Introduction
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO JOIN AS A GENDER BENDING CHARACTER! FEEL FREE TO PLAY A NORMAL CHAR!
-
It was an affliction that had been around for decades. Stories of mythology and such had written stories of it. Something that affected the gender of a person on the highest scale. It'd come to be known as the 'Flickering' Condition. The Flickering Condition is considered by most, the attempt of the body to alter itself, or offspring to have increased health, physical and mental improvement as a human. Unfortunately, this 'superiority' is achieved by becoming the opposite gender to some degree, usually 'flickering' between genders, as how the commonly known 'Type A' original variation of Flickering does.
Flickering can happen anywhere at anytime, though in recent decades, Russia, France, and Japan have been noted to have more infected people than any other area. Various governments try not to shine too much light on these afflicted people, attempting to keep them being seen as members of normal society. High Schools have been working on projects to help the 'Flickers' live among others while managing themselves and their unpredictable bodies. They've given it the title of 'Etat Tiers,' Or 'Third State' Project. One of the notable places to take advantage of this is Viel Island, and its prestigious 'beachside' education, namely at Nouveau High School, which undertakes the task of helping these young people enjoy their lives, no matter what tries to get in their way, their status as 'Flickers' and the thoughts of some not very accepting people, finding true love, and graduating, learning about themselves as they undergo a cycle of transformation, nicknamed 'Maturing.' They'll make friends with other young people, both those with the same strain, and those without it.
Sure, they'll get a little confused about sexual orientation, whether they want to be their old base gender again, or stay in this new one, some feeling it was a correction by the gods above. And they also get a couple other genes re-written, maybe throw a psychic, or an animal-person into the fray. Would make for some interesting cat-fights, even though it's apart of the whole 'evolution of humans' thing. Still, Mutant powers like that are kinda cool, you've really got to admit.

Stuff to know about 'Flickering':
The alternate gender tends to also be greatly superior to the base gender somehow, whether it be more skill in certain areas the other could not previously do well in, etc., as per the original desire of the body, or parents' bodies to create superior offspring. The alternate gender is also heavily attractive as opposed to the original form.
-
Type A: -Random Flickering-
Type A Flickering is the original, and most basic form of the disease. People are generally born with it, and the only early symptom that may or may not appear is a feminine appearance on a male (Ex. Bishonen), with no other obvious signs (girls get none at all, for the rare ones with this disease) . Somewhere along the line, generally their time of maturing, they can change into the opposite gender in a transformation that takes a few moments, the Flicker experiencing and feeling the entire 'ride.' Transformations of Type A come at random.
Most tend not to reveal themselves at this point, but rather to attempt double lives. Males affected by Type A that wish to remain male or female after the end of the maturing process have various options, Otherwise, even after the maturing process, the transformation can last the rest of their lives if it can.
Lastly, in terms of Flicker Powers, they can only access it in their alternate gender rather than base. The strength of their ability ranks in the middle..
-
Type B: -Manipulated Flickering-
This Flickering type is triggered by certain events rather than occurring at random, the trigger being anything from certain foods, high or low temperatures, certain physical actions, etc. Despite being called 'Manipulated' Flickering, it really still can be as difficult to control as Type A. Flickers of Type B must be very conscious of their surroundings, always keeping an eye out for something that could potentially change them
Type B's have the weakest power strength, but to make up for it, the most control.
-
Type C: -Controlled Flickering-
Considered the worst type of flickering. The flicker can activate the alternate gender at will, although there still are times where there are random transformations. However, as a cost, the time in the alternate gender is significantly, extremely long, and must be waited out. This tends to bother flickers on multiple levels, most of all, psychologically…Flickers of this type are rare, and require the most work to keep their condition a secret from others.
Type C Flickers have the strongest power strength, but the least amount of control.
-
Flicker Powers: A Flicker can only have one of these at a time. Each comes with sub-abilities that are earned later as the characters progress.
1. Companion: The Alternate gender can summon a small creature, like a bird, fish, mouse, anything not too large. The companion will not trust the base gender unless it is an emergency. The companion is capable of performing amazing feats that only a larger creature could accomplish, oddly enough...
-1A. Zoan: An ability in which the user becomes part animal, like a Neko Catgirl, and gains abilities related to that animal. Good for those who prefer physical based power. The transformation into one's Zoan form is like 'going super saiyan.'
2. ESP:
Psychic Powers. The basic Flicker ESP includes-
Telekinesis,
Mind Control (This is conducted similar to an RP fight: the player whose mind is to be read will determine whether or not you've successfully gotten into their mind.)
and lastly…MULTIPLE VISIONS! (Night Vision, Thermal Vision, X-Ray Vision, and…wait for it…HEAT VISION!…use that last one sparingly.)
-2A. Psi Energy: Psi energy can be activated for latent powers like Energy Constructs non-lethal Psi light blasts, and temporary shields.
3. Phantasma:
Classified as the ability to make one's self like that of a ghost through molecule manipulation. Includes the ability to phase through solid objects, and become invisible.
- Supernatural Offense: Allows for use of 'Ecto' Energy, which can be used for Multiple types of Ectoplasm, such as sticky, slippery, and Cold Flames
-
Of course, this is just a taste of the abilities. (you can suggest other powers. If they're okay, I'll accept them with your sheet.)
-
Non-Flicker Skills and abilities: For those without the disease, or those with it, that just happen to have the skill. These are optional!
1. Tricks: You're a Prankster at heart, so you have a wide arsenal for you to cause other people to suffer for your amusement.
-Traps (As this this RP didn't have enough of them): You've got new pranks. They're slightly deadlier though, using non-lethal attacks.
2. Gadgets: You know how to use technology well, and have a few cool things you made, like Stealth Radars, or maybe a working grappling hook.
- Special Weapons: You've made a couple cool tools, like a dart gun with a powerful, homemade tranquilizer, or maybe a freeze ray that lasts a couple hours.
3. Martial Arts: You have trained long and hard in mind and body. Your unarmed skills are mighty, allowing you to counter attacks, use sophisticated strikes, all with a mix of strength, speed, and skill.
- Chi: Can't shoot energy blasts, but it still lets your body perform great physical feats, from great agility to breaking stone with your bare hands. One's reserve of chi is limited to a certain amount,

