▼ 1 . 0 . 0 . A P P L I C A T I O N P R O C E S S || Guidelines for Character Submission

[1.1.0.] - As the GMs, we reserve the right to deny, veto or otherwise reject any character application based on any number of factors that we find make the character unfit for this roleplay. This can include player history, perceived literacy, lack of understanding of the game's concept, unruly behavior in the iCheck/OOC or towards the GMs, other players or simply a generally poor attitude. Other reasons for application denial will be listed in the following rules.

[1.2.0.] - All Character Sheets must be submitted to the GMs using the provided skeleton. Character Sheets which do not use the provided skeleton will be rejected and asked to comply with the set standard. This code can be found provided below the rules. Please remember to change the capitalized 'HR' to 'hr' in order for the horizontal lines to work correctly.

[1.2.1.] - Incomplete or in progress sheets should not be posted in the OOC nor should they be posted in the character tab. Completed sheets ready for review are the only character sheets which should be sent to the GMs via Private Message. If you need a place to store a work in progress sheet, you can create a PM with yourself or a Character Archive thread.

[1.2.2.] - Completed sheets are to be privately messaged to the GMs for review until approved. Once approved you may move your sheet into the Character Thread for storage. Once the sheet is put into the Character Thread it becomes a contract between yourself and the GMs, meaning this is the character you have signed on to play and you will not alter or change anything about the character without first gaining the GM's permission to amend the sheet. This primarily relates to your character's biography, abilities and skills. Character relations, supporting cast and other minor items may be altered at any time but a heads-up is still appreciated.

[1.3.0.] - Character Sheet reviews will be provided to you via PM and each review will contain a verdict on the character's acceptance along with a list of reasoning why the character was accepted, conditionally accepted or out-right denied. You will be allotted one appeal per review, up to a grand total of three reviews. If the sheet is not in the GM's liking after the thread review, it will be denied and you will not be allowed to apply again. These three reviews count towards different characters as well should you change characters after your first one was denied.

[1.3.1.] - Reviews will be sent to the player within 24 hours of a posted completed sheet. Please try to understand that in the event of numerous character sheets being submitted in the same day or due to obligations outside of Crestwood Hollow there may be the occasional delay in this process.

[1.3.1.] - In the event of a reasonable delay, any displays of impatience towards the GMs will result in an immediate dismissal of the application and thus a denial towards the player participating in the RP. As the players, the GMs have lives and obligations outside of the roleplay and may not always be able to respond in a rapid manner. Please have patience and a postivie attitude adn you will receive a response in a timely manner.

[1.4.0.] - You can create any superhuman mold you want with tact. All invincible superhumans or obvious imitations of DC or Marvel titles will be judged harshly. If you must make a 'monstrous' character/power, I advise you to make your character dual sided so they may blend with the regular people. Your abilities should also be a secret to anyone outside of the character’s circle of trust, remember people are afraid of what they don't understand and superpowers are a new concept to the world. People will not be willing to accept them very quickly.

[1.4.1.] - In line with above rule, do not make your character well rounded, give them weaknesses and flaws. Limitations in their skills and abilities, reasons to make them need a team to support them. Additionally, give your character room to grow and develop. It's always fun to have a new power show up down the line, just give the GM a heads up first so it doesn't look like you're godmodding.

[1.5.0.] - Character abilities should feel at home in a realistic or even cinematic world akin to the Avengers/X-Men etc. That said as mentioned above be careful with physically disfiguring abilities.

[1.6.0.] - Failure to adhere to any of the character creation rules will lead to rejection of the application with a citation of the broken rule(s). Permission to re-apply will be given on a case by case basis depending on the rule(s) broken and the quality of the application. Critique will be given on Character Sheets which don't break any rules but aren't quite up to an acceptable standard. Please be willing to work with the GM in the event of this.

▼ 2 . 0 . 0 . O U T O F C H A R A C T E R C O N D U C T || Guidelines for posting in the OOC Thread

[2.1.0.] - Respect the Game Masters. The GM's words are to be adhered, don't argue or disregard them unnecessarily. If a GM asks you to stop doing something please do it. Likewise if a GM asks you to change something in your post please do it. Failure to adhere to any GM or Moderator requests will result in expulsion from the game.

[2.2.0.] - Respect the other players. Constructive criticism is fine, but flaming or trying to run players off just because you don't like the way they do things is not okay. Remember, it's the GM's job, not yours, to point out if there's a problem. If you feel that there is a problem, then contact a GM directly.

[2.3.0.] - Likewise any quarrels will be dealt with by the GMs. Don't take them out in the OOC, arguments should be dealt with between the two parties through private messaging. If the involved parties truly can't solve their issues a GM can act as an arbiter upon request.

[2.4.0.] - No GIF Wars. This is a thread for discussion of the roleplay, its characters and plots. This is not a Spam Thread. Chat is allowed and encouraged but within reason, please try not to fill the OOC with numerous pages that have little to nothing to do with the roleplay itself. An active OOC generally means an active roleplay so feel free to chat up your fellow players about characters and events in the RP.

▼ 3 . 0 . 0 . I N C H A R A C T E R C O N D U C T || Guidelines for posting in the IC Thread

[3.1.0.] - Absolutely no 'OOC' chatter in the In Character Thread. If you have a question or anything to explain there is an Out Of Character Thread provided. You have no excuse to make an 'OOC' comment in the IC and if done it will be heavily frowned upon.

[3.2.0.] - You are your character, so act like them. Create or portray their mannerisms, powers, and ideals to how they have been established in the game. BE the character, not just yourself with the character's powers. The notes section of your CS has been provided for such a reason, use it to help yourself remain consistent in character portrayals.

