Hello and welcome! Thank you for checking out this thread! I hope that you are looking forward to this RP just as much as I am. Maximum Ride is one of my favorite set of books to read. Including the manga version. The movie was okay but I honestly prefer the books. Even though the series is one of my favorites my mind can only hold so much info. So sometimes the internet is a helpful tool. But this RP isn't strongly based around the series. We will be using some of the same concepts. Such as erasers, whitecoats, avian teenagers, other mutants, and so on.

But before we go further into detail here are a few things you should read upon first. This way you know who are dealing with and also a few things I require from you guys. I am a fairly easy going person. So if you have any questions feel free to ask them here.
I am female, and I am in my twenties.
  • Oddly I play male roles better than female roles. So expect my character to be male.
  • Though there might be a chance I might change my mind...

My response time varies, some days I can reply everyday to about once a week. I have a busy life.
  • I live within the Pacific Time Zone.
  • I work five days a week, sometimes long hours.

I personally like writing 3 paragraphs or more. 3 paragraphs minimal if I am having a hard time coming with something to write.
  • It all depends on how much information is given.
  • Very little info means less to work with. In turn, harder for people to write lengthy replies.
  • Though I am pretty good at coming with things on a whim. I just need time to piece everything together.

I am no robot, so don't treat me as such. I do make mistakes. Just kindly point them out if you see any.
  • I do sometimes make some grammar mistakes, and as well as punctuation errors.
  • My mistakes happen usually when I am super tired and/or writing too fast and haven't reread my work before posting.
  • Again if you see me making mistakes please kindly let me know, and I will do the same.


Please be able to write more than one paragraph at a time.
  • One liners are absolutely not necessary.
  • I know sometimes writers block gets the better out of all of us, please do the best that you can under this circumstance.
  • Please reread your work before posting.
  • Try to use enough detail within your posts to explain the outcome, item, person etc.

When replying....
  • I am pretty lax about how constant replies come in. Everyday great! Once or twice a week I am fine with that as well.
  • What I am not okay with is people disappearing without a reason to why. Disappear for two weeks then suddenly come back.
  • I am going to say this now, if you give no clear reason or one at all to why you haven't replied in a certain amount of time: Your character will suddenly disappear from the group...

Respect each other.
  • Nothing pet peeves me the most than people making unnecessary comments, bashing other people's work and so on.
  • If you can't say anything nice... walk away.
  • Helpful tips, and suggests are all fine. But there's the right way and the wrong way of doing it.

Characters
  • One character per person.
  • Please do not copy someone else's character.
  • I have noticed people coping ideas or bits of information from others when posting characters. It has happened to me and it's annoying...
  • Be creative. If I notice any copycats you will not be accepted.
  • Anime/manga images please.
  • Forms must be completed!

For quick information click here. Or read what I have written up below. Especially if you never read the Maximum Ride series. I am accepting anyone who is who is interested. Despite if you read the books or not. I am not listing everything. Just a handful of the more important pieces. Everything else will come into play later. When and if they do. Again this RP isn't strongly based around the series.
Whitecoats
  • To many the whitecoats look just your avenge human, who have genius thinking capabilities. A lot of them are able to hide their true intentions. Blending into society without revealing who they really are and what they are capable of. But those who deal with them on a day to day bases know better. Whitecoats are nothing more than mad scientists ready to experiment on any poor soul. Making “improvements” when they see fit. The whitecoats are good at keeping secrets, but like to play mind games by giving small hints. So it isn't clear to what their official plans are. They always claim it is better the future generations, to help the human species and as well a majority of the animals to survive what is about to come.

Erasers
  • Scientific enhanced humans, who work for the whitecoats. The erasers are fused with wolf DNA. Making them stronger, faster and a whole lot nastier. They also have heightened senses such as hearing and smell. Sneaking up on an eraser is a terrible mistake. They appear just like any other human. Until they trigger their inner wolf. Their nails turn into claws, teeth become sharper, and gain some extra hair/fur. But do not take on a werewolf or wolf-like appearance. Take note that most of them are actually kids. Strange at it may sound. Do to the wolf DNA the kids effected with it they age rapidly. Causing them to have adult bodies while being a child trapped inside. Erasers are also tattooed on the nap of their necks. The tattoo is expiration date. Most don't live pass seven years after becoming an eraser.

