The State has complete control, they have had it for almost a hundred years. Hardship and terror awaits the 95% of ordinary working people. Prestige and safety is what awaits those born into rich and governmental families. You have got powers, powers that could restore the power to the people; and you're not the only one.
Essentially, the story would be a group of rebels rising up against a brutal regime. It would begin with one of my characters managing to send out messages to your characters in order to meet up. The idea is pretty basic, but I think we could have some fun and adventure out of it! This is my first time organising a group RP so you'll have to bear with me.
Information about the State:
The character sheet would look something like this:
My characters, so you can get an idea:
Name: Cassandra Hesketh-Thorne (also known as Cass/Cassie)
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Race: Caucasian
Accent: Dorset, England (fairly posh)
Sexuality: Bisexual
Appearance: Fair hair that comes down below her chest, blue eyes. Around 5 foot 5, 130 pounds with subtle curves. Round features, generally pretty (picture coming soon).
Personality: Prior to becoming an outlaw in The State, Cassie was a sociable and well-liked figure among her age group, though she had always been viewed as outspoken by adults. She is an optimistic individual and advocates for fairness, despite having a privileged background herself and knowing if fairness did come, her wealth would vanish. She is emotional and seems weak due to her tendency to be too caught up in sob stories and heartache, but it is these things which drive her. She is smart, but not necessarily intelligent. She has a trusting nature, which allows her to be mislead occasionally. To those who trust her, she is fiercely loyal.
Superpowers and weaknesses: Able to shift into a winged lioness. She is able to speak in that form. When not in that form, she experiences sharpened senses and surprising strength for her size. She has speed but not much stamina in human form. She also has a great deal of stealth. Her other form has all of these qualities in a much more efficient way. The saying 'the cat with 9 lives' isn't strictly true, but she is able to sustain gunshot wounds or a stabbing for example without dying. If she stays out of one form for long enough, the other will slowly heal. She is quite sensitive to certain materials and food items that she wasn't before, and her greatest enemies are items such as tranquillisers and stun guns, they do much more damage to her as their effects last longer.
History:
Name: Reyad Shah
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Race: Dark complexion
Accent: Clear Pakistani twang
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Appearance: He has dark hair and dark eyes, he's 5 foot 8 and has a 140 pound slim build. His features are quite soft and he is quite attractive to many. He keeps hygienically clean but is generally unkempt.
Personality: Reyad is capable of being someone you can have a laugh and play pranks with, and someone who will fight with you to the death. These two extremes work to his advantage. He is not easily led and likes his trust to be earned. He often doesn't think before he speaks and can hurt people he's close to with unkind words. He almost always regrets this. He is smart and never forgets things he's learnt.
Superpowers and weaknesses: He has very good agility and is able to scale walls with enough momentum. He needs to have some sort of foothold as he hasn't got spider abilities. He is very quick on his feet and can teleport short distances. Teleportation takes up of a lot of his energy. His downfall is that his strength is only average.
History:
I am looking for a number of people for this one. You need to be literate and I'm looking for at least a paragraph per post. You can play 2-3 characters. I also need people who aren't afraid of playing the occassional 'bad guy' NPC. You are fully free to make a character fighting against the rebels, but they cannot have powers. They may work within the government or within the police force.
If you are willing to wait some time to play the character, you may have a person with powers who opposes the rebels, they may be part of a larger group of power-wielding people supported by the government but this will comes later on in the RP.

