Flux Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 The name is not definite yet, but here's the premise of the RP: It is the year 2051. One year ago, the first Pillar arose. Bursting through the ground in the middle of New York City, it was the beginning of the events that would change the world. Soon after the pillar's arrival, certain people began developing supernatural powers. These people were a threat. The government watches them, tracks them, and makes sure these people will no longer threaten society, using whatever means are necessary. These people are the Awakened. Despite the promise of their power, it is often too much. Some are overtaken, killed by their own power. Others are driven mad. Only a small fragment of the few people with these powers can control them. You are one such person. Being tracked and chased by the government, it has been all you can do to survive. They know your name, where you lived, everything about you. You have been forced to leave whatever family you had, living a life on the run. Some of you seek revenge. Others simply want the peaceful life they used to have. But all of you share the same urge: you want to go to the Pillar, the birth of all this madness. Surrounded by a giant wall and contained by the government, it draws you, urges you to make your way there. It's light reaches infinitely into the sky, a permanent reminder of what you seek. For with the Pillar, there are answers. Answers that only the highest members of the government might know, if even they can decipher them. This is the basis of the story right now. It may be subject to change, who knows. Anyway, you will rp as one of the Awakened, each with a unique power. You will have the option to join a group and their cause, or to stay independent if you wish. There will likely be a lot of freedom in this RP, with subtle hints towards your goal. Here are a few things clarified: This RP takes place in the near(ish) future. There are minor advancements in technology, but I'm planning on most of the military and police to still use the familiar modern-day weaponry. This will likely have some descriptive violence in it, so be ready for that if there's interest in the RP. You will get to be creative with your powers. I'd like more than just "controls water." It will make the RP much more interesting for all involved. Also, If you do want control of an element, put some restrictions on it. For example, rather than the ability to control ice, perhaps they would only be able to make ice via direct contact with water. This would make them very powerful in the rain (Being able to freeze all of the ground as well as people in contact with the ground due to being wet) but they would need to be more creative in dry weather, perhaps teaming up with somebody whose power compliments their own (Such as making thunderstorms). Other stuff that I can't think of right now. I realize that many of you are already participating in multiple rps and may not be able to join, which is one reason why I made this thread. However, I feel like this is very different than most of our current RPs and so it may be interesting. Please post any questions you may have, as I'm sure I left plenty out. Hopefully we can get this rolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raindrop Valkyrie Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I'll think about it, once I get Graterras putting along again. It is an interesting concept, and I agree with Murdoc it is very inFamous like. That is pretty cool, since it will be more about those with powers actually being able to work together rather than fighting each other all the time.

Flux Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 All right, there seems to be enough interest to start. I'll try to get to OOC/Sign-Up thread up today or tomorrow and the IC once enough people formally sign up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindrop Valkyrie Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Cool Cool. Also I was thinking of using Lightning, but I do it WAY to much due to my nickname. Sorry, it just feels wrong when I am called Lupo di Fulmine to not have lightning powers lol. I will definitely try to think of something interesting though.
