Awesome! Here's my character:
Nicolette “Nix” Becker | Snowflower | 17 | Female | Electricity/Lightning. She can conjure up bits of electricity at her fingertips that can be used to power things or used like a taser. When she gets better control of her powers she can also summon full bolts of lightning. | Nix has light brown skin and amber eyes. Her hair is long and curly, and a very dark brown color. After she got her powers several strands of hair turned bright yellow. She wears a dark grey tank top under a hooded yellow leather jacket, with black jeans and yellow converse. Nix is a pretty outgoing person, and loves to meet new people. She was an active athlete before she got her powers, participating in several of her school's sports teams, her favorite being track. She's very open with her emotions, not hiding when she's upset or not. Her biggest flaw is being too trusting. Nix trusts without hesitation- which could lead her into trouble. She was ecstatic about getting her powers, until she found out she was a wanted person for having them. | Other

Ooh I like both those intros! What does everyone think, the letter style or prose? The prose is a bit more personal to the rp because it involves our characters(hey maybe someone should rp the British man in charge, anyone fancy that?) but the letter is cool because it's different to the usual introduction style.
How should we do the gifted introduction? It could be a discussion between the parents of one of the gifted trying to figure out what they saw and mourning their child running away, which introduces both the fact that they've had to leave home and that they have powers. Idk any other ideas? A report on the gifted people by the agents, which summarises everything they know?

I think I like the prose better? Like what you said, it's more personal
And if we do go with a prose for the agents introduction, it is only fitting that the gifted introduction is also in prose form. So I like the idea about the parents c:
But if we go with letter style for the agents, then it would be better to have the gifted introduction be a report of some kind

I've got a potential plot to offer: later on, depending on certain rules of the universe and the powers that we have yet to establish, the group could find some evidence of the same phenomenon occurring in the past—people suddenly acquiring powers—for example, objects that have been infused with the same sort of power. Like a bag of marbles among which you can teleport by scattering them about and then touching them, or a book that shows you people's thoughts in print, etc. Then of course the agents would want these objects and they'd be after them as a secondary focus after catching the powered teens/young adults.

I don't have a lot of extended family, I think 2 uncles and a few cousins, but i haven't met most of them so we're not close. It's just me my siblings and their partners :3

Ooh that could be a fun thing to do! And also finding out if any of them survived(they find an adult or a few adults with powers still, either as people to help them out, be villains or just sorta exist as someone to find?) Maybe they were all exterminated, cue fear that the agents are for real... Death through some sort of power related illness would be pretty ominous, making the kids wonder if it will happen to them?) yeah I like the sound of that!

I don't remember if you said it was okay if I could keep the powers for my character with the telepathy. All she can do is speak to people in their minds, she can't read them.

Mary Greene | donuthole| 14 | female | Because she is mute she is always using her telepathy and so it doesn’t really seem like it is an ability for her, just her way of speaking. When she uses it with people not in the group, she can make it seem like she is actually speaking by mouthing the words she is thinking. Mary’s true power is her ability to read minds, that came later and recently, which she can do at will though she has to see the person the first time she reads their minds. | Where do I begin with this girl? Should I start with her pale blonde hair or her unusual pink eyes? Perhaps I should begin with the basics. Mary is a small girl standing at 5’1 with a pale complexion that she inherited from her parents and a petite frame. Mary’s body has yet to catch up with her age and has many childlike features. Her face is a bit rounder than most her age and her bangs cover her eyebrows. Her pink eyes that reveal her telepathic abilities are big and wide and the rest of her face contains either an almost subtly surprised expression or one of childish curiosity. Her light blonde hair is long and falls in waves to reach the middle of her back which she puts into a ponytail when needed. As for clothes, generally she will wear whatever she can get her hands on due to being on the run, however she does have a blue dress with long sleeves and a high collar that covers the lower half of her neck. She wears black boots and a grey hooded jacket with all of her outfits. Mary is rather mysterious. Perhaps it is because of she is mute or because she tends to keep things to herself, but not much is known about her by anyone. What is known about this small girl is that she loves cute things. Show her a frilly or cute outfit and she will take the bait instantly. Speaking of bait, the one way to Mary’s heart is through food. However, that manner of getting her trust is only temporary. Being a loyal and kindhearted girl, she has been hurt multiple times in the past and has grown rather cautious of others. It takes a lot to get her to fully trust you and even then she is still wary. All in all, Mary is sweet and will get flustered easily especially when teased. She often doesn’t know when people are messing with her and so she tends to be gullible.| Other
I have had this on my document for a while so I just had to copy and paste it. I hope she is okay.

(Looks good! One thought, reading it it's like she's always had this power and that's how she's communicated her entire life, but we were going to go with the idea that they all got their powers recently and at once. Thoughts?)

That part was for the telepathy since telepathy is just the ability to speak through thoughts. Her mind reading is the true power. I can change it though if you want.

That part was for the telepathy since telepathy is just the ability to speak through thoughts. Her mind reading is the true power. I can change it though if you want. idk because telepathy is still a power, you'd have to go and explain that (if it came about earlier than all the other powers it doesn't have the same cause). If that's true and it happened separately, then that opens up a whole other world of potential powers outside our gang and their plight and the reason for their powers. I just think maybe have them both come at the event would make more sense in the rp? Do you get where I'm coming from, it's not that I'm trying to be boring I'm just trying to make a sound universe without too many plot holes :-/ uhmmmmm maybe if we go with Icy's idea of there having been a previous lot of powered people, she could be the child of one of them? That could maybe link in and we'd have a lead to follow when they discover the precious 'batch' (as it were) But if they all had a disease your character might have gotten it genetically. If we don't go with the disease idea(although it'd be interesting) then she'd be safe, so if you want her to be the offspring of an old experiment then you can help decide if they died out through illness or assassination. but I'm just thinking out loud here

Cool! So donut maybe clarify in the form slightly that she's always had speaking in thoughts but mind reading was new? We just need: introduction to the whole rp(I could do that) introduction to the gifted(I think we agreed on some sort of prose, perhaps a discussion between parents about how their kid ran away and government people have turned up to the house and gone through their things and they think they saw the kid have some ability but no that's crazy or is it) decide what caused their powers(pretty important) where it's going to be set(less important we can be vague, each individual can come from a different place, but where the headquarters of the agents is, where the captured kids get taken etc) and I'll make the main page up soon so we can start

Okay so: What caused their powers??? Where is the agent base gonna be? We sort of agreed to set things around Europe, travelling around place to place would be fun, but the agents will have to have a base or hq of some sort, and also when the kids are caught where will they be taken? Because when they break out of that place whatever country they're in will be where it really begins

For what caused their powers I watched an anime called Charlotte a while back and it's basically the same premise, with children suddenly finding that they have powers and such It also has a lot of other complications regarding the powers but anyway What the anime did to explain away the powers (and cases like this have happened before at some point in history) is that they said there's this comet that passes over the Earth every so-and-so years and every time it does, it showers the earth with these particles that cause children in their teens to develop strange powers Not every teen develops them, just those who are susceptible to the particles, as if it's a sickness
We could do something like that?
