The End

Background Story

It's 2030, and the city of New York has dissolved into chaos. Now the world is but a ruined wasteland home to outlaws, bandits and other life threatening dangers. The cities have been reduced to ruin, nature already beginning to claim back the land as green struggles to penetrate the destroyed land. And why has this come to be?

Because Professor Sid Blackwood invented Prophase on the 22nd of Feburary, 2014.

In short, this substance was capable of genetically modifying humans, anything from medical cures or changing the way you look. Prophase is however extremely addictive to a certain extent, in that if you don't take regular infusions, you can suffer from mental and physical degeneration, and eventually go insane. Some users may die from the harrowing withdrawal symptoms, that include increased aggression, severe joint and muscle pain, loss of sight, hysteria and insomnia.

Eventually, this modifications became more and more assertive, finally developing into a powerful kind of weapon known as Prophins. They grant super human abilities. At first they seemed useful; the Army used them to create genetically powerful human beings bred and perfectly crafted for combat. But soon hunger for these powers broke out, and an illegal trafficking system emerged from the shadow of Prophins. Soon a global ban was put on Prophase, with a law being enforced that gave life in prison to those caught with the substance in their possession.

Then, the details of withdrawal from Prophase emerged.

Entire countries when insane with the need for Prophase, hospitals full to the brim of sufferers of the withdrawal. Then, things got violent. Fights between neighbouring countries, cities or even villiages erupted. Gangs formed and the price of Prophase soared as violent fights rioted in the streets. Goverments crumbled; their control over their countries gone.

With so little Prophase available, a kind of civil war broke out across the world; it was every man for himself when fighting for this precious substance in order to survive.

Plot

You are one of the residents of NY, the city torn apart from the use and demand of Prophase. You can be a user of one type of Prophin that allows you one power. Most of the residents currently still living are addicted to the substance and will do anything to get their hands on it (in order to preserve their sanity and even their very lives.)

But now, the creator of the substance has manufactured a new Prophin that allows the user to weild all of the powers currently available. He is now technically the most powerful man in the world, governing most of America. With promises of enough Prophase to last them a lifetime and of land and power, many of the outcasts are flocking to him for support, unknowing to his dreadful actions towards those who oppose him...

Anyone who dares to stand in his way will be killed. Then he will use a special piece of machinery to extract the previous Prophase from their system.

Who will you side with?


Prophins Available:

Name: Kiara Gillian Vandepeer

Age: 23

Gender: Female

Prophin used: Regeneration. Sixteen years ago, when the prophins were still new and distrusted, Kiara was the daughter of a very determined man and Sid Blackwood was seeking volunteers. Kiara was terminally ill and at just seven years old not expected to see the end of the year. Her disease was eating away at the cells of her body at an alarming rate but after being injected with the regeneration prophin, her cells started to renew themselves. In the early years of the cure, it was just enough that her body was able to run at the same level as any other human. However, as the prophins advanced, Kiara developed side effects. Her body would heal at a much faster rate than other children's and she became stronger and healthier than any of them. She began to notice that she could run further without tiring and that she could hold her breath for longer.

Other Weapons and equipment: Kiara has a small dagger she carries as a reminder of all that she's been through.

Appearance: Her face is one that has been on every television screen across the world. It was a rather ordinary face but is less so since her years of prophin use. In her youth, Kiara was a pale and sickly child with big, glassy green eyes and thin, mousy brown hair. These days everything about her is striking and vital. Her eyes are bright, healthy green, her skin is creamy, her lips are bold and her hair is a shiny dark brown. Some find it all very attractive but others are unsettled by how alive she looks.

Personality: A slightly troubled but grateful young woman. Kiara is at once both humble and eager to live life to the full. She's decidedly reckless and has poor instincts but usually means well. Kiara sometimes enters a melancholis state where she can spend hours thinking about how wrong everything is now and feeling that she is such a large part of it, so horribly intertwined with it but usually she tries to be positive.

History: Kiara owes her life to the professor. She spent her early years under his observation and even now she remembers that. Even after all the destruction he has caused. The world moved on from Kiara as the prophins became more advanced and she was mostly forgotten about. At first the government saw that she got all the prophins she needed but over time that stopped and her family were forced to fight for them just like anyone else. Kiara's father got involved with dealers and was later killed by an abuser. Her mother died of a weak constitution or possibly a broken heart not long after. That happened six years ago. Since then Kiara has been living life to the full, free of any family ties and most worries. She lives in any dilapidated building she comes across or sometimes out in the open and has had several close calls with death. She's kept in contact with the dealers her father knew and gets her prophins from them.

