WELCOME!Hello, fellow writers. I'd like to take a second and thank you for clicking on this interest thread. I've been working on this story idea for a while now and this is actually the idea for which I created my first male character. Thank you so much for considering this story and writing with me. You should know that, while I am using my characters to RP in this thread, they are to eventually be written into a grand story. I mostly wrote this bit to thank you for your interest and assure you that this is a RP and none of your characters would ever be used for my book or any other purpose. :)
Plot:This story is about a company with hardly no name which exists with nearly no confines. It is headed up by five of the most powerful people in the world. The company hides behind the institutions we all take for granted. Corporations. Banks. Governments. National militaries. Police systems. Hospitals. Gas stations. They are everywhere and, to put it blankly, they are the true Illuminati. Before you picture men in black suits, I want you to picture a network of smart, hard-working individuals. Doctors. Scientists. College Professors. Businessmen. Engineers. They have formed the Illuminati, to create amazing constructs without inhibition. This is their world.
In the many facilities that the Company owns, there is a small psychological ward in Beijing, China. It has many residents but none of them are truly patients, though they are all treated like that. They are meta-humans, gifted with extraordinary powers. They live as wards of a private mental health institution. They are experimented on and used for new genetic experiments. This is also their story. The jobs they are put on to ensure the survival of the Company, their relations with the other experiments that they call family, and the intrigue and politics of their captors.
The experiments have a variety of powers, from level 1 to level 7 based upon their magnitude. Some can create matter or manipulate the fabric of our universe, while others can only shoot spikes out of their fingers. And after hundreds of years in captivity, they are ready to make their own world. This is chapter 1. Some will leave the Company and form gritty, real super power teams to defend the things they care for. Others will be tricked or goaded into a life in gilded chains with the Company. This will be the pre-lude to a great war. What side will you take?
More Depth For Board Members:These people decide what will make them the most money and give them the most power. They are obssessed with population control, economic failures in various contries, global warming, and other things that threaten life on Earth. When they encounter problems such as polution in the water, an uprising in a country they don't want turning too volatile due to precious resources, or a variety of other global matters, they speak to their facilities in order to deploy members of the Company to help solve those issues. They choose when to terminate facilities and are working towards the goal of World Domination. For now, they remain in the shadows of government and wait until the world is so lazy that they will not notice the takeover. That is, they won't notice until it's much too late.
More Depth For Minor Scientists:These people are at the core of the Company. They live and operate as hidden agents everywhere in our world. They can be found everywhere you look, often with one or two easy to hide experiments that serve as their tools. These scientists choose how to deploy mutants to clear up polution issues, reduce populations, lower crime, and numerous other things that they are assigned to handle. When things go wrong, they often take the blame or shove the blame off onto one of their experiments. They can form good relations with those they have control over, but it is rare and they would often rather socialize with the other scientists that are in the field and working towards a better future. The scientists are normal people, working towards a better tomorrow. The only problem is the cost it will inflict on the slaves forced to create it.
More Depth For Experiments:These are the slaves of one of the largest corporations on the planet. They have no rights, no way to say no/yes, and no concept of freedom. They are the true people on the front lines, serving the humans that created them. When not working in the field, they are kept in small, Company-owned, mental health facilities. They are given mixtures of drugs and sedatives to drain their will power. None have ever escaped their fate. While some may be given long leashes - as in the case of the experiment known as Scarlet, they are all deprived of freedom and free will. These are the ones tasked to use their powers for "the good of man". In reality, it is always for the good of the Company.
Setting!This is set in our modern day world. At this stage, most of the board members hide behind politicians, national leaders, religious leaders, and other icons for the general populace. In 2016, the governmental system is turned into a puppet's stage with five people pulling the strings and determining what way the world will go.
The story, as the plot shows, will take place in numerous areas of our everyday world. Some mainstays will be the mental health facility in Beijing for our experiments, the Company's private offices in Japan for minor scientists to congregate, and the hidden station at the bottom of the ocean, code named Atlantis, for the Board Members. These will all be fleshed out in further detail when I make the OOC thread. :)

1. Raven. - Experiment.
2. Ace. - Experiment.
Rules!Okay, this one's not as fun and peppy to write. It is essential though. So, here goes. :)
1. Grammar and spelling. This will be taken less seriously than in an Alpha thread and if you have concerns, feel free to PM me. I understand this can be difficult for some people so I promise I will be lenient and patient in this area.
2. No more than ten people may participate in this thread. If there are more that want to join, then it will come down to availability, character quality, and ability to plot.
3. Superpowers for the metahumans/experiments must be checked by me first. This is, for the most part, to prevent god modding and ensure some characters are more powerful than others.
4. If, within a grace period of two weeks, you have not answered, your character will be subject to possible termination.
5. Please use the rules and forms to start drafting. Don't post your character forms here, only ask questions or ask for a specific character.
6. If there are any questions, PM me in a respectful manner and I'll get back to you ASAP! :)
7. Have fun!
. That's the big one, really. :)
Extra Rules:
(If you want to start drafting, look here. If not, don't worry about it yet. For rules 6 and 7, I request that you wait until we have more characters to choose from and backstory.)
1. All powers must be checked by me, via PM. If you don't do so, you will not be allowed to use the character.
2. You must ask me before taking a board member.
3. The Plot Ideas section is for plots you want that are public! If you want some super secret twist, PM me and we'll discuss it. ;)
4. Mutations are physical changes. (I.e. wings, scales, etc.) They are not powers and do not require my verification. If I see something that I don't like, I'll discuss it with you via chat.
5. Strengths and weaknesses may discuss mastery over your abilities/powers, but not the powers/abilities themselves.
6. If you are a minor scientist, then you will be assigned to an experiment. Do me a favor and request the one you want to be assigned to, in the requests piece.
7. If you are an experiment, you will be assigned to a minor scientist. Do me a favor and request the one you want to be assigned to, in the requests piece.
(Other rules will be added on the actual thread.)
Are you interested?I hope I have at least caught a few people up on this thread.
. if so, post any characters you might like, preferrably ones that aren't taken. I'll take a look at them and start adding you onto the team that will make this RP a reality.
