In a secret government laboratory, scientists have been working on a new weapon. This weapon is not something large like an atom bomb, or a missile. No, they are working on a weapon, or rather weapons, that influence the human senses. They hoped to create the super soldier, and they thought that the senses were perfect for the first step. With advanced scientific methods, unknown to the public, the scientists created these weapons in the form of badges/brooches, one for each sense. They have created a large number of prototypes and tested them on willing human participants, and on animal subjects. The prototypes have shown that the technology, when used by the human participant, not only heightens the sense, but it also gives them powers revolving around that sense. Unfortunately, the prototypes turned the human participants into monsters when they were used. Regardless of the danger to the participants, they continued their research, hoping to perfect the power they had so that the bearers wouldn't turn into monsters. After making prototype after prototype, the scientists created thirteen badges/brooches that were different than the other prototypes. When the scientists tried to test those thirteen badges/brooches on the human participants, there were no results. The participants didn't even turn into monsters from those thirteen badges/brooches. The thirteen badges/brooches were considered to be harmless duds, and were thrown out. However, the scientists didn't even begin to consider that someone would take those thirteen badges/brooches. One day, the lab was infiltrated and the human participants that were turned into monsters were unleashed on the lab, and while the laboratory was in chaos and confusion, all of the prototypes were stolen. The monsters killed the majority of the scientists, but there were a few who managed to escape and come to realize that the prototypes were stolen and out and about. The scientists realized the danger, and initiated the hunt for the prototypes in order to get them back, with the government's help. The search went on for years, and if a monster ever showed up and attacked, it was always covered up by the government. The monsters were always killed despite the knowledge that they were once human. During their search however, they come across something they'd never expect to find. Twelve teenagers who lived normal lives are given twelve of the thirteen badges/brooches each, by a mysterious figure who hid all of their features under a hat and with a large brown trench coat. The mysterious figure disappeared before the teenagers could even question the person or chase after them. The teenagers hold onto the brooches/badges, and they slowly find that a particular sense of theirs is heightened, and other strange things happen around them. They soon find themselves in a middle of a monster attack. To their, and the scientists', surprise, their brooches not only gave them powers, but also allowed the teenagers to transform, not into monsters, but into superheroes with their own unique weapon. The teenagers defeat the monster, but instead of killing the monster, they turned the monster back into a human. The teenagers (at least some of them) decide to take up the role of heroes and defend their home from the monsters, while the scientists decide to observe them for the time being (they'll intervene at some point during the rp). Both are unaware of the threat that is growing, plotting, and manipulating things behind the scenes. *~*~* *Note: This will take place in Japan. Anyways, onto the senses (available for the player characters' sentai characters. Italics shows who has dibs on which sense. Strikeout means the Character sheet for the particular sentai is up.) [s][i]-Vision (TheRider)[/i][/s] [s][i]-Auditory (GuardianAngelHaruki)[/i][/s] -Proprioception [s][i]-Motion (TheMM00s3)[/i][/s] [s][i]-Vestibular/Balance (MonkeyBusiness)[/i][/s] -Touch [s][i]-Pain (BlackCat)[/i][/s] [s][i]-Temperature (Hero)[/i][/s] -Smell (NPC for now. Available if anyone wants to control him) -Taste [s][i]-Time (Keyblade87)[/i][/s] [s]-Humor (Prince)[/s] [hider=The Rules]-Follow the Typical Roleplayer Guild Forum rules -Post one character for now, but if less than 12 people are in the rp and no one else seems to be joining, then you can post a second character! -Provided there is enough room, new RPers can join in, in the middle of the rp. -If you're dropping the rp, or are going to be gone for some time, Let us know! I will do the same! -In the event that I am gone for some time, in the rp the duration I am gone will be the RP's "Free Time". "Free Time" will be a brief respite for the characters, there will be little to no monster attacks, and that will give your characters time to do what they wish (within reason of course) while they recuperate. -In the case that you are dropping the rp and lost interest, let us know if you'd rather have someone else take over your character, have me take over the character as an NPC, or just have your character killed off and have the brooch/badge passed on to someone else. -Creativity is great, but I also ask you to be proactive and collaborate with me and other rpers! If you have any ideas for the rp, feel free to PM me or anyone else about them and