Heroes Volume 1: Weakness {RP}

Icarus · Sep 20, 2009

This RPG is based on the TV show Heroes. Don't know what it is; look it up. You don't need any knowledge of it to join though.

Evolution. It is a fact of life. Organisms grow and change to adapt to their surroundings. But sometimes that evolutionary step can turn into a leap. Around the world people are taking these leaps. This is the story of some of them.

Diego lived a normal life in Miami. He went to school during the day, occasionally went out during the weekend. He was a teenager. Then one day things started getting strange for him. One day at an art exhibit while pointing out pieces of art something happened. Diego pointed out a vase and moments later the vase exploded into millions of pieces. People shrugged it off as someone being clumsy and knocking it over. But Diego couldn't help but think that it was his fault.

Strange things continued to plague Diego though. Burn marks began to appear on things he touched. Things exploded when he touched them or pointed at them. One day Diego decided to sit down and tried to focus. To his surprise he was able to create a sort-of beam from the tip of his finger. Diego began to train and after a while he was able to control it. Then one day while strolling through the internet he received an IM. It came from someone under the name of "Destiny"

Destiny: You need to find them.
Icarus: What are you talking about?
Destiny: The others just like you. They need your help some are beginning to fall.
Icarus: Dude, I don't know what you're talking about.
Destiny: FIND THEM!

The printer next to the computer roared to life and began to print out a list. A new message popped up on the screen.

Destiny: Find them. They need you.

"Like, Oh-My-Gaaaawd! We're in Florida!" Sarah's chattered in her Californian dialect to Robin, who was patiently waiting for the airplane to empty out so she could get her bag. "Like, I can't believe you invited me out here. This is sooo great! I'm getting a tan, and all the guys back home will-"

"You know, how is it that a Valley Girl like you end up in Boston, anyhow? I mean, what exactly compelled you to move?" Robin finally asked, before thinking to herself, I still can't believe that I still haven't asked her this up to this point. . .

"Oh, you know, my father got a job and traded coasts. Yeah, so, beach?"
"Not until we visit my aunt."
"Like, remind me again why we're going to your aunt's in the first place?"
"Because my uncle just died and she needs some help getting ready to move out."
"Oooooh! Like, that makes sooo much sense now. Wait, is she moving to an old people home?"

Robin let out a sigh of annoyance and didn't respond, grabbing her bags and making her way off the plane and out of the terminal. Once outside, she hailed a cab and made her way into the heart of Miami. . . .

Hope got out of the passenger seat of a very old looking tan car as it pulled into the front yard of a house in Miami Florida. She walked around the front of the car and was there on time for the door to open. A very lost looking old woman was sitting there "Do you think you can help me dear?" she said to Hope.
Hope nodded "Grandma if you cant get yourself in and out of the vehicle yourself what makes you think you should be driving?" she said, amused but a little irritated as well. The old woman laughed "We got here alive thats all you should worry about." she said. Hope laughed "Ok well I need to leave soon is there anything else you need help with?"
The elderly woman shook her head "No you go and get to work on time. I can manage from here."
Hope nodded "If you need anything just call ok?" she said as she turned off of the front porch and back toward the driveway where she had left her own car. She flicked her mess of blonde hair over her sholder as she opened the drivers side door.
She heard her grandma call her over her sholder "Oh and Hope? Make sure you stop by here on your way home tonight. I need help moving out some of Jackson's things." Jackson had been her grandfather who had passed away only a few weeks before Hope had arrived in Miami. Her grandmother was still trying to get things back together again after her loss.
Hope nodded "No problem." she called as she got into the drivers seat. She could already tell she was going to be late. She turned the key in the ignition and pulled out onto the road. She frowned, moving so far away from home was supposed to be to get away from family so how did she end up helping her mothers mom every day after work? She figured this must be a cruel joke played by her dad to make sure she stayed out of trouble.

Hayden had just put the money he had aquired into three sperate bank accounts, He hadn't spent much of the money, yet. He had bought himself a new suit and a motorbike. He was now heading towards a house dealership looking for a cheap but suitable place to stay. After two hours of looking at houses Hayden finaly saw one that he liked.

It was a three bedroom house each with and ensuite and a single bathroom down stairs. It had a kitchen/dining room, a sitting room, an attic and basment and a nice pieace of land to top that off.
And considering that it came furnished Hayden made an offer and had moved in by that afternoon.

Hayden then decided he would go shopping and buy himself some new cloths other than the suit he had previously bought and some grocerys. When Hayden got home he cooked some dinner and after he had eaten decided to call it a night.

He went to bed that night with a smile on his face for the first time in three years.