[3.3.0.] - Writing expectations for this roleplay are at least two (2) well developed paragraphs as a minimum per post. Three (3) to five (5) paragraph posts however would be awesome so long as you're not simply chewing the scenery. Proper spelling and grammar is also expected but small mistakes here and there are understandable. Blatant offenses will be called out.

[3.3.0.] - You are required to post at least once within ten (10) days after the GM Plot Post advances the RP. Extensions will only be given in extenuating circumstances. Please recognize your limitations before joining the RP, if you are unable to post once every ten days, then it's highly likely that you do not have enough time to keep up with the RP.

[3.3.1.] - In the event that you do miss the ten day deadline, your character will be listed as 'inactive'. After a further week (7 Days) of inactivity, your character will be expelled, and dealt with as necessary in the IC, whether killed or used as needed and then discarded. This whole process is simply easier if you just let the GM know if you're unable to keep up or simply have lost interest in the RP.

[3.3.2.] - If you find yourself in a plot with another player and they disappear, do your best to move on without them and quickly finish the arc to the best of your ability, or ask for the help of a GM.

[3.4.0.] - No God-Modding or metagaming. This refers to controlling or manipulating another player's character in way that is completely self-beneficial and not pre-approved by the other player. This also includes being untouchable against NPC characters as well as being all knowing. Keep your character humanized or risk being expelled from the RP.

[3.5.0.] - This is a Character Driven RP, and as such you are encouraged and expected to take charge of your character's sub-plots and storylines. This is a favourite rule of mine, and that said, there will be a heavy emphasis on collaborative activities and team building as well. The GMs will be leading the RP in the traditional sense with a driving plot and will ensure the RP keeps moving however we do want to see you develop your characters and produce your own plots. However we don't want to see you lock your character out of interaction and focus solely on your character and their 'world'. No one enjoys watching you play with yourself, it's always better to let someone else join in on the fun.

[3.5.1.] - Player Character's are not to be killed without permission nor that player's supporting cast members. It is fine to kill nameless NPC's, but PC's or important NPC's will require authorization by their creator except in the event of a GM event.

[3.6.0.] - Plots should not be completed in one or two posts. Your character should not be able to stop an entire robbery by themselves or put out a city block on fire with relative ease. That said obviously different power levels do apply so if you do manage to put out the fire, solve the cause of it. If you stop the robbery find out who hired the gang or what their motives were. If all else fails do some character development or show us some ‘Slice of Life’ moments for you character if you do solve a plot quickly.

S E X U A L C O N D U C T || A note from the GM

This is an RP with open world elements and I realize that relationships are a part of this. While I have no problem with this I do want it kept a specific way to avoid breaking any rules. As part of RPG's rule, mature content is forbidden on the forums. You may however use the standard fade-to-black technique if you desire and that will be fine, just keep it PG-13/14A (May contain: violence, coarse language and/or sexually suggestive scenes.) both leading and following up. I implore you to keep within the age restrictions set up already by administration. As such, let’s keep it simple, ages 16-18 can have relationships with each other and likewise for 13-15. Please just use your common sense if you're going to seek a relationship within the RP. You have been warned of my expectations on this matter and should you fail to follow through you will be asked to leave the roleplay and reported for breaking site rules.

C O M M I T M E N T & C O N S I S T E N C Y || A note from the GM

If you join this RP, if you take the time to submit an application, I'm putting my faith in you that you'll be committed to it and that the character you play will be consistent with the one in the agreed upon CS. Personally, I have a hard time with this sometimes and I understand that things just happen. That said I’m referring to suddenly giving a character new powers with no explanation or completely changing their backstory in order to add new skills. I’m okay with changes but I’d like a heads-up first so perhaps we can work a more natural way towards these things happening. In terms of commitment, dropping out of the RP randomly for whatever reason is a pain or a GM. Simply put, it wastes my time along with the other players. If you do not think you can join and you're sure something will come up, do not join. Tendency to not care about an RP after a while? Don't join. Simple as that. I will work with you when it comes to bumps in the road. If you think you're going to be out for a couple of days, that's fine. I'll find a way to excuse you from the story or play your character. However, please let the group known as far in advance as possible. If you're going on a trip, tell me something. Do not leave me wondering where you are. Let me know so I can keep things going. I will work around you if you work with me when you can.

▼ F . A . Q .:

---

0 0 1 || Is this an original universe?

This RP is based in what I like to call the 'Hyperverse'. It is a hard reboot and adaption of my previous original universes of Vigilance and the Mavericksverse. The biggest difference is the complete erasure of the heroes known as the Mavericks. This is due to the fact I only can claim the rights to one of the characters. In terms of differences from Vigilance, there's been several changes made to Hyperhumans, most notably the broadening of their abilities and an isolated power source. All major organizations from Vigilance have been done away with in order to free players of constrictions and allow for a more general world building experience for those who wish to contribute.

0 0 2 || Do real world location exist?

Simply yes, while Crestwood Hollow itself is a fictitious city, it is still set inside the very real state of New Hampshire and country known as the United States of America. Real world cities such as New York, San Francisco, all exist with no changes outside of the technological advancements made in the lore.

0 0 3 || Can I make an original character?

Yes, in fact that would be preferable to adapting a character original conceived for another RP. However there is no penalty for re-using a character and it won't slow or affect your acceptance. I just prefer fresh ideas especially with the Hyperhuman concept.

0 0 4 || How many players will there be?

The aim is to gather six to eight reliable players who will make up the 'Study' group. If need be we can run the RP with as few as three or as many as twelve. New players can be added down the road if our numbers dwindle whereas if we keep a full roster, no new acceptances will be made.

0 0 5 || What kind of powers can I use?