Information about the State:
- The State has three major cities, but the capital city is right by the sea, and our characters would meet on the islands just off the coast of this city.
- The State is on the border of another country that it has interest in going to war with and on the other side of it is the ocean.
- The State is controlled by a dictator and his one-party parliament (so a bit like Nazi Germany). He is the third dictator in a row. The State used to be a free nation.
- The government works to keep order, it controls the press among other things. Senior government workers have control over the police force.
- There are huge wealth gaps, most people are are just above the breadline, some live in extreme poverty and there are a number of incredibly wealthy families.
- There is wide censorship.
- The police force is brutal, and public executions take place
- There are a group of islands that are not patrolled, so this becomes a home for our rebels points and places of refuge.
The character sheet would look something like this:
Code:
[b]Name:[/b] (nicknames if applicable)
[b]Age:[/b] (over 16 and under 40 please! If you do multiple characters, can only one of them be between 16-19 though, so its not full of teenagers)
[b]Gender:[/b] (non-binary included)
[b]Race:[/b] (skin colour, essentially)
[b]Accent:[/b] (The State doesn't have a specific accent)
[b]Sexuality:[/b] (anything goes)
[b]Appearance:[/b] (my limit is to be human, or at least could pass for human, you can change into anything though. A picture is not required!)
[b]Personality:[/b] (make sure you have some flaws!)
[b]Superpowers and weaknesses:[/b] (I don't want anything OP, your character must have weaknesses)

History:
Cass was surrounded in luxury from the moment she was born, but as she developed into a young adult, no amount of propaganda could shroud what she saw in the cities. There was poverty and depression, families that mirrored hers who lived in the filth of slums. It was when she began asking questions why there was such inequality that she started to experience noticeable changes. She had always felt strange feelings, experiencing strength she didn't know she had, stealth that she didn't realise she was carrying out and sharpened smell, eyesight, hearing etc. One night, the family hosted a dinner in which top officials came to visit. Not only were Cassie's parents trying to find her a suitor among the crowd of young, and old men, the whole party were talking of the unworthy population mere miles from them. Cassie was infuriated for a plethora of reasons and blurted out comments against The State, something she should never have done. It left a lasting impression, and Cass was escorted out by her older brother.
Her older brother, Miles, was someone who she was close to, and who had witnessed her growing displeasure and had shared it. His position had made him stay silent, he was to have job with the government. He advises her to keep quiet, but not to lose her opinions. He left her to her own thoughts, and it was then that Cassie experienced a draw to the family crest. It depicted a winged lioness with the sun bright behind it. Low and behold, she experienced a shift. A shapeshift, into the animal on the family crest. While everything suddenly slotted into place for Cassie, she was terribly conflicted about what to do. Was she incredibly unfortunate? Was she was freak? Or was this just fate? Was this her chance to be the change she spoke of? Alone, she would try and experience the shift and soon she could actively change into and out of her other form. She learnt how features of the animal were carried over to her human form, and how to apply them.
It took weeks for her to come to a decision. She was going to take most of her savings and leave. She was going to make a difference. Only sheer force could stop her now. She went about her plan, only speaking of it to her older brother who begged her not to go. He was frightened about what this new Cassie was capable of. Cass's intuition told her there must be others like her, but for now she would see what she could do alone.

Name: Reyad Shah
Age: 23

He is very quick on his feet and can teleport short distances. Teleportation takes up of a lot of his energy. His downfall is that his strength is only average.
History:
Reyad grew up in a household shared by around four other families. His mother and his three younger siblings shared three rooms, a bedroom, a general living room and a bathroom on one of the extensions. All five of them worked, doing little jobs around the city to keep them afloat. Reyad had a job aboard a fisherman's boat at the age of 13, and he could climb the mast as fast as a squirrel and he could dart around the deck quicker than anyone they had seen before. He navigated the slums well. The family were never dirt poor, and could've moved out, but Reyad's mother wanted save as much money as she could. The local force in the area noticed her accumulating amount of money and accused her of criminal activity. Most of her savings were taken away and when she kicked up a fuss, they took her away for a few days. She returned to her young family, battered and bruised, and Reyad, 16 at the time, was outraged.
He decided to get back his mother's savings. He began to 'visit' richer households and try and take whatever he could find to sell on black markets. He could climb up walls with little to no effort, and had remarkable agility. On a particularly close escape, he found that he could actually teleport short distances, a skill which must have been acquired with all his darting about. He managed to accumulate his mother's wealth again, and advised her not to put it into the bank. When his mother and his siblings finally got a new place to themselves, he decided to go it alone at the age of 18. He could use his skills to help others.
