Navassa, a city of lies, distrust, and societal fragmentation- or, at least, it was before the "normal" citizens - the humans - were evacuated and the city was quarantined, trapping the mutants within its monumental stone walls, jokingly called 'The Great Wall of Navassa'. And during its three-year-long construction, the mutants retaliated, for they knew that they couldn't leave willingly. The city became a prison in itself, and the mutantkind fought for freedom and liberation, to little avail. The revolutionaries were detained by the military, which had been authorized to establish martial law over the city six years ago, when the 'Mutant Plague' had first revealed itself to Navassa. When the Great Wall was completed, though, the revolutionaries were released from detainment into the streets of a broken city, too far gone for redemption. Not a human soul remains in Navassa, with the exception of the frequently patrolling military servicemen and the humans that had chosen to stay for whatever reason. Besides the humans, the only life in Navassa consists of the mutantkind and the lingering memory of what Navassa had once been- a mere shadow of the past.
It started six years ago, when the mutants had first unveiled themselves for all human eyes in Navassa to behold. Professor London, the founder of London University, later named Mutant Academy, had not anticipated the fear and loathing from the humans when the mutants used their abilities openly in public areas. In fact, he had expected quite the opposite. The humans rejected, reviled, and retreated from them, perceiving them as dangers and threats to their lives. For two years, there was no military involvement, only a fragmentation in society; humans dissociated themselves from the mutants, and the bitter mutants from the humans. There were protests, slanderous lies, and violence from both factions, and Navassa was on the brink of a bloody crusade. Then the military stepped in and evacuated the humans, including political figures like the mayor, from the city, leaving behind the mutants to rot within the concrete walls of a ghost town.
Since the Great Wall was built, the mutants have wreaked havoc in the streets. Businesses were abandoned, markets and stores robbed. Factions formed, mostly consisting of street thugs, thieves, and criminals; one such faction is the Rivalry Union, a band of diverse mutants that are self-acclaimed rivals of the Mutant Academy because of their attempts to win the favor of the "human wretches". They have made numerous attempts to murder Professor Cedric London, but, despite the deterioration of the rest of the city, the Mutant Academy students remain strong and unyielding, and they will lay down their lives to protect the man who started it all.
Meanwhile, a third faction, who call themselves the Huntsmen, scour the perimeters of the city for a possible escape route through the Great Wall. Their numbers are small, though, and they are often ridiculed by rogues and factions alike for trying to do the impossible. But they happen to have a small piece of information that may change their mockers' perspectives- and their motives.
The city is scheduled to be leveled in two weeks, and if the mutants don't escape in that time frame, they will all be doomed.
```
FACTIONS AND ORGANIZATIONS
The Huntsmen- a small faction of diverse mutants whose sole purpose is to find an escape route out of the city by any means necessary. The Huntsmen is an infamous group among the mutants of Navassa because their attempts are so futile, and their numbers so small. They actually have a bad history of members that left because their faith in the group diminished altogether. However, the Huntsmen have vital information that can mean the difference between life and death for every soul in Navassa. The Huntsmen wear dark cloaks - or anything dark, for that matter - to hide themselves from view of the wall patrollers while investigating for a possible escape route.
The Rivalry Union- a band of street thugs, thieves, and criminals (among others) that intend to destroy the Mutant Academy and kill its founder, Cedric London. The Rivalry Union is composed of various mutants, all of which are discriminative against the humankind for their own discrimination against mutants; because the Mutant Academy has tried to find even ground with the humans, the Union has it made their mission to eliminate the Mutant Academy members. They started out as a small, inept three years ago, but have grown in strength and number as mutants came to realize that humans are merciless. Its members have no specific uniform, but they generally have alter egos to identify each other by.
The Mutant Academy- a school for mutants founded eleven years ago in 2002 by Cedric London, a psychic and time manipulator who felt inspired by other mutants to establish a school for mutants to familiarize themselves and train with their unique abilities. The training facility and school was disguised as a local university, however, as to not alarm normal humans; at the time, mutant existence was unheard of in Navassa. When mutants began to reveal their true identities, though, London renamed the school and made its purpose obvious. Legal actions were taken against the school various times, but fortunately it managed to bypass them. Members of the school have tried time and time again to prove their worth to the humankind, but the humans could not look past their singularities; when the city was quarantined, Professor London and his staff and students were left behind with the rest of the mutants. And since the Great Wall was completed, the Mutant Academy has been at odds with the Union. The general training uniform is a dark grey jumpsuit. Otherwise, members may wear a casual attire.

