The Hunt for the 36


By now almost everyone has heard of the extraordinary events that happened on October 1st of 1989. It was the day the famous children of the Umbrella Academy were born. There isn’t a soul in this world that doesn’t know their names. You know what names they don’t know by heart though? Our names, the names of the other 36 children that were also born on that day with the same amazing gifts as the children Reginald Hargreeves raised. We were the children that weren’t found, that were overlooked, or could not be bought because our parents were naive and didn’t know what exactly we were.

Sometimes, I must say, I hate the day of October 1st. Yes, it was the day I was brought into this life, but it was also the day that the horror that was my life had begun. Well let me rephrase that, it’s the day the horror that was our life began. See, thankfully I wasn’t alone when I was brought into the world. My brother, Adrian, also shares this wonderful life as well. Our parents were one of the ones that should have certainly given us to the Umbrella Academy when Reginald came knocking at their door. As stunned by our birth as they were, at that time, they had a hard time just giving up newborn children to a complete stranger. Believe me from what I heard he really wanted us. We are the only set of twins that were born that day, after all.

I bet I know what you are thinking, how lucky are we that they didn’t give us up, I admit it was touching. I’m sure many of you weren’t as lucky as us. As touching as our parents not giving us up was, in the end of things, it would have been much better for them if they had. Let’s not get in to that now though, it’s not important. What is important, is now and the dangers that are creeping up on all of us.
Some of you may have an idea they’re on your tail, some of you are in hiding already, some of you may have no idea what I’m talking about, and some of you may be foolish enough to think you’re safe. For those of you idiots that think you are safe or are blissfully unaware, they’re coming for you.

Who am I talking about? The Commission you dumb asses. They’ve been after my brother and I for years and now they are after others that threaten the time continuum as well. You may be years away from making the decision that will cause the ripple in their precious timeline, but that doesn’t matter to them. They would rather take out the threat now then wait till the last minute.

Now you’re probably thinking why am I telling you this, why do I care about the rest of you and not just myself and my brother? Well first off, Adrian has seen your deaths and I promise you, you want us to care. Secondly, the 43 of us were all born for a reason. You can’t tell me our parents got pregnant and gave birth in the same day to super powered children for no reason. We are not their pawns and we will not be taken out by them like the rest of the poor souls they have killed over the decades. If the Hargreeves can build a team to take out robbers and murders, we can build a team to save each other.

For those of you Commission Assassins that are no doubt reading this right now, you are probably hoping I’m going to write this lovely part where I tell my fellow weirdos were to meet my brother and me.

Come on now, don’t you know by now I’m not that stupid? Why even bother reading this?…Well to crush your stupid and pathetic dreams, I’m not going to ask them to find us, we are going to find them. Hell we already know where most of the those on your kill list are already. I promise you, we will get to them before you, after all, we see everything. And just so you know, once we are strong enough, we’ll be the ones coming after you…All of you. It’s only a matter of time.

If any of the 34 of you left out there are reading this, we’ll be seeing you soon!

Sincerely,

Alek and Adrian Evers






Welcome


So as told in Haven’s letter above, this RP will be centered around the 36 super powered children that were not raised by Reginald Hargreeves. These, now adults, have lived many different lives. Some of you were abandoned, some of you were given up for adoption, and some of you even led normal lives. However, now some of the 36 are in serious danger. At some point in their lives they will be making a decision that will alter the course of time. A decision that will change events that the Commission wants to happen in the world. Because of that decision, you are now on their kill list. You may know you are on this list, but most of you have no clue.

We will be starting the RP all separated at first, but we will come together as my characters try to find you all before the Commission sends one of their assassins to kill you. The goal is to change the course of time and take out the Commission once there is enough of us to stop them. There will be some twists and turns along the way and some of us may very well be killed, but don’t worry! IF your character dies, you can still stay in the story and make a new character.

Of course, 34 slots will not be open in this RP, that would be too much! I will be cutting it off at some point, but when someone drops out, we can easily add in new people to replace them.

For this RP you will be able to pick your own powers, but you will need to get them approved by me first.
Just cause I have a feeling it might come up, I will allow some people to play members of the Commission. I will only allow a few spots for those types of characters though.

If you’ve never seen the Umbrella Academy, I would certainly look it up. I don’t think you will have needed to watch the show or have read the comics to play in this RP, but I would recommend at least reading up on it a little. It’s a great show so I highly recommend watching it though






The Commission


The Commission is an organization that deals with the time space continuum. Their main job is to make sure that all events that are supposed to happen, happen. To do this, they have agents ready to travel through time and to eliminate anyone that poses a threat to their job. The way they travel to these time periods is through suitcases that are more or less miniature time machines. These agents are normally sent in pairs, unless they are the best of the best and are known to get the job done alone. They are highly trained assassins that are trained in many different forms of fighting and weaponry. Agents are not easily killed and show very little remorse for what they do.

