Gifts such as the ability to fly, wield strength greater then other men, and other such talents that allow you to control the world around you are things many of us which to have. However what if some of us actually did have those abilities? It turns out however that people with abilities do exist and they have been living among us. For nearly the entirety of human history these people now commonly known as Evolved humans or Evo's for short have been in hiding. However thanks to one girl Claire Bennet with the power of regeneration jumping off a ferris wheel on live TV, they are now exposed living in the open. Two years have passed since the fateful day that Evo's were exposed to the general population. The World reacted to the emergence of these people in various ways some holding their arms open to accept Evo's as their fellow citizens others fearing them and believing them to be a threat to the stability of society. In recent times the growing number of violent incidents involving Evo's have grown leading the general population to becoming increasingly paranoid and fearful of people with abilities. Finally this culminated in the United States, and several other nations passing rules and regulations to monitor and control the Evo population. Dark days are ahead of those with powers, and now they must fight for survival in a world that's turned against them. [b]Rules:[/b] 1. This is a RP with super powers so my only rule is try to keep things reasonable, and everyone rp fairly. 2. You can have as many characters as you can keep up with/have a profile for, NPC's don't require one obviously. 3. Try to stay active, and if something comes up try to give me a heads up if possible. 4. This is a casual RP so try to at least have a paragraph or two per post. 5. This is set in the real world so try to keep things somewhat realistic. 6. If you want to play/reserve a cannon character from Heroes PM me to see if they already have a preplanned role in the RP or something. 7. I have no qualms with you picking the same power as another player or something but to be fair if you want a power someone already has you need to get permission from whoever already has the power. 8.

Class 1 – Minor abilities that can do little to effect the world around them, and only really effect the user like glowing in the dark or x ray vision. Akin to regular humans with special talents. Class 2 – The next level up on the list, people with minor abilities that can be used in a variety of ways. These can include powers of manipulating technology, Flight, and healing. Class 3 – Moving on up in the scale, these are Evo’s with powers that can be used in combat and to effect others around them. These can range from super strength, telekinesis, manipulating elements, and energy blasts. Class 4 – These are Evo’s with dangerous abilities with few limitations, and can have wide reaching effects on others and the areas around them. These are dangerous abilities such as the power to manipulate nuclear radiation, the weather and even affecting gravity. Class 5 – The top of the line and most powerful Evo’s of all time. Usually Evo’s that have access to multiple powers, or a power that can have multiple effects. Have significant control of the world around them, and are incredibly powerful and require the help of other Evo’s or significant technology to be brought down. ...................................... Evolved Human Registration Act- Passed in March 2012 and approved by several figures of authority. The law was initially passed in the United States Government, and shortly afterwards in several other countries, The United Nations even meets to discuss this. The law requires evolved humans to submit and register to the Government’s database and be monitored, and have scheduled monthly meetings with a evo probation officer. They are given restrictions in where they can and cannot go(ex near schools, government buildings, ect), and are also assigned curfews which depends on their ability and occupation. The following is a restated version of all the laws those must follow under the Evo Registration Act which may differ based on what country the Evo is in. -Must submit, and register into the Evo database system and carry an Evo identification card. -Have scheduled weekly to monthly meetings with an Evo Probation officer. The frequency of the meetings depends on various factors such as the Evo's class, history ect. -Evo’s must submit to being registered by the Government. -Evo’s are given various restrictions in where they can and cannot go(ex schools, government buildings) - Evo’s are assigned curfews based on their ability, class, history, criminal history, and such. Ex a Class 3 might have a curfew of 10PM with no prior criminal history, while a class 2 with a couple misdemeanors might have to go home straight after work. -Evo’s must submit to mandatory tests for drugs legal and illegal. -Evo’s class 2 and above are banned from consuming any form of alcoholic beverage ever as well as banned from purchasing alcohol. -Any crime an Evo commits that will gain 2x as harsh a punishment as a regular citizen, due to their ability making them a more dangerous offender. -Evo’s are banned from leaving their country without permission from both countries and must ride in a secure cell and be transported by government officials in the Evo vehicle, which the Government oversees. -Evo’s are not allowed to use their ability unless approved by the Government or in a life threatening situation; otherwise they are sentenced to a couple days/weeks + imprisonment. -Must maintain a job at all times, and only allowed two weeks to remain jobless before arrested, not sentenced to