Paranormal: A Mind-Bending Story

The Story
Psionics...The ability to influence the world around you with only the power of your mind. Sounds good, doesn't it? It's very potent stuff, from reading minds to moving objects. However, it's pretty scary. Those with power will often torment those without. However, when the shoe is on the other foot, things reverse. When the powerless outnumber the powerful, the powerful becomes the powerless.

The time is modern day. Psionics are a well-kept government secret, a recent mutation in humankind...In this generation. The few that have been born with psionic powers are realizing their potential, and as such, are discriminated against. Thusly, they must keep their powers secret, or go into hiding...

The US government has created a branch, the P.R.R.B (Psionic Research and Response Bureau), to learn about and deal with the newly found psychics. Their agents infiltrate society and probe around for the anomalies. Only the highest powers in the federal government, and members of the branch itself, know of the psychics' existence.

Even beyond the threat of discrimination and capture, more darkness lurks, lying in wait for our young, gifted boys and girls. Monstrous, mysterious figures threaten human society without them even knowing it. Soon, the world will fall upon its knees and depend on The Gifted.

So, will you use your gifts to help humanity and win their acceptance? Or will you use it to lash out against those who hated and feared you? The choice is yours.


So, where do you fit in all of this? Well, you're a gifted high school student at Thistlehood Creek High, Anytown, USA. Do you already know of your powers? Or are they lying in wait, ready to reveal themselves to you when you are prepared? Well, that's up to you. Before we embark on this roleplaying adventure, let's take a look at some powers, shall we?

Telepathy : The ability to read minds at its most basic. Early on, without training, the telepath will be bombarded constantly by the thoughts of those around him. Later on, though, a seasoned telepath can turn his power on and off, as well as focus it onto a single person.

Telepathy can also be used for mental attacks, eg. Mind Control. Another way of using telepathy is creating illusions that only the target can see, whether they be ghosts from their past, or creations from the telepath's mind.

Far Sight : The ability to see beyond one's self. Allows you to view distant locations with no vantage point (EG, inside the warehouse down the road while you're laying down in bed).

Hyperregeneration : The ability to quickly cause cell reproduction, allowing you to heal yourself and others.

Telekinesis : The powerful ability to project pure force or move objects with one's mind. A telekinetic, with training, can also levitate him or herself.

Pyrokinesis : The ability to excite molecules, causing them to combust and explode. Creates fires, explosions, extra.

Cyrokinesis : The ability to decelerate molecules, causing them to freeze and solidify. Your ice tree.

Hydrokinesis : The ability to control water.

Electrokinesis : The ability to control electricity, electrons, etc.

Photokinesis : The ability to control light and electromagnetic radiation.

Atmokinesis : Control over weather.

Geokinesis : Control over earth.

Name: Amy Lee Morgan

Picture/Appearance: Image

Age: 19

Power: Telepathy

Have You Discovered Your Power? : Yes. Amy discovered her powers at around sixteen years old when her parents took her to a psychiatrist after her comment about 'hearing voices' in her mind. The psychiatrist, unable to solve the problem, sent her to Thistlehood Creek where he believed there was a doctor present who could help. Being a teacher at Thistlehood Creek High, the new doctor realised the problem staight away but by then, Amy had learnt to control her ability to some extent so that she could only hear the most powerful, emotional thoughts.

Personality : Amy is bright and friendly with those she trusts, cold and distant to those she doesn't. Since discovering her powers, she had become a lot calmer than the way-ward child she used to be and generally takes everything in her stride. However, she will stck up for herself and her friends and once sufficiently angered, her temper an be ferocious.

Biography : Amy boards at Thistlehood Creek High as her parents have moved abroad to continue the travelling they started years ago now that Amy is old enough to cope by herself. The lecturer Dr Cameron James still keeps a close eye on her slowly developing skills, occasionally giving helpful advice on how to cope when needed.

So this is like the Psy-ops meets the X-men...

I like!

Name : Jason MacIndo
Picture/Appearance : Jason is relatively short, reaching about 5'6. He has brown hair, and blue eyes. He is of average weight.
Age : 16
Power : Photokinesis
Have You Discovered Your Power? : Kind of... Right now he just glows.
Personality : Jason is quieter than most, and does his best to stay out of the limelight.
Biography : Jason started glowing shortly after his 16th birthday. First a small difficult to discern glow (which made his parents terribly uncomfortable) then progressing till it was rather obvious. His parents took him to their pediatrician who was fortunately aware of Psionics, having graduated from Thistlehood Creek High himself. Jason was enrolled shortly thereafter, but has yet to learn who to control his power. If being the new kid itself didn't make him stand out, glowing eerily certainly didn't help. All Jason wants now is not to be the center of attention.

