Correct! And not all the Vectors were willing to perform these experiments in the first place. Nomad, the brain behind it, didn't wish to see it used as it was. She did not believe it was ready, as it still had a high casualty rate, being spread attached to a flu virus.

R-Evolution

Showing interest!

I don't have a character idea yet but I'll start trying to work on one soon.

One thing I might be unclear on, are the Vectors a group of people who had powers already, or are they something nonhuman?

@deadpixel101

Very nice!

The Vectors are the ones who started the virus, and thus also have powers from the very start. Nomad is one of them. You'll be seeing some of the others around as well. The Subjects, were their test subjects that they experimented on. It didn't go as well for them as it did for everyone else.

"Welcome, citizen. To Central City. I hope you enjoyed the trip in, wheter you came by car or train, or airplane. This is the year 2217, and we sure do have a vibrant economy, a triving social life and some of the highest tech on the planet of Mars. Take a walk through Centennial Park, seeing all the cool and creative sculptures on display and enjoy the many fountains. Or walk down the beach at Navy Pier. The city is only as exciting as you make it. So come, visit the famed Central City."

You either live here or you traveled here... When your life spun on its head. In the span of 24 hours a bomb went off, the city was put under quarantine and thousands of people died...

The one's responsible for this so called Evo Bomb, the Vectors have assumed control over the city. They use the might of the subjects, twisted amalgamations with insane abilities, who are cruel, vicious and absolutely insane. But not as nearly crazy as the Vectors themselves. All but the one who calls herself the Nomad.

"But worry not, mortal. For as long as there is hope, there is a way. The Evo Bomb set forth a change in all things... Advancing them beyond what one would possibly believe. You who have survived, have gained an amazing gift. The choice is now yours: Survive, or Thrive."

---

This is a story about change. About a city under development. Taking place in a future era, it has elements of a post-apocalypse world. The bomb only took out a few buildings, but sent out a virus that changed the very DNA of those in the city, giving them powers. There are some, however who have no powers, called Shells.

The story takes place roughly a year after the Evo Bomb was used during New Years, and the city has all but gotten back to a new "normal"

---

Now... Onto the powers...

The virus changes those with a strong will. And always, gives powers based on your personality. To demonstrate I have The Nine Kings who represent this:

Lawful King and Queens

Lawful Moral: Orion. He is kind, but aloof, often found wandering about his area giving a helping hand to those who need it. He has Celestial Embodiment, which allows him to call down Angels and use Holy energy with the Touch of Heaven.

Lawful Neutral: Utopia. She is described as distant, calm and very tactful. She has Regeneration, which allows her to regain lost body parts and her minor power of Harbringer of Destiny gives her the ability to astral project.

Lawful Unmoral: Haven. She is cold, overbearing and vain. She cares not for those whom are under her. She is more than enough to handle a threat with her Stasis and Void's Gift.

Chaotic Kings and Queen

Chaotic Moral: Sol. A boisterous man with a vibrant smile who hosts the most parties. Even with the Threat of the Subjects he's got Solar Embodiment and the Curse of the Enflamed to keep him and his own from harm, most of which he causes himself.

Chaotic Neutral: The Mad Titan Mack. He is a true nihilist who gives zero fucks for most people. But for the ones he calls his own, he is a fearsome opponent with his Nihilistic Touch and Eyes of the Mad God. Besides this, he is hailed as a strong leader, and a brilliant strategist.

Chaotic Unmoral: Ah, Luna... What can be said of this Queen is that she is ever changing... Except for her desire to entertain. Twin sister of Sol, she has Lunar Embodiment and Enchantress... Beware of her web of saboteurs and spies.

Neutral Kings and Nomad

Neutral Moral: Nomad. She is patient, kind and efficient. Easily in the top three Kings, she has Telekinesis and Telepathy. She never wanted what the Vectors did and renounced them, causing them to declare her an enemy. She loves life and refuses to take lives.

True Neutral: Only one can claim the crown of the High King. And he is Dragon. The The man who sits on his throne and judges all the others. Balance is what he represents and it is expressed in his Emperor Dragon Embodiment. This fearsome man is one of a kind, and like all dragons, he's demanding, calculative and does what he wants... And never holds back.

Nuetral Unmoral: Nexus, the swiftest man in the city. He's got the looks, the money, and the power to break people who don't do as he says. His Flashpoint and Slipstream mark him as a powerful enemy, or a useful ally.

---

Rules:

No godmodding. There is always something stronger than you. I'll say it right here: No Meta is stronger than the Two Kings of Creation and Nomad, the last Vector.

Keep it real. You're surviving in the aftermath of a cataclysm, not living in a mansion. There will be some swearing, some mention of gore... But keep your pants on, people. Fade to black or take it to PMs.

Now... A list of restricted Powers, ask to use them

Ergokinesis
Telekinesis
Suggestion
Telepathy
Spatial Manipulation(only useful for self)
Blood Manipulation(Only useful for self.)
Physiology Changes: No Dragons, already got one, but go wild.

The Districts

---

After the Sickness, chaos reigned throughout the Nine Districts. The City quickly divided into the Districts, laid out as a grid. Like settled with like, and the Center became the home of the Dragon and the Shells he watched over.

