Introduction

In this world, there are individuals born with special abilities. For most of human history this was an extremely rare occurrence and anyone hardly ever knew they even existed but over the past 200 years, with the global population exploding and through natural human evolution the number of these individuals has increased. They are called many names in many languages depending on one’s perception of their abilities; prodigies, demons, freaks, alphas are all terms associated with these special people but the most commonly used term is meta-human (MH). There is no way to know for sure exactly how many meta-humans there are in the world and scientific estimates vary greatly placing the number anywhere between 100,000 to nearly 1 million. Tensions have been rising all around the world regarding meta-humans and meta-human rights but nowhere in the world have things become more heated than in the USA where a rise of anti-meta-human sentiments has led to the election of a well known conservative politician named Saul Christensen to President. While there is no federal legislation directly discriminating against mutants in the USA, many states, especially those in the midwest and the southeast, have been allowed to take the law into their own hands and created discriminatory laws under the guise of “protecting non-meta-human rights” despite the fact that meta-humans are overwhelmingly in the minority. While President Christensen has never explicitly described himself as anti-meta-human, it is abundantly clear he is no friend of the meta-human population in the USA and many people are under the impression that the President is simply biding his time for the right moment to pass sweeping federal anti-meta-human legislation. This is due to his veiled rhetoric, the predominant sentiments of his voter base, and his close friendship to Alexander Greene, a well known anti-meta-human leader in the corporate world. Greene has been involved with all kinds of business interests over the last twenty years, most recently forging partnerships with some of the most lucrative weapons manufacturers in the country and around the world. Some meta-humans have banded together across to form vigilante groups to fight back against the rising number of hate groups across the USA but many mutant citizens are afraid that these two powerful men are simply biding their time for the right moment to unleash hell upon the meta-humans of the world...

Synopsis

Each of us will be playing the role of members of a vigilante group of meta-humans based out of Atlanta, Georgia, but coming from all over the country. Our gorup has gotten word of a plan by a meta-human rights extremist group to attack the White House in an attempt to intimidate the President. Realizing this is just the type of incident that President Christensen is hoping for, we will begin by traveling to DC to try to stop the attack and protect the man who hates our kind. However, when upon our arrival we will discover, through mysterious means, that things are not what they seemed to be will quickly get caught up in a conspiracy to frame meta-humans that involves some of the most powerful men in the world...

On second thought, this RP is not the right fit for me, so I'm gonna have to bow out. Good luck on your endeavors!

Name: Josy Blanc-Arbre

Aliases: Venja

Age: 26

Gender: Female

Appearance: Venja usually sticks out to some extend. Her white hair, cut into a bob, draws the views of others. The slightly purple eyes are no sign of normality either - albeit she was born with both, as well as her pale skin. She is rather slim and with 5"3' she can be called petite without any doubt. her build is athletic, showing that she engages in different sports. Weighing just 108 lbs she is on the lower end of being healthy, but as she already had weighed quite a bit less she is still proud of it.
Usually Venja can be seen wearing dark clothes. She prefers to go with Jeans and black shirts, mostly printed either with band names or illustrations, but can be seen wearing dresses or formal clothing if the occasion requires it - or she feels like it. During a normal day she will most likely not wear jewellery, apart from a set of stud earrings, depicting small roses formed from heat coloured wire. During rainy or colder days she will typically wear a beige trench coat which is definitely too large for her. Some have joked it doubles as a tent, but albeit the coat is visibly old and used she still wears it regularly.

Personality: In general Venja can be called a caring person. She does not like to see people suffer, she goes out of her way to ask others if everything is alright and tries to look after people. Furthermore she could be seen as introverted. Normally going out to a party or even a big get-together is not her cup of tea and she will rather stay at home and read a book. She still likes to interact with others, albeit she often time will listen more than she talks. In general she is rather reclusive, keeping a lot of her thoughts and feeling to herself.
This does not mean that she would not stand up for her beliefs and ideals. If you manage to overthrow or even attack her values she will come down on you, ranging from professional to burning revenge. This has lead her to be part of meta-human rights activist groups and being a leading role in revealing problems at her campus and university.

Abilities: Venja is able to manipulate light. The first things she actively learned to do was the creation of darkness or light globes, but over time, she got more proficient with her skills. As the creation of optical "illusions" was one of the things she first discovered, she has trained herself in this domain for quite a while. By now, she is able to create walls that are not there, remove objects from the point of a viewer and even change her appearance. All this is not real - a wall created through her manipulation can be passed through, an object picked up and if she changes herself to have longer her and someone were to caress it he would just hit air. However, as most people trust their eyes, she is rather happy with the outcome.
Lately she has also been training to manipulate the invisible parts of light, which turned out to be rather difficult. Another thing she came across rather recently is the fact that she should be able to create focused beams like a laser would. She is toying with it, but has still not found the hang for both.

Bio:


Other: Besides reading, Venja loves to climb and run. She usually does it to take her mind of problems. At the moment she makes a living as a laboratory assistant in an institution that runs test for multiple hospitals.

Hi, I'm interested in this. I do have one question though. Could you provide some more details on the meta vigilante group? It's kind of hard to design a character that would join a group if I know literally nothing about them other than they are all metas. Is it like an X-Men thing where they take in any metas who need help. Would it be more open source, something you could find on the internet if you were looking for a group to join to fight back. I don't really have a solid base to say "my character joined this group" if I don't know what circumstances would allow her to get involved with them.
