lost.

Myths, legends, and fables:
No matter what your personal life, we all have the same story. "We" are a people separate from the human race. Living among them? Yes. Hiding in their numbers? Yes. Born from their bodies? Yes. The same? No. Our kind have inhabited this earth much longer then they have. Before they came into existence, we roamed freely. In whatever form we chose. One with nature. One with each other. Our ancestors were peaceful, and intelligent. They watched as the human race came into being, guided them into intelligence, gave them knowledge.

But with knowledge comes power.

For what our ancestors failed to understand is that this new species was to be our replacement. They'd been placed on earth to dominate. To rule. We stayed hidden from the humans, watching them grow and waiting until the day we thought they were great enough in number and smart enough to function. To us, we had all the time in the world.

When the humans were finally ready and functioning, we emerged. Bringing ourselves down into their cities and allowing them to know every secret of our being. Humans, though, were strange. Unlike our ancestors, they had a tendency to push away anything that is different. They were scared. It was is a lesson our elders had to learn the hard way:
Humans are afraid of what they cannot understand.

So we were seen as a threat.

And killed.

These creatures whom we'd trained, protected, and watched saw us now as stronger then them in unexplainable ways. So we were deemed dangerous. Demons, dragons, monsters, and ghosts. These are only some of the hideous stories they created about our kind. We were the things that went bump in the night. It wasn't long until we were all killed. Hunted down one by one so that human children could sleep soundly on their pillows, while ours lay awake wondering if they'd wake to see tomorrow.

But like in all tragic stories, there is hope.

And ours rested within our Queen at the time. In her belly grew the child that would save us from extinction. You see, each of us is different yet the same and our ancestors were no exception to this. Each had an amazing gift called a grace. Names are given to those who have common talents such as Readers, who can read minds, or Shifters, who can change forms. Those who have "special" graces though, are called Extras. This particular unborn Extra was not going to have a gift, but give a gift. Though that's skipping ahead in our story.

The Grace King, frightened for his people's future, offered a reward for the first Prophet who could give him a prediction. Many tried. Many failed. More and more of the graced were killed. When finally a prophecy came forth, it was not from a wise elder as the King had expected, but a young boy Prophet. Barely thirteen. The boy told the King of his dream. In it, he'd seen a seed of hope, lying within their Queen.

It was obvious what the prophecy called for. So the Grace King hid his Queen well and went to his grave without telling a single soul where.
The child was born and raised in hiding. By the time the young girl had grown to be twelve, our race was completely diminished. Not a single trace left. When she was seventeen, the last of the Graced let her child free from their cave prison with her dying words: "Go forth Lady Hope and mend that which is broken."

Suddenly alone, young Hope was thrown into the human world to find it a cruel, unforgiving place. They shunned anything alien and killed their own kind over land and gold.

She knew what she had to do. The gift she gave the humans was her grace. Hope did what no other of her race had done before and with each human she touched, placed a tiny little millionth of her grace within their soul. Nothing big enough to change them. They did not suddenly become powerful. No. Their blood and genes were simply altered the slightest bit. With every person she touched, her life faded slowly and by the time she'd changed her last life, her race was nothing but a time in history known as the Dark Ages and the humans were well on their way to the discovery of things such as America and a round earth.

You may be wondering what happened when Hope gave away her grace. Why did she do it? What effect other then a slight, unnoticeable alteration did it have on the humans?

The answer to that question is this: The blood of each person Hope touched was changed. The smallest amount of magic now ran through them, and while it was not enough to create immediate effects, with each generation the magic was passed on to, it grew stronger. As population grew rapidly, these bloodlines were rare, but still important. Around the time the atom bomb was first used, this magic started to change select humans. The descendants of those Hope had changed. The graces were small at first, but with each generation they grew in power and number.

Now, it is 2012 and a rare amount of people are gifted. Our people are called the Graced, and this young generation are the first to have only grace-blood running through their veins since the death of our people. These gracelings are lost and young. They think they're human. Their gifts are just beginning to show. And they need a little guidance. This, my friends, is where we begin.

Plot line:
No matter your personal history, we are all the same. We all have a grace, and a bloody past. And a responsibility. A responsibility not to let our bloodline die off once more. To keep our gifts hidden as best we can and to seek the help of others like us. So whether you're main concerns are your test tomorrow, how to separate your friends evenly over the two-day weekend, or where you'll get your next meal.
We all have these common goals. We're all lost. And we all need to be found again.

