Ok this is a super hero RP, one I have been dying to do. The state of the world has America in the near future, it is a dark polluted earth struggling with over population and various police states have showed up. I am leaving the details out to allow for origionality in you the Players, I will Gm when requested, and act as the police man.,

No ooc in the IC thread.

As for your hero. You may be technology based, a modified human, it is the future after all. Or biologically based. Another thing is for the "normal super heros" No body knows how these few people are being given these powers. A hero is one in a million. You may have extream powers, but do not be afraid to have weaknesses and flaws.

Additional rules. Ok me and the wisemen...and woman(Thank you em) have consulted and come up with a few little rules to help make this game more Epic, and enriching. First know that this is a work of fiction and we aims to keep it fiction. Realism is not necessary. We know people would not wake up with super powers and start a war. BUT logic should apply, and that is what we aim to do. What makes games fun? The rules!

Ok we have decided, and will abide by these rules as best we can. We are adding fatigue to the RP.

1. Fatigue: After a period of time of using your power in battle, you will get tired. If you do not rest IE icly go to sleep or eat something you will remain tired. This will make you easy prey to be captured, of possibly killed. It forces you to relay on your buddys. If somebody is not at some points getting tired( you can use your powers several times(IE do not use on stupid shit like..deflecting a pointless attack or invasion of your space or to look cool. After a time of playing with us....for a while use them with out getting tired. An inactive power, like an empath's empathic ability to absorb emotions will be given lee way.) we will silde a GM to say randomly "you are getting tired...it is harder to focus your power." We will be fair, as small displays will not fatigue you much, but a very large display of your power will. Many of you have been being good about the fatigue, those who don't understand this roll with it too.

2. Character Deaths: Don't killany body unless they give you permission

3. combat: some pariah's can PWN others, Sasha can PWN all of us, very easily infact, she won't but she can. My character would get owned by a psychic. which brings me to the next one

4. Classifications. a total steal on X-men but it works! Icly the government only knows this classification system, but us rogue pariahs will know it later on probably.

Class one: These Pariahs are excellent at changing their molecular structurs. Shapeshifters, Healer types and abilities to absorb miniral compisition, (IE touching wood and your body becomes wood, or the same with concrete) are excellent examples. Can trumph level 3's easily. Weak against level fours usually. (an Example of a class one is Atrophy.)

Class two: These are telepaths, empaths, and telekinetics. Strong class four Pariahs. Weak against Class threes.

Class threes: These Pariah's are good at manupilating various types of energy. Usually very strong offensivly, but low in defense. Think the big guns. Good again class threes, weak against class ones(usually, things can change depending on the Pariah) good examples of class threes are Xaphon, Leo, Jinx, and Melissa.

Class Fours: They are utterly suprime in the physicle sense. Hard to kill, and near unstoppable on open ground. Strong against class ones, weak against class twos(their minds can be hurt just like everybody elses)

Class five: Class fives are usually Pariah;'s of near god like ability. They usually are savant like how ever due to their power being more of a condition. Fine examples of a class five areSasha(If you wish to be a level five please ask first, we have a limited number of spots avaliable)

Class six: Class sixs are not true Pariahs, but rather humans that have been scientifically experimented on. They usually have several abilities, and few weaknesses, but are generally specialised, so this limits their flexability. Sheridan and Meat are examples of class six Pariahs.

Power:Sol's power is simple yet very broad. He has almost limitless strength. This strength has given him various purks in his agility, maintaining control over this gift will come to him in time and in experience. He does not know it but his skin, hair and bones are virtually indestructable, allowing him to sustain injuries and often not take a scratch(Do not worrie, other heros will be able to harm him with their esoteric and powerful abilities) However, He needs to breath, he will drown as normal, and will die of thurst and starvation. He heals and ages normally.
Bio: Solomon is young man trying to find his path in a world that is slowly being consumed by darkness. His power manifested during his pre purberty years, a fact he has managed to keep a seceret, and maintainsome control over. Always a realist and a cynic Sol avoids flaunting his gift unless provoked.

Power: Melissa has a very odd power that has just started to manifest. She has the unique ability to control Radiation, and bend it to her will. She has little control over this ability. As she masters it she will be able to control the very light around her. Early stages she can create explosions. In this uncontrolled state it makes her espechally dangerious and noticable, as she can accidentally give cancer, and destroy the cell structer of those around her. She can also managed to heal with it. Offensivly she can create streams of Microwave radiation and superheat people and objects. Gamma Radiation is even more potent. She can clear the rads from an area or people. A draw back of this power is using it fatigues her greatly. Physically she is as strong as a girl her age, and is quite human.
Bio: Melissa is a pretty young girl eeking out a living in longisland and planning to attend school. The news is filled with reports of freak accidents, some few odd people developing strange and esoteric gifts. She is terrified when she learns of her own power. Good natured and even tempered Melissa's terror is eventually releived when she begans attempting to master control over it, and eventually learns what her particularly dangerious power is.

You know it is approved girl.