Name : Madison Green

Picture/Appearance : Image
*note: the picture is not mine*

Age : 17

Power : Telepathy

Have You Discovered Your Power? : yes, she first noticed it when she could hear her mother's thoughts while at a grocery store; she mentally heard her mother's grocery list. She was 5. After time she learned that she could control people's thoughts as well, such as convincing her mother to buy a toy she wanted.

Personality : She's a bit of an introvert. She's nice, but she mainly keeps to herself. Hates it when little kids or disabled people are picked on.

Biography : Born and raised in Seattle. She grew up aware of her powers and spent most of her time indoors because she was shunned by the other kids. She channeled all her frustrations and time into her art and music. Once high school rolled around, she was promptly enrolled into Thistlehood Creek High; the same school her older brother, who has telekenisis, was attending. Her story begins during her senior year of school.

((I hope you don't mind, but i will expand more on her past in the story))

Name : Andrew Davis

Picture/Appearance : Andrew stands at 6'2". He has straight brown hair that has been combed back. He has brown eyes but a strong jaw. He wears a pair of Khaki pants and a short sleeved polo shirt.

Age : 18

Power : Pyrokinesis

Have You Discovered Your Power? : NO

Personality : Andrew has kind of a fiery personality. Quick to anger, sort of. Most of the time Andrew remains level headed, he ignores people who try and get under his skin, but if they really try it is easy to push his buttons. His usual explosive anger gets people to leave him alone, but is in vast contradiction of how he normally is. On most days Andrew is calm and collected, answering to his elders with sir and miss, always wearing a smile, and being as friendly as he could possibly be.

Biography : Andrew leads the kind of life most people envy. His parents have a lot of money and he makes excellent grades in school. With the way things are going he is Harvard bound. Things weren't always like this, Andrew's parents abandoned him at the local orphanage leaving him to live the first eight years of his life practically alone. His current parents adopted him at the age of 8, being unable to have children of their own. Theres just something about Andrews life, leaving him wanting more.

K. Remember guys. Psionics are not accepted by society. One whiff of crazy powers and the P.R.R.B will be on your ass. Just try to keep that in mind.
And you guys are accepted. Here's mine. I'll go make the first post. =D But... Mind telling me which board to post in? >.> Sorry for being such a newb. =(
Name : Zane Firestone

Picture : Image

Age : 16

Power : Telekinesis

Have you discovered your powers yet? Yes; he's gifted with Telekineses as his Brother. As hew grew his Brother trained him how to utilize his skills. It actually happened when he was Seven years old and he was playing base ball with his brother. The bat had slipped from his Brothers hands and flung towards Zane. Before his Brother could react, Zane realized a telekinetic wave out and grabbed onto the bat with his mind. After that, His John(His Brother.) reveled to him that he also had this 'gift' and burden for that matter.

Personality :
A true philosopher at heart. He doesn't think like the typical teenage boy. Ever since his Brother being taken away, Zane has had a more. . . serious look on life. He believes deeply in reason. He thinks that everyone was put on this planet for a reason. It is, and all ways their destiny. Zane believes that his reason for life, and his 'gift' is to do what his Brother all ways dreamed of; stop the oppression of Psionics. And at that oppressions source; the P.R.R.B. And he will die to accomplish that. But, he is afraid that he can't accomplish this alone.

Zane doesn't give two shits about a social life(Or what anyone else thinks of him.) or academics. To him, they are nothing but distractions. When he's talking to someone he goes into rather long rants about his philosophical views.Another influence form his brother; he hates oppression all together. Racism, Ageism, Sexism. The whole package. If he sees anything of this sort he will get furious and do something about it. When it comes to hiding his powers. He hates it, but he does it. He hates he can't be himself in his own home, town, school. Or even family.

Biography : Zane and his family were nothing but the average Joe working class. Zane and his brother never connected really. Then, John(Brother.) was afraid that if his brother saw; he would be caught. John didn't know much, all he knew is if anyone found out it wouldn't end up well for him. He practiced his abilities in private. Then. . . Once this "Incident" happened they spent a lot of time together. John not only told him not to tell or show anyone this, and he also told him allot about. . . Well, life. Before John could never really connect with anyone. he felt awkward around other people that weren't like him. Zane and John bonded. Not only that, but Zane picked up on his views, thoughs, personality quirks. Zane is pretty much a mirror image of John now after idolizing him.

Then. . . Was the turning point in Zanes' life. John was caught using his powers. And was turned in. . . By his own parents. They were frittend of their son. They were to scared to even speak to him. The police were called. Some "Suits" showed up and hauled him away. All this did was want Zane to destroy this oppression even more to avenge his brother. And clarified one thing; Zane could not even trust. . . His own parents.
