Introduction
Those people are idiots with their heads shoved in the sand because supers have always been around. Before they just lurked in shadows and did their business behind closed doors. Some choosing to use their powers for good, to save, help and champion people. But of course there were the rotten apples, those who used their powers for selfish, usually illegal activities.
Then October 7th 2006 happened. A boy, known online by the name FL!P, uploaded a video of himself flying on his Myspace page. Within two weeks the video was on every news station and an attached copy was in every person’s email. The secret of the supers was out and things would never be the same again, all because of one idiot show-off.
Once supers were able to use their powers in public, the villains had nothing holding them back.
Two thirds of New York’s China Town was destroyed in a particularly violent fight between a hero and a villain. A metal manipulator turned the Sydney Harbor Bridge into a getaway helicopter. The Great Wall of China was swallowed by an earth quake, accidentally caused by a super. Mount Kosciusko was taken over by a villain for their not-so-secret base. England’s Big Ben isn’t looking so big anymore after it was teleported to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean in a public protest.

Even once captured these villainous supers still pose a serious risk, every second day it seems as though a villain has escaped prison, or at least instigated a mass riot. So, eight years ago, they introduced Operation: Birdcage.
The most dangerous and deadly supers around the world who were deemed to have no chance at reform were given the designation: Hazardous. All persons designated hazardous were to be sent to the Birdcage to serve their numerous life sentences with no chance of release. The Birdcage is currently home to five such supers all kept in complete isolation from each other.
The Birdcage is a simply designed prison that makes use of its natural surroundings to keep its inmates imprisoned. Inspired by Russia’s historic use of Siberia, the prison is located in the most remote area of the artic Siberia. All residents within a 48 hour drive, were relocated. Meaning that, even if an inmate were able to escape the prison, they would never be able to escape the miles and miles of endless freezing forest that surrounds the Birdcage.
And in case they were considering taking the guards hostage, the entire compound is computerised and completely unmanned. At least that is until the day this RP beings. January 1st 2018, a supers’ fight unknowingly gets too close the hidden Birdcage and causes damage to the outside walls. The damage is severe enough to warrant moving the incarcerated villains.
Exactly one week later all the villains awaken to find themselves chained together, ankle to ankle like an old fashion chain gang, and inside an armoured van. A series of circumstances allow the villains to kill their guards and get away, however they are unable to escape their chains.
So now the five most dangerous supers are stuck in the middle of nowhere with no resources and are chained together for the foreseeable future. In order to escape they are going to have to work together, and avoid the Superhero seeking to recapture them.
Saviour is tough, no nonsense, and has put away enough villains to fill three separate maximum security prisons. They’d give an award for catching bad guys, if anyone knew her real name or how to reach her. Now, she’s out trying to recapture the inmates who escaped the Birdcage, quite a few of them she is responsible for putting away in the first place.
As you can see above there are only four roles that are open above. The little labels like 'The Crazy One' or 'The Loner', are like the roles of this RP, just so that we have a nice variance in characters. I do want to keep the RP smallish, but definitely let me know if you have a different role idea, I am possibly open to adding one or two more.
Whatever your character powers/abilities/expertise, the set up of the RP is that all the super villains are chained together. Ankle to ankle like an old fashioned chain gain. The point being that; No, they can't get out of the chains, or break them. At least, not for a little while.
Saviour, the superhero trying to recapture out villains. At the moment I have her down as NPC, seeming as she won't be in the RP all the time, she is more for adding tension when the RP needs it. If someone wants to pick up the hero role as a secondary character (again, she's not in it all the time) and make it their own let me know.
Now the important stuff; To reserve a character, leave in the OOC what role you want, what Face Claim you are going to be using (and a picture that you want me to crop and use on the front). As well as their power and super villain alias.

