General Bio
Name: Jenna Baxter
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Appearance:

For someone that is as short as 5’2”, Jenna has an average build for someone her size. She is most often found in jeans and simple shirt or a blouse with a matching pair of shoes or boots.

Superpower
Name of ability: Magnetic Manipulation
Description: Jenna has the capabilities of moving and shaping metals affected by magnets. Ever since she was affected by the serum, a magnetic force has been created in her hands allowing to use her powers by pulling and pushing the metal she is concentrating on.

Level one abilities: Jenna is able to move small objects weighting at a max of ten pounds but any more than five pounds will require great focus and have the possibility of not working. She is able to alter and shape soft metals but causes a lot of strain and focus.

Level three abilities: Jenna can move metal up to half of what she can physically hold and able to alter the shape of soft metals at ease. She is able to alter denser and harder metals but without much success. Able to gain control over one of her weaknesses, Jenna is able to use her magnetism to willingly cause electronic disruption in objects such as surveillance cameras and the likes but only with direct contact.

Level five abilities: Jenna can move metal up to what she can physically hold and able to control up to two different objects (one for each hand) with ease. She can shape nearly any type of metal but is unable to change the given properties and traits of the metal she is manipulating. Her capability to cause electronic disruption has moved to a range of up to ten feet.

Weakness/drawback: Jenna is unable to use most technology until she is able to restrain her magnetic force while using the object and even then she has to keep a steady concentration to make sure she doesn’t slip up. Strong magnets can interfere with her powers and is completely powerless against any metals not affected by magnets. Due to the magnetic force within her body, she is not able to absorb iron as well as normal people especially during prolonged use of her powers which causes Anemia if she isn’t watchful of her iron levels
History: Born and raised in central Florida, Jenna lived an average, upper middle class life with both her parents and a younger brother. Upon graduating from high school with decent grades, Jenna decided to move north to New York to experience life in the big city while in college, something she has been planning ever since she was young. After spending two years living in a dorm and working at a coffee shop, Jenna moved out into a small apartment a few miles away from the school and has been living there since. Enjoying life in New York, Jenna has decided to stay in New York and although she hasn’t found a job a full-time teacher with her degree, she has been working as a substitute teacher for the last year with a promising chance of being a teacher next year after a recent interview.

The day before the bus ride: A small smile crept on Jenna’s lips as she looked through the storefront window at the litter of puppies being displayed. Ever since she moved to New York, having a dog was one things she missed besides her close relationship with her parents and brother. However, the apartment she was living in had many strict rules and having a dog was one of those rules. She often debated about moving out and living in a place which was more dog friendly, however she knew that it would be unwise until she had a steady teaching job. As she normally was, Jenna was optimistic and had a good feeling that the interview she was in yesterday went well and that she would soon be on her way to fulfilling her goals.

With a small sigh, Jenna started to head down the street knowing that she couldn’t waste too much time today. A small group of friends were meeting at her house in a few hours for dinner and she still hasn’t been to the store to buy the items necessary for dinner. “Crap!” Jenna exclaimed aloud as she reached in her pocket as she realized that she forgot her shopping list at home. As she mentally chastised herself for being so careless yet again, Jenna pulled her phone out to check the time. Frustration overwhelmed her as she shoved her phone back in her pocket as she realized that she wouldn’t have enough time to run back home to get the list. Hoping that her memory is good enough to remember all that she needs, Jenna headed into the store and quickly grabbed the materials for the tacos her and her friends were going to eat before making her way to the checkout line, the worst part of shopping in her opinion. Waiting impatiently as the checkout line seemed to move at a snail speed, Jenna was glad when she was finally able to leave the store.

“Procrastinating again?” A familiar voice said a joking mock tone as Jenna reached the street her apartment was on.

“Can it Emma or I won’t procrastinate canning you.” Jenna said with a slight smirk as she handed a few of her grocery bags to her friend. “You’re a bit early aren’t you?” Unlocking her apartment door, Jenna opened the door for Emma.

“Of course. I’m looking forward to eating on time this time around so I came to help you out.” Emma jested as she placed the bags of groceries on Jenna’s table. “I can start to cook the meat if you want to prepare the other stuff.”

“You have to be kidding me!” Jenna exclaimed as dropped her groceries onto the table and quickly rummaged through the bags.

“Forgot something?” Emma asked as she watched Jenna with folded arms.

“Yeah, I’m thinking we’re going to have vegetarian tacos tonight. I forgot the meat.”

Hmm, I feel like that power might be a little too close to Regendorf's ability.

Alex Moore

Name: Alex Moore
Age: 58
Gender: Male

Superpower and weaknesses: N/A

Information
A military officer and scientist in the U.S. Navy from 1982 - 2002, he's since retired and tried entering employment under Mr. Viktor's company. However, after five years he was let go, for what Alex claims to be because he wasn't underhanded enough to continue benefiting the company - of course the paperwork says differently. Getting fired is what first made Ranae question her father and began her ascent into the vigilante mindset, which Alex has seen grow since then.

