Running from the World

Prisoners

Amazons Faction

The Amazons

Faction Name:

The Amazons

Leader:

Hippolyta

Pronunciation: Hih-pole-eye-tee

Power:

Adoptive Muscle Memory

Purpose:

The Amazons faction serves as a protection faction for women from the men. Though it started allowing any woman or girl in, they later became selective with time. Nowadays, they only protect women who they believe will later benefit them.

Age:

As old as the prison

History:

The Amazons was created by Hipp, a strong woman who had become quick friends with a sweet, beautiful eighteen year old girl named Lila. Lila had become a fast favorite of the ruthless men of the prison, subjected to horror and degradation. However, Lila could not do much about it since her power was used to heal others. Eventually, Lila had succumbed to the cruelty the men pushed onto her and killed herself. Hipp, angry at the injustice of it all, started the Amazons, recruiting every strong girl she could to protect other women from the same fate as Lila. This continued for a very long time, until it came to Maddie U. Sir or as she became known as, Snake. It was a silly, stupid name, but it had its reasons to exist. While Snake masqueraded as one for the women, she surreptitiously began weeding the weaker women out in order to create a more stronger faction. Her intentions were unknown - why would the Amazons needs to be stronger? There were rumors that it was due to wanting to take out all the other factions, but it is still unknown. Eventually, Snake was killed by her right-hand women who proceeded to take over the Amazons and continue the tradition of her predecessor of only accepting the strong women. They still intervened as much as they could when a woman was taken advantage of, there was still little to offer the women who were not accepted into the Amazons. Through time, their purpose became diluted and the Amazons started to become just as territorial as the rest. It at first started as a refuge, but now was just another faction fighting for dominance.

When Hippolyta was transported into the prison four years ago, she had refused to join any faction, even the Amazons. As such, she was often subject to many fights and wounds. The current leader of the Amazons was particularly cruel to her, afraid that Hippolyta, a stronger woman than her, could take over her position. Though, Hippolyta had no intention, the responsibility of leadership befell her when she killed the current leader. She was reluctant to take over, but when she did, it came natural to her and she started out to make new reforms. Though it angered some, she began to accept women considered weaker to others, willing to use them for other such things such as spying as well as to offer more women refuge. She did it in small doses, not wanting to stir the Amazons masses too much to cause a coup d'etat. She has been the leaders for two and a half years.

Leadership:

Hipp: the leader, named after the first leader, only used as the position, not as a title (unfortunately for Hippolyta, she is known as Hipp-Hipp to the more snarky members
General: the Hipp's right-hand woman, not used as a title, only a position
Scouts:gather intel as much as possible, are some of the most trusted, masquerade as factionless or member of another faction
Belts: strongest of the Amazons and favored by the Hipp
Suppliers: supply the Amazons with food, cigarettes, and other miscellaneous things
Watchers: look out for potential members, and keep records of others' abilities
Grunts: basic low-level members who do what are told

Selection:

Only females with beneficial powers

Initiation:

Nothing specific. Hippolyta decides who she wants in the Amazons based on her own cleverness to decide what to do with them; she accepts most women who wish to join, however

Size:

Before Snake, The Amazons had a rather large population, being almost every female in the prison, but after, when it became more selective, it began to downsize. As such, it is medium-sized

Assets:

Protection from men
Favors from guards

their femininity may be how they obtain favors from guards

SOUL Faction

SOUL

Faction Name:

SOUL

Leader:

Jackson Stone

Power:

Flux Coat

Purpose:

To provide a well working, safe group for metas to belong, as well as combining some of the rougher elements of Jackson's life. Arena fights between regulars as a way to reorganize the hierarchy, extorting and stealing from other prisoners to bribe guards, etc.