The story is placed in modern day Myrtle Beach. Now if you've been there or live there, I apologize if I make a mistake with this setting. I've never been there, but I wanted a beach city for our setting so Myrtle Beach it is. It's in the U.S in South Carolina. If you would like to see more on it, go to places. I'll have pictures up there as well as a little summary of the city. Basically, you are a modern-day teenager. Myrtle Beach may not have been your initial plan for your life, but somehow it calls to you. Either you've lived there your entire life and can't find a reason to leave or you've moved there sometime within your life. It's a beautiful place and a popular visitor spot. Your parents are both completely human, and while your life may seem like that of a human on the outside, on the inside, you're not so sure. Something traumatic happened to you in your youth, and whether every single day has been a struggle for you, or it was the only horrible thing you've ever experienced, ever since that event you've been different. You look at your parents and wonder if they are really your parents. For you are graced and you have a power you do not understand. Ever since that horrible day, you begin to feel lost and it becomes harder and harder to hide your grace.

During this roleplay, the school year has just ended and you are free to enjoy the warm days of summertime however you wish. As usual, parties are planned right away. Highshcool parties to celebrate everything from graduation to a cats birthday. Teenagers will find any reason to party. Though you hear about them, and possibly attend one or two, they're nothing compared to the excitement you feel about one in particular. Everyone has been whispering about it for months. Nobody knows where it is, who's throwing it, or when it will take place. The only information on it is that it's supposed to be the party of the summer and only select people are invited. Cool kids pretend they know all about it, nerds act like they're too sophisticated to go to such an event, but secretly everyone wants to go. And no one knows anything other then it's name. The Lost & Found. It's a weird name, but it's secrecy make it thrilling. This party is where your life begins to slowly unravel and you realize that, not only is it hard to hide your gifts, but you're in grave danger.

Note: Realize that this plot is loose. There is no set pattern of events. It's just going to go where it goes, if you know what I mean. Though, basically you're character is a Graced teenager living in Myrtle Beach and they're in danger. It's hard for them to hide their graces, and the government has heard of several supernatural instances. Now they want the teenagers and they'll get them no matter what they have to go through. Like I said, loose and open for plenty of plot development. Let me know if you have ideas. A roleplay is only fun as long as it's interesting and the more we develop and complicate this plot, the better and longer we'll be able to last(:

Things to note about the Graced:

They can have up to three graces. The less graces they have, the more powerful it is.
They're very hard to kill. They have extremely tough skin and heal very fast.
Graced don't cry. They still feel sadness like everyone else, but no physical tears come up.
Their eyes are unusually bright. Normal blue eyes become aqua and startling. They can also take on unusual colors such as gold, silver, and violet. Just not red.
A Graced can tell when another Grace is near. They may not be able to pinpoint who it is or what they're actually sensing, but they can feel it. It's like a tingle in their fingers and temples.
All Graces show themselves after traumatic events. Usually in their younger years, but it could happen later too.
Though, they are part of the Graced, their gifts are hard to control. They are young and haven't had much experience with them so the grace sort of does what it wants. It'll lash out randomly, showing a mind of it's own. The young teenagers are often afraid of their power and need coaching.
Some graces have names. Common things like reading minds are called Readers and powerful ones also have names too, like being able to see the future makes you a Prophet. It is possible to have more then one name. If you would like your character to have a name to their power, it's a pretty simple concept. Go ahead. If not, they're called Extras.

