Ali just can't for the life of her tell them apart. And it bugs her a lot. XD

Nowhere. Somewhere. Everywhere (OOC)

I'd quickly like to point out that as James and Thomas are identical and still have the same hair/facial hair, most people who aren't family won't be able to tell who's who.

@HillanIf you know how to resize them, that'd be really helpful! :)

@TheIrishJJ

Ali will get it wrong. Every. Single. Time.

Never Normal - a Superhero Vigilante RP

In this world, super powers exist. It's something that the population has always known about, and accepted, somewhat. You could say it's like having skin of color. You still live. In some places, you can thrive. But people who hate you will still exist, not for who you are, but for what you look like. That's exactly what having super powers is like. You still live. But most fear you, shun you, simply because you carry this gift you did not ask for. A gift you did not get to choose.

Some embrace it, while some go down below the surface and never come back up.

We have "heroes". People who try to give supers a good name. Stupid people, who wear capes and spandex, and are so clouded with hope they fall before they get the chance to fly.

No. You're not that stupid.

You want to help. You believe that you can. But you're smarter then that. You know what you're about to delve into.. has to be done oh so carefully. You? You're not a hero. You're not a villain either. You were breaking the law before this just by existing, could it really hurt to break a few more?

A vigilante. That's what you are. Someone plain by day, something more by night. You do what you can to help this corrupted city, you do what you can to protect the innocent. But the key to staying alive? Confidentiality. You work alone.

Well, you did.

A powerful evil has awoken within your city. He introduced himself as Umbra, and his motivation is unknown. He's killed over ten innocent and you've only know of his presence a week and just recently, took a vigilante hostage. It's clear you're no match for him alone.. you decide it's best to hide.

That is, until you receive an email. An email from the vigilante Ditch. You've heard of them before - either a crazy skilled hacker or a super with technology related powers. They're known to close off bank accounts of criminals, cause cars to crash, and wreak havoc to those who deserve it. They're powerful.

They suggest a meeting. They suggest banding together with other vigilantes in order to stop Umbra. Are you done working alone? Are you prepared to face this evil with a whole bunch of strangers?

You're life isn't going to be the same after this. But you were never normal anyway.

----

Hiya! This is the first RP I'll be running on this site so please, go easy on me. Basically, this is a superhero vigilante RP where you, a superhuman, are forced to work with a group of other vigilantes to stop an evil dude named Umbra, when usually you're used to working alone. Drama! Action! Superpowers! The wholeeeeeeeeee package.

This isn't as free-form as most modern superpower roleplays I've seen here, which is kind of the point. I do have a basic plot outline, a reason to get us all together, and an evil we need to stop. Details are up to all of us to create. This is a sort of high-casual, low-advanced roleplay. I expect character development, 2-3+ paragraphs per post, and lots of chatting OOC to keep us motivated and the ideas flowing!

I don't guarantee this roleplay will happen, depending on what type of interest I get. I will need some help navigating this website, I'm still not 100% on how things work here, but what better way to learn than to run a roleplay? ^o^

But yeah! I look forward to hearing some input and questions for this RP :D And... sorry about the sucky name. :P

@CloudyBlueDay
Your character looks fine. Nice utilitarian ability. Accepted

Edit: There is one thing I want to know about your ability though. How much information and how specific do you need on something to be able to locate it?

For example: for persons. Do you need to know the person? Do you need the name only or do you also have seen the person either on a picture or in real life?

Also, for objects. How exact does your query need to be? Let's say you need to find food. Will your ability simply find the closest food or do you need to think of a specific kind of food?

Since your ability is quite specific and non-combat, I can allow you to make it quite potent at what it does. Just throwing it out there.

@Melo

Ah, you bring up a good point!

For people, he needs a picture. He can't do it if he's never seen the person, let it be in the flesh or with a photo. He doesn't need to know the person.

