A spiritual successor to the dead RP ᴀᴘᴏᴛʜᴇᴏsɪs: __ɢᴇɴᴇsɪs.

There is a very definitive difference in Before and After when talking about traumatic events. You never thought you were special.

That is, until they came for you.

They came at night for most. All you knew about it was a flash of electrical light and a jolt of pain, then limpness and darkness. Days later, you awoke in a small cell. Some kind of laboratory-prison of a sort, you're not sure. All you know is that something is desperately wrong here. This isn't how anything was supposed to go.

That's when powers started to manifest. Little by little, bit by bit, something started to trickle into your awareness. Something you'd never noticed before. You aren't sure if it's because of this place, or if you've always been this way, but either way, something about you is most definitely exceptional. You aren't sure how long you were in that place. They ran tests on you; gave you pills, stuck you with needles. But then, one day, something happened. Again, you aren't sure what...but your cell was open. Cameras lolled on their posts. You managed, with some luck, to escape the facility, running off into the surrounding wilderness, accompanied by a few others, a ragtag group of escapees.

And so Before ended, and After began.


---

The premise of this RP is fairly common; you're a young person, anywhere from twelve or so through about twenty-five, and you were captured by some suits and carted off to a laboratory where you were experimented on. While you were there, some exceptional talent developed. Perhaps you can manipulate energy now. Perhaps kinetic force bows to your will. Whatever happened, now you're free, having escaped under mysterious circumstances. You don't know, but you're pretty sure you're being chased.

So, anyone interested?

Sounds to me like the “escaping the facility with a ragtag group of escapees” sounds more interesting and fun to play out then the ‘after’ part. But that’s just me. Tentatively interested?

I'd like to play as the antagonist. There was this one character I made with a short-lived old account, and I'm itching to recreate him. The original one was kinda cringy, to be honest.

DEFINITELY interested. This is exactly the kind of roleplay I've been itching to jump into.

Interested, will we be choosing our powers or will they be assigned? Because this seems like a great type of RP for people to not have a choice in their powers

@duskshine749 that's a cool idea too, I don't think I've played it that way before. Maybe we'd make a character premise first, and then get assigned them?

All depends on how Lemons wants to approach things, at any rate.

Hodamn, that's more people than I expected. Alright, I'll write up a CS. Expect it and the OOC sometime tonight. I originally intended people to come up with their own powers, but if y'all get behind it, I could assign them.

And Lemons does what it would take me a week to do in a single day. Sadness.

@Inkarnate I mean...you created an entirely separate world. Apples to oranges.

Is a spiritual successor not essentially building from scratch?

And that could totally be a thing. It all depends on what y'all want. Thoughts?

But like...it takes place in our world. Today. Probably somewhere in the Northeastern coast of the United States. Not in an entirely separate worldspace.

OOC

And I've decided to go with a compromise system. If you guys want to make your own powers, have at it. If not, then tell me and I'll whip something up for you.