The ideal powersets will be those which allow the character to affect the world around them. Powers which leave the character with physical deformities will be given a low priority in acceptances as the RP is based on the players attending a public school. As such any 'freaks of nature' would simply stand out too much for them to attend the school. All powersets will start at a street level or lower, meaning they barely give the characters an edge above an average human. Throughout the RP, the character's abilities will grow so they should be written with development in mind.

0 0 6 || Can I use magic?

Characters in this RP are required to be Hyperhumans only. That said, no you are not able to use magic or gain your abilities from any other source. This means you can not be a vampire, werewolf, alien or demi-god.

0 0 7 || Can I have more than one character?

You may only have one primary character in this RP, however you are encouraged to develop a cast of secondary characters to interact and challenge your character. It is more than welcomed for each character to come from within different social circles at Mather Memorial High School and not know each other before the events of the RP.

In the event that your character died in the IC, you may create a replacement player provided you weren't removed from the RP for any of the reasons specified under the rules.

0 0 8 || Can my character be bad/evil?

Your character should struggle with morality, after all suddenly being gifted with powers above those of mere mortals could lead to some overwhelming temptation whether to get revenge or use them for self gain. But that said, your character should not spiral out of control, or at least the group should step in before then. The overall idea is that our characters do become heroes in the end.

0 0 9 || Can my secondary characters be bad/evil?

You are free to do as you wish with secondary characters. If you wish to mold them into an antagonist for the group you are encouraged to consult me and we can collaborate on how to make that happen.

0 1 0 || What will the plot be like?

The plot will follow a group of students who are handpicked by a teacher to be part of his 'study group'. However unbeknownst to the students, the teacher is aware each of them are a Hyperhuman and plans to teach them how to both control and use their extraordinary gifts. The 'Study Group' will bond and grow together eventually leaving the class room behind to protect their home from both others like them and forces no one has ever seen before.

0 1 1 || Can my character die?

Simply put yes. There will be moments in the RP where character death is entirely possible and I would like to treat these moments in as real of a manner as I can. Going into this RP you should know that in the event one of these situations arise, I will not as if I can kill your character, I will simply do it. Abandoned characters will often be turned into cannon fodder.

0 1 2 || If my character dies am I out of the RP?

Absolutely not unless you had abandoned your character. An abandoned character means you've likely dropped the RP, or missed your posting deadline thus meaning you're out. If your character died by circumstance you are free to make a new character and continue as part of the RP. I also understand bowing out after the death of your character though.

//STATS:

◼ HEIGHT | 5' - 8" (~173cm)

◼ WEIGHT | 156 lbs (~71 kg)

◼ ETHNICITY | Caucasian

◼ EYE COLOUR | Blue (Red when Abilities are in use)

◼ HAIR COLOUR | Blonde/Light Brown

◼ SCARS | Aiden has numerous scars on his body, primarily focused on his torso and arms. Although most have faded and healed, there are a number of them that are still quite evident when Aiden lift up his shirt.

//DESCRIPTION:

Often playing the part of the stoic, Aiden is always the last person to enter a room and the first to leave. A teen of few words, but many actions, he prefers not to waste time and effort on idle conversation cutting to the point immediately.

Prone to dressing in layers, Aiden usually layers a tank top with either an open hoodie or collared shirt under his trademark leather jacket. During school spirit days, he can be coaxed into wearing his letterman jacket, although he prefers not to do so on a regular basis due to the unnecessary attention it draws. Always a fan of baggy, straight-legged jeans, Aiden is never seen in shorts unless caught in his boxers. His favourite footwear is a pair of steel-toed high-topped boots, although he can be found wearing Converse hightops during warmer weather and even on rare occasions, flip-flops. Around his waist is always a thick leather belt, bearing a heavy dual clasp buckle.

Aiden prefers to remain clean shaven, keeping his hair short and often tousled as he rarely applies product due to his frequency of wearing helmets and the occasional black ballcap. Due to his athletic abilities, Aiden has maintained a healthy and toned physique. Generally, consider attractive, his body boasts a fair amount of muscle befitting of someone who is a regular athlete.

_{"My sister looks after me, that's all you need to know."}

Born to the North End of Crestwood Hollow, Aiden’s life didn’t get off on the right foot. His father, Lucas walked out after his birth, leaving Aiden’s mother Harper, to struggle with postpartum depression leading to her slide into alcoholism. Aiden was left in the care of his eight-year-old sister, Vanessa, who provided the infant Aiden the support he needed, while their mother became more neglectful and verbally abusive with each bottle she drank.

Unable to hold down a job due to her spiraling habits, Aiden’s mother began to sell her body, which led to a seemingly endless parade of different ‘suitors’ coming into their home. The ever-revolving door of men opening the pair of children to abuse which their mother never failed to notice.

When Aiden was eight, one of his mother’s gentleman callers attempted to force himself on Vanessa. Seeing his sister in distress, Aiden flew into a blind rage. While the boy was physically no match for his sister’s assailant, the yelling and screaming were enough to alert a nearby autonomous patrol car.

It was at this point that Child Services was forced to step in. While Vanessa fought for her right to be emancipated, Aiden was sent to live with his Uncle Tim and older cousin James. While Tim did a good job of putting food in front of Aiden, he was little more than caregiver having little interest in Aiden as a person. Thankfully James, or rather, Jimmy, was more than happy to have Aiden tag along.

With only a three year age difference between them, Jimmy taught Aiden how to be a Northside Boy, and it didn’t take long before Aiden started tagging along with Jimmy as the older boy was inducted into the Northside’s resident gang, the Sons of Salem.