Turning from the males’ locker room, he began to wander the halls. He had already finished his classes for the day, but home and the beach seemed a little too familiar. Adjusting his bag once more, he gave a soft sigh and headed toward the library. Maybe there was something – or someone – of interest hiding in there.
Not seeing Kylie, Tyler became confused then she saw Ace. She came up to him panting and sweaty and asked, "Um excuse me but have you seen a girl with golden blonde hair and a big um... bussom, out to here?" She used her hands to show how big Kyie's were.
Lavender looked around, and they both saw a young man wandering around. "There's that guy walking through the halls. Maybe he could help us out?"
"Alright, let's go..." Celeste realized Lavender didn't know her, and she wasn't supposed to know Lavender. "Sorry, I don't think we know each other's names. I'm Celeste." And before they could go and meet Ace, the flat chested girl that dragged Lavender away before ran up to him and started talking to him rather loudly.
"Excuse me, but have you seen a girl with golden blonde hair and a big, um... bosom, out to here?" Tyler used her hands to look like she was holding a pair of breasts, it was both funny and disturbing at the same time. Funny that she was actually doing that, and disturbing because it actually looked like she was groping a pair of invisible breasts.
Lavender then straightened back up and watched Tyler and Ace interact. "I think that's Tyler over there. She's pretty nice and so is her friend Kylie. I just wonder what she's trying to do is all with him. Surely Kylie couldn't have gotten lost already here if that's who she's looking for."
Lavender stuffed her hands in her pockets thought heavily on the matter. However, no real thoughts came to mind as she pondered where Kylie could have gone if she were lost. They had just come to the school today so getting lost was dangerous right now, well maybe not entirely dangerous but just really bad.

