Introduction
Six seemingly normal kids go missing. But there aren't any police cars or anxious nights for parents, waiting for a good call. Instead there are gassed houses, a mind altering drug that forces the memories of someone to be forgotten, passed through the skin of one to another, passing it on, and soon it would be like that person never existed. Childless parents wondering why there's an extra bed, kids wondering why they're so lonely, wanting a brother or sister.
The six kids find themselves at the home of Grey Hurley, a modern day genius who has it made. His father is a former rockstar, now a TV executive, never interferes with his projects, and a loyal aid who would do anything for him. Grey found the super gene, and needed the only people he found to have it to do more research, so he did what every other genius spoiled guy would do. He kidnaps the special six and develops a drug that destroys the memories of super Gene hosts.
Guidelines
1. for the six kids they'll be from 15-19, and there doesn't have to be a strict rule on how many girls v. how many boys. three girls, three guys is fine, so is two girls, four guys and vice versa, just no five or six of one gender.
2. I need other characters also, like someone to play Grey, his aid, maybe his father. help around the house would be fine, plus Grey needs scientist, but I want the six spots for the six kids plus grey and his aid already filled first.
3. I thought of Grey being around 20-25, his aid more along 35-40, I will be flexible about this though if you decide to be either of those characters.
4. The super-powers should be more classic, you could pick from this, list, as long as the power isn't too crazy, up to two powers for each character.
5. cursing is fine, I really don't care about it at all, in the IC at least, it could just be part of the character, but in the OOC let's not be rude.
6. along with that I really don't care about romance either, go ahead, as long as it doesn't get too graphic, this means no cybering.
7. the character Skellie below goes in the description box, and please fill out the basic information above that in the character submission part.
8. If you're Grey's aid then you can decide his name
9. You will not immediately find out your power. give it some time
10. I was going to have it that by the end they find out they were experimented on as toddlers, then suppressed the memories, but I'll be flexible with that and we'll see how it ends
11. in the skellie where it says description, you can put either text, a picture, or both. I don't want any anime pictures, but if you really can't find a real picture, it's fine
12. I want Grey to be a sort of "everyone wants to be him" type of guy and he's not all whiny, and thinks his life is shit, he knows it's great and takes advantage of his good life. So he's not some angsty guy who thinks his life is horrible. But he doesn't know how to connect with people a bit awkward but doesn't show it.
13. Hometown should be in the US

Grey sat in his chair looking over paperwork. His eyes were heavy and bloodshot, but he looked over his notes. Everything went better than I thought it would he thought to himself. He'd been working the plan over for months, and when it was time to pull it off, it worked perfectly. One of Grey's scientists, a middle aged man, rushed into the lab, usually a place full of energy, now just empty, everyone resting after the previous night's duties. "Sir, the tranquilizers should be wearing off soon" the scientist said, Grey just nodded and smirked. It must burn him up to call someone so much younger than him sir, Grey waved away the man. The scientist rushed back out. Grey just sat in his chair, examining the door that just shut.
"Time to meet the specimen" he said, walking out of the lab, down the hall, up some stairs and into the living room.

Then she didn't even notice being dragged out of the house, and being injected with something. She was already fast asleep, thoughts siwrling madly in her head but her brain too fazed to bother paying attention.
She would wake up in a strange place where she knew no one. Chances are; she'd never see anyone from her home in Maine ever again.

Grey looked at the girl talking in the chair, then at his paperwork in his lap. That one's Sarah he thought and looked up to see another one stirring. the other dark haired girl, Sadie he said, looking back at his papers. "Sarah Harrison, why do you joke? I don't think this is the greatest situation for you to joke" he said softly. The Sarah girl gave him a weird look.
"it's Arden" she said, and Grey looked through his papers, Arden was the girl's middle name.
"Well then, Arden" he said, and smiled sadly. "Why joke?" he said, she just shrugged.

