okie dokie, so we're starting to accumulate a nice little group here. perhaps a couple more and i will be set to start the IC.

I've been looking over submitted profiles and realize that I haven't really explained things too well and I probably should if i want people to understand whats goin on, sooooo.... here are a few things to help you understand what exactly is happening.


1. The setting is modern-realistic. It's pretty much just plain ol' earth with a few extra-mutated people running around.
2. Though this is sort of a superhuman rp, it's not exactly a comic book super hero rp. There's not really masked guys running around doing stuff, it's just a bunch of people that were born with or acquired some sort of special powers and are trying to learn how to control them so they can function semi-normally in life.
3. Pretty much everything takes place on the island; it's more or less a prison designed to detain them until they are deemed fit to reenter society.
4. Really, all you need to do when designing a character is make a regular ol', modern-day, slightly messed up kid, then give them some sort of powers.
5. NEW: I didn't think it would be a problem, but after mulling it over, I decided it just wouldn't feel quite right. So I am stating now that the general age group is high school aged. Sorry, I generally do like to have a really young person in a group, but not for this rp...

If there's anything that still isnt clear, feel free to post your question in the ooc or pm me.

Sorry for any confusion!

also... I will need someone to play the main "good guy" (which will wind up being the student council president), and someone to play the mian "bad guy" or the rebel leader. I know it's kind of odd that i'm the gm and [not playing one of these parts, but I have other plans for my character...

Ok well since I am co gm I will start this because I am unable to accept more people. (( PS the gifted will come to the school by them selves and get on the boat ))

Alan walked up and onto the boat, He had flown over to the boat by himself knowing that if the government found out he had not come they would send many of their men after him and as good as Alan was with his skills he could not destroy the whole government by himself and that would be the only way to stop them following him. Alan sat down on the boat looking around as more people came aboard.

Jacob came aboard the boat he didn't really want to be there but after his parents had discovered that he had powers they didn't see any other option, even though Jacob had just let him stay home and keep doing what he been doing but it was what ever. He was now on the boat and would soon be at his new school, he knew that there were kids like him at this school not to say they were all shape shifters but they all had some kinda weird power. This was going to be a very interesting year

Gillian hopped aboard the boat, smirking. Yet another round of this torture they called school. Oh, well. A black Great Dane trotted at her side, and she spoke to it as she sat herself down at the bow of the boat. Charles would have to come, she told him, they couldn't let her 'therapist' dog not come. But the workers came, and forcefully took the dog off the boat as Gillian sat and watched nonmoving. As soon as Charles was off the boat, she began to hum to herself a dark tune, smirking as the others loaded.

The feisty redhead sat like that for maybe five more minutes before gracefully leaping up and changing into a massive dog-monster beast. Growling, it didn't look a thing like Gillian as it pushed its way through the crowd to Alan. "Yo." it growled out.

Alan looked up as the shape shifter barged her way through the small group of people to stand in front of him. Alan raised an eyebrow "Yo" he said in a monotone voice, He truly was not that interested in what Gillian was doing, She was already in his group, His followers, His supporters what he needed was new gifted to become part of his army of freedom. Alan looked up and gave her a slight smile "Please take a seat" this too was said in his monotone voice.

Gillian raised her beast head in a bout of howling laughter before changing to sit next to him, expression unreadable. "So, why the long face? You ill or something, slick?" She completly abandoned her Irish brogue for a more relaxed facade. "What I wanna know is, what happens when the world ends?" Oh, Gillian knew she didn't make any sense. "They took my poor Charley. You know, that buff guy from last year? They forcefully removed him from the boat." Her expression mirrored mock sadness. "And the cow jumped over the flaming grease-pot. Why are we here, anyway? This is stupid." She rolled her head back to stick a teasing tongue out at him. Throughout this, she kept one eye on him and one eye scanning the boat for listeners or potential rebels to join the cause. Never let it be said she did not keep her guard up.

Jacob watched a girl turn into some sort of beast hmm another shape shifter he thought he was glad he wasn't the only one but it kinda sucked not to be the only one now. At least back at home he was what his parents called 'special' and what he called 'different' and different was good because it wasn't boring old normal. But here people with powers where normal which meant this was going to be a very boring experience, so his plan was to just get out of this place as soon as possible with his powers mastered and nothing to bother him

Alan raised his eyebrow again as she howled/laughed, Alan didn't answer her long face comment they both knew that his facial expression was non existent let alone 'long'. A frown twisted its way across Alan's face as she mentioned Charley, He had been a friend "He was stupid he thought that we could take on the world with the just the current members of our little group" he said with no expression and a monotone voice not showing the thoughts of worry and anger at what had happened to his friend.