These agents are assigned their tasks by the management of The Commission. Tasks are given to the agents with the help of pneumatic tubes that contained messages within in them and can show up anywhere at any time.The main headquarters for the Commission is in the year 1955. It is implied that a person by the name of The Handler is the head of this organization, but this person is only met by agents of the highest clearance. His or her name is never mentioned by anyone and their true location or time is practically unknown.

Do we need a picture for the file? I just don't like using real people as face claims and would rather just write up a description.

Working on a character. Should be up in the next couple of days.

Also, stupid question but since all the kids were born on the same day, they'd all be 29 years old, right?

@Ever What are your thoughts on a character who can hear the thoughts of others. Unless she focuses hard on it she can easily be overwhelmed and won't necessarily be able to understand the 'voices'. It's like her brain is constantly on receiving and every active signal is always trying to broadcast to it. Even if she focuses on one 'voice' it can still be a little muffled. The closer, both physically and otherwise, she is the clearer the signal is. She can't control what someone thinks she would only be able to hear it. She has absolutely zero control over it and at the start would be taking medically prescribed drugs as the doctors believe she has some mental disorder.

I’d totally be down for that! Maybe Haven could help her a little when they meet up. She can’t hear thoughts, but maybe she could push’ her into being able to control it a little better in some way so that she could be off the meds and use her power more. Idk, but still I’m totally down for that kinda character.

I'm interested. Will submit a CS shortly. Are you going to do a discord?

I notice you have an "Age" field, but we all have to be the same age, don't we (30 years old?)

ᴀ ᴘ ᴘ ᴇ ᴀ ʀ ᴀ ɴ ᴄ ᴇ ᴅ ɪ s ᴄ ʀ ɪ ᴘ ᴛ ɪ ᴏ ɴ
Bearded face, long brown hair, physically fit, athletic build. Stands 6'1" tall. Usually in dark casual clothes.

ᴘ ᴇ ʀ s ᴏ ɴ ᴀ ʟ ɪ ᴛ ʏ
Reno is sarcastic most of the time, but very goal driven and likes to have a laugh and a drink. He's got a habit of smoking cigarettes and is fiercely loyal to anyone who proves they have his back. When sobriety has left him, he can be a bit confrontational.


ʜ ɪ s ᴛ ᴏ ʀ ʏ
When Reno was a child, he was raised among riff raff. His mother left him among the homeless on the day he was conceived and birthed and the scum of society collectively raised him as their own. They taught him the value of street smarts and the con game. Utilizing Reno's visual abilities, some of the seedy individuals who helped raise him would often exploit his powers to play "Guess the card" games or "which cup is the ball hidden under" schemes. Reno was taught many dirty tricks.

Once he was old enough to get out on his own, he started making a living as a private eye (see what I did there?!), being hired by several clients with different backgrounds to perform an assortment of tasks. Some may just be looking for proof that their ex is cheating on them while others have more serious matters to attend to, such as a missing person who the proper authorities have given up searching for.

All the while, having been brought up on a dog eat dog world before graduating to private investigations, Reno has constantly been improving his body and honing his abilities. As he stands now, he is in peak physical condition and with the help of his special eyes, he is a force to be reckoned with.


ᴘ ᴏ ᴡ ᴇ ʀ s
Supernatural Eyesight

Reno's eyes can morph and change to perform a variety of feats. Night vision, telescopic vision, X-Ray vision, the ability to see temperature and more. His eyes are windows to a lot of possibilities. This power also aids in his ability to aim projectiles and bullets.

Peak Human Condition

Not a superpower, but Reno keeps himself is great physical condition, exercising regularly as per routine as well as getting a workout while on the clock with people of foul intent

Advanced Reflexes

With his eyesight being what it is, Reno has learned to use his ocular superiority and react accordingly. At his most impressive, Reno may see a single bullet coming his way and be able to successfully dodge it before it hits its intended target.

So, like, if in the comic book there were people who had space gorilla bodies and having the ability to have extradimensional monsters come out of their skin, would it be entirely out of the realm of possibility for my character to be a burning skeleton?

You talking always be walking around like that or your chapter can turn into a burning skeleton like Ghost Rider? I’d say if your character is walking around like that, he wouldnt be roaming freely, which might be interesting. Might have to break him/her out of somewhere before they are killed. So I’d be down for either. Good idea!

@Marrok Everything looks good, but please add a bit more to your character's personality. I usually prefer up to 4 or 5 lines. After that you can post him in the character section! Glad to have you apart of the 36!

@bandcrsnatch I really liked your sheet actually! I think he is pretty interesting character. You have been approved and can place him in the character thread.

I'll be putting up Haven and Adrian up in he next day or so!

Just to make sure there are no loose ends on my part, I don't think I'm going to be able to efficiently participate in this RP, so I'm afraid I'm going to have to withdraw. Good luck, everyone! This RP looks pretty sick so I hope it goes well.