Being the youngest one around didn’t go well for Aiden as he suffered at the hands of the other boys. Constantly bullied and picked upon, he was punched and belittled at every turn and because of this, Aiden was never considered to be an actual candidate for the Sons of Salem. By the age of thirteen, Aiden was at his breaking point and decided to prove himself. Unfortunately for Aiden, he attempted to steal a car was quickly foiled and the boy found himself quickly in a youth detention center.

Sitting across from a public defender was the dose of reality that Aiden needed and he soon found himself living with his older sister once again. Now twenty-one, Vanessa and her fiance, Michael, were able to take custody of Aiden on the condition that he complete a community-based rehabilitation program. Agreeing, the terms were set and Aiden was free to go.

Between the rehabilitation program and seeing how far his sister had come from living in the Tracks made Aiden realize that he wanted to be able to leave Crestwood Hollow when the time came. While he was a sharp kid, Aiden knew he couldn’t compete with some of the other students and so when the time came to start high school, Aiden threw himself into the school’s athletic programs.

By his sophomore year, Aiden had managed to become the Mather Memorial Ravens’ quarterback, point guard and goalie, rotating through football, basketball and ice hockey as the seasons changed. Under the direction of the school’s aging coach, Thomas Clark, Aiden had managed to give himself a fighting chance for a full ride scholarship.

Now entering his junior year, Aiden is hoping to begin to attract the attention of college scouts, but despite his new lease on life, his vices are not completely gone. Aiden houses a lot of deep-rooted issues and has a long way to go before he can surpass the influence of succumbing to his upbringing in the Tracks.

_{"Light 'em up!"}

//ABILITIES:

◼ OPTICAL ENERGY MANIFESTATION | Through the absorption of ultraviolet radiation such as sunlight, Aiden's body has the ability to metabolize the radiation and expel it through his mutated corneas converted to thermal energy. This thermal energy can be ejected from the eyes in one of two ways, as concussive blasts or as a continuous beam.

When fired as a concussive blast, Aiden can either release these blasts singularly or in rapid succession. The size and speed can all be controlled through manipulation of his eyelids, although Aiden lacks such fine motor controls. The temperature of his ability is variable with the Aiden's maximum peak output reaching 1510 degrees Celsius (2750°F) which is even capable melting through solid steel.

Aiden however, has a current peak temperate of 100°C (212°F), the temperature at which water boils, and while he can reach this temperature, he cannot maintain it due to the strain it puts on his body. While Aiden can't currently force his ability to burn any hotter than a hundred degrees Celsius, extended training and practice would eventually raise the temperature of the target higher than the above numbers.

Like the temperature, Aiden controls the force behind each concussive blast. He can simply radiate heat from his eyes or, Aiden can put up to enough force to easily lift a man of roughly 90 kilograms (200 lbs) into the air. At an absolute maximum, Aiden could be able to offset an airborne half tonne truck. That said, due to the strain Aiden can't consistently manage that level of force.

Furthermore, the width and diameter of Aiden's blasts and beams have an effect. A focused narrow beam is more likely to cut through a target where a wide-spread blast will push back or knock down a target. As with the temperature and pressure, Aiden has the potential to control the size of his beams, whether they're small precision blasts or a wide, large blast for a maximum area of effect. Currently, he lacks the understanding and practice to successfully manipulate his eyelids in the manner required for such fine control. Due to this, he can only fire a generic blast or beam.

While Aiden's optic blasts can be fired anywhere within his vision's range, the solid beams can actually be bent and curved by his own will as opposed to simply reflect or refract off of mirrored surfaces. To this extent, Aiden can literally chase a target with his optic beams as long as they are within eyesight. Due to his inexperience with his abilities, he has yet to discover or even attempt such a feat.

◼ ENHANCED EPIDERMIS | Compared with a mundane human, Aiden's epidermis is unique in the fact that while it absorbs ultraviolet radiation, it also is able to displace energy, spreading the point of impact in order to reduce damage. As such, Aiden has partial immunity to his own abilities as any attacks redirected will affect him at a lesser rate. When hit with an energy-based attack, Aiden's skin cells are able to absorb part of the blow before displacing the rest evenly along a larger surface to reduce harm.

◼ ENHANCED EQUILIBRIUM | Due to the force of his abilities, Aiden's sense of equilibrium is enhanced allowing him to maintain near perfect balance even while projecting the maximum amount of force from his eyes. This subtle ability has allowed him to excel in various athletic abilities while remaining relatively undetected.

//SKILLS:

◼ ATHLETE | Aiden is a passionate member of the Mather Memorial Ravens and holds key positions on the football, basketball, and ice hockey teams. A well-rounded athlete, Aiden possess impressive, endurance, stamina, speed and strength and is hoping to continue to refine his skills in order to begin to attract scouts during the remainder of his high school career.

◼ STREET SMART | While not a gifted academic, Aiden understands people well for someone his age and is generally able to navigate most social situations, albeit he's not exactly a black tie event kind of kid but he does maintain a certain rugged charm even when found in an offputting situation.

◼ PRAGMATIST | Due to the severity of the laws regarding Hyperhuman Abilities, Aiden would be the last person to ever rely on his and years of running with the wrong and tough crowd have taught him how to fight, how to fight smart, and how to fight dirty. Aiden is not above being an opportunist and will take a cheap shot if it wins him the fight.

◼ PAIN THRESHOLD | Due to years of abuse under his mother, her clients and his cousin, Aiden has developed a rather high threshold for pain. He often doesn't notice when he's been cut and minor bruises go undetected for weeks. In a fit, Aiden relies on being able to take more hits than the other guy due to his prolonged exposure to being slapped, punched, kicked and generally assaulted throughout his youth.