Age:

6 Months

History:

After a month of being transferred into the centre, Jackson created the faction SOUL. He recruited members that considered themselves factionless or didn't want to join any other faction. They trained in the arena, defeating several well known inmates in battle. From here, the faction grew relationships with some of the guards, as well as gaining respect by doing jobs for different people and making sure guards weren't around. After a few months they recruited a guy named "Auction Master" who could change the appearance of his body using illusions. They started raiding auctions and killing the metas they would sell to the highest bidder. AM would disguise himself as other prisoners and the prisoner he disguised as would be killed or... Something else.

Leadership:

The King: Jackson Stone, and only Jackson Stone. If the king dies, the faction will be passed onto the Prince. Jackson is well renowned, and he is known as someone not to fuck with. Guards will most likely look the other way for crimes and murder, as well is sometimes bring extra food rations or let him off doing something like displaying his powers. This tends to only happen with bribes, so the extorting of other prisoners is common among the faction.
The Prince: A specially chosen member who is entirely trusted and is given full reign over the faction, with some limitations. They are generally well renowned and guards might just look the other way or do something they ask.
Sergeants: Those specially chosen by the King to command the lieutenants and the other peons.
Lieutenants: Those specially chosen by the Prince to serve as secondary commanding officers.
Legionaries: Those who have shown themselves more than capable in the line of combat, but also have more skills to show.
Soldiers: Those that have shown they are adept in combat and using their skills.
Regulars: Normal metas that have proven themselves worthy.

Selection:

All people, from metas to normals, are allowed into the faction. They only requirement is that the person must be able to fight, and have at least some understanding of meta powers, even if they don't have one of their own. If they know about the powers, they are allowed into the faction. To increase in the hierarchy a person must be able to control their abilities well and also be able to fight, or at least be able to hold their own in combat. To progress further than a Legionary a person,just have other skills to bring. Like trapping, hunting, cooking, espionage, negotiation, computer science etc.

The people without abilities are put into the rank Regular, but are generally used only for fodder or espionage that doesn't require abilities (*NOTE: no person without an ability has been recruited, this is just a though for possible use.)

Initiation:

To be accepted into the faction, first a person must complete the test of SOUL. during this, a meta must fight a group of 3 metas of Soldier level in SOUL. The meta must last for 3 minutes (with full access to their abilities) for 3 minutes without being killed or incapacitated. If they are still standing after 3 minutes they will be promoted to regular.

Size:

The faction currently consists of 217 metas from the facility. The age restriction is from ages 14-54. The abilities can vary from anything - from the most useful to the least, all metas are allowed in. At least, as long as they can survive.

Assets:

Bonuses consist of protection from other factions and metas, as well as respect from said metas due to their position in SOUL (even if it's just Regular). They also tend to receive slightly better quality meals (so the food is edible) and they can also get away with certain crimes like beating up another prisoner of stealing from another's cell. They also tend not to be challenged except by the foolish, which means they have basic protection from injury.

In compensation for this, metas are supposed to be a type of policing unit by breaking up fights that are not in the arena when the guards turn a blind eye. They must also comply to Jackson's command and do different types of missions for "His Majesty's Meta Army".

STEM Faction

STEM

Faction Name:

STEM (Science Technology Engineering Mathematics)

Leader:

Jason Reed

Power:

Data Manipulation

Purpose:

To bring technology based metas together, in doing so giving them a sense of power and right to rule that they had lacked before as tech based abilities are rarely useful in the arena and thus written off by other prisoners.

Age:

STEM has been part of the Center almost since the beginning.

History:

While other metas such as MIR took to punching each others skulls in the tech users knew they had to be smarter. They banded together creating STEM in order to keep each other safe. Violence they were aware wasn't always the answer and while it was considered a necessary evil of the prison it was always a last resort. STEM prefers to invoke more subtle methods, which include blackmail, bribery and manipulation though everyone in the Center is aware that when the chips fall STEM is more than willing to back itself up with muscle.

Leadership:

Leadership is based solely on the functionality of the members abilities. The more useful the ability the higher they rise in the ranks. Passive tech users can only get so far. In order to truly become powerful in STEM you need to be able to manipulate at least one facade of technology.

