Neale and I have come up with an idea for a thread and would like to know how many people will be interested. We are going to build a story around some earth people who are captured and put through a series of mutations to give them 'super powers'. The reason why this is done is the aliens, who are not from our universe, need some champions to fight a menace that has killed all of their champions. Those left on the alien world are not biologically fit for the mutations so they picked a species that is...OURS.


There will be a series of four mutions for those who choose to accept the challenge and excitement will occur between these mutations so dont think that it will be dull. Also, Neale and I will not be taking any of the major chars...we will fill in for any of those who interact with the chars. Also, we will tell you each what mutations happen to you...then you can work within those mutations. We are thinking that if anyone quits or dies....the powers of that person will be transferred to another. More to come on that later.


Another thing, let your chars enjoy a range of emotions at the mutations. You are, in fact, being mutated without any choice. It's going to happen whether you like it or not. You all dont have to be thrilled or you can love the fact of the power.....but playing it real will only enhance the thread.

We hope you will join and enjoy this thread. Just post your stats for your 'human' char and whatever job they do on earth and, when we have enough, we will start.

Hi... I wanna play

No known surviving relatives

No job, but steals everything she needs
 
You are all in and thank you for responding to the thread. Lets see if we get a couple more and then we will start.
 
Count me in!

Always a pleasure to work with you Isolde!

Michael Li
Chinese (as usual!), born and raised in the UK
5'9", 140lbs, medium build, and currently a playing soccer for one of the top teams in Europe.

Thought the kidnapping a famous sportsman angle would be cool ;op
 
Why thank you, Ask For More. I am going to let this go until the end of the week and then I will post the opening to the thread
 
Checking in...

Okay... I see 5 players thus far. I'm going to design a powers set for up to... 9 different capturees? To give you a quick preview: The basic power sets will probably involve things like: air/earth/water/fire elemental powers (4 different people), telepathy/psionics, raw strength, speed, shapechanging, and weather. If anyone has any preferences or suggestions, please email me, or post them. Thanks, and here's looking forward to a great thread!
 
Dammit! Beat me to it!

I'll take anything...although speed would probably be most appropiate for a sportsman...
 
I'll take... shapechanging.....

I think that could come in handy for a thief... :)
 
COULD I JOIN IN?

Kelly "kid" Andrew
Age: 19
History: Born on the streets, my parents both dead, only flashes of memories of either. Adept at both knife and street fighting, I mourn the loss of my only friend, recently murdered.
Attributes, 5'11", 140 lbs, pale blue eyes that show only hatred of enemies
 
If you still got room I'll sign up:

Janice Miller
Age: 18
Height: 5'0"
Build: Skinny
Race: Too mixed to be accurate (includes White/Black/Latino/East Asian/Arabian/Indian Subcontinent/Carribean and probably many others)
Lifestyle: Hobo/prostitute/thief/living off her wits. She has been dowing so in one way or another since she ran away from an abusive home at the age of 11. She is cynical, distrusting and can be nasty. Bordering on Antisocial Personality Disorder, she most DEFINITELY fits in with what you suggested about MANY reactions. She is a survivor, with all the good and bad that entails.
 
Would love to have both of you. Let Neale know which of the powers that havent been taken that you would like.
 
For Janice: Any power which ties into mood swings. I guess that that would allow any elemental power, shapeshifting or weather. Not a single-vector power like strength/speed. So, when others have selected, give me the least popular out of the 'varied' powers.
 
No need to mutate........

I'm in, if you still need people.

Garrison has the ability to corrupt any other mutation within his immediate presence @100' or so and use the mutation to his advantage....

He's uncertain of how this works or how to control this and the ability is (at least as far as he knows, always short lived)...

The mutation is also splitting his persona into two, relatively undefined but very distinct psyches....
 
Your welcome to join..and the splitting of persona is fine but you have to pick a mutation that Neale has listed and then he will give you what abilities you have from there
 
Ruh roh...

Unfortunately, Garrison, I think Black Bart has already asked for the psionics bit. We didn't make it clear, and I apologize for that, but the mutations are unique. If you don't like any of the remaining ones, please let me know, and I will try to come up with a new type you can work with.
Thanks for understanding everyone!
btw, Lit has been flaky all day, so it will likely be tomorrow or the next day before we can get the 'real' thread started.
 
Apologies

We have the powers thing settled down, and should get the thread started... hopefully this weekend? Soon, anyway. Thanks for being patient with us!
*big ol' group hugs*
 
Plenty more where that came from, darlin'!

Here ya go: *hugs until you are really getting tired of being held by this furry guy*

btw: CUTE pics!
