July 5th, 2014. Local news broadcast:
"Thanks, John. I'm here at the scene of the freak storm that took place on Faris Mt. early this morning. As you can see behind me, investigators and first responders are still here trying to determine what happened here exactly. Victims of the storm have been relocated to the Atlas City Hospital to recover. Shockingly, all of the victims have fallen into a coma and are not expected to wake up for the next several weeks. Relatives of these victims are demanding answers, but meteorologists have not yet drawn any conclusions concerning what caused this freak storm- or what sort of storm this one was exactly. Witnesses have reported that the storm had an unusual green tinge and that they've never seen anything like it. Meteorologist Cedric Huston says that this may have been the result of pollutants in the atmosphere, but he does not know for certain. And until these questions are answered, Faris Mountain State Park will remain closed to visitors. Back to you John."
...
//THREE WEEKS LATER//
A man, assumingly in his mid-forties, stands at the ledge of a skyscraper in Atlas City. The sky is painted black, blinking with white specks. The figure wears a black feather cape that billows in the wind, as though trying to free itself from the menace whose dismal eyes shine through the dark brown winged helm fitted on his head and survey the city streets below. "Such waste," his lips murmur. "Humanity has failed, yet they still reign supremely over the earth?" From inside his leather vest, he withdraws a small brown notebook and begins leafing through its pages. He pauses on a particular page and caresses the small, yet powerful words scrawled across the paper:
"Humanity has failed us, and at this point, redemption is a buried dream. Corruption lingers in the streets of our beloved city, and darkness hides the sun. But I have faith that the sun will shine again, for I will begin a new era of justice, of promise, and of nobility. Murder, war, crime- all will fade to memory as we ease into a Golden Era. But a dream such as this one cannot be achieved alone. I will raise a league of heroes from the ashes of Atlas to revive what had once been beautiful and pure. And although humankind will be eradicated, a new variety of earthly beings shall inherit the earth. I see great things in our future."
A streak of lightning crosses the sky on the horizon, and the figure's face lift from the small leather bound notebook. His eyes gleam with utmost pride. "Finally."
...
//PLOT//
On July 5th, 2014, you visited Faris Mt., just north of Atlas City, perhaps for the scenic view, the adventure, or simply to escape the stresses of everyday life. That same morning, though, an unpredicted storm rolled in. The rainfall was heavy, the thunder violent. You hadn't any time to seek shelter before you were assumingly struck by lightning. Wounded and unconscious, you were rushed to the hospital and remained there for roughly three weeks before you woke from your coma and were sent home to recover from the injuries- and the shock of the experience.
Yet you feel fine, and as you go about your daily business, you find that you've acquired something unheard of in real life, but commonplace in comics and movies- a power. A gift. A new strength. And as it is, unusual events are beginning to occur in Atlas; the skies are brewing with bizarre weather and unusual storms. Tempest, a manipulator of weather, has just recently made himself known to the citizens of Atlas, and his intentions are darker than the grey clouds amassing in the skies.
Atlas is calling for a hero.
...
//NOTES & RULES//
-Godmodding, meta-gaming, and all that jazz is forbidden. I trust you all to RP wisely and appropriately without going over the top with your character's powers.
-You may only have ONE power. This is for the sake of variety among characters and avoiding overpowered characters. This means that you may not have storm manipulation itself as a power. You will have to choose something more specific, such as electricity, rain, or thunder manipulation.
-All powers must be related to storms or natural disasters (thunderstorms, tornadoes, earthquakes, flash floods, etc.)
-You may not control Tempest, the primary villain in this RP. He will be an NPC, but I will take control of him when the need arises.
-You may become a villain yourself if you'd like. But that choice will need to be made further into the RP, because nobody is very familiar with their powers yet.
-You may be a human if you'd like.
-We'll be starting out as our characters return home from the hospital to "recover".
-I'll add to or edit this list as I see fit.

Completing his appear is a navy blue turtleneck, tannish trousers and a necklace with a anchor at the end of it. Costume: N/A
Personality: A quiet man, Rascun is actually mute due to a accident in his late 20's. He easy going and gentle, always preferring to evade rather than confront.

It basically picks up chemicals in the air to make it more lethal.
Abilities: Pistol Marksmanship, Distractions[Better distractions], Navigation, physically strong. Weakness(es): Mute, Physically slow, passive.
Biography: A sailor at age 19, Rascun proved to be capable on the waters, whether it be on or below deck. He was steadily rising through the ranks until one incident in the ship's engine room kill one crewmate and severly injured several others. Rascun unfortunately was also in the room.
The accident took away his ability to speak, so Rascun was discharged from the Navy due to medical reasons, Rascun soon became a fishermen to pass the times. He went to the shooting range. He even started smoking a occasional pipe while resting. But, at the urging of some old friends, he joined their group trip to Faris Mountain. Having been separated, Rascun was soon found with a concussion and burns on his arms and torso[ The lighting blew him back against the rocks].
Other: A former sailor... Basically someone you get into a bar fight with, but who would buy you a drink afterwards.

hi I'm not sure how good this is but here
Name: Vilynra Luciravis Alias: (I dunno yet) Age: 17 ½ Gender: Female Appearance: Vilynra’s haircolour is hard to pinpoint; while it usually seems to be a rich chestnut, in stronger light it brightens to an orange-red. She’s grown it halfway down her back and usually wears it in a ponytail. Her eyes present a similar problem, with a pale turquoise that seems green one moment and blue the next. She’s about average in weight and height, currently wearing a white and black striped t-shirt and shorts. Scrapes dot her body, pretty much healed, though some are deep enough to leave scars. Costume: (dunno yet) Personality: Vilynra is an outspoken person, somewhat kind, but while it takes a lot for her to lose her temper, it would be a good idea if she didn’t. She enjoys writing and drawing, and always carries a pack with relevant materials. She’s left-handed and a vegetarian, and very touchy about both. Actually, she’s touchy about a lot of other things too. But she can be a nice person if you get to know her. Maybe. Power: Gales. Essentially wind manipulation, but hard to control and more “natural”. Abilities: She’s a good artist, and a decent writer. She’s intelligent, which along with agility/speed is her strength. Weakness: She’s not very strong, and her body’s more prone to damage than most. Her touchiness and her kindness both can prove dangerous. Biography: Average childhood. Family cat + kittens died, only one survived whom Vilynra is rather protective of. When she was about 14, her parents died in a car crash so her neighbours took her in. Her adoptive siblings suggested she visit Faris Mountain to sketch and enjoy the scenery, and she ended up in the hospital after she fell a little way off the ledge she’d foolishly been sitting on with what’s going to be a bunch of scars. Other: -Insert nonexistent code here- Vilynra has a cat named Lia, who goes with her pretty much everywhere.
by the way, can the cat has powers too? can I make CS?