Alan leaned across to his slightly annoying right hand red head "Left hand side through the middle, He is looking at you, Play nice and see if he can be converted", Alan glanced at the boy and thought of something else "Use your feminine charm" he teased allowing his voice to change with his words but keeping his face perfectly emotionless.

Gillian laughed again, human. "He is much better as a dog. Sometimes my little brother comes in handy." She was, of course, referring to her six-year-old brother who could transform things into other things... Occaisionally. "Saw him already, boss lady." Gillian flashed him a grin, rising to look over the railing and call forth dolphins from the water. One leaped up to her and she patted it's head gently before it dove down again.

The redhead smiled happily, folding her arms and staring into the sky as she wove a zigzag pattern through the crowd away from the boy watchng her. Eventually, the girl with her head in the clouds made it behind Jacob. It was a wonder she hadn't bumped into anyone yet. Yet being the key word, Gillian took another step and, with foolish carelessness, ran into Jacob and knocked him to the ground, purely by accident. "Oh, mah lawd. Eem sae sorry, sah." [Oh, my lord. I'm so sorry, sir.] Gillian hastily scrambled to her feet. "Sae sorrie, sae sorrie." She spoke with a mixture of Southern drawl and Irish brogue, holding out a hand to help the poor boy up. "Eem Gillian Muller. I re-lay daeo apologaeze far dat, sah." [I really do apologize for that, sir.]

Astrid stepped onto the boat, a little nervous.. But glad there wasn't as many as she thought there would be. She slowly sat down, the wind blowing her slightly curled blonde hair out of her fair face. She looked at her shoes... Maybe they won't ask what my 'talent' is.. she wondered as she curled into a comfortable position. She drew her eyes away from her feet to the people around her, glancing at each one quickly then to the water that surrounded the boat. She thought of her foster mom.. and how awfully they looked at her.. A freak. She placed her gentle hand on the railing of the boat and kept watching the endless waters in a deep trance by it's beauty.

What appeared to be a tiger slowly walked up to the boat, hesitated, and then got onto the boat and found an empty seat. It laid down after pawing the seat for a bit, which revealed that he was only half-tiger by showing his face. It was obvious that he wasn't at all interested in going on a boat, but he was on anyway. He gave no thought, or even recognition, to those around him.

As raven appoached the boat, he removed his shades and thought, At least they dont know my main power yet. He looked around and rushed onto the boat for it seemed like all the passenger were broaded. Scanning the deck for a seat he notice a thought about fitting in, and decided to follow the thought. The owner was a cute girl staring into the ocean. He appoached her and thought to her,"Is that space next to you open?"

Her trance broke almost instantly and she held her breath, looking like a confused idiot. She looked up to him. He had not said a word to her, but it took her a second to realize that he was the voice in her mind. "You can sit with me." she said in a sheepish little voice. She looked at his muscles, I guess there's more than just mind tricks. she thought. "I'm Astrid... Astrid Ryker, but you probably won't say my last name anyways.." The corner of her lip turned up and her confidence level rose slightly. [I'll notice you in a moment IC, Smiley once Donanater replies.]

(I'll always be talking in thought unless i say otherwise ok)"Thanks," Rven replied, "oh and sorry for scaring you". "I am Raven, nice to met you Astrid." He was scanning over what she was looking at. Noticing how one would get sucked into such a beautiful scene of the ocean when his thoughts were inturepted by a horn signaling that the boat was ready to go. "So this little story start for us huh," he thought to Astrid."Oh and thanks for the compliment," he says with a playful smile.

[kk :D] "It's okay.. I kinda have to meet someone here, Raven.. Good thing I met you!" she laughed emphasizing the name Raven, making her voice sound delicate,

"Yeah, and a new life story for me. It's my first year."

She blushed wildly, Crap he can read thoughts too! He probably heard that. Can you hear me or is it a thing you can turn on and off? "Oh, wow. Uhh sorry.. I'll stop thinking around you, I mean we just met and you'll probably know about my entire background by the end of the day!" She tried to keep her thoughts away from mental pictures or mental audio.

Suddenly, when the horn rang, her hand on the rail seemed to dissolve through the three metal bars.. Crap crap crap. I'm so clumsy she left it like that. Hoping he would think she just put her hand down instead of it phasing from fear.