//LIMITATIONS:

◼ FIELD OF VISION | Aiden's abilities hinder his vision while in use. Each blast he fires is a moment when the world is completely distorted in a burst of brilliant colour. This is even worst when emitting a beam attack as his vision is almost completely obstructed leaving him open to attacks. This is particularly exploitable when you realize that Aiden's own attacks can be redirected back at him and are completely able to injure him though to a lesser extent than the intended target due to Aiden's enhanced epidermis.

◼ FINITE ENERGY | Aiden's energy levels are not finite and overuse will leave Aiden complete drained, possibly even unconscious. In order to recharge his optic powers, Aiden requires rest and sustenance and most importantly prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation.

◼ HEAT RESISTANCE | Despite being able to project the high temperatures produced by his own abilities, Aiden is still susceptible to injury from his optic blast if he were to sustain maximum temperature in a continuous beam for a prolonged period. This would likely leave him with severe burns to his body and potentially permanently blinded.

◼ PREMATURE RELEASE | Aiden's abilities are linked to his emotions, particularly his libido and his anger. As such, when aroused, his abilities can flare up leading to him to fire a blast involuntarily. Likewise, when angry, Aiden can lose control of his abilities and either involuntarily fire, or fire much hotter and more intense blasts then he was intending to. When Aiden's abilities are flaring up, his eyes begin to spark out their corners, turning fully red just before a blast emits.

◼ REDIRECTION | While Aiden's attacks are difficult to reflect, certain mirrored surfaces are capable of doing so. Additionally, some glass structures are also capable of refracting his attacks thus altering their path and potentially making Aiden miss his intended target.

//WEAKNESSES:

◼ ADDICTION | While potentially hereditary, Aiden suffers from an addictive personality. Habits, both vices, and virtuous are incredibly easy for Aiden to pick up. Currently, he's addicted to smoking, never found without a pack of cigarettes. But both Aiden and his sister know it's basically a gateway for him. He's particularly afraid of drinking alcohol due to his mother.

◼ LIMITED RESISTANCE | While Aiden's enhanced epidermis is designed to ward off energy based assaults, it's still as equally vulnerable to knives and gunfire. It pierces the same as any other humans and provides no additional protection against physical assault beyond Aiden's own conditioning.

◼ ULTRAVIOLET DEPRAVATION | As Aiden's abilities run on a finite energy level, robbing him of a chance to recharge can render him powerless. Due to this, Aiden must conserve attacks during periods of darkness, including night and indoors if there are no windows nearby.

//SUPPORTING CAST:

▼ ALLIES

Hider

◼ THOMAS CLARK | Thomas Clark is the head coach at Mather Memorial Highschool, overseeing all of the school's athletics although his passion project is and always has been the football team. In many ways he's Aiden's confident and Aiden looks to him to fill the void of a father figure.

◼ MATHER MEMORIAL HIGH RAVENS | As a member of the high school's football, basketball and ice hockey teams, Aiden is friends or at least on friendly terms with his teammates. There's an unspoken sense of comradery between the teams and they often help Aiden if he starts to slip back into his old habits. The sense of friendliness extends beyond the teams Aiden belongs to and to the rest of Mather's athletic teams.

▼ FAMILY

Hider

◼ LUCAS ROTH | Aiden's father, Aiden has never met the man due to him walking out while Aiden was younger. Having only seen his father in photographs, Aiden is under the impression that he and Vanessa share a father, but his mother never confirmed nor denied this.

◼ HARPER ROTH | Harper, or as she's better known, Honey, is Aiden's mother. Honey is a nickname from a first boyfriend and it stuck, becoming the common name for her in the Tracks community. An alcoholic, her drinking binges led her to become neglectful and verbally abusive towards her children, a primary reason towards the abuse suffered by her children. Aiden hasn't been in contact with his mother since he was taken away despite Child Services' numerous attempts to arrange meetings while Aiden was in the care of his uncle.

◼ TIMOTHY MURRAY | Timothy Murray, or simply, 'Uncle Tim' to Aiden is a resident of the Tracks, the roughest part of Crestwood Hollow. While he's not an active participant of the Sons of Salem he is an alley to the biker gang and is protected by the group through his son. Despite taking Aiden in after the boy was taken from his mother, Timothy does not have strong feelings about Aiden and only did so out of obligation to his sister.

◼ VANESSA ROTH | Vanessa, or 'Nessie' as Aiden affectionately referred to her when he was younger, was Aiden's primary caretaker. Eight years older than Aiden, she fought for emancipation the day she turned sixteen. Vanessa's drive to succeed in life was exceptional as she lied about her age, gaining her first job at a local diner at the age of thirteen. Living on her own from sixteen on, Vanessa eventually met her future fiance, Calvin Jones and the pair moved in together before Vanessa came full circle and took in Aiden once again after his arrest.

▼ FRIENDS

Hider

◼ CALVIN JONES | Calvin Jones is Vanessa's fiance. The pair met at while attending the local community college together and immediately hit it off after finding common ground at a board game cafe. While Aiden was initially cold towards Calvin, he began to relax when he realized that Cal was taking a more hands-off approach to their relationship, letting Aiden come to him and not imposing himself as a big brother.

◼ BRYNN REYES | The captain of the girls' varsity volleyball team, Brynn has been the object of Aiden's affections since the first day of freshman year. The moment he laid his eyes on her, Aiden was smitten and the infatuation has only grown stronger. During his sophomore year, Aiden finally managed to attract Brynn's attention and the pair attended Winter Formal together. From that point on, Brynn has been Aiden's date to almost every school event but the pair have yet to solidify their relationship.

◼ MAKAYLA HALL | A member of the Varsity Cheerleading Squad, Makayla was once the girl that every guy on the football team wanted to be with. Then something happened over the summer that caused Makayla to become a social pariah. Aiden's not entirely sure what it is, but he feels a sense of empathy with the girl, that's caused him to notice her more.

