Power Astral-Elemental Synchronicity Kana is attuned to astral patterns of the sun and the moon and draws elemental energies from them both. During the day, Kana can wield the element of fire. At night, she can wield element of ice. When both the sun and the moon are in the sky and are visible, Kana can wield both elements. When the moon eclipses the sun, her ice wielding powers are doubled. On the rarer occasion that the sun emits a solar flare, Kana's fire wielding powers are doubled. During the day, Kana's eyes glow a fiery orange color; during the night, they glow a brilliant azure blue.
Personality Kana is a bit of a problem child. She is quite rebellious and fiery, taking her pride to the next level if somebody tries to dent it. Loyalty is one of her biggest morals, she will kindly treat those who know how to keep a secret or come to her side when she needs a hand. She can't stand being called butterfly, and will often use her power as a means to intimidate if she is called that. She may come off as a bit of a bitch normally, but deep down inside, is a girl who wanted a happy family and happy life. Her desire for that makes her long for a lasting friendship with people that she can call a brother or a sister, but her exterior attitude often pushes people away. Those that do manage to breach her hard exterior, find a girl that had no control throughout her childhood. When it comes to talking, Kana is rather unfiltered and will say what she has on her mind most of the time.
Kana is an avid racer and a competitor at almost anything she sets her eyes on. She loves driving and she actually seems totally at ease when she in the driver seat of a fast car. When competing against somebody, she will take a defeat honorably and respect her opponent or encourage them if they lose. Kana enjoys the company of others who are into fun competition, and that is the best way to get to know the girl behind the bad ass. She takes up a challenge on a whim if it is claimed she can't do something which can sometimes be exploited to get the best of her.
While Kana may seem like a delinquent, she is actually very smart. She is always on time with her classes and diligent, never complaining about a bit of extra work. Kana tries to keep her intelligence masked with a somewhat thuggish attitude, finding it funny when people think she will hit first and ask questions later, only to get a nasty surprise that she outmaneuvered and outsmarted her opponent in a battle of wits. The result: A quick thinking glass cannon.
Kana doesn't like talking about her family, and often tries to change the topic when it comes around.
Likes Street racing, parkour, physical activity, competition, electronic music, old-school horror movies
"Let me tell you about my life. Unlike a lot of the students here in this town, I didn't get the chance to grow up with a happy family and lead a girly life with shoes and purses and talking about boys. I was born into this world and put in the hands of a father that wasn't my own, some pushover cop who swung in after my real dad high tailed it out of Canada when he found out my mum was with pregnant with me. My older brother, Nathan, had joined in some stupid little gang down the street and was being reigned in by my step-dad and the police every other night. The house was alright, I suppose, four bedrooms, two bathrooms, in a quiet neighborhood, but when your big bro is bringing girls over every night to screw and friends over every day to drink and do drugs, ya it wasn't the greatest place to be.
So, I spent the majority of my time at school. At least there it was quiet and secure and I didn't need to hear those girls moaning in the next room. I did what you're supposed to do at school, learn and become a responsible young adult. I joined the auto-club in our high school and even got to be the school's driver in the racing league! But, unfortunately, all good things come to an end. My brother got hooked up with the local mob and before I knew it, there were police asking me questions about every dirty little secret in my life. People at school were stupid and drew conclusions and it basically ruined the half decent reputation I had there. Some people feared me when they found out my big ol' bro was a mobster and avoided me. Others just stopped talking to me. The worst was the teachers treated me like a bloody criminal because these damn blues showed up at the class door to question me every damn day.
So I stopped going to school and started learning at my pace, trying to distract myself from the new girlfriend Nathan had every day. Sooner or later, my brother's friends started forcing me to join them in their escapades. I don't know if I was scared cause they were thugs or if I was excited cause I got to hang out with some of Nathan's hot guy-friends. Regardless, there I was committing small crimes like vandalism and illegal street racing to win Nathan some money here and there. Problem is, I kinda liked it. I hooked up with one of Nathan's friends, we partied, we fought, we broke up and that was that.
You might be wondering why my step-dad cop didn't do a thing about this. Well, like I said earlier, he was a pushover. He was too afraid to come clean and do the right thing by kicking in Nathan's bedroom door and arresting him on the spot. But nope, he sat there and literally watched Nathan sell some drugs to some bum and then point a gun at him to get out of 'his' house. Hell, if I went up to that guy and said 'Boo' he'd probably piss himself. So let's just take my step out of the equation here.
