"What do you mean you don't know?"

Jordan winced, and glanced up from the computer. Even upstairs, three rooms away, his sister's voice still carried. It had cracked in her anxiety, reaching that unholy pitched usually reserved for calling dogs. Any other day, Jordan might have poked his head out of his room, and roared up the stairs for her to shut up, but, well, this wasn't any other day.

"What the hell is going on?"

There again. It was like having Stuart Little shoved in your ear. Jordan swallowed his grumbling, swallowed over a huge lump in his throat.

Every radio station, every single television channel -- even the kiddy ones -- had been taken over, replaced with the same 'broadcast' set to loop. A half-dozen robed figures stood against a dark stone wall, the tallest of which was closest to the camera.

In the dim lighting, his only distinguishable feature was a rather scraggly, greasy-looking goatee. His voice was sharp and full of disdain as he introduced himself as Thaddeus Farcry. He seemed to take himself very, very seriously as he outlined how pitiful the human race was, how futile their efforts were to resist the 'revolution' and how in reality, they should all be thanking him.

"So long have we hidden ourselves from you!" Farcry spread his arms wide, so wide that they went off the frame of the hastily-postioned camera. "But the time has come! Your nightmares will come to life, your world will shatter! Those faithful will be rewarded, those who struggle will -- "

They thought they were wizards. That was the weirdest part. They thought they had magic. Well, whatever they had, Jordan was just impressed that they had managed to cut off and hack into every major communication system in the country.

Jordan and Sylvia had been alone on a lazy Saterday when the broadcast first sizzled through their recording of Lost. After flipping through every channel, puzzled, Jordan had gone for his laptop and Sylvia for her phone.

While Sylvia screeched and bawled at her contacts, demanding answers, Jordan continued to scroll through facebook updates. If it was magic, or if it was a hoax, something very large and very dangerous was happening. There were enough sirens coming from downtown to make that real, at least.

"Dislike." Jordan muttered. He closed his laptop with a snap, and slipped off the bed.

Welcome to Cedar Springs, Washington.

Aside from a few car museums, a fledgling furnature factory, and a mysterious research facility known as the Conklin Center, the only actually noteworthy thing this city has been a part of is the systematic takeover of the human race.

The majority of the paranormal community has been biding their time, waiting for just the right moment to attack. They grew tired of hiding their powers, hiding them from the rest of the general population. With an oddly shaped man named Thaddeus Farcry spearheading the revolution, it looks like the entire world is in for some serious .. er .. readjustment.

What side will you be on?

Wizards: You used to be second string on the high school football team. You used to take orders from an incompetent boss all day. None of it matters, now. You have shed your foolish human name -- (names like 'Carol' 'Aaron' or 'Nate') -- and finally have the freedom to reveal who you truly are. To Humans, your real name may seem ridiculous, or far-fetched ("Thaddeus Far-what now?") but they will soon see the glaring error of their ways. You and other long-suffering sorcerers can perform some degree of elemental manipulation. This includes fireballs, bolts of electricity, gusts of wind, etc.
(1) Shahrazad Motallebzadeh (Hannah Motalle)
(2) Charmena Harrow (Nicole Trawley)

Humans: Well hey! Looks like all your detailed zombie-escape plans are going to come in handy. Load up on chainsaws, bullets, and pitchforks because it's time to fight back! As a human, you have access to weapons -- (within reason of course, no one is going to suddenly stumble into a cache of military-grade firepower) -- and a sense of dignity. What sort of idiots are they, strutting around in a pointy hat, and robes?
(1)Jordan Renar
(2)Sylvia Renar
(3)Logan Kikkert
(4)Nate Perrine
(5)Dawn Keating

Mages: (Advanced Wizards, part of that initial group seen in the broadcast). Lead by Thaddeus Farcry, your fearless leader, you and the rest of your higher-up associates have worked long and hard to overthrow the bounds of 'normalcy'. Your name would also be considered 'ridiculous' in the Former Society. Your abilities are above elemental manipulation, straying into telekinesis, and a hypnotic form of mind control.
*(Please note, I will be very selective about accepting profiles if you chose this role.)
(1) Thaddeus Farcry:

Scientist: (Advanced Humans, working out of the Conklin Center). Oh no. It happened. All your hard work and research on something managed to tip off the paranormal community, and they decided to make their move. Luckily, your experiments are decently far along. Scientists have access to the technology that can 'undo' magic, or at least temporarily disarm a Wizard from causing mayhem. Are you our only hope?
