On behalf of Nicholas Garroway, President of the United States, I would like to address the events that transpired on 6th July, 2014. At precisely 12:03am, a man originating from Houston, Texas was seen attending a charity fundraiser in the Upper West Side of Manhattan. The aforementioned guest was recently identified as Carl Hayes, a construction worker who had recently discovered that he was the carrier of a very rare condition. It was through this condition that Carl Hayes ultimately made an attempt on President Garroway's life before being apprehended and restrained. It is my belief that there are others who may carry the same damaging disease that Mr Hayes suffered from and we urge anyone exhibiting odd or unusual symptoms to seek medical help immediately.
If you come across somebody who you think may be a carrier of this unknown killer, please contact your local police department. All departments are being informed of this threat and we hope to contain the problem within fourteen days. These hindrances to the survival of the human race are not superior to us, but merely afflicted with a deadly genetic make-up. We are not sure if the disease is contagious, but we advise against any physical contact, especially where the exchange of bodily fluids may be involved.
We hope that as a nation we can triumph over this threat not as a people, but as a family. Medical facilities in your area are hosting free tests to determine the infected, so please make an appointment today.
Sincerely,
White House Chief of Staff

Maria Esperanza's last words on national television before her assassination
Maria Esperanza
Maria is a twenty-nine year old woman from Roswell, New Mexico. Unbeknownst to most of her family, she is gifted with the ability to perceive the future within her dreams. She can't control who or what she sees but the dreams almost always relate to one another. Recently, after the incident at the charity event, she began having dreams of a devastating future that is filled with death and destruction. After realising that she would too die, Maria planned something that would give evolved humans a good chance at survival. She began by making several copies of a handwritten note, compiling lists with a mixture of names from a larger list of the evolved humans she'd dreamt about and separating the list of people responsible for the inevitable deaths between the folders. It was her aim to unite this unlikely group of heroes and have them stop a plan that has been perfected for years.
Your Job
Three days after the assassination of Maria Esperanza, you receive a parcel that you don’t remember ordering. Once you tear the paper away, you discover that it’s a folder. It’s no larger than an A4 piece of paper but what catches your eye is the post-it note; stuck on the very front, the small square of yellow paper has your name written on it. Deciding that this must be some sort of prank, you open the folder but immediately freeze. Inside is a note and two lists; but as you finger through the pages, you begin reading the first few paragraphs of the stapled note.
My name is Maria Esperanza and if you’re reading this, then it means that three days ago, I died. I do not know who fired that fatal shot and honestly, I’m torn with whether or not I should task you with this. By now you should have realised that you are different. It could be in a very minor way or it could be something you struggle to hide, but either way, I am asking for your help.
I have had dreams of you and others like you for quite some time. I have seen you accomplish great things as well as commit acts that you may not be so proud of; but beneath all of that, I have realise that you are special. So if you haven’t thrown this in the garbage and are still reading, then I beg of you, use what I have given you to find my killer and to stop the government from eradicating our kind. The names on the list are others like you and I, they have received a folder of their own; go to New York.
You’ll find everything you need within this folder, but one thing must be clear. You can’t do this alone. Find the others.
The Four
The people charged with protecting the United States are corrupt and all of them have ties to the cover up in one way or another. The four that Maria dreamt of before she died are listed below with what little information she could discover about them; however, there are certainly more people out there and they're a far greater threat.

Maria Esperanza's last words on national television before her assassination
| We are not superheroes. We can be killed, just like all of you. We're vulnerable to bullets, to car accidents and even the same bacteria. We are your mothers, brothers and friends, but we are certainly not superhuman. We are the next step in natural evolution, and I hope in time the world will see us as proof that we are doing something right opposed to a walking, talking cancer. It could be said that we were given these gifts for a reason, and that was to help mankind move forward, but President Garroway has seemingly made it his job to eradicate us. People are scared, terrified even, of what this unmasking means for them; but on behalf of my kind, I say that we are not your enemies. We are your neighbours, your lovers and your family. So before you shun the unknown out of fear, I implore you to— |

- This role play is as much mine as it is yours, offer up ideas if you have them and don't be afraid to point out any holes in my plot!
- Whilst this is loosely based on Heroes, this is not a fandom RP
- The entire idea of this RP is ordinary people with extraordinary abilities - keep it realistic! If you can fly, it doesn't automatically mean you can go around fighting crime, or did you take judo without telling anybody?
- Solo posts are fine! Everything is going to move a little slowly whilst we all get our characters to New York!
- Romance is fine, but it isn't necessary - if you don't want a lover, that's fine by me!
- Of course, all of the usual RPNation rules apply
- If you like to curse, keep it to one per post and your character cannot use it verbally - thinking about how fxxking irritating that teleporter is, is permitted!
- If you've read the rules, add a * next to your ability [if you aren't sure what this means, take a look at my character profile]
- Keep all OOC posts in the OOC page - there's nothing worse than a messy RP thread!
- Reserved spots can be kept for three hours after my acknowledgement - from the moment I like or say alright, your time starts!
- Most important of all, have fun and please don't be afraid to PM me with any questions! I'm always happy to answer / listen to others' ideas as to where the RP is heading
