[ Pariah ]



Some call us superhumans, some call us enhanced, some even call us freaks of nature.

Over time, the ‘politically correct’ term has become Variant -- as in, a variation of the normal human genome. We’re said to have an anomaly in our genetic code that allows us to manifest certain powers or abilities.

No explanation as to how or why or where this came from...either way, it’s a major source of conflict in our world.

While the world struggles to figure out what to do with Variants, the Variants struggle to find their place in the world.

There are those who want to try and maintain ordinary lives just like everyone else...perhaps use their abilities to help a few people or get ahead in life.

Some prefer to play the hero, believing that their abilities were somehow bestowed upon them for upholding some grand responsibility.

And, yet, there are those who would rather watch the world burn just to see if anything will rise from the ashes...

Apparently, a normal life isn’t an option for someone who can turn into ice or has armored skin or can read minds...too much to ask, it seems.

But with every struggle, there’s a story...and this is ours.

Plot Overview

Over the past several weeks, there has been a sudden influx of disappearances in New Haven, a city known for increasing levels of Variant-related crimes. All attempts by local law enforcement to solve these missing persons cases have turned up cold. Investigators who appear to be close to a solution end up disappearing themselves. Most of these have been random unfortunate victims, both human and Variant alike, with zero connections between them. Wrong place, wrong time. Lately, however, a few of those who vanished have been Nobles. When the 'best and brightest' start getting captured, it becomes a real problem. Whatever is taking place here, it can't be good at all...

Meanwhile, the tech-heads at Chimera are cooking up a little scheme of their own. Rumors are swimming around that they may be targeting a major facility in the very near future. Whether or not the sources are reliable, the very fact that these rumors have come up is raising a few eyebrows and putting several people on alert…Chimera is not to be played with.

In the wake of these recent events, an unlikely assemblage of heroes arises from the shadows to combat the rising criminal threat...

Notes
  • If you want to play multiple characters, I’m allowing a max of two per person
  • Pariah Underground and independents only...though I may allow Nobles if enough players want it (debating on it)
  • N.O.V.A. / M.A.D. agents are non-playable; strictly for NPCs and background (suggestions for agents are welcome, though)
  • Non-Variant characters are welcome
  • Class 5 Variants are not allowed
  • No villains; having a character that inherently cause trouble for others is acceptable as long as it doesn’t cause major plot disruptions (please PM me if you’re unsure about anything)
  • This RP is 18+, however, keep anything overly explicit to PM’s please if it gets to that point
  • This is taking place in the year 2130 in an alternate version of America
  • Have fun!!!

Interested. I could probably have a CS ready in a few hours. I'm thinking of a mentalist with memory-related abilities.

Thanks for the interest, everyone! Looks like we've got quite few peeps here...which is awesome! @Tortoise@Kalas WIPs look good so far.

Since so many jumped on so quick, I'll have the OOC up momentarily!
