Seizure

[Legion]

Seizure
Three months ago, a mysterious storm hit Augusta, Maine. Numerous people around the city simultaneously suffered a violent seizure, which caused them to be hospitalized for several days. When they awoke, they described their state of mind as being different, almost alien. Preliminary testing showed that their neurological conditions were still in a state of seizure, yet no physical symptoms could be detected on the patients, as they could function normally.

The anomaly caught the attention of state officials, whom forced the patients to go through several testing procedures at national agencies and medical and psychological institutions. Upon completion, the patients were sent home, but under strict supervision of qualified personnel. It is currently unknown whether or not the patients pose a threat to their immediate physical surroundings or society as a whole, which is why their release is subject to being revoked. This story follows a few patients that attend the same educational institution. They have recently returned from being away for two months. However, they fear that something much worse is coming than being constantly supervised by officials, but they do not know what or when.

As a patient, you have been diagnosed with the following: eidetic memory, absolute aptitude, zero-loss physiological reaction, synesthesia, and absolute nous. These conditions are subject to extreme exploitation, which is why the patients are closely monitored wherever they go. The characters of this story are brought together by two factors: they attend the same educational institution and they are singled out by the presence of government agents. Their first challenge is to get into a room together and talk without the presence of anyone else.

You can probably figure out how a potential plot will play out based on this premise. I imagine it to be structured in episodes similar to shows on television—each episode has its own distinct problem that is related or somehow builds towards the overarching story. If successful, there could be several seasons. I’m sure you know how television series work.

The ‘powers’ and the school and the whole everything is basically just devices for bringing these characters together to solve a problem related to their existence. Therefore, there is or should be a lot of focus on the characters, their lives, those they interact with, and how the recent events and their conditions affect all of these aspects. Wow, much similar, very television show.

I feel old for using the word 'television.'

This seems like a really interesting premise, I'd be up for it :)

[Malena]

Very television, much interest.

[Legion]

Well, well, didn't think this would fly, but there seems to be two brave souls here. Be warned though, there is no throwing of fireballs or stopping of time in this one.

No worries, I think we'll live without fireballs. How many people are you looking for, for this?

[Legion]

Not that many, but more than just two (three with myself). Perhaps an additional person or two. However, we might have to move over to the casual section to make that happen. If this does not generate more interest, I'll revise the interest check and post it there.

[Potato]

Such television, very season

I'm interested.

[Potato]

Why did it send twice :u

[Architect]

Tentative interest. Need a little more info, but I like the idea. So, what, a group of super geniuses?

[Legion]

It sounds elementary and childish when you put it that way, but yes, spot on. What kind of further information would you like?

[Architect]

Haha sorry, just had to summarise it. Regarding the info, I don't really have specific inquiries other than the general path you plan this to take. Like, will the characters become runaways trying to understand why they've changed whilst also evading the government, or are they going to be solving things, etc etc. Along those lines.

[sobamushi]

This feels like something I'd like to explore, count me interested :)

[AmongHeroes]

I'd be interested in playing this out.

As in most other stories or series, there is a threat of some form, and the characters are often inclined to either confront or avoid that threat. The threat in the first few episodes or the first season would/could be the character's deprivation of independence and fundamental rights as humans. There is not going to be any epic quest or fighting of evil powers, most of the following threats are quite low-key. My general idea is to use cause and effect to follow up on the initial threat, so things will hopefully progress in a logical manner. However, the runaway scenario is a possibility, but only if it comes naturally in regards to how the players respond to things and develop their characters' stories, etc.

[Architect]

Thanks for the update.

And bear in mind, the scenarios I made up earlier weren't suggestions, just little examples. I think the runaway thing is a little old and withered now, but if you think you can go that way, and do it well, by all means.

Any idea when you'll throw an OOC up?

[Chezka]

Throwing my interest in, if you're still looking for people. :)

[Squrmy]

I'm interested, too, if you still need more players. =)

[Legion]

I've created an OOC here, but with an alternate account. I was not quite fond of the name 'Legion,' as I do not identify with a large group of armed men or a pack of daemons.