District 1- Medtech

Aligned under King Orion, who slew Subject Gamma, Medtech is the home of Central Hospital, and Genesis. Orion regularly patrols the area, and it's deemed as the second safest District in the City.

Faction Leaders:

Orion- King of Light

O R I O N

_______________________________________________ Orion Knightley _______________________________________________ August 2nd | 59 | Caucasian _______________________________________________ Married | ♂ | Homosexual _______________________________________________ Two Masters Degrees-Philosophy/Political Science | Statesman _______________________________________________ Physical Profile ___________________________________ [+] //Basics: • Height | 6'8" • Weight | 256 • Build | Rugged and fit • Hair Colour | Blonde with White streaks • Eye Colour | Bright glowing yellow, almost white, his sclera is an off white Miscellaneous Items ___________________________________ [+] //Every Day Carry: • Sigil of Odin | A hammer pendant with the Helm of Awe.

A p p e a r a n c e D e t a i l s Orion is a tall broad man who's very presence brightens the room he is in. He constantly has some form of dirt on his shoes and hands from work, though his partner makes sure that he as as presentable as possible. He carries himself tall, proud of his achievements and work. He wears a set of fashioned armor that help contain his Light, else he harm those around him as his power is immense. His recent set was crafted by Nomad herself, and designed by his son.

_{P e r s o n a l i t y}

Orion is a bright man, a kind smile and laugh is often had around him. He is patient, steady and firm in his ideals and actions. He wields his might like a true King of Old, many jokingly calling him King Arthur. He is the reason the citizens started calling their leaders Kings and Queens, despite several of them not taking well to it.

Orion avidly fights for his people, and for others. He believes that those who have power must use it responsibly, ethically and most importantly, safely. He despises those who use their Gifts for selfish gain, those who act rashly and in anger and those who commit violence against innocents. He spares them no mercy, though will not kill unless it is a necessary measure. His people view him as just and fair, if a bit aloof. He can run cold on those who anger him, his bright glare piercing and nigh malevolent.

_{C h a r a c t e r S y n o p s i s}

Born and raised in the City, Orion grew up in a lower class family. His father, Peter, worked in the Docks, hauling and packing stock for the Corps. His mother, Artemesia, worked as a clerk for NovaCorp. Orion was an only child as his parents had trouble conceiving, though they adopted two more children by the time Orion turned seven.

Orion was a troublemaker, though quickly learned how to talk his way out of almost any situation. he'd regularly fight the bullies at his school, and grew to be one of the bigger kids, making the sight of him cause them to flee before a fight started. He came out to his family and friends early, at the time when his future husband, Vic, started his transition.

Vic and Orion were inseperable since childhood. Twin souls, Orion did his best to protect him from bullies and his family who refused to accept him. Orion proposed when they turned 18, and they married a year later. They conceived two children, Apollo and Andromeda, a year after their marriage.

Orion earned his degrees, doing his best to support his husband and children. He was loved by his community, moving with his family to District One where Vic was offered a position with Central Hospital to study as a doctor. Orion finished his degrees and was elected as a city official, overseeing the Humanitarian aid.

In the year 2185, Orion was elected as the city's youngest Mayor. He led the city for the maximum length of four terms, 20 years. The people loved him, and he sat at the Head of Mars Senate and on the Interplanetary Council until the EvoBomb detonated, where he was forced to quarantine along with the entire City.

_{A b i l i t i e s & S k i l l s}

_//Abilities:

Light Manipulation, Celestial Body Manipulation | Lux Infinitum

Orion has the ability to freely shape and direct light, as both wave and particles. He also can create structures of starlight, called Angels and use them as he wills. His body produces and stores Light that he can call forth to use as any form of construct or even as energy blasts. He is known for the light he uses creating halos and wings behind him as he channels his power.

Limitation(s) | His range is limited to his perception, though he can affect as far as he can see. The light coming from him is constant, dimming and brightening with his mood.

Weakness(es) | The light must be contained at all times, and uncovered skin is harmful to the touch. He has to wear dampening cuffs and limiters to keep himself from harming his loved ones, which must be replaced every week.

_//Skills:

Statescraft | As a politician who was well known in the City, Orion knows how to convince people with his words and actions. Many look to him for his leadership and compassion, knowing he will do all he can to bring order to the chaotic mess of the city.

_{O T H E R}

Orion is the only King to have no outspoken enemies, and has the largest population.

Victus- Queen of Light
Jaxon- Jack of Light

District 2-The Labs

Home to Nomad and the Tech Corps, The Labs are a cluster of buildings in the north that are dedicated to research and development of cybernetics and enhancements. Notable places are New Vanguard, The Academy of Higher Learning, Ventry Logistics and ARGE.

Faction Leader:

Nomad, Vector 6

Nomad

_______________________________________________ Alanya Sung _______________________________________________ March 12 | 41 | Japanese American _______________________________________________ Widowed | ♀ | Asexual _______________________________________________ Multiple Doctorates | Researcher at AGRE _______________________________________________ Physical Profile ___________________________________ [+] //Basics: • Height | 5'4" • Weight | 128 • Build | Average • Hair Colour | Black • Eye Colour | Purple Miscellaneous Items ___________________________________ [+] //Every Day Carry: • Nomad's Tablet | Her most used possession, as it holds her notes and research. It acts as a key to every building in The Labs.