"You're sick. You are fucking sick" Sadie hissed viciously, darkly. Legs tied to the chair legs, and wrists tied between her legs. Sadie could only wonder what this guy had done to her while she was out of it. A normal girl would be feeling scared, but all Sadie felt was animal rage rising within her, and she was helpless to it's power.

RJ finally opens his eyes as he sees 5 people into the room as he said "Alright, this is definetly not my room" he tried to get up from the chair but he notices his hands our tied, he looked down as he says "Ok, somebody has a fetish". He sees the girl named Arden and the man named Gray. "Ok someone better explain to me why I am tied up and fast before someone get's their ass kicked!"

Arden just look at her tied wrists. She looked around at the six people around her. The five other kids looked tired, but the guy, Grey, looked exhausted. "We're kids dude, why would you need us? We're no geniuses, I'm not at least" Arden said with a laugh and shrug. It wasn't her usual laugh, not a loud cheery one, just a small nervous laugh.
Grey kept a serious face "You'll all learn eventually, I need to go to my lab, it's down the hall, down the stairs, only see me if you need me, my scientist will be in to undo your restrains. and this" he said, holding up a chain connected to a button. "I push this and you all sleep for a few hours. it's a last resort, and I don't want to use it, I don't want you guys to feel trapped, even though frankly, you are. you attack me, I press the button and your watches will administer my own personal tranquilizer serum". he walked into the hall and turned back. "I know you're all mad, but I need you guys, and for your full potential, you need me" he said, and walked off while a scientist came in to untie them.
Arden looked where Grey was standing, "Awesome, we're stuck here with a dramatic fucking nut" She said, sarcasm barely detectable.

"Why are we here?!" Sadie screeched. "Get us out of here!" Then she spun and attacked the girl who had spoken- Arden. Sadie grabbed at Arden's arms roughly and shrieked. She knew that hysteria was creeping into her voice, as her pupils dilated and her eyes started to bulge slightly. Then she sat down, crosslegged, heart pounding, hard blood sweeping through her entirety, and started to punch the ground with all her strength.
"Fuck. Fuck this. Kill. Me. I'm not a lab rat for someone to screw around with." Sadie whispered to herself, but this time her voice was holding back tears.

There was a heavy fog that shrouded the entire park, leaving Mac blind to the perils that laid in the silent street. When she finally exited through a gate, a black van filled her vision. Before she could run, or even scream, strong arms that seemed to sprout from nowhere pounced on her, dragging her into the back of the van with no regard to her protest. Once she had finally found the ability to scream, a sharp pain shot through her wrist, and the world faded to black. She had a dreamless and panicked sleep, and awoke slowly to find herself bound to a chair and surrounded by other teenagers.
"Huh....?" She yawned as her eyes adjusted, not fully able to comprehend what had happened in this half-asleep state. She blinked a few times before her brain caught up, and she thrashed against her restraints. As she came to the crushing realization that she couldn't break away, she slumped back into the chair.
"If you broke my guitar, I swear to God, I will break your face!" She cried, scanning the room in hopes of finding her instrument.

Sadie's freak out moment has passed for now, and she just sat there, defeated and weak. For only the second time in her entire life, she whole-heartedly wanted to die. But Grey wouldn't let her. He wouldn't even let her die. She looked dully at the rest of the captives, who were staring at her. Sadie sighed and retreated.
"go to hell." She said in a dead voice. "Stop fucking staring, too." She reached into her pocket for her last bit of heroin, but apparently it had been confiscated. Jay, I need you here, Jay. Please come save me. But then she realized that there's no way any one of them could stay trapped here forever. Authority, despite how much Sadie disliked them, would come eventually. They had to! It's not like the families would just.... forget about them. Sadie clung to that small hope, trying desperately not to make a fool of herself again.

