Life in the Shadows- OOC and SU

​

Living in the Shadows​

Theme- YouTube - Augustana - Stars and Boulevards​

A long time ago, Government was sinking money into a project to create super humans to assist them in World War I. The project was never finished in time and was ready for World War II, but due to the next generation that it worked on, they were to power hungry to listen to government, so their powers were removed. The experiments seperated into two seperate groups, one group that was used for piece but still wanted to get their powers back know as 'Knights', the other to get revenge on government and to take over the world with their powers known as 'Shadows'. However both groups disappeared after many, many years.​

In the year 2000, with the change of the centurary normal humans who were descends of the power humans gained their own powers. Some of the older ones started recieving their powers earlier, but didn't realize it. Now though all the powers are popping up, the two organizations are coming back and are at war. The Knights are out to helping human kind in secret identities almost like super heroes; The Shadows are going after the human race, killing many inocent people as they try to gain their ultimate goal of taking over the world. ​

Today government is going to do something about it by slowly killing off ALL super humans. The Knights agree to leave the cities and countries by moving to a secret under water home, however The Shadows refuse and have just gone into hiding avoiding government. ​

Your Life​

You are either part of The Knights, The Shadows, or part of Government. Each group has a different life, The Knights live in their own underwater homes, but they watch the human world and when a human is in trouble, a knight is there to save the day. Their goal though is to live in peace as regular human protectors. The Shadows live with the humans in hiding, usually coming out only at night. Then Government is self explanatory, they're normal humans living in the human world out to kill all Super Humans, they don't plan to rest until they do. ​

Extra Background Information​

Just some extra background information, the main setting will be in New York City. Life is pretty much how it is today for us, poor economy, war, difference is that you can change government, like if you want a different governor of New York or something, that's fine, whatever. Up in the actual story I didn't mention anything, but for the two Super Human groups, there can be a veteran someone who has been around since World War I but may appear maybe in his 50's. He can't be as strong as the other members, in fact he may be the weakest. The strongest power being is the leader. Each group needs at least 3 members, so you can make up to as many characters as you like and be on different teams, but we won't start till we have 3 members for each group.​

This is my first RP since my return, so let's make it a good one. ​

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~​

Appearence-

(minus the head in the back)​

Marcus is a tall 6'9" man who is well built. Surprisingly for his super powers, he doesn't have muscles puffing out of him. He has midnight color eyes and jet black hair. He always appears to have a serious appearence to himself. ​

As his super hero outfit when he had one, he had a super hero outfit similar to the DarkKnight/ Batman. He didn't wear a mask though, he just had dark sunglasses. Now though in hiding and when he goes above ground, he wearing denim like black suit pants, a plain black t-shirt and a midnight blue long coat.​

Personality- He is real serious and doesn't usually joke around. When it comes to protecting people, he does it the best assuring they don't get a single scratch. Very rarely is he seen laughing.​

History/ Bio- Marcus started recieving his powers before the century change. He started recieving his powers almost 15 years ago. He knew about his powers though, but when he first started getting them he couldn't control them. When he was recieving them he had a beautiful wife and rumoured to have a child. Due to not being able to control himself he left his wife and moved to New York City where slowly he learned to control them. He finally had his powers undercontrol he was going to go back to his family but an event happened that changed his life making him know he had to use his powers to help people. The event that occured happen September 11, 2001. Seeing so many people die because of war and another country hating the U.S. government angered Marcus, this caused him to create a super hero to help out the world, or at least New York City.​

He became known as a super hero by the name of Jet Black, the story created for his birth was when the planes his the Twin Towers he was born from the shadows and smoke. He lived that life for a long time. ​

A few years later in 2007 he went to go save a normal looking girl from a gang of super humans. He learned though that she had her own powers. She still took his help to fight off the gang. She ended up becoming one of the first people to get close to Marcus and became sort of like an apprentance to him. She took on a super hero being as well being known as Lunar.​

When the time came where super beings were being killed he became leader of The Knights and they moved to a secret underwater cave in the Hudson River. The cave still had ways to get up to the city, and it was large enough for over 500 people to live in. Now as leader he works to save his organization, humans, and hoping that one day they can all live in peace again. ​

Other- He has no vengence on anyone, his super hero name and still is when saving lives is Jet Black. ​

Name- Nicole Johnson
Age- 16
Human or Super Human- Super Human
Side- Knights
Powers-
Pychic- her powers are of pychic powers. She can move things with her mind(as long as they aren't to heavy), she can speak to other people through their mind, see into the future, read other people's mind(only if they leave it open and unguarded), and she can create a power force in thin air, much like Gwinn in Ben 10 Alien Force, however she can't use that power to much, she needs to meditate every morning and every night to do it and keep control over them.​