A p p e a r a n c e D e t a i l s Nomad, while short in stature, has a very large presence. One of the Vectors, her powers actively affect her environment. This is evident in the way that the objects she's using float around her in a loose orbit. Her purple eyes are piercing and calm, no matter the situation. She generally wears her researcher's garb.

_{P e r s o n a l i t y}

A pacifist at heart who wishes only for the advancement of humankind as they race into the stars, Nomad is kind, patient and thoughtful. She refuses to do harm unless it is necessary and is arguably the smartest person in the entire City. She rebuked the Vectors for their use of the Evolutionary Virus she had dedicated her life to creating, as she believed that those who take it should know the risks and be able to choose for themselves. She harbors great sorrow for the twisted Subjects, and despises Vector One above all else, calling him a Tyrant and a monster.

_{C h a r a c t e r S y n o p s i s}

Alanya Sung was born in District 8, to her parents, Jimsook and Marylin. She was a precocious child, learning everything she could get her hands on, leading to a budding polymath. Her interests turned to genetics when she learned of her father's Alzheimer's, vowing to cure the disease in her lifetime. She would succeed, earning her first Nobel Peace Prize, at the age of 23. She earned two more for her work in Molecular Biology and Genetics by age 38.

She married fellow researcher, Tau Hollis(changed to Sung since she had won a bet), and they wanted to wait for children. Alanya joined AGRE(Advanced Genetics Research and Experimentation), one of the few MegaCorps who had a foothold in Central City at age 29. Tau joined her shortly after, and together they worked on the Evolutionary Enhancement Compound(EEC[pronounced Eek]). Their work culminated on that fateful day when Vector One, Osmund Fremorrow, unleashed it upon the City. In the ensuing chaos, Alanya could not find her husband, who is presumed dead.

_{A b i l i t i e s & S k i l l s}

_//Abilities:

Telekinesis/Telepathy | Fair Winds and Clear Skies

Nomad is known for her ability as a telepath and telekinesis. She can lift several thousand pounds with ease, flicking away objects with a simple gesture of her hand. To her, all minds around her are open for reading, but she mostly uses this to keep her assistants and herself updated. Few know of her true limits as she abhors fighting, but they have witnessed her repel several Subjects at once. With his Telepathy, she can twist what her opponent sees and persuade, though with her ethical code it is only in duress that she uses this.

Limitation(s) | Her telepathic influence can be countered by other telepaths and those with strong wills. Other methods of telepathic defense can be utilized to disable her, but the biggest limitation is her adamant refusal to engage in combat.

Weakness(es) | Data Unavailable

_//Skills:

Researcher | Having developed the virus, Nomad is exceptionally skilled at profiling and analyzing others, especially their abilities and their limits.

_{O T H E R}

Nomad has a noted sweet tooth and will often seek them out in times of stress.

District 3-Ravetown

Home to both The Foundry and Sol, Ravetown was the entertainment district, theatres, nightclubs, bars and the like were clustered here, and the area is lit up at night with vibrant neon holoscreens.

Faction Leadership:

Sol: Aurthur Quinlain

Sol

_______________________________________________ Arthur Quinlain _______________________________________________ March 20th | 27 | African Martian _______________________________________________ Single | ♂ | Omnisexual _______________________________________________ Collegiate | Unemployed _______________________________________________ Physical Profile ___________________________________ [+] //Basics: • Height | 6'2 • Weight | 235 • Build | Muscular • Hair Colour | Black • Eye Colour | Black sclera with what appears to be flame where the iris and pupil should be. Miscellaneous Items ___________________________________ [+] //Every Day Carry: • Energon Limiter MkII | Black and gold bangles that contain the excess energies of the bearer to be used in more efficient ways.

A p p e a r a n c e D e t a i l s The first thing one notices about Sol is his gigawatt smile. Like the sun, he's got a soft warm radiance to himself, that comes from the warm flames in his eyes. Heat seems to radiate off him, which is most noticeable during rainy days, as the steam is the easiest way to pick him out in a crowd, next to his boisterous laugh. He's a fan of a good fitted suit and tie during official business and stays fashionable during all hours of the night.

_{P e r s o n a l i t y}

Bright and bubbly, Sol is the most personable of the Kings; often seen out and about in the streets or in the nightclubs that are home to his district. He is known for his incredibly short temper and passion, a real punch first ask questions later when they're down type. He isn't naive, despite the reputation, as he holds plenty of power to back up his claim, as proven by his recent dethroning of the previous King, Monarch in the last few months.

In combat, Sol prefers to fight alone, due to his "curse", and often loses control as his temperature rises the longer the fight goes on. As such, he attempts to finish engagements quickly and keeping civilians from the collateral. As such, he will do everything he can to keep fights outside and above buildings.

