Introduction
"Dragonflies are important predators that eat mosquitoes, and other small insects like flies, bees, ants, wasps, and very rarely butterflies."
- Wikipedia
“Where goes the line between man and monster, you ask? Well… that is a hard question to answer. It all depends on your own thoughts and feelings about the subject, does it not? After all, what we call ‘monsters’ is just a way we perceive a handful of people, no? It is nothing more than a term… right? I say, let me tell you a story, stranger. Oh, don’t worry. It’s a fun one! With tons of blood, gore and death… I can assure, you shall find it quite interesting. It is the story about you.”
It all started in the year of 1993, when the first child with 'extraordinary abilities' was born. To be more exact, he was a pyrokenetic, which was quickly discovered as he just a few hours after his birth had set a whole hospital on fire. Naturally, the government did not wish news about people with these sorts of abilities to leak out to the public, so they quickly made an agreement with the parents of the child. He was taken away to be raised in a 'safe' environment'. However, little did they know that many, many more children with this kind of 'special condition' were to follow. Some parents agreed on having their children taken away, some were taken by force. What matters is that the government took every child with special abilities into their custody, all this behind the backs of the ordinary American population. No, the whole world, to be more precise.
At a very young age these children were sent away to a secret training camp of the organization Dragonfly, some were still even infants at the point. Yes, for as long as you can remember Dragonfly has been your home, your everything. Not only did they teach you how to handle your abilities, not only did they train you to become an agent... but they are also your life, your family... don't you agree? You love them. Together with the other dragonflies you have had your fair share of hardships, but it is also here you experienced things such as love and friendship for the first time. Here you know you are safe and accepted for who you are. After all, your whole life you have been warned about the dangers of the world outside and how the people would treat you if they ever found out. So you stayed with the organization without question, you know you are a chess piece to be moved, a pawn in their game to make the world a better place. You are the 'hunting dog' if you so like and you know that what you do is for the best, that what you sacrifice will not be in vain. Dragonfly is and has always been your world.
Depending on your special ability and natural skills, you were trained in a certain area of expertise. Someone with the camouflaging ability, for example, would most likely focus on an area in the spying direction, while someone with the ability of pyrokenesis would be trained in a more offensive area. This is with the plan in mind that you will eventually be assigned to a team where your area of expertise is required. This manner of assigning Dragonfly teams drives from the mechanics of the SWAT system. Naturally you were also thought in ever subject a normal child would be educated in at a normal school.
On your fifteenth birthday there was a dragonfly tattooed onto your shoulder blade. This meant you had officially completed your training at the camp and you were finally ready to face the outside world. After graduating at the end of the year, that is. During the graduation ceremony you were told which team you would be assigned to and where in the world you would be stationed... and two months after that... well... that is where we are now.
The newly 'hatched' dragonflies are sent to whatever team where they are required, usually replacing a team member that has...previously perished. Thus, the teams consist of both experienced as well as inexperienced members. The disappearance of agents is not that unusual and considering the fact that they are in a dangers line of work consisting of espionage and assassination. At the same time these teams pose as families and alongside their secret agent life, live relatively normal life's. Just like normal humans they go to school and work for a living. They seem totally normal. At first glance... no one could never guess that you are in fact a deathly weapon, a danger beyond imagination... and it better remain a secret.
Although it might also be the end..."
The RP is centered around one of these 'pieced together families' and thus there are set basics for what role your character has in the family. However, to make it more interesting there is also a certain amount of human spots. Based on the given roles, you may flesh the characters out however you like. Do make sure they fit their role, though.

Re: Dragonfly: The Hunters
Anyway, latest on Monday I should be able to get my character's done. :3 Then we can start, I believe... and I should be able to be online more regularly, hopefully.
Re: Dragonfly: The Hunters
I hope you are all ready for some drama... I hope you are all ready for some gore... This roleplay can take us anywhere as long as we give it time >:]
Enjoy the Christmas holidays and stress out while you can ;)
Merry Christmas and a happy new year from here too :D
Re: Dragonfly: The Hunters

ANYWAY.
MERRY XMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
Nah. Hope I don't get too fat with so many things to eat...

Because she was going to finish her characters and we have some problems with people who doesn’t follow some rules, and she's the one talking with them. You people know who you are so behave and change the things that are breaking the rules, I have my eyes on your characters.
So right now I don't know how this will end. But hopefully we can begin sometime this week.
Thanks for informing us :D

Re: Dragonfly: The Hunters
I have pretty much finished my character. I might change a couple of things however, but they shouldn't have any effects on the character really. I'll tell if I make any major changes.
@Gladis/Lyysa- When are you thinking about starting this RP?
Re: Dragonfly: The Hunters
His power would be Molecular Manipulation, which allows the user to manipulate electricity on various scales, even to the molecular level. The technique can work with all possible ranges. As long as an object is a conductor of electricity, the technique can be passed through it, making indirect attacks possible.

When I talked to her, she described it as your first suggestion "Alex Hunter", so my guess is that's what she meant

Re: Dragonfly: The Hunters
As for how the characters live, well... all mutants of the 'Hunter' family live together in one big house. This is not their choice but what they were given when assigned to the 'Hunter' team. The house is big and fancy, somewhat like a small mansion, if you so like. Precisely this family is stationed in the town of Robertsford. :3
