    THIS RP IS CURRENTLY ACCEPTING MORE MEMBERS

    As the premise says, this is an RP exploring the "what if" that exists regarding supernatural powers existing, but the users then being seized by the government and shunned by the people of the world as monsters.

    The RP centers around what is known as Supernatural Virtute Altissimi, or "Supernatural Ability School". It is the one place that all islanders are required to attend for a period of four years. This school teaches new islanders how to both control their abilities, and live a productive life on the island. It also provides an overview of the history of the island.

    This RP follows the lives and moments of your characters, ability users who just came to the island, and their story of integration into the new life they've been given. Periodically threats to the island will pop up, and along with other islanders, your characters may be forced to defend their homes.

    I set no real "requirement" for post length, but keep in mind that I prefer a post that is at least one paragraph long, or a minimum of five sentences. This is likely not going to be the best RP for those that prefer one line responses. Character sheets will be required, however they will be minimum on items they need to be completed and accepted. I also prefer an "on your honor" system for any kind of combat that happens in posts, so no cooky systems need to be memorized and followed.

    Oh yeah, and as a small side note, keep in mind all you redstars that I keep all of my roleplays strictly bluestar friendly. So I refer to Iwaku policy on that.

  • Rules
    -No godmodding in any way, shape or form.
    -Keep cursing to a bare minimum. I don't mind it, but I shouldn't see posts like this:
    [yt]ilaiDl78YkM[/yt]
    -Maximum amount of characters allowed to create is two. More may be approved for creation on a case by case basis.
    -Your character needs to be approved before you begin to roleplay.
    -You cannot change details in your character sheet after its creation unless you have approval from a GM.
    -Posts must have a minimum of fives sentences. If it takes you longer to post, that is fine, but please do not simply shitpost five sentences either.
    -It is advisable to give your post a good layout to improve legibility. Other than that, there are no restrictions.
    -You cannot make a character with the same power as another.
    -Your posts must remain realistic. For example, in a battle you cannot deal damage without taking some.
    -Per Iwaku Policy, there will be no Redstar rated content in this RP. This is a Bluestar safe RP.
    -Include the name of your character at the top of your post, that way we know just whom your posting with. It should look like this:

    Name of character


    Post: posiknaonfonaksoif. oamsinf uanojkenf naiunf ksfn. inaoisnf inaosjnfolainnsf mia mniosnfais nnkvianmsof inaosjnf lkjkn kamsimf imai ijminmkajnso. kmiansijnf km iansi kmanjsnkfn im, kjnknajks.


    -If you post in character, make sure you wait two posts before you go about posting again.
    -IC drama should not become OOC drama, if you have a problem with a recent post or facts, or spotted something I missed, please make sure to notify me in pm, I will solve the problem accordingly.
    -Use common sense. If it isn't in the rules, but you think it's probably something you shouldn't do, don't do it. Better to ask me first.
    -At the bottom of your character sheet please post a color of your choice to show you have read the rules.
    -The GM's word is law, so don't mess with him or his CO-GM's decisions. Express your dislike and distaste all you wish, but don't actively spite them.
    -Deaths may occur in this rp, please don't get upset if a character dies.

  • After you are in an area in which fighting is allowed (Such as a battle Arena), you will be able to instantly take action.

    When not fighting other characters:
    If you are not fighting other characters/antagonists (AKA NPCs) then you can determine the flow of battle yourself. However, keep in mind that you should be credible in your post..

    NPC Combat Example:
    Character A saw a girl being hunted by wolves. He needed to react quickly and drew his sword, rushing at the pack. Letting his sword control him, he made several slashes each precisely hitting an enemy.
    As he put his sword back into his sheath, he had defeated every one of them.
    Turning to the scared girl, he asked her:"Are you okay?"

    When fighting other characters:
    If you are fighting another character/antagonist you always have to give your opponent enough time to react. You cannot rush to him and just pierce him with a blade as doing that your opponent has not enough time to response, which is clearly powerplaying.
    The same applies to the opponent. Your opponent cannot evade every attack you throw at him, so both of you must acknowledge each other's efforts and sustain injuries.
    Also bear in mind that you cannot control the other character, thus you must give enough room for your opponent to react to your attack.
    The outcome of a fight is massively dependant of the creativity of one's post.

    Wrong example:
    User A posts:
    Character A rushed at character B. Piercing him with his blade, B coughed blood and fell soon after.

    Right example:
    User A posts
    A rushed at B. His sword was steady and he would not fail. Trying to pierce his opponent, he increased his speed and rushed straight at him.