_{C h a r a c t e r S y n o p s i s}

Arthur Quinlain is one of the two twins former mayor Josephine and her husband Demarkus Quinlain had. Always bright and sunny as a child, Arthur was the life of the party at home, at school and on the field playing sports. They always knew he'd get into the prestigious Havensfield University on his own merit, and he proved them right. Equal bits party animal and scholar, Arthur excelled in his studies, graduating Summa Cum Laude and Valedictorian of his class. He dove headfirst into his graduate program in robotics, led by the now infamous Jordan Veldana, the King formally known as Monarch.

After the bombs, he worked hard to create the limiters that would help him control his powers, utilizing the technopathic skills of his friend Orwell, so that he could dethrone the previous King, her destructive antics threatening all of the people around Ravetown as she wanted more and more control of the District. It was a brutal fight, involving several outside agents helping take her down as she succumbed to her insanity. But he grew from it, taking Dragon's decree well and his district is recovering.

_{A b i l i t i e s & S k i l l s}

_//Abilities:

Superhuman Ability | Ability Moniker
Sol's power comes from the burning Sun. All of his attacks are made of pure heat and flame, often at extremely high temperatures over 1000°F. With this level of heat Sol can melt and bend most forms of metal with ease. He can create points of spontaneous combustion in flammable objects, causing them to explode.

Sol also has the ability to assume an Altered Form made entirely of pure plasma through the removal of his Limiter. This Solar Forme has even higher heat and more control, though is incredibly taxing on the body. It has been proven to trade blows in the battle with Subject Sigma, The Volkan. In this form he gains the ability to manipulate Plasma in several ways similar to the Sun.

Limitation(s) | While his fire is hot enough to melt bullets, it also causes burns to people and objects around him, and flare with his quick temper.

Solar Forme has a relative time limit of four hours, upon which he'll start to lose control and tear himself apart in a miniature nova.

Weakness(es) | With his ability so closely tied to emotion, getting him angry around his loved ones can hurt or even kill them as he struggles containing his powers effectively without a Limiter. He must release energy often or he'll explode spontaneously.

_//Skills:

That stupid smile | The most charismatic of the Kings, he's good at persuading and getting others to play along nicely.

_{O T H E R}

His degree is in Advanced Robotics, focusing on Meta Tech.

District 4-The Quarry

Named after the massive quarry it was built around, District 4 hosts the manufacturing heart of the City, and operates as Queen Haven's fortress. The machinery is alive with the sound of gears, grinding drills and giant metal pipes filled with all sorts of materials. Now back in full operation, Haven's counterparts are set to continue production as normal.

Faction Leadership:

Utopia: Illanya Sotomoskov

District 5-City Center

The very heart of the city itself. Guarded by the enigmatic Dragon, and enforced by the powerful Nox, the citizens who live here are very well protected by the neutral ground. Home to the recently completed New Parthenon, Dragon oversees the whole of the city. The Shells(those who have not changed) find their home here under his protection, for he sees them as his precious hoard.

Faction Leadership:

Dragon

The Judge: Nox Penumbra

_______________________________________________ Noxim Penumbra _______________________________________________ September 12th | 39 | Caucasian _______________________________________________ Widowed | ♂ | Pansexual _______________________________________________ Masters in Justice | Commander of Black Steele _______________________________________________ Physical Profile ___________________________________ [+] //Basics: • Height | 6'7 • Weight | 279 • Build | Beefy • Hair Colour | Dark brown, flecks of grey • Eye Colour | Midnight blue Miscellaneous Items ___________________________________ [+] //Every Day Carry: • Magnum Gauss Revolver | Custom made hand cannon with a custom design. • Personal ID | Dubbed as one of the "keys to the city", Nox's ID can open nearly anything, due to its command access codes.

A p p e a r a n c e D e t a i l s Nox has a large presence. His dark aura is generally felt long before him, though comforting to the residents of District 5. He is rarely seen out of his uniform and body armor, preferring the look to match his aesthetic.

_{P e r s o n a l i t y}

As expected of Dragon's Right Hand, Nox is one of the most intimidating people in the City; for those who don't reside in his District. Overseeing the day to day tasks for the district, he acts as the Face. With plenty of advisors, and the backing of his company, he is confident, bold and compassionate.

He is staunchly against the outright fighting that tends to happen when you have a bunch of Metas in a room together, so he often lets them struggle against each other, stepping in only when innocents are in danger. His power aids in his peacekeeping duties, allowing him to use his calculating mind to figure out the issues around him; is stoic face usually set under his helmet.

_{C h a r a c t e r S y n o p s i s}

Born to a family of military contractors, Nox has been trained to hold guns since he could handle the recoil. His father runs the logistics side of Black Steele. As an only child, a lot was expected of him and he excelled in keeping the family name proud, as his companionship and friendship to Bjorn Steele led to the pair rising quickly in the ranks of the StarCorps, becoming one of the youngest Commisoned Officers to hold Commander. After the Second Resource War came to a close, he left the service and shifted to working alongside Bjorn, taking on his father's position as he retired.

Nox would find a wife and attempt to settle down, just a few years before the bombs fell, his wife passing due to the virus. His son, Maximus is a Shell, like most prepubescent children. As such, he commited himself to Dragon, working under the man. He is one of the few who knows the true name of Dragon, preferring to obfuscate information around the enigmatic High King.