“Oh, yes. That’s my sister. Sorry, but Mom came and got her from school early, she was having tummy problems.”
His voice sounded as sweet as honey as he smiled through the lie, looking up to her.
“I’m Ace. Do you have a message that I can give her?” He was playing the innocent card, and he knew it. He was fine talking around girls, especially other Flickers. His head then turned to the other girl who had been trailing Tyler.
“Could I interest you girls in some Jelly Beans, by the way?” He asked, searching through his bag for his bag of candy.
She looked back at Celeste and said, "I think he's pretty friendly, if you need a room I think I may have one so we could share one together here at the school. That is since I doubt the school would allow boys and girls together. My only question continues to be where the teachers are. You wouldn't happen to know that would you, Celeste?"
Lavender turned her head back to back to Ace and studied his features. His blonde hair was darker than hers, almost dirty blond. It seemed to be a rather common feature at the school as far as she could tell. A rather normal feature.
"If you need a room I think I may have one so we could share one together here at the school."
"That could be fun, thank you," Celeste replied with a smile. Then Lavender asked about the teachers. "Sorry. I don't have a clue on their whereabouts either." A little after hearing the notion of jelly beans, something rustled around in Celeste's hair. Giggling, Celeste fidgeted, "Selen, stop, it tickles!" Then a little black nose stuck itself out from behind her neck.
She set down her bag, reaching up to pet the creature's nose. It nudged itself out and into her hand, a small wolf cub with perky ears and fur that contrasted its owner's hair color. Celeste forgot she was even there, and the fact that she had a pet on school grounds.
Psychic energy formed around her hand as she used mental power to try and pull Celeste's wolf away from her. She wanted to pet the wolf, hold the wolf, and basically keep it forever. She had no doubt Celeste would object to this, but she really just felt like messing around with the girl to see how far she would go to protect something of hers. She wanted a rather good roommate and this felt like an excellent test to judge her true capabilities.
"Ahhhhh, thats refreshing. So does anyone else want something, its my treat?" Tyler says in a soft voice "Oh ya, Hey Lavender you haven't seen Kylie around have you I was chasing her down the halls but I lost her around this corner. Also, Have you seen any teachers or other students I haven't seen any?"
"She's my pet," Celeste answered happily. "And I'm not sure about the legality, but Selen's always hiding in my hair anyways." Then Lavender almost made her bust a gut.
"I command you to rise and leave your owner! Join me, wolf cub, and I shall treat you as my pet forever and ever." The "forever and ever" really added an adorable childish note to the command, and that didn't help any case against Lavender in the slightest. Somehow, energy surrounded Lavender's hands, maybe the display of psychic power Celeste was wanting to see and obviously meant to pull the little wolf away... but to no avail. For some reason, Selen was able to keep herself on her owner's shoulder, mostly unfazed by Lavender's telekinetic abilities. Her ears folded in and she hid back in Celeste's hair, like the energy was irritating her.
Giggling at Lavender, Celeste tried to comfort her for her efforts. "If you wanted to pet her, you could just ask. But trying to get her to leave me for someone else is impossible. Even my parents can't keep her away from me."
Lavender allowed psychic energy to form around her hand again. This time she had to exert much more force though which caused her eyes to glow pink. In moments a large field of psychic energy formed around the vending machine. "Bring your pet over here to me Celeste, I just might feel like petting your wolf cub considering the amount of stress I'm about to undergo to knock over the vending machine. Moving large objects scares me sometimes."
Lavender began to exert force over the vending machine to slowly tilt it over. The cable behind the machine began to stretch as the machine and it were slowly pulled away from the wall.

His scarlet eyes then darted to the lemonade. Forbiden fruit; the thought caused him smile.
He watched happily, only giggling as the girls began to toy with the soda machine.
"Just don't break it." He teased, shedding his coat. It was getting a little hot, and he didn't need it on the inside. Without it, he looked 5 times smaller then he originally had. He looked more like an middle-school student than a high-schooler.
His attention then turned back to the wolf. He would keep a sharp eye on him, no matter the cost.