Weapons- she has a small knife and not so much a weapon, but she knows martial arts
Appearence-
super hero-
​

normal-
​

Nicole has long light brown hair and green eyes that can appear to be turquose sometimes. She's tall for most girls, but not real tall. She's about 5'6". She often will look curious or serious. ​

Nicole usually wears normal clothes like most teens her age. As a super hero though, she wore any outfit much like the top image, long black boots and long sleeve cut top. When forced underground and comes above ground, she wears her super hero outfit.​

Personality- Nicole is a strong couragous sort of girl. She's curious a lot and very smart. She also has street smarts. She likes to have fun in free time and joke around. As a super hero though she's either real serious or real calm.​

History/ Bio- Nicole grew up on Long Island New York. She lived on the beach with her mother. Her father disappearing when she was 1 so she doesn't know much about him. As for her mother, she loved her a lot. She would hang out with her often. In her free time though, she spent it down on the beach.​

When Nicole was 6 she remebered sitting on the beach as the rest of the world countdown the New Year. She however didn't like the feeling and she pictured her mother drowning and getting washed out to sea. She quickly went home and told her mother. Her mother told her not to worry about it.​

A year later though, Nicole could tell something wasn't right about her because she could read the teacher's mind, move things in gym class, and more. Her mother also watched TV about a super hero called Jet Black. Nicole didn't know, but her mother did. However, her mother ignored for as long as she possibly could.​

When Nicole was 9 years old, she sat on the beach the one day letting the waves hit her feet. She soon fell asleep, but only to awaken to alarms and the waves not hitting her feet, but the waves were farther down the beath than usual. She stood up and had the same image she had 3 years ago. She soon felt the ground shaking and she ran home quickly to tell her mother about the alarms to find her mother fast asleep in bed. She woke her mom up and her mother heard the alarm and told Nicole about her powers and that they needed to get to high land before a tsunami would hit. It was to late though. It hit the house and Nicole watched as there house was crushed and she was pinned under some wood and she watch her mother drown and be pulled out to sea. ​

After that incident she moved to New York to live with her aunt who was only 26. Nicole didn't like her aunt to much, her aunt wouldn't watch her, or help her with school work or anything. It was finally when she was 13 she found an escape when a gang surrounded her on her way home from Coney Island. She was learning to control her powers, but she wouldn't be able to fight the entire gang. That's when super hero, Jet Black saved her life. Jet Black also was able to save her life from her aunt and help her more with her powers as she became his super hero apprentence.​

Now Nicole helps out Marcus, Jet Black, in The Knights. ​

Other- A rare mineral known as Jeremejevite, one of the top 10 rarest gems in the world, it makes her powers unusable while it's around her. Her super hero name is Lunar.​

 

Alright you're both accepted when you finish your profiles and this is just a reminder.

 

All acepted, just Axel, does your character have a last name?

 

Characters accepted, the minute we get a leader for the government, maybe a veteran for both side(if we can't I'll make one for whatever side doesn't have one) and a few more members in the Shadows and government. As for the knights, I think we have enough.

Also I know kairu and reo talked about this, but this goes for everyone, don't be afraid to make more than one character

 

That's fine, hurry and post it. Also remeber everyone is allowed more than one character and if you're going to have more than one, make sure you try to post it sometime tonight. I'd like to start this thing tomorrow if possible.




Name- Roy ??????? / Shadow
Age- 86 but appears to be 50
Human or Super Human- super human
Side- Knights veteran
Powers(2 max, and explain your powers)-
shadows- much like Marcus, same powers
Physic- very similar to Nicole's but a little stronger
Weapon- none
Appearence-
super hero/ above water in the city at night-
​

Usual- same cloak but pushed back some to see his face-
​

Roy is very old, but appears to be 50. He has real pale skin and is prettyshort compared to toher people. He stands about 5'11.5" He's very thin, but wears a thick cloak that adds some muscular look to himself. When he reveals his face though, it's real thin and against the bone, but not where it's ugly. He has long white hair.​

If you look in his eyes all you can see is shadows and harsh memories from his past, most people when they do suffer from it.​

Personality- Roy is quite and mysterious. He is very wise and knows a lot about thinks. He is usually kept to himself but will be around Marcus and now and then Nicole.
History/ Bio- Roy was born in1924 as part of experiment his parents were taking part in. Right when he was born all the way up until he was 16, he was kept from the real world, his only people he met with were scientists. He never met his parents or any other super humans. He was just kept in a jail cell as he would be taken out to go through experements to become a super human. Already at this time though he had powers, but they were trying to put more in him through this, he was the first generation of the power hungry generation.​

In 1940, he was one of the ones to rebel against humans destroying his and other super humans lives. He and all the other super humans escape and split into two organizations, The Knights and The Shadows. He became part of The Shadows only because of a man who claimed to be his father was the leader at the time. Through this he developped his shadow powers. For many years he was with The Shadows until he fell in love with another super human who was part of The Knights. They had a secret love and eventually had a child. Marcus/ Jet Black is Roy's son and when Roy's fake father found out about it all, he killed the girl Roy loved and from that Roy's power became extra stronger and he left the Shadows.