_{A b i l i t i e s & S k i l l s}

_//Abilities:

Void Embodiment | Dark Radiance

Nox has a strange presence. One that devours energy around him and to psychic powers, he appears as a dark and gaping maw. It sees it's use in many ways, though he likes to use it to manipulate gravity and light into various constructs he calls "Eidolons". These constructs come in three colors and change their abilities as such:

Grey • Grey constructs can alter their local gravitational fields, negating, reinforcing or changing its direction

Black • Black constructs embody the void. Acting similar to black holes, the can create wells of nothingness, and negate powers in their local vicinity.

White • The rarest used constructs; White Eidolons have the power of white holes, giving them energy manipulation. Their most commonly used medium is light. These were what took down Monarch by disintegrating her nanites.

Outside of the Eidolons, Nox is a fearsome combatant as he can imbue his own body and gun with the various effects, which gave rise to his nickname: The Immortal Judge.

Limitation(s) | Nox's abilities can only affect his localized area, whereas his Eidolons can only travel up to a half mile away before they fade. The energy cost for them is much higher than his own imbuement abilities, so he prefers to only use them when he is facing off higher ranked threats.

Weakness(es) | Nox's ability only affects what he aware of, and only slightly increases his physical strength, as he can be overpowered by Physical type metas much more easily.

_//Skills:

Tactician | Nox's battle prowess is enough to allow him to stand toe to toe with most of the other Kings, his most notable feat is surviving a match with Mack and Nexus for ten minutes.

Logistics Mastery | Incredibly beauracratic, he is skilled at compiling large swaths of information at once. He can calculate dozens of variables at once.

_{O T H E R}

Voted as The City's Sexiest Man alive for two years running by the Martian Cosmopolitan Magazine.

District 6-The Starport Beach

Half Starport, half hydroponic beach; this district is arguably the most beautiful. It's kept in line by the former shipmaster, Mackenzie Gorm. One of the most dangerous of the Kings, his rule over the district keeps the peace at the threat of the lives of those who wrong him.

Faction Leaders:

Titan: Mackenzie Gorm

District 7-Shadytown

Always on the edge, there is the slums, the dark corners and the crevasses that rarely see the light. Led by Haven, this dark corner of the city is host to the city's dregs, crime lords and all manner of unpleasant company.

Faction Leadership:

Haven: Gabriella Florez-Santos

District 8- Hightown

Home of the rich and famous, Hightown is marked by the rolling hills and gilded cages of the people for whom wealth meant power. Led by Nexus, they suffered only slightly behind their advanced security and protected gates.

Faction Leadership:

Nexus: Shen He

District 9-Broadway

The theatres of District 9 are home to Selune, the illustrious enhantress and patron of the theatre. her second, Luna, is seen much more often as the elder woman prefers to keep to herself and her shows. It's to the point that Luna is seen more as the Queen of the vibrant district of artists and performers.

Faction Leadership:

Selune: Sylvanna al-Minhas

Luna: Morgan Quinlain

weekend bump

new stuff added

R-Evolution

Basically, just go with whatever you find interesting. It's based around personality, as that's how it was formed. I'm working on some of the Kings/Queens' stuff but an example would be Sol's fire power comes frm his hot temper, rash nature and it doesn't hurt anyone he considers his friends, and burns extra hot to his enemies and those he's angry at. His fire is emotional and actually dampens when he's sad, turning cold.

R-Evolution

Thanks for the interest, still working on some things on my end when I have the time. More lore and world info will come by the weekend. If you have any questions or want to see what powers are available, let me know.

R-Evolution

@StarBoi

Absolutely! Make a sheet and I'll look it on over, currently working on some stuff on my side, more info on the world is coming tonight, late or tomorrow!

This is a story about change. About a city under development. Taking place in a future era, it has elements of a post-apocalypse world. The bomb only took out a few buildings, but sent out a virus that changed the very DNA of those in the city, giving them powers. There are some, however who have no powers, called Shells.

The story takes place roughly six months after the Evo Bomb was used during New Years, and the city has all but gotten back to a new "normal"

---

Now... Onto the powers...

The virus changes those with a strong will. And always, gives powers based on your personality. To demonstrate I have The Nine Kings who represent this:

Lawful King and Queens

Lawful Moral: Orion. He is kind, but aloof, often found wandering about his area giving a helping hand to those who need it. He has Celestial Embodiment, which allows him to call down Angels and use Holy energy with the Touch of Heaven.

Lawful Neutral: Utopia. She is described as distant, calm and very tactful. She has Regeneration, which allows her to regain lost body parts and her minor power of Harbringer of Destiny gives her the ability to astral project.

Lawful Unmoral: Haven. She is cold, overbearing and vain. She cares not for those whom are under her. She is more than enough to handle a threat with her Stasis and Void's Gift.

Chaotic Kings and Queen

Chaotic Moral: Sol. A boisterous man with a vibrant smile who hosts the most parties. Even with the Threat of the Subjects he's got Solar Embodiment and the Curse of the Enflamed to keep him and his own from harm, most of which he causes himself.