Milo booted up his computer. He waited a moment before accessing the internet and tgen his e-mail. He had two new messages. One was an ad, deleted instantly. The other though was marked ??? With a confused look he clicked it. After getting a single glance he deleted it and shut his computer off. He ran his hands through his hair and sighed.

"Again. That guy just doesn't give up." He was refering to the message. About two weeks ago he recieved an e-mail from someone that called himself Destiny. This person not only told Milo that he knows where he lives but that Milo had powers. The message mentioned that someone would be coming to 'collect' him for the cause. Milo deleted that message and blocked the person from messaging him. A week later and another e-mail from the same person telling him to be ready. Milo hasn't had a decent night sleep since. Somebody was watching him and he was freaked out about it, but you wouldn't know it unless he told you. He's kept the same distant personality to others he did before this started. A couple friends noticed something was up but he passed it off as not feeling well.

"How is what bugs me. How did he find out about me?" The first e-mail had arrived a mere day after his return home from mastering his powers in secret. Milo made sure nobody knew and yet this 'Destiny' found out. Milo shook his head and got up. He'd think more over a sandwhich.

Tom was lying asleep on a bus. It was about mid-day. He was having a dream. The dream.... Well it was a strange one. One moment, Tom would be some place, then another moment he'd be in another place. And some of the things that happened were just completely random (But seeing as how the dream has no revelance to the story, I digress).

A beeping noise woke Tom up. The sun shone in his eyes. His cellphone was beeping. He looked at it. It said he had a new text message. He read it, and then hit reply. "Be patient. I'm going to Miami like you asked. Just leave me alone right now. You already got me in trouble at home, just so I would go to Miami." Tom texted. Clearly, Tom was angry at whoever had sent the text.

Tom had been on the bus for the past few days now. He looked outside the window, seeing the 'Welcome to Florida' sign as they crossed the state border. Tom reached in his pocket, feeling his money, knowing he was running short. He closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep again.

The whine of the AC filled the room sending in a sense of madness to Diego. The constant scream and pull of the gears and fan felt like water torture to him. He wasn't going to drown but, oh sweet god, did his body tell him he was. He turned over in his bed, trying to look away from the computer on his desk. New messages were bombarding him from all his messenger accounts. But he knew perfectly well who it was. The same person who had been contacting him for the past few days.

His phone lay on the floor next to his bed, off. He didn't want to turn it on after having mysterious calls, texts, and voice-mails clog it up. He had learned that much. Multiple crumbled pieces of paper littered the floor. They were the multiple copies of a list of names he had been receiving for the past few days. Every time he got rid of it another one popped right back out. He had given up after the first few hours and the last copy lay on the printer.

The still silence of his room was broken by his radio. It had suddenly turned on by itself and began searching for a station. A heavy, broken, robotic voice drifted out of the speakers.

"Find them."

Diego bolted up from his bed and looked at his radio as the words continued to repeat over and over again. He covered his ears, trying to block out the message. This provide futile as they seeped through his palms and continued to register in his mind. He finally couldn't take it anymore and screamed at the radio.

"STOP IT! STOP!"

The radio did not comply though, and continued to chant it's incantation trying to brainwash him. Diego could feel the tears begin to well up in his eyes as the radio continued it's onslaught. He couldn't take it any longer. And finally, he broke. He let go and fell down back on his bed.

"I'll do it... I'll do it... I'll do it... Just please stop."

The radio heard his plea and shut itself off. And like a domino affect the computer messages began to disappear one by one until only his background remained. Diego got up from his bed slowly and walked over to the printer. He picked up the list and looked at the names. Most of them had locations some had only question marks. He folded the list and placed it into the pocket of his jeans. He grabbed his phone, wallet, and keys and placed them into his pockets. He shut everything off in his room and closed the door to his room. Before leaving he looked back inside for s second, knowing he wouldn't be back in a while.

Hayden woke up to a unfamiliar noise beside his head. Sitting up he went to pull a knife off of his belt and realized it was missing. Hayden than noticed the unfamiliar surrondings, his attention was then brought back to the noise. It was the alarm clock he had purchesed the day before.

"Hahaha" Hayden laughed to himself, "It appears my mind hasn't ajusted to the cushy lifestyle as quickly as my body has" He said with a smile on his face. Hayden jumped out of bed and went to his new en suit bathroom.

Hayden then got dressed and went to the kitchen. He then realized he hadn't bought anything for breakfast the preivous day. Decideding he had nothing better to do that day he grabbed his motorbike keys and and headed out for the day.

