Private/Closed Humanity Evolved (Discussion)

[Void_Nugget]

In an alternate universe to our own a small fraction of the population throughout history have been born with powers. These powers were unique to family bloodlines meaning that no person had the same power as anyone who didnt share their blood. The enhanced people were referred to as Evos.

In the late 1700s a small group of scientists took large amounts of interest in the Evos, they formed an organisation called Humanity International Corporation. This organisation spent decades perfecting a procedure that could give none Evos the powers of a captured Evo using blood transfusions, the procedure always killed the Evo and wasnt always a success.

When the procedure was a success it created beings that the scientists called Adams and they were essential Evos but their powers were stolen. On the flip side however if the procedure went wrong it created what they called Husks, these were emotionless, brainless beings that had simple become a controllable shell with a superpower.

With the discovery of the procedure Evos began to be hunted down causing the already small population of Evos to become smaller and smaller. An resistance of sorts was formed led by an Evo with a powerful regenerative ability, called Michael Dawson, Michael had been a captive of HI Corp and had been put through the procedure to give Judas Law, the CEO of the HI Corp powers, thanks to his power he had been the only person to survive the procedure and had escaped soon after.

The current year is 2021 and we are a group of friends on the run trying to find the resistance.

Evos powers can be anything, whether it be a superpower or you become a mythical creature, like a vamp or a werewolf.

Rules:
- Normal Charms rules
- romance and violence are allowed but don't go overboard
- if some has a power already you cant have it, simple as that (this includes Regneration as Michael has that)
- dont be too OP
- One ability per person (mythical creature like abilities all accumulate into one)
- One character per person

[Red Gallade]

This RP idea sounds interesting, I have a couple of character ideas, but I'm trying to choose between a Vampire character or a character that can manipulate gravity.

 

[Void_Nugget]

Both ideas sound great, a vampire would possibly give you more to work with maybe but gravity manipulation is a fairly interesting power, of course it's your choice in the end.

 

[Gold The Dragonite]

Could I reserve a spot?

 

[Void_Nugget]

@Gold The Dragonite sure thing

 

[IDKWhatUserNameToDo]

Looks really interesting!
Mind reserving me a sport while trying to think of a character?

 

[Void_Nugget]

@IDKWhatUserNameToDo spot reserved

 

[DevVoid]

@Shadow_Pup Would you mind if I reserved a spot? I've got my character's sheet in the works already, should be done soon

 

[Void_Nugget]

@DevVoid that's fine

 

[Red Gallade]

Full Name: Adrian Snow
Nickname: Alucard (His father was notoriously known as "Dracula")
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Straight
Appearance: He stands at 5'8" with extremely Pale skin and somewhat messy and short jet Black hair, his body build is slim with no signs of fat or muscle, his eye pupils are blood red and has sharp fangs among his teeth. His attire consists of a White shirt under an ankle long jet Black closed hooded coat, Black pants and Black shoes.
Personality: Adrian is normally seen as a calm and friendly individual, not a likely person to get the first word out in a conversation and shows a lazy side to himself, causing him to care little about most things. He is easily irritated by loud noises and wouldn't hesitate to yell at anyone who annoys him nor talk back at anyone regardless of how 'high in command' they are. He harbors a more sadistic side, especially to those who "have it coming", making him ruthless and aggressive in battle with a tendency to show an ear wide terrifying grin at times, something he calls his "bad habit." He prefers night over day, has a soft spot for little animals and always enjoys a good mixture of milk chocolate and soda... and blood.

Spoiler: Ability and Weaknesses

Ability: Vampirism - This ability has been passed down for generation in Adrian's family, grating him the abilities normally found in Vampires. His strength, speed and senses are greatly enhanced, his strength and speed even more so given how much blood he consumes, especially Evo blood, this can help him heal his own wounds faster, even grievous ones.
His nails can behave like long sharp claws, able to extend/retract and easily slice through metal.
He can defy gravity and allow himself to fly.
He has influence over nocturnal animals, able to make them follow his commands.
He can extract blood from anyone he bites.
He can transform into a bat, a swarm of bats or a monstrous humanoid bat like creature, the latter form he transforms when he is either angry... or bloodthirsty (literally.)
Weaknesses: His power greatly weakens when exposed to sunlight.
Anything holy or divine is like a repellent for him.
His desire for blood is nearly like that on an addictive drug, if he takes too long without blood, he will become aggressive in his pursuit of claiming some while drinking too much blood will only make him want more.

Other: Given the notorious nature of his family and their Vampire abilities, many people hate/fear him.