Side: For. Kiara supports all that the professor has done for people like her and believes it is humanity's abuse of the prophins that has caused the destruction.

Other: Up for love, might be possible to convince her to change sides.

OK, so I took the shadow thing, and changed it up a bit.

Name: Shadow *A nickname for her power, but she doesn't use her real name anywhere.*

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Prophid used: Summoning shadows. Some her friends had been for the scientist, and they had taken it as rebellion from their parents. The asked Shadow to take some, and so she did. She found that she could summon shadows, or bring shadows to her defence. They don't do much, but they help when battling. They attach the person, leaving them in pain for a moment and distracting them enough for her to attack or get away.

Other Weapons and equipment: Shadow has two daggers, a sword, and a bow and arrows.

Appearance:

Spoiler

This with a lip piercing, which she got because her parents didn't like it. And yes, her hair is white! She always has those shoes on.

Personality: She's a very mysterious girl, and half the things she says are lies. She's uptight, and serious all the time. She jokes every now and then, but that's rare to see. And when she does, everyone else jokes about it, and usually puts her into the serious mood again. She likes being alone when she's depressed, which she finds she is a lot. She hates silence, and she loves the sound of nature. She hates talking to people when she doesn't have to. She knows how to use her power now after five years of practice.

History: She was born in Estonia so she has a slight accent. She grew up with four brothers, but only liked the oldest one, and she hated her parents. She was always rebelling to make them mad, and her brother was just like her, which is why he was her favourite. Her friends talked her into taking the Prophase, but when her parents disagreed, she was all for it. Soon after, she found her power, but while practicing, she accidentally sent out shadows on her parents, and she didn't know how to bring them back, so they killed them. She blames herself, but that's what made her so uptight. Then, soon after, her brother fell ill, and soon died. She grieved as none of the others bothered, and moved out, not seeming to care. And here she is today, skilled in combat and now a pro at using her power.

Side:against the professor

Other: She is up for love, she loves to sit outside at night and listen to the sounds of nature, she always keeps a locket around her neck with pictures of her brother in it. (Disabilities, possessions, up for love... etc)

Theme: Monster By Skillet

Save me a spot of a wind controller (on the side of "For the professor")!

Name: Goes by Shock. Doesn't actually know her real name.

Age: 15

Gender: Girl (sorry!)

Prophin used: Electro-shock. She broke into Professor's lab and took it, so she could have an advantage over the authorities, who were hunting her down because of a murder she committed. She knew she could easily escape, but wanted to protect herself. She downed it, only thirteen at the time, and stole as many as she could. After first using her power, she passed out and woke up on the street, beaten and bleeding. She changed that day, becoming the hardened person she is today.

Other weapons and equipment: Shock has knuckle gloves with spikes fused into the leather, a knife, and a sword she stole from a museum.

Appearance: White blond hair, deep blue eyes, athletic build, tattoo of a pair of black feathered wings across her back.

Spoiler

That, minus piercing.

Personality: Being hunted for the prophins she has has made her protective, tough, and harsh. She can either command the attention of an entire room or simply fade away. She will kill without a second thought and seems emotionless at first. When you get to know her, she's sweet and honest, and is extremely concerned for what she's become. However, there is not a single person who has yet found a chink in her armor. She doesn't like bonding with people because they usually end up dead. She hates crying and takes out her anger, or sadness, through violence.

History: Shock grew up in an orphanage, where she was called Shock for her uncanny conductivity, and constant static-shocking of people who offended her. She was avoided because she just naturally knew how to kill someone with her bare hands. She snuck out when she was ten, and was immediately taken in by a gang who basically ran the city. The refined her skills and gave her everything she needed, including a loving family. They were wiped out by a band of the Professor's guards who had been offended by them. Shock swore upon her life that she would get revenge for her protectors. For the next three years, that's what she did. She hunted down each member of the band and killed them. She was thirteen when she killed the leader of the band- but a cop saw her. She ran, took the prophin, and escaped. The next morning, after finding her self beaten and bleeding (see Prophin used), her thirst for revenge increased, and she set out to survive, and take down the people who ruined her life.