Toggle Rules

1. Proper grammar and spelling. I understand typos, and if you actually don't know how to spell an advanced word I make these mistakes too, but I don't want misspelled words every other sentence. If you can't spell- get a dictionary.
2. Make your character detailed. I want to see length and effort. Make him/her unique and special. You are 100x more likely to be accepted if your character is interesting. When I read their sheet, I should feel like I know your character and I'm intrigued. Also, if you want a tip for being accepted- Make it pretty (; PM me if you have any questions on coding. I don't know it all, but I know enough.
3. Stick to the plot please. No creating your own fantasies and throwing random drama about. It confuses members. If you want to make major drama, PM me first. If you want your character to have a dramatic love-entanglement make sure the other person is okay with it. If you wish to add small, personal drama to your character, like a long-lost-family-member, be my guest(:
4. This will be literate. I'm not expecting you to write a book, but for every single post I want a clear, precise understanding of every single thing going on. I want to know and feel every emotion, every sight, taste, sound. Anything. Also, please don't have your post be nothing but summaries of other players actions with one little something from your character at the end. People react to things. Show me that. I'm not putting a limit on post-size, but I will say that I want to see quality and your character sheet does reflect on that. Also, I know I say detail, but as for sex- you can make out until the clothes come off. Then its *Fades to black* or something like that. Swearing I don't mind. I use it frequently myself as long as it's not every other sentence.
5. You may either OOC or PM me to reserve a slot. If you'd rather just submit a character, that's fine too but you cannot submit characters for any reserved/taken slots. If you REALLY want a reserved slot, wait. Reservations last 48 hours. After that, I PM you- you have 24 hours to respond. If you do, I can extend your reservation another 48 hours. If not, your spot will be opened. Please try to get characters in as fast as possible. I wont wait forever.
6. If I ask you to change something, or give you tips on your character sheet it's not because I hate you or I don't like your character. It's because I'm a perfectionist. Please don't complain or say I hate you. I love everyone who joins my roleplays :D If you're not accepted, I am very sorry. I'm sure you're wonderful, but just not for my plot.
7. You have to read everything. How can you understand your role if you haven't read it? O.o Please don't skip any reading and if I have left something out or you have questions, don't be afraid to tell me. No question is a stupid one and I wont be mad if you correct me (:
8. You must be able to post a min. of three times a week. I think that's pretty generous. I have my rough times posting too. If I'm gone for a little while, I'll ALWAYS let you know. Please bear with me while I'm gone and don't just disappear. Also, don't get two posts in and leave. If you're taking too long in between posts, I'll PM you. If you don't speed up, I'll creatively kill of your character and open your slot to anyone else. Finally, please always tell me when you're going away. I'll understand. Promise(;
9. Incase you were wondering. Yes- it is possible to become a Co-Owner, but you must be devoted to the roleplay and you must be capable of a quality post, and you must have ideas. I am always open to new plot ideas. If you have one, don't be afraid to suggest it to me.
10. Have fun and grow as writers.
11. Write your favorite food in quotes at the bottom of your character sheet.

Koraline's gaze shifted into the direction of Zasha, who was rambling on about something or another. Looking at the others, she wrinkled her nose as she only caught the German line. He started off saying he had an idea, but quickly shifted it back to English. As the man went on, Koraline listened curiously; although, her gaze kept shifting to the outside and the walls of the cave. The crashing sound of the waves filling her mind. "X-men, I wish. Maybe this is just a game," shrugging, she wished it was like a game. That way she wouldn't have to take things as seriously. Watching as another girl pipped in, she looked deep in thought. Almost a little nervous, before she started to speak.

"I... I can ship shape. I can also mold rock like it's clay."

What the....? Staring at them both, she realized that they might have lost their minds. If they -could- do what they said, why would they just announce it in group of strangers? Somethings had to stay personal of course. Not like she could chastise, there were multiple times Koraline wished to show others her power, or just hurt them because they angered her so much. Looking around, she sighed, would it really come to this?

What do I have to lose? She questioned sighing. "Well, I....," she hesitated for a moment, looking at the rocks, "can freeze things," she left out the small detail of controlling shadows too. But that was a power she loathed. "Here," picking up a medium sized rock, maybe a little bigger than her hand, she looked at it and ice formed on it. Small spikes sticking up from it as she stared at it expressionlessly. Frost forming on the nearby rocks as her fingernails slowly turned blue. This is what I get for show boating, she thought wincing.

(okay, quick question, is this RP dead?)

Surprise was written all over Mae's face as the people around her spoke. Cobalt was safely laying beside her once more and both of them had calmed until a guy had started to speak. He was saying things about strange powers and why they were brought there. The beat of Mae's heart quickened as she tried to look unfazed by what he was saying. Did he know what she could do? She bit her lip and patted Cobalt's head to distract herself from the possibility of what this boy could know.

Her mouth almost fell open when he announced he had heightened senses. When he had finished speaking another girl proclaimed she could mold things like clay. Then came Kora's voice announced she could freeze things. Mae couldn't believe what she was hearing, which was a first for her because she had great hearing and never misheard things people were saying. These people had abilities like she did. At least that is what it sounded like. They could be lying.

For a few seconds she fought with herself about whether she should tell them what she could do or not. If they were lying about what they could do she could be in a lot of trouble, but if they were telling the truth....

"I- um- I can read people's memories when I'm singing. I can also perceive the objects around me if there is music around...." she finally announced with a slight tremble in her voice. She was scared that her telling them this could get her into trouble, but she almost hadn't been able to control the words coming out of her mouth. It was almost impossible for Mae to fathom the existence of people like her, and yet, here they were lost in some beach cave with her. She felt a strange light feeling in her chest at the thought as she couldn't help the small half smile pulling at the corner of one of her lips.

Re: [OOC] Lost & Found

Hey everyone. I just wanted to ask if you could all leave Cobalt under my control. He has a specific personality and when all of us are trying to control him it doesn't stay consistent. Thanks. (: I don't mean to be rude....I just want him to be consistent and I need to be the one controlling him because he is Mae's way of getting around if she isn't using her grace.
