[i]The rain falls heavily as the young man in his black jacket crossed the street, not even bothering to check for anything coming towards him. He had become a lot more careless with his life recently, although there was a very good reason for this. The truck that came careening towards him across the motorway could not have seen him, there was practically no visibility and the rain slicked road held no purchase on the massive vehicles tires. The young man simple looked out carefully from his low hood and grinned a maniacal grin as the truck hit him fully and crumpled like paper. The explosion of the petrol tank igniting engulfed him in flame and he lifted his arms to the heavens, relishing the feeling of an inferno tempered by the indescribably heavy rain As the sound of sirens drew closer and closer the young man simply grinned even deeper and faded into nothingness[/i] [b]The Ascended Arise[/b] An RP about being a super human in a normal world, a story about incredibly powerful people coming out of the woodwork of society and waging terrible wars that devastate the world of normal men. Okay so the premise is basically that you are one of the ascended, a race of incredibly powerful humanoids that have been breeding with humanity for centuries. Capable of living thousands of years and possessing a wide variety of strange powers these people have been in hiding for centuries, but no longer. Your character will be one of the Ascended trying to live a normal life when a strange group of ascended calling themselves The Children of the Light (no one say anything about where I stole this from) begin to attack you in broad daylight, claiming that they want to make the Ascended rulers of humanity.
