Introduction
2/3/2014
Just another normal day in the big city. That's what I thought at first, at least until I was on my way to work this morning. I took the bus as I normally do, and it was tipped on it's side by... Something. There have been rumors of superheroes existing for quite a while by now, but I never actually thought I'd see one!
Now, being a photographer, it was my natural instinct to grab my camera to take some shots of the super-battle. There was a man who seemed to be made out of a gel-like material, shapeshifting and with superstrength fighting against a creature made out of rocks. I saw the rock creature throw several cars at the man made of gel, but he was okay.
The battle continued on for a while, there was a growing crowd of spectators, and I realized that this means that superheroes are real.
February third, twenty-fourteen. Earth has gone along a different timeline, and humans have achieved the supernatural. Sometimes genetic, sometimes experimented, and sometimes natural changes. The average person lives in either proud lands, or darkness. The constant struggle between hero's and villans is always going on, even if the average person doesn't know it. Every day, a persons life is changed in many ways, even if they have no idea what took place.
Superpowers have ranged from the most easily imaginable to beyond our wildest dreams. From physical powers such as flight, super speed and strength, to mind bending and conjuration or what can only be described as necromancy.
Most physical powers can be granted by mutation of cells and such, while most pychological powers require natural potency or a superpowered ancestor.
Rules:
1) No being overpowered, you're superheroes, not gods. You must have a realistic weakness. 2) Put "Krypton" in the "Secret Word" if you've read this 3) No being superheroes from either DC or MARVEL, I will know if you're ripping someone off 4) The usual "No cursing, no romance" type stuff. 5) You start RP'ing BEFORE you got your powers, because I honestly think that that will be quite cool. 6) You do not need to be a hero, you can be a villain as well if you want. There can also be superpowered mercenaries if I allow it. 7) This is NOT a super powered high school RP, don't treat it as one.

Name: Timothy "Tim" Green Alias: The Green Man Age: 27 Powers: The ability to project a mental image of anything in someone's mind, except that it can only be green. Weakness: How to protect against the "Image Effect": Wearing a hard hat or being on the other end of a wall should do the trick. How to redirect the "Image Effect": Mirrors, and being immune to the Image Effect. How to prevent the "Image Effect": Create a sound louder than 111 decibels, it'll shatter his concentration and render the Image Effect null for some time, along with keeping him off balance for long enough to attack him easily. Bio: Born in a small town, he excelled in all of his school studies. However, something that he was always more fond of than mathematics would have to be illusions. He was so fascinated by them that he even went to LA get a degree in studying illusions and how they effect the subconscious. It was one day, on February third, 2014 to be precise, when he was visiting his brothers factory that some chemicals spilt on him, unlocking the full potential of his mind, giving him powers. He decided to use these powers to help the people of Los Angeles as... The Green Man. Other: N/A Secret Word: Why would I put that here?

CS: Name: Jake Elben Alias: Mind-blender Age: 36 Powers: Ability to "blend" with other peoples minds, giving Jake access to that persons memories and partial control of their body. Weakness: Is not physically strong, and Jake also has to be close to whoever he is blending with. Jake also cannot blend with multiple people at a time, and has *very* limited control of body parts, in addition to not being able to activate superpowers. Bio: (Include how you're going to get your powers, although we will RP it for fun) Jake was born in an average-sized city, with parents who had just enough money to get by. When Jake reached his teenager years, he started getting short bursts of memories from the other people in his school, and he couldn't control it. Then both of his parents died in a car crash, and Jake was left to fend for himself. Both parents worked, and he couldn't support the house on his own. So he continued going to school as if nothing had happened, and when he reached 18 he sold the house and other possessions and went off to learn to control his powers. He now has a fine control over what he does to other people. Other: N/A Secret Word: Krypton |

Name: Adam Zorrow A lias: The Undying Rage
Age: 32
Powers: The ability to conjure fire, see sources of heat through walls, and breathe easily in most environments.
Weakness: Delusional and insane. Prone to hallucinations, random outbursts of rage, and manic episodes.
Bio: (Include how you're going to get your powers, although we will RP it for fun) Adam Zorrow was always hypnotised by fire. He always liked to sit down by the fireplace in his small home in the big city. He received a decent education, but was kicked out of most schools due to his anger issues and him often harming other students. He was eventually homeschooled by both of his parents. However, his parents were killed in a robbery, causing Adam's mind to give in. He became insane and unruly. He donned a full-face gas mask and dropped all his studies and dreams to become a vigilante. A beggar by day, and a hero by night. One night, he was fighting a criminal near a petrol station when a drunk driver rammed into the station, setting Adam Zorrow on fire. Somehow, he survived, and gained the ability to manipulate fire and see sources of heat, be it people or microwaves. Also, due to his gas mask, he can breathe in most hasardous environments.

I rush past rooftops, my gas-mask fit firmly on my face, shrouded in the dark, my coat fluttering in the wind. I keep a watchful eye for anything going wrong. My left eye twitches slightly behind my mask. |

"Hello!" my brother said, greeting me. "Long time no see!" I said in reply, as we walked into the factory. "So what do you make here?" I asked my brother, but he didn't reply. |

(I think so.)
I pause at a rooftop, thinking about how the government can't stop crime. They need a FREELANCER like me to do it. I continue moving, looking for anything suspicious. |

I walk into the school, but my thoughts are focused on something else. My dog is barking, way too loud, I feel as if I'm going deaf. Except that we don't have a dog, I've only *seen* a dog once in my life! |

After lunch, I begin to walk out of the factory, when I slip and fall into this huge vat of some green chemical. After that, everything went black. |