Chaotic Neutral: The Mad Titan Mack. He is a true nihilist who gives zero fucks for most people. But for the ones he calls his own, he is a fearsome opponent with his Nihilistic Touch and Eyes of the Mad God. Besides this, he is hailed as a strong leader, and a brilliant strategist.

Chaotic Unmoral: Ah, Luna... What can be said of this Queen is that she is ever changing... Except for her desire to destroy. Twin sister of Sol, she has Lunar Embodiment and Enchantress... Beware of her web of sabatouers and spies.

Neutral Kings and Nomad

Neutral Moral: Nomad. She is patient, kind and efficient. Easily in the top three Kings, she has Telekinesis and Telepathy. She never wanted what the Vectors did and renounced them, causing them to declare her an enemy. She loves life and refuses to take lives.

True Neutral: Only one can claim the crown of the High King. And he is Dragon. The The man who sits on his throne and judges all the others. Balance is what he represents and it is expressed in his Emperor Dragon Embodiment. This fearsome man is one of a kind, and like all dragons, he's demanding, calculative and does what he wants... And never holds back.

Nuetral Unmoral: Nexus, the swiftest man in the city. He's got the looks, the money, and the power to break people who don't do as he says. His Flashpoint and Slipstream mark him as a powerful enemy, or a useful ally.

---

Rules:

No godmodding. There is always something stronger than you. I'll say it right here: No Meta is stronger than the Two Kings of Creation and Nomad, the last Vector.

Keep it real. You're surviving, not living in a mansion. There will be some swearing, some mention of gore... But keep your pants on, people. Fade to black or take it to PMs.

Now... A list of restricted Powers, ask to use them

Ergokinesis
Telekinesis
Suggestion
Telepathy
Spatial Manipulation(only useful for self)
Blood Manipulation(Only useful for self.)
Physiology Changes: No Dragons, already got one, but go wild.

The Districts

---

After the Sickness, chaos reigned throughout the Nine Districts. The City quickly divided into the Districts, laid out as a grid. Like settled with like, and the Center became the home of the Dragon and the Shells he watched over.

District 1- Medtech

Aligned under King Orion, who slew Subject Gamma, Medtech is the home of Central Hospital, and Genesis. Orion regularly patrols the area, and it's deemed as the second safest District in the City.

Faction Leaders(Yes you can be one if you ask):

Orion- King of Light

O R I O N

_______________________________________________ Orion Knightley _______________________________________________ August 2nd | 59 | Caucasian _______________________________________________ Married | ♂ | Homosexual _______________________________________________ Two Masters Degrees-Philosophy/Political Science | Statesman _______________________________________________ Physical Profile ___________________________________ [+] //Basics: • Height | 6'8" • Weight | 256 • Build | Rugged and fit • Hair Colour | Blonde with White streaks • Eye Colour | Bright glowing yellow, almost white, his sclera is an off white Miscellaneous Items ___________________________________ [+] //Every Day Carry: • Sigil of Odin | A hammer pendant with the Helm of Awe.

A p p e a r a n c e D e t a i l s Orion is a tall broad man who's very presence brightens the room he is in. He constantly has some form of dirt on his shoes and hands from work, though his partner makes sure that he as as presentable as possible. He carries himself tall, proud of his achievements and work. He wears a set of fashioned armor that help contain his Light, else he harm those around him as his power is immense. His recent set was crafted by Nomad herself, and designed by his son.

_{P e r s o n a l i t y}

Orion is a bright man, a kind smile and laugh is often had around him. He is patient, steady and firm in his ideals and actions. He wields his might like a true King of Old, many jokingly calling him King Arthur. He is the reason the citizens started calling their leaders Kings and Queens, despite several of them not taking well to it.

Orion avidly fights for his people, and for others. He believes that those who have power must use it responsibly, ethically and most importantly, safely. He despises those who use their Gifts for selfish gain, those who act rashly and in anger and those who commit violence against innocents. He spares them no mercy, though will not kill unless it is a necessary measure. His people view him as just and fair, if a bit aloof. He can run cold on those who anger him, his bright glare piercing and nigh malevolent.

_{C h a r a c t e r S y n o p s i s}

Born and raised in the City, Orion grew up in a lower class family. His father, Peter, worked in the Docks, hauling and packing stock for the Corps. His mother, Artemesia, worked as a clerk for NovaCorp. Orion was an only child as his parents had trouble conceiving, though they adopted two more children by the time Orion turned seven.

Orion was a troublemaker, though quickly learned how to talk his way out of almost any situation. he'd regularly fight the bullies at his school, and grew to be one of the bigger kids, making the sight of him cause them to flee before a fight started. He came out to his family and friends early, at the time when his future husband, Vic, started his transition.

Vic and Orion were inseperable since childhood. Twin souls, Orion did his best to protect him from bullies and his family who refused to accept him. Orion proposed when they turned 18, and they married a year later. They conceived two children, Apollo and Andromeda, a year after their marriage.

Orion earned his degrees, doing his best to support his husband and children. He was loved by his community, moving with his family to District One where Vic was offered a position with Central Hospital to study as a doctor. Orion finished his degrees and was elected as a city official, overseeing the Humanitarian aid.

