The Darkest Minds

@Ever@Rawk@Xandrya First IC is up. Basically what we are doing is seeing everyone's initial reactions to arriving at the camp. After that we will jump two years into the future to current time since rping being in the camp for two years would be a little boring. Think of it like a flashback at the start of a movie or show sorta thing.

The Darkest Minds

“They were never scared of the kids who might die, or the empty spaces they would leave behind. They were afraid of us-the ones who lived.”

---

"No matter who or what you are. They didn't care. To them we are monsters. To them, we are a threat. At least that's what they say to themselves to justify what they've done. Despite your background, we've all ended up on the same road. The path they have forced us down brought us together for a reason. Let's make that a reason we choose."

Two years ago

Sleeping in your bed, on the way to school, resting at home it didn't matter. Eventually, they came as they did for all the other children. At least for all the children still living. Whether it was expected or not the outcome was the same. Men and women clad in all black military garb gathered you along with many other children your age and stuffed you into an old community gym for about a day.

The atmosphere was chilling. No talking, no moving around, nothing. Even the bruised and battered kids weren't given any medical attention. At about midnight it seemed was when everyone was finally moved. Walking outside you saw long lines of buses. Some already had kids within them. You, along with all the other kids, were jammed into a bus that had been slightly modified. There was a gate in the front and two guards with M16's along with the driver carrying a pistol stared each of you down as you entered the bus and forced to sit. The drive was quiet except for a few younger kids silently whimpering. It was like this for a few hours.

When the bus finally slowed to a stop you noticed the sun peeking through a few storm clouds. How long had you been near all these people and didn't know a single name? As you exited the bus a PSF pushed you towards a somewhat medium sized building. It looked like an old administration building. As you walked in the building an overpowering smell of permanent marker and rubbing alcohol filled your nose. You could see kids standing in lines and others walking out of side offices. The ones in lines were forced into rooms just as others left them. Those that had left the rooms had some colored X's on their backs. A majority of the older kids eyed the X's knowing exactly what they meant.

There were five colors in all. Green's and Blue's had no difference other than the X on their back. Yellow's had rubber gloves on their hands. Red's were handcuffed around the back. While Orange's had some sort of muzzle while also being handcuffed. No one smiled. The place around you was full of tension and fear coming from both sides.

Just as your group that you entered the building with was about to start being examined something happened. Suddenly from the back of the room and from a few of the side rooms surges of electricity shot out. The whole building felt like a large magnet in a matter of moments. Then fire burst onto multiple PSF's causing them to writhe in pain. A kid in the back who had his hand on the neck of a PSF screamed, "Everyone RUN NOW!"

Some kids did as he said. A few dropped to the ground in a panic. Some stood in shock. It didn't matter what you did because seconds after the kid yelled to everyone a shot rang out through the room and a noise that seemed to be produced directly inside your brain caused you and all the other children to writhe in pain. Some instantly began vomiting. The experience was horrid.

After a few minutes the noise stopped and despite the echoing effect of the pain in between your ears, you were able to stand when a PSF lifted you to your feet. In front of everyone were five kids, one was shot, and a few PSF's with an important looking man standing near them. "I was planning on waiting to introduce myself to you all after everyone was screened, but it seems I may need to do this now."

He walked back and forth in front of you all. "Listen up! I am Lieutenant Colonel Aiden Anderson. Here, my word is law. As long as you do what I say your time here will be at least slightly pleasant. Now, I want every last one of you to look at these five and listen to what I say. Never try to escape, hurt a PSF, or break any rules set before you. Otherwise, this will happen to you." He signaled to the PSF's standing behind the five. The guards swiftly moved into action beating the kids as a punishment. Once they were done all five were bound and moved out of the building. Anderson looked at the kids before him and said, "I recommend you forget about your lives before now because that is gone. Today begins the rest of your life. Get used to it." The man left after setting a large ultimatum over each of your heads. What shall you do now?