In 1963, the power beings lost their powers, many forgot about their powers and so did many humans. The reason being is thought to have been something that occured in nature that no one could understand, Roy however was one of the few who didn't forget his powers, but he knew that he couldn't start up The Knights, the side he joined when the love of his life was murdered. He knew though he couldn't because that would be risking his identity and he could get in trouble and captured by government if they remebered it all. All he could do was raise his son. As his son got older he left and started traveling the world.

Roy in 2000 got his powers back. He knew though that Marcus knew of his powers, but he still tried to find him to teach him his powers. He found himself in New York with his son being a super hero there. He knew he'd be fine and he just watched from a distance. Later though when they were forced to leave the real world to go to somewhere safe and far away, he ran into Marcus and his new side kick Nicole.

Other- His weakness is to blood diamond due to the horrible past they have.​

 

Not accepted. The super humans were forgotten about. No one sort of knew they existed until 2000.

Plus government is after super humans to kill all of them, meaning a super human can't be on the government side. Plus a super human has to be on one side either The Knights of The Shadows.

Next off the history needs to fit in with the time span. Also you're two bottom characters need a weakness, they're too strong.

Then the top guy can not stop aging unless he's a veteran, The Knights already have a veteran so he'd have to be on The Shadows side.

 

Somewhat accepted, the character is good, but not quite accepted.

The powers about healing is fine. However for the other stuff, it's only one of those choices you can choose, either speed, strength, etc, only one of those.

Then the history needs cleaned up. In 1940, the project for super humans was abandoned. Then the powers disappeared and now they're back and are viewed as a threat. I'm sure a government official could be your father, but after the year 2000, he slowly starts hating his son then completely hates him.

 

The history isn't working blademasterfan, he said he'll be fixing it on msn. Just the serum doesn't work with the story at all.

Also we have way to many Knights, so now The Knights is closed. The only two groups we'll be accepting is The Shadows and Government.

And so blademasterfan isn't the only government member.

Name- Maryann Smith
Age- 24
Human or Super Human- human
Side- Government- S.H.O.T
Weapon- Gun, knife, knows martial arts and went to West Point
Appearence-

She has always been real smart so she excelled through school. Maryann served a while in the millitary and fought over in Iraq before she was let go to study science and human genetics only to be rehired by government. In 2005, government saw a huge increase of humans containing powers from ancestors that gained power through an FBI private research but was shut down in 1940. For 60 years power beings disappeared though and everyone forgot about them except government knew some from records. Many of these super power humans were bad though and so an organization was setup known as S.H.O.T. The purpose for S.H.O.T is to rid the human blood line and world of the evil that 90% of super humans bring to the world. Since the project, 1000's of super humans have been killed. ​

Currently Maryann though is searching for a huge way to rid of it all for forever. She wants to see the current super humans dead, due to a memory in her past that happened in her family. In 2001 her older sister was killed by a super human. Her sister was in high school and was dating a violent boy friend. The boy friend wanted Maryann's sister, Jessica, to run away from the family with him to get married. Jessica didn't want to do that. As the boy friend learned of his powers, he used it as a force to do it. So in 2000 Jessica was forced to runaway with the boy friend. The family never saw her again until her body was found floating in the Hudson River in 2001. Her body was in terrible conditions, burns were all over her body, from that Maryann vowled for vengence and is out to kill the man who killed her sister.

Other- She has vengence against a super human with fire powers, due to her age of the event, she doesn't remeber the name.​

When his mother died his father started to beat his sister up. Blaze never got along with his sister so he would jump in with his father. She ended up running away. When Blaze was 10 he started to drink with his father and started doing drugs. By the time he was 15 he was selling drugs.

When Blaze turned 17 he was dating wanted of the hottest girls in school, Jessica Smith. He wanted her love all to himself, though like his father, he treated the girl poorly. He started making her do drugs and even would keep her locked in his house over the weekend. When his father was arrested, and Blaze almost was, he tried convince Jessica to run away with him, instead she broke up with him. However for help to convince her else wise, he gained super powers and forced her to run away with him. The ran away to Chicago and in Chicago they lived in an old abandoned warehouse. By his 18 birthday when they ran away he got married to Jessica and she became more of a servant to him than a wife.

In 2001 they moved back to New York City. At this time, Jessica was poor in health and was a living zombie. He lived in an old apartment and made a living off of selling drugs. Blaze started dating other girls too and Jessica decided enough was enough and tried to run away. Instead Blaze killed her and threw her into the Hudson River. When her body was found a few months later, no one knew who did it so he was safe.

In 2003, Blaze though started focusing on his powers and the control he had over people, but he wanted more control so he joined The Shadows organization for Super Humans and learned about his powers in which he learned he recieved from his father and mother.