Side: Strongly against the professor. He ruined every chance she had at a happy life, and made her into a bloodthirsty killer.

Other: Up for love, if you can get to her. The tattoo on her back is a symbol of the gang that took her in, the Fallen Angels. Loves, loves, loves sitting on the rooftops of tall buildings at night. When she uses her power, charges of white electricity run through her irises.

Theme: Faint, Linkin Park

Woot!

Name: Aylen Simms

Age: 18

Gender: Female

Prophid used: Pyrokinesis - she can manipulate fire. When she gets angry enough, her eyes literally light on fire, and they go out when she calms down. She can start fires out of nothing and can extinguish them just as easily. One of her favorite 'weapons' is a fire whip, where her entire right arm lights on fire and a whip of fire comes out of her hand. She can hit things with it or wrap it around something and pick it up. The most powerful thing she can do is make someone combust in a wheel of fire with a snap of her fingers. Shown at 4.28: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48hkqYL6 ... re=related She doesn't like to use it, and only does in serious situations. It drains a lot of her energy and makes her weaker. She can shoot balls of fire out of her hands and sparks out of her fingers.

Other Weapons and equipment: None ^^

Appearance:

Spoiler

She burned herself on her left shoulder blade when she was young, and the burn is shaped like a star.

Personality: Aylen is fascinated by worlds of fantasy. She lives in her vivid imagination and resorts to it to solve all of her problems. She has a short temper, but is very good at hiding her emotions, such as sadness. She's usually very optimistic, and tries her best to look at the bright side of everything, even in a world of turmoil.

History: Nothing much. Her parents were killed in a fight a few years ago, so she's been on her own for awhile.

Side: For the professor. She loves her powers because they make her feel like she's living in a fantasy world.

Other: Up for love. Her golden retriever, Soleil (pronounced: so-LAY), who she picked up off the street when she was a pup, has stuck by her through everything. She's friendly, but very protective.

Theme: Breakaway, by Kelly Clarkson (xD) Because even though the world has turned into a living hell, she still believes that someday, things will be okay, and she will find herself :3

Spot claimed for element earth mover and shaker!! I'll pop my profile up soon!

*Just a side note to all of you, (thanks for joining by the way. ) Those who are for the professor: He is gathering an army of genetically modified soldiers. He'll be holding a meeting stating what he wants his followers to do whenever we start the SB. *

Note: I made a mistake in the stencil, prophid should actually be prophin. I doubt it matters, but sorry for the confusion D:

@Kitty: Your power sounds fine, I'm totally okay with it.

Here is my charrie:


Name: Isaac John Wylde

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Prophin used: Ice. He can turn most liquid substances into ice. If the air is humid enough he can form ice projectiles in his hands, freeze other people so as they cannot move, create extremely sharp and pointed icicles, and manipulate hail storms. His body is perfectly designed to deal with cold temperatures and rarely has to wrap up. He can't stand being too warm; it often makes him slip into a state of delirium. His right hand, where his power is mainly used from, is burning cold to touch and heavy, as if it were made from ice itself. When he uses his power, small icicles erupt from his hands and skin up towards his elbow, and his skin itself freezes, turning an icy blue hue.

Other Weapons and equipment: Swiss army knife, shotgun.

Appearance: Sandy blonde hair with ice blue irises. He's tall somewhat lean, usually with a shadow of stubble over his face. He has a tattoo on his upper left arm, a tribal phoenix. Originally it was supposed to represent renewal to him after he left his home. He looks older than he really is, a hard life has made him old before his time.

Personality: Isaac is rarely fun or lighthearted; he is deadly serious at all times. He prefers to stick to himself though will be glad of company if someone sticks around him enough to break through his outer protective shell. He appears confident, recklessly fearless, but beneath the skin lies a broken heart and an empty soul. He lives for the sake of living, having nothing to look forward to and zero prospects now that the world lies in ruin. He is clever, strategical, and an excellent leader in some respects. He's not afraid to tell the truth and is often blunt and uncaring when it comes to speaking honestly with others. He comes off as rude, cold and even heartless at times. Heavy detachment is his way of showing his insecurity and hopelessness when it comes to any type of relationship with another human being. His greatest fear is fire, and he often has night terrors involving being trapped in burning buildings. He is hardy, streetwise and has a lot of intel regarding the local gangs and how they work.