Nova · Sep 24, 2009

It was still dark outside though Hope could see a comming sunrise as she walked down the front steps of her apratment brushing her hand through her hair to get it out of her face. It was weird she had only been her for about a week but she didn't really feel out of place... until she could still see a few boxes in her room she still needed to unpack. She smiled a little and sat down on the front steps, a book that her grandmother had given her the night before in her hand. She remembered they found it in the attic while removing some of her grandfathers things. The book was a diary from her grandfather's time in WWII. Her grandma had wanted to get rid of it because of the memories it brought but Hope had found it facinating. She put it in her car on the way out to the garbage can to throw out some other things.
Now, Hope flipped through the pages but most of them were blank or too worn from age to really read. She shrugged thinking it was still an interesting thing to have around. She looked around the streets in front of her house as the sun was about comming up over the horizon she could see people beginning to come from their houses and get in their cars for their diverse plans for their day but Hope wasn't sure what was in store for today for her. She had the day off for work and it was a weekend, she didn't have classes. She shrugged and walked back toward the door "I guess now is a good time to have a look around." she said as she turned around to lock her front door and then started walking down the street, not really paying attenton to where she was going. She knew she would find her way back eventually.

Icarus · Sep 30, 2009

Dawn.

Light was still creeping over the world as it was greeted by a brand new day. Birds chimed in the day with their joyous calls and songs. Diego only saw the darkness in this world. While they sang their plastic songs people died and someone was hunting him. He continued to walk down the barren street, his footsteps the only sound that he heard. Every now and then a series of steps made him jump. His mind was racing. He imagined a man in all black chasing after him. It was possible but he couldn't push the thought aside as false. Someone was after him and he knew it.

Diego passed by a house and something caught his eye. At the end of the walkway there was a newspaper. On the front page in bold letter the story screamed. "MYSTERIOUS MURDER."

He picked it up and started to skim through it.

"Police are baffled by the latest murder in Florida. A young man was found dead in his apartment. Police have yet to release details but preliminary reports say that the young man had the top of his head sawed off. Police are baffled as how the assailant entered the room as all the doors and windows were closed from the inside and there seemed to be no forced entry.
The killings seem to be moving closer and closer to the city of Miami. The first case started up north in New York with the slaying of predominant political figure, Nathan Petrelli. Foul play was involved as Mr. Petrelli was set to give a speech the next day. Since then 13 murders of the same nature have occurred. Police are hoping..."

Diego trailed off and dropped the newspaper back to the floor. It was true. Someone was coming for him and more like him and he was meant to stop them. Up ahead Diego saw a girl walking towards her. There was something about her that attracted her. A feeling of belong. Slowly, she inched closer and closer to him.

Desert Warrior · Sep 30, 2009

>Sylar copy-cat. lol. Btw, it's Nathan Petrelli, not Parkman. I'll fix it for you.<

"Excuse me sir, we're here." The bus driver spoke as he nudged Tom awake.

It took Tom a few minutes to clear his senses. He looked around. He could see the sunrise off in the east. "Thank you." Tom said, getting up. He grabbed his stuff and walked off the bus. He looked at his phone. "Okay, where to next Destiny?" He asked the phone.

No reply.

"Of course." Tom gritted through his teeth. He walked towards some food building in Miami.

Nova · Oct 1, 2009

Hope sighed, jeez early in the morning and it was already freeking hot! She wasn't exactly sure how she was going to survive living here already. She thought she saw some movement from the corner of her eye but she realized she was walking somewhat into the center of town, of course she was going to run into other people eventually. But she couldn't help but get the feeling she was being watched. She shrugged "Small town girl gets clasterphobic in the city... typical." she muttered to herself, rolling her eyes. Though she looked back... just in case.

Moogle · Oct 1, 2009

"Hm? Looks like we're at my Aunt's house. . ." Robin sighed as she got out of the car. She then asked her companion, "You coming?", going to the trunk of the cab and pulling out both suitcases. The two of them paid the cabby and went up to the house, unlocking the door using a key that was sent to her. "Auntie?"

Her aunt appeared out of nowhere, the old woman having been in the kitchen baking cookies - which seemed like a maternal gesture of the fifties, but who was Robin to judge? Her Aunt showed the two of them to the room that they'd be sharing, a guest room with two twin beds. Robin thanked her, and the two friends began unpacking.

Nova · Oct 1, 2009

For a long while Hope tried to ignore the feeling that she was being watched. She considered walking again but just then she saw him. A boy walking alone. He looked tired and pale and honestly kind of annoyed. Hope immediately felt shy and creeped out. She considered just ignoring him and just keep walking but then she sighed and looked straight at the boy, after making eye contact with him for a few seconds she said "You know, if you take a picture it might last longer." she said to him sarcasticly.