[Ummm anyone else should start to add stuff to XD] "Dont worry, I can only read your surface thoughts, and no I can't turn it off," I replied. The horn was the signal that the boat started to move toward the island with our new home. I finally took a look around, and noticed for the first time how many of us where on this boat.
"So Astrid, I hope you can defend yourself, becuase I figured in a school like this we will fight to see our strength," I thought to her as I looked at her. She really did have a cute look to her, with her hair flowing in the wind. Looking past her I noticed that we had picked up speed, which I assumed was to keep those that decided not to go at the last minute from bailing from the ship.

Alan looked up as the horn rang and in time to notice the phaser put her hand through a couple metal bars, Alan smiled to himself *We could use someone with those powers* he thought to himself as he stood and make his way over to the two people.
Alan walked up to them "Hello" he said in a nice and happy tone "I'm Alan, I was just looking for someone to talk to" he said in that same light voice, He was directing this more at the female he didn't know the males powers and therefor didn't have a true reason to try and invite him to freedom yet.

(( Alan is one of those people who cant be read, He was born like this and it is not one of his powers its just one of those random mental psychic blocks. ))

"D-defense? Well that's something I'll probably have to get training on.." She grinned, she had dazzling teeth, along with a gorgeous smile, making that probably her best feature; it made her glow and show her inner personality, a strong-headed girl, just trying to get to know how to survive in the world. It vanished just as soon as it came when Alan approached. He was very rough looking.. He reminded her of John Travolta in the movie Grease. She felt slightly attracted, but ignored it, and stood up to greet a hopefully new 'friend'. She had the corners of her lips tilted up, "Astrid Ryker. You're welcome to join us in a conversation, but maybe we should take this to a seat on the boat." her gaze softened and she looked at Raven, That means you too. she thought, then her eyes drifted graciously to lay upon a shaded seat, near the corner of the boat.

(I need to get into this so here goes)

Hearing everything that was going on, I got up and slowly made my way, on all fours, to a seat nearest to them. "Hey there." I said, in a low-ish tone. "I'm Ferroll. Who are you? and what's all the commotion up over here?" All my tiger-like features were entirely visible, giving me a bit of a vicious-looking form. However, I was being very kind for my looks. I thought to myself, These people are kinda weird...there's just something about them...

"Ok ok," Raven thought to Astrid."My name is Raven, nice to meet you Alan," he thought with a smile. Raven was a bit surpised and relieved at not hearing any thoughts. Finally someone who is queit. Raven had always been able to hear surface thoughts whether he wanted to or not, and it was rather loud at any givin time. He scanned Alan and judged him for his body and what looked like a battle harden body. He had seen his master's body many times in training and knew how someone who had seen battles looked.
I will be keeping my eye on this guy since he looks like a good opponit. Raven sat up and nodded to Astrid and started walking to the shadded spot noticeing the shapeshifter tiger was appoaching them.

Just before the ship left dock, two men could been seen walking up the platform looking as if they were holding on to something yet nothing was there between them. Suddenly there was a stuggle it seemed, as the two men fought to keep ahold of whatever they had their hands on. "Knock it off little girl!" "Get on the F-ing ship!" As the alarm went off for the ships departure then men turned and hopped off the boat. A girl stood there glaring at them, her bright purple hair covered with a black baseball cap and though physically she was a small thing at only 5'6 and thin she seemed bigger than life with her attitude radiating from her. She turned and looked around the ship with grey eyes, sizing up everyone that her sight laid on. Distrust filled her gaze as she went to an empty bench and sat down, she wanted to fight this fate but she wasn't dumb. She was trapped on a ship with miles of ocean around..she could go invisable, not turn into a fish or something. So she sat there biding her time, she'd figure something out, she always did.

"Im Astrid" she kept her warm smile on; she didn't bother saying her last name since she'd said it two times in less that 10 minutes. this place isn't bad at all. she thought I feel kinda welcomed already, she thought to herself while making her way to the seat. "Ahh!" she sat down. Then she laid back. Her arms behind her head giving her support to look out from under the shade and to thE sky. "Do you ever pick animals out of the clouds?" she asked Raven

Re: [OOC] "Boarding School For the Gifted" (re-revival) sign-up

Okay I am thinking of making a final revival for this... It will be different to this one slightly because I know nearly the whole plot, You see our previous Gm only joined the revival of this and he didn't get the full Idea. I was from the original and will try to explain it all better.

Just say yes or no if you wanna join, Ill post a link here once I've made it.




