That sounds cool, whether it's a comet or perhaps a leak of materials from some operation that spreads, something in the atmosphere I think would be good. This means also that it's pretty random who got powers, so the agents don't have like a list of people experimented on, which makes it more interesting. Perhaps something man made though? Then we can have storylines of tracking down the people responsible, then maybe the leak was on purpose so we can find a mastermind? I think if it was on purpose as some sort of endeavour to create perfect humans that'd be interesting, what does everyone think?
Idea for why it's only young people: Their brains are still growing and changing, so the mutations or whatever that are caused by the particles can still alter the brain?

I like the idea of the blackout, particularly since I was struggling with the idea of how Reese was going to get noticeable enough with his powers to actually draw attention. Perhaps Nix could go to high school in the same town as Reese goes to university, so when the agents start arriving they notice Reese's acting strange?

"Mrs. Becker, when was the last time you saw your daughter?" Agent Valentini asked.
Nix's mother looked at her hands, wringing them together. "I... " She look up to her husband, who smiled and placed his hand on her shoulder. "I saw her last night... She ran out after the blackout started.
"And you are aware that the blackout started from here, correct?" Valentini's partner, who had introduced himself as Agent Abedin, interjected.
Mrs. Becker slowly nodded. "Yes.. Me and Nicolette were the only ones home when it happened."
"Was she acting strange, out of the ordinary?" Valentini pressed, leaning forward.
"Well..." She looked toward her husband for reassurance again. "There was one thing. We got into a little argument, and I could've sworn..."
"Yes?"
"I could've sworn I saw bolts of electricity fly off her- and that's when the blackout started. I don't know, it was so quick that I was probably imagining things." She finally looked up to meet Valentini's dark eyes. "Please, find my daughter. She's a kind girl. She would never do anything bad."
"We'll do the best we can. Thank you for your time. Mrs. Becker, Mr. Becker." The agent shook both of their hands.
What do you think? Anything you want to change?

((No changes to offer, just some questions for my own Rping purposes and general knowledge. Where does Nix live? And where exactly did this blackout occur? Also, another character follows. I don't know if I'll be using her immediately because her power is pretty inconspicuous but they could run into her later on.))

This idea is really really cool. Can I hop in and make a random suggestion? It's unlikely and that's the only downside, but if the government wants these kids found, they could possibly beef up their agents with some sort of synthesized thing (maybe even taken from the body of a powered kid they caught at some point?) and make them stronger or faster than the average human? Idk, it's totally a random idea, but I read that you guys are still throwing ideas around and I had that one :3
I know you were trying to steer away from 'evil government goon cliches' so maybe just one or two have the boost?

Hey that could be pretty cool! We'd probably wait for this to get started a bit, play out the introductions and getting the groups altogether, but perhaps once it's all rolling we could do that I think they would need to have captured a suitable powered person, although I'm not sure who. I have a speedy girl, perhaps that contributes to being faster(although being as fast as her might be too much, still alter them a bit), if anybody joins with great constitution or strengths or something they could make a cocktail of a few? Perhaps yeah only one or two super well trained field agents get it? Does anyone take issue with that or should we plan it? But we need to wait for more agents to join I think right now we only have a computer geek and one field agent :') Perhaps a scientist or two, as well as more field guys

Mrs. Becker, Mr. Becker." The agent shook both of their hands. What do you think? Anything you want to change? It looks good, but maybe focus a bit more on the aspects almost every character will go through, so it's better suited to be an introduction. Like you've touched on how she run away, which is good but you could accentuate these general things. Perhaps mention how the agents are being a bit invasive(asking for access to her room, social media, photos, a lot about her) because they're trying to find her. Maybe the parents aren't sure if the agents want to do her good or bad because they aren't acting like normal missing child police officers and are a bit suspicious, or maybe the parents are scared of their own child, or super protective despite the powers. Idk it's good as is if you don't want to change anything or disagree, but we want everyone to understand what the kids went through without focusing too much on the specific character. Something that everyone can put themselves into. what does everyone else think, I don't wanna have the last say on everything this is for all of us not just me ^^

Before I put in a formal banner request, what should we name the rp? What text should go on the banner? We could just have this title(you can't wake up...) with a subtitle of something like 'Government agents play cat and mouse with superpowered teens' or ''What happens when you set the best of the best agents to track supernaturally gifted youths' idk better than those but you get the idea. Or should we change the title to something else?