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 2 authors
The food would appear three times daily like clockwork, dropping from the ceiling in a tightly sealed paper box. Gross, dry food that didn’t require refrigeration of preparation. Food that sustained life, but could hardly be considered a luxury.
Now everything was dark, a rocking motion and jostling brought her back to the present. Misery’s vision was blurry and her extremities tingled. Where was she? What happened? She could hear metallic clinking and as her eyes sight sharpened up she could make out shapes from the light filtering in.
As her brain started engaging and her senses started coming back to her, she realised she was in the back of an armoured van, the walls being clearly reinforced as all outside sounds were dulled. Hence the jostling as the van drove over a presumably bumpy, rural road. She tried moving her hands, but they were attached to a heavy chain, the other end of which was tightened around the wrists of a small child. The other occupants of the van were equally chained up, and were either still out cold or drifting into consciousness like her.
There was a dulled thump, and Misery was thrown from the bench as the Van rocked violently before all the jostling and rocking stopped. She could hear people yelling outside the van, though the reinforced nature of the walls dulled the words. She frowned, still feeling blurry and a bit off. She tried to get up at head to the door at the back, but the chains pulled her back.
She jerked chain hard to pull the boy with her. “We need to get out of here.” Her voice was quiet and croaky, whatever shit they had gassed her with was clearly still in her system. But she was present enough to at least realise whatever was happening outside, this was her chance. She put her palms up to the door and blasted cold at it, causing frost to climb up the door and coat it. Super-freezing the metal, and hopefully making it brittle.
She kicked at the door with her feet. Still bare-foot and dressed in yellow overalls, as was the inmate uniform in the Birdcage. She rammed it with her shoulder and felt it give a little. “This is our chance.” She said with a hoarse voice, hoping that her fellow inmates had a way of getting out, or at least more core strength than her.
Lucky for her, she was able to stay on her feet. Her ever changing green eyes took in her soundings. She ended up staring at her chains. She wasn’t happy that she was attached to a young man. Her unhappiness grew when she saw he was attached to a child. To make it worst, the child was attached to a bald woman. Flame’s own hair was loose and out. She stayed stilled as she tried to listen to the yelling. Flame wasn’t sure if she couldn’t make the words out because she was in the vehicle or because she felt drugged. Her eyes went to Egg, the bald woman, as she went to the door. A small smile graced her lips. Where does she think she is going? Did she forget about the chains?
Despite wanting to make a joke at Egg’s expense, she stood fully to her height of 5’1”. Flame changed the woman’s nickname to Frosty when she saw her blast the door. She got as close to the door as she could while being chained. Once Frosty wasn’t touching the door, Flame took a slow and deep breath. When Frosty finished speaking, she blasted the door with blue flames. She closed her eyes for a second as the heat radiated off the door. It felt nice. She thought she heard the door crack or creak a bit. Flame was not sure. She was sure when her vision blurred. She had made the flames extra hot and it took a good chunk out of her. She wouldn’t be blasting anything else any time soon. The metal touching her skin felt hot, but she did not mind. She wondered if the man's chains got warm or even hot.
She yanked her chains hard, so she could walk closer to the door. Flame leaned forwarded to feel the heat fade quicker than it should have from the door. She frowned a bit and could imagine what the weather was like outside. May as well try my strength out. I have been just exercising since being locked up. "If you see guards, attack…unless you want to end up locked up again. Also, if everyone else doesn’t help with this door, we may as well take a seat," she said.
“Three…two…” she paused as she braced herself for what she was about to do, “One!” She flung herself forward to push door. Flame just hoped the others went to do the same. She didn’t really feel like getting jerked back, especially if the man next to her stayed still. Maybe she’d burn his face off if he decided to stay in his spot.

Re: Hazardous
Re: Hazardous
As for his abilities, I'm thinking cell manipulation. I'll explain the restrictions of his powers in his FC. Trust me, there will be many things he can do and many things that if he tries, he'll probably end up killing himself lmao. Alias... I'm not sure yet. Do you mind if I sit on it for a little bit? For now, I have the idea of the Good Doctor or something goofy like that lol. Lemme know what you think!
Re: Hazardous
You are all reserved! I can't want to see what characters you come up with :) There is a character skelly up the top, you don't have to use it thought if you don't want.
Re: Hazardous
EDIT: His alias will be Malice and his hex will be
Re: Hazardous
Can I please reserve "The Crazy One"?
I'll be using Lorde and my FC
Her power I think I'll make her power Precognition and her alias would be Psyche
Re: Hazardous
I haven't been on this site in over a year or two, but I would love to participate in this roleplay (it may take me a minute to warm up).
Can I please reserve "The Fallen Hero?"
The FC I will be using is Yara Shahidi.
Her power would be Power Mimicry (haha, let me see how I can make this work). The super-villain alias would be "Mimic."
