The Flare
Years ago, people on Earth predicted that that a solar flare would wipe out the human race and leave the planet a barren wasteland.
At first nobody gave it any attention. But then slowly, signs started showing. The weather started changing, crops wouldn't grow anymore, draughts became the number one problem faces by most countries. The predictions were coming true. Humans would soon cease to exist.
So, these same scientists that foresaw what would happen felt the need to take matters into their own hands. They made labs deep under the ground where they hoped the Flare wouldn't reach them. They intended to gather newborns so they could run experiments and create a race of superhumans with abilities that might help bring the Earth back to what it used to be after being destroyed by the solar flare.
From all of the space exploration they had done, they collected particles from various planets, its moons and even stars and asteroids. They called it 'Essences'. These Essences were the main ingredient in the serum that were injected into these children. And not all of those kids chose to be there. They were all handed in by their parents and had been among hundreds of other children from all around the world to have passed the initial round of tests and were qualified to be injected.
Now grown up, these people, more commonly referred to as experiments, are all of what's left of the world apart from the main scientists and guards at the lab. They still have to undergo a few more tests and events till they can leave the lab.
But nobody knows what they'll find upon reaching land again since anyone that's gone up after the Flare hit, has never come back down...

Notable people
Harrison Lee Jordan
Harrison Lee Jordan is the mind behind the experiments. The one who had proposed the idea that they needed to test on people to make a superhuman race. He had suggested they use the essences they collected from various planets and moons but unfortunately, he died during The Flare since he had been above ground when it struck.
Clementine Lisa Jordan
Clementine is Harrison's sister. She picked up his work after him and vowed to see it through and make sure that nothing would go wrong. She currently runs the labs and makes all the decisions. Her word is law and all the guards and other scientists are under her control.
Soul Guardian
After a few years of experimentation, the children sported odd black marks and as time wore on, they became defined birth marks that looked more like tattoos. Upon closer inspection, Clementine saw that two people would have the same tattoo which she went on to call their 'soul tattoo' meaning they would eventually learn to work together and help one another out. She continued different experiments after this, assigning particular serums to those with the same tattoos so that these two people, Soul Guardians, would be bound to each other to protect each other.

RULES
1) No godmod. No controlling other characters or deciding what the outcomes of their actions are unless the characters belong to you.
2) No OP characters. Every character has powers but with powers come flaws and since these are fairly untrained characters, they will have more limitations than strengths.
3) Post at least once or twice a week. I realise that people get busy and have other things to do and I don't expect anyone to post at the speed of light.
4) Please REQUEST a character first and wait for approval before you make your character sheet. No character sheet is to be posted in this thread as this is only for OOC chat.
5) You may request up to 4 characters. That is the maximum. I would request, but not insist, that you play at least two, one of each gender, to even things out. I don't want an extremely large group of people because things tend to go haywire.
6) Cussing is definitely allowed however bedroom scenes need to fade to black or be taken to the PMs.
7) Please read theough all the details in the folklore tab.
8) Please mention your favourite colour when requesting so I know you have read through all the rules.