RULES AND NOTES
-Standard ROBLOX and RP rules apply. -You may either be a human or a mutant, but remember that humans are no longer common in Navassa. -Mutants are limited to one power. This is to avoid over-powered characters. -You must be accepted to begin. I'm expecting at least half-decent character sheets. -You may be a part of any faction, or you may be a rogue. Whatever you prefer. -Please stay on topic if discussing something out of character. I don't want the thread to be derailed. -Use common sense in this RP please. -Marvel/DC universes do not exist in this RP. -I will edit/add to this list as I see fit. -You may any power, with the exceptions of those that are very OP. If you don't know whether or not they're acceptable, consult me. I'll also allow unique physical characteristics (think of Mystique, Beast, or Nightcrawler from X-Men).

(reusing the same character for every power rp i join ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)
Name; Aya Ivyria Alias; Aya wouldn't have one Age; 15 Gender; Female Appearance: Her eyes are a color between amber, brown, and are rather round. They could be easily described as doe-like. Her hair is a silky black, short and cut above her ears, which appears choppy as she did it herself. Her skin looks to be rather pale, though her cheeks have a bit of a rosiness to them, her pores being large and visible. She's 5'5, and weighs about 100 pounds, though she appears to be a stick and is completely flat around her chest, though for her size, she's rather strong. She typically wears a loosely fitting white buttoned-on shirt with long sleeves that's rolled up to her elbows. She also has knee high socks that edges along a dark red sirt that hangs at her knees. Her feet dons a worn out, dull dress shoes. Aya also carries a small bag, which has many of her possesions, which include a few packages of matches in which she found in a store for free. Costume: Aya wouldn't have one. Personality: Aya is known to be rather hotheaded, though she doesn't really show it unless provoked. She's mostly brave, and isn't easily scared or intimidated by people she doesn't care to be intimidated by. Aya is also stupidly stubborn, and tends to be the one to not listen, often finding herself in trouble. She's also rather honest, and shows her emotions right on her sleeves, so it's hard for her to lie or hide her emotions, no matter how much she tries. Aya is also very loud when speaking, but is able to not make any sound whatsoever if she finds the need to do so, which is rare. Powers/Abilities: Her power is fire manipulation. Weaknesses: Aya can only manipulate fire and heat, though she can't start fires by herself yet, she needs a source to be able to use it as a weapon. Faction: Mutant Academy Biography: Aya was adopted. I'll reveal the rest when Aya feels like it, or if OP wants more information. Extras: I hope not! |

(Wondering if this is acceptable... going Hunchback of Notre Dame style)
Name; Samuel Moore Alias; He is often called "Sammy" and sometimes "Big Sammy" in a derogatory tone. Age; 39 Gender; Male Appearance: What is left of Samuel's hair has receded towards the back of his scalp. The front of his scalp is dominated by angry red marks, much like the rest of his face. One half of his face has grown much larger than the other due to the irregular and rapid growth of his bones. The entire right side of his body is much larger, covered with spikes and growths, and also permanently red and inflamed. His eyes are a bright, luminous green, and his non-inflamed skin is deeply tanned, lined, and weathered. He has pale, drawn lips and protruding cheek bones. Costume: He wears a massive welding glove over his right forearm, and a welding mask over his face. Over than that, he wears whatever clothes he can find. Personality: Powers/Abilities: His right arm is extremely powerful; enough to demolish a thin concrete wall or pick up a boulder. Weaknesses: Water applied to the right side of his body causes him intense pain, and he is extremely slow because he has to drag his club-like right arm. Faction: Rogue, because pretty much everyone loathes him. Biography: Samuel was once a scientist who worked in close proximity to the London University. He had a happy life, with a family and a well-paying job. However, the one thorn in his side was his rival in the business, Silas Burnham. According to an official report by the police department, Silas and Samuel reportedly engaged in an intense brawl in Samuel's laboratory which ended with both of them being splattered with a mixture of chemicals from a large cooling vat. The chemicals had not been heated properly and caused permanent mutations to Samuel. Silas Burnham, unfortunately, did not survive. Samuel, believed to be a murderer, was arrested, but he was released when the city was evacuated. He is now ridiculed, hated, and feared at the same time by most of the other inhabitants of the city.

Name; Annette Elizabeth Gray Alias; [if any] Not really, but she's trying to get herself known as 'The Shadow' Age; 17 Gender; Female Appearance: Annette has a petite figure, standing at 5'2'' and weighing 110 pounds. Her skin is a porcelain white color, inherited from her parents. A few freckles are on her face, but that's about it. She has thin lips, an oval-shaped face and round eyes.
