The world has changed pretty drastically over the past few decades.

Technology advanced, lives got longer, people started donating more to Africa. You get the gist.

Oh, and pretty recently something about the human genome has changed. Some people started producing a new energy- one that gave them superpowers. It was like something right out of a comic book. There weren't heroes like in the stories though. People are innately self driven and these powers were... not used to benefit much of anyone.

The world changed. These gifted individuals might have had power, but the regulars had numbers, and fear, and religions, and weapons that fired high calibre lead at supersonic speeds which pretty much put anything that wasn't made of stone down as quick as a regular person. They had to find other means for the golems.

More of these... metahumans began popping up around the globe, and while there were the bad apples- there were the good ones too. The ones that were paramedics using their electricity to revive their patients, or using their ability to read minds to teach more effectively. The comic books ended up being pretty inaccurate. There weren't many of them, less than a thousandth of the population. Do the math though- in this world that's still over ten million people.

The world saw that these people could slaughter and burn, but it also saw that it could save lives and innovate. The world called for change again- To train these gifted people to push the world forward through academies and learning programs, and the world came together towards one common goal.

A promise for a greater tomorrow.

Not to be confused with [i]The[/i] Promise of course.

[i]The[/i] Promise is the world's most incredible endeavor yet. An Academy in orbit.

A city in the sky.

[i]The[/i] Promise is where [i]you're[/i] going, actually. You've either been chosen through a draw and agreed to go to school in a giant space station 22,000 miles away from the ground, or you've been dragged there kicking and screaming to to taught how to be civil or to be ejected into space for the safety of those around you.

Oh, and before I go- yes, you [i]can[/i] turn the gravity off.

[b]▸ N I C K N A M E / A L I A S : |[/b] Is there anything else you go by? Just put an N/A here if not.
[b]▸ G E N D E R : | [/b] Basically, what your character identifies as.
[b]▸ A G E : |[/b] Let's try to keep it between 16-21 years old.
[b]▸ H E I G H T : |[/b] In inches/feet please.
[b]▸ W E I G H T : |[/b] In pounds please.
[b]▸ E T H N I C I T Y : |[/b] Where does your character descend from?
[b]▸ Y E A R : |[/b] How long have you been on the promise? Most of the cast will be freshman, with one or two older students. Age is irrelevant- grade level is determined by how long you've spend on The Promise.

[indent]Essentially how your character looks. Be detailed here. Go over build, hair (including color, style, etc), scars, and other body alterations (Piercings, tattoos, etc). Essentially, anything that isn't covered above. Faceclaims can ACCOMPANY the description, and can be of real people or art (but I do not accept anime). I'd like to see at least five or so sentences here.[/indent]

[b]▼ | P E R S O N A L I T Y : | [/b]
[indent]How does your character act around other people? How are they deep down? What are their morals, philosophy, dreams, and more? I understand this can be hard sometimes, because putting a person down on a paper isn't always a simple task. Just do your best, a few sentences should give me the gist. If you're going to be edgy, I'll expect a bit more justification.[/indent]

[b]▼ | B A C K S T O R Y : | [/b]
[indent]What happened in your character's past that shaped them into the person they are today? Why they are here? You can gloss over events you'd rather reveal in-character. As it is above, if you're gonna be an edgelord, make sure your backstory checks out.[/indent]

[indent]Thoroughly describe your character's power, and all strengths (Don't link or copy/paste from powerlistings, tho). [/indent]

[b]▼ | L I M I T S | W E A K N E S S E S : | [/b]
[indent]The difference between limits and weaknesses is that limits is a restriction. Something like range that your character can overcome. As for weaknesses, list anything an opponent can take advantage of, or any negative side effects. The more powerful the ability, the more I expect to see here.[/indent]
