OPERATION MAVERICK
A futuristic superpower crime roleplay
THE PLAGUE
100 years ago, a deadly plague called the Ryker virus consumed the world killing millions and infecting more with agonizing symptoms. All hope seemed lost until a vaccine named Sirona was developed and cured the sick in a matter of days. The world seemed to be returning to normal until the people who were once sick began developing strange but extraordinary powers. Cases of superpowered humans appeared all over the world and they all had one common factor; the vaccine. The Sinora vaccine cured the virus but caused cells to mutate in ways they never had before. Those who were sick and hungry for power started riots at hospitals and stole the vaccine from medical facilities in order to use it on themselves. Irresponsible people with powers became more frequent and caused chaos and destruction with their new abilities. The remaining vaccines were immediately gathered and destroyed by the government leaving those who still suffered from the plague to die, but those with the side effect lived on to reproduce. Although the government managed to exterminate most traces of the vaccine, rumor has it that some of it still lingers on. Those with powers were named “Mavericks” and segregated into secluded neighborhoods and for those with particularly dangerous powers, were kept in special facilities. Over the next 100 years, Mavericks protested their rights and were slowly let back into society. The specialized hospitals for uncontrollable Mavericks still operate despite the many attempts to get them shut down. Eventually Sinora was available again in limited quantities at a high price through a special pharmacy or obtained illegally through black market trade, but it is still very hard and expensive to obtain.

MAVERICK CRIME BUREAU
In the year 2058, a new law enforcement agency, the MCB, was put into place to accommodate for Maverick criminals. Your character will have the choice of being one of these three.
Inspectors
These highly trained detectives are humans who specialized in Maverick related crime. With new technology, Inspectors are able to detect who is a Maverick using a device in their guns but not their specific power. They must go through rigorous training of four years in order to become an Inspector. Their job is to arrest Malefactors and keep the Hounds' powers in check.
Hounds
These detectives are Mavericks who work along side Inspectors and use their powers to arrest Malefactors. They are more restricted than Inspectors and rely on their Inspector due to their possibly destructive nature. They must go through a long series of tests and training that takes five years to complete before they can become a Hound.
Malefactors
Malefactor is the name for a Maverick who commits a high level crime and must be dealt with by the MCB. These criminals use their power to break the law and if arrested are placed in highly secure prison that accommodates for their unique power.
PRESENT DAY
The year is 2116, Mavericks and humans coexist with each other and face little turmoil. After 100 years, Mavericks have been fully assimilated back into society and have regained almost all rights. Mavericks and humans now work alongside each other, go to school together, live in the same neighborhoods, and some are even friends, breaking the discrimination from decades ago. The MCB has managed to keep rogue and dangerous Mavericks under control keeping relative peace. Despite the harmony between species, radical groups want the Mavericks separated from humans and others want Mavericks to rule the humans seeing themselves as the “superior species”, but no one could prepare for such a change in society. Two years ago, Humans began developing powers just like Mavericks, but these powers were erratic and beyond controllable and in extreme cases these humans went deranged and attacked anyone in their path. After extensive research and experimentation was done, it was determined that these humans were affected by a poorly made copy of Sirona called Pseudo-Sirona or PS. This roleplay will take place in 2116 in the fictional city of Columbia, a futuristic metropolis in the USA.
THE ROLEPLAY
THE MISSION
You have been recruited to an elite team that was formed to uncover the creator behind the Pseudo-Sirona and put an end to the deadly attacks it causes. You will either be an Enforcer, a Hound, or a convicted Malefactor released from prison for this mission and you and your team will have to reveal the actual truth behind Pseudo-Sirona. Is it really just a drug made by some junkie who wanted a thrill? Or is it something more? Are you prepared to uncover a sinister conspiracy that will change your way of life forever? Your mission awaits.
THE POWERS
I am currently working on a list of available powers for your character and that will be posted once the thread is up and it will include things like; enhanced strength, invisibility, telepathy, power detector, healing factor, healing, teleportation, force field generation, levitation, intangibility, manipulation of the four basic elements (earth, fire, water, air), etc.
A NOTE ON CHARACTERS
No anime pictures, real people or realistic drawings only for your character.
I will be accepting around 10 characters and set a deadline so this is not first come first serve.
Maximum is two characters per person.
Mavericks were either born with their power from Maverick parent(s) or were given the Sinora vaccine when they were sick with the Ryker virus.
The thread will be up by June 18th if this gains any interest. I wanted to put this out a week earlier to see how many people would be interested in this RP.
Please let me know if you are interested so that I can tag you when the thread is up!
Feel free to ask me any questions in the meantime!
HERE IS THE THREAD Detailed - OPERATION MAVERICK
Note: this roleplay was inspired by Psycho Pass and the novel Illusive by Emily Lloyd-Jones
