On “Freak Day”, as Fox News coined it, there were raids on stores and retail establishments, riots broke out in a few of the big cities. People died. Things got ugly before they got better. It took about a month before everyone calmed down and got wise, traces of them started to become rare as those not already outed decided it was best to keep their condition to themselves. This proved to be the smart thing to do once Donald Trump, America’s newly elected President, gave police the o-k to start shooting civilians that exhibited signs of being a “freak” publicly. The families of those who had already lost someone to police in those first few weeks are outraged, and half of America with them. The other half think they deserved it and that the President is right to support the police in their actions during the raids and riots. As if racism weren’t enough to incite hate, there is a new prejudice to add to the pile, and mostly to those who suffered under its weight in the first place.
February 3rd 2017, Freak day, the day random people started to obtain super powers, will now be written in history books and taught in schools for years to come. This truth sounds like something out of a bad 1940's pulp fiction novel, a nerdy fanfiction written by some teenage girl, or some roleplay thought up by a loser avoiding the real world, but it's our truth now. Humanity's reaction to all of this so far has shown the world the worst of us, a few bad who incited a mob mentality that quickly spun out of control. But instead of telling how those riots ended the media has decided to concentrate on the worst. It was those with powers that brought a stop to the chaos. Brave civilian individuals put themselves in harm's way to stop the mobs, but they were only painted as part of the problem and as bad as the rest, if painted at all.
It is February 24th 2017 now, every day is uncertain and you could cut the tension in the air with a butter knife. Those of us with newfound powers have decisions to make. Do nothing, do something, take advantage or behave yourself.You could try to be a comic book hero but I'm not sure anyone will thank you properly for it. Or maybe you're sick as shit of working 40 hours a week and making no money, you might try to strongarm your way to financial stability. It's not like anyone could stop you. None of us owe anyone anything and personally I'm just going to go along with my day as though none of this ever happened. As long as I can anyway. No telling how long that will be. It's only just my luck that San Francisco was hit the worst, as though living here weren't difficult enough. Now your neighbor can decide to fly to work instead of going through morning traffic like the rest of us.

_______________________________
Welcome to Pulp Fiction which is - no, not a roleplay about Quentin Tortellini's most boring film to date, but a super powers roleplay. On February 1st random people across America began to experience gaining strange powers, by February 3rd, they began to abuse them. This was a small portion of those that gained powers but unfortunately it is often the few that spoil it for the rest, and frankly news is just juicier when it's violent and angry. Our characters will be set in San Fran, USA, and slightly into the future of our own world, political leaders and current media included. We'll discuss in the OOC and agree upon the effects our character's choices bring about. We'll do our best to gauge how our media would handle people with super powers and how the burnt cheeto wearing a toupee we will call the President would handle the situation. We'll explore morality and what is and isn't duty to each individual, what things warrant extreme measures and when a line has been crossed. We'll play ordinary people given gifts straight out of comic books and do our best to realistically portray what would happen. This will be as much a simulation as it will be for fun. Yeah things will get ridiculous and goofy, and things for our characters will turn dark at points in time. I don't intend to for this roleplay to pull its punches, so be forewarned that violence and suggestive content will be present elements within this roleplay. I

Character sheets are to be filled out in their entirety, except for those parts in which can not be filled until later, such as the relationships section and powers. I have been wracking my brain for a fair way to divide powers and what types to be allowed etc. And I've come to the conclusion that it would be best for us to discuss in the OOC in what capacity our characters will operate. So fill out your sheets without too much mention of powers until very recently in their history. After all according to current rp time less than a month has passed between the day they gained their powers anyway. They should not be centered around their powers, first and foremost they should be characters, who happen to have super powers. Morality, alignments and relationships are all subject to change during the roleplay so be sure you update your character's profile at appropriate times and message me so that I can change their status on the tab. You may be wondering where my own character is? I'd much prefer to see what players we get and round out the cast, see if we need anything. So feel free to make whomever you like.

Re: PULP FICTION
Re: PULP FICTION
In other news, I'm not sure we're going to have enough people to get this going :/ I'm really sorry dreaming reality, CutUp, and Shygirl. I don't know how much longer I should keep you waiting but I think this should probably go on the back burner if you know what I mean.

Re: PULP FICTION
Re: PULP FICTION
Also, if anyone wants to discuss relationships, that'd be great. I'll probably get around to messaging people at some point if you don't feel up to it right now though.
Just let me know if there is anything that I need to change about Ara!
Re: PULP FICTION
Re: PULP FICTION
Superstrength/Durability - Well he's gonna be an amateur boxer, figured that'd fit.
Kinetic Energy Absorption - Think Sebastian Shaw from X-Men, basically he can absorb the physical blows he takes, turning it into strength. Cause if there's one thing he knows how to do, it's take a beating.
Force Field Generation - I just think that'd suit his personality a bit.
Animal Mimicry - It'd be more of a shapeshifting power, basically he can take on certain physical characteristics of animals without completely turning into them. He turns into a cross between the animal and a human. A Wereman if you will. Like for example he could take on the characteristics of a hawk by growing some wings, and talons, or gaining the durable scales of a crocodile, or getting the muscle mass of a gorilla, getting all Hulked up. Don't really have a reason for it, I just thought it was super badass, and would be super fun to play.
Basically what I picture of César is that he's more a physical, and muscle type of guy. Oh, and anybody wants to discuss relations feel free to hit me up anytime!
Re: PULP FICTION

EDIT: so i got an idea that i want to run by. I don't know if any of you have watched Heroes but i was wondering what if my character had a power similar to that. it'd give her a good motivation to do what she does. and i wouldn't mind playing the villain. just an idea though. of course there'd have to be discussion on not making her too op if the idea gets passed.
Re: PULP FICTION
@Blueshadow Could you keep certain answers such as the stats short? So as not to mess up the look of the coding. You can elaborate on anything you feel you need to down in personality or history. Multiple characters are fine so long as you can handle that many.
Lets not making anyone younger than 18 I think. Am I correct in assuming everyone is going to make people that are relatively young? Like early 20's age? In which case I think I have a character coming into mind, someone older and wiser to be a guiding hand perhaps. FC Laurence Fishburne I think.

y'all are going to have to rescue him from government agents at some point
Re: PULP FICTION
Re: PULP FICTION
With the exception of the relationships and powers section, of course. :)
Please message me if you'd like me to change something or add to something!
Or if you just have a suggestion of what a cool power would be for her! :D
Re: PULP FICTION
Also whats your policy on multiple characters? Because depending on how many people we get I kinda might wanna try my hand at a second character. Most likely a villain.
Re: PULP FICTION
I look forward to seeing characters and like what I'm seeing thus far. Let me know if you guys have any questions.
Re: PULP FICTION
My character would most likely be female, just for the record.
I'll most likely have a WIP up tonight for my character if everything goes smoothly.
Re: PULP FICTION
Later taters!

Re: PULP FICTION
This is my favorite thing.
If you don't mind I'd like to create a character. :)
She'll likely be done tomorrow night, if that's alright with you.
Re: PULP FICTION
To address you snapfish, I don't want you to get bored or have too few people to interact with so that idea could be tricky if everyone else is your opponent. If you're set on that though I'm alright with it. Just think through interactions and see if that's something you want to do first.
