What power level are you after?

As in, do you have a limit on how powerful/weak a character is allowed to be?
If so, what is it?

@Klomster

Hmm...I'd like to start around lower tier tv show powers like misfits and heroes then evolve to power levels of X Men, and later on higher end power levels like Justice League.

If that analogy made any sense. Basically I want the powers to evolve,and get really powerful over the RP, however If for example you have the power to control fire maybe start off being able to burn a room to part of a house and evolve to being able to roast an entire block then a city ect.

So I haven't set a cap, but for now don't start off obscenely powerful, but feel free to raise the powers as we go through the story-line.

Who is the killer?

Yeah, most definitely let me know when the OOC is up. :)

Wild Cards AU [Politics, Superpowers, Fun!]

I'm definitely interested!

Yeah I agree completely with the boss lady! Only thing I'll say is the experiment happened about two weeks ago, so characters would just be manifesting their powers, that's why I neglected to put anything about the powers in my super powered character's history since he's had his powers such a short duration of of time that it hasn't made a major impact on his history.

I'm gonna suggest most of the super powered characters start off in the same city for interaction purpouses, mine will be in Atlanta. However people have gained powers across the world so you can start anywhere you'd like.

Also if you wanna reserve a power, I'll let you for like 48-72 hours to allow time to work on a CS, and I'll mention which ones are reserved in the first post.

Empowered!!! (Closed)!

Name: Luke Braxton

Age: 21

Gender: Male

Religion: Leaning between Christian & Agnostic

Sexuality: Heterosexual

Occupation: Uber Driver/Lyft Driver

Abilities:

Talker/Manipulative - If there's one thing Luke can do it's talk. He's good at talking his way out of a situation, and has used this in several situations with police, teachers, juries, drug dealers, potential clients for his business, ect. He's always prided himself on his communication skills, and able to dance around people with words. He takes it a step farther by being extremely manipulative, and being great at using people until they no longer serve a purpose to him.

Focus: He's extremely driven when it comes to success, and is an extremly hard worker. Some have even labeled him a workaholic at times, for his dedication to making money.

Street Savy: He's extremely adept in the life of crime. He's been very successful at selling drugs over the years, and staying off the police's radar. He's also engaged in numerous other crimes including credit card fraud, extortion, blackmail, theft, but also has made a killing in applying his criminal talents to legal sales jobs.

Driver: He's an excellent driver, and is great on the roads. He's been driving since he was 13, and is great and has never had a car accident.

Faults:

Loneliness: One of his biggest fears, and one he will hardly ever divulge to anyone. He does not enjoy being by himself for extended periods of time, and will surround himself with others whenever possible.

Paranoid: Hah! Paranoia is something that he's dealing with and not only when he's breaking down bricks of cocaine and bales of marijuana to be shipped across the city. He gets paranoid about certain things like whether his friends are plotting against him or are truly his friends, to if a teacher crossed him wrong on purpose or something.

Arrogance: This may be seen as a strength to some, but he will refuse to give up on his position no matter how much evidence is potrayed to show him in the wrong, and will even get infuriated at further attempts to get him to concede his point which can lead to him acting irrationally.

Greed: He's obsessed with money to the point that it's an unhealthy infatuation. He sees money as freedom, and has often been quoted saying he'd gladly sell his soul to the devil for 7 figures. Not only for money, he's greedy for everything but money is his primary love. He's greedy for the best women, the best cars, the best of everything, he wants the best of everything.

Faults(Tell me what really makes you human. Any fears, mental illness, or just what makes them not perfect ie problem with procrastination, substance abuse, inferiority complex ect)

Substance Abuse: He's always been prone to using drugs for one reason or another. At first for experimentation other times to cope with the stress of his hard life, and other times simply because he believes he deserves to be high or because the "Elite are all high" For whatever excuse he has he's always struggled with drugs. Although his primary drug of choice is marijuana, he chain smokes blunts like the average smoker does Marlboro's and Newports. Other drugs he commonly abuses along with his DOC include Cocaine, Percocet, Xanax, & Alcohol.

Power: Psionic Manipulation - He has the ability to manipulate psionic energy which grant him the ability of telepathy and telekinesis.