History: Isaac was only three years old when Prophase was invented. He was a happy child; the drug didn't affect him or his parents in any way. Originally they steered well clear of Prophase, until a frightening truth emerged when Isaac turned six. He had a life threatening heart condition, one that could be monitored with medicine but certainly not cured. The doctor offered them a Prophin to mend his heart, and as long as Isaac was given regular shots of Prophase, his heart would trouble him no more. After a tough decision, they took the chance and gave him the Prophin to fix his heart problem.

Time went on, and as Isaac's health improved his parent's belief in the substance increased. Soon they were using it for everything; spot treatments, anti wrinkles serum and such. But then the ban emerged.

His parents did their best to get Isaac the Prophase he needed to maintain his heart at the cost of their own sanity. Without the drug they lost their minds, leaving Isaac to almost raise himself at the tender age of thirteen. His personality changed dramatically, instead of a carefree child he hardened, becoming serious, cold. Hatred for his parents grew; he saw them as weak for being unable to control their addiction. Then when he was sixteen, he witnessed a scene that was to change him forever. His father, unable to control his need for Prophase any longer, strangled his mother as she tried to hide it for him, as Isaac needed it more.

He fled from his home, with nothing but the clothes on his back and the box of Prophase his father had killed his own wife over. He heard him yelling and screaming behind him as he ran for his life through the ruined streets. He never saw him again.

He's been wandering the streets since, fighting for survival. As he was young, other street dwellers beat him and mocked him, stealing his food and water. At this point, he took an Ice Power Prophin to allow him power over those who stood in his way. He'll not hesitate to use it to survive, nor pause once he raises his gun to shoot down any who dare threaten him.

Side: For the professor.

Theme: Cold Desert by Kings of Leon

Other: His left shoulder is much weaker than his right as he dislocated it in a street brawl when he was younger. His only companion is a female tan and white lurcher named Trix, who he rescued from a collapsed dog pound when she was a pup.

Oh, and up for love, family and friendship. PM me for any offers!

Name: Dave Brighton

Age: 30

Gender: Male

Prophid used: Wind Control. As a US Army Sniper, it helped to have something that could help round people together, and that pulled it off best, and helped him be one of the top kill counting snipers.

Other Weapons and equipment: He keeps his sniper in his car or with him in guard posts, but on the run he uses only the powers. He can also use his power to move the bullets, and he also keeps a P90 pistol in his inside jacket pocket.

Spoiler

Appearance:

Spoiler

.

Personality: Dave is the true gambler. He can have a somewhat addictive personality, he takes the craziest risks, and he has it in his head that he'll win anything he wants, no question. Everything's a game to him, one that somebody will lose, but he feels lucky enough to never let that get him down.

History: An orphan in foster care his entire childhood, Dave had little interest in just about anybody, and nobody had interest in him. He didn't look for a role model in somebody else, but instead found it in the US army. He stayed fit and joined the moment he could, and aced it all. He had nothing much of anything to care for, so his country was where his emotion bonded with. The only thing he did other than training was gambling with other soldiers and cadets, and most of the time, winning. He quickly became ace soldier, demolitions expert, and his most famous position of being a commanding sniper. He was one of the best shots in the military, and especially thanks to his skills using his wind Prophin, ending with him picking off entire villages worth of military bases at once.
As one of the best users of his power and one of the most valued soldiers, he was sent to stay to be a commander in the professor's army / defense force. But like everything else, this was just a game to win. He didn't think it any different, even though this easily was one of the most important jobs he could be requested to. But the lack of importance and pressure helps him do his job better than many would imagine.

Side: For the professor.

Other: Dave's so consumed by his patriotism that he doesn't completely understand why anyone would want to go against the professor, but he thinks the people who think so need rehabilitation through bullets.

Theme: "Living in Chaos" by the Offspring.

