The city of Marlon on the East Coast of the United States. A beacon to the world in terms of advancement and improvement of the world. Home to the Lorne Corporation. Since 2019 when they made their debut on the International Stage they have gone from strength to strength, in 2049 they are truly a world superpower in their own right with Military Contracts, Medical Contracts and various contracts with Governments all over the world. With their corporate headquarters in Marlon they practically own the city, employing many of its inhabitants in their factories and facilities.

Then four months ago a catastrophic failure at one of their main facilities. Dubbed The Tower by the people of Marlon. One night during a violent storm the top of the tower exploded, causing a cascade of energy to be spread throughout the city. This energy acted as a catalyst creating mutations among the population of Marlon. These mutations granted members of the population with abilities that were beyond human gaining them the name Parahuman. These Parahumans caused mass damage at first as many were unable to control their abilities. Then came the opportunists, those who sought to use these abilities to further their own cause. Some took on criminal lifestyles, some heroic for fame and fortune, others simply sought to help others.

They were not welcome, however. The Lorne Corporation using its vast wealth and influence cracked down on these, convinced the Government that these Parahumans shouldn’t be allowed to remain in the general population and had to be brought in. Some came in willingly, wanting to be rid of their abilities but there were those who liked their new life, their new power. Where do you stand?




This roleplay takes place on the Eastern Coast of the United States in the fictional city of Marlon, in the year 2049. You are playing one of the Parahumans in this new world as it evolves into something new. Do you try your hand at heroics? Are you a powerful criminal? Or are you someone that just wants your old life back?

I'm still working on the OOC making sure it has all the information you guys need, there will be room for you guys to world build, free-roam or follow the GM mandated plot it's up to you the player!

If I'm not here, you can Catch me on discord.

Worm fan by any chance?

I'm interested in this. The setting kind of reminds me of Infamous, with people gaining powers in the wake of a disaster and the powers being limited to the one city for the moment, with more of a cyberpunk feel to it.

I don't know what Worm is so probably not.

Colour me intrigued.

As I know some people like brainstorming characters so I decided to throw up the Parahuman Codex for how the Lorne Corporation classifies Paras.

It's the only place I've seen the term Parahuman used before now.

Does Omega cover all instances of people with multiple powers, or only if those powers are from different categories? For example, would someone with two different Beta abilties be classed as an Omega?

Omega refers specifically from people with abilities from separate categories.

So what are people thinking power wise. As I finish up the OOC I'm curious what direction people are going in.

I'm considering a few things; a shark-man or frog man, because both sound like interesting ideas that are a little out of the ordinary. Alternatively, an idea I have is someone who can create and manipulate lightning, because well look at my username :-P

Though I have a lot of potential ideas I feel like someone who can turn invisible would fit best and it's a favourite power of mine anyway, so..

I'll probably wait until I see more about the setting before deciding anything, but right now I'm thinking an ability which lets you empower items to give them powers related to there function; imbue boots for speed or flight, imbue clothing for durability or a weapon for a more damage. It would be based on charges, so items would only last for so long and you could only empower so many items a day.