In the year 2185, Orion was elected as the city's youngest Mayor. He led the city for the maximum length of four terms, 20 years. The people loved him, and he sat at the Head of Mars Senate and on the Interplanetary Council until the EvoBomb detonated, where he was forced to quarantine along with the entire City.

_{A b i l i t i e s & S k i l l s}

_//Abilities:

Light Manipulation, Celestial Body Manipulation | Lux Infinitum

Orion has the ability to freely shape and direct light, as both wave and particles. He also can create structures of starlight, called Angels and use them as he wills. His body produces and stores Light that he can call forth to use as any form of construct or even as energy blasts. He is known for the light he uses creating halos and wings behind him as he channels his power.

Limitation(s) | His range is limited to his perception, though he can affect as far as he can see. The light coming from him is constant, dimming and brightening with his mood.

Weakness(es) | The light must be contained at all times, and uncovered skin is harmful to the touch. He has to wear dampening cuffs and limiters to keep himself from harming his loved ones, which must be replaced every week.

_//Skills:

Statescraft | As a politician who was well known in the City, Orion knows how to convince people with his words and actions. Many look to him for his leadership and compassion, knowing he will do all he can to bring order to the chaotic mess of the city.

_{O T H E R}

Orion is the only King to have no outspoken enemies, and has the largest population.

Victus- Queen of Light
Jaxon- Jack of Light

District 2-The Labs

Home to Nomad and the Tech Corps, The Labs are a cluster of buildings in the north that are dedicated to research and development of cybernetics and enhancements. Notable places are New Vanguard, The Academy of Higher Learning, Ventry Logistics and ARGE.

Faction Leader:

Subject-Nomad, Vector 6

Nomad

_______________________________________________ Alanya Sung _______________________________________________ March 12 | 41 | Japanese American _______________________________________________ Widowed | ♀ | Asexual _______________________________________________ Multiple Doctorates | Researcher at AGRE _______________________________________________ Physical Profile ___________________________________ [+] //Basics: • Height | 5'4" • Weight | 128 • Build | Average • Hair Colour | Black • Eye Colour | Purple Miscellaneous Items ___________________________________ [+] //Every Day Carry: • Nomad's Tablet | Her most used possession, as it holds her notes and research. It acts as a key to every building in The Labs.

A p p e a r a n c e D e t a i l s Nomad, while short in stature, has a very large presence. One of the Vectors, her powers actively affect her environment. This is evident in the way that the objects she's using float around her in a loose orbit. Her purple eyes are piercing and calm, no matter the situation. She generally wears her researcher's garb.

_{P e r s o n a l i t y}

A pacifist at heart who wishes only for the advancement of humankind as they race into the stars, Nomad is kind, patient and thoughtful. She refuses to do harm unless it is necessary and is arguably the smartest person in the entire City. She rebuked the Vectors for their use of the Evolutionary Virus she had dedicated her life to creating, as she believed that those who take it should know the risks and be able to choose for themselves. She harbors great sorrow for the twisted Subjects, and despises Vector One above all else, calling him a Tyrant and a monster.

_{C h a r a c t e r S y n o p s i s}

Alanya Sung was born in District 8, to her parents, Jimsook and Marylin. She was a precocious child, learning everything she could get her hands on, leading to a budding polymath. Her interests turned to genetics when she learned of her father's Alzheimer's, vowing to cure the disease in her lifetime. She would succeed, earning her first Nobel Peace Prize, at the age of 23. She earned two more for her work in Molecular Biology and Genetics by age 38.

She married fellow researcher, Tau Hollis(changed to Sung since she had won a bet), and they wanted to wait for children. Alanya joined AGRE(Advanced Genetics Research and Experimentation), one of the few MegaCorps who had a foothold in Central City at age 29. Tau joined her shortly after, and together they worked on the Evolutionary Enhancement Compound(EEC[pronounced Eek]). Their work culminated on that fateful day when Vector One, Osmund Fremorrow, unleashed it upon the City. In the ensuing chaos, Alanya could not find her husband, who is presumed dead.

_{A b i l i t i e s & S k i l l s}

_//Abilities:

Telekinesis/Telepathy | Fair Winds and Clear Skies

Nomad is known for her ability as a telepath and telekinesis. She can lift several thousand pounds with ease, flicking away objects with a simple gesture of her hand. To her, all minds around her are open for reading, but she mostly uses this to keep her assistants and herself updated. Few know of her true limits as she abhors fighting, but they have witnessed her repel several Subjects at once. With his Telepathy, she can twist what her opponent sees and persuade, though with her ethical code it is only in duress that she uses this.

Limitation(s) | Her telepathic influence can be countered by other telepaths and those with strong wills. Other methods of telepathic defense can be utilized to disable her, but the biggest limitation is her adamant refusal to engage in combat.

Weakness(es) | Data Unavailable

_//Skills:

Researcher | Having developed the virus, Nomad is exceptionally skilled at profiling and analyzing others, especially their abilities and their limits.

_{O T H E R}

Nomad has a noted sweet tooth and will often seek them out in times of stress.

District 3-Ravetown

Home to both The Foundry and Sol, Ravetown was the entertainment district, theatres, nightclubs, bars and the like were clustered here, and the area is lit up at night with vibrant neon holoscreens.