He is a genius when it comes to small, power technologies such as the Shadow's spin discs and small weaponry of all kinds. Despite his more lacking knowledge on bigger projects such as vehicles, he is a great enabler to Ranae and her crusade against crime. He also serves as a great support and friend, having known the woman for nearly ten years now.

Callie Wright

Name: Callie Wright
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Appearance:



“Nothing beats being a woman. The more feminine I look the happier I am.”

Isn

Callie has learned to ignore the people staring at her as she walks down the street. She is used to them assuming she is a runway model because of her height and long legs. While she doesn’t think she’s drop dead gorgeous, she still likes to be complimented. In fact, she would be disappointed if no one notices her outfits. Her desire to be notice causes her to spend far too much on new clothes.

When Callie isn’t constantly worrying about her appearance, she can be quite charming. Her smiles are warm and sincere, and her blue eyes will twinkle. However the opposite is true when she is in a foul mood. People just have to look at her to know how her face to know how she is feeling.

If there is any choice, she will not wear footwear other than steel-toe workboots; both for the foot protection and for the option of shin-kicking if trouble should arise.

A horrendous scar is on his left hip and outer thigh is a remnant of his injury. A mortar shell exploded and embedded large pieces of shrapnel in his leg. He walks with a very small limp, favoring his right side. His voice is a calm baritone, and he can carry a tune halfway decently. He’s often heard humming or singing to himself in periods of calm. He is ambidextrous, having learned to use his right hand while his left side recovered from his injuries. He is occasionally reliant on painkillers when his nerves fire and the pain flares up.

Story So Far...

Part One: Beginnings

Chapter One: The Week of Change

After a six year long hiatus, the events that took place when the Sierra Project continues as Carter, the man in charge of Team Bravo (a team of Gen. Bravos working for the TSP) rallies up his team after the sudden disappearance of three of the ten remaining vials of the serum that is capable of giving abilities to about a quarter of the people that come in contact with it. With suspicion that the Reformers (former TSP members that left for their own unknown cause) is the cause of the sudden disappearance, Carter heads to the Rocky Mountains in search of Tia, a level four Super with the ability communicate with electronics. During his discussion with Tia it is noted that Pearson, the militaristic man in charge of the TSP doesn’t know about the vials as of yet and that they must be found before something is done with them.

As this is going on, a scene is unfolding in New York City as Dr. Wilson, a Gen Alpha that was also one of the original scientists involved before the Sierra Project, boards a bus with the three stolen vials as he prepares to meet with Cameron, one of the tem Gen Bravos. However, his plans changes as the bus crashes into a FedEx truck and unknown to him and everyone else on the bus, one of the vials breaks and an odorless, colorless and tasteless gas is released into the bus and affects some of the people on the bus as well as a few that happened to be near the bus. During the chaos, Dr. Wilson slips away and makes his way towards a park where Cameron, the leader of the Reformers, is already waiting. However to both of their surprise, one of the vials is broken and knowing that there’s going to be new Supers appearing, the two quickly devise a plan to find the new generation of Supers, Gen Charlie.

As the two groups rush to find the Gen Charlies, people throughout the city are noticing changes within themselves as the serum starts to take an effect. Symptoms start off with a migraine and is followed by flu-like aches throughout the body, giving the Charlies a restless night of sleep. With all prior symptoms and pain gone the next day, a new symptom starts to appear that is beyond any explanation as their powers start to awaken ranging from a bad case of sandy hands to suddenly healing from injuries to even causing others pain. Throughout the week, some brush off the incidences as nothing more than coincidences and try to keep ahold of their jobs or survive on the streets while others ponder the thought of conferring a doctor or even a priest while some even decide to step up and stop a robbery at a store or even try to take on the role as a vigilante. Unbeknownst to all of them, great change is about to occur in each of their lives as the TSP and the Reformers each start to get closer to finding all of the Gen Charlies.

As Tia and Carter as well as Richard, Carter’s assistant reach the nearly empty Headquarters, the trio meet Aaron and Annie, the newly married level three Pangolin Super/head doctor couple and Ben, the level four Super with powers over emotion. During a meeting Tia set up, she reveals that Dr. Wilson was the one who took the three stolen vials of serum and during the crash he was spotted in through traffic cameras and with the suspicion that one of the vials were administered, finding the affected civilians is vital. However before they could get far in their meeting, Tia is interrupted by Pearson, who is quite pissed at the situation at hand which during his conversation reveals that the reason the last ten vials of the serum wasn’t destroyed but due to known reasons. With permission to track down the Gen Charlies, the temporarily reformed Team Bravo quickly works together as Pearson gathers his team, bringing the Headquarters back to life.