Selection:

STEM only accepts members with technology based powers, computer control, mechanical control, electrokinesis, and similar. If you don't have a power related to the sciences you aren't eligible.

Initiation:

No actual initiation is necessary. Just proof that you have the type of ability you claim. This Faction is dangerous enough that they don't require a show of loyalty. If you betray them your fate is sealed.

Size:

Just short of 200.

Assets:

The higher ups in STEM have limited access to the Center's computer system. The Center is more than aware of this and is capable of shutting them out should it become a serious security risk but they let STEM have the illusion of control. This access extends to basic inmate records. One of the things that makes them so dangerous is that they can find out about you. Lab and personnel records are censored from them.

They are also powerful enough that the guards will look the other way as long as they are not taking out a hit. If death is the intended purpose of something they are doing the guards will only intervene if the target is considered a priority meta, meaning they have a valuable or rare skill that the Center needs.

MIR Faction

MIR

Faction Name:

MIR (Might Is Right

Leader:

Julius Abir

Power:

Explosive Combat - Physical combat is enhanced with explosives. Every time he should punch, kick, headbutt, or any other harmful attack that involves something of his body causes an explosion. The harder the strike, the bigger the explosion.

Purpose:

To seek out the strong, and weed out the weak.

Age:

The MIR has almost been with the Center since the very beginning. The violent ones, the ones that no one would miss were captured in high numbers at the start. However, even with the damping field suppressing their powers, they managed to fight each other the old fashion way with their fist and shivs.

The fights had gotten suppressed several times, but this only made the violent even more agitated! These are one of the reasons why there is even an Arena inside of the Center in the first place. So, they exerted their anger, frustrations, and mainly killing instincts on others that were strong. Though, it got boring after awhile. Fighting the same people over and over again, it got tedious! It was only until one of the more psychopathic prisoners got an idea. Why not fight others instead? Fight these newly formed 'Factions'? Fight other people in mass quantities. Start wars instead of fighting with ourselves! It didn't take long until the MIR was born out of the most violent prisoners, and as time flew by, the MIR was only getting larger and slowly getting stronger.

History:

The MIR have started a 'Faction Fight' with almost every other Faction inside of the Center! They are the mains sources of violence and abuse inside the prison, causing trouble for everyone that resided in the terrible place. The MIR don't exactly care for the tiny factions, sure they might be able to get a few good laugh for a few days, but it gets boring quite fast after they become broken.

So, the MIR love to fight the larger factions, they love to start battles with other people, and they especially love winning those battles. They have never been officially beaten, if they are ever on the ropes against another Faction which had happened a few times in the early stages of the MIR, they merely called it a tactical retreat to regroup and fight again! Though, nowadays, the MIR barely have any rivals anymore, only the biggest and strongest could challenge them, but no one has. However, they would be happy to start another Faction Fight, it will only be time until they break another one of their 'truces' just for the kicks... And punches.

Leadership:

Might is Right. Whoever is the strongest gets to be the leader. It doesn't matter how smart you are, and it doesn't even matter if you have any leadership qualities! All that matters is that you are strong, it is an ever evolving system that weeds out the weak, and praises the strong.

Currently, Julius is at the top, and the higher ups are the strongest, and the lower ranks are the weakest. There are no set ranks, everyone in the MIR know their place inside of the ever changing food web. Though, the weak can still challenge the strongest for leadership positions, but in most cases they will be beaten to an inch of their life or worse.

Basically, the only way to climb the ranks and be respected inside of the MIR is to battle your way to the very top, inch by inch, and beat the leader to gain dominance over the entire MIR and fear of the Center.

Selection:

Anyone who is strong is allowed inside of the MIR, that is basically it. They don't care who you were or who you are, all they care about is if you are strong enough to be called MIR material.