Tyler then walked up to Ace, "Hey I don't think we met yet I'm Tyler" She held out her hand waiting for Ace to shake it but in the back of her mind she wasn't trying to shake hands she wanted to hug Ace. As she wanted and planned to hug him she asked him, "Hey do you want some of my lemonade? And if your so facinated by the wolf cub why don't you ask to pet it?"
"I think my methods have only got me in trouble. Grab me soda if you want to Tyler." The manner in which Lavender spoke made her appear to be a rather evil seeming or rude person, but what she didn't realize was that Rex, her other half, was partially trying to control her decisions at the moment. The reason was because he was freaked out, very freaked out, due to the fact that this school had a high ratio of girls. He didn't want to be around them, so he was using Lavender as a means to distance himself from them without having to interact with them.
As Lavender knelt on the ground and breathed heavily she felt her body twitch slightly. "Oh boy," she thought, "I've probably used so much energy today that-", but before she could finish her thought she felt her breasts begin to shrink. Lavender felt her body lurch forward slight, but she caught herself on the floor with her hands. Within moments her c cup breasts had returned to their regular b cup shape.

"I just feel rather greedy right now," Lavender started, "Like I want to take stuff and keep it as mine without really paying for it in any shape or form." She pushed the vending machine back into place and gave Tyler a go-ahead on getting her a drink, falling to her knees soon enough.
She must have expended a lot of energy to do that. With that thought, Lavender nearly hit the ground, just catching herself with her hands. Celeste kneeled down and offered to help the girl up, not really worried about the morality swings. Power does that to people. "Need a hand?"
"I apologize if I've done anything bad here... I don't know what I was thinking."
A voice in her head, Rex, then spoke to her in her head, "Yes, apologize and let them know everything is okay. But note I can make you do more evil actions. I'm the real you."

Meanwhile, a short distance away from their building a man with black hair and eyes left a gym. Over his shoulder was a long katana. "I love morning workouts." he thought himself. Inside the gym, fifty people were sprawled out on the ground panting.
"Too strong..." one muttered.
"That teacher, what'll he do to the kids when they have PE." another said.
"He'll turn PE into a military operation. That's what or some kind of sparring dojo, whichever one comes first."

"Um... No, thank you, Tyler. I'm perfectly content with what I have." He smiled, giving a cute tilt of the head. "As for the cur- ah... dog. I'm perfectly fine on that offer as well." He laughed softly, trying to take a bit of the bitterness from his voice.
He would then turn to watch Lavender, an eye brow quirked. He wouldn't question anything, but would just give her a sympathetic smile. Taking a step away from Tyler and her dog, he made his way over to the vending machine and pulled out a crumpled bill.
"So... What are you girls doing wandering the halls?" He asked, more of curiosity then anything.

Re: [OOC] Double Gender Jeopardy
PLEASE. Just take your time when writing your posts. Anything besides just going around flirting and talking about how great somebody's breasts are or not. You could feature some of their thoughts, bits of their past, and how being a Flicker affected them then, and how it does in the present day at the island high school. You could write transformation sequences more majorly: have more NPC's in the area maybe, or put obstacles in the characters way as they're in the middle of the changing process, trying dearly not to get caught, and creating some actual conflict with a couple of them them having the ability to change into another gender. This can apply to all Types, because their transformations are still in public, whether they be random, activated by a certain thing or event, or willed: You MUST find a place to wait it out.
To a careful degree, you can even describe the changes that occur when they change, rather than "Poof!, I'm a chick/dude! :D"
(Ex. As he ran through the hallway, his could feel his normally rough skin turning soft and smooth, the area between his legs, down by his thighs felt slightly emptier, a small, cold, yet soft feeling emerging. There was a growing feeling in his chest, at first a a burning sensation as if he'd exercised too much, before gaining a tight feeling, as something inside began to push outwards. His short hair was quickly driving down into locks of long, silky gold as he finally dashed into the girls' bathroom, frantically locking the door as he awaited the final changes into a 'she.')
Also, take the time to actually develop characters and their relationships with the others. Don't just try to start romance right away, or it's pretty much over, no cool story at all.
PLEASE. This is for the sake of the RP and its' plot.

And he was trying to be nice to her. Plus, when she first met him, she just jumped to conclusions and started getting hostile.

For those of you that put the image for your Zoan forms, you don't get that power yet: you have to start out with the 'Companion ability.' you gain the extra form later.

I'll start off.

Can you keep up the 200 words minimum for posts? and with some decent spelling?