Kevin awoke slowly, looking at his surroundings. He was no longer in his house, but in a room with six other people, five teenagers tied to chairs and a man talking. Only then did he realize he too was tied up. As the man spoke Kevin listened and tried to work his way out of his bindings. The man said his name was Grey, he spoke of some kind of gene and said he needed them. As he listened to this Kevin got pissed off. They were abducted for some fucked up scientist to preform experiments on. A look of pure rage came across his face. Grey said he was going to his lab, gave directions to it, and left. Another sientist walked in and untied him and the others. He stood there, his body shaking in rage as one of the girls went histerical. Another girl tried to calm her down and was met with rude remarks. He looked at the girl freaking out. "Pull youself together. She was only trying to help." He then walked in the direction of Grey's lab. He intended to find out if his new watch actually held a tranquilizer in it.

Grey was busy looking at his computer screen, looking over all the teen's profiles. He edited Sarah's profile so that her first name would be Arden. "No one knows her, not like it'll make a difference" he mumbled. He looked at the screen for a moment and put Sarah as her middle name. "Nothing's ever truly forgotten" he said under his breath, Then sat back. "Did I just quote Doctor who?" he said, then heard a voice nearby, he held onto the button and approached the door.

"Maybe at least we should press for some more information?" She suggested, looking nervously between the lab and her fellow captives. She was itching to know why she was so special. She pushed past Arden, who blocked the way, and approached the lab doors. She stumbled back a few steps as they opened automatically to a chaotic lab that looked like it had come straight from a sci-fi movie.
"Whoa. Dude." She managed to stutter as she stood just outside, watching in awe. In a dark and kinda twisted way, this place was like something from her dreams. She never imagined that any of it could be real.
"What is this place?"

Grey just looked from his desk calmly, which was in the opposite corner of the door. "Do you need me?" he said, as he put their profiles in a drawer and took them off the screen of his computer, he thought they didn't need to know all the details yet, he wanted to see how they reacted to this whole experiment. He got up from his desk and walked over to them. "I wont attack if you wont" Grey said, trying to make them at ease. he took the button that would knock them all out, out of his pocket and and hovered his hand over the desk "I set it down if you guys promise to be good" he said with a little smile. He knew they wouldn't react positively, and wouldn't like him, but Grey wanted a little help from Stockholm with this project.

Grey watched them interact, some kept a level head, others exploded. He didn't know if either was better than the other. Sure, panicking isn't exactly a good thing, but not panicking isn't normal. "So, what do you guys need? I did say only to come in here if you need me" he said, leaning on the table in the middle of the room. It was metallic, cold, and sent a chill up Grey's spine. he looked at the button on the table across from his for a moment and just looked back at the kids. He smiled pleasantly, which wasn't common for him. he liked staying serious.

"Mackenzie, but seriously, call me Mac." She said with a smile as she turned to face the boy and girl. "Born and raised in San Francisco, snatched while taking a walk through the park." She shrugged after saying this, looking at the others to prompt them to introduce themselves. It was honestly such a miscellaneous group of kids. They all seemed to come from such different lifestyles, yet this mad scientist though they shared something important.
"Oh, and you, Dr. Moreau, don't bother entering that nickname. Only cool people can call me Mac." She glared at the doctor and raised her voice with these words. Defiance was second nature to her. She observed the room for another moment, looking for any way to escape. After this, she placed her hand over the watch, seeing if there was a way to remove it. She twisted her wrist around, looking at from all angle. Seeing no lock or clasp, she decided to go with a more brutish attempt, yanking at the watch with full force. She quickly pulled her hand away and yelped painfully.
"Mother of pearl..." She cursed under breath as she shook out her hand.

Yes. This had to be fake. Not real. A trick by her brain. It's too crazy to be true. She can't be kidpanned. She can't be used as a science experiment, degraded to some test rat. Obviously fake. Hell, she could already somewhat hear Jay's voice calling her; trying to wake her. Of course! None of this is real! Sadie turned to the others, her dark face suddenly bright and hopeful.
"None of you are real!" She exclaimed triumphantly. "None of you could be. This is all fake. I took too much heroin. That's all. I'm going to..." Sadie's eyes went blank for a bit as the sudden rush of elation completely filled her to the brim. Immediately, she started bashing her head against the wall, trying to wake herself back up.
Die in a dream, you wake up. And hallucinations are basically dreams.