Personality: Luke is extremely self centered, and focused on his own goals and success in life. He places value on money, and other materialistic items above people. He has an extremely pessimistic view of most people, although he does have a few people in his life whom he is close to and actually cares for although not as much as himself. He enjoys making money, and has a drive for success despite some of his numerous faults such as being high almost all the time or half the time when he's busy. He has no problem with crime or violence believing anything is necessary, and justifies that behavior by believing God didn't give him the tools to do anything better with his life. He is extremely dismissive of anyone who tries to tell him otherwise, and hates authority of all kind. He believes everyone should listen to him, and people would be better off if they do that. He sees himself as above the law and other norms of society, and wants enough money to live like corrupt politicians and celebrities he idolizes.

History: Luke Braxton was born in LA, and had a pretty harsh upbringing. He was among three children, he had a sister Tanya, and an older brother Craig. His father was a pretty notorious criminal and high ranking drug dealer, and involved in other criminal pursuits and his family owned a great restaurant Braxton's Wings.When he was four his father was brutally murdered, and their life took a turn for the worst from there. His mother Tammy was struggling to manage the family's restaurant while also managing a pretty severe addiction to prescription pain killers, and marijuana.

Luke's youth was nearly turned upside several times due to his mother's irresponsible behavior and managing of their finances, and she ended up becoming an escort on the side to support the family. Luke knew from a young age he wanted to establish wealth for not only himself but his family for generations to come. He was always focused in school, and played sports early on but seeing as he was not a superb athlete quickly let that go in middle school knowing he wouldn't ever be professional. He took up after his brother Craig who was getting into the drug business, and followed in his brother's foot steps to become an excellent drug dealer by the time he was a freshmen in high school.

His brother was a freshmen in college around this time and was busted by the DEA for being involved in a major cocaine and heroin operation. After this his mother had a religious conversion and believed they needed a change of scenery. With the rest of the money from her Escort business she moved the family to Atlanta, and focused on opening another chain of their restaurant in the city. Luke tried to change his life, and decided he wanted to go into law, seeing the money lawyers were making from his various criminal accomplices seeking their representation. He left selling drugs alone, and went to work in his family's business, but the restaraunt wasn't nearly as successful in Atlanta. He got into using drugs himself, and become a heavy pothead to cope with the stress of his life. He managed to score a scholarship to Georgia State University, and began getting into other drugs. Seeing how much money he was wasting, he ended up making connections and starting selling drugs, to have a decent legal revenue he got a job working for Uber & Lyft as well. He's determined to make money, go to law school, and make even more money his only goal.

Awesome! Here is my CS, with the updates I mentioned in PM :P

Sebastian Stewart

Image:


Name: Sebastian Stewart (Prefers the nickname ‘Seb’)

Age: 24

Gender: Male

Religion: Athiest

Sexuality: Bisexual, open to a little bit of everything.

Occupation: ‘Professional Gambler’ – i.e. someone who spends all their time, and money, at a casino. His day job, which funds his adventures to the casino, is as a Taxi Driver.

Abilities:
Counting cards – Before he got his power he had to rely on tricks like counting cards to win in a casino. He got quite good at it, but took a break from the casino scene to avoid the broken legs he was fairly close to receiving. As a result, he is quite good at math, and running.

Confidence – Well calling this an ability is a little extreme, but he has a natural confidence that gets him through some of life’s stickier situations. He once talked his way out of an arranged marriage to a drug lord’s daughter. The only catch was that he had to transport a few questionable items into the country. A situation that he promptly talked his way through safe and sound.

Medical Knowledge – Despite his lack of interesting during his study, Sebastian was able to retain a fair bit of information. He has a good understanding of medicine, and is able to treat minor wounds. Some practice has made him rather good at fixing broken bones and gunshot wounds, even when his patient is himself.

Faults:
Compulsive liar – Sebastian has a hard time determining the truth from the lies. Often finds himself confused as he struggles to remember the facts. This, coupled with a past of substance abuse makes for a strenuous grasp on reality.

Fears – His biggest fear is falling into his lies and forgetting who he really is. His other fears include bouncers, security cameras, large dogs and being caught cheating. Especially being caught cheating.