Avians
  • Genetically alerted humans. Fused with avian -bird- DNA. Giving them wings, lighter bones, air sacs, strength and some inherit other abilities. The wings can span anywhere between 14 to 18 feet, depending on body height. Thinner bones so they take off when need too, also helps them stay afloat. Air sacs are located near their lungs, so they can fly at higher altitudes. Unlike the erasers the avian group are solely used as experiments. Some never see the light of day. Some work for the whitecoats only because they were brainwashed to do so or have no other choice. Those who manage to escape are always looking over their shoulders. Hiding in plain sight or in isolation. In order to blend in society the avians have to fold their wings up tightly against their backs which is uncomfortable but effective. The other abilities the avians have consists of turning invisible, control technology, fuse through walls, run at inhuman speeds and so on.



You don't have to worry about coding for I already have it figured out. But please do fill everything out. If you need an idea onto how please take a look at my character within the Character section of this thread. When any changes needs to be made later down the road just let me know and I can edit when need too.

Khari Obobanjo


"In my experience, I've found that the men who start wars are rarely the ones who fight them."
Theme Song: N/A | Font Color: White | Experiment No. 205

Gender: Male
Age: 19
Date of Birth: May 2, 1998

Physical Appearance:
Khari has dark skin and black, shoulder length hair styled in dreadlocks. His eyes are chocolate brown, and show signs of his aging beyond his years. Khari carries himself like he's already old, harden from years of battles he should have never had to fight. He is covered in scars, some old, some new. Khari is fairly large; he stands at 6 six feet even, and is well muscled.

Personality:
Khari has a serious nature, and always has. Having been deprived of his childhood, one could say that he has always been an adult. He is intelligent, stern, and tends to be the level headed man of any group. He tends to be more on quiet side, only chiming in when its actually needed. Having been on the outside longer than most other experiments, he's often asked what the real world is like. Khari has never answered such questions, as he feels his personal experience isn't one to go by.

The only good thing to come out of the School was the actual schooling. Khari was given a chance to receive an education that he'd never been given before. When it comes to his schoolwork, he is very studious. He takes it seriously and will stay up studying for tests as if his life depends on it. The way he figures, if he ever gets out, it very well may.

Strengths:
Khari is best known for his fighting skills, weaponry skills, and physical strength. When the school targeted orphanages in third world, warring countries, picking out former child soldiers was no accident. They were young enough to remodel into their hybrids, but still trained and often willing to kill. They made excellent erasers and super soldiers, as many would unquestioningly obey commands as they had been taught to their whole lives. Khari was lucky enough to have one more strength: His mind. He is very intelligent and independent, even if he never got a chance to show it before.

Weaknesses:
One can imagine that growing up on a battlefield leaves one with a lot of scars; not all of those scars can be seen. Khari will likely never completely get over the trauma he endured. Some nights it keeps him up, others, it wakes him out of his sleep. He tends to be on the cynical side, though one can hardly blame him. Khari takes anxiety medicine at the School to ensure that he doesn't experience panic attacks. This is one of the reasons he hasn't been sold off as a soldier or turned into an eraser.

Mutant Powers:
Can't think of anything right now. Might add one later.

Wing Appearance:
Tri-colored raptor wings that stretch out to 16 feet tip to tip. They are very flexible, folding up neatly along his back to make him almost unnoticeable under normal clothing. Khari was lucky to come along later in the game, when the white coats had worked the kinks out of graphing wings onto already existing subjects. While not quite as good as those who are born with them, he a surprisingly agile flyer.

Background Story:

It's not something Khari likes talking about, but he will if coaxed. He was born in a small village in West Africa, in a country plagued by the war. Their village was protected by government troops, until the troops fell and the rebel militia took over. It was a dark time: men and young boys were seized, forced to join the rebel troops, women were abused and killed. Khari was only four when it began, and six when the government finally came and fought the rebels off. The village thought they were saved. They weren't.

Most of the villagers had already fled during the take over, and the government troops assumed whoever remained were aligned with the rebels. The massacre began. Khari's mother told him to run as fast and far as he could, and never to look back. He can only assume she was killed.

Khari escaped into the countryside and lived off the land for a little while. He wasn't happy, but he wasn't particularly unhappy either. He figured he'd live that way forever, until he came across a rebel military faction. They captured him and forced him into the ranks of their mercenary battalion; at age six, Khari became a child soldier.

The next two years passed in a blur. The battalion took towns, ambushed troops, killed mercilessly and indiscriminately. Khari learned to shoot a gun as easy as one drinks water. The absentminded killing is something that still haunted Khari to this day. How could he have ever been capable of such things?

