Autumn
Popcorn Connoisseur
The room is dark and quiet, filled with a cluttered desk and chairs. There are papers scattered around the desk and a manilla folder placed next to the computer monitor. The writing on the front has "Top Secret" stamped on it along with writing in the top corner: Project Raven. The folder looks worn and the papers inside are practically spewing out onto the desk.
There is a clicking sound as the door to the office is unlocked. Light from the hallway spills in, silhouetting the tall, slender man in the doorway. He reaches over, flipping the light switch, his eyes never leaving the clipboard in his hand. The man is wearing a pair of black pants, leather shoes, and a white lab coat. He steps inside, carefully closing and locking the door behind him before he makes his way to the desk. He drops the clipboard on the manilla folder. The top piece of paper is filled with notes. The man sighs, running his fingers through his mess of dark hair. He has dark circles under his brown eyes, probably due to lack of sleep. His eyes drift to the clock hanging on the wall. It reads 3:21. The darkness outside is an indicator that it's morning. He looks back to his clipboard, beginning to reread his notes as he flips open the manilla folder. A piece of paper falls to the floor:
Test subjects underwent DNA augmentation. The purpose of this experiment is to see whether or not this augmentation will produce super-humans that can be trained for government use. The DNA augmentation is intended to produce abilities in the test subjects that are otherwise not possible for a normal human. There are some known side-effects but most disappeared within hours after the augmentation procedure. Known side-effects are as follows:
Intense headaches
Nausea
Vertigo
Light-headedness
Blurry vision
After the augmentation procedure was finished, the subjects were moved to a testing facility intended to examine the extent of their abilities in a variety of situations….
The man leans over, retrieving the paper and setting it back in the folder. He chuckles at the last line. He knows what the examination entails: men armed with guns, natural disasters, genetically mutated animals. He shakes his head. The Raven project was the first round of subjects to survive the augmentation. He had wanted to study the effects more extensively but his subjects were air-lifted to another site for testing, leaving him with only his notes. He flips through the biographies and backgrounds of the round of test subjects, guilt growing inside him. He hadn't been the one to fake the deaths of these people and kidnap them but he was in charge of the DNA augmentation procedure. He was the one who officially made it impossible for those subjects to return to their lives.
He pushed the thought to the back of his mind, sinking lower in his office chair. What was different about this round of subjects? Well, they began showing signs of their transformation early. Some developed a resistance to the anesthesia that was used. Some, while sleeping, caused things to fly about the room. Others had shown increased brain activity and none had died. The changes to the serum that jumpstarted the augmentation must have been correct, seeing as how none had died and they were the first full group to go to the fabled testing site.
All he knew about the site was that it was set up like an abandoned town, surrounded by a thick forest. The employees at this site were charged with testing the strength of the subjects. He shuddered, thinking of the horrors that awaited them.
Hearing the ring of his phone, he righted himself in his chair, pulled the phone from his pocket, and answered. "Hello?" he answered, his voice low with exhaustion. A voice sounded on the other line. "Yes, I'm coming home now, dear," he replied, standing and gathering his personal belongings before making his way to the door. "No, you don't have to wait up," he continued, flipping the switch off and closing the door behind him, the lock clicking into place and his voice fading down the hallway. The room was lifeless once more.
Information: You were a normal person, just going on with your life, until one night when you were adducted by your own government. Your death was faked in a way that left no trace of you. Your family and friends believe you're dead. You have no ties to your old life any longer. You wake up in an abandoned town with no knowledge of how you got there or of what has been done to you. All you know is that you now have powers that you didn't before, powers that no normal human should have. There are others, though, who are there with you. You have to find a way to protect yourselves, not only from the dangers of starvation and dehydration but the threat of the men dressed in all black who attack without warning and move silently through the town. There is unusually harsh weather in this town along with unusual beasts that are unlike anything you've ever encountered. You don't know it, but if you survive this test, you will be the first of an elite squad of super-human soldiers.

Character Sheet:
Name:
Age: 18 and up
Powers: Maximum of two. Be creative! Yes, characters can have the same power.
Background/Personality:
Appearance:
Name: Hunter Grey
Age: 22
Powers: Psychometry (the ability to learn the past or future of an object by touching it) and telekinesis.
Background/Personality: Hunter is the daughter of a well-to-do family. Her father is a successful lawyer for a large firm and her mother is the editor of a fashion magazine. The two of them seemed like the perfect couple and when Hunter came along, they were the perfect family. Hunter is the only child that they had, mostly because they began to drift apart once their daughter was born, each getting more and more wrapped up in their careers.
Hunter was raised on a large estate by the help that her parents had around the house. Hunter took a particular liking to Grace, their cook, who would let her sit on the kitchen counter and watch as she prepared meals. Hunter was raised by the employees around the estate who saw her as their daughter. Hunter was quiet, keeping to herself most of the time. She would often sit in the library, reading from her father's extensive collection. Just because her parents didn't give her much affection didn't mean they expected less of her. Hunter, from the day she started school, had multiple tutors. She learned multiple languages, danced, sang, played piano and violin, swam, and rode horses. Hunter rarely had much down time, truthfully, but she enjoyed all the things that she was taught. Her favorite activity was the horse riding. She and her horse, Emiline, earned quite a few blue ribbons.
However, none of that mattered very much to Hunter, who only wanted to get to know her parents. Once she turned eighteen, she moved out, went to college, and graduated with a masters in English, planning on becoming a high school teacher. She never talked to her parents and they never made an effort to contact her. Hunter was just planning on creating her own life when she was taken for the experiment.
Hunter is a shy, quiet, good-natured girl. She doesn't like violence and she shuts down in arguments. She can be hard to get to know but she's a good person, though she may seem cold at first. She gets more outgoing and talkative as you get to know her and her closest friends would say she's eccentric.

Name: Cole Martin
Age: 28
Powers: Intangibility and memory manipulation (only with eye contact)
Background/Personality: Cole is the oldest son of a family of six. He's always been close with his family, offering help whenever they needed it. His father is a mechanic and his mother is a waitress. Cole was always in charge of taking care of his younger siblings since his parents were often busy working to support their family to be home. Cole never minded, though. He was thankful to have the family that he did.
He was never worried too much about his education, tending to get into trouble more. He got a job at sixteen to help support his family. He didn't get the opportunity to go to college and he's had a construction job since he graduated high school. He still sends money to his parents. He has a big personality and isn't scared to tell anyone what he thinks. No one would ever accuse him of being shy, though some would say he could be a bit obnoxious. Cole has a tendency not to care what people think of him.
Truthfully, he's a great person but he isn't trusting of other people. He just keeps to himself, working as hard as he can to support himself. He hopes one day to have a family of his own and give his kids a better life than he had for himself. Cole is very protective of those he cares about and tends to play the hero which gets him into trouble a lot.
