MisFits: Storm Incoming!

My idea was going to be for an extroverted flirt that has a habit for phasing through things, but... only when he's embarrassed. While he typically doesn't get embarrassed easily, if he gets too embarrassed he can accidentally phase through stuff like chairs, floors, or even his own clothes (In a way we'll obviously do the whole conveniently-standing-behind-furniture schtick).

@FrozenEcstasy

So a phasing flirt huh? Sounds good to me.

I personally was thinking about making someone who can place a feeling of crippling paranoia onto people they make skin contact with. Thinking he gets caught on drug possession.

Hook

"You are a young offender in the great nation of England, granted an Anti-Social-Behavioural-Order, ASBO for short. For whatever your crime, you have been granted the pleasure of anywhere between 40 to 300 hours of unpaid community service. Here you will do such charming things as; Cleaning Graffiti, Picking Litter, sorting through donated clothes, and helping with whatever community centre activities your probation worker will task you with. Aren't you just so happy to be giving back to the people of the great city of Manchester?"

"Yeah Right."

"There's nothing duller than doing a job that you shouldn't have to do and for no pay. It's horrible and tedious but it's your own fault for breaking the law, or the very least getting caught. This is life now, so you have to deal with it. But be wary, young offenders, the storms on its way. cannonballs will fall from the sky and when you finally get struck by that blinding flash, you'll get back up and things will never be the same again. The storm is coming, regardless of if you're ready to brace it, or if you run from it."

Introduction

Hello There! Welcome to MisFits: Storm Incoming!

I am Black, your GM for this here roleplay. It will be based on the hit UK 2009 TV show, "MisFits", A show about how a group of young offenders are gifted superpowers by a freak storm, with hijinx in tow. This roleplay will mostly be a character-driven one, no real need for D'n'D type combat system or anything. In MisFits, while the powers are beneficial, they can also be seriously inhabilitating in certain situations. The whole drama and intrigue of it all will be from the situations the characters land themselves in. So yes, your choices will have a big sway on the RP.

I intend to start with the murder plot from the first episode, of course, with our characters instead of the actual canon five. Probation worker will get hit by the lightning and will go berserk because of it, leaving our protagonists with two bodies on their hands, as well as the conscious weight of what could happen if they're ever found out. This will then devolve into Episodes, in which will be planned with player participation, asking what would want to be seen. We can, however, discuss how we continue once there's enough player input. I guess, now that I have gotten the explanation out the way, I can get into some further rules. I am going with the rule standard of the whole server, but I need to set power rules.

Powers

Powers in the MisFits universe aren't exactly your marvel superhero standard. These powers are quite literal and unruly. You may have telepathy, but you can't hone in on one specific person and it is constantly active. You may be able to turn invisible, but you can't do it at will. I will be banning some powers, just to keep anyone from becoming untouchable. These are the powers that will not be appearing.

• Time Travel; - For reasons you can probably deduce yourself, Curtis's power from the original series will not be allowed in this RP. Sadly, time is a thing that is sketchy with any roleplay and when it is allowed, it's hardly ever done competently. Therefore, no time bending is allowed.
• Instant Teleportation; - Instant teleportation, while a character in MisFits does have it, it will not make an appearance here unless regulated. If you do have a character you think must have this power for whatever reason, they will not be able to do it competently. Instant dodging is an asspull.
• Super Strength; - Too good of a power to be used in this situation, especially by a protagonist character. If this is used, it will be for a villain, not for an MC. A character can have enhanced strength, but no one is lifting a car.
• Winged Flight; - From the TV series, no one really gets any sort of external biological symptoms of their power (other than the bald girl), and thusly I think someone growing wings would be a silly addition to a roster.
• Power Trading; - Nobody gets a power trading ability. We are not doing that, or at the very least, not this early. If this does pop up in the future, it will be from me due to a demand for a power change.
• Complete Mind Control; - Obviously, having the ability to control someone else's character is in no way ideal from a roleplay perspective, so I cannot allow it. However, that does not mean that you cannot have a mind altering power of some kind. While you cannot take over someone's actions, your power can have an effect on peoples perception. For example, someone may hold the ability that causes another to feel an increased sense of panic, or may have leniency for charisma, and therefore your characters should act accordingly to that.
• Immortality; - Already been done in the show and I don't think having an immortal crutch will match well for this roleplay. If you die, you should be dead, no one lives forever. Besides, we can be more creative than that.
• Precognition; - Nobody can tell the future.

