So basically the RP is set up in the Infamous universe. If you know know what the universe is hey no worries, you won't really need to know much and I'll provide all you need to know with the official RP post if this garners enough interest. As the title states its in the works, reason being because I see this going three ways, one way is the usual way this RP goes, another takes a different twist, and the last one chucks the other two out the window so lets get the basics first before I give the choices:

Conduits are a sub-species of humans who possess superhuman abilities afforded to them by the "Conduit gene". Conduits can be present in both humans and animals, and their abilities can range from manipulation of a certain forms of energy or matter, to flight, enhanced senses and strength, or other physical and mental enhancements.
Conduits are the result of a rare mutation in human beings. This ostensibly named "Conduit gene" is naturally occurring. Those with the Conduit gene usually have no powers at birth and may live their whole lives without realizing what they are, with a few ways of identifying Conduit potential.


So for an easy way to think about a conduit, think Xmen but there are some slight differences. Don't worry that will be covered in the main RP when it goes up so what story ideas do we have well here are the three:

-Taking place five years after certain events, conduits have been for the most part accepted into society, with little resistance by opposing groups, however a new opposition is rising that simply calls itself the Syndicate and horrifying they have discovered a means to turn off or take away a conduit's powers. Ultimately it won't matter if you use your powers for good or bad or even if you are neutral if no one does nothing then conduits will be wiped off the map.

-Now this follows a similar idea to the first one but rather then five years later, this takes place only a year after certain events where society is still adjusting with the idea of conduits living next to them. Tension is high across the country with very little needing to start a fight in a public place. Can the conduits learn to adapt or will normal people never accept them causing a new internal civil war among citizens.

-Finally the third throws those two out the window taking place after different events that has left the world in a state of distress. A plague was unleashed in the beginning, very few people could survive it. The creature simply called The Beast was ravaging everything destroying cities and killing millions to awaken those few with the conduit gene. The government fell apart in chaos and now a resistance has to be made, one that unites conduits and normal people under one banner to combat this dark creature or normal man faces extinction while this renegade conduit consumes everything to try and make a new world.

So yeah those are the ideas. Granted the first idea does have the most work with it due to having the rp for awhile now and reviving it a few times.

Also basically this is what the CS will look like if this gets off the ground:

If I may throw in my 5 cents: A mixture of all 3 sounds rather awesome to me. The world has just started to accept the conduits, however there are still resistance and fear against them in the larger population: while conduits aren't hunted down or feared throughout the society - and the government has "officially" acknowledged them - anti-conduit groups have formed and gained a large following. This is especially the case with the "Syndicate" who is said to have been formed by former governmental agents. This group presents themselves as the light that seeks to cleanse the world from the abominations that are the conduits. At the same time the government has started to limit the freedom of Conduits (filing them etc.) which means that some conduits have started to feel oppressed and began to rebel (inFamous), while others believe that order is indeed a good thing - or at least people shouldn't get hurt (heroes). Lastly: because of an event at a certain point (let's call it "The Happening" - mainly because I couldn't figure out the right word while writing this) a mysterious plague has grown roots in the poorer areas/slums and has slowly started spreading, causing chaos in its wake.

Anyway, just my thoughts. Not sure if anyone even likes it, but I just like stories with a lot of depth and many possibilities - so please feel free to ignore my "rant" if you think it is rubbish ^^

That could be interesting, combining all three a bit.

I'm very interested. Are we allowed to write up our characters using the skeleton you've used in your own sheets?

Also, are there any rules I should be aware of? Such are the typical 'no blood manipulation outside of your own body' / 'no cosmic abilities'?

I dont plan on running it, because people who do tend to have boring characters, but I think it should be covered if you can have a Power copier or not. Just because Delsin's the face of InFAMOUS at the moment.

Yes I go through and approve powers but to talk about past powers, I have seen the blood one and yeah the blood manipulation was only limited to that characters own blood. Cosmic powers probably be way to far out there to allow, and a power similar to Delsin is a no-no. Can people have same powers as someone else? Yes BUT I'm going to kind of cover the rule behind that since I much prefer seeing people with unique powers from one another rather then seeing twelve people running pyro abilities.

If you want go ahead and use the character sheet, here I'll provide what is normally used so it will be made easier:



There might be a few additions in the final post but this is what is usually used.

Question!

Will our character's abilities be able to suck on more than one element? for example if you could manipulate water could you also suck up water vapor?

OR

if you could manipulate plasma could you suck up electricity and gas? but only for the purpose of generating plasma?

I'm probably going to have to say they can only do one element. Just for balancing purposes.

Also expect the OOC up tonight, sorry work just made me tired so I crash before I could finish it up.

Yes, I don't expect anybody to be full power out the gate. They might have some development over others but full potential I don't think so.

Alright cool, since I wanted to make a character that is sort of 'new' at being a conduit, fighting at least, but starts to learn more about his powers once things get going.
