The year is 2050, and the scientists of the world have begun to study recent human mutations cropping up in teenagers and young adults all around the world. However, the government’s true intentions are shrouded in mystery. Thus, a single man has set out on a quest to find some of the exceptionally gifted practitioners of these powers to be admitted to a special academy: The Institute of Powers and Advanced Development, known to its students as IPAD.
Cut to your character’s life. Everything is good and dandy. However, there is something not the same with you. You have a mutation. Perhaps others don’t know, or maybe you felt confident enough to reveal your abilities. Either way, it is time for you to hone those abilities. You have received a letter, addressed to you, and inside awaits your invitation to IPAD.
Character Skeleton:
Name: (First and Last)
Nickname: (Optional)
Age: (Age Range: 12 – 18 years of age)
Abilities/Mutations: (Your character may have up to 2 mutations, or powers, as well as up to 2 abilities. Abilities would be anything not induced by the mutations, such as tactical intelligence or knowledge of martial arts. Most importantly, make sure your character's powers are thematically similar. For example, one character cannot control fire and ice, or land and air, etc. That being said, be creative with this.)
Weaknesses: (No character is all powerful. All of them will have their strengths and weaknesses. I will try to keep this RP going for quite a while, so please think about this, and keep in mind that your character will improve his or her powers over time.)
Personality: (Again, this will be, hopefully, a long RP. Put some thought into this, as your character will change and develop over time.)
History: (This is perhaps the most crucial part. Give a bio about what happened to your character before they were taken to IPAD. Make sure to include how they discovered the existence of their powers. The greater the specificity of this section, the more interesting the plot twists that I come up with will be.)
Appearance: (A picture is preferred, although a detailed description will also be accepted. If your character wears a special set of clothing, make sure to include that in addition to the regular picture of your character.)
Rules:
1. I am a fair person. I will listen to both sides of any and all disputes, but my say is final. Also, my co-Mod, Pristine Dark, is an amazing RPer, so his word counts for just as much, if not more than mine. Please, listen to Pristine Dark as you’d listen to me.
2. One of the most important rules is that this is a literate RP. Please, no one-liners. If you can’t think of anything more to write, take some time, think about, and when you have a substantial amount to say, then post. Of course, that doesn’t mean that you have to post novels, not that I’m opposed to that either. Also, try to use grammar that makes sense. I’m not a “grammar Nazi”, but try your best to use the right grammar and wording anyway. Trust me hard to read RPs are no fun. (Reference rule #8: HAVE FUN!)
3. I’m sure most of you are tired of hearing this, but it is standard: NO GOD-MODDING!
4. Romance is allowed. However, any sexual content will have to fade to black.
5. Cussing is allowed as this is a story with some tension. However, no sailor swearing, as in cuss words in every other line.
6. Please follow all the regular site rules as well.
7. Quick side note, but it is important. I created this RP before, but it wasn’t very structured. Now, Pristine Dark created an amazing story, so I wanted to give him mad props for his ability to create a story. If you join, you definitely won’t be disappointed in what he has come up with. Guaranteed.
8. Most important of all, have fun. Seriously, if it isn’t fun, what is the point of a RP?
9. If you read all of this, and I thank you if you did, please incorporate the term “gobbledygook” into your character skeleton.
My Character Skeleton:
Name: Darian Cross
Nickname: Headmaster
Age: 21
Abilities/Mutations: Darian has control over the four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, and the weak/strong nuclear forces. His mind is also enhanced to the point that his mind allows him to perceive things keenly and strategize efficiently and cunningly using the wealth of information and experience he has garnered over the years. In terms of abilities, he is a master combatant, mostly with swords and other bladed weapons, which he uses in conjunction with martial arts. His second ability is simply his accomplishment in the art of parkour, and he enjoys shouting “gobbledygook” he performs tricks (except not really).
Weaknesses: Darian is very protective of his students and his academy. He stands up for them, and would gladly give his life if it meant saving them and the academy. He is also a little arrogant. However, he won’t tolerate humans discriminating or harming mutants in any way, which can lead to dangerous situations.
Personality: As stated earlier, Darian is protective of his friends and his students. He is also very calm and collected, which helps his leadership, especially in battle. Darian values loyalty and honesty, and he has a wicked revenge streak. He is quite spiteful and vengeful if you cross or betray him. Otherwise, he is warm and caring. Darian tends to joke around a lot, even when giving advice, but there is usually a hidden meaning in his words. Overall, he has a love for mutants. He has no quarrel with normal humans, and it’s not as if he sees them as inferior. However, he won’t tolerate humans discriminating or harming mutants in any way.
History: Darian was born with his powers. Unlike most, he was acutely aware of the mutations, even in his childhood. His parents, taking notice of his prodigious talent, sent him away to be trained by the government. Whilst there, Darian flourished under the tutelage of his teachers. However, something was bothering him.
In his time with the government, Darian’s perceptiveness allowed him to realize that something was amiss. The government, which was notoriously self-serving, had just suddenly decided to train him. Why? One would think that the government should view the empowered individuals as threats. To preserve himself and to further investigate what was occurring, he asked the President to allow him to create a school for advanced individuals like himself. He was given the go-ahead. Currently, having established IPAD, which is in its first year, he has sent the letters to prospective students and is awaiting their replies.
(This history is shorter than what I’d expect simply to maintain the story without giving away plot points and such. Yours can, and perhaps should, be longer. No need for a novel, just well-thought out backstory.)