The Plot

When it comes to the plot, I have a multitude of things being brewed up, and it'll be a democratic choice on what we do. It is a character drama, so it's important that we choose something that would fit for all the characters. As we will be doing things in an episodic format, I have it currently planned out for the first few episodes like so:

• Episode One; - Our five heroes start their first day of community service, giving back to the community for their anti-social crimes. A normal day, but a storm is forecasted. Great balls of hail fall from the sky above, crushing cars and people around you. You run for shelter, trying your hardest to avoid the balls of ice hurdling toward you, but a bright flash of light knocks you all back before you can get inside. A shock runs through your body. You don't know it yet, but something within you has been unlocked. Your probation worker, acting a bit more erratically than he was before, issues you inside. You end your day here, and the next day ends with two dead bodies on your hands. That, and another probation worker on your ass, looking for their missing husband to be.
• Episode Two; - Starting the day after, the craziness doesn't stop. Looking to unwind with your new partners in crime, you find yourself on a night out. Music blaring, lights flashing, hearts racing. That is until the music stops, and the DJ catches a bullet in the back of his head. A man stands on the platform, dressed as a priest, screaming of hedonism an the disgusting nature of today's youth. A murder and then a hostage situation to boot, life seems unforgiving. Question is, how are you getting out of it?
• Episode Three; - Episode three seems somewhat normal. You start the day blissfully, walking into the changing room and opening your lockers. One of you finds a note, a simple picture of the man you killed. "I Know." written under it in ink. A shudder moves through your spine. Even worse yet, the place where you buried the bodies has been compromised, and they need to be moved unless you want to get caught. Deal with it as you will.
• Episode Four; - Well, we'll just have to see how the rest plays out before we can plan that part out in detail...

Character moments are, of course, going to come naturally as characters are made and so I can't really plan them in detail, but I will be updating the OOC regularly in order to keep a consistent timeline of the events, much like a "last time on misfits" sort of cold open for those who would like to participate.

The End

That's it from me as it stands. I'm looking for four other writers so that we can achieve the roaster of five like in the show. Once four good quality writers show an interest, I will stop accepting OCs unless I feel comfortable managing a few more people. This is my first time doing this on this here site, so be gentle.

Be glad to hear from you! Over and Out!

MisFits: Storm Incoming!

For whoever is interested, I will now be setting up the RP thread for this :)

The Blighted Kingdom

Are we going to be setting up a discord for this? It's more accessible OOC wise and stops it looking too noisy.

Treasure Planet RP (Seeking Male Character)

Sounds good to me, I'd be interested, absolutely love that movie! :)

The Blighted Kingdom

Done.

The Blighted Kingdom

Right it says palace steps on the last line, I'll edit.

Lan Ra'Nok

---

The first figure at the city gates was a silhouette dressed in cloth. The figures head wrapped in a material that many of the locals weren't all too familiar with, concealing almost all of their face, apart from a pair of yellow irises. The body covered in strange markings, detailing a story of some sort, but the edges of them look as if they're missing something. The procedure was never complete. The figure looked battered, bruised and scarred, the clear bags under their eyes showing restlessness. Surely they could do better than this couldn't they?

This is, or this man was, Lan Ra'Nok.

Once a young boy with aspirations and dreams of becoming a great hunter and leading his tribe into greatness, but then a boy who came back from his search for his manhood only to see the most grave of horrors. His tribe, all of them, taken by the Stone Blight. His Mother, Father, Brothers, Sisters, Aunties, Friends - all of them, frozen in time. Dead. Lan didn't like the taste in his mouth when he thought about the latter. He was here to correct it. He was going to do whatever he could in the effort of hopefully beating back the plague that had befell all of them. He stormed off from his tribes tents, taking his father's curved blade and horse with him.

Lan found himself here five months later, galloping in on an emaciated horse, nearly dying from dehydration. That was two weeks prior. Luckily, Lan had gotten himself to his destination, and he could finally let the horse free. He had driven it to the point of barely being able to stand and his need with it was done, so he would let it depart onto a better life. He consumed it, offering its bones and fat to the spirits, and eating the rest. He prayed as he ate that the horse's spirit would guide him, it's knowledge as a traveller animal bestowing him with the wisdom of which direction to take. He found himself happening upon a band of doctors as he walked the final stretch, barely shambling toward them with his thinned frame and dry mouth. Luckily, they gave him water, and he was able to continue.

He got to the gates of the great city soon after and allowed himself in. He had almost nothing to his name, The jewellery he could sell only got him the basics for a week in an inn, but he took what he could get. His original mission was to tell the west about what was happening, but it seemed that the west was hit just as bad as the tribes.

The pained faces. They followed him everywhere.

Lan now found himself standing outside the city gates, looking up at the grand walls in front of him, his yellow eyes piercing through the fabric. Lan lowered his face coverings, exposing his mess of black hair and tired expression fully. He clicked caused his neck to make a loud pop as he rolled his neck, allowing his headscarf the hang around the back of the neck.

The mission was to find the first convoy of heroes that had been sent out, or what remained of them, and report back to the capital. A simple enough job granted that they had enough to go on. While Lan was more accustomed to chasing down big cats and other desert fauna, he would still help in any way he could. "A tracker is a tracker, doesn't matter his prey." As his father once said.

"May the spirits guide me." Lan sighed in his mother tongue, clinging to his knife, praying in whispers.

The Blighted Kingdom

So we start outside the palace gates right?