Meanwhile Dr. Wilson and Cameron rejoin the other three Gen. Bravo Supers that make up the rest of the members of the Reformers. Josiah, the level four Supers with the ability to teleport is sent to work with Daniel, a level three Super with the ability to track and amplify a Super's ability, to find the missing Charlies while Garret, a level three Super with the ability to stretch his body works with Dr. Wilson on a future plan.

To be continued in chapter two...

Chapter Two: Within the Sandy Van and the Cell of Solitude

One day shy of a week passes and both the TSP and Reformers are ready to act as both group mentions that it is "game time". Carter tries and persuade Pearson to take his team along with Pearson's men but is shot down saying that this mission is a one time thing and he isn't looking to starting up the Sierra Project yet again after the mishaps that the Gen. Bravo brought the time before.

Summary (AKA, the TL;DR):
-This is the first roleplay for a three part series (tentative to change depending on how things progress)
-Our characters are going to be a group of average people find themselves intertwined between two opposing forces with superpower like abilities
-Throughout the first part of the roleplay, the main objectives for the characters to accomplish is to learn how to control their newfound abilities and to dig deeper into the history between the two groups
- The setting is in modern times with a slight futuristic edge on weapons and technology within the two opposing forces
Interest Check

Brief History:
2001. It was a year that changed everything but not in the way most people think. Unlike the news of the Twin Towers falling, the happenings of the Sierra Project was kept a secret. A small team of scientist under the watchful eyes of the U.S. Military went out to find a way to enhance human performance to prepare themselves for the future. However, instead of finding enhancements that could allow a person to grow physically stronger than normal or allow a person to be able to survive harsher terrains longer than normal, they created something much more than they could ever dream of. A serum that could give inhuman abilities to about a quarter of the people given either by injection or inhalation of the gas produced.

After the original group (nicknamed Generation Alpha) were tested on and the serum was found to be perfected, the Sierra Project moved to phase two with the introduction of Team Bravo in 2004. A group of ten were chosen to accomplish tasks deemed impossible by normal humans. However, things didn’t go as everyone expected as Gen. (generation) Bravo was decommissioned and the Sierra Project was shut down in 2008.

Now it is 2014. Saturday, May 3rd to be exact and a few people that previously worked on the Sierra Project are becoming restless. One of the scientist was planning something and was delivering three vials of the serum in New York City. However, plans fell through as a minor car accident happened while riding the bus, breaking one of the vials during this process. Thus releasing a gas throughout the bus and unknowingly affecting a quarter of the people on the bus. Burger flipping teens, a first year middle school teacher, a recently divorced alcoholic, a tourist from Canada; just a group of average, everyday people who are soon going to be thrusted into a situation they would have never seen themselves in.

Welcome to the rebirth of the Sierra Project, Gen. Charlie.

Special Notes on Abilities:
Although I would like to see a growth in each character’s ability, I do not want the final outcome to be something too overpowered. The abilities are going to manifest in five stages ranging from a total lack of control (level one) to full mastery (level five). For most of the first part of the roleplay, the characters are going to sticking to level one and brushing into level two later down the road. Out of those in in Gen. Alpha and Bravo, few are on the top end of level three or emerging into level five but most are level four.

Rules and guidelines:
-Follow the Fundamental Rules of the Guild and Casual Standards. Seriously, read them if you haven’t because I will harp on you if you don’t follow them. Especially on the part of being Fonz cool and rule five of the Fundamental Rules.

-Play fair. Seriously, no one wants to write with the metagamming Mary Sue or the invincible godmodder. With the way this roleplay is going to work, our characters are purposely going to be weak and without knowledge of what is going on.

-I’m not too much of a stickler when it comes to posts but please use common sense. If you know spelling or grammar is not your strong point (which it isn’t for me) use a spell/grammar checker before posting. Running low on time so you're just going to throw a random, half hearted post to fill your quota? Don’t do it. I rather have a good post a day later rather than a crappy one. No matter if you are just coming into Casual and barely reaching the minimums or writing paragraph after paragraph of Advanced level work, I want your post to be a good representation of what you can do.

-Following up on the Fonz rule, please be mindful of how often you post. Speed posting in the IC will take you towards a speedy path out of my roleplay. I'm quite understanding when it comes to being unable to post for a period of time so if for some reason you are gone for an extended amount of time or things are going to be slow for you, please tell me if you can.

-Have any suggestions or ideas, please tell me! Although I’m the GM, I’d love to have feedback and help creating this story.

Welcome aboard!
If you could find a way to distinguish between Intuitive Foresight and the other power well enough I might let you use it but like you said there might be too much of an overlap. The ability to blink could work but I'll let you think about it and see if you have another idea.
