Hey guys, I'm hoping this can be a pretty basic but fun roleplaying experience. I'm not going to ask you to be extremely formal or wordy. My only goal is for everyone to have fun. I would love to have about 5 or more people before I begin the story. It takes place in a realistic environment much like the world we all live in (besides the ability part, lol) so be sure and make your character accordingly. I'm looking forward to getting this rp on the road
Since the beginnings of mankind they have existed. Some have lived in secret...others have chosen to reveal themselves. Those who reveal themselves usually don't survive for long in this hostile world... Sometimes they will band together, finding comfort in the company of those like themselves.
This roleplay will be the meeting of these extraordinary humans. Their abilities range from extreme strength to flight and even to invincibility. But they all have one thing in common. They are special and they must stick together.We begin the adventure in an abandoned library in the United States that serves as a meeting place for those with abilities. Please fill our a character sheet and post it to this forum so I can approve of your character and ability.

A Few Simple Rules:
1. Make sure your powers are within reason (no God-modding).
2. Try to have posts of at least a paragraph.
3. If at all possible, don't pick the same powers as other players. Be original.
4. Your power should almost represent you...in a way. (Try not to worry about being the most powerful)
5. Don't kill off other characters without permission from them (or me).
6. Feel free to propell the story forward, just don't do anything too unbelievable or ridiculous. We want this rp to be somewhat realistic (besides the superpowers, lmao).
7. Cursing is okay, just don't do it obnoxiously.
8. It's okay to play multiple characters but make sure you make it clear which character you're posting for
(if I think of any others I will post them)
Here is my character sheet:
Name: James (Jimi) Severo
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Appearance: James is approximately five feet nine inches tall. He has shaved black hair and almond shaped brown eyes. He looks very Italian and has natural golden-tan coloured skin. Although he is slightly skinny he is also quite muscular and usually chooses to wear black wifebeaters with dark blue jeans. He has a small scar on his forehead from a childhood accident, and is showing signs of growing a small soul patch. James' dark eyes are always darting around and observing his surroundings.
Ability: {Energy Transfer}~ James can use energy transfer to do a few things. First, he can sap the strength from average humans permanently and make it his own by physical contact. If he holds on long enough it will be fatal to the person...probably between forty-five seconds and a minute. He can also "absorb" the abilities of others like himself that he makes contact with. This will leave them without their power for a short amount of time until they recover physically. Holding on to others with abilities for too long can also be fatal to them. Once he has absorbed the ability he has it permanently, unless he decides to convert it into a "boost". If the energy is converted he can touch another person and give them a "boost" which results in: A) Attaining a power if they do not already have one, or B) Adding some type of increase in a power that is already held by someone.
Attained Abilities: {Dream Walk}~ James attained this ability from his cousin in an accident while trying to figure out his power when he was younger. The accident resulted in the death of his cousin Augustus. With his power, James can consciously leave his body and explore the inner thoughts of others as if they where a physical reality. He can also choose to interact with that reality, which has a chance of psychologically affecting the person. He can even walk around the physical world while out of his body but is unseen to human eyes. The downside, however, is great. While dreamwalking James' body is totally prone and open to attacks. He can re-enter his body within about ten seconds of realizing something is happening to it. While using this ability Augustus can openly communicate with James and give him advice.
Short Bio: James was raised in a small town in New York by his mother and father. When he was fourteen years old he began to notice that he was different than everybody else, but could not tell why. It was not social, mental, emotional, or physical but the difference was definately noticeable to him. When he spoke with his nineteen year old cousin Augustus (who he was very close with) about this feeling Augustus told him that he was indeed different and that he himself had gone through the same thing. Augustus tried to help James figure out what his ability was but with no luck until about three months later. At this time Augustus was showing James his dreamwalk ability and left his body to explore James' mind in hope of finding a power. While Augustus was in James' head he told him to grab his body's wrist. As he did this he accidentally sapped all of Augustus' strength by holding on to long (since Augustus didn't know when to tell him to stop) and killed his body. Augustus' soul, however, was still very alive since he was seperated from his body, and now takes residence in James' mind. The accident was unexplained by police and James felt shunned by his family. This resulted in him running away from home and living in an apartment with his friend Sebastian. After a few days at the apartment, Sebastian told him about a meeting for people with abilities at a local abandoned library...
Personality: James is quiet and reserved when it comes to meeting new people but once he opens up he becomes very talkative and eccentric. In general he has a good heart and is extremely kind to those around him, treating his friends like members of his own family. He can find something that he likes in almost everyone. Ever since the accident with Augustus he has had an underlying sense of guilt that results in him sinking into melancholy on occasion, but usually he seems to be pretty happy. Although sometimes he acts dumb, or makes funny comments, he is actually very intelligent and has a way with writing his thoughts on paper. Before the accident he had a succesfull future ahead of him, but ever since it happened he feels like his days are numbered. To him, it feels like someone will eventually find out what really happened and come to get him. He doesn't fear death though...he expects it.
Other: ~Speaks English and broken Italian
~Is experienced in hand to hand combat due to boxing and karate
~Writes poetry
~Is plagued with terrible nightmares, so he rarely sleeps
~Always keeps a Saint Christopher necklace that was Augustus' in his pocket