◼ WINTER CARLYLE | Winter may be one of Mather Memorial's most notirous Queen Bees. Privileged, popular and pretty, Winter never fails to attract male attention no matter where she goes. A friend of Brynn, Aiden has spoke to her once or twice but never really got to know her or had any inclination to do so.

◼ DAWSON RIVERS | Dawson is the Mather Memorial Ravens' Center and probably the closest to Aiden despite the fact that he spends most of his time giving Aiden a hard time. Aiden often plays the straight man to Dawson's antics, with Dawson acting more like a stereotypical jock. Obsessed with all things female, Dawson is considered crass and crude when he's not managing to be charming.

◼ SHANE PARKS | Shane is the goofball of the Ravens, and the team's Tight End. Considered the lackey of the group, Shane actually generally puts forth worthwhile ideas that the more assertive Ravens claim as their own. When he's not with the Ravens, Shane actually plays in a band known as Overcooked Parsley as their guitar and bass player.

◼ JAMES MURRAY | James Murray, or Jimmy is Aiden's older cousin and the son of Timothy Murray. As a member of the Sons of Salem, James is part of Crestwood's climbing crime rate. As part of Aiden's conviction, he gave up the names of several members of the Sons of Salem, because of this, Jimmy and several of the younger members of the Sons of Salem did time in a juvenile detention hall. Ever since Jimmy has sworn revenge on Aiden.

◼ SONS OF SALEM | Crestwood Hollow's largest and most notorious gang, the Sons of Salem operate in the Tracks and basically control the small district. Under the guidance of Jimmy, Aiden was set to join the gang despite their cruelty towards him, until his effort to impress the gang when askew. The fallout of this made Aiden an enemy of the gang as he gave up the names of several members in order to lighten his sentence.

//STOMPING GROUNDS

◼ THE TRACKS | The Northside of Crestwood Hollow is known for being poorer and rougher than the South, but the Tracks are the poorest and roughest of the entire city. Generally immune to the influence of City Council, the Tracks are primarily run by the Sons of Salem and many propositions have been made on how to eradicate the Tracks in order to rebuild.

◼ CRESTWOOD RAILYARD | A massive shipping depot, the Railyard sits on the harbor, receiving shipping containers directly from incoming ships before sending them East along the rails. The Railyard also has a trucking depot due to rail becoming less common. The trucking depot most commonly is used to either deliver directly within the city itself or to the airport to be flown out. Aiden currently works at the Railyard, acting as a packer in the evenings and weekends to ensure he's not freeloading at Vanessa and Cal's place.

◼ THE OLD BAG | A bar located in the Tracks, it's owned and operated by the Sons of Salem making it a rather rough establishment and not one that you want to accidentally walk into. The drinks are watered down and the alcohol is more often used to treat bullet wounds than it is for drinking. The Old Bag is instantly recognizable by the line of motorcycles that seems to perpetually sit outside the establishment.

//PARAPHERNALIA

◼ CIGARETTES | Aiden is rarely without a pack of cigarettes on his person. While not a chain-smoker by any means, he lights a cigarette up on a regular base, generally before and after school unless he's stressed out in which case he starts going through packs like no other.

◼ FLIP PHONE | While it may not be the cutting edge of technology, Aiden's personal cell is an older flip phone. Simple and practical, it can make calls and it can text and most important of all it's cheap. Durable and capable of taking a beating, Aiden can often be seen fidgeting with it when bored.

◼ LIGHTER | An antique Zippo lighter, it's been decorated with Royal Airforce logo and by Vanessa's estimates, the lighter itself is from World War II. Supposedly it's been passed down from father to son for generations but that came from his mother and both Aiden and Vanessa consider it unreliable. Atop the RAF logo, a glyph has been inscribed and on the back is tally which Aiden assumes to be the amount of Nazis the original owner assumes. At least, that's the story he tells his friends.

◼ SWITCHBLADE | A simple spring-loaded knife, Aiden picked up the havit of carrying one from living in the Tracks for the majority of his youth. Due to this, Aiden is never without his switchblade, always keeping the weapon concealed on his person at all times. Although he never lets anyone know he carries it, hiding the weapon from even Vanessa. When feeling defensive or threatened, Aiden can be seen towards the weapon subconsciously.

A B I L I T I E S:

◼ Hyperhuman Detection - Jonas is able to detect Hyperhumans with almost a sixth sense. He feels drawn to them and as such will seek out areas where concentrations of Hyperhumans can be found.

◼ Intuitive Ability Detection - As part of Jonas' ability he is able to look at a Hyperhuman and immediately recognize what their abilities whether the Hyperhuman displays it or not.

◼ Intuitive Ability Comprehension - Furthermore, Joans is able to see the potential of the Hyperhuman's abilities and understand how it works and how they can use their abilities. This makes him an ideal teacher to younger Hyperhumans who are still discovering their gifts.

H I S T O R Y:

Growing up on the Western Coast of Canada, Jonas Lehrer came from a well-off family living an easy life. Excelling through high school, Jonas was offered numerous scholarships upon graduation before eventually deciding to attend McGill University in Montreal, Quebec. Taking a double major in biology and medical sciences, Jonas pushed his understanding of the human body. Having gone through viriumosis during high school, Jonas became fascinated with not only his own being but also all Hyperhumans living and hiding in the world. Crossing the border into the United States, Jonas earned his green card while attending Dartmouth College. Completing teacher's college, Jonas gained several years of experience before taking a teaching position with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Remaining on tenured staff for nearly five years, Jonas suddenly resigned one day under rumor of a falling out with his department head. Relocating back to New Hampshire, Jonas took up a teaching position at the local high school, Mather Memorial.

