The Law of Humanity

[Kung_Fu_Master]

Humans have it easy. They have boundaries to keep them safe. They have sit up rules to keep others in their place and places for their younger selves to learn and act under these rules. Humans live in a reality preset and unchanging. Or maybe not.

Welcome to Cornet, a city like every other except one day a month ago everyone woke up somewhere (some in odd places) to find four things have happened to Cornet

1. No one can enter or exit the city.
2. Their are only a few hundred people and ages only range from 13 to 21
3. No one remembers who they were or what they were doing prier to one month ago except their name and age.
4. Everyone has some strange power.

This is my experiment to you, the RPer, to see what humanity is outside their comfort zone. Think of it as some survival story with sort of a Scifi Fantasy twist. Based off a story I'm writing. Please, no zombies.

Rules and regulations: because even in a lawless game their still has to be rules.
1. You must follow the four preset oddities. This means no one from outside the city, out of the age range(but if they grew older at this time it's okay), or remembering who they were before one month ago.

2. No GODmoding or the like as well as no overwhelming mega ultra superpower (EX. are but are not limited to.: The power to deny reality, create anything you wish without hard work, to kill [in any way] someone just by looking at them, or bring the dead back to life.) Please limit yourselves. If you can limit one of previous well enough I might let you use it.

3. A lot has happened in a month. The characters can but are not limited to: being alone or in a group trying to solve the mystery, control the city through force or hospitality, just trying to save others, or doing their own thing.

4. Please be original in character design. Do not use some other persons drawing for your characters full profile. You can use it for an example of similar hair or clothing both not both. It really ticks me off when people do that.

5. The city is somewhere in America. It is okay to be foreign, in fact I wish most to be, but not every single one being Japanese or something.

6. Have fun. If you need to ask something or if something has not been answered to a good degree, please ask.

[AnimeFoxGirl]

Power: can control light and dark energy

Personal Info: She woke up in a dark alley with no memories of herself except her name. She discovered her powers soon after and from then on has tried to recover her past and information about herself. She DOES help other people from time to time, but most of her time is spent away from them.

Other: Her light and dark energy manipulation uses up a lot of her phyiscal strength and can kill her if she uses it too frequently.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Name: Hane Koorasean

Age: 15

Gender: female

Appearance: short sunny blonde hair, amber-brown eyes, wears a pink puff-sleeved shirt and light blue demin capris and brown pennyloafers. She is 5'2''.

Powers: can manipulate wind, allowing her to fly and create powerful tornados.

Personal Info: She woke up on the rooftop of a 10 story skyscraper and can only remember her name and that she has an older sibling. It's only minutes later that she discovers her powers and is currently on a quest to find her sibling.

Other: She is strongly allergic to trail mix.

[rocklobster]

Name: Josephine Vince
-Age: 16
-Gender: Female
-Appearance: Josephine has brown eyes and brown hair with blue streaks. She has a scar over her left eyebrow because she fell off a building when the incident causing everyone to have powers occurred. She does not know how she survived.
-Power: She can regenerate injured body parts in herself or others. She's kind of like Claire on Heroes.
-Personal Info: Josephine has been trying to figure out how much pain her body can now take. She often tries "death-defying" stunts and attempts to kill herself, but is surprised that her body is able to snap itself into shape as if nothing has happened. She is very kind and believes that there is some greater purpose for those with powers.
-Other: Her powers have limits. If a person has been dead for more than three hours, she cannot help them. She's also been learning how to fend for herself and is a decent cook. She has a Calico cat named Patches who has also been affected. Patches can actually talk!

[Kung_Fu_Master]

Ella Edric: Simple yet still unique. I can't wait to see her in action.

AnimeFoxGirl: Interesting character designs, and sisters too, I'd like to see were this goes. Though I do have some peeves. Could you describe Sasaria's powers a little more? I don't fully understand it. For Hane, a full out tornado may be a little too strong, a mini tornado would be okay. lol on the trail mix.

rocklobster: I was wondering if anyone was going to do this power, thanks. I really love the talking cat. Mind giving him a bio? My only problem is the time limit. Three hours seems too long, may be thirty minutes or so would be better.

[Ella Edric]

Thanks!^^ Am I allowed to have more than one charactor in this RPG?

[Kung_Fu_Master]

Yes, but only up to about four.

[rocklobster]

PAtches is a she and will be the story's resident deadpan snarker. (for the record, most calicos are female) If you don't know what that means, then you probably aren't familiar with Garfield. He's a great example of a deadpan snarker. OK, I'll change it to half an hour. Besides, then Josephine won't have to worry about stenches. I'll create a villain for you later if you like.

[Ella Edric]

-Name: Hawk Leonard
-Age: 18
-Gender: Male
-Appearance: Dark brown eyes, almost black. Black, spikey hair. Always wears black and/or dark colors. He has scars all over his body and a hawk tatoo on his back.
-Power: Hawk can look at you and make you feel scared. He can make you see darkness, or your worst fears. Whatever he wants to make you see. When he touches you he can cause intense pain. It doesnt kill.
-Personal Info: He is a very dark person. He is very quiet, and mysterious. He first awoke in the middle of the night in a burning house. He bairly got out alive.
-Other: Inspite of his darkness, he can be kind.