Now, where do my powers come in? That whole night and day, fire and ice thing I can do? Remember when I was talking about that boyfriend I had. Well, I didn't know at the time that he was cheating on me and basically using me. So when I found out, I went a tad bit ballistic. Should've seen the day we broke up, his car wasn't much more than a pile of ash afterward. And that was when I found out that I had powers. Fifteen years old and a fire-throwing, ice-shaping bad ass with a chip on her shoulder.
So, with these newly discovered powers, I decided that I should take Nathan's shit into my own hands and try to straighten out my family. My little brother, only three at the time, was already swearing. I mean seriously, the kid's first word was fuck and he was 'imitating' those disgusting groans whenever he and his girl got a little loud. So, I waltzed into the house and punched my brother. I was gonna set his pants on fire after but it turns out, it wasn't just something I could call up on a whim, at least... At the time, it required some practice. So that didn't pan out too well.
I got the beating of my life and nobody did a thing. I practiced for a few days in private to figure out how to tap into my new found power; when I did, I brought him into our back yard at night where I froze the guy's feet to the ground and shot apples off of his head with icicles. I purposefully missed one and put it straight into Nathan's shoulder and threatened him to never come back, 'leave us alone' I said.
He left. When I woke up a day later, it was to a fire alarm. The entire house has been ablaze and the only reason why I'm alive now is because it was daytime and I was able to manipulate the fire around me. I cleared a path through the flames and went to my little brother's room, the smoke had already gotten him... I then went to my mom's, she wasn't there, maybe outside. So I went outside, and all there was were fire fighters preparing to enter, my step dad talking with more blues and in tears. And there I was, oblivious to what had happened, with a paramedic looking me in the eyes and getting unsettled by the orange glow of them that the sun gave me.
When I learned what had happened, I was wrecked. The weight of my little brother's death was heavy enough. But when I heard Nathan and his band of thugs took mum and lit the house on fire, I was beyond repair. I mean, the fucker actually tried killing his family, he even succeeded a little bit. So he holds a special place in my heart that's hotter than hell during the day and colder than space during the night. So I was lost, I sure as hell wasn't going to live with my step, fuck that. I wandered about, driving some crappy car that was falling apart around me as I went from Western Canada to Eastern and back again. Along the way I got these sexy little jewels in my hands by some extreme body-modifier and some sick tattoos to go with it.
After drifting around the country for a few months, I was coming up on eighteen, I decided enough was enough. I wanted to do something right and smart for a change. I wanted to enroll in school again. But no money meant no education, so I started racing. My piece of shit car ended up becoming a eighty-thousand dollar power house and I went to college for astronomy to learn more about my unique ability. College was college, y'know... Parties, drinks, sex, spring break, thinking you're smarter than the rest, pretty standard stuff. Except my attitude wasn't really meant for it, I may have made a fireball one too many time on campus grounds. When a group of strange men in black came to college in search of me, I knew it was time to leave. I had encountered these ass hats before and they definitely weren't out to slap me on the wrists. Every time they showed up, it usually ended up in a far too violent fight. As I was leaving the campus, downtrodden yet again, a man intercepted me at my car, he had a proposal.
Needless to say, I was intrigued by the idea, and I didn't exactly have a whole lot else to do, so I accepted his offer. Next thing I knew I was flying to some school for metas. Now here I am, a week here and already dealing with the usual high school drama."
Right now the plot is all jumbled in my ADHD brain so bare with me and if you have aaaaaaany questions please ask because I may forget to mention some details.
In the world I am trying to create, Metamorphs have been around since the first humans have existed. It wasn't until the 1980's a group called MEU popped up believing that all Metamorphs are destined to be evil so they hunt and kill the weak and round up the strongest for testing, genetic modifications and experiments. If you read what was in the hider then it's apparent that another group, Metamorphs, want to save and even train people gifted with super human abilities to save themselves and even fight back against MEU.
glad to know the idea isn't being scrapped, I'll be making a character for this. So this is kind of like x-men? When exactly would our powers first manifest, because in the beginning thing someone says "They don't even know they're in danger and I'm sure none of them even know what they are." so I'm guessing we'll be starting not having our powers then they pop up shortly after starting

Ohhhhh good question. I want to leave the real answer to that question to be revealed in the plot. But in the CS you can chose whether or not your character has discovered their powers yet so it'll be up for interpretation.
