[h2][u]THE OTHER YOU[/u][/h2]
Everyone hides behind a mask; around their family, around friends, strangers, lovers. No one is ever truly themselves around others… ignoring a specific few. Those known as “Awakened” are people who’ve freed themselves from social camouflage, embracing their true selves no matter the crowd. These Awakened transform into avatars—a manifestation of their true self—and it is up to them to figure out how to use their powers. 

Your characters will guided and mentored into this new world of superpowers and peril by the Lightwatchers, the self-proclaimed good faction protecting the city from the Darkwalkers. But there's always a chance to be swayed to the dark side, should they get their hands on you first (or perhaps you have change of heart).

[u]The RP will begin by playing out each characters awakening.[/u]

[h3]THE PITCH[/h3]
A character-focused RP with transformation powers thrown into the mix! Setting is modern day, vaguely NYC, and your characters can be and become just about anyone. Every character can transform into what's called an "Avatar"; this transformed state is based off their hidden/true selves and allow them use their powers. The entire RP is based off the psychology term [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masking_(behavior)]Masking[/url], so try and lean into that if you can! [sub]Be as weirddd as you like...[/sub]

[hider=Awakenings]
Your awakening doesn’t have to be a full shedding of the “mask”, it can be a small/minor act that aligns with the character’s true self.

[hider=Avatars]
Every character has an avatar that they can transform into on command. Avatars can only be awakened when the character embraces their true self in some way (revealing a secret, being more vulnerable, etc).

Avatars have special abilities & powers specific to the person transforming.

Avatars can range from an outfit change to a full transformation (think [url=https://guiltygear.fandom.com/wiki/Dragon_Install?file=301046.jpg]Guilty Gear dragon install[/url]). Extent of transformation depends on the person’s secret/how much they’re hiding their true self.