 

[IDKWhatUserNameToDo]

Full Name: Natalie Harwood
Nickname (Optional): Nat
Age (15-19): 16
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Bisexual

Appearance: Nat looks slightly younger than what she actually is due to her small stature. Only standing at 5.2ft (about 160 cm) and being relatively thin, not having much either fat or muscle. She has shoulder length hair that's naturally dark brown hair that's parted in the middle. Due to one of the side effects of her ability though her hair goes through cycles of turning blonde and then back to her natural hair color, but her hair on the front by her middle parting always stays blonde for some reason. Nat has sand tone skin, with freckles and birth marks scattered across her skin. She has a soft face, with hazel eyes and a Greek nose. She tends to wear sweaters or hoodies paired with jeans or some comfy sweat pants depending on her mood and situation, at all times wears round glasses and occasionally gloves

Spoiler: a quick sketch of Nat

Personality: Natalie is very timid and shy, often unable to speak up and almost letting people talk over her even when she has something important to say and not the best with social situations nor with big crowds. She's quiet and reserved, often preferring to spend her time alone. She's not too keen of violence and prefers to stay on the sidelines, as utility or support if possible. She becomes nervous too easily and doesn't have much confidence in herself. She's very considerate towards others, patient and quite smart. Around her friends and those she trusts though, Nat is surprisingly bubbly, especially when sharing her passions. Her main hobbies is photography and writing/reading.

Ability: Acid generation. Natalie has special glands pretty much all over her body that can produce a corrosive liquid. She can control the potency and viscosity of the acid, but the thicker or potent it is the more it tend to take to produce.

Weakness: The more she uses her ability or the more potent her skin can become irritated, get rashes that in worst cases get inflamed. She can't control the acid once it leaves her body though and as her acid producing sweat glands are over all on her body they easily get mixed up in her sweat, which can causes unwanted use of her powers. As a result her clothes often get worn quicker and sometimes uses gloves if handling something important.

Other: Another side effect of her ability is that excessive use causes her hair to bleach and go blonde.

 

[DevVoid]

Full Name: Matthew Donovan

Nickname: Matt

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Sexuality: Straight

Appearance: Matt is close to 5'6ft tall, with a pale caucasian skin colour and a slim, average body type. Due to his ability, Matt's Eyes are two smooth, refined crystal orbs, matching in appearance and toughness as actual diamonds. His eyes are a pure, white colour with no other colour present. (Though, if light shines into them, Matt's eyes light up in rainbow colours, looking similar to an Opal). Matt has long, light-brown hair, part of which he keeps in a ponytail and the other parts he keeps messy, both the rest of his hairs and the ponytail hanging down to his shoulders. For clothing, Matt wears a pair of sunglasses whenever he's not planning on using his power to obstruct his eyes while still being able to see. Matt wears a snow-white overcoat with a black long-sleeve shirt underneath, along with a pair of dark-blue pants with a black belt bound within. For Footwear, Matt wears black shoes with matching long socks underneath. Though Matt does wear other clothes, this is the typical colour palette for his choice in clothing and his other outfits usually consists of sweaters, thick jackets, vests and sometimes gloves with matching boots.

Personality: Matt is a careful individual thanks to his power and doesn't let anyone near his eyes or sunglasses unless he gave them permission to look/touch either of the two. He also acts very paranoid when exposed to light - he can't get too much light in his eyes, else he'll be completely blinded while his eyes reflect the light around him. Other than this cautious paranoia, Matt is eager to help fellow Evos, friends and family, though he isn't all too kind to normal humans and is especially resentful of people who attempt to misuse his trust for their own gain, such as by misusing Matt to generate diamonds for them to sell and get rich off of. Matt generally is a calm and quiet individual and though he's quick to turn tail in a losing battle, he becomes more courageous with allies and those he trusts joining his battles.

Ability: Diamond Eyes - Whatever surface Matt looks at, his eyes will quickly generate crystals made of solid diamond on that surface. This ability generally reaches wherever Matt can look and although he cannot manipulate the crystals themselves after they've grown, he can control in what shape they grow to begin with. (So for example, he could grow sharp, rough diamond spikes on one surface and smooth, round diamond crystals on another.)

He can also connect them by focusing on different surfaces. This ability is also able to lock things together and/or entrap them within the generated crystals, trapped beings being rendered immobilized but not comatose.

Flaws: Matt cannot control when his eyes generate diamonds and when not - the only way he can is by obscuring his vision - such as with his sunglasses or keeping his eyes shut. The diamonds will also not generate on Matt himself nor on things in a VERY close distance- or directly in front of him.

Other: Due to his ability to generate valuable diamonds, some may succumb to greed and attempt to use Matt for their benefit.

 

[Void_Nugget]

Okay all characters accepted.

Oh and just a little detail to make sure it was worded correctly in the first post, our characters will already know each other at the beginning.

 

[DevVoid]

Felt like Diamond Eyes' description was a little vague (especially with the 'can't manipulate them, but can change how they grow'), along with the fact that Matt needed some more outfits other than just the one I gave him, so I did a little edit on both of those things. Matt's power is still the same, it's just more explained now. Just thought I should say this to explain the edit to Matt's Sheet.

 

[IDKWhatUserNameToDo]

So question
Is there a general motivation for the characters to go and search for the resistance? To have a safe space and possibly join the small community for Evos, possibly help the resistance or something else?

 

[Void_Nugget]

The main reason our group wants to find the resistance is for a safe place but depending on what happens motivations might change.

