For many, December 12th, 1999 was a normal day that focused mainly upon trying to prepare for the upcoming holidays...shopping, decorating the tree...simple. For others though, this day was not so simple. They too awoke, only to find that they themselves had changed. They could do things that no other man had done before; flying through the air, freezing time, manipulating flames, things spoken of in comic books and bedtime stories...things thought to be impossible. At first they were confused, even afraid, of their newfound abilities. Some thought of them as amazing, a sort of evolution... Others thought that they were monsters now, their cells had been tampered with...that they were no longer themselves, that they were...no longer human. It was not long before organizations across the world discovered these odd events, of people gaining 'super powers'. Fear corrupted their minds, they thought that these superhumans posed a threat to humanity. Blinded by horror, the goverments of the world pooled their resources together and created a organization solely meant for subdueing these mutants...to capture them and bring them in for research. Now being pursued by the hunters, the superhumans were forced to either hide their powers (or at least attempt to) or leave their comfortable life behind and go into hiding. Of course, with the general public aware of these 'menaces' though, that is much easier said than done. It is exactly five years since the awakening of the powers, and four years since the goverments began their hunt for these superhumans. They try their best to eke out a living, hiding from the law. Some have taken advantage of their powers and the fear of the populace, turning into criminals...others use their powers for the good of humanity and trying to right wrongs, trying to show the world that they aren't all monsters. With the world as it is now, many are not sure whether to hope or fear the future... ----Summary One day many people awake to find that they have superpowers, a year later the goverments discover this and form a organization that is tasked with capturing these special people and bringing them in for research. The superhumans are forced to either hide their powers, or go into hiding entirely. Currently, it is five years after the 'Awakening' ----Who are you? You are either a superhuman or a member of the Organization tasked with hunting down these people. You can be anywhere in the world... ----Power Notes You can only have one power, and there are a couple of powers that I won't allow. Forbidden Powers -Invincibility (Pretty much being unable to die, that's just cheap. If you have a super-healing power, it has to have a noticeable weakpoint ((Such as destroying the brain or something)) -Power Theft (I mean, like, being able to steal one's powers with ease. You can have a power that allows you to TEMPORARILY ((Whether you have to be in a close proximity, or you can only hold onto the power for a few minutes is your choice)) copy one's power) If you have a power that you think may be unfair, I mean REALLY unfair, then feel free to PM me asking for permission beforehand. ---Character Sheet Here is how you should post your character Name: Nickname: (Optional) Age: Gender: Side: (Superheroes or Organization) Power: (Remember, only one. If your character if apart of the Org then omit this area and the one below) Years since Awakening: (How long since your powers awakened, 5 is the max number. If you want to discover you powers at the beginning of the RP, then add a N/A Once more, if your apart of the Org then omit this section) Skilled: (How skilled you are, out of 10. 10 is if you are extremely skilled, 1 is if you lack any control. Remember, if your powers just awakened chances are your not going to be super skilled with them. Also, yet again...if your apart of the organization omit this part) Appearance: Bio: Morals: (What you believe in) Current Location: ----Rules 1. Keep swearing at a PG-13 level 2. Keep romance at a PG-13 level 3. Please, keep the G-Modding out of here 4. No flaming (In OOC, your char can insult another person's char...) 5. And well, have fun! Or else I'll have to get my boomstick out |

Name: Nicholas York Age: 20 Gender: Male Side: Super-Human Power: Manipulation of electricity, being able to screw around the electricity around him Years since Awakening: 2 Skilled: 4 Appearance: Messy brown hair that frequently drops in front of his eyes, dark brown eyes, he wears a collared white shirt with a black jacket thrown over it giving him a rather normal appearance. He has jeans on, and normal tennis shoes. Bio: One of the few gifted (or cursed) people of the world, Nicholas's powers first awakened during a pool party when he was 18, where he sent a current through the pool in which everyone was swimming in. Luckily, the current wasn't strong enough to cause any deaths but at the same time the boy's nature was revealed. He was forced to run from the party, forced to go into hiding in order to avoid being captured by the organization. Morals: York, for the most part, is good-hearted as he would never even think about trying to kill nor would he even try to harm someone. He does, however, have no problem with doing petty theft, his only way at making a living in these times. Current Location: New York |

Name: Jordan Angels Nickname: Jay Age: 16 Gender: Male Side: Superheroes Power: Telekenetics and mind reading(it's from the same power, it just has those two uses) His phycic power is very hard to understand. Years since Awakening: 4 Skilled: 7 Appearance: ![]() Bio: Jay Grew up wanting to fly and help people, dreaming up his own heros, thinking of how he himself could help people, and slowing growing his own beliefs unguided by everything else. He is at the moment, technicaly homeless, becoming a noble theif to survive. Not stealing more then he or others need. He however, keeps his life up well, a few people know him on the streets, he always caries a smile, and no one seems to know his secrets. No one even seems to even get his mind. He is currently thinking up theories of time and the universe, as well as drawing a few cartoons and playing guitar. Every now and then he'll get some money for the last two things, but not much, even though he is really good at both. Morals: A Kind hearted person, he thinks at a true smile can fix can be shown even in the darkest days, He has a hero complex where he always wants to be a hero and save people. He thinks death is not planned out, everyone is ment to die of old age not from gun shots or car wrechs. He however does not consider his own life in that, risking his life for people just so they could live a bit longer, using his powers the best he could to save as many people he can. He, however, doesn't fear death in the least for other people or himself, he just doesn't like death coming too soon. He is mainly a dreamer, which explains why he thinks everyone should live long and everyone is basicly good. However big his dreams are, he always sees how they can fail, he can always see from the other person's view, which makes him act a little weird at time, feeling like he is alone in large crowds. He, above all else, believes that everything will work out in the end, however he as well knows it may not... he still believes it will. Current Location: New York City |

