WELCOME TO THE FEAR OF THE NIGHT ROLEPLAY

We will keep this first iteration simple so those not familiar with text-based roleplaying can get their feet wet without drowning :).

This round we will do a superhero/supervillain role-play!

To join all you have to do is submit a super short character application. The format is below.

Character's Name: Can be a superhero moniker or just a plain ol' name.
Age: Self-explanatory.
Type: Alien (think Superman), Mutant, Chemical Reaction (think Spider-Man).
Powers: Short description of powers, no god mode! (e.g. Can manipulate atoms, control fire, telekinesis etc. Be creative.)
Alignment: Good, Evil, Neutral
Short Backstory:

That's it. Pretty simple, eh?

SETTING

Our story will take place in and around Central City, so always keep that in mind for context when writing.

PREMISE

Good against evil, again, pretty elementary.

"My application was accepted, what now?"

After your application is cleared by me you are free to jump into the story. Now this is where it can be daunting to newcomers, where do I jump in? Think of it as an interactive short-story, so if writing isn't your thing this is a good place to work on writing!

I will be the moderator this round. All the moderator does is keep the story on track, set context and keep it fresh. I will also play a character. If you have any questions please feel free to message me.

Don't be afraid to jump in!! I will be posting my example introduction.

GOOD:
Mnemosyne (SimTrippy)
Bob (Pancakesandwhich)

VILLAINS:
Kresh (NotAJediOrSith)



NEUTRAL
Mandy Lynn (FloppyFish)
Lucy Stones (Nani)

FOLLOW THIS FORMAT PLEASE
If you are speaking as you and not your character you are OOC (out-of-character). That is fine, but ALWAYS use the bold tags when doing so to differentiate it from story. I expect anything not bolded to be a part of the story. And try not to post one liners or anything that doesn't progress the story.

If you want to reveal your character's thoughts just tag them with asterisks.
Example: *There is nothing to be done,* thought NotAJediOrSith.

ANYTHING IN ITALICS IS SETTING THE CONTEXT. IF YOU POST FROM A DIFFERENT CONTEXT THAN THE ONGOING STORY, PLEASE TAG IT

    The sewers of Central city were a place of extreme grime and filth. Every morsel of trash from the city above seemed to find its way down inevitably. However, that very facet of its nature provided an almost impregnable safe haven for criminals and the unsavory types.

    Kresh stood alone in the sewers, eyes closed in meditation. He reached out far and wide with his magic to try and sense others with powers. Others he could lure to his haven and recruit.

    OOC: This run will be incredibly simple, if we do well we can look into making it a bit more immersive next time.

    Sounds fun!! :)
    Character's Name: Mandy Lynn
    Age: 14
    Type: Alien
    Powers: Control others emotions
    Alignment: Neutral
    Short Backstory:
    Was born in the faraway alien land of Sixam, where everyone had their own powers. Mandy Lynn, born with the ability to alter the emotions of others, was shamed for having such a "weak" power. People in her town had the ability to fly, or shoot fireballs, or summon an ocean wave from the ground. People called her names, and bullied her. She got angry because of this, and one night, packed her belongings and ran away, as far as she could go. She was still angry, and sad, that people had treated her poorly, and as a result, wanted to make other people feel the pain that she had felt, and become a villain. But she knew that wasn't fair, or kind, so she remained neutral. Everyday, she struggles to find even the most basic things, like food and water, and is scared for the future.

    OOC: Well, if you want something interesting, try something lame xD I did altering emotions, NO-ONE picks that xD But it should not be totally useless. Make it useful, but not too op, if you want it to be interesting (least that is what I find interesting)

    OCC: Zinnia, if you're still thinking of powers, I got some ideas for you:
    -Ability to size up and down objects
    -Alter one's thoughts for a certain period of time
    -Xray vision
    -Levitation (LEVITATION- not flight. Slightly less op version of flight xD)

    I'm thinking Invisibility. But when they use it they can't breath.

    Central City
    Kresh emerged from a manhole, dressed in plain clothes. If he was going to pull off any of his desires he must have some help. And he had an idea of whom he could call upon for help. The youth and mutants. A volatile combination seeing as the mutant community was shunned and a taboo.

    On the street corner he noticed a lamp post covered in all manner of pamphlets. A particular one that caught his eye was a missing poster with the picture of a young woman on it. She would do nicely, a runaway with nowhere to go. And she had to be the presence he'd felt all morning.

    Kresh closed his eyes and projected his mind, calling out to the girl named Mandy Lynn.

    "Don't be afraid, it's okay. I can help you," projected Kresh as far as he could.