[rocklobster]

and here's a possible villain:
Name: Carlo Mare
-Age: 21
-Gender: Male
-Appearance: Has Hazel eyes and blonde hair. He tends to wear 60's style clothes.
-Power: Can take over people and make them do his bidding
-Personal Info: Carlo discovered his abilities and has been fine-tuning them. He enjoys turning people into his mindless puppets.
Other: It is possible to resist his commands to a point. However, one must have exceptional will power to pull it off.

[Kung_Fu_Master]

Ella Edric: Again, very good character. Note to self: get him on matt's side if possible.

rocklobster: I was just thinking of making a character like this, drat. Mind control is a good idea, the only down side is you can't force someone to do something they don't want to do already, just place the idea in their head. I'd love to see him in action.


the recent characters with mind powers has made me realize something with Matt's powers and personality I don't think I stated, think of this as an update. His shield can block only physical attacks. Mental and concentrated force(on one spot) are the only things that can get through but it has made his ego grow to the point he thinks he's invincible and nearly fearless. His only fears are dying slowly and a world without women. He is a pacifist but will fight if only to make it quiet.

[Ella Edric]

I cant wait for this to start! <3333

[Vega]

Name:Cole Henderson
Age:15
Gender:Male
Appearance:Dark Brown eyes and Black hair.He wears dark clothing and usually wears his sunglasses despite the amount of daylight.
Power:He can go through most surfaces.(Like Shadowcat!)
Personal Info:Cole fears his ability.He tries to use it as little as possible.Hes very paranoid and anxious.He feels that everyones condition is punishment for something they must have done in their unknown pasts.

[AnimeFoxGirl]

AnimeFoxGirl: Interesting character designs, and sisters too, I'd like to see were this goes. Though I do have some peeves. Could you describe Sasaria's powers a little more? I don't fully understand it. For Hane, a full out tornado may be a little too strong, a mini tornado would be okay. lol on the trail mix.

Well, with Sasaria, her light and dark powers involve being able to shoot light and dark energy beams from the absorbtion of light from anything that's bioluminesecent (like light bulbs and such) and the absorbtion of darkness from shadows from dark corners, alleys, and corridors. (no KH puns intended )

As for Hane, I meant that she can potentially create powerful tornados, but doesn't really put out that much energy to do so as, like Sasaria, Hane's powers require her physical strength and if she were to actually create a powerful tornado, that would basically kill her or at least have her close to dying, and in fact, miniature tornados are what she normally uses to defend herself anyway.

I hope that clears things up. ^_^

[Kung_Fu_Master]

Vega: Yeah, a ghost-er. A fitting personality, I may even let him pass through matt's shield.

AFG: Okay thanks. That makes sense.

I'll wait for a few more players that look into it before I ask to start this so ask around for more people please.

[rocklobster]

kfm, is my villain too powerful for you?

[Kung_Fu_Master]

rocklobster: No. As long as you remember you can't force someone to do something they don't want to do he should be finely limited.

[RidleyofZebes]

'bout time I got involved with another RP. This can be practice for the next one I GM. Lol Btw, this RP reminds me a lot of Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor. I love that. I'm sure I'll have more ideas later. For now, though, I'll start with one character.

-Name: Timothy Wade (Tim) McLane
-Age: 17
-Gender: Male
-Appearance: Jet black hair, green eyes, thin build. Usually wears a t-shirt and jeans occasionally with a black hoodie over the shirt, regardless of weather. Rarely seen without headphones.
-Power: Tim is capable of creating doppelgängers of himself. He doesn't know how or when he does it. They are exact replicas of himself, but they never talk, and he's never seen one wearing his hoodie. They also avoid being seen by him. Tim has only seen them as shadows and reflections, but he knows they're there. These phantoms are usually triggered by emotions, he's come to find out, but Tim hasn't figured how to consciously create them yet even after a month of experimenting. He's getting close though.
-Personal Info: After waking up lying next to a dumpster a month ago with no memories from before, Tim has had little trouble existing in the lock-down of Cornet. He set himself up in an abandoned motel room and has been using it as a sort of base. The doppelgangers are causing him to become paranoid, though...
-Other: Loves music, sometimes turns it up to drown out all other noise.

--

Also, I have a few questions about the barrier-thing. is it transparent? Could you, say, see an airplane flying overhead to remind you that there was a civilization still out there, somewhere? Or is this like one of Haruhi's closed spaces?