Nick quicly ducked into the alleyway, grimacing as the pain lashed through his body. He had screwed up, bit of more than he could chew. York had thought he could control the lighting, that the theft would be a sinch. Guess no, Grinding his teeth together, he down upon his hands...noticing jets of electricity jetting through them. He needed to get control over it... |

Jay sat up agenst a tree in central park, His guitar was also agenst the tree, but 90 degrees around it so not somewhere he could play it. Suddenly a few strings moved by themselves. He smiled as he started to play the guitar with his mind only. |

Name: Jaden Zen Schwartz Nickname: Jan Age: 17 Gender: Male Side: Superheroes Power: Future Sight Years since Awakening: 3/2 Skilled: 1 Appearance: ![]() Bio: He's lived in New York for most of his life, playing some of the few games the kids have invented on the street. The game he likes the best though is a sort of race, except there are fewer rules and you can use whatever you want to get to the goal. He simply runs, a bit odd since some people use bikes and stuff, but Jan is fast and uses a lot of short cuts you can only use when not on a bike and such. He's even developed his future sight a bit from the race, using it to 'sence' which direction would be better or worse to take, since he hasn't developed it enough to actually see anything. His dad is a cop and his mother is a florist, both love him but like most New York parents, can be inattentive to their son at times. Morals: Do what you can to live, but try not to screw anyone over. Due to his life style, he does believe in this and tries to abide it, though has been known to shamlessly brake it if he needs to. Current Location: Southern New York City |

Jay had the guitar in his hands now, playing well, a few people left money in a top hat he had near by. Others said stuff like, "could be better" or "boring" when they knew they had no where near as much skill as him. He smiled as he continued to play. He picked up on a few people's thoughts and nearly laughed at one person's thoughts. He was sarcastic in his head and very funny as well, but didn't speak a word of it outloud. |

((I changed my location to New York, since everyone else is there XD)) Trying to control his breathing, Nick picked up his coat and threw it over him. It did little to block the chilly weather, though it would at least prevent him from freezing to death. Slipping out of the alley, the young man made his way into the crowd and began to head down the bustling street. As he walked though, a rather enjoyable tune reached his ears, the plucking of a guitar. Hmm...standing on his toes he noticed a boy in the distance, sitting up against one of the many trees dotting central park strumming the guitar. Noticing the donation hat right next to him, Nick decided 'what the heck?' and pushed his way out of the crowd and made his way up to the little stage. Reaching into his pocket, he peeled out a dollar and tossed it into the hat. "Nice," The young man said before making his way back to the street. |

((Zeph! you used one of my fave pictures! D=<)) Jay stopped for a minute and yelled thanks after the man, but something his power picked up made him curious about this person, it wasn't a direct thought, it was more of a feeling or something, his power did strange things at times, though he could control it when ever he wanted it still did things like this. Jay grabbed his hat and put the guitar on his back walking after the man putting all the bills in his wallet and the coins in his pocket without a container. He put the hat on and continued after the man. Not getting too close, almost trailing him, he didn't understand the vibe he got. |

((yay pic stealing XD)) Jan looked left, right, and forward. "God, why'd I come this way again?.... well anyways, which would be the best way to go?" His left eye starts to cloud over, and he looks at each one slowly. "Well this way doesn't seem too bad, this one would lead me into trouble, ah, here is a good one!" Jan starts running down the right path, seeing a kid infront of him he jumps over Jay. "Crud, sorry dude!" Jan said, barely dodging him while running. |

Shuffling his way into a nearby convienence store, Nick pulled out his wallet and flipped it open. Grimacing, he began to go through his money...the frown on his face getting bigger with ever passing moment. He was running, time to put another...heist into action. Slipping his wallet back into the pocket, Nick casually walked between the shelves, eyeing the numerous packages of food stacked upon them and every moment or so he took a look at the cash register. |

Jay took notes on Jan, having a strange feeling about him, however this one not from his physic power. Jay rolled his eyes and walked up and directly up to nick. That guy might have money is a thought he tried to throw into nick's head, the thought may or may not be heard however since jay just started to develop this form of manipulating his physic energy. |

Kalin walked into town, his stomach growling, "Ugh, dumb flying and making me hungry..." Kalin looked through his wallet, finding a 5 dollar bill, "Sweet, I thought I had spent this." Kalin walked into a convenience store and picked up a bag of chips, paying the cashier, he opened the bag and started to eat. Kalin noticed a couple guys in the aisles, but payed no real attention to them. |

Jan stopped for a second, he was getting tired. "God....damn it........ why'd we say it was going to be so far to the goal?!" He wished that he had brought a water bottle with him, because he was really thirsty at the moment. |
