I'm wondering who'd be interested in forming an RP based on the show "Alphas."
I would prefer an AU for this RP. So we wouldn't be working with the Government and we wouldn't have Dr. Rosen with the Government against Stanton Parish/Red Flag. I'd like to develop it here before moving to an OOC.
Those unfamiliar with Alphas:
Alphas are humans with extraordinary abilities. In the show, there is a man who can "Amp Up" and acquire superhuman strength (i.e. crashing through wooden walls, bending steel). However, he can only sustain this for a short period of time and this has an adverse affect on his heart and nervous system which can be treated with medication, but this has its own adverse affects. But, with the help of Cat, an alpha who can learn to implement anything she watches at an expert level but cannot remember anything past a few weeks, he has learned to enter a meditative state and attain this superhuman strength with no adverse affects, but has lesser control over his consciousness.
This is just one example of the many to which we are introduced throughout the show. The point is that, though these abilities are extraordinary, they come with drawbacks that can inhibit an Alphas health, emotional state, or even sanity. This is important when creating an Alpha ability.
Notable from the show is the idea of the Government vs. Red Flag. The government wants to utilize/control Alphas while Red Flag wants to control the world/overthrow the government/create chaos (however you want to see the ends of Red Flag). This can be incorporated into the RP, though I would prefer it in a different manner.
I would also prefer the use of different Alpha abilities than discovered in the show, or at least have differing sources and drawbacks.
The idea I have for an Alpha is an individual with Hyper Intuition/Interpretation. Everything has a meaning. Superstitions are real and Psuedo-sciences are true. He can interpret Astrology and does Tarot readings. However, it's usually for the present and he doesn't have much control over what he interprets without much focus. General use of his abilities can include interpreting the way in which a leaf falls to the ground and where it falls and how it looks on the ground. This can come from the idea of the Butterfly Effect and that he can determine the cause of an outcome. His ability can be used as a forensic analyst, strategist, or just a fortune teller.
I'm not sure how to specify this further. If anyone has a better idea of Alphas than I do, feel free to chime in. But any and all feedback is welcome. :D
