The Story
Stories tell of those with special powers that could never be explained, but, in the age of technological advancement and science, those stories have been brushed aside as fairy tales or myths meant to explain the inner workings of the world. And yet what should be impossible exists, though the ones who possess these powers hide among the people deemed “normal”. The people are known as Outliers. For some, hiding is easy. For others, blending in is a challenge that is difficult to overcome.
Because of this, a home was created five years ago by a woman named Melanie Brooks for children burdened with hiding their abilities. Opinion on the home is divided among the adult Outliers. While half of them believe that its existence is needed, the other half believe that the children shouldn't be sheltered from the rest of the world.
A radical faction of the latter of these two groups split away and declared war on the home, vowing to use their powers to destroy the home and all that oppose them. Melanie, in return, swore that she would never let the children come to harm and hid the home away using her ability of illusion. Though it had disappeared from the eyes of the majority of Outliers three years ago, children still find their way to the growing complex.
Despite her best efforts, danger still looms on the horizon for the children of the home. The radicals continue their hunt for the home and its occupants, coming closer and closer to its current location each day...
Characters
There are several options for your characters. They can be an adult Outlier from either side, including radicals. You can also play the role of a child at the home, whether they have just arrived or have been there for the entirety of its existence. A third option is to play the role of a normal child who is friends with one of the younger Outliers, having coming to the home with them. Any of the Outliers can have up to two powers of whatever you want, though they may not be able to have them if they're considered god-modding.
You can have up to two characters at the moment, though that might change in the future. Also, though Melanie is listed as a NPC, please run any actions she does in your posts by me first.
The templates are listed in the spoiler. Please delete anything in the parentheses! That information is there to help you create your character(s).