@XandryaLucy McAllister

After a few more moments you are called forward and led to a small room holding only a desk and a table with some device on it. An older woman wearing a lab coat looks to you and says, "Hello. I need your name and if you would so kindly lay on that table there. I need to scan your brain real quick to make sure everything is all right." Whether you do these actions quickly or slowly doesn't affect the woman much. She appears to be half asleep right now. After the machine is done scanning you she asks you a few questions pertaining to how it feels when you touch people. Once she's done with you she gives you a few clothes and marks an Orange X on your back. She then produces something that looks like it's supposed to cover your mouth and handcuffs. "Now, sweetie. I apologize for this but you are going to need to wear these otherwise you may get hurt. Your new powers are not only dangerous to others but they are also dangerous to you." She waits for you to put on the muzzle like item and then proceeds to handcuff you behind your back and then sends you away.

@RawkBryson Darga

Instantly after the Lieutenant Colonel left the room the non-injured PSF's began moving again as if nothing had happened. One grabs a hold of your arm and leads you to a side room shoving you inside. A short hyper man is instantly in your face. Asking you all sorts of rapid-fire questions. He seems to be in a rush and wants to be done with you as quick as possible. He practically forces you onto a table with some sort of machine on it. Once the machine stops he asks for your name and then walks behind you marking a Blue X across your back. Then just like that, you are shoved right back outside the room.

@EverAddison Torrez

You are given a good amount of time after everything that just happened due to being towards the back of the line before being moved into a room. Once you enter a younger woman is sitting behind a desk typing away on a laptop. Without looking at you she asks for your name and instructs you to lay on the examination table. She simply waits silently pecking away at the keyboard until you answer and does as she says. Once the scanner completes its job she asks if you could showcase your ability. Whether you do this or not she still places a Red X on your back, handcuffs you, and instructs you on what you are to do next.

@alexfangtalonAlex Hill

After the scene that happened before you, a PSF grabs you and takes you to a different smaller room. There a plump older man looks at you and request you give him your name and asks for your color. Whether you respond to the color question or not he has you lay on a table and proceeds to scan you. When the machine finishes its job the man shoves rubber gloves at you. Once you grab them he turns you around marking a yellow X on your back. He then says, "Don't remove those and you'll be fine."

@alexfangtalonKatie Pruett

You have time to gather yourself after watching the scene unfurl before you. After a few minutes, a PSF pulls you into a small room. The young woman gets straight to business and requests your name and tells you to lay on a machine to be scanned. After a few seconds, the machine finishes whirring and the woman forcefully marks a Blue X on your back then ushers you out.

---

All of you, whether those last few moments were smooth or not, are lead out of the building along with other kids by some PSF's. Walking outside going past a few more buildings and some tents something clearly noted by all are the large numbers of PSF's and the tall barbed wire fences surrounding nearly everything.

You walk down a pathway and then are separated into groups of ten. You are then moved into a cabin alongside those nine other kids. The keys to the handcuffs some are wearing are tossed into the cabin and the door is then locked. Tension and fear is high, but does anyone dare speak?

Danganronpa Alternate: Apologies to Hope

Yamagata Ando, Tsuin Taka, & Iclyn Snow

Interacting with : Each other
_{Collaboration between : @alexfangtalon, @Ammokkx, & @addamas}

As Ando looked around at his surroundings trying to determine what he wanted to do, he heard a loud bang just to his right. Some guy stomped out of the building next to the one Ando had exited and seemingly was throwing a hissy fit. Next, the guy screamed out to the world sounding like a disgruntled teen who had just broken their phone. From the looks of him he seemed just as lost as Ando felt, but oddly enough something about the person seemed familiar. Ando was pretty sure he had never met the guy before, but before Ando could approach the boy another character appeared from the next building over.

The girl seemed to be slightly frightened maybe? No, a more proper term may be anxious. Either way, she soon approached the loud teen and instead of asking questions more or less demanded answers. It was still pertinent information that they needed answers to. Ando then decided to approach the two seeing as they were most likely in the same boat he was.

He already could tell he wasn't going to like either of these people. One was abrasive and just an outright twit. The other seems to think she was the queen or something because she was looking down on the person she was obviously asking help of despite phrasing it differently. He was about to speak up and stop them until he heard the final thing she said. Other than it actually being a question it made Ando start thinking. Typically Ando lived day to day so remembering things that had already happened was somewhat irritating but now that he was trying it really confused him.