Re: [OOC] "Boarding School For the Gifted" (re-revival) sign-up

@ Thirteen

"haha, here we go again" Loki thought to himself looking out the window of the plane. He unbuckled his seatbelt and slowly walked to the back, grabbing a large duffle bag on the way. He paused to look out the window one last time, then pulled the large red lever next to the door. A loud alarm blared as the door slowly lowered, opening the cabin to a whirlwhind of noise.

The pilot looked backed and yelled above the din "What are you doing? You left your chute back in your seat." Loki just grined, and much to the surprise of the pilot, let the wind suck him from the plane. He hurtled towards the island, just a streak in the sky. He saw a clearing by some trees and decided it would be a good place too land. His impact sounded throughout the forest like a thousand gunshots, the ground was pulverized under his massive frame, filling the air with dust and dirt.

When the dust cleared. He looked out of the small crater he had made and was surprised to see a young girl and what looked like a wolf.


Re: [OOC] "Boarding School For the Gifted" (re-revival) sign-up

ok scratch that i figured it out. My computer's settings got changed some how >.<


Re: [OOC] "Boarding School For the Gifted" (re-revival) sign-up

um....what happened to all the posts? or is my computer just being a dick? Because its telling me there have been no posts for this rp and well..i'm about to scream lol. HELP!


Re: [OOC] "Boarding School For the Gifted" (re-revival) sign-up

Yes please join. There is about 4 of us keeping this thing alive at the moment.


Re: [OOC] "Boarding School For the Gifted" (re-revival) sign-up

This looks interesting. I might like to join and it seems others do as well, though IC the thead seems to have died. Could it possibly be revived and if so, is there room for another tagalong?

Name: David "Dark" Rouark
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Appearance: Hidden behind long black bangs, David regards the world through eyes of bright crimson. At the back, his hair is kept in a short ponytail drapped over his left shoulder. As for clothing, black shirt, jacket, jeans and shoes contribute greatly to the nickname "Dark"
Personality: Depending on his mood, Dark can go from being extremely friendly to blatantly rude in a moments notice.
Ability: By altering the density of his body, Dark can phase himself through solid objects or become practically impervious to physical damage, although only for limited amounts of time.



Re: [OOC] "Boarding School For the Gifted" (re-revival) sign-up

Okay I'm back, Just had to dust off the old Compaq lol.


Re: [OOC] "Boarding School For the Gifted" (re-revival) sign-up

Well, I suggest getting on the boat. Maybe interacting with animals - my character can speak with them too. She can also shapeshift, but into a beast-wolflike thing. Pick a person, ask them for help getting around, unless your char isn't a first year. Otherwise bump into someone, talk to them, be silent and sit in the corner, do something that someone else can interact with you on.



Re: [OOC] "Boarding School For the Gifted" (re-revival) sign-up

My laptop charger is broken, And my laptop has less then an hour left, Feralfairy will Gm till I am able to get back.


Re: [OOC] "Boarding School For the Gifted" (re-revival) sign-up

I tend to be as original as I possibly can unless others already use the idea.


Re: [OOC] "Boarding School For the Gifted" (re-revival) sign-up

A good idea (if you need one) that could relate closely to the 'partway' part would be a power leech, like Rogue from X-men. Also, characters are submitted IC, not here. Otherwise I think we'd be glad to have another joiner.


Re: [OOC] "Boarding School For the Gifted" (re-revival) sign-up

Sorry but we already have a lot of shape shifters if you wont to change the powers then please do. Its just atm most of out people are shape shifters.


Re: [OOC] "Boarding School For the Gifted" (re-revival) sign-up

Hey, can I join?

Name: Ferrol
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Powers (Max is two): can speak to animals, takes on the characteristics and abilites of a tiger

Appearance: eye color: orange, hair color: white, clothes: tiger skin leotard(?)/undergarments, tiger paws for hands and feet (includes the claws), wears a tiger head on his own head, light tan skin, has a tiger tail.

(better now?)


Re: [OOC] "Boarding School For the Gifted" (re-revival) sign-up

Yes sure fine with me, But I'm not sure if he well be acting or not yet.


Re: [OOC] "Boarding School For the Gifted" (re-revival) sign-up

Ah, okay. I completely see. However, I don't think I'd like to be that, seeing as it's rather pointless. Maybe I could work as the right-hand (wo)man instead. If, like you said, psycoman, Alan was going to play nicey-nice person and fool them all, as right-hand man, Gillian could play the part of leader. Like a bit of a double. Do you understand?

Anyway, let's get this party started.
