everyone says three is the magic number. me? I think itβs seven. seven because thatβs how many seconds it takes for something to go completely wrong. seven because there were originally seven of us.
ONE, the blood TWO, the shadow THREE, the elemental FOUR, the giver FIVE, the life SIX, the death SEVEN, the dreamer
seven because thatβs how many seconds it takes for us to make something go completely wrong.
i. introduction, directory ii. plot, rules iii. the abilities, joining, relationships iv. the seven v. the others

a little bit of a dramatic intro, but whatβs wrong with dramatics? thereβs certainly going to be quite a lot of dramatics in this small group rp. anyway, this rp was inspired by the song βHeathensβ by twenty one pilots and also by the Scarlet Witch/Wanda Maximoff because she was the only thing I could think of when I first listened to βHeathens.β this rp is going to be about a group of seven people gifted/cursed or born with some sort of special ability(ies). NOTE: more characters will be added as time progresses
a few of the characters will find it difficult to deal with their powers(ahem Scarlet Witch inspiration) and will sometimes be out of control. let me know if you plan on your character being like this and youβll be good to go.
basically this will be about the seven trying to survive and deal with their powers. whatever path we decide to take depends completely on how we rp the group, what the setting is, what the theme is, etc., so letβs make this interesting.
the overarching plot for the role-play will be, for the time, the characters attempting to figure out why they are powered. this will include doing research, interviews with people who have reported powered/"abled" people, road trips(!!!!!), and probably interacting with the government at some point. interaction with the government does not have to be negative nor positive, it can be neutral - it can be whatever you want. the characters will also be trying to figure out what happens if they have children together, if something drastic happens and their brains are injured will their powers go away, how did they get their powers, why do their powers exist, etc.
if you have any ideas please let me or Ace know, we'd be more than happy to hear them.
there must be rules in an rp, so here we go. I may be a bit of a meanie in these, but I am very tough on rules.
one. try to keep the genders somewhat even, please. it gets annoying if we have fifty girls and ten guys. two. do not create more powers for your claimed character than I already stated. if you want to create a small, related power, ask for my approval first. if you need more of an explanation on your characterβs power, let me know and Iβll be glad to help. three. keep it PG-13 people. not too much violence, not too much romance, you get the gist. four. follow the forum rules. I will personally report you if you donβt, and I hope you do the same if I donβt. five. this is going to be a little difficult considering the theme of the rp, but do not god-mod, power-play, or spotlight. also no perfect characters. all of it is just plain annoying. six. this is a semi-advanced group role-play so I ask that you post at least five very descriptive sentences per post. honestly, thatβs not a lot. I understand getting writersβ block very well, so just let me know if you have it and will be posting only a few sentences. if this becomes too frequent, you will be booted. seven. be active. I am not saying please. if you join this role-play, I expect you to be active and participate willingly in the rp.

