You're a high school student attending a fairly large high school in New York City. You have your own life and your own story, just like everyone else. Maybe you're the popular girl who pretends to have it all, but lives in a trailer park with her abusive father. Maybe you're the loner who has big dreams but little motivation. Or maybe you're the stoner who has repeated their Junior year for the second time and couldn't care less what the future has in store for them. You are your own person, and your entire world is about to be flipped upside down. Everything for you and everyone around you changes when two girls find the half-dead, bloody body of Prom Queen Miranda Shifflett in the school bathroom.

One by one, people from your city meet an untimely death, the cause of death for each of them presumed to be some sort of deadly virus. The people begin to freak out almost immediately; parents begin withdrawing their children from school and moving across the country, local business owners pack up and do the same, all while scientists and doctors work day and night to find a cure for the virus. After the virus finally runs its course through the town, the total number of deaths is calculated to be a whopping four hundred thirty-two citizens. Some, however, were lucky enough to survive, a special group of students included. You were one of them.










Basically, we'll be playing a group of high school aged kids who live in Brooklyn, New York and, after they've gotten over the virus, find out that they have extraordinary gifts. We will kick things off on the day that schools reopen, approximately a month after the final reported death. Your character got over their virus two weeks prior to schools reopening, and their powers are just beginning to manifest. What they decide to do with these special gifts are completely up to them. Maybe your character will become the next Black Lightning and use their abilities to fight crime, or maybe they will embrace their inner criminal and use their powers to cause mischief. Perhaps your character will keep everything on the down-low and continue to act as if everything is normal. It's all up to you.

This RP will be mostly located in the places listed under "Places of Interest." This includes but isn’t limited to: the high school, where the characters live, the subway station, local shops, bodegas, clubs, etc.



All Guild rules apply, of course.
This is a Casual RP. Of course, I'd like for everyone to post at least one to two paragraphs of content each post. However, this does not mean type four meaty paragraphs of complete bullshit. No one wants to read two paragraphs worth of teeth brushing.
You may create up to two characters.
No God-Modding. Your character is a teenager who is just learning to use their powers. They are not going to be masters at it.
No Mary/Gary-Sues. Your character is not perfect. Everyone has flaws.
Collaborations are encouraged.
Do not kill off other characters without the permission of their creator.
NO DRAMA in the OOC. I cannot stress this enough.
Don’t be afraid to ask questions or voice any concerns. While this isn’t my first time GMing, I am human. I am not perfect.
This RP's story is a group effort. There will be a general plot line to push things forward, but your character’s actions will overall shape the story.
Since this is a conscious group effort, I ask that you at least make an effort to read other people's posts properly. Don't write a messy and disconnected response just because you couldn't be bothered to get the correct information for the scene.



As far as the Character Sheets go, you may spruce them up as much as you would like as long as you include all of the information that we’ve asked for — it’s up to you to use your initiative and add what you think is necessary. I also ask that you use realistic images; if you’re not sure who to use as your faceclaim, I’ve included a link to a faceclaim directory down below. Remove the slash from the [/hr] tags for them to work.

Ejected and I decided on having this RP closed to those who expressed interest in the Interest Check, hence the status being set to 'Full'. However, we will consider opening it up for applications in the event of interested parties dropping the RP, so maybe I can drop you a PM if/when that happens?

@Infernal Flame @Angel Eyes Added the two of you to the mailing list in my mind. (I don't know what this smiley is for I just wanted to put one there)

Also, this Mundane is a separate entity from the 'original' Mundane from 2 years ago, so there technically isn't an original. The name happened to be pure coincidence, since I don't think Ejected even knew about the other one when she named this roleplay. This is an original creation and isn't an attempt to reboot or plagiarise anything.

Oh! I understand! That's so uncanny. Kind of spooky actually. LOL Makes me all the more interested. Thanks for adding me to the list.


No problem! I just wanted to clarify in case people got confused at the lack of parallels. Aside from the whole name and superpowers thing, that is.

While I am still interested, I do not think it wise to join another collaborative project when others are in dire need of my attention. So basically, I am up shit creek without a paddle.