Initiation:

You have to punch some stuff. Inside of the Arena, initiates have to usually punch a wall... That's it. You can use your power to make the punch, but your fist has to make a clear imprint or hole inside of the concrete wall. So, if your fist fits or goes through the wall, then you are accepted to test your mettle inside of the constantly evolving Faction. See if you get spat out in a few days, or embrace the saying to the fullest extent.

Size:

It's one of the largest factions in the Center. No one knows the exact measurement, but you can assume it is around 300-400 metas. Powers are all over the place, but they are mainly centered around physical enhancing powers or destructive powers, and as long as you can take several punches and kicks around the body without crying than you are old enough to be inside the MIR.

Assets:

If a fight happens between an MIR and any other faction or random meta then they will join the fight. Not for protection, but for a proper fight. They also usually have the best times and places for activists, tables, food, and etc. The aggressive behavior of the MIR usually scare or deter anyone from interacting with them. Also, they take and do favors for the guards, usually they ask one of the higher ranks to teach someone a lesson, and that is how the MIR get most of their boons.

Cross Faction

Cross

Faction Name:

The Cross

Leader:

Sam King

Power:

Gravity Manipulation

Sam is five feet and ten inches tall. He wears a black trench coat and white short-sleeved shirt and cargo pants. He finally wears black shoes that are good for running. His hair is bright red and his face while young looks tough and his eyes are a fierce blue.

Purpose:

The Cross is to dish out punishment to those who have committed sins against the church and to punish those who threw Sam in prison. They also assist boys and men in trouble and try to help them with their issues in a non-controlling way. They are traditionalist and hate progressives viewing them as mind controlling devils. Their leader isn't as extreme, but he isn't against those going beyond what is necessary to hurt their enemies.

Age:

Three Years

History:

Sam started this faction with a prison friend of his who was also a catholic metahuman and they agreed that by getting as many superhumans to embrace God's calling they could get out and change this sinful world for the better. It was difficult at first, but Sam was determined with his goals and very slowly they started to get more members. As it is now, they have a good number and if they got free of the prison then they will try to get normal people as well as metahumans to their call.

Leadership:

Saints: Saints are the top of the top in the order and are the generals of The Cross. They command the lower ranked members and make council with each other to decide what laws should be made and what missions to partake in.
Crusaders: They are the combat experts of the order and live to fight for the cause.
Monks: They are like the watchmen and protectors of the secrets of the order. They can be like caretakers and assassins ready to defend the hidden secrets of the Cross by any means necessary.
Priests: They as healers and moral boosters. They also learn scripture and give services.

Selection:

If you're traditional, catholic as well as authoritarian then you'll be welcomed in this faction. They have made a couple of exceptions, but being catholic and against progressives are the main requirements to becoming a member of The Cross.

Initiation:

Swear loyalty to God and to the Cross and prove yourself on a mission for the order.

Size:

The Cross is almost fifty members strong.

Assets:

Muscle, teamwork and a moral compass is what this faction offers most. They also are not greedy and will share in resources with others if they are fine with them. Healing is also a service that they give to others they find worthy of their gifts.

Abandoned Factions

Guardian Faction

The Guardians

Faction Name:

The Guardians

Leader:

John Carmichael

Power:

Memory Manipulation

Purpose:

To protect those who can't fight for themselves.

Age:

Brand New

History:

And John said: I'm going to start my own faction to stand up for those that are getting exploited and attacked for no reason.

Leadership:

For now, just John (Anarchy, to intimidate others). Eventually he'll have Lieutenants that will have their own troops, just like his rebels.

Selection:

We only accept those who are willing to risk themselves to stand up for others. We can train them afterwords, but it's much harder to teach people to stand up for others than to teach them to fight.

Initiation:

We send you to take on someone who's been attacking weaklings. Win or lose doesn't matter (though you don't know that going in). All that matters is that you are willing to stand up for the person they were attacking. Usually we simply find someone who's being attacked and send you in to defend them. Sometime we might plan it, in which case, other members will be there to back you up, especially if we're taking on multiple people.