GrandShadow · Oct 1, 2009

Milo once more booted up his computer. However he didn't get very far. No sooner had he clicked the start menu when the screen went black. In green text, words started typing themselves.
MiLO, yOu WilL bE RecRuITEd. HE iS oN HIs waY aT THis moMenT. AttEmPT To ruN ANd hE WiLL fiNd yOu.
DestINy

Then the computer went back to how it was before. Milo just stared, as if he expected it to do a trick. "He's coming... who's coming?"

Click to expand...

She spoke to him. Her words were sweet and precise but they flicked at her like a sharp spike, poking him with her sarcasm. He spoke back in a quite, timid tone, imploring forgiveness in every syllable.

"I'm sorry.... I didn't mean to... You just seemed so different from the rest."

He walked up behind her, standing right by her side.

"If I frightened you, I'm sorry."

----------------------------------

Sunshine.

It sickened him. He stayed closed to the shadows of the alley way watching the sick people walk right past him, not noticing his hideous snarl. A small alarm went off in his mind alerting him to the presence of someone. He looked up, greeting the sun-baked palm trees that swayed in the oceanic breeze.

He felt his body melt into the surrounding area, leaving the alleyway empty at sight. But in the corner of the alley a bloody body lay crumpled-up. The eyes of the person, a female at closer inspection, open and glazed over. Her face was that of pure fear and terror.

Nova · Oct 5, 2009

Hope was suprised by how very confused and sincere this person was. She sighed, "Yes, you did. I'm sorry if I came off strong." she said after a moment. This may not be the way you normally meet people where she was from but what she had said had still been rude. She looked at him, trying to figure him out through his eyes without success "What is your name?" she said, trying to be more polite.

Icarus · Oct 5, 2009

Diego lowered his guard and let out his usual clumsy self. He stumbled around and stuck out his hand waiting for hers to meet his.

"Oh, sorry sorry, I'm Diego. I live just a few blocks down the street."

The young girl raised her hand and met his own. They shook and for a second Diego could feel a small electric surge travel from her hand onto his. He let go her hand and put it down, feeling the sweat begin to develop on his palm. He secretly wiped it off on his pants and looked up towards the girl.

"So.. uhh.. what's your name and where you from? I don't think I've seen you around here."

He looked into her eyes and knew that there was something more to her.

----------------------------

Another small alleyway. A cat hissed at the dark figure from the opening at one end of the alley. Without taking noticed he continued to eye the two figures on the sidewalk that talked on the sidewalk. Those were his next targets. He would have attacked right there but there were too many people around. He would have to wait for his moment to attack. Like a proud lion he stood in the shadows, waiting for his moment to pounce.

Nova · Oct 8, 2009

Hope smiled a little "Thats because I only moved here about a week ago." she said casually. When they had shook hands, Hope couldn't help but notice that there was heat or something in his hand, static electricity probably. "And my name is Hope." she added after a moment as she reached back to push a strand of hair that had come lose back behind her ear.

RebelMurf · Oct 9, 2009

Hayden had just had gotten his order of a full Irish breakfast, He wasn't to sure what the difference was between the different breakfasts, he figured the Irish one may be made with some alcoholic beverage instead of butter, but he couldn't taste anything off.

"Thank you" Hayden said to the young waitress who had brought him his breakfast, "May I also get a cup of hot chocolate?" Hayden asked smiling at her.

"Certainly sir, I shall bring it out to you now" she said giving him a wink.

Hayden smiled and continued to eat his breakfast. Suddenly he heard a loud crash and heard someone shout "That's him!"

Looking up Hayden saw three guys who he recognized from the drug cindicate that he stole money from.

"Here is your hot chocolate sir"

"Save it for me!" Hayden said as he quickly sat up "Ill be back in a few" Hayden said smiling to her.

Hayden started walking away when he saw more guys coming from his escape route. Hayden turned and saw that he was practically surrounded. Looking directly behind him he saw a couple talking to each other, Hayden then realized that there were no men coming from that direction deciding it was the safest route to take Hayden began to run. Suddenly something struck him in the back of the head making Hayden loose his balance.

Hayden could feel the burst from his lungs as he felt the man he had knocked into landed on his stomach. Sitting up Hayden placed the man's glasses onto the table were the young woman was sitting "Sorry!" Hayden said as he pulled the man to his feet. Looking up Hayden saw the men were closing in. Hayden took off down a small alleyway. He planned on circling around the restraunt while hopefully loosing the guys who were after him.
