Inconsistency
OOC!
It's there, in the sky. For the last two hundred years, that big, amorphous figure of a several-thousand-meters-tall woman floated in the upper atmosphere, invisible to all but those within the city boundaries. Most know that the figure is not a woman. In fact, the figure isn't gendered. It just happened to take the shape of a human being when first arriving on Earth. While most expected there to be mass panic, and chaos, and eventually an apocalypse, none of that happened. Going by various names, such as Unit or Article, the figure soon became an accepted part of their reality. After all, it wasn't doing anything to the human race.
That was where everyone was mistaken. Some of the ones to witness the Article's arrival bore children with several physical characteristics that baffled doctors at the time. Increased heart rate, a high body temperature, and bones with almost one and a half times the density of an average human's. On top of that, they could speak and comprehend a strange language that none from the previous generation could understand. These children, collectively known as Fraction, mingled with each other, communicating frequently in both English and their strange language. Parents feared that their children would become the outcasts. This couldn't be farther from the truth, as the Fraction were the children that pushed the normal children aside.
Something strange occurred when the majority of the Fraction turned 14. Diverse body changes, the development of a superhuman ability, and the intuitive capability to use their abilities all swept through the Fraction. The age of 14 is a pivotal point in a teenager's life, where they begin to take their independence. The part of the Fraction that grew unruly and wild abused their abilities to get their way. Superhuman advantages over normal humans, ranging from superhuman strength to the ability to generate fire to the ability to displace their eyeballs, quickly allowed the unruly portion of Fraction to plunge their families into chaos. With these scuffles going on, research took place. Children of the Fraction were selected at random to be studied, and a conclusion came out of it.
The Article was the cause, and behind all this.
The portion of the Fraction that behaved were allowed to roam free, mate, and continue on with their normal lives, away from government watch. The reason behind the government's design to remove their involvement with the Fraction is still unknown to this day. The unruly ones were executed.

PRESENT DAY
Folded Conduit, or simply Conduit or Folded, is a term used to describe the descendants of the Fraction. There are at least 20,000 Folded out of the 1.2 million citizens in the relatively isolated, North American seaside city of Vrayelle. Between Vrayelle's streamlined skyscrapers were alleyways, alleyways where Folded frequently hang out, and express their destructive sides. The idea of being a "superhero" rarely crosses the minds of the Folded Conduits, as their abilities became a part of their life rather than a gift sent to protect the world. These abilities didn't give Conduits a purpose, they just made them different. The closest thing to being a hero that crossed the Conduits' minds would be defending their own property and their own body.
A week ago, mass power outages shrouded Vrayelle in darkness and temporarily shorted out all Folded abilities for close to twenty seconds. When the power came back, the Article began to move. Its massive hand covered a section of the fields several miles from the outskirts, and remained in that position for the last week. While there were a few that noticed the shorting out of abilities, more noticed the sudden increase of power over seven days. Most Folded abilities doubled - the weakest tripled.
Now, Folded in several wards are taking matters into their own hands, and organizing meetings to interpret the meaning of their abilities gaining this drastic increase. Something is happening under the noses of normal humans, and it's something that would require the effort of most of the Folded to investigate this anomaly, and possibly venture toward the Article itself...
Rules
1) No godmoding/metagaming/powergaming. I don't want to see ANY metagrudging either.
2) If I request something, follow it or give your best reasoning why you wouldn't want to. Then follow what I say unless I like your reasoning.
3) Don't be an asshole to your fellow RPers.
4) Try not to be overpowered. I get it - Folded abilities are doubled
5) Stick to the lore.
6) Don't make changes to lore in your CS behind my back. If you want clarification, ask.
6.5) On the topic of asking, if you need help with anything at all, feel free to ask. There is no such thing as a stupid question (:
7) Try to stay updated on things. I'll do my best to tag everyone, but sometimes RPN notifications are wonky. It's recommended to follow all threads
7.5) It's always sad when someone drops the RP. You're always welcome to return at a later date if you weren't kicked/banned.
8) Have fun! If you're not having fun, I'll try my best to make it more enjoyable.
