"I've always thought that fear was an interesting concept since I was a child. It can be used as both a strength against others, and a weakness against ourselves, yet the only way we can conquer our fears is by facing them.

But I thought that, 'What if instead of facing them, we learn to co-operate with our fears? Turn them into power?' Well, that's where you all come in."

- Miranda Williams, head scientist of Project:PHOBIA



It's the year 2068, the future we've all predicted has come true. Flying cars, holographic comunicators, and even the cure for cancer has been found. Things seemed to prosper for everyone, and world peace was near. Atleast, it was.

One day, a world-wide war had broke out of nowhere, alarming those that weren't a part of the violence. Yet the bloodshed and destruction seemed to spread like a virus, bringing almost all parts of the worlds to it's knees, and leaving them desolate, empty.

Yet, not all hope was lost. A city in New York, USA, had built a large barrier, cappable of locking the chaos away from those who were left. No one dared to try and cross it, less they had a deathwish, or were strong enough to survive.

Months passed as a lone scientist, one Miranda J. Williams, watched the world war raged on. She had concluded that another force was behind all the bloodlust, and the recent crime rate in the city, but she couldn't face them alone.

So she got together with the rest of the world's scientists, and began work on what will be known as Project: Phobia.

So, any volunteers?

I'm intrigued, but could you explain what the phobi-abilities would be?

I should be able to Port my character sheet over from the interest check later today. I'll do a little to play with the formatting too, maybe.

@Dusty

In a nutshell, super-powers that are based off of your character's fears. The actual powers are up to interpretation.

Reposting my character here first, just to get an official approval stamp before posting it to the character sheet. Also, gets people to see it without hunting for character relations and what his power does. shrugs.



Name: Hirikawa Reiji

Age: 23

Gender: Male

Personality: Ostensibly Serious. All. The. Time. Rarely cracks a joke and is quick to anger. Doesn't get along well with most other people, but still somehow manages to earn their trust and respect. Holds loyalty more important than anything else, and betrayal as the worst thing you can do, outside of this he doesn't really have much of a Moral Compass. Doesn't drink or smoke, but not for any reason other than he doesn't like the flavor.

Appearance: Reiji has shoulder length black hair that is kept unkempt at most times. He is lean and trim giving anyone who sees him the idea that he is weak but probably very fast, which is true. He is tall for a Japanese man, standing near 6 feet tall, so he has quite the reach with the Katana he keeps on him, whenever possible. His skin is fair and smooth, further eluding to his skill with the sword - If he wasn't good, he'd be dead or covered with scars - or giving the appearance of being untested, which is untrue. His eyes are the type of bright amber brown not commonly found, perhaps closer to honey when seen in the raw daylight. Almost always wears black, but if he deviates it is to wear whites, blue, or grey.

Fear: Oneirophobia - the Fear of Dreams. Reiji has developed the ability to manifest dreams from his target, good or bad, and manipulate them to his will, utilizing visions of grandeur to bolster the confidence of a team mate or tricking a foe into false bravado, drawing on calming dreams to reduce panic or alarm, or simply twisting a good dream into a bad dream. The love of your life leaving you for your childhood best friend, your favorite pet being killed over and over again, being forced to kill your own parents during a special memory.

History: Reiji was born in one of the few remaining rural the countrysides in Japan by his grandparents. His grandparents were traditionalists and keepers of the old ways, teaching him of the Ayanokoji and Yokai. However, this taught belief manifested in terrible dreams. Sometimes they were just nightmares, sometimes they were waking dreams, sometimes they were pleasant. The dreams could last for only a few moments, or he could be locked in a coma-like state for days. He developed his fear of dreams, or Oneirophobia, due the terrifying and uncontrollable nature of his dreams. As a teen his Grandparents passed away and he was forced to move into the mega-metropolis that was the rest of the country of Japan. He quickly adapted to his new environment, but did not bond well with the other students in his school- he was often despondent and lethargic due to a lack of sleeping - being afraid to dream will do that to you. Once he graduated from High School he decided to dedicate himself to his swordplay and went on a journey around Japan to the dojos and learn wherever he could, challenging anyone who would accept. This developed a name for himself and a bit of a reputation. Eventually, he heard of a specialist in America who might be able to help Reiji overcome his fear of Dreams and he moved to New York to meet with the doctor, this is when he was recruited for P.H.O.B.I.A.

Extra: To this day, Reiji believes in the supernatural and superstition. Don't ask to see his sword.

Relationships: TBC

Hello.

Such an interesting concept.

Might I try and create a character for this story?

This will be my first RP here btw. I am really looking forward to exploring this story.

Cheers!

Would it be possible to have a Phobophobic character whose powers involve absorbing and manipulating other people's phobi-abilities from short periods of time (think Rouge)? Or, adversely the some phobia but it quells other phobi-abilities by proximity (Think Leech)? Or would that be to overpowered?

I guess?

It's not getting as much traffic as it did in the interest check.

Maybe my second idea will turn out better than this.

Well I'm still here and watching though I wasn't that willing to commit since the wait for more people went on for so long. I do have character in mind too but I'd like to know for sure this going to start before I flesh it out.