EPISODE 01.01.0 || Pilot

The bell has rung kicking off a brand new year at Mather Memorial High School, the largest secondary school in the sleepy city of Crestwood Hollow. This school year signifies the start of Jonas Lehrer's career at Mather Memorial, a recent addition to the school's staff. An ambitious young teacher, Jonas arrived at Mather Memorial with plans to inject new life into the school, starting a pioneering after-school study program. Seemingly recruiting students at random, Jonas has put together a group consisting of students from all grade levels. Due to this, it seems the students aren't necessarily going to get along as cliques and rivalries quickly form on the first day of class.

C A T A L Y S T || 1967 - 1984 CE

On October 18, 1967, Earth was hit with an immense Coronal Mass Ejection. During a total Lunar Eclipse, the sun emitted a massive interplanetary CME which doused the entire globe with high energy particles causing the largest and brightest occurrence of the aurorae ever recorded. Unfortunately this also brought a geomagnetic storm which ravaged Earth’s electrical transmission lines, causing power outages on a global scale. It was on this day that the Earth nearly stood still, sitting in total darkness for nearly ten minutes before back up systems began to re-activate. Numerous regions around the globe were left in the dark well beyond that. Cities were powerless for nearly a week while some rural areas were forced to survive for nearly a month without power. This event left a death toll numbering in the tens of thousands becoming known as the Dark Eclipse.

However the aftermath of the Dark Eclipse reached far further than anyone could have ever anticipated. The resulting effect of the high energy particles is a mutation appearing in one person of every million people. While public knowledge of the mutation remains vague, selected sects in the scientific community are aware of it and have dubbed the emergence of the mutation ‘Viriumosis’. In more common jargon, the possession of a mutation is referred to as the ‘Hype-Factor’ or ‘Hype-Gene’. Collectively, these mutants are referred to as ‘Hyperhumans’.

E M E R G E N C E || 1985 - 1999 CE

As the Cold War came to a close, humanity’s attention was turned to a new threat. One that was already in their homes, teaching their children and running their governments. As word of Hyperhumans became public knowledge a perpetual state of fear and paranoia took hold of the world. Neighbor was turned against neighbor and mother against child as humanity’s pattern of fearing that which they didn’t understand continued.

Propaganda against Hyperhumans was widespread especially in North America. Laws were passed that prohibited Hyperhumans from positions of authority on suspicion of using their abilities to gain an advantage. Athletes and other competition driven professions were heavily screened. Although there were those who chose to use Hyperhumans to their own advantage and more than one man or woman desperate to make a living allowed themselves to be drawn into the shadier side of things.

Activism and social conscious was pushed to an all time high during this period as people fought to be treated as equals no matter their colour, sexuality and abilities. Technology took leaps and bounds during this period as Hyperhumans with more subtle abilities were able to integrate into society and excel through their education and in their careers.

V I G I L A N C E || 2000 CE - Present

Due to the emergence of Hyperhumans during the late 80’s, technology advanced at a rapid rate. The majority of Earth’s power is based upon nuclear fusion with coal based energy completely phased out greatly reducing the amount of pollution present in Earth’s atmosphere. Roughly sixty-five percent of power is supplied by nuclear fusion while other clean energy make up the remaining thirty-five percent. Solar power makes up the majority of the secondary energy sources clocking in at twenty-five percent while wind makes up only five percent. The last five percent of energy sources is mixed between nuclear fission, hydroelectric and geothermal power.

Other advances in technology are rather notable among society. As of 2010, three dimensional screens or holographic displays have become commonplace among consumer homes while the self-driving car has been made available to the public market as of 2015. Despite the original fear of Hyperhumans, advances in both law and peace keeping technology has thus far kept any major superpowered crime at bay. Robotic K9 units along with autonomous patrol cars and synthetic officers have become the standard especially among large cities.

◼ H Y P E R H U M A N || Homo-Virium

Hyperhumans are humans who have undergone Viriumosis thus leading to the creation of a ‘Hype-Gene’ and development of extranormal abilities. Viriumosis occurs when the high energy particles create an insertion and add one or more extra nucleotides into the host DNA. As insertions in the coding region of a gene may alter splicing of the mRNA, or cause a shift in the reading frame, this almost always leads to a significant alteration in the gene product. These alterations lead to a wide variety of effects which are often looked upon as super-human abilities.

While Viriumosis was only able to occur in the individuals who were alive during the Dark Eclipse, the Hype-Gene is able to be passed along through reproduction. This is a cumulative result of high energy particles stored within the donating parent's chromosomes. A portion of these particles are replicated and passed along to through genetic material resulting in the offspring going through Viriumosis in utero. Naturally this leads to the creation of the 'Hype-Gene' in the offspring allowing them to display abilities akin to those of their parent(s).

That said, a human born without a 'Hype-Gene' will not display Hyperhuman abilities unless subjected to Viriumosis. However due to the constraints of technology, there is no way to artificially replicate the process which created the ‘Hype-Gene’.

The 'Hype-Gene' isn't exclusively carried within either sex but is a dominant gene within both ensuring that the child of a Hyperhuman will indeed be one themselves. Due to a lack of willing subjects, there are no studies as to whether powers levels are greater or equal within children who have two Hyperhuman parents compared to those who only have one. Hyperhuman abilities are incredibly diverse and more often than not allow the host to accomplish superhuman abilities. When a Hyperhuman is born, they have an unlimited potential as to what abilities they will develop. Hyperhuman abilities are not predetermined by parents but instead are developed during puberty in the majority of hosts. However those who go through trauma at a younger age may prematurely develop their abilities. Environment and circumstance surrounding the time of ability development will contribute to determining the host’s abilities. Due to the nature of Viriumosis, Hyperhuman abilities are closely linked to Earth’s Electromagnetic Spheres and could be considered to be powered through it.

