[h2][i]Premise/Summary[/i][/h2]

Below is a narrative introduction but first: a summary! As the title suggests, this is a RP about people with powers/special abilities.  These may vary from regenerative abilities through to telekinesis. It is set in the modern day and the characters will be young adults (early twenties, specifically 20-25).  Everyone's characters will start out weak and slowly grow in strength as the RP progresses. They will not have even been aware of the existence of powers before they enter the facility where they will awaken them (to be clear, they do not currently have any powers). Example: If your power is telekinesis you aren't going to be flinging large objects at people.  More like knocking over cans in a shooting gallery. With your mind.

This is a reboot/rewrite of a successful RP from Old Guild and had several parts but I'm hoping to have a new cast with new characters and so a new story will unfold (although I am of course happy for returning players to use their previous characters).

Without spoiling anything, this RP has quite a long and very changeable plot.

[h2][i]Introduction[/i][/h2]

You had been feeling ill for a few weeks but thought little of it, the flu goes around and around this time of year and surely you just fell victim to one of its many strains?  Yet, here you are, whisked away from your home, or the doctor's office, or from your workplace, by an anonymous task force dressed in full body bio-hazard suits who insist that you have no normal illness.  Your illness heralds the coming on of powers, inhuman and never before known powers, and you have been taken to a secure facility in which to safely develop these, they say.

Scarcely can you believe it, so fantastical is the tale that has been weaved for you.  They tell you that others before you were less lucky, not reached in time and their power grew beyond their subconscious control and wreaked havoc on themselves and their surroundings.  One would be sceptical, in this situation, if it were not for the chance you have been given to call your family who explain government representatives have informed them of the situation.  You are safe here, in this facility, where you can be trained to develop your power so that it is no longer a threat to you or others.

Once this is done, the symptoms of your 'illness' will recede and you will no longer be infectious, a threat to others.  So you are resigned to this temporary life, away from your friends, family and home in a luxurious facility specifically designed to accommodate your every need until it is safe for you to return to society.

And yet you cannot help but feel that something is not right.  Perhaps it is because you feel ill, because so much is going on around you which you do not understand.  Maybe you have just seen too many superhero films and the situation you are currently in never works out well for the heroes involved.  Still, things are never quite what they seem.  Especially when dealing with the complete unknown of Empowered Humans.

[h2][i]Character Sheet and Guidelines[/i][/h2]

Name:
Age: 20-25, a date of birth would be ideal. This will be set modern day, we'll say 7th November 2017 as the start date
Gender:
Sexuality:
Appearance: Picture/Photo/Description or a mix, I'm not picky as long as you're happy it describes your character as you want it to.

History: Self-explanatory, any details about their family life, education, work experience etc.  These people should have led fairly 'normal', mainstream lives.  Nothing like something out of a Prologue for a straight-to-DVD martial arts film which you'd fall asleep to on a Saturday night in.  They will NOT have had any experience/signs/history with powers, they have not existed in the world until this moment and until these people enter the facility they will have no powers at all.

Power: the all important part! Best to be general here to start with, for example telekinesis, control of electricity, super strength etc. We can go into more detail as powers develop and the characters come to understand their powers a little better. Remember that they will start off very weak, almost the point they barely noticed they had a power at all and it will slowly develop as time goes on.

Please add in any other details you feel are relevant/necessary for your character.

If you have questions/suggestions/ideas feel free PM me or post in the thread. All sheets must be approved by me before posted into the character tab. Please post then into the OOC below for review.

Oh, and rules...

The usual things. No over powered characters (unless I give permission!), no abuse in the IC or the OOC, be nice to one and another and if you're going to be [i]really[/i] nice to one another then fade to black and take it to PMs. That said I'd like to think we're all fairly sensible here and I'm pretty chill about most things.

However: No 'lolis', no mystical nonsense and no going over the top of any kind.  The characters in this roleplay are adults and I would expect them to behave as such, as I would the roleplayers.

I will work out a Skype chat or something similar if people want to have a platform for random chatter outside of the constrains of the OOC.
