[Stolen from an idea that Fenix had awhile ago and he decided against doing... He can yell at me later if he didn't want me stealing it.]

"Do you know what its like? To be some... freak? Everyone treating you like you're some type of monster, because of something that science did to you. Its not our fault this happened. Its not our fault that we ended up this way. They should have known better. You can't play God. Your creations will never treat you the way you want. If anyone should be blamed for their deaths... Its themselves."

Only the audio was left of the tapes anymore. The original discs had been destroyed in the fire that took out the main labs 4 months ago; just remaining bits of files and recordings of the interviews and observations with the Project.

As best as can be understood, the Project began with children of varying backgrounds, but all with a single similarity: each child had a mental gift. Some some their abilities as blessings, others, a reason to be ashamed. The government, however, saw this as a chance to examine and possibly tap into a new type of weapon; a sort of super soldier that would never require a firearm, only the sheer power of their own minds.

The tests and experiments had begun over 6 years ago in the year 2057, with most of the children barely in their teens. As their age increased, so did the intensity of the testings, pushing the children to their limits... and resulting in the death of one young man named Hendrik Dedre at the start of the year. This left the other children in an outrage... and began the revolt among the test subjects that led to the Project's final destruction.

Now, 6 months after Hendrik's death, the subjects have escaped from the Project and destroyed the facility that once tortured them- but only to still be hunted down by the government. After all, these special subjects are viewed as no longer humans, but government property.

-----------
Each of the children have a unique mental ability, such as telekinesis, telepathy, precognition, healing, etc. I'd prefer to keep it to less than 6-8 of the "Former test subjects". (Remeber, no one would be under 18- and that's a Lit rule too.)

We'd also need:
Goverment agents
People who help the Gifted "kids"
Hired hunters
Anyone else you think might fit in well here


Posts need to have some substance to them and be more at least a few paragraphs. Forward motion is key, not just a dead lull! Preferably experienced writers!

Please post up a bio about your char!
 
Name: Ember Demarco
Age: 19
Ability: Pyrokinesis ("Firestarter")

Personality: Usually rather shy and quiet, she tries to blend in with a crowd as best she can. Her abilities are set off by her emotions, which she tries her best to keep controlled. However, once she gets angry, she stays that way for quite some time- and this only makes her powers worse.

Bio: After an accidental fire destroyed her home and killed her parents when she was 6, Ember was passed along foster homes for most of her childhood. It wasn't until she was breaking 13 that she was finally told she would be given a true home- but found herself instead being handed over to the test facility. At first, she was incredibly frightened, which caused numerous fires in the labs and bedrooms... but this was soon solved by keeping her heavily medicated with Ridalin. Kept in a rather comatose state for most of the time, Ember came to rely on the other kids for guidance and support, even "Cheeking" some of her pills to revive her gift and aid in the escape. Though she's still quite afraid of what she can do, she also knows that she doesn't want to take part in the experiments again and is even more afraid of going back. She sees the others as her family now, and is willing to do anything to protect them.
 
Name: Amara Enzo
Age: 22
Ability: Telekinesis (Can move objects with her mind alone)
Physical Attributes: 5'10", 130 lbs, brown eyes, blonde, athletic well primed body at 36-25-34

Personality:An easy going,social creature. Easily blends in with others, and is a complete party animal. Has great control over her emotions, and thus her powers.

Bio: Her parents were killed in a car crash. At 15, she felt she was lucky to have found herself at a new home, with new people around her like a family. They told her she was gifted, that they wanted her to achieve her potential. She soon found out the truth -and the inhuman testing created a lot of hatred in her. She really started to understand her true potential as a fit of rage would leave her surroundings re-arranged quite violently- and started to control her powers better as she understood them better. She looks at her powers as the only way of surviving for her as well as her new family- the others who escaped with her.

RPMate said:

Personality: As his name and power suggests he is like ice, cold of heart and deadily serious no matter what. He has trouble putting any trust into anyone but himself and views others as incompetent and weak. He's very stotic and calm being one to get the job done quickly and efficently with little error.

Bio: Never knowing his parents Ice was givin his name from scientist who named him after his mental ablitiy to control water and then eventully ice.
He was raised in a lab diffrent from the other children, which later certin goverment officials within the senite was thankful for, concidering what happened to the first labs and the other children.
"Don't put all your eggs in one Basket" as they say.

Dispite the lost of the other children the goverment kept Ice under close watch and survalance, raising him and training him in a military type inviroment that helped keen Ice's senses and skills however made him into the cold hearted man he is today.

In order to help with the speedy capture of the other children Ice now works for the goverment as a special tasks force agent against the other children.
His mission, to capture and retreive the subjects, alive if possible, and should any civilians get in the way or even witness the childrens powers they are to be terminated on the spot to prevent further information leek of the childrens existance.