It could be like a government conspiracy, yeah c: But idk if having something manmade like a virus or something would be too generic? Or we could have it still be the comet thing, but like...maybe the government had people go out and somehow collect the particles that were exuded by the comet the last time it came by Earth and they had scientists kind of recreate the particles in a lab? And the powers this time come from the particles that the scientists created and the scientists were told by the government to release them? Idk And yeah, that sounds good c:

Like you don't have to mention the government or agents or even the "superpowered teens"? It could be just as cryptic Like "It Was Never Meant To End This Way" or something idk

Idk if any of you have ever seen/heard of/read deadman wonderland, but there's an origin story of powers in that too. Basically, a massive earthquake leaves the survivors of the catastrophe infected with this special red diamond. There's more to it of course, but if something like that happened, the powered peeps could be blamed for the catastrophe in the first place

hey guys! I've been a bit iffy attendance wise and I'm super sorry about that! I'm also having trouble thinking of powers so rip me x3 Also I was wondering if maybe one of my powered kids could be like, the nephew of Alonza? And you were talking about someone making the British man I wrote in the intro and I could do that if you wanted?

Hi everyone! So sorry for completely disappearing, I'm on this course at a zoo and on the weekend I had some free time that was instantly taken up by babysitting Nessie(easier nickname than your new sc!) sure I'll keep a space for you! Butterfly, Nessie @cause first time accidental powers, 2nd time intentional govt scientists I like that idea, I'm quite keen on the govt being responsible. Maybe we could combine them and while trying to get the powered peeps their powers, some catastrophe(either accidental mistake during delivery of particulates or intentional event in order to spread them) happens. Maybe the agents don't know it's intentional, and they're just tracking down the powered people on orders from above. Maybe the above people do know they caused it, but don't tell their agents, and lie that the powered people caused the catastrophe? Thoughts? Or would you rather the agents were in the know and represented the government, not government pawns... Butterfly Icy @subtitle Okay so I'll keep the current title. Either we go with one of these ideas you guys suggested as a subtitle or a title (so It was never meant to end this way, We didn't ask for this, You are not alone, Our deepest fear(I lurve love love that quote I think it's really fitting and should go somewhere on the front page definitely I'm just not sure where. It could be smaller bit of text on a poster maybe? Or be a random piece of artwork like a picture of a character with that quote? Any ideas how we can fit it in anyone?)) or have a more descriptive subtitle... Firstly do people want an enigmatic subtitle or a descriptive subtitle? Then we can decide which one/s to use Pilots @alonza that sounds like a great idea! DRAMALLAMA I love it! That'll make some pretty dramatic/revelation/conflicted scenes later on. Either you can rp a nephew or you could get someone else to? If you'd like to that's great but maybe having two people rp them makes it more interactive, but then you'd be the one who knew their backstory and all that so it's totally up to you! Pilots @british man yeah cool go for it if you want to! Don't feel like you have to because I'll pick up anything nobody wants to do, but if you'd genuinely like to then awesomesaucom

Okay so next steps: •Descriptive subtitle or enigmatic subtitle? •Decide on a specific one. •Once we've got that down, we can get an art forumer to make us a poster. Think of design ideas or image motifs that are fitting(and suggest them!) •Decide on what caused the whole thing so I can finish the front bit •finalise introductions •FINALLY OPEN IM SO SORRY THIS HAS TAKEN SO LONG BUT IMAGINE IT WE'LL ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO RP

((Whoa, timing. I vote catchy/dramatic title with a descriptive subtitle. Also I'm working on another agent character, since there seems to be a need for those.
EDIT: Another post! Yeah, I think if it comes down to a vote I like "Our Deepest Fear" as a title, with the full quote and also the current title as taglines because they're all awesome. I'd like to offer my assistance with creating a poster but I don't really know much about that stuff. I can draw characters though? In case such services would be useful later. And as for what caused the powers, I think my favorite idea so far is the comet thing. I'd rather it be something naturally occurring.))

ok I would loooove to RP the nephew but I feel like that might cause me to be writing a ton and while I'm totally cool with that I understand if other people would get frustrated with that so does anyone want to RP Alonza's nephew? I was thinking he would be the son of her older brother just because she is like, thirty something I can't remember the exact age I gave her, as for other things I didn't really have a plan x3 and I don't mind making the British man at all! I just need to think of some powers and I am still struggling x3 I was thinking that like, the ability to manipulate gravity would be a cool power but idk the range of that one or how much the person would be able to effect gravity because there would definitely have to be some limits... And then like, I want to make another powered character but I have nooo idea what the second power should be x3