    User B posts:
    B saw his enemy running straight to him. His move was predictable. After his enemy had gotten close enough, he jumped high into the air and began to dive at an extreme speed, his blade pointed right at the opponent below.

    Thus user A must post:
    A had not been expecting this. Startled, he realized that it was nearly too late to dodge his attack. He tried to make a roll in an attempt to evade that attack, but B's blade managed to create a large cut reaching all the way to his shoulder.

    Reason: A had made a mistake, rushing to his opponent without any strategy. Thus B had more than enough room to evade A's attack and pull of a counter attack.

    Creative example
    User A posts:
    A looked at B. He knew that he was more than a worthy adversary, so he needed to be careful. Holding his sword tightly, he beared a determined expression. From one moment to the another, he was already rushing straight at B with high speed. Increasing his speed even further, he used the accumulated kinetic energy to jump high into the air, right before he was about to strike, in an attempt to confuse B.

    User B acknowledges A's post and posts:
    B had not expected this. He clearly underestimated his opponent. Right now he could only stare at A, who was coming down for him. Quickly coming to his senses, he made a last-minute dodge and managed to get away unscratched as A landed.

    Thus user A can post:
    He had got him now. A hadn't attacked yet, but B was already getting out of the way. As B was still recovering, A used the opportunity to unleash a quick sequence of slashes at point-blank range.

    Thus user B must post:
    This was bad. B couldn't get away now. He clearly underestimated his opponent and had to suffer the consequences now...

    Reason: A forced B to dodge, but he didn't attack yet. So A can react instantly after landing, but B was still recovering from his dodge, allowing A to hit him.



  • Please fill out the below character sheet and then post it. If it is acceptable it will be approved by the GM or CO-GM, if not you will be asked to change it so that it is acceptable via PM. If it is approved it is expected that you will post it in the character sheet dump.

    Appearance: (An image of some sort preferably some kind of artistic drawing, if at all possible a non-anime one, pictures are fine, however I'd rather not have the faces of "real" people in the character sheets)

    "Quote of something the character says here (for example "Never give up!") "

    Name:

    Age: (Any age older then six years old. Please keep in mind that physical abilities and control over your character's ability may correlate with age, so the older you are, the better at controlling an ability you are.)

    Date of Birth (Month, Day):

    Skills: (Are you a good tactician? Are you great at counting cards? Perhaps you are a great cook?)

    Special Ability: (This can be literally anything. Keep in mind 90% of our combat is against NPC's, so really what you choose won't effect particularly anything, but keep in mind you'll be getting more powerful over time. For example, a character who is capable of throwing fireballs is a great starting place, because from there perhaps they'll learn to shoot rays of superheated flame at superfast rates. It can also be something focused on helping other people, such as a healing power, or it could be simply something that is super annoying, such as one where your character oozes a corrosive mud from their feet whenever they get stressed.)

    Peculiar traits: (Was their any kind of effect that your ability had on you? Is there a weird thing that emerged because you gained it, like a third hand? Perhaps every time you go near fire, the flame is drawn to you. This should correlate to your power. For example a person who has the ability to control fire should not have a peculiar trait where they spout water from their feet wherever they go.)

    History: (What's your character's background? While this doesn't have to especially long, the longer the better. A few things that are good to answer with this section: Where are they from? Who were their parents? What was their childhood like? If they are teenagers, how was school? If adults, what did they do for work? When did they first discover their ability? How did anyone who found out react?)

    Personality: (what is this person like? Are they hyper active and annoying, or a cold and calm? Logical and analyzing, or loudmouthed and stupid?)

    Likes: (What does this person enjoy? Do they like icecream, Tv, sports, etc...)

    Dislikes: (Opposite of likes.)

    Pet hate: (What is one thing your character hates the most?)

    Theme Song: (Optional)

(Finally got my character)


"The shadows are all I'll ever need"

Name: Zeek Martins

Age: 20

Date of Birth (Month, Day): October 30

Skills: Drawing, Painting and writing.

Special Ability: Create and control shadows

Zeek didn't even know he had an ability until he was 19. What unlocked his ability is when his house was being robbed by robbers with guns. They held his mother hostage by grabbing her and placing a gun to her head. He didn't know what to do. Instead of panicking he got angry and all of sudden the shadows came to life a devoured the said robbers. It depends on his mood on what will happen with the shadows. If he's angry then the worst thing that's going to happen is someone or something may get devoured or simply teleported away from him. He can listen through the shadows as well as see with them. He can teleport with the shadows as well. He can create barriers to protect himself with them too.