Faction Leadership:

Sol: Christopher Quinlain
Jaeger: Maximillian Quinlain
Cox: Wendy McCollough

The Sky Palace was everything he'd expected and more. "Is that... Genuine Corinithian Brass? Whoa... This place is amazing. I could have totally just flown in." Watching the others, as they travelled to the ledge, Mazorn squatted down and looked over the edge, he was about to offere his skill when Bragi's Communicator performed his runic evocation. He noted the style, the flow of the Wyrd. He scooted over, intrigued, and poked around the object. The guitar, in his sight, echoed as if it was part of the mountain; unmovable.

Spotting the bandages, Mazorn quickly evoked a rune of his own, sending it to combine with the fabric. "Uruz should help keep it's strength. I won't need to use that way, but I'll meet you lot down there. I want to fly around up here for a while and see the whole Palace."

Himinn, which hopped off Sam's shoulder to his master's took to the wind, flying around as Mazorn took to the ledge, entering a free fall as his shape shimmered, beginning to shrink in size until he was a large raven. The communicator took flight, gliding around the area into an updraft before soaring towards the palace.

Sitting on a rock, Nicodemus was resting from a long training session with his bident. He was becoming more familiar with the weapon, something Hades wanted him to learn as quickly as he could. He was quite pleased that here he hadn't seen a single person's demise or have any visions, though there were a few oddities, such as several souls of old Communicators finally having another mortal who could see and speak with them. They were generally helpful, offering advice and even helping with his training, though he'd noticed a few people looking at him strangely as the dead weren't entirely visible to the Living.

"An so, a' punched 'em in tha gut and took him down with me trusty finisher. The ol' lich nevah saw it comin'! Ye should have heard the laugh Big Red gave ah that!" The old Scotsman laughed. He had met his demise in that same battle, though he had won the fight.

"I'm certain you pleased Lord Ares. He's certainly... A personality." Nico shuddered at the memory of the massive man. Hades had all but paraded Nico through the Olympian's Throne Room, allowing him to meet the other gods and a few of the communicators who were there. Having taken a class or two on what the world believed were myths, he was surprised to find that most of it was true.

He was surprised to see how receptive Persephone was of him. The large woman practically coddled him the entire time he was there. He quickly learned why she was called Dread Persephone when Ares made a backhand comment about Hades' new communicator. He shivered at the memory of black roses filling the area with thorns. Definitely not someone you wanted to piss off, that goddess. She had simply causes them to retract and went back to petting Nico's hair and telling him "Not to worry his pretty little head. Which has very soft hair, you absolutely must go see Aphrodite and get a spa day."

His experience of the Olympians went nearly as expected. Out of them, Lady Hestia was quickly becoming a favorite. He didn't think anyone could make such good food that felt like a grandmother's love. He had eaten his full ever since he came, many of the warrior gods commenting that he needed to bulk up, and they would make sure that he did so.

His experience with the other pantheons was in interesting one. he found that Anubis was interesting to talk to and Hades and Osiris were actually on quite good terms, as they both enjoyed similar things. He found that Odin told some good stories and approved of his hellhound, who currently lounged in the shade. Skotadi was growing in size quite quickly, something he was told to expect to happen.

Noticing his pup's ears perk up and jump to his feet, Nico looked around. The hellhound pup shook himself off before bounding into a nearby shadow, vanishing as he used the old ways of transportation, his owner close behind. They exited at the bridge, seeing newcomers taking off heavy winterized gear. The hound ignored Nico's calls as the three foot tall, five foot long beast barreled towards them, barking happily.

"Oh, Tartaros! Skotadi! Heel!" Nico was absolutely mortified, his fear gripping him tight as he noticed the commotion he was making, the hellhound, sensing his master in peril, turned on his heels and bounded back, rubbing his face on the man's waist. "You're supposed to be helping me, you crazy pup..." His face was beet red, flushed from head to chest with embarrassment.

Nodding his head, Mazorn responded. "Aye. I've been doing this... For almost a month. He's generally responsive if I need him to be, otherwise he'll give cryptic clues." The large men kept his eye out, spying the remains of some draugr that had been freshly killed. He tilted his head as he heard the sound of other people. He motioned for the other man to follow as he headed over, noticing the wrapped bundle. He pointed the spear at it and set it alight. "Better to give draugr the rest they deserve. They're all over the mountain."

The raven flitted to his shoulder, preening before cawing once. "Cling to life, the dead do. And no place more full than in a god's demesne."

"Indeed..." Mazorn noted. He led the way, entering a brighter area where the others were a short while later. "Well, then... Looks like we found more Communicators!" He grinned as Himinn left his shoulder and flitted towards the one with the guitar. With his vision, he could feel a sort of musical resonance, which the raven confirmed with two chirps.

"A son, a song."

Laughing, the man shook his head, tapping Gungnir on the ground. "So you're Bragi's. I'm not sure who the rest of you are, but I'm Mazorn, this is Torb. We aren't too far from the barrier and I do suggest we move quickly towards it. There are greater dangers than the undead and some giant animals out here. Otherwise a barrier wouldn't exactly be necessary..."