This is an interesting idea, can I play?

Name: Marcie Simmons
Age: 21
Ability: Clairaudience
Eyes: Green
Height: 5'2"
Weight: 110lbs
Hair: Dark Brown

Personality: Friendly, outgoing but jumpy disposition. She tends to pause often in conversation, stop and then wonder away. Often seen talking to no one, she is a know insomniac due to the dead's constant chattering.

Bio: Know as an eccentric child, her parents had her committed to a government institution after she confided into her family doctor she heard voices. The hospital hung a label of schizophrenia on her and dismissed her rants as crazy talk. However, during one of her "fits", she pleaded with her doctors to go to the body of a little girl who would not let her sleep. It closed the a high profile kidnapping case when they pulled the body and three others from a local school teacher's backyard. The doctors transferred her to the project for "new treatments" to which her parents agreed. Marcie is not quite sure is she is crazy or gifted. She is tired of being hospitalized and resents (yet misses) her parents for locking her up for the past nine years.
 
Name: Zanthros Castile
Age: 20

Ability: electro siphon

Personality: shark witted thinks he is funny lazy slacker that would make a better prisoner then hunter. He is attractive but thinks to much of his looks very young he hates older people. He does not try to earn respect but when not shown any he will fly into a fit of violent rage.

Bio: at an Early age he took an interest in self improvement liberating some advanced bio cybernetics. Eventually after some encouragement daily beatings he was taken into the fold and made a hunter. He has the ability to siphon energy from nearby source and shoot it at his enemies. He is a good tracker with mad hacking skills that are almost like magic. He can be bought of but the agency that employs him has little choice as normal humans are like ants to these freaks.

i see you need a villian

Nick Tanden

Works for the government.

Strong, agile, has a near spotless military record, starting with the Marines. He worked his way up, for awhile in the private sector, before pulling duty inside of the research and testing areas.

He spent a lot of his time with the kids, watching them grow and learn. Most of this he did outside of their knowledge, few if any of them saw him. He was in charge of making sure they stayed in line. And that meant defensive measures outside of the box.

Of course, he tried his best, but no one could anticipate what had happened. Nick takes personal responsibility. He has vowed to get the children back.

I'm not quite sure what weapons I'm allowed, anything futuristic and fun I can use, or just normal stuff?
 
Name: Craig Timmons
Height: 5'10
Hair: Black
Eyes: Blue
Weight: 200lbs
Power: Telepathy, Telepathic Suggestion
Age: 20

Bio: Craig Timmons knew at an early age that he had some sort of gift. He could hear what people were thinking. He could read people as easily as he could read a book. Some people would have kept this ability under wraps, tried to hide it and insulate themselves from it but Craig discovered at an early age that it could be used for unscrupulous means. He would sit next to the smarter kids in class and read their minds during tests, he knew what pitch the pitcher would throw him in little league and so on. His abilities were discovered, exposed and he was assigned to the Project.

Over the course of his testing, Craig discovered another aspect of his telepathy. He could "speak" to people with his mind. This could be as innocuous as a friendly chat or it could be as sinister as instructing them to do something against their will. After this ability was discovered, Craig was kept almost perpetually drugged. Since their escape from the program, Craig has reveled in his abilities, using it to whatever advantage he can think of, whenever he can think of it.
 
Ohh yeah. I linked one back to here, but not to over there.

Just a reminder: Posts need to be a few paragraphs to help your fellow writers move things along.

And RPMate: What you said in your PM is fine. (I'm just being lazy and don't really want to re-open my PM's.)
 
lol alright then I'll also rewrite my profile to help balance things out. I'll post as soon as I can. ;)
 
Hope that was good for you Meph.
Tried to relate as much of the story to his past as I could.
 
about which part?

As far as I can tell Ice Amara and Zanthros are on one side of the building while.

Ember Marcie and Nick are either on the other side or still within the building that has a gas leek within the room.
 
See, I thought Amara threw the gas into the fire and blew the place up, now it's all in flames while the kids are trying to get out.

I think we should write a little bit more detailed posts. Some of these are a little confusing, and I can understand where Aria is coming from.

Yes, detailed posts help me to understand who your character is, where they have been and where you are wanting to go with the story. The one line posts are a little confusing to me to know where to interact or even the location of the characters in relation to mine.

Sorry if this is a weakness on my part, but I'm not psychic. :)
 
I get you. Will try to make my posts more descriptive going forward, and am sorry if some of my posts caused confusion.

Thank you. I'm sure you are a good writer and I will enjoy reading the longer posts :heart: Sorry if I'm slow :)