Peculiar traits: None

History: His mother and father got divorced when he was three years old. He lives with his mother since his father doesn't want anything to do with him. He hasn't seen his father since his parents split up. His father didn't even want visitation rights. Once he got older and his ability showed itself his mother didn't want anything to do with him. He's lived on his own for a year. Neither parent talks to him. But he finds comfort in living on his own with the shadows as he calls them his "Friends".

Personality: Zeek is calm and quiet most of the time. Rarely saying anything at all. He has a hard time trusting people since he was made fun of in school. He actually considers himself as part of the shadows and would rather move around in the background and keeps to himself.

Likes: Dogs, small animals like hamsters, painting and creating other types of art, writing and creating stories.

Dislikes: Cats, sports and cooking.

Pet hate: People who misjudge him.
 
Alright, so i've talked a lot about the first Progenitor's powers, but now it's time to talk about the second. Now, the first Progenitor was given the first "god" power. The second Progenitor really follows the same idea, with the power of molecular creation and destruction. His power is also in the "god" class, and his ability allowed him to literally create new molecules and arrange them into formats that fit his needs. His molecular destruction is in much the same idea, with him simply deconstructing the molecules instead and scattering them. He was also capable of using this ability in intelligent ways, to create certain chemical reactions at accelerated rates. The one caviot was that he was incapable of destroying or creating living matter. The concept of life eluded this power.

He was responsible for creating the modern city that is on the Island of Sanctuary, he used his power of creation to build most of the core downtown area of the island. While the First progenitor originally created the school, the Second expanded it. Under his leadership and guidance the First Progenitor's dreamed of sanctuary truly began to blossom.

Two down, three more to go.
 
@Justin I will go ahead and put up the IC thread since I did not receive a message from you. I'll add you into the roleplay as soon as you've finished your CS.

@-A L I C E- @Lethe @Kurogane86 @SoleStride @Dakota K5

I'll be putting up the IC with a GM post soon and add the link here.

Alright, so per the description, everyone just got off the ship. At this point, just for this round of posting and this round only (once we have all posted once and I get a feel for how everyone posts together what i'm about to do won't be necessary) everyone can do one of three options. (1) Your character can introduce themselves to the out of place kid standing next to the sign. (2) Your character can speak with the school official about what happens next (i.e. what do we do now? Where will we live? Do we need a job?). And finally (3) Your character can interact with other member's characters.

Like I said, this is just for the first round of posting. Once we get past this first round everyone will be able to do as they please with their characters.
 
Oh @SoleStride darlin' it's like you want my character to verbally rip your southern girl to shreds. The set up is to good

I know, sweet pea. She can't help but be sweet as honey on a warm summer day while trying ta talk some sense inta your character's rude ass.
 
Hi. Um, I'm new to Iwaku, but I've been RPing since 2012. I was wondering if I could join this. If not that's fine. I understand people may not have the patience for me learning how to use this site as I go.
 
@Frenchy
Apologies for my tardy reply, but of course you can join! Simply fill out the character sheet and as soon as it's approved i'll get your character into the rotation.
 
I know, sweet pea. She can't help but be sweet as honey on a warm summer day while trying ta talk some sense inta your character's rude ass.

Rude? No, superior. Adrian is a brilliant young man that will not a knowledge anyone that isn't on his level and unfortunately a southern talking yokal isn't on his radar. Can't wait for everyone to post so can show you what I mean.
 
Awesome! Do you mind if I play two characters? I can do just one, if you want. But I like doubling.
 
@Frenchy Absolutely! If you can run two characters for the RP go for it!
 
@-A L I C E-
Your post puts us on track for the next round of posting.

I'm sure it'll be good. She's a general sweetheart so her reaction might be funny.

Also... What's with you and your characters being treated coldly for their weird or crappy personalities? One's a pervert and the other's a jerk lol.

If she doesn't take offense that'll make the insults that much more fun.

I didn't really think of it. In all reality I was gonna do a serious character from the start but was stuck on personality. Then I remembered an elitist I had the unfortunate pleasure of dealing with and Adrian was born.
 
Okay, just to let you guys know I'm going to be posting my characters tomorrow morning or tonight. Sorry for the delay. I'll get them up as soon as I can, though.

"The person who always listens will learn more than the person who always talks."

Age: 20

Birthday: February 11

Skills: speed-reading, science, math

Special Ability: Mind Exchange; she can take over the mind and body of another person, but only one at a time. During an exchange, her own body and mind go into something similar to a coma, and she is forced to relinquish all control of her true body until she returns to it. When she uses her power, she can literally become another person, and has access to all their memories and knowledge. She can also communicate telepathically, but only with her twin, Sam.