Physicality – Sebastian is an intellectual, focusing more on matters of the mind than matters of the flesh. To phrase it another way, he is not strong. He isn't very fit either, which makes his daring escapes in the face of danger even more stressful.

Enemies – Sebastian has made a good number of friends that have some influence around the city’s underground. Unfortunately, he has made a far greater number of enemies. He often avoids walking around at night if he can, and generally sticks to more populated sections of the city. He has even had to relocate once when his apartment was introduced to a few Molotov cocktails.

Gambling Addiction – Well this goes without saying, he has a rather uncontrollable compulsion to gamble away his hard money.

Power:
Lady Luck – Lady luck seems to favour some above others. In Sebastian’s case, it would seem that she was somewhat of a stalker. His power is hard to define, and even harder to directly control. He can 'imbue' items or people with 'luck' to a degree, allowing them to do very lucky, or unlucky things. For example, he can touch a deck of cards and draw all four aces in a row, or touch a gun and cause it to misfire. His power is strictly limited to physical touch though, so he often has to get creative when it comes to dealing with a confrontation. He has had a situation where his phone blocked a bullet from hitting his heart, but it still came pretty close to killing him. It was pretty lucky that he survived.

Personality: Some might call him eccentric. Others might call him a weirdo. But if you were to ask Sebastian, he would say that he was an amazing actor. Around people he considers his true friends, he is a bubbly man that is more than happy to help with any issues. He acts like himself, and expresses his love for things like classical music and fine art, but around people that he is unfamiliar with he becomes much more calculating. He will do whatever he can to appeal to a person, pretending to like things or to dislike things. But if someone is able to see past his demeanour he acts as he usually would, a happy go lucky young man without a care in the world.

History: Sebastian had the kind of life you might read about in a PSA about the dangers of drugs. He was a bright and friendly kid with loving and respectful parents. He was brought up in a good town and went to a prestigious high school, ready to make the transition into medical school to become a doctor. But it was when he moved out of home that his life started to slip. He fell in with the wrong crowd and started to stay out all night drinking and gambling away all his money. He was able to maintain his lifestyle, but it wasn’t long until one of his ‘friends’ introduced him to something a little more intense.

He started taking any drug he could get his hands on. His particular favourite was cocaine. He began a spiral down into addiction, hatred and despair. Fast-forward a few years, and we are met with a very different man than the bright young boy that had left to start a promising medical career. Sebastian had dropped out of medical school, cut off all contact with his parents and started living in a run-down apartment surrounded by countless drug dealers and gangsters. On the bright side, he had given up the drugs. On the not so bright side, he had developed a small case of compulsive lying. But back on the bright side, he has a job as a taxi driver. It doesn’t pay too well but it covers the necessities like rent and bills. Food is optional, but he prefers to spend his money at the casino. These days he doesn’t have any people he would consider friends, more like people he would consider useful.

Religion: Agnostic
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Occupation: High Ranking Coalition Agent

Abilities:

-Weapon Proficiency: Having served in the military as well as working in the Coalition he's very adept at using numerous weapons ranging from standard guns to RPG's.

-Strategist: Never one to just walk into a scenario without proper briefing. He's extremely intelligent, and is referred. to by his co-workers as the man with a plan. He's never one to rush into situations without proper planning and consideration of what's going on, and all the factors at play.

Faults:

-Obsessive: Harry can be extremely obsessive when it comes to achieving one of his goals or in the pursuit of anything he thinks he needs. He will loose sleep, be unable to turn his attention to other projects, and be extremely dismissive of others around him when he's in he height of his obsessive behaviors. He's also somewhat obsessive compulsive and can be seen constantly checking doors again, repeatedly checking on updates on his phone or status updates from Coalition projects to pass time.

Power: None, regular human.

