January 20th, 1981, Ronald Wilson Reagan became the 40th president of the United States of America. While he did many good things to help a country in a time of need he also did one thing that was kept secret. That secret was that he had authorized the creation of a new bio-weapon virus that was going to be used during the cold war if the need arose. The need did not arise however and the virus was locked away, never to see daylight again, or so it was thought. After Reagan had served his two terms he was taken out of office and George H. W. Bush took office. Not long after his inauguration he was told about the virus and it was once again brought out to have research done on it in case of future war. It was not long after that however that the virus sample had gone missing. Everyone was interrogated to try and find the traitor, but nobody was ever found guilty.
January 20th, 1993 Bill Clinton had been elected as the new president of the United States of America. It was not more that three weeks into his term that the missing virus had reportedly been found, but there was a problem, it had infected American teenagers. Acting quickly yet silently the kids who where found to have the virus were taken from their homes and testing was done on each one. Not long after the testing scientists had found out what the virus had done to the infected. According to the message send to Clinton they were said to have “mutated to the point where they now had (what could be best described as) superpowers”.
January 20th, 1997, Bill Clinton was reelected as president of the United States of America. His first order of business was to tell the nation of the virus and what it was capable of doing to those infected. This at first caused great panic as parents began to distrust their own children, believing that in the middle of the night their powers would go wild and kill them all. This panic forced Clinton’s arm, and he deemed all teenagers infected with the virus a danger not only to themselves but all around them. Finding a place that was far away from any population he had order a gargantuan mansion, -The House- to be built next to a large lake the has a scenic mountain view behind it. The place was meant to have a calming feeling on the teens so they would be able to practice their powers in a safe and stress free environment.
At first the scientists who had studied the teenagers were the ones trying to help them master their powers so they could once more become functional members of society. As certain teens began to master their powers faster than others they were put in control of teaching the others to decreases the years needed to master their powers. After a few good teenagers who had went to the house in their late teens became adults and learned how to teach the others the best they were given control of the house training while the government only stepped in to pay the bills that they made. These bills would include water, heating, food, schooling, gas and etc. They gave the teens everything a normal middle class child would normally have and for some teens the house was better than where they had actually came from.
January 20th, 2001, George W. Bush was elected as president of the United States of America, and with his presidency game new challenges. This is where the course of American history takes its biggest turn form the history that we now as today. No 9/11 ever occurred, no war began with Iraq and the Middle East was not invaded in anyway by the USA. The event that replaced 9/11 was a new treat that came from within. The new generation of teenagers who had been found to have the virus began to rebel against going to the house and being forced to live there until they mastered their powers. They began to say how being forced to have to go to the house was denying them their rights of freedom since they could not leave until they had gained control.
January 20th, 2005, George W. Bush was reelected as president. His first term was hard with dealing with the rebels, but was not looked at as a major threat due to the fact that like powered individuals sought each other out to learn their powers together. The negative side of this however was the fact that these kids began to get involved with gangs and instead of a one random act of violence for some random teen with powers the rate of violence skyrocketed. It was not long after this that teens that had powers started to form gangs for only virus infected teens. These new gang soon took over what was considered regular gangs such as the bloods and crips and other large gangs. As this treat from within began to grow the government recruited teens from the house to try and help in the situation and it worked for a short while, but when the virus infected gangs had managed to get recruiters into the house they to began to take house members for their own cause.
January 20th, 2009, Barack Obama had become the first black president of the United States of America. Now faces with a large bail out for the economy he had to begin dealing with the gangs of virus infected teens. The problem however was that the gangs had started to show militaristic signs and the possibility of a new civil war had to be considered. This possibility was only considered more when the rebels began to send messages out to all the others like them. “Join us or stay out of our way” was the entire message said and the clouds before a massive storm had begun to gather. Now it’s up to all the kids on the streets and in the house and the ones who work for the Government to choose. Will they join the Rebellion, stick with the Government who had treated them so well or just hide in fear until it is sorted out.
This game will be the umpteenth revival of a story originally made by Azrael Wolven, then done once more under Orion Vryce and Safisan's storytelling. A third spin-off was attempted by myself and sadly died soon enough, whereas the previous spanned several pages. This time features an addition to the GM line-up:
- Inner Fray
- Orion Vryce
- Safisan
Anyone else 'accepting' your character in a future OOC or asking you to edit due to plot issues has no right to do so. With the staff mentioned, I take it upon myself to ask for serious and literate players. This means you'll stick through to the end, and will pay attention to multi-threading should it happen (which is likely if it goes well in the discussion here.) The idea is stable and hardly up for change, if you like it, feel free to jump into the planning that'll be done here before making the OOC. You'll be checked thoroughly and voted for approval beforehand, this to ensure we have players that'll pour their heart into the story.
Now that I mentioned the story, it can and will have a darker theme to it; it's not teenagers wangsting about having powers and flirting with everything that has a pulse. There is space for romance, there is space for witty sarcasm and flirting as it would happen in such an environment but it will be realistic within the game's logic. If there's anything vital you should add, Orion or Fray, please.