 

[Void_Nugget]

@Gold The Dragonite just wanted to check how your bio was coming along

And does anyone have anyone they think would be interested to fill the last spot

 

[IDKWhatUserNameToDo]

hmmm
@Captain Cardboard interested in joining this one?
(Haven't been here on charms for a while so not sure who all are active rn, but trying to get back to the swing of things here)

 

[Your-Friday-Filet]

I'd like to reserve a spot - making a character is taking longer than expected.

 

[| Korutesu |]

i'd like to reserve a spot, i've got a good character idea i'd like to use in this rp

 

[Your-Friday-Filet]

This looks like a great RP, it'd be a shame if it died!

Full Name: Samir Mansour
Nickname: None
Age (15-19): 18
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Straight
Appearance: Samir has black hair tidily trimmed, his face mainly stoic, rarely expressive. He stands at a towering six feet and seems quite fit. Though he sticks out like a sore thumb, he dresses modestly to avoid any further attention. A white tee, jeans, or other things that look rather bland. He has a darker complexion, as he can trace his ancestry to the Middle East. Samir wears square cut earrings, they don't exactly look feminine.
Personality: Samir is stern to put it bluntly. He can loosen up when talking to his friends, but overall is a no-nonsense type of guy who wants to get things done. He's not boring keep in mind, he likes to think 2 steps ahead and mainly is in his head. Samir enjoys routine above all else - it's reliable and you don't have to think much once you get the hang of things. The daily rut doesn't take a toll on him, it's when things get out of control that he starts to worry. Sadly, he doesn't usually have a routine with his ability and all.
Ability: Synthesis - Samir can use his... shall we say "life force", to power up people near him. Whether it be physical performance or another's powers, it can be useful for battle. Which is why people want to capture him. If they can, they could potentially force him to synthesize and grant themselves greater control. However, Samir is a hard person to sway. He can't precisely choose which attributes get enhanced, and it relies mainly on his endurance and the other person's will to unlock greater power.
Other: Ok don't call him Sam, folks.

 

[Void_Nugget]

@Your-Friday-Filet accepted
@| Korutesu | I'll reserve that spot

Ok that's it for people, we'll start after @Gold The Dragonite and @| Korutesu | post their characters.

 

[IDKWhatUserNameToDo]

might revamp Nat's personality a bit since I kinda think it's bland right now? Might just add how she is with her friends/those she trusts. It's gonna largely gonna stay the same, but thought to tell you guys.

Edit: Added the small thing. I was thinking about making her have gremlin energy under all the shyness, but after some thinking ended up keeping her wholesome

 

[Gold The Dragonite]

Afraid I'm going to have to drop out. This bio's taking me longer then I thought, and I don't want it to hold up any progress.

 

[Void_Nugget]

Ok @Gold The Dragonite if that's your decision you do have at least until @| Korutesu | uploads their bio but it's understandable if you drop out

 

[| Korutesu |]

My OC sheet is done! let me know if there are any problems at all.

Spoiler: Travis Johnson

Full Name: Travis Johnson

Nickname: None

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Sexuality: Straight

Appearance:

Personality: Travis is a very nice guy, being talkative and always supporting his team. He tries to protect his team, and tries to stop them from getting hurt. He's great at working under pressure, and tries to make the right choices, not only in team-fights, but in important decisions. Travis is also very observant and will not hesitate to sacrifice himself in a time of danger.

Ability: Destiny Bond - Travis can use his "doll" to attack opponents by giving them a bond to the doll, all damage done to the doll (crushing, stabbing, shooting, etc.) will deal damage to the one he gave the bond to. He can only use Destiny Bond on a single person, every one hour. A drawback of this power is that Travis MUST keep a steady vision on his target, or his skill will be cancelled. Another Drawback to this is when the enemy gets hurt/hurts himself, That damage inflicted on the enemy is also inflicted on Travis, But when an enemy is killed by Travis, All damage dealt to the enemy will not add to his own damage, unless killed by the enemy, took their own life, etc.. When he uses Destiny Bond, His eye color, along with the target will turn purple.

Other: Travis' ability is very dangerous to his well being and mental health, as using his ability longer, will cause his sanity to lower and make him go insane.

@| Korutesu | very interesting character, accepted

Nah, we're still waiting on Korutesu to post, then we can move on.

 

[Void_Nugget]

If they dont post by tomorrow I'm moving on

 

[| Korutesu |]

Sorry i took long, i had to enroll into a school, plus lots of school work..

 

[Your-Friday-Filet]

Multiple questions:

So is our plan to rob a car or use the old truck?
Where in LA are we, most car dealerships are near St James Park and South Park?
I looked for a bit, trying to figure out a car with a lot of space that could go off-road, but it's not very modest. Can anyone give me an idea to what type of car?

 

[Void_Nugget]

Damon and Adrian are going to use the old truck and ditch it once they are finished, that is why a new vehicle is required.

As for where in LA, to be honest not sure why I chose LA as I live in England and don't know anything about the place I just wanted a real sense of a long distance travelled.

Well, the off-road and lots of space part was just what Matt imagined would be an ideal car to the group overall, though I don't think it really has to be something specific. It could just be like a van with wheels fit for off-road driving or something similar.