Personality: Harry is a man who's all about business, and has little room in his hand for things of a playful nature. He has an extremely serious demenour, and likes to surround himself with like minded people. He's very mission oriented, and can't stand being stagnant. He's an extreme workaholic, and considers his occupation his life. He's very pessimistic about many things in life including romantic relationships due to negative experiences in the past, and despite this he's extremely dedicated to the preservation of life. He's loyal to a fault, and considers betrayal to be a trait of the weak-minded. He believes ends justify the means but only to a certain extent and believes those that cross the line to often are evil or terrorist in nature. Due to his unwavering stances and sticking to his code he's been nicknamed "Creed" during his tenure int he military, and has retained that nick-name even after his service was completed.

History: Harry Foltross was born in Germany into a military family, and spend most of his child-hood moving from place to place so he never formed and maintained long lasting relationships with anybody. His mother died when he was young from illness, and his father buried himself in his work leaving him to fend for himself. Still despite his father being distant he was his role model, and he wanted to be just like him. He had a strong sense of justice and duty growing up. Upon getting to high school he joined ROTC, and after high school opted to join the military to be just like his father. He was noted for his brutality, and ended up doing work in Black Ops which lead to him developing a pessimistic view about humanity, and the evil they were capable of.

Still he was dedicated to the United States just like his father was, and after the military took advantage of his free education by going to get a bachelor's degree in exercise science. Upon completing that he did work as a personal trainer before opening up his own personal training business, and devoting his free time to studying martial arts and reading about military and government operations. He was approached several times to work in the FBI and CIA but turned that down in favor of running his business. It wasn't until he faced extreme economic hardship that resulted in his business failing that he opted to change his career. Around this time his father was also killed by former enemies seeking vengeance on him from his time in the military. He ended up going itno the security business, and from there was recruited into the Coalition where he was made aware of the impending alien threat. He worked with them to help stop the threat and rose up in the ranks of the organization to become one of their more high ranking agents.

He's extremely paranoid of the impending alien threat, and believes humanity should do everything in their power to unite if they have any chance of survival. He was one of the main people pushing to work on re-engieering the confiscated alien technology from the aliens, and as such feels a great responsibility in the incident that's lead to people gaining powers. He's made it his personal agenda to stay on top of things, and handle the new superhuman populace as well as work on figuring out a solution to save & unite humanity before the coming war.

Premise
From the dawn of time humanity has had a tendency to think that they are alone in the universe, that they are special, and this belief has been supported by various sets of beliefs including religions which often feature humanity as God/the god's special people. However recent events have unfolded that have proven this theory wrong. A highly advanced race of imperialistic extra-terrestial beings sought to conquer the earth and add it to the list of civilizations/planets they reign over. To that end they sent a a fleet of soldiers to investigate earth, and set the stage for their people to rule over humanity. This secret invasion was detected by the world's intelligent communities, and lead to the world's governments at large working together in a covet operation to stop the invasion in it's tracks. In short they were succesful in defeating the threat, slaying the invaders, and for the most part keeping the general public unaware of what happened. As far as the general public was concerned in the year of 2014 a massive terrorist organization that had access to ground breaking advanced technology planned to wreak havoc on the world's nations and was stopped.

However that was not the end, humanity thought they had won the war, but they'd simply by sheer luck won the first battle. Two years later in the year of 2016, a group was formed by the leaders of the various world governments known as the "Coalition" whose goal was to re-engineer the alien technology, and study the invaders to be prepared for subsequent invasions which may be more dangerous. The result was an experiment that went horribly wrong, and has granted humans across the globe superhuman abilities that are a manifestation of their innermost desires. Even worst the beacon of energy that surged across the planet granting many humans the next step in evolution has alerted the aliens that sought to dominant earth all those years ago that their covet operation failed, and now they seek to avenge their fallen soldiers, and truly dominate the earth. Time is ticking before this species inevitably finds it's way to earth again, and thus begins the story of those empowered by this accident.

Rules
1. The RP involves powers, so feel free to have powers of all sorts, and have fun just don't be too crazy.
2. There's a storyline involved but I want the RP to be sandbox style, so you can have as many characters as you can handle.
3. If you want the same power as someone else, ask, but I'd prefer if you picked a different power or made it different then the other character's power in some way.
4. Try to remain active, and give a heads up if you can't.
5. This is set in the "Real" world so try to keep things realistic.
6. No stickler for the lengths of the posts, just remember this is causal not free.
7. HAVE FUN!!!!
