Plot:
One morning, all of Group A wakes up in the same room. There’s no beds, no blankets, just them all sprawled out on the floor with a few tables on the left side of the room. Upon waking up, the characters discover they have superhuman abilities. After playing around with their powers for a while, someone notices a note on the table. On the note are instructions to protect the city because the old heros were defeated! Group A have to protect the city from the tyranny of Group B! They’re the only ones in the world who can do it!
Group A will wake up with no relocation of their powers, but if they have to have anything in order to use it (like Susan’s parasol), they will have it. They will know how to use their powers on instinct, but all in all, it will be very new.
Group B characters will know what they are doing and where they are. They will know how to use their ability and know that they are trying to wreak havoc on the city. They’ll have memories of being here whereas our heros will be new. Villains will not know the heros until they are introduced in RP, and vice versa, but villains will know one another right off the bat.
Group B will know they defeated the “old heros” and believe they have supreme reign over the city – until Group A comes along to oppose them!
Group A - Heros
Amy O’Neal –
She can stop time, but only for short periods. She can freeze everyone and everything, manipulate the environment, and then go back to her previous position before she brings everything back. Sort of like pressing a pause button on life, but she can interact with everything still. Her ability can only last for a few minutes tops (about 3) and she can’t kill or injure anyone in still-time. But she can rearrange limbs and people if she so desires (and can lift them). She cannot freeze time for anyone but herself. She cannot remove things like knives or bullet wounds from anyone in freeze-time, she can only move them and their limbs.
Arthur Summers –
Arthur can manipulate the wind. His ability is strong and influenced heavily by his emotions. He can use it anywhere there is oxygen and wind, so anywhere above land that's not air-sealed. Because his power is so heavily relent on his emotions, if he gets upset or angry enough, he can create hurricane-forced winds and even cause the clouds to funnel if he snaps. But contrary to this, if he is feeling weak in any way, his ability isn't as strong as it usually is which often leads to more self-doubt and a worsened sense of control over his power. Arthur is weakest against his emotions and water. If he is forced underwater where he can't use his air-manipulation to free himself, he's rendered helpless except for his own human strength. Often, he uses his power to fight with his sister. Sometimes they'll goof off or he'll prank her with his wind control over her parasol. He only uses this harmlessly against her though -- he'd never seriously harm his sister.
Ms. Susan Summers –
Susan has the ability to control gravitational force on herself and on others (though she's still working on the last part). She's strongest when working with others most of the time, especially her brother. While she can use her ability to make her body mass weigh more or less, Arthur can manipulate the wind around her and get her to float to her designated targets so she doesn't have to worry as much about control. Susan loves to mess around with her ability and, on its own, it is not really optimized for fighting (at least in her opinion). She is weakest against wind (which can maneuver her around at its own will) and fire, which can create heat that can weaken her control over her parasol. She likes to use her power to extend up higher and have fun, and dreads having to fight against any Villains.
Todd Bennett –
Todd can control his height. Think of the 'drink me' potions from Alice in Wonderland. He can become a giant (about 15 feet tall) or about as small as an ant. While this can be useful there is no 'middle ground' and it is either his normal height, his giant height, or his ant height. He often likes to be as small as an ant, but with that comes the danger that he is easy to squish. His body's width extends along with the height he stretches to -- so as a giant he's more durable than an ant-size. But as an ant, he's very agile and quick, but very easy to squash.
Group B - Villains
Chad Richardson –
Chad has poison touch. If he touches his victim for an extended period of time while using his ability, he can make his victim feel lethargic and slow, but his touch is also extremely pleasurable to the victim. So he’s kind of like a poison that latches onto the victim and the victim doesn’t want to let go until it’s too late. He can poison someone until they pass out, but if he holds the poison for longer, it can kill them (but that requires him holding onto his victim for 2+ hours) so he typically sticks to just getting them to pass out.
Rep: Chad operates his own area in the city. He lives in a penthouse and owns a monopoly on electronics. He tries to keep friendly with all his fellow villains and like to gloat about taking out the former villain’s ‘big macho guy’ Mr. Man (ignore the completely bullshit name) with his poison.
Shyanne Volle –
Ice manipulation. Shyanne can create ice and withstand freezing temperatures. She can create ice out of thin air and freeze any water she comes across. However she can’t control or manipulate any other form of water – just ice. She is freezing to the touch and demands to be called an “Ice Queen”. Her ability is very strong, but works best outdoors. She is weakest against fire, as well as her own vanity and ego.
Rep: Shyanne ‘owns’ a district in the city that she dictates and is “Queen” of. She has many minions and is very, very territorial even when it comes to her fellow villains. She’s protective of her lands.
Cliff Arkwright –
Insect manipulation. Cliff can control bugs and get them to form his own little army. He can see through the eyes of his bugs, so he has extremely tight knowledge of the city and its inner workings. His bugs can poison or bite other people. He can control any type of bug, including flies and bees, but he can’t control animals like dogs and cats.
Rep: Cliff works as Fletcher’s minion, and acts as his eyes around the city with his bugs. He lives in the same area that Fletcher does and crashes on his couch most of the time. He’s a moody teen runaway who is hiding from his step-family.
Hallie Grey –
Hallie has her own universe in her pocket -- the 'mirror world'. She can transport anywhere there is a mirror and can take others into the mirror world as well. Once someone is in the mirror world they can't get out unless the mirror Hallie took them in through is shattered by someone in the 'real world'. Hallie can move freely through the mirror world but anyone she takes into the world cannot leave -- but they can go to other mirrors and their reflection can be seen by outsiders. However if their reflection is seen and that mirror is smashed, unless it is the original mirror that she pulled them in through, they are not freed. Hallie can travel through any mirror of any size but can only drag people into the mirror world through long and wide mirrors. Her pocket mirror is her main mirror and if that mirror is shattered anyone Hallie has in the mirror world is freed. So, basically, there are three ways for someone to get out: Hallie takes them out through any mirror she chooses, the original mirror that she pulled them in through is shattered, or her pocket mirror is shattered. Inside of the mirror world, people have free will and can do whatever they want, but their abilities and attacks will not work on the mirrors or Hallie (the mirrors can only take damage from outside). Hallie often uses this ability to spy in places she shouldn't be and she's got ears on basically the whole city like this.
Rep: Hallie typically likes to know things. She's a snoop and, when it suits her, she'll sell her information to people who want it. Hallie is selfish and likes getting her hands on things. While she has the ability to take people hostage, she'll only do it if she can get something out of it usually.