[Davidizer13]

Lemme make a couple:

-Name: Stephania Andersson
-Age: 17
-Gender: Female
-Appearance: Short (about 5'), but solidly built. Has light skin, straight, shoulder-length dark-brown hair and dark blue eyes. She wears dark (not black), muted colors, in the form of jeans and jackets, as well as a polished malachite pendant.
-Power: She can fire bursts of compressed air, which can push around objects or people with tremendous force.
-Personal Info: She woke up on a bed in a suburban house, which, as far as she can tell, is owned by her family: pictures of her, a couple in their forties (her parents?), and a younger, teenaged boy (a brother?) adorn its walls. From there, she was able to wait out the initial period of anarchy that wracked the city.
-Personality: Calm, quiet, cautious, level-headed; some might call her shy.
-Other: Sister to Max Andersson. She prefers not to fight, instead choosing to run away when given the choice. Her goals are to survive, find out what happened, and possibly to escape the city, not necessarily in that order.

-Name: Max Andersson
-Age: 14
-Gender: Male
-Appearance: Dark brown hair, brown eyes, light skin. A bit on the tall side for his age. He wears brightly-colored shirts, some with annoying/overused, supposedly-sarcastic sayings on them.
-Power: Electricity. He can shunt high voltages through any convenient conductor. For this purpose, he carries a conductive aluminum pole, which he wields like a sword.
-Personal Info: He woke up in a locked car, in the driveway of a large house. Fortunately, he was able to unlock the doors from the inside, and then decided to head downtown, to hide out and to carry out his goals. Along the way, he found his weapon of choice.
-Personality: Brash, quick to anger, and impulsive, he is everything his sister is not.
-Other: Brother of Stephania Andersson. In the absence of any rule of law, he has decided to take on that role, by force if necessary. If someone's going to run things, he'd rather put himself in charge and use his powers to hold that role. What he hasn't realized, however, is that everyone else in the city also has powers...

[Kung_Fu_Master]

RidleyofZebes: Nice idea for a power. As for the barrier...thing. Let me come up with something right quick. Yes, there is a barrier and it is transparent but it's more like at the edge everything just stops. The road and even some buildings just stop, everything past it look like a long, flat, drawn out desert. The sky is still there and does change from day to night and back but that's about it. Many have tried at getting through but all have failed.

I can't believe I forgot that part.

Davidizer13: Very nicely done character designs. There is just one problem. In the personal info it sounds like they remember their past and that can not happen. I have a certain reason(that I hope to reveal in this RP) for this so if you can, please change it.

Everyone: We seem to have a good amount so I'm either going to wait for two or three more people or Friday to ask to start, which ever one comes first. In the mean time I want to throw this at you. A CHERRY PIE!!!!!

But in all seriousness. I'm planning on doing this in a sort of Arch system. There will be a short introduction arch followed by some story arches. The only problem is I have no story ideas and am thus asking you, the RPers, on my knees for help. Just run some ideas and maybe even titles by me and we'll see where it goes from that. The person who's arch I choose well be the Co-GM for that arch but don't let that discourage the rest of you for I well go back for some past ideas and choose one of them. So let them fly (not the pies) and let's have some fun.

[Davidizer13]

KFM: I fixed my characters; how do they look now?

As for story arcs, you could do something about the lack of electricity, food, etc.

[Kung_Fu_Master]

Divadizer13: Much better. For your story I might wait to much later or right near the end but that does sound like a good idea.

[RidleyofZebes]

lol I wanna ask one more question. Cornet... You describe it as a city, but what kind of city? How big is it? Are we talking something big meant for lots of people like Akihabara/Times Square? Or a more of an urban sprawl/little dusty town? Or a nice comfortable medium?

[Kung_Fu_Master]

Ridley: It's a fairly large city. Think of Birmingham(and side towns) but a little more compact and with more trees. For the rest of you, think of Manhattan, NY but not as compact and more spread out trees and living places.

Edit: I was planning on describing it in some what better detail in my first post so if you can wait till then.

[RidleyofZebes]

Ah, okay. That'll be fine. I'm done with the questions for now. Sorry for rushing you! >_<;;

[acgifford]

-Name:Layla Hawk
-Age: 19
-Gender:female
-Appearance: short, lightly built, bright green eyes, A-line hair cut, black hair with bright green streaks. Wear's darkwash skinny jeans, a short leather coat, long green and black striped shirt. She wear's large hoop earings.

-Power: She can weild the power of fire.
-Personal Info: She is sassy, a little unapproachable, and can be quite cold towards others.
-Other: She happens to be a loner.

Lemme' know what you think of my character KFM.^^

[Kung_Fu_Master]

Ridley: No problem man.

acgifford: It's good to see some other people are still interested, not bad.
Edit: She took care of the problem.

Everyone: Come on. We need some story ideas before we can really start.

[rocklobster]

Maybe we could have my puppet-master villain leading a troup like some pied piper.

[RidleyofZebes]

Somebody gets a foolhardy idea that he can break through the barrier. Obviously, it won't just not work, but will get himself killed and others, too.

In a delivery gone awry, an important something ends up in the wrong hands (high-powered guns falling into the hands of a street gang?) and must be recovered before said item is used for the wrong reasons.

haha I'm just throwin' random crap out there. I prolly will have some more when I'm not so tired. lol
