This is not the greatest sounding plot I have ever written but I'm too lazy to go back and make it sound pretty. :P
In the world of heroes and heroines there are laws that all with supernatural abilities must follow. These rules are simply. Use your powers for the good of those around you. Never harm another soul unless they are threatening the welfare of another. Keep your identity hidden. And finally, always put others before yourself no matter what the cost. Whether or not you belong to the society known as "Superheroes" or not, you must follow these rules. There have been those that call the gift of supernatural abilities a curse because of the life they force upon you. Some accept it and use them for good. Some hide their powers from the world, living a lie through out their life. And some refuse to obey the rules and become the enemy of the world, or at least of the heroes.
Whether or not a person with special abilities chooses to obey the rules or not, they can never live a normal life. Even those that hide their powers have harder lives than others because a power that is suppressed can become violent and sometimes will turn on the one who has it. When this happens the person loses control of their body and are usually killed by the energy stored in their body. Other, significantly rarer cases end in the person going into a kind of coma and being controlled by their power. They are incapable of stopping what they do and usually meet their deaths at the hand of another person with Abilities.
This is the way it has been for as long as anyone can remember. These days people are more cautious about people with special powers, also called Abilities. At the age of fifteen every child is tested for Abilities. If they are found to have even the slightest trace of them then they are shipped off to a special training facility where they learn to accept and control their powers. This is done in secret and anyone found to not have Abilities has the memory of the test erased from their mind. Once those that do have Abilities are finished with their training (which only takes about a month) they are sent home. They can then choose to join the superheroes of the world or they can keep their powers secret, using them every so often to prevent their powers from getting out of control.
A new group of kids has just been released from the secret training facility. Some have decided that the life of a hero is undesirable and have told their teachers that they will not be using them for anything extraordinary. Some have chosen to live the life of a hero, knowing they can turn back and live an almost normal life later. One child, however, has chosen to use their powers against others. Why? No one is really sure. Or, to be more precise, no one has bothered to find out. The child left their home and went into hiding to train. The current band of superheroes are unaware of this troubling news.
A mere two months later the boy, who's name is Ino, comes into the open. His powers are greater than those of many of the existing heroes and he uses them to kill his enemies. The superhero population is hurt by this but there are still far more of them than of him. Still, he fights so hard and moves so often that he is hard to track. The heroes can't catch him long enough to do any damage. But Ino uses his powers too much. He exerts himself too much. Eventually he loses control of his abilities and his powers take him over causing him to die a very horrible death. Right before his death Ino announces that his power will last on and that all living beings with Abilities will suffer his fate. He uses the little power he still has control of to ensure that when he has died, his power will become a curse that will affect every living being with Abilities.
It works. Many people die that very day. At the same time, there are those that go on rampages, eventually using up all of their power and perishing. Within two weeks most of the people with Abilities are dead. Only a few survive. These few are people who have suppressed their power long enough to have complete control over it. They know that their control will not last forever, however. The only way to live through the curse is to end it. How they will do that is unknown, but they will try and hopefully succeed before it's too late.
Side Note (I'd advise reading this or you might get a nasty shock later in the RP.)
People are going to die in this RP. The number depends on how many people join. Also, at least one person will go on a possibly reversible/survivable rampage. I will be selecting who dies. I do not base it on anything you put in your profile or on anything about you. The choice is completely random. I will put everyone's name on pieces of paper and put them in a hat. Mine will be put in too so my character may end up dying or be the one to go on a rampage. When a person dies and when the rampage/s happens will be completely random as well. If your character dies you are allowed to make another but this one will be a normal person with no Abilities.
Rules
1. No godmodding, power playing, spamming, or flamming. All of these make Alana turn into a very angry tiger who will pull your spleen out. Got it?
2. Don't complain or whine if you're rejected. You can always try again.
3. I do not choose who dies based on anything other than chance. Don't complain or get mad at me if your character is selected to die.
Sign-up
Name: (First and last.)
Nickname: (Every hero has one right? It's just for fun if you want one.)
Age: (15+)
Gender: (Male or female.)
Description: (What your character looks like. Don't worry about keeping your identities secret though if you want to have a mask you can. Also, you don't need to wear spandex and a cape. Remember, you never planned to be a hero. Plus spandex scares me. :P)
Personality: (How your character acts. Try to make it fit the situation.)
Ability: (You may have up to three and try to make it unique. I don't want five people with psychic abilities that can turn into animals.)
Weapon: (W00t, you get a weapon. This isn't like gun or sword or anything, it's a part of you. Basically a part of your power in physical form. I will determine what your weapon is by your personality.)
Mine
Name: Teria Yin
Nickname: Skylark
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Description: Teria is of average height for a girl her age with fair skin and deep blue eyes. Her long dirty-blonde hair is kept out of her face by a brown bandana tied around her head. Her outfit consists of dusty looking jeans with an embroidered belt and a green t-shirt with wings on the back over a long-sleeved white one. Around her neck is a thin black cord with a bird shaped pendant hanging from it.
Personality: Teria is a quiet girl who likes to live a peaceful life. When she learned she had Abilities she found it very interesting and spent a great deal of time testing them and working to discover all she could about them but never wanted to be a hero. She enjoys having fun and loves to hang out with her friends. She is usually pretty calm but there are times when she snaps and becomes very hyper, scared, sad, etc. She's strong and very smart but she prefers to keep her mouth shut and listen. Because of this it's very hard to see what she's really like.
Ability: Teria has the ability to calm creatures who are frightened or panicked, a power that allows her to create energy in her palm and use it as a weapon and as a shield, and she can create wings for herself.
Weapon: Bow and arrow