Size:

1

Assets:

He's done favors for some of the doctors and guards, helping them with their traumas, or in one case helping a guard remember her rapist's face so she could get revenge, which gets him access to drugs and can get the guards to look the other way occasionally.
When that doesn't work, he can always blackmail them with their own memories by threatening to tell the other employees about them. He tries not to use this, however, as it ruins his credibility with the other prison employees.

Please note that ability links are meant to give people not as well versed in certain superpowers an overview of exactly what that ability can do. Because the Super Wiki covers most media to ever employ that power limitations and applications may vary between the RP and the Wiki. I will create a compendium of abilities according to our universe at a later date.

Running from the World

Sometime the only thing you can do is run.

All we ever wanted was to live in peace. All we ever wanted was to be left alone. Can't you see we're no different than you? But you scorn us, beat us, burn our houses to the ground and the very worst of you enslave us. It can't last forever, you have to know that. We're stronger than you, we have power that you can't even dream of. But you have control of everything else. You can't treat us this way forever, we will rise up one day... but for now all we can do is run. Run from the World.

This RP will center around a group of teen to early adult members who were taken prisoner by a corporation intent on either using there powers for their own ends or selling the meta-humans to the highest bidder. An explosion in the meta human prison leads to a break in the security grid from which a large group of the imprisoned meta humans escape. No one among the escapees has any information about the cause of the explosion. The prison is colloquially referred to as The Center.

Our cast is comprised of an ensemble. This means that it will be as sizable as we have interest and that each character is no more important than the rest and I am fully capable of killing off a member of the group should they chose to disregard this. That said as long as you all get along you are welcome here. If the group gets too large I may decide to separate cast members into two groups that may well have limited contact with one another.

Rules

1. Basic RP rules are in effect, so follow them.
2. This RP is casual, I'll try not to get on your case about it but at least one or two paragraphs is expected and more is encouraged. Spelling and grammar should be correct but I'll try not to mention it unless desperately needed.
3. I don't want to see anyone fighting in the OOC. We're here to have fun, not bite each others heads off.
4. If you are going to be absent for an extended period of time let us know. I'll be as lenient as I can but at some point your absence will begin to weigh down other characters. I don't want you to come back and find we've killed off your character cause we thought you'd quite.
5. If anyone wants to be Co-GM, just ask. I'll give the position to someone (or two) who I think can handle it.
7. This may be redundant but please place a header that the beginning of your post that has the name of the character you play and there present location, more or less. This may be unnecessary with a small cast if we get too many interested parties it will make it much easier to locate and assess the status of characters. I'm not going to enforce this but I would appreciate it if it was followed.
8. As a rule no two people should be using the same power, similar abilities (such as telekinesis and tactile telekinesis) could be allowed if there is a significant difference or duplicate powers may be permitted on a case by case basis depending on circumstance.
9. Do try to curb your powers as best you can, I know we're dealing with meta humans but no one likes a god moder. All abilities have weakness so don't forget yours.
10. Most importantly, have fun. Failure to follow this rule will not be tolerated. TO THE DUNGEON WITH YOU!
11. Please bear in mind guys that I'm not an experience GM. I'll try to keep the RP running as smooth as I can but if I start breaking some of my own behavioral rules or if you feel like you want to leave because of my personality please tell me. I'm never trying to be a jerk but I sometimes come off in that light just cause of the way I approach certain things.

Running from the World (Super Powered RP)

Are there any restrictions on what abilities a character could have?

@Vetis

No two characters should have the same ability, you should only have one power and try not to be too powerful. I'll look at each power individually to see if it's over the edge.