For objects, your query would probably have to be much more exact. I'm thinking generalization can come with time and practice, like being able to find many Chinese restaurants nearby if you said you wanted Chinese food. But right now, he could only find specific objects. He probably wouldn't be able to find "orange chicken", because he'd need to know exactly which platter of orange chicken.

Name:

Mason Marcus Zetith

Age:

26

Gender:

Male

Employment:

Journalist

Personality:

Mason is a very reserved and introverted man. He doesn't speak unless spoken too, and rather enjoys being alone. Though that doesn't mean he doesn't enjoy the company of a select few. Those who make an effort to get to know him will actually find he's rather charming - though somewhat soft-spoken, he's got a good sense of humor, is understanding and patient, and in general a really nice guy.

Mason has a fierce love for stars and constellations, it's something he's always been obsessed with since he was a child. He also loves to travel, the idea of seeing so many places, cultures, food, people, all on the same earth, truly fascinates him, and he is very lucky that his job allows him to travel regularly.

Though he's a truly kindhearted man, he's very sensitive and emotional, and he seldom opens up to people. He doesn't do well in high pressure situations and he isn't the strongest, the smartest, or the toughest. He's a gentle, passionate guy, who only really wants to do what he enjoys in life.

Ability:

Pathfinder: Mason is able to find any place, item, or person, and create the most efficient path to where they are. His power is neither offensive or defensive - it is simply utility, and it doesn't have a whole lot of weaknesses due to it's simple and straightforward nature. When his power is in use, his blue eyes give off a small glow, and he has to be very concentrated and focused to do it. It is significantly easier for him to use his abilities at night, though he doesn't know why.

Background:

Mason was born in a small town in Minnesota, USA. His father was never in the picture, he'd run when his mother revealed she was pregnant, and raised him by herself. It was clear early on he wasn't the most outgoing of kids, and never had a lot of friends, save for one quirky boy named Zach he met in high school and to this day still keeps in touch with, despite traveling so often. But that's another story for another day.

His mother a city girl at heart, and up until he was nine they lived in NYC, but they moved due to expenses and his mother wanting a stable life for her son. He absolutely loved his new life in Minnesota. It was a quiet place. He felt he could start fresh, and he could see the stars every night. There were no skyscrapers that blocked them.

It was always clear that Mason wanted to travel. He was saving pennies since he could remember, and it was his biggest dream to explore the world. He studied Journalism and Astronomy in college, and the moment he graduated, he took all the money he'd saved, the money he'd made doing odd jobs since he was thirteen, the money his mother had given him, got to a plane to the first place he could think of. London, England. Why? He wasn't sure. Why not.

He hadn't planned to stay long, but he met this incredible girl. Her name was Melanie, and she was simply stunning. Long brown hair, sparkly green eyes, laughter that was contagious, and a love for stars. That sealed the deal.

He dropped everything for her; spent over five months with her in London before he convinced her to go travelling with him. They visited Africa, France, Italy, Tokyo.. everywhere. Mason loved every moment of it. He was going to propose to her; until he found out she had been cheating on him. He was devastated. He went back home to Minnesota, to clear his head. See his mom, see his old friends. Got a job as a travel journalist. And wouldn't you know it, got called to write an article in London.

That day was one of the most incredible of his life. Terrifying. That he was stuck. This boy who loved to travel, to feel free, was stuck in one place. But the gift he was given; it felt so right. He didn't look much different. He wasn't lifting cars or spitting fire, but he felt new and special. He'd woken up that morning thinking of Mel, and he could suddenly visualize her halfway across town, her exact address, the exact room of the apartment building she slept in. Yes. It was creepy, and a little bit scary, but he knew. He knew it was right.

That, er, didn't exactly solve the problem that he was stuck in England, though.

Hey, sorry! I've been a little bit stumped on my char/strapped for time, but I am still interested, and hope to finish my CS soon!

Nowhere. Somewhere. Everywhere (OOC)

Alice Madderon

Life's a wild ride, hold on tight!