Khari was ten when government troops captured his battalion. The adults were detained, and the children were sent to a missionary orphanage. The facilities left something to be desired, food was scarce, and the beds were rickety and lumpy, but it was leaps and bounds better than where he had been. Khari was unlikely to ever be adopted. But, by some miracle, a very wealthy American man came by to meet him, and adopted him that very same day.

He later found out that this wasn't so lucky. The man was a recruiter for the school, and collecting kids from orphanages across the world was what he did for a living. Khari got to the school and the experiments began. The rest can go without saying.

I love your character Metronome!! Very well balanced. And I like the fact he has a more mature prospective of the world.
@Metronome

I have slowly started working on the opening plot. Length wise I am not sure. Long, short or in between. As I am working on it feel free to read it. Please give me any input you have if you feel like sharing. I am confident that the plot will be finished by this weekend. And again please take your time on your character sheet. Though I would apprentice it if you complete them sometime next week. My excitement for this RP is testing my patience XD

Phoenix "Nix"


I drew that myself cuz i couldn't find what i wanted.

"I won't pick a fight with ya, boyo, but I am no' gonna let ya beat me up."

Theme Song: Fall Out Boy - Pheonix | Font Color: f26522 | Experiment No. 259

Gender
Male

Age
18

Date of Birth
August 29th

Physical Appearance
At a lean height of 6'3, with flaming, feathery hair that reaches to below his shoulder blades, Nix is easily awe-inspiring to strangers. Named for the bird of myth, Nix often has a few whitecoats refer to him as The Phoenix, for his mannerisms and the way he holds himself are almost ethereal. Long, graceful limbs and green blue eyes, angular facial features and high cheekbones. His skin is a pale golden color, and along his spine is a scar about 6 inches long. His muscles are sleek and streamlined, not at all like the ones you might see on a body builder. His slightly loose clothes hide the power in his body, which has caused many opponents to underestimate him. An irish trinity knot rests on a slender, strong chain around his neck.

Personality
He is calm and quiet most of the time, preferring to watch things progress. He's sarcastic, especially when dealing with whitecoats and erasers. He's as protective as a dragon and twice as fierce. Nix can be foul tempered when it rains or after a fight due to the overabundance of adrenaline his body produces. He has strong insecurities but prefers not to voice them, and he occasionally snaps, then flies off to blow off steam (sometimes literally). Nix hates having his feet knocked out from under him, or having his legs pinned due to the accident and then screwed up surgery he had been given. He sometimes has nightmares over the memories.

Strengths
Fast and graceful flier, can be counted on to remain steady when in a tough situation, and he's extremely strong from having to drag himself around for almost six years. He does his own strict, rigorous physical workout to remain so.

Weaknesses
Phoenix can be hot tempered when provoked, despite his normally calm and quiet demeanor. His pyrokinesis needs work. He almost set his bed on fire once. He panics if his legs are pinned, and gets angry when they are knocked out from underneath him. The scar along his spinal cord aches and hurts him sometimes.

Mutant Powers
Pyrokinesis-Fire manipulation.

Wing Appearance
With a mighty wingspan of 15 feet, multiple hues of reds, yellows and faint hints of orange glow in sunlight, giving the appearance that they're made of fire.

Background Story
Phoenix's mom's sister was a whitecoat who injected avian dna into the womb when his mother was pregnant. His mother had no clue. And when he was only a year old, he and his parents got into a terrible car accident. Both parents died in the crash, his aunt immediately claimed him. Phoenix was horribly injured in the accident, and his legs were paralyzed. The whitecoat whisked him off to a laboratory on the far Irish coast where the scientists tried to fix his legs. they failed and for six years they tried to find a solution.

At the age of four, he began to grow his wings, and it was painful for him. He lay in his bed crying for days on end. when he was eight, the scientists finally found a way to fix his legs. They operated on him, injected him with various chemicals, sewed him up and restricted him to his bed for four months. His slightly advanced healing helped though. When his back was healed they taught him to walk and it was slow going. To punish him when he failed to do what exercises they wanted him to do, they would often knock his feet out from under him or to pin them to the ground. He'd land on on his wings and it would hurt.

when he was 12, they moved him to a laboratory in America where he's been ever since. He's only just now discovered his pyrokinesis.

Hooooooly crap, this series was my shit as a kid. They made a movie about it? I was waiting for one of those for ages.

Now, I can't remember much of the books apart from a majority of Fang, but I'll see if I can make a character within the next couple of days. Man, this is so much nostalgia.

Yes feel free to jump in. And yes I noticed the lack of female characters. I was considering of making one or two side characters that are female to be part of the adventure. Or even allow someone if they can play a secondary character.