The more of these 'Hyperhumans' that are in close proximity, the weaker they become as they fight to draw from the same EM spheres. Many of these 'Hyperhumans' live their lives without knowing about their abilities, a few odd occurrences happening in times of heightened adrenaline. But there are the few who learn to embrace their nature and use their abilities to accomplish extraordinary feats.

◼ 2018-05-09: Due to the amount of interest in this concept, I'm going to put a deadline on character applications. I will be accepting character application submissions until one week today, that is until May 15. Any characters submitted after the 15^th will not be considered for this RP, although they may be wait-listed if the applicant so wishes.

No character will be accepted before the 15, this is not a first come, first serve style of RP. Instead, I will be evaluating each sheet on a case by case and player by player base in order to ensure I have a cast that compliments my vision and a player base which shows reliability and dedication. Quality will always come over quantity, however, and new users to the Guild will be judged accordingly in order to ensure it is fair for all parties.

Please PM all applications to me for review. In order to build some tension in the IC, bios, and abilities will be concealed from other players.

◼ 2018-05-09: As with the original RP, @Romanhas been brought on as Co-GM and will be helping me primarily with the horror aspects of the story but also general moderation of the game.

◼ 2018-05-10: A lot of the submitted sheets have including some awesome stomping grounds. If accepted, would you want these areas added to the Setting section of the OOC to flesh out the world and allow people to use and visit your 'Stomping Grounds'. Let me know!

◼ 2018-05-11: For anyone submitting students involved in school teams, Mather Memorial's sports teams and the like will be the 'Ravens'.

◼ 2018-05-11: The OOC is under development. Please refrain from posting here and direct any and all inquiries either to the Interest Check or Discord.

The Haunting of Crestwood Hollow - A Supernatural Thriller

C R E S T W O O D H O L L O W || Est. 1684

Situated along the Eastern Coast of the United States between Hampton and Portsmouth, Crestwood Hollow is a small New Hampshire city originally founded in the 1684, shortly before the infamous Witch Trials. Settled in the fertile Orlaith Valley, the city is home to a large rural area, boasting a very fruitful agricultural industry. The largest export of the city is the Golden Delicious Apple. Beyond the valley lies densely populated forests of oak, maple and cherry trees. This contributes to several lumber mills in the area that provide a secondary industry to the city.

To the North of the Orlaith Valley is the Great Bay Lake. From there, the River Shannon flows South from the lake then East through the center of the valley and right down the middle of the city. The downtown of Crestwood Hollow is split by the river with one street travelling East on the North side of the river, while on the South side the street only travels West. Located every few blocks is a draw bridge which both connects the city and separates it when the need arises for a ship travels upstream. Towering buildings look down on the river ranging from hotels to banks, to white collar firms and apartment complexes. The Northern side of the city is known for being rougher than its Southern Sister. The 'Beau' half of Crestwood Hollow is home to the Mather Park, in the middle of which is an ancient white oak known only as the Hanging Tree. The Southern half of the city, the 'Belle', is newer than the Beau and is home to several more residential areas than the North. The further South one travels in Crestwood Hollow, the more construction they seem to encounter as the city is constantly expanded to accommodate new subdivisions.

Towards the Eastern edge of the city, the Shannon empties into the Atlantic Ocean, flowing through the Crestwood Port before it is swept away by the tides of the Atlantic. Due to its location within the Orlaith, Crestwood Hollow has very few visits via train and does most of its imports through truck and ship. As such, the Port is often a thriving hub of life with new ships visiting each day. Several fisheries dot the piers but have fallen upon hard times in latter years due to over-fishing in the Atlantic. Numerous recreational boats fill the docks and full warehouses litter the boardwalks.

M A T H E R M E M O R I A L H I G H S C H O O L || Est. 1947

The Mather Memorial High School is Crestwood Hollow's largest secondary school. Built in the late forties, the school has stood in the same spot for almost seventy years. As such the building does show it's age, especially in its tall architecture with a looming main entrance that casts a shadow on the stairs before it. The inside of the school is often stuffy, the air carrying a heavy musty odor that perforates every hallway. The original gymnasium has been transformed into an auditorium while an addition in the nineties added a proper gymnasium onto the school's west side. Outside this expansion are several basketball courts leading to track surrounding a multi-use field. This field is used for a variety of sports and when an event is held temporary bleachers can be erected on either side of the field.

The athletics facility is not the only recent addition to the school. Several portable units line the back of the school, added during the late nineties in order to increase teachable areas however most of these are used as storage currently. A technology wing was added to the east side of the school in the early 2000's. This wing includes state of the art computer labs along with wood working, welding facilities and even an auto shop. These facilities line the bottom of the wing, however the upper floor of the wing adds several new science classrooms and lecture rooms rendering the aforementioned portables null and void. At the rear of the main building is the cafeteria which looks down onto the park which shares the school's namesake. In order to encourage students to get outside on their lunch breaks, a balcony including an outside seating area was added to the cafeteria in 2013.

Like most secondary schools across North America, Mather Memorial offers a wide variety of teachables to its students outside of the mandatory core subjects. Additionally education is supplied in three levels of learning in order to ensure no student is left behind. This includes an essentials level for students who intend to go directly into the workplace after high school, an applied level for students who wish to attend community college and an academic level for students aiming to attend university. Some courses have no specified level and are open to all students but others require the student have certain prerequisites before they can enroll. Courses such as these often lead to graduates return to Mather Memorial for a fifth year, or as it commonly referred to as, a 'Victory Lap'.