Name:

Alice Maderon

Nickname:

She prefers to be called Ali over her full name.

Birthdate:

August 21st 1989

Age:

27

Gender:

Female

Sexuality:

Heterosexual

Relationship Status:

Single

Family:

Marissa, her older sister, and her son, Mark. Parents are deceased.

Occupation:

Freelance musician

In Depth Appearance:

Ali always stood out in a crowd with her wild, bright orange hair. Along with her hair, she has light bluish greenish eyes and flawless olive skin. She dresses very flatteringly, and almost always like it's summer, with shorts, tank tops, and summer dresses. Though she isn't a girly girl, she likes to feel pretty. Ali's always got a smile on her face, and it's rare to see her with anything less. She walks effortlessly and lightly, like there's nothing wrong at all, yet there always is.

Biography:

Then:

Ali was, and still is, one of the most charismatic people you'll ever meet. Despite all the trials she's been put through, she always was the one cheering others up, making stupid jokes, rambling on about everything and nothing for days. She was always a wild spirit, always willing to try new things, yet some part of her always dreamed of a stable life.

Ali's parents were killed in a car crash when she was three, and her sister was six. Marissa took it upon herself to save Ali's innocence throughout their childhood, be the mother that neither of them had. Marissa was constantly doing things for Ali's own "protection", and it lead Ali to greatly resent Marissa, as well as do a bunch of stupid things just because it would piss her sister off. However bright and beautiful Ali looked on camera, she was an idiotic teenager, who drank and danced the night away every chance she got. Because her sister knew what was good and what was bad, and Ali so desperately wanted to prove her wrong.

Between:

After the show was over, Ali found out she was pregnant. She'd had a lot of flings with a lot of guys - there was no knowing who exactly the father would be. Marissa always knew when Ali had something to hide, and found out pretty early on. Marissa promised she'd help Ali raise her child, despite Ali wanting an abortion. It took a lot for Ali to rise up to the occasion, but she eventually decided she'd have the baby.

Ali went from being a kid to a mom in what felt like mere minutes, but the moment she held her baby boy she knew she'd done the right thing. She started doing gigs at weddings to support herself and her son. She stepped up to the plate, becoming a responsible young woman and a role model for her child.

Now:

Ali is leading a pretty stable life right now. Though she's no big-time musician, she does what she loves, and has a wonderful relationship with her ten year old son, Mark. Marissa is a big part of their lives, and Ali is quite happy with where she's at. Though she's matured greatly, she's still bright, bubbly, and charismatic as she was before.

Centric Episode/s:

Reckless: We follow Ali through a normal day of her life, dropping her son off at school, having a cup of coffee with her sister, and she goes to perform at her gig at the bar, where some trouble ensues.

Theme:

Reflections by MisterWives

Relationships:

Eli Gerard

Alice and Eli are actually pretty good friends - with his connections in this music business he helps Ali get gigs, and though most have trouble understanding and having patience for Eli, Ali quite enjoys his company. She finds it interesting how much he's changed.

Liam North

Alice and Liam had an interesting relationship, to say the least. It was a popularity contest turned into heated romance, which ended up in shambles when he made out Emma Green the night they were crowned prom King and Queen. She doesn't have any hate towards him, Alice knows they were both stupid kids doing stupid things, and is quite interested in seeing how he's changed, and her opinion on him now.

James Carpenter

In her teen years, Ali had a slight crush on the football player. She could never really tell him apart from his brother, and still can't, but she knows they're both great guys. Things got a little bit.. heated between them while Nowhere was still running, but of course, she knows he's got a family now, and does her best to forget what happened between them. Now they're fairly good friends, but don't talk incredibly often.

Thomas Carpenter

She wasn't great friends with him back then, but over time they connected more and more and talk rather regularly. Ali thinks of him as no more then a friend, and enjoys spending time with him. She can hardly tell him apart from his brother, though.