Oh and before anyone starts picking abilities my character has Intangibility, the power to pass through solid objects.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

RWBY Volume 3 Part of it anyways.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Weapon:

The Judgement: A finely crafted katana. Unique to modern weapons, its special traits lay in its forging and increased capabilities, rather than the versatility of modern weapons made today. The style of weapon predates The War, and is a family heirloom for the Gilver family. The blade is made of an ancient steel folded and purified countless times in a Dust forge, and in-between each layer is solidified Dust, allowing the blade to react incredibly well with Aura and allowing even a small appliance of Aura to drastically increase its cutting power, and with enough Aura can slice apart Aura and Semblance based defenses in an instant. The blade's durability is legendary, and in the hands of a skilled user is said to be able to cut through anything. The blade is polished with a special dust mixture that gives the blade the colour of the user's aura when aura is applied to it. This is purely aesthetic. The sheath is also sturdy enough to be used as a second weapon for both defense and offense. Due to the blade's unique properties, he can only break through Semblance defenses by physically striking them with the blade, extensions and Semblance powers do not count.

@Sho Minazuki

There's so much flavor text that it's difficult to tell but Judgement is just an ancient Katana, very sharp, cuts through almost anything and is good at channeling aura for increased power, is that right?

Semblance:
Advanced Aura Manipulation, Gathering Storm: The source of his pride and arrogance. For his whole first year he did not have access to his Semblance, and instead relied on mastering what he could control, and that was his Aura. He mastered his Aura to an extent where he could out-pace any other hunter with Aura alone, but doing it through raw Aura capacity like that was not something he had the capacity to do, so he made and mastered a new system, a flow. The Aura would flow through his body, steadily accelerating and distributing his Aura through his body at an almost lossless efficiency. His Aura this way would require incredible concentration, but as a fight goes on, he becomes more and more powerful. It's no surprise in a duel he prefers to evade and counter-attack at the start. Varius with well built-up Aura can move at blindingly and almost teleporting speeds for short bursts, though doing this multiple times in a row would easily expend his Aura and require him to re-accumulate his concentration. He can use his aura this way to increase his general speed too, allowing him to slash multiple times at blinding speeds. Most people believed this was his semblance.

@Sho Minazuki

Um, exactly what is his semblance, is it this speed burst (which I believe Oswald has a monopoly on) or is it the strange concentration makes aura levels rise ability. If I'm reading this correctly why exactly would being able to distribute his aura evenly over his body cause his aura levels to increase? Is this tied in with his semblance?

Blade Vortex: Varius is capable of creating slashing storms, either all around or at a distance. He can make them slash straight or curved, and generally has a fair amount of control over their length and distance. He can throw them out in his slashes to extend range, or simply increase the cutting power of his sword drastically, he can call a random storm of them at long distance allowing him to counter-attack even from far away, and use them as a means of countering close range attacks. His control over it is limited due to awakening to it only recently, but he has managed to connect it efficiently enough with his Gathering Storm Aura control, allowing him to naturally increase the size, speed and damage of his appliances of this Semblance the more flow he has.

@Sho Minazuki

Where exactly does this extended slashing ability come from? Is it a function of his katana or is this his semblance?"

Strengths and Weaknesses:
His general combat weaknesses are that his ranged attacks have more delay than say, a bullet, so his ability to strike at a range requires his target to already be occupied. Ideally he wants to be close to his opponent, but he cannot use his dash consecutively without sacrificing some of his concentration, meaning ranged capabilities plus mobility would be his natural enemy.

@Sho Minazuki

If his weapon is an age old katana with as far as I can tell no mechanical abilities how does he have ranged attacks?

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

With Pannette still absent, let's go for Prince's Avendell Vs Sho's Varius and my Rika Vs Forsythe's Impara.

@Lugubrious

@Sho Minazuki You wanna get on that? Should we start a pad or do it in PM?

Modernizating Shakespeare's Classics?

In which case can I have Katherine, I'm going to assume this doesn't go exactly like the plays cause she was a lot cooler before she got married (no matter how funny some of those scenes were).

Running from the World (Super Powered RP)

I have a couple of basic ideas to get the story started but overall this isn't well planned out, as long as flying by the seat of your pants is okay with everyone.

Also if you want to start writing up CSs I'd be happy to take a look at them.