jail but a halfway house for jobless Evo’s. -Certain Evo’s (Usually Class 2-3+) are banned from procreating, and those who choose so will have a forced abortion, and detainment. In the instance that an Evo birth is approved they will be monitored by the Gov from birth, and only one Evo child is allowed and must be raised by at least one normal parent. -Evo’s have their internet history, and cell phone calls/texts monitored by the Government if they are registered. -Evo’s are banned from certain occupations or otherwise restricted including those in law enforcement, law(the court), politics, ect. -Evo’s are not allowed to raise normal children, even if they have another normal parent, but a normal parent is required to be present in an Evo marriage if the kid they are raising is an Evo. -Evo's class 2 and above are not allowed to marry without approval from the Government, and typically only marriages to normals are approved. -The Government is allowed to at any time seize any property or money in the possession of an Evo if they feel the Evo is going against their country. In the United States, and most if not all countries some form of this registration act is in place. The Consequence for violating these laws are severe, and offenders will not be tolerated. Being an unregistered Evo in the United States is an automatic felony with a punishment of up to 5 years in prison. Also while only Evo's are logged into the Government database and subject to monitoring and other restrictions on their freedom, all American citizens must submit to a blood test, and whether or not there are an EVO is put on their I.D. ............................ Quantum Industries - Quantum Industries or just Quantum for short is an extremely influential and powerful international technology/security company established in early 2011. They are a highly successful company with some of the world’s brightest minds and are responsible for the development of the blood testing technology which made them rich. They have the world's most dangerous and well equipped private militia. They offer their services to countries and individuals with a wide range of services from protection from a dangerous enemy or providing armed forces for covert black ops missions that the buyer cannot engage in themselves for the sake of their reputation ex some U.S Law Enforcement agency wants someone dead but in order to protect their own members hires Quantum. Little is known about the origins of this mysterious and powerful organization only that it's founders include politicians, wealthy businessmen, celebrities, and even some of the world's most intelligent scientists. Their goal is to provide security/aid for anyone who can afford it and developing ground breaking technology that can benefit the world as well as their pockets. However beyond the facade lies a more sinister operation to control, monitor, and eliminate Evo's across the globe. Unlike many of the world's governments they have no one to keep them in check, no one throw morality at them, they only have one goal to deal with the Evolved Human population at all costs. Lastly unlike many of the world's governments they have no qualms with recruiting and working with Evo's to accomplish their goals. [b]Timeline of Events[/b] December 7, 2010 - Claire Bennet jumps off a ferris wheel and recovers after hitting the ground, revealing the Evo population to the world. January 2011 - The U.S Government and various other world governments begin working on dealing with ways to handle the Evolved human situation. February 2011 - Quantum Industries a powerful technology and security company is opened. March 2011 - More and more Evo's are revealing themselves to the world, and various people are voicing their opinions on what should be done about the situation. September 2011 - A major break through when Quantum Industries develops the blood testing technology which can be used to determine if someone is an Evo or normal, and makes large amounts of money selling this technology to the U.S Government. January 2012 - Increasing amounts of violent incidents involving Evo's have lead to a growing sense of fear in the U.S and other populations across the globe, blood testing is made mandatory by the U.S Government. Rumors of an Evo Registration Act are growing and many want this act to be passed. February 2012 - The President is dealing with pressure from Congress to pass to approve the Evo Registration Act, and dealing with accusations of being an Evo sympathizer. March 2012 - The Evo Registration Act is passed in the United States, and shortly afterwards the Department of Homeland Security opens up an Evo Division to handle all Evo affairs, and be in charge of enforcing the registration act in the United States. August 2012 - The Evo Registration Act is going strong, and almost every other country has adopted a similar version to this around the world. In the second week of August in Los Angeles an entire high school is wiped out, flattened into nothing and nearly everyone in the building is killed as a result. This tragedy has led to a massive increase in anti Evo hysteria in America, and lead to the Government becoming far more harsh in their treatment of the Evo Population. September 2012 - This is where the RP picks up, a month after the school was wiped out, and the world at large has cracked down on Evo's, and many citizens themselves have taken up arms against Evo's believing the government to not be doing enough to help them. The 2012 Presidential Election is coming up, and many Americans are looking for a strong leader who will be tough on Evo's and who has a solution to deal with the Evo issue once and for all.