Name: Melonie Jakobs (Meli)

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Prophid used: Clean

Other Weapons and equipment: a shotgun she has no idea how to use

Appearance:

Spoiler

Personality: She is reserved, and non-confrontational. She only talks when she thinks it's necessary, and lets her actions speak for her. She will tell her story if asked, but it takes a long time. In the heat of a moment,though, if someone she cares for is in trouble, she becomes fierce and protective. She just wants to stop everything that's happening, but doesn't know how. She is on a mission, and is set on revenge.

History: She was born to a happy, loving, family. Then, one by one, her 2 brothers and 3 sisters got picked off by the prophin side effects. Her parents died last. She, by some fourtone, had never taken the prophin, and she doesn't regret it. She feels horrible about what happened to her family, though, and has convinced herself it was her fault. Eventually, her boyfriend was forced into taking the prophin, and he died. She is out to kill the professor for what he did to her family and boyfriend. She has one goal in life now, kill the professor.

Side: Against

Other: Up for love, always wears the claw necklace you see in the picture.

Theme: Breathe (2am)

When can we start?!

I'm taking the Mind Reading ability, but I'm changing it up a bit, if that's alright. If anything needs to be fixed/changed, let me know!

Name: Merik Petersen

Age: 22

Gender: Male

Prophid Used: Mind Reading. Merik can read the mind of any person, conscious or not, within a twenty foot radius of himself. He can also project thoughts into the minds of others to influence their decisions, but cannot actively make anyone do anything. He can also create small psionic blasts, which has the ability to overload another's mind and cause them pain, loss of consciousness, and possibly memory loss. This, however, takes an extreme amount of concentration which leaves him oblivious to his surroundings and potentially vulnerable. He also receives a slight backlash from using this ability, so he only does so in emergencies.

Other Weapons and equipment: Small handgun and electric shock baton.

Appearance: Merik has slightly curly dark brown hair that reaches just past his chin and striking blue eyes framed by thick eyebrows. He stands at 6' 2" and has a slim, slightly muscular build and tanned skin. There is a slight stubble upon his chin, but he usually manages it and keeps it trimmed. He has a tattoo of a quote on the inside of his right arm, which reads, "The best blaze brightest when circumstances are at their worst".

Personality: Despite living in a crumbling, violence-ridden world, Merik is unusually lighthearted. He does have his fair share of troubles, both past and present, but he tries not to let that weigh him down. He is good at keeping calm in tough situations and his biggest delight in life is making people smile and laugh. He's a bit of a goofball, and has been called eccentric more than once. He is not, however, immature, and he knows when the time calls for being serious and controlled. He does his best to avoid confrontations of any sort, and will instead work to break them up, even if it means he gets hurt in the process. He tries to live by the quote he has tattooed on his arm, and will pass on that message to anyone he comes in contact with that he feels needs a little bit of a pick-me-up.

History: Merik was born in south Florida, but moved to New York when he was young. His father was a surgeon and his mother a florist and avid gardener. They were never a very wealthy family, but got along fine. That was, until Prophase was invented. His father started taking it within the first few years, having been approached to be a volunteer. With it, he was able to stay awake longer, and began taking longer shifts at the hospital. After that, Merik rarely saw his father, and his mother adamantly refused to allow herself or her two children to be exposed to it.

That ideal did not last long. When he was eleven, Merik's older brother, Josh, was recruited into the military and given the Prophase to take to enhance strength and endurance. Josh was then shipped overseas and sent into battles that were blown out of proportion by the use of the new substance that Josh had been given. Within months, Merik's brother was dead, and his mother slipped into a depression that she never emerged from. She began paying less and less attention to Merik, and eventually he gave up trying to cheer her up and moved out when he was fifteen. He went to stay with his uncle, Ramsey, who introduced him to the mind reading prophid that he still takes. After the ban came into existence, Ramsey disappeared - assumed dead - leaving Merik to fend for himself. Since then he has inhabited his missing uncle's small apartment in Queens.

Side: For the professor. Merik does not blame Dr. Blackwood for the death of his brother. Instead, he sees it as the government and military's fault, and his father's absence from his life he blames solely on his father. However, he could easily be convinced to change sides, as he teeters on the edge as it is.

Other: Up for love. He broke his left hand a few years back after his uncle disappeared and he had no means of obtaining more of the prophid. The withdrawal was so bad, even after only two days, that he resorted to physical pain to distract himself. He was able to get more soon afterward, but his hand never healed properly, and he is unable to make a full fist.