History: Elle grew up in the suburbs with her loving mother, father, and twin brother, Sam. She was always a shy person, and making friends as a kid was hard for her. But, Elle was the type of person who didn't need a lot of friends to be happy, she preferred to keep to herself, and for a while, things were okay. When she and Sam were ten years old, their father died from a heart attack. No one had expected it, and his death came as a grievous shock to the family. But still, life went on as it always does, and two years later their mom remarried a man who worked for the government, tracking down "those with abilities that pose a threat to society". At the time, Elle hadn't understood what that meant, but after a little while, she learned that he was really just a glorified, license carrying bounty hunter, working for the government to find and capture people with dangerous supernatural abilities. It took Elle and Sam a little while to accept their new step father, but eventually they came around, and they all lived happily together.
It was in the freshman year of high school that things took a turn for the worse. Elle still didn't have many friends, but for one reason or another, she had an enemy. A girl a grade above her had singled Elle out, and made it her life's purpose to torment her. One day, after school, Elle and her bully found themselves alone behind the gym. That was the first time Elle had done a body switch. Once she figured out how to switch back to her regular body, she ran, terrified, and found Sam. By the time she got to him, the bully she had switchted bodies with realized came to, and realized what had happened. She confronted Elle in front of Sam, threatening to kill her and call the police. That was when Sam discovered his powers.
After escaping, the two rushed home and explained what had happened to their mom. Their mother made them pack their bags and run away, worried for their safety.
The two were essential homeless for about a year after that, doing what they needed and using their powers to survive. Eventually, they were taken in by a small group of people with powers, and given shelter, but nothing good can last. The police started to find and arrest the people in the group one by one. Luckily, Elle and Sam both were invited to the island, and that's where they are now.

Personality: Shy, reserved, bookish, smart, quiet, pessimistic

Peculiar Traits: She has a photographic memory

Likes:physics, astronomy, academics, reading, puzzles, problem solving, dogs

Dislikes: loud people, yelling, small spaces

Pet Hate: being interrupted

Theme Song: How to Disappear Completely by Radiohead

"I'm just trying to keep my head above water, like everyone else."

Age: 20

Birthday: February 11

Skills: painting and drawing, quick thinker, music

Special Ability: Pain inducement. He can trigger nerve endings in other people by manipulating their brain chemistry with his mind. It never causes traceable physical damage, and he has control over how much pain a person is in.
He can also communicate telepathically, but only with his twin sister, Elle.

History: Sam has always been an outgoing, gregarious person. Growing up, he was always popular and had lots of friends. He was the kid in class who always talked too much and got in trouble. He grew up in the suburbs with his loving mother, father, and twin sister, Elle. When he and Elle were ten years old, their father died of a heart attack. It took a while for the family to recover from the shock, but as always, life went on, and two years later their mom remarried. Their step father was a guy who worked for the government, chasing down and apprehending people with supernatural powers that were deemed a danger to society. For the first few months, Sam resented him. But he eventually came around to him, and although he never really saw him as a father, they got along, and for a while, everything was good.
When he was thirteen, one day after school, Sam was waiting for Elle to walk home. He was standing near the parking lot when all of a sudden she ran up to him, almost in tears and panicked. She told him that some girl had been threatening her, and she somehow swapped bodies with her. At first he though she was messing with him, but Elle had never been the practical joke type of person. That was when the girl Elle had been talking about stormed up to them, yelling and screaming and acting hysterical. Sam still didn't fully understand what had happened between them, but what he did know was that his sister, his best friend was in trouble, and that someone was threatening to hurt her. Something in his mind clicked, like a switch went off in his head. Suddenly the other girl was falling to her knees, holding her head and crying in pain. He didn't know how, but he knew he had caused it.
He and Elle ran home to their mom, who hurriedly made them pack their things and run away before their step father found out. He hated to leave, and he hated that their own mother was encouraging them to flee, but he knew that she was doing it for their own safety. So, they went.
Until they were fourteen, the two lived on the streets, using their powers to steal and survive however they could. One day, they got taken in by a group of others like them, and recently, they've made their way to the island.

Personality: friendly, sarcastic, optimistic, outgoing

Peculiar Traits: none, really

Likes: art, music, stand up comedy, socializing

Dislikes: water (he can't swim), math, country music

Pet Hate: stuck up/pretentious people

Theme Song: Heat Stroke by Brick + Mortar

All right, so I have really only one taboo, and that's mind control characters. So i'll have to ask you to change that. Other then that though, this pair of characters is great.