Her hair is a very light shade of blonde, almost looking white. It falls to the small of her back. Her hair is naturally curly, which sometimes annoys her because of how tangled it always is. She always puts her hair up in some kind of ponytail or braid just to get it out of her face.
Annette's eyes are a dark, chocolate brown color. They stand out on her pale skin, and stand out even more due to her light blonde hair. She has thick, short eyelashes, though they are nothing to take note of. Her eyebrows are a dark brown shade that matches her eyes.
Costume: The usual Huntsmen clothing; a dark raven-colored hood, and a matching long-sleeved dress. Her shoes are beaten up tennis shoes. She wears a necklace that is extremely important to her, hidden by her cloak and dress. Personality:
//Soft-spoken, Reserved\\
Annette is reserved and quiet, but she can be loud when she is needed to be. She doesn't mind speaking up, but mostly she keeps to herself. She is slow to reveal her emotions or opinions about things.
//Empathetic (normally without power), Forgiving\\
She has an ability to put herself in the vision of other people, and how they see things. This allows her to share an emotion like pain or happiness with another person. She is a bit too forgiving and never usually holds a grudge against somebody, and she is quick to excuse.
//Depressed\\
Annette lost her mom when she was younger, and was never able to get over it. She was extremely close to her mom and when she died of cancer, Annette was heartbroken. Due to this event, she is always a bit sad and sulky. It doesn't help that she blames herself for her death.
//Fragile\\
Annette has always been a bit vulnerable and delicate emotionally and physically. If you mention her mom or any sad event relating to her past, she breaks.
Abilities: Ability to empathize (normally without power, but the power just enhances it), and she can get along with mostly anybody.
Power: The user can fully interpret and replicate the emotions, moods, and temperaments of others without reading apparent symptoms, allowing them to understand introverts or discover one emotion is actually hiding another. They can attack someone in a personal and emotional way since they know exactly what emotion is flowing through themselves and can use this knowledge to play against them. Some users may learn to read emotional imprints left into environment or objects.
Usually over time, an Empath's power grows to the point that they can manipulate emotions on others, and possibly use them to empower themselves. User may learn to extend their power over/on vast number of sentients or reach extreme distances, even other levels of existence but this may be possible only if the user has emotional link to those they search already in effect.
Weaknesses: [power offsets, weaknesses concerning skills, etc.]
Inexperienced Empaths may find their power useless in a fight May get taken over and act on those emotions Will probably experience headaches Defenseless against users of Apathy
Faction: The Huntsmen Biography: Not quite done with this yet… though she lost her mother when she was younger. Extras: ... |

Name; Barrett Iniko Alias; Psycho Age; 23 Gender; Male
Appearance: Barrett is about 6'4', with pale, sickly skin; and black hair. He is well-muscled, but he prefers to keep his body hidden. He has scars all over his body, and he is missing one eye. His one remaining eye is green. He almost always appears to be snarling, as if he is going to bite anyone who gets too close.
Costume: Costume? Clothing. Barrett wears black combat boots, blue jeans, and a gray t-shirt under a large black overcoat for hiding himself. He wears an eyepatch and a bandanna to cover his face.
Personality: When his powers aren't active, Barrett is a peaceful soul, only trying to escape the noise and the hate. He is not very intelligent, but has a clever, but reserved mind, and prefers to keep to himself. He does accept the fact that humans are ruthless, which led him to the Union. He is obedient to his superiors, and will follow nearly any order given.
Powers/Abilities: Barrett has the ability to throw himself into a 'rage state' that will increase his strength, agility, and killer instincts. He is capable of finding weak points in armor, and can see the critical points in a body.
Weaknesses: Barrett does not have full control over his rage state, and can swap personalities at any moment. His senses are nullified in the rage state, and he will attack anyone in his path. This has led to his dozens of scars, and the lost eye.
Faction: Rivalry Union
Biography: Barrett was orphaned as a child, and lived in city streets for most of his young life. During those years, his rage state was undeveloped, and he used murder as a means to quell the beast inside. When he moved to Navassa, he tried to turn his life around with the Mutant Academy. However, he was still unable to control the rage state, and was exiled from the Academy. He joined the Union a year later, and has used his abilities to further their goals since.

| (Ohh yes, Preston knows a trick with the Type 17. In a CQ situation with multiple enemies, he will hold the gun sideways, and start with the rightmost enemy, he'd fire the gun using the horizontal muzzle jump to create a deadly sweep, after annihilating a trio, he would take the gun, hold it up, take the special clip, he'd hit the clip where it's supposed to go, slam the bullets down, and carelessly fling the metal part that held the bullets away.) |
