Hello and welcome to my first RP!
There's been talk of them for centuries: people with abilities, capable of doing things that humans shouldn't be able to do. But time and time again, we're told that they aren't real, it's just good entertainment for film, television, and books.
That's a lie, though, and there are plenty of people who know it.
The term used by investigators is “parahumans”, and they live among us. They work in our grocery stores, teach our children, treat our sick, and populate our prisons – and they're also a popular source of study among those made aware of their existence.
One thing is certain, though, they just want to get on with their lives.
Rules:
1) Literate Rpers only. This means (mostly) proper grammar, spelling, syntax, etc., as well as posts with a minimum of one paragraph.
2) No god modding.
3) There will be violence, though nothing too graphic.
4) Each parahuman MUST have some sort of negative result of their gift.
Character Outline:
Name:
Age:
Parahuman/Normal/Investigator:
Ability: (if parahuman, this is also where you should put their “weakness” or negative aspect of the ability)
Appearance: (picture please)
Background:
Name: Alby Monroe
Age: 20
Parahuman/Normal/Investigator: Parahuman
Ability: She is able to memorize things, right down to muscle memory, simply by looking at maps or watching videos on how to do things. The problem, though, is that she needs to make room for the new information, and so she has very little long term memory storage. She is usually only able to hold onto memories for a few weeks.
Appearance:
Background: She was normal until she hit puberty, and then her abilities started to manifest. Even though her lack of ability during her youngest years means that she had a normal memory before, she still has no memories from her childhood. Alby has just recently moved into the city, and keeps a video diary so that she has a way to store her memories and see how her appearance and things have changed. She also keeps notes around of vital information, such has her work address, mailing address, phone number, etc. When it comes to people or things that she sees and interacts with on a daily basis, she's able to keep it in her memory stores,
Name: Evan Welsh
Age: 22
Parahuman/Normal/Investigator: Normal
Ability: He's able to “push” people, which means that he's able to sort of bend their wills to do what he wants. However, he's only able to do it by making eye contact, so things like sunglasses prevent him from being able to use his ability. Also, long-term pushing on people can cause mild brain damage.
Appearance:
Background: Evan never realized that he was pushing people until he'd already been doing it for a over a year. He'd been suspicious, but always convinced himself that he was just incredibly persuasive. He works at the same restaurant that Alby does as a cook and goes part time at a community college.
