Heroes Storybook

Setting: This Storybook will take place all over the globe in the early part of 2008.

Plot: Ordinary people all around the world are discovering that they are Extraordinary, but who said being extraordinary was a good thing? Those finding themselves as special must decide whether they were meant to save humanity or destroy it. Some will come together in high hopes, attempting to change the world, while others will try with all their might to tear everything apart.

Characters:
-This storybook is for original characters only. If you have the same ability as someone on the show, specifically Sylar or Peter, at least make the character's looks and personality different.
-Your character can't be super powerful or anything like that. So no time travelers or reality warping. You can still do stuff like stop time, just not significant forward or backward travel.
-We can't have too many people in the same place. This is a global thing so live in other places too. You can meet others if the story calls for it, but you have to justify this somehow.

Rules:
-You can only control someone else's character when role playing with them directly and you must keep the character IN character. If it's obviously not, we will ask you to change it or you'll be thrown to magginarls.
-Out of Character discussion should take place in the topic titled "Heroes Storybook Discussion.
-You don't have to be someone with an ability. We also need regular people who are part of the Company and just average people who get pulled into this crazy world.

Profile Example(mine):

NAME: Adam Russo
AGE: 23
GENDER: Male
LOCATION: Miami, Florida
HAIR/EYE COLOR: Black, reaches shoulders and parted down the middle/Dark brown with specks of yellow
OCCUPATION: Photographer for Miami Tribune
GENERAL BUILD: Stands at 5'11" and weighs 135lbs. He isn't in bad shape because of his mostly outdoor job and being on the move a lot to get good pictures.
ABILITY: Empathy- the power to sense and feel the emotions of those around you. Stronger empaths are able to push their emotions onto other people.
BACKGROUND: Adam grew up in Salinas, Kansas, and lived there up until his graduation of high school. During those 18 years he was always the kid who sat quietly in the back of every room and was at home every weekend with nothing to do. Wanting a change of pace, he moved to Miami five years ago and became a photographer for the Miami Tribune, hoping to become more socially active. He always had a problem expressing his feelings and tended to keep them bottled up for extended periods of time, but in the past couple of months it came to a point where he would feel random emotions that seemed to have no cause. So he signed up to see a psychiatrist and get to the bottom of his problems.

Ooooh, good idea.

Name= Marianne Saunders
Nickname= Anne
Age= 22
Gender= Female
Location= London, England
Appearance= Tall with long, dark brown hair and dark green eyes.
Ability= She can bring inanimate objects to life (is that too strong?)
Background= She's lived in London most of her life. She went to private school until the age of eighteen and then was enrolled at and graduated Durham university. Her course was Graphic Design and now she's returned to London in search of a job. She is currently renting a small flat not far from where her parents and younger brother live.

Name: Sable Smith

Age: 22

Gender: Male
Location: Hitchen (a small town not too far from London)

Appearance: 6’ 3”. African. Scar on the left side of his neck from when a schoolmate went after him with a nail gun (poor childhood much?). Harsh stare. Quietly spoken.

Ability: Sable’s childhood (read invisible) friend Janus can see into the past and future. Even though Janus is, for all intents and purposes, real, Sable’s mental condition is by no means clear. Sable believes Janus to be a figment of his imagination, and has no idea about the ability.

Background: Afflicted with a childhood friend who just wouldn’t go away, severe headaches and irritability, Sable was diagnosed at the age of eleven with severe schizophrenia. However, Sable has been able to deal with his condition with the help of only mild medication. Thrown between foster homes during his early years, Sable became highly introverted (which is blamed in part for his schizophrenia). As he had to move around so much, he made few friends and was involved in many fights at school. At the age of fifteen he was fostered with a single woman. Though his previous fosterings had usually ended poorly, even violently, he was never seen to have any difficulties with her. She made her living as a fortune teller. When Sable was 19, the woman died of a heart attack. Sable is casually employed for menial jobs.

Name: Gianina (Goes by Nina or Gia) Antonelli
Age: 26
Gender: Female
Location: Sparrow Creek, Maine
Hair: Curly brown
Eyes: Brown
Occupation: Hospital nurse, fresh out of college
General build: Tall, at 5'7 and with a little muscle. (Nina has no car and walks everywhere, or else takes the bus)
Ability: She can leave her body and travel through the world as a "ghost" that has a sort of positive energy aura. (Positive energy, meaning that those she contacts as a "ghost" will have very minor injuries healed.)
Background: The daughter of a rich businessman, Gia was raised on a diet of strong education and encouragement to join the family business. Having no taste for managing and a much more empathic nature, she decided to become a hospital nurse and moved to Maine. The ties to her family are a bit strained at the moment of the story because of this (their operations are centered in Florida). She spends most of her free time with her best friend, Jamon. Despite her spiritual power, she is not sure whether or not she believes in God and belongs to no church.

Jamon Perry
Age: 29
Gender: Male
Location: Varies. He works for the Company, and as such travels for about half of the year, though he lives in Sparrow Creek.
Hair: Dark red
Eyes: Blue
Occupation: Agent for the Company
General build: 5'8, slim.
[No Ability]
Background: A spy, planted next to Gianina Antonelli, who the Company has great hopes for. Despite his best efforts, he grew quite fond of her and does his best to be her friend before he has to betray her. He came into the Company thusly: his brother had a power, and was spirited away by the Company. He vanished with only a phone call to his brother: "The Company has me now, Jamon, so don't you worry about people noticing a glowing man..." Jamon serves, moving higher so he can find his brother. He speaks several languages fluently and has a glib, pleasing nature.

At the beginning of the storybook, he is traveling in China.

* Topaz Lauren and Seine Michel are Alicia's split personalities