What had he been doing yesterday? Wasn't he supposed to be going to Hope's Peak? It was obvious he wasn't supposed to be here. Also, if she was asking that question then he wasn't the only one being stumped right now. "Well, I don't know about ponytail here but the last thing I remember is I was supposed to be going to my new high school. Hope’s Peak to be precise."

Taka turned to the purple-haired guitarist with the same scowl he showed the platinum-haired girl.

“I have a name. It’s Taka Tsuin, not ponytail.” he growled to Ando, arms crossed. “And, for the record, I don’t recall anything from last night. I was sleeping and woke up only a few moments ago,” he continued in a less aggressive tone of voice, turning back to face Snow.

Both Ando and Taka don’t remember anything, that guitarist even said that he went to Hope’s Peak before waking up here, just like Snow. At this point it was unlikely that they were both lying, since they seemed total strangers to each other; so accepting their words, Snow took a step back from Taka and regained her usual posture.

“I see, that must mean we were somehow put to sleep before entering Hope’s Peak.” Snow placed a hand under her chin, increasing her thought process. “I don’t know why anyone would kidnap kids only to leave them to their devices on a closed off campsite; I suppose Hope’s Peak is a prestigious school, and our captors could no doubt exchange us for a large ransom. But it makes no sense to just leave us here unchecked.” She looked at the two boys in front of her with a questioning look, clearly expecting a response.

As if ignoring Taka proclaiming his name, ”There are cameras and monitors all over the place, and the fence appears too tall to climb. Most likely if we tried something they would stop us because I’m sure that going to this great length to gather us here means they won’t just let us leave.” Ando then looked off into the distance and then posed a question, ”I doubt they’d only settle with three. Especially with how large our surroundings appear to be. How many more of us do the two of you think there could be?”

“Well why don’t we find out?” Taka chimed in again, pointing off towards the other end of the forest-like area. “Earlier, I saw figures movin’ from over there. No doubt there’s more of us in other areas, though.”

The boy crossed his arms and frowned, looking off to the side before adding one more piece to the conversation.

“However, if what you’re tellin’ me is true, then you two have Super High School Level talents too. How’d you figure they could sneak up on the bunch of us? ...though, knowing her, I don’t doubt they’d have any trouble getting me…” the boy finished with a mumble, his face tightening as he spoke that last sentence.

Who’s her? “It’s irrelevant how they got us here, they simply did.” It looked like Snow didn’t want to talk about how she was captured, most likely because it implicated Snow’s incapability of defending herself. Rather she turned towards Ando, as his question sparked some worrying thoughts.

“If I were you I’d stay clear of anyone you encounter, they’re more likely our captors then hostages, i’m sure I don’t need to explain more.” She wasn’t really warning the others out of empathy, but letting them make mistakes would only bite her in the ass. In fact, now that she’s interacted with Taka and Ando, she was already stuck with them. If they left and got captured or even interacted with anyone, they could mention Snow without even thinking about it. Her only choice now was accompanying them to make sure they didn’t do anything stupid, though she’d never admit that.

“But, if you simply must go and find other people, I suppose I can accompany you. Though I still think we should know what we’re up against before getting more people involved.” she groaned.

*clap, clap, clap* Ando gave the most believable grateful smile, ”Oh, I must thank you for your sharing of the abundant wisdom within you. If ponytail and I had gone out there alone we may have blindly trusted the first person we came across.” The moment he finished his statement the smile instantly wiped from his face and he stopped clapping.

He then started backing away from the two. ”Look, your obviously not thinking rationally at this point. If we know how they got us then we can develop a notion as to why we are here and how powerful they are. There is also the potential that someone may do something stupid so getting everyone we can find together to formulate a plan is the best idea here. If you wanna go be Sherlock Holmes then be my guest. Having someone like you around will just turn people off from working together.” Ando then looked at Taka waiting to see what his opinion on the matter was.

Taka’s glare was pointed squarely at Ando now, with the cross-dresser putting his right foot forward once the other had taken a step back.

“Hey, bastard! If you’re looking to pick a fight, then you’re doing great! Don’t go insultin’ others like that, ‘cause your smartass attitude isn’t going to help anybody either!”

Taka groaned and turned away from the two others. The boy turned his head only a little bit as he spoke up again. “I’m getting fed up talking to either of you. I’m going to check out the other side of that forest.”