we can discuss ideas, whether it's about your character, plot, or NPCs. If you don't have any ideas, then don't worry about PMing me. I feel that being proactive will not only make the rp fun and have a great storyline, but it may also lower chances of dropping. I too will share and discuss ideas, but I will not share all of them. Don't want to spoil anything that may happen later on ;) -Speaking of Creativity, You guys have a chance to create your own human antagonist if you guys want. I already have a Final Boss in mind for this rp, but what I don't have are the human antagonists to face off against before the Final Boss. Make sure that your human antagonists are powerful enough to face the sentai. Again, be creative. -You can also come up with some of the NPCs, since the monsters the sentai will face may very well be people that the sentai know and/or love. -If you feel that an enemy is too powerful for the sentais to take on alone, don't worry! There will definitely be plot devices to help you out! -Any questions? Feel free to ask, and I will do my best to answer them. If I don't answer, feel free to pester me about it. -Still with me? Great. This is the last rule: Have Fun! Let's make this one AWESOME rp![/hider] [hider=Character Skeleton]Name: Age: Sentai: ((Which Sentai are you? The Sentai of Vision, Sentai of Hearing, etc.)) Weapon: Abilities: ((There are three slots below for basic abilities that will allow you to attack an enemy or defend yourself. Just remember that your abilities revolve around your sense. Don't include your sense being heightened as it's already an innate ability when your character has the badge/brooch)) - - - Healing/Restoration Technique: ((This technique is what you'll use to turn monsters back into humans, and heal people and sentai)) Last Resort: ((This technique is the most powerful attack you can pull off by yourself. However, you can only use this attack when desperate times call for desperate measures. This ability will take a lot of energy, and there is a chance that you could die after using this ability.)) Combos: ((Don't worry too much about this for now. This will be a list of attacks you can do when you combine your powers with a fellow sentai. These combos are considered to be stronger than normal attacks, considering you're working together with another sentai. This list will grow as the rp goes on, so you can adjust this list as we go on. Combinations of Last Resorts will be included in here as well)) Personality: Brief Bio: Everyday Appearance: Sentai Appearance: ((Masks are not required, but your character does need to look slightly different (Different hair color and length, and eye color for example) so that nobody can recognize them as the sentai)) [/hider] [hider=Characters thus far!] [u]Auditory Sentai by GuardianAngelHaruki! (WIP)[/u] Name: Hibiki Kawada Age: 16 Sentai: Auditory Sentai Weapon: Bow and Arrows Abilities: -Sonic Screech-A basic attack that causes damage to enemies, and can destroy fragile things (like glass). -Sound Empowerment-She can convert the sounds around her into extra energy for her to use and make herself, or her allies, stronger. -Sound Absorption-She can absorb other sound waves around her and use that to power to either make her sonic screeches much more powerful, or channel that energy she got from the sounds around her into her arrows. Healing/Restoration Technique: Healing Serenade-Singing the Healing Serenade will also channel some of her energy into the sound waves she creates, and as the sound waves hit her allies, civilians, and the monster, they will be healed and the monster will be turned back into a human. Last Resort: Swan Song-Singing the swan song will channel all of the energy she can use in the form of sound into her arrows. After she sings the Swan Song, she will fire the arrows and after they hit the target, they will explode and cause great damage to the target. Combos: ((Coming soon!)) Personality: A little shy and reserved, idealist, optimistic, friendly, klutzy, low self-confidence, determined in her goals, can be very stubborn. She tends to be a bit of a people-pleaser, but that quality allows her to be a mediator. Normally, she's a very calm and patient person, but there is a chance that she could fly into a frenzied rage if someone really really offends her. She can get easily distracted, and that would get worse with her hearing heightened. She is a bit of a tomboy in the sense that she doesn't care about make-up or fashion, and isn't afraid of bugs. However, she dislikes violence (unless in a frenzied rage). Brief Bio: Hibiki lives with her mother as she attends high school. Her father divorced and left the family when she was very young. Her mother never talked about him after that, so Hibiki doesn't know anything about her father. She subconsciously blamed herself for that incident. Along with attending high school, she works part time in a book store. She has a few friends, but a lot of girls at her school tend to make fun of her, especially for how bad she is at singing and playing music (but with her being the Auditory sentai, this improves greatly). Despite being bullied, she always goes on with a smile and remaining optimistic. However, she is bottling up her sadness and anger...
