WHAT WE KNOW:
2016. A meteorite was detected in New Zealand-Australian airspace that was not detected by any known man made satellites, radars, or technology. Not until it entered Earth's atmosphere in solid form. Upon landing outside of New Zealand, a black sanctioned task force was sent to retrieve it, discovering a luminous cosmically colored cluster of solid and an unknown element. It was taken to a classified Australian site where this uncanny element was studied. As a liquid, it has an atomic number of 1 (light as Hydrogen the lightest element, meaning it could float in liquid state). As a gas, it has an atomic number of 60, right in the middle of all elements and the second heaviest gas. As a solid it's atomic number is 120, the now heaviest and durable solid of all elements. And then, this was when humankind as we knew would change.
The element was discovered to have been spread in radius and mass before entering Earth. Meaning it was a gas before hitting the atmosphere, which scientifically improbable but not impossible. But here's what is impossible. The element once removed from the ocean floor, once a solid mass oxidized with Earth's air... it became liquid. The opposite of what lower to high density physically does. This element operates, melts, condensates, and evaporates on an entirely different set of physics. Which begs the question: Where did it come from?
In the span of the year since 'Dysonium' has been discovered (named after the theroretical Dyson Spheres which adapt to environmental aspects) The media has pushed it as a miraculous and cool spectacle, its seemingly self-changing properties the topic of scientific and philosophical phenomena larger than even Einstein's theory of relativity.
But those that look deeper find something more. From the Earth satellites, a light of almost all colors shines from a point in Australia, life surrounding the area both dies within a week and fully flourishes just as fast. Men in hazard suits, black uniformed men, enter but don't leave. All other governments reach out only to be shunned to what's already been provided to the public. This has pushed the mysterious element's worth up to 30 billion a GRAM. It has invoked interests of science, philophers, adventurers, and even government enforcement and intelligence. Why?
Because New Years 2017, the Dysonium not only lit up in solid state, it emitted a radioactive frequency. And to those on the inside of this information. The code was derived in Morse as a word: LOCKSMITH. The element was communicating. It was more than a natural resource.. it could be humanity's natural unconditional evolution. As the mystery around Dysonium unfolds, its reaches will affect far more than the balance of elements and nature. Human nature was also about to change forever.
This is an OOC & background for a Superpowered but realism based RP. No capes, no fantastic adventures. Humans dealing with scientific anomaly. The setting is present time 2017 a year after the meteorite landed, so about a year a VERY small number of people have had scientific and biological enhancements to the point of spectacles from a comic book issue. They (you) don't know how, you don't know why. But every now and then they have dreams... more like visions of a glowing element the color of the cosmos. Calling to them. Not by name, by a cellular tingling, almost as if something is breaching the soul. And one word: Lock.
As the RP progresses, we will discover the secrets of Dysonium and reveal the truth behind the newfound reality that has landed upon us. The tone or feel of this RP will be similar to Stranger Things, grounded but retro-fantastical.
RULES:
1. The main common one. Respect Iwaku and its rules.
2. Any questions or intrigue about the plot or story come to me! I love hearing ideas even if we don't incorporate them.
3. OOC will be friendly and respectful. IC be extra and add flair all you'd like BUT...
4. BE REASONABLE. Realistically adapt and grow into abilities and make logical choices. You can control weather? Know that you will not begin with master continue or creating storms at will. Go into a very secure Army base tossing fireballs alone? Your IC has ended lol.
5. I do not mind if you guys subplot romance. Just keep it PG-13 and not TOO detailed.
6. Try to have UNIQUE characters. For some reason people love military trained or martial arts based characters. As much interest as this RP go to I can tell you now EVERYONE WILL NOT MAKE IT. If you want to make a combat character go ahead just flesh them out. I will not begin approval process until I see and feel good about your CS sheet. Only those that are approved will get an ability. If you do not make the cut, or if you don't even want to have a powered character speak to me about a support role and I'll see what I can do.
7. If you didn't know from the InCheck, the process for selecting abilities will be the combination of your preferred power added with a random power from me. Ex. (Mind control + Enhanced Hearing = Widespread Telepathy which is hearing minds over vast distances)
If you don't like you power you'll just have to find a way to cope. Side note: I will NOT change true power no matter how weak or overpowered it is. Once it's yours, it's yours.
8. If you cannot post due to IRL or other reasons please post in consideration of everyone else. I'm interpreting this RP to go relatively fast pace wise not too speedy, so if you need assistance ask and you shall receive! And...
9. If you do fall too far behind or get in a hole you cant climb out of that doesn't mean you're done for. Unless you're intentionally a jerk or going against the tide of the plot, you can get back up to pace.
10. If you band together, or fight amongst each other IC, coordinate with each other as I will be overseeing those situations with a final outcome, but stay true to character and abilities. Don't force it just because you wanna "be great"
11. HAVE FUNNNNNNNN!!!!!
12. Now, if you read, accept, and understand all rules: At the end of your CS, write a sentence mentioning Dyson Spheres in a fashion that would be true to your character.
