Alright I think I'll let y'all pick your own power. But perhaps check with me before you fill in your app entirely. Some things just wouldn't really work with the flow of the RP.

OOC is up, mostly for discussion, subscription, etc. purposes. App process should happen here (or in my PMs) to avoid the OOC being a mess of both discussion and character building.
It's been a few days since you were last at home.
It's been a bit of a blur for you. It was just a normal mundane weekday until they took you. You didn't have any reason to suspect it. No reason to have your guard up. One moment, you were living your life the same as you always did, the next, you were fading in to unconsciousness with suited men approaching you. When you came to your senses, perhaps a day or two ago now, you found yourself in some kind of container made of a strange metal. You've had meals and water passed through in to your container, but you have received no response when attempting to make contact. By the rattling sound below, you deduced you are on a train of some kind.
You are scared, alone, angry - and without answers, still completely oblivious as to who took you, and why. You have an inkling though. You deduce that it's to do with your gift - or your affliction, however you see it. For the last couple of years you have felt powers bloom from within you - perhaps the ability to manipulate fire, to heal or to even fly. You make this connection as for the first time in some months you are unable to use your power at all, the container you are trapped in numbing your ability completely.
Any attempt to escape is futile, any attempt to call for help is futile. Everything you do is a waste of energy, so you wait it out. And wait. Until you hear the bang.
Right so this RP will revolve around a group of teens and young adults on the run from ?government? forces who wish to detain them. Based on luck alone our group get a chance to escape and must try and learn how to use their abilities and to work as a team, avoiding cities and remaining out in the countryside, being constantly hunted by this mysterious organization that had them initially trapped.
I am considering two ways of doing this - people choosing powers, or having a random power assigned from a pool (by myself), with the choice of a reroll. Up to you guys which one we will do.

Working on an OOC pronto.
Seems that way, boss. I'm curious though as to how far the supernatural aspect is going though. Is magic of some sort going to be allowed?
It's gonna mostly be superhuman abilities. Enhanced strength, agility, super high endurance etc. So no magic.
Yet.
Working on an OOC pronto.
Nice. So you guys are more invested in this being in advanced?
Cool, probably swaying more towards Advanced rn.
@Grim Fandango
Tenatively interested. Would like to know if you are familiar with the World of Darkness vampires and would be okay with generally making local vampires sort of like V:tM's ones!
Not really informed on it. I'll have a look and see how it would compare.
Ferdinand, Pennsylvania
January 15, 1990
Resting on the coast of the vast Lake Erie is the relatively nondescript city of Ferdinand - the second largest settlement in Pennsylvania, around a third of the size of the metropolis of Philadelphia. For years it has been a city that has gone by without much significance, being large enough to have everything a city could want, but small enough to avoid attracting any kind of national attention. Life in Ferdinand is as typically mundane as in any other city, for most citizens that is, but the city's history is dark. It's underground is notoriously dangerous, prolific and incredibly subtle criminal groups working in the shadows. Many have spoke out on the strange, unexplained and often supernatural events that they have experienced within the cities boundaries - though these rumors are often scoffed at.
The truth of it all is quite hard to believe - and the fact is that vampirism, a curse (or gift, depending on your angle) of blood, runs rife within some of the most important individuals within the city limits. Ever since the days of colonization, these vampires have had a powerful presence in Ferdinand. Although it is not the only city with people of it's kind, it is quickly becoming the most significant, as unlike cities such as New York and Philadelphia, who have dozens of vampiric sects and groups, Ferdinand has two main factions of note - and war is brewing between the two.
For decades Ferdinand was watched over in the shadows by the Ravenwing, a group led by one of the most esteemed figures in this hidden community - Damian Hall, or, as he was known by the outside world - Henry Wilson, businessman and millionaire. Behind closed doors Damian was a strict and highly intimidating patriarch, governing the cities vampiric population with extreme caution, valuing the unity and relative peace that the Ravenwing managed to maintain - this, of course, was sometimes disturbed by "rogue" vampires and minor sects, but these individuals seldom involved themselves in the Ravenwing's business, purely because they were well aware that they would be destroyed if they tried anything.
However, in the early-80s, a splinter group of the Ravenwing was born, known in the underground as Clan Whyte. Clan Whyte, led by it's namesake, Francis Whyte, was conceived as an opposition to the Ravenwing, disagreeing with the policies on non-vampiric humans. Clan Whyte cared little for the safety of civilians and always followed their animalistic drives - letting their members feed whenever, however, with no regard for who they hurt. This was quite contrasting with the Ravenwing, who had always valued subtlety and only fed when necessary. Tensions grew between Whyte and Hall, the two once being friends, now bitter enemies. Peace, however, was maintained, as the Ravenwing still held much more power in the city, and Clan Whyte lurked in the shadows, actively avoiding contact with their rivals.
Throughout the late 80s, however, Clan Whyte were slowly becoming more and more of an issue for their more powerful counterparts. The Clan had alerted many humans of their presence, which had led to the formation of a private militia of vampire hunters. They had also grown rapidly in numbers, reaching in to the 100s and quickly gaining on the population of the Ravenwing.
The two factions are now, very literally, at each-others necks, and tensions have been high for some time. Despite Damian Hall's eagerness to reach a peaceful conclusion, Clan Whyte have very different intentions. Intentions that will see Damian Hall dead, the Ravenwing in tatters, and the city's underground thrown in to it's most dangerous period yet.
Hi guys, just a little bit I've written up to try and get the interest check. The OOC info will be more in depth and include all the details on the questions you guys will probably ask (i.e. biology of the vampires, etc.) I also want to press that this is NOT a teen/high school RP and I'm not going for a Twilight vibe at all.
Essentially the tl;dr is we are members of a vampire clan in a fictional city, and an underground war will spark between us and our opposing faction, as well as some involvement with rogue vampires, vampire hunters, and some cops too probably. Lemme know if you are interested. Either Advanced or High Cas.
scrapped
Potentially interested. I do enjoy smaller groups.