[ the blood ] the blood has the ability to control the flow of blood in animalsβ bodies. they can control movements once they control the blood and can cause ailments that arise because of issues within the blood. [ the shadow ] the shadow controls the primordial darkness that has existed since the beginning of time. before there was light, there was darkness. the shadow is not inherently evil, good, or neutral. the shadow just is. the shadow has the ability to control shadows, meaning they can transform into shadows and move with them or cloak themselves in shadows. [ the elemental ] the elemental controls the four elements of air, water, fire, and earth. I donβt think I need to further explain this power. [ the giver ] the giver has the ability to heal and destroy. the giver can give, and the giver can take away. the giver oftentimes works closely with the blood. the giver is like a life essence and is associated with the life and the death as they are closely related. the giver can breathe new life and take away all. they can grow and wipe out all flora in the surrounding area. the giver controls all life. [ the dreamer ] the dreamer has the ability to alter peoples' dreams and perceptions of reality. the dreamer is able to create illusions both in reality and in the dream world. the dreamer is able to tell others' emotions and can sense others with abilities. [ the breeze ] the breeze has the ability to transport anywhere within a reasonable distance as long as they imagine it properly. the breeze also has the ability to walk and exist in the space between the realms and draw power from it. [ the manipulator ] the manipulator has the ability to enter someoneβs mind by either touching them or breaking through their mental barriers if they are untrained against such attacks. once in the personβs mind they are able to shatter it or erase memories or alter any memories they choose, even every single memory in their mind if they wish. the manipulator can look through a personβs entire life by entering their mind and sifting through their memories. by altering the personβs memories, the manipulator may also alter what decisions the person might make in the feature and is very closely related to the empath in this aspect. [ the empath ] the empath has the ability to completely understand otherβs emotions and manipulate them. the empath can attack someone personally since they know exactly how they feel and can use this knowledge to play against them. the empath can affect peopleβs future decisions by manipulating their emotions toward a certain person, object, or subject, or by just manipulating their emotions in general. with enough practice, they are able to effect multiple people at once. [ the sense ] the sense has the ability to manipulate other people's senses while heightening their own. they can manipulate all five sense of sound, taste, touch, hearing, and sight. [ the poisoner ] the poisoner has the ability to come in contact with any and all poisons without having too much of an adverse reaction. training helps the negative reactions dissipate all together. the poisoner has a seemingly natural knowledge of all poisons and venoms and is able to make extremely lethal poisons. [ the speaker ] the speaker is able to communicate with and control animals. the speaker can tell animals what to do, keep the calm, put them in a rage, pretty much anything. [ the changeling ] the changeling is able to change their appearance to mimic their person. this includes height, weight, facial features, skin tone, and everything else. [ the seer ] the seer is able to predict futures to an extent when touching someone. when not touching someone, they have a sort of precognition where they can sense events about to happen but can't tell exactly what they are. with training the seer would be able to see farther into the future and possibly know what major events were to happen. [ the tech ] the tech can draw energy from electrical bodies and utilize it. they can also direct lightning, electrical charge, and electrical flow. [ the animator ] the animator has the ability to bring inanimate objects to life at will.
THE DIVINITIES. the divinities are one. they were born together and they will die together. if one lives or tries to work without the other, their powers will cease and will not function. they must always work together and are siblings. think of Yin and Yang.
[ the death ] the death controls nether, the creation essence that makes up the realms of the living and the dead. nether is what allows the soul to be taken and severed from the body. the death can control the souls of the dead and move souls from the underworld into new bodies, but cannot give life. [ the life ] the life controls aether, the creation essence that exists in all beings. the life has the power to create new beings, take away the soul of beings, and give new souls to beings. the life also has the power to manipulate souls
if you want to join, great! just fill this out. I fully reserve the right to ask you to either PM me or post a writing sample. character age minimum is 19 and maximum is 29.
[ power name ] character name age. gender. 100 pixel faceclaim. if you need assistance with the faceclaim, please ask for help if any crushes, relationships list here. screen name.

here's a little info on where the group lives:
The House of Wind is located in rural Washington state and is a little trip away from Seattle. It is owned by Nadezhda Ivanischev and was originally bought by her when realized her powers. It is a very modern house and only has one room above ground level, the atrium. Everything else is below ground level. There are a multitude of rooms for the seven and the others and also studies, personal gymnasiums, movie rooms . . . basically any room that could be in a mansion is inside of the House of Wind. Above ground there is an infinity pool with a very small pool house located directly next to it. There is also a pool below ground that is kept very cool and is usually dimly lit. All residents are permitted by Nadezhda to personalize their rooms however they would like. The House of Wind is a safe place for powered persons and the area surrounding it is safe as well

{ nakai. It had been a long year for Nakai. He had started it off alone and ended it with six others living in the extravagant home he had constructed specifically for them and guests, all paid for by his trust fund and inheritance. Both his mother and father, Julianna and Adranis Khaana, had died shortly before his hardest year yet had begun - his mother from cancer and his father from suicide. It had been so stressful that it had brought out something in him that was dangerous and incredibly ghastly - his blood power. But all of the stress had been distributed on the six other's shoulders when he had met them, the dreamer being the first to take the weight. He had found the dream first, or rather the dreamer had found him. After the others - the shadow, the divinities, the elemental, and the giver - joined up, rankings were quickly established with Nakai being their leader and the dreamer being there second in command. Nakai didn't exactly mind leadership but it sometimes got on his nerves, like today. He was luckily able to found solace in one of the empty rooms in the expansive House of Wind. It was one of his favorite rooms, one that overlooked the vast, seemingly eternally foggy forest surrounding them. Today it had decided to rain and brought down a rather relaxed yet dismal mood upon the house. Damn Washington.

OOC The dreamer ;; Alistair Vecktombordra 19. Male Alistair is tall and fit, with a sort of creamy skin tone and black shaggy hair that could use a trim, dyed neon green underneath(it's a new color for him), his eyes are almond shaped and green as well, has a few freckles, nice jawline. He's honestly so naive and innocent that it hurts, very particular about his personal space being invaded, and likes to live dangerously. S'more
It's hard describing him in so little words.