Name: Callie "Kali" Brenann
Alias: Atrophy
Age: 22
Sex: Female
Height: 5'3"
Weight: 125 lbs
Hair color: Dark Brown
Eye color: midnight purple
Skin Color: Pale Olive
Location: New York
Occupation: Manager of an independent Coffee/Music House Called "The Green Man"
Sexual orientation: Asexual (has better things to think about at the moment)
Blood type: AB
Power:
Much like her name states, Atrophy has the power to decompose organic material upon contact i.e. flesh, bone, hair, plant matter, etc. At first it appears as if the skin of her victim has suddenly turned black. The person would feel a sharp pain for only a few seconds then nothing at all. The decay then begins to spread outward from the point of contact in a relatively slow, but steady motion, to other parts of the body for however long she has her hands on them.
At first she couldn't control her powers completely and they would remain dormant unless she was under extreme emotional stress. Thankfully she has taught herself how to gain control over her powers since they first became manifest and can now consciously decide when to activate them.
She must maintain skin to skin contact for her mutation to affect them. Also the rotting smell of the flesh as it decays makes her physically ill.
Bio:
Appearance:
She's a very awkward looking girl, bespectacled and grungy in her clothing style. She usually is never found without her favorite camoflauge jacket along with whatever she's thrown on that day, claiming that it "holds stuff better than a purse".Will drink if she can get her hands on alcohol.
History:
(the much abridged version)
Callie was born in a VERY small isolated town in ireland. She had a somewhat normal life until her power manifested at the age of fourteen when some of the boys in the village attempted to sexually assault her. Needless to say the result wasn't pretty- one of the assailant's hands rotted off completely (the mayor's son to be exact).
After that incident the villagers rejected her till she could no longer take any more. Callie left Inis Beag desperately wanting a new start on life. Somewhere that she wouldn't be known as the "devil's child". She traveled around Ireland doing odd jobs for a time, and eventually scrounged enough money to buy a ticket to New York when she was eighteen,and that's where she's been ever since. The so called "land of opportunity" was a lie, as America quickly became worse off than the rest of the world.
She is a very intellectual and resourceful person, and is never one to put her personal feelings into decisions she makes. Callie never had a formal education beyond the basics of grade school, but she does the best to educate herself, often seeking the advice of wiser individuals when she can't figure out something on her own.

Name: Sasha Prentis
Nickname: Callie refers to her affectionately as "Snow White"
Age: 27, though in dreams she appears as a child.
Sex: female
Height: 5'1"
Weight: 90 lbs
Hair color: Black in both the real and the dreaming
Eye color: Glaucous blue in the real world from lack of light exposure, but a soft brown in the dreaming
Skin color: Pale white
Location:Her body currently resides in Callie's spacious bedroom closet, on a mattress, while her consciousness walks in the dreaming.
Occupation: none.
Sexual orientation: Pansexual
Blood type: unknown
Power:
Sasha Prentis is a Dream walker and manipulator. She not only controls the dreaming along with the dreamers that inhabit it, but also lives and thrives on the plane of dreams and can travel from dream to dream and enter into the very minds of the unsuspecting sleeper.
Even though she is comatose she is still physically aware of her surroundings and can listen in on conversations that are being held near her, and if need be, communicate telepathically with them.
Bio:
Appearence:
Sasha was both gifted and cursed with such immense psychic abilities that she was forced to recede into her own mind after an unfortunate accident that left her family dead. Sasha now lives in a permanent comatic state, akin to a type of Stasis in order to protect those around her from her powers.
Her outward appearance is that of a petite, beautiful woman somewhere in her late twenties or early thirties, deep asleep, lain out on a manky old twin mattress in a closet, though her Dream Self hasn't aged a day from when she first went into the coma at the age of 12.
[u]History:/u]
Only Sasha knows the full story, and at the moment she doesn't like to bring it up.
She was placed in Callie's care about a year back by another tenant of her apartment building before he passed away. He said that he had no one else to turn too, that Sasha was his neice, and only living relative and before he left he wanted to make sure she was well taken care of. He said she was "special" and he couldn't just trust anyone.
Callie wound up reluctantly agreeing, and making a place for her in the closet that she never uses.
The two have become quite close over the time they've been together, and even though Callie is younger than her, Sasha thinks of her as the big sister she never had, and she finds Callie in her dreams each night to pester her.

Name:Leo
Alias:"Vampire"
Age:20
Sex:male
Height:6'
Weight:180 (medium build)
Hair color:black with red tips
Eye color:emerald green
Skin color: medium tanned
Appearance:Leo usually stands with his hands in his pockets with his long flowing black coat's collar flipped up looking like a pair of batwings on the side of his head. His long raven hair hangs in his face a majority of the time with the red tips starting at his nose and ending at his chin. His coat coat is buttoned down and covers Leo from neck down indluding his feet, save for when it's blown open when he runs a pair of black slacks and biker boots is revealed.
Location:South US)
Occupation:none
Sexual orientation:Straight
Blood type:rare
Power:pyschic energy manipulation (basically he's able to draw on energy usually negative energy from his enemy and re work it and send it back at them as an energy blast, wave, or form it into a weapon.)
Bio:Born in poverty Leo was always able to draw energy from things especially negative energy but some how he was able to use this energy for good. When Leo was 18 he volunteered for scientific expirementation believing it would benifit his family financially. Little did he know he would be a test subject for a private company looking to create a breed of super soldier because of the rampant chaos which has taken over the world. This company also has ties to least suspected of all the Catholic Church. After a year of what seemed like torture, Leo escaped from the scientists and the church. While in captivity he learned how to truly focus his power. However, this gift comes with it's adverse side effects especially so with the negative energy, it's a constant struggle with such hate flowing through him which complicates most of his relationships. While Leo has has always had a difficult time with women, inspite of being what most would call attractive, it's of little use to him. However, Leo is resiliant in pursuing them even if they relentlessly confound him. Finally, Leo's biggest burdon is his code of morals which he stands by: Defending the helpless, The widow and orphan, the impoverished. In this he does not let hate rule him but, it comes close. Drinking helps.
(During the time Leo was confined and being expiremented on one of the side effects of the tests is that he's been given the ability to fly for limited spurts of let's say a mile? Is this admissable?)

Both approved.

Sweet!
This whole thing looks to be exciting!

Hey I was wondering how will those people from different locations ever meet or interact?