With that said, Taka took off in the general direction towards the amphitheater.

Snow didn’t expect to be treated with such sarcasm; she was under the impression that Ando was a decent person, but as he started clapping, his personality took a turn for the worse. Even though she was used to such behavior, it still made her look at her feet to avoid Ando’s gaze.

But then Snow cheeks turned red as Taka spoke out against the mocking guitarist; he actually stood up for Snow. Of course if he didn’t leave right after, she would still scold him and tell him to mind his own business, but it looked like he was already going to; so Snow merely stood there while the two boys went in opposite directions; table-leg still in hand.

You could say that Snow had a rough start, but really; this was nothing special. It was unfortunate that she would no longer get assistance, but at least she didn’t have anyone to hold her back. With that attitude, Snow started walking down the east road.

Scoffing Ando turned away from the two and headed west to go to the Mess Hall.

DC/Marvel Crossover: The Rings of Infinity

Same. Just gotta figure out which ring.

Looking for roleplay partner(s)

I'm always interested in looking for people to RP with so this sounds cool. When it comes to a genre I am pretty much fine with anything except for medieval fantasy. I am also similar to Star in the fact that I have a dedicated cast of characters that I tend to play and generally only make a new one if I don't think any of the ones I have will fit whatever scenario the RP calls for. I definitely prefer character over the plot in a large majority of circumstances, but sometimes I just love building worlds.

Also, I've never done a one-on-one RP before. I do tend to prefer 3 to 4 people but sometimes if the world is large enough I really like it if the cast is large so that there are different styles and minds fueling the creation of the story. Oh, I also like to control multiple characters sometimmes. Usually two or three main characters. I do use NPC's quite often.

The Darkest Minds

@Ever Never to late. That is the beauty of the world this rp is set in. People can always show up when least expected.

The Darkest Minds

@Rawk I actually already have the first IC done. I just wanted to give people a little more time to make their characters and didn't wanna risk being pushy/annoying. But we can go ahead if you and @Xandrya want to. (Oh, btw your character is accepted although I have to personally ask you to reread the rules.)

Yamagata Ando

Location : Crafts Activity Cabin
Interacting With : No one

---

As the sun peers through the window, it hits the closed eyelids of Yamagata. The sudden light causes the purple haired teenager to start waking up. In his groggy state, he rolled over on the floor and brought his hand to his face. He slowly sat up twisting his head trying to get the crick out. That's when he noticed where he was. Why was he laying on the floor, and where was he? He stood up whilst taking in his surroundings. All around him was a bunch of art supplies in a place that sorta seemed like a cabin. Where was he and why couldn't he remember how he got here. He searched the cabin until he realized there wasn't really anything useful around.

He decided that he should start searching the area outside of the cabin to try and figure out where he was. Maybe there was someone else around. As he walked out of the cabin he felt the chill of the air rush over him even more than it had inside. He looked around seeing that there were four other buildings close to the one he had just exited. Two of which were approximately the same size. Before deciding where to go next he noticed something leaning against the front of the building. Going over and picking it up he realized it was a purple acoustic guitar. Actually, it wasn't just any guitar it was his. The one his uncle gave him for his birthday. Why was this here? Nervously looking around he used the sling to keep the instrument on his back. "Where the crap am I?"

The Darkest Minds

If anyone needs it they can pm me a wip with any questions they have and I can help them.

The Darkest Minds

@Rawk It's fine. RL always comes first.

@sly13 Well, Red's are considered the most destructive of all Psi's. Typically every Psi's powers are heightened in states of emotional and physical stress/distress. So, at first they wouldn't be that great at controlling their ability. What this means for Red's is that if they purposefully try to use their power it could go wrong. Also, they can't be hurt by their own flames. Through training they could basically become similar to fire benders from The Last Airbender. Another thing of note is that, along with Oranges, the more they use their power the more they get addicted to it. For Red's it, the addiction to the power, manifests it self via some physical tick. Like twitchy hands, shifty eyes, or even sweating. For Oranges it manifest itself typically through headaches or the powers activating on their own.

So, as for your question. The power of a Red wouldn't boost their abilities in any way. It just basically works as a new ability they have that they have to typically train to use it better. It equates well with the natural abilities of running and strength.
