BEYOND ORDINARY--
**Prior knowledge of the DC Universe is not required**
metahuman intro--
It's been two weeks since your powers have settled in ever since... the incident. You can sense your friends beginning to abandon you since you never leave your home anymore. Within two weeks, you can already tell that people know there's something wrong with you. But there are also people who stand out two you as if they were calling to you. Perhaps they have powers as well.
non-powered intro--
You can tell that ever since the explosion of the particle accelerator in S.T.A.R. Labs, powered beings have popped up all over the place, namely Gotham, Metropolis, New York, and Central City. Maybe you should head to Central City and get to the bottom of this in S.T.A.R. Labs. Or maybe you should take the suit up and take on the so-called metahumans yourself.
about this roleplay--
Welcome to my Metahuman roleplay! I thought about making this when The Flash and other CW shows in the Arrowverse went off on their midseason breaks and I just needed a little more superheroes in my life. At least at the time of writing this, they are back on track and I am having a great time watching the shows every night.
This roleplay is based on the DC Universe, allowing you to explore fictional cities like Gotham and Metropolis, along with a real one like New York. Imagine this as another Earth in the ever-expansive Multiverse. Our traditional heroes like Batman and Superman do not exist, but Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent are very much alive and well. Media is flooded with superhero movies of fictional characters like Iron Man and Captain America. This allows for cool little cameos from our favorite characters to appear within our roleplay.

rules--
Follow forum rules No perfect characters No godmodding Not sure if this is classified as a rule, but I would like to encourage fast, two-four sentence responses. I want it to be kind of like a screen-play: fast, focused on plot and on characters. Be kind and show respect to fellow roleplayers Make it noticeable that you are speaking OOC or in RP Keep the gender ratio as close to 1:1 as possible (Basically you can make all of your characters one gender just as long as there are enough of the other gender made by other people) No crazy powers like controlling time or immortality unless there is a major weakness, like kryptonite to Superman Metahumans are restricted to one power unless the character is an alien like a Kryptonian or Martian Only one alien character allowed per person

characters--
meta heroes--
Katherine Brooks/ Breakneck| Females|22|Heroes Physical description: Her height is five feet eight inches tall. Kate is lithe and strong, her build is like that of a long distance runner, but not quite as muscular. Bright hazel eyes that are almost green with an olive skin tone and dirty blond, almost mouse brown curly hair that ended about two inches below her shoulders. Her hair often frizzes out of control. Personality: She’s kind, clumsy, introverted extroverted, and smart. While Kate has a strong moral compass, she sometimes lets her emotions get the best of her which often can cause sticky incidences. Even though the woman can be independent, she’s a team player at heart and does what she thinks is best. Which often leaves her at odds with her heart, head and the people she trusts. She has a strong moral obligation to protect what she believes in. Description of powers or skills: She is has super speed and everything associated with that, meaning numerous secondary applications, faster-than-normal healing from injuries, speed-reading, generate cyclones by spinning her arms quickly, throwing lightning bolts from the electricity she produces from running. As she becomes more confident and trains more, her speed and abilities from those listed above will come into being and increase. As she is still just a plain old human, she still has most of the weaknesses that a human would have. If you punch her enough she will either become unconscious or die. If she is caught off guard and doesn’t catch a bullet, she can die. If you find a fancy way of taking her speed away, she’s a normal human without accelerated healing or anything. Lack of Gravity and lack of Friction also are her downfalls, if you get her cold enough, like absolute zero cold, she won’t be able to accelerate her molecules which prevents her from generating kinetic energy, causing her to slow down. One bad thing about having super speed, if she doesn’t eat around 10,000 calories a day, she will faint, not that she’s figured that out yet. Background: She is an engineer who is finishing up her degree and is working. She will desperately try and keep her two lives separate. She just moved to this city to get away from her last home to think and reevaluate where she wants to go and who to be from here on out. As she just received her powers from a recent accident, she is shaky and is trying to figure out the whole double life thing and her powers. She’s the type of girl to have a team behind her, and not much of a loner when it comes to being a superhero. That being said, being so soon after her receiving her powers, she is far from understanding her powers and far from the fastest she can be. Family/ crush: None at the moment Screen-name: Silverfall
Austin Bennett/ Blackout|Male|24|Hero Physical description:Austin is tall and lanky and has long, stringy brown-blonde hair, sometimes kept back in a man-bun or a ponytail. He has shockingly bright blue eyes. Austin looks like someone who doesn't seem to be much of a fighter, but more like one of those unexpected cute nerds. Personality: Whenever Austin finds something that catches his interest, he won't stop till he knows more about it, whether it be a lost cause or not. More information isn't a bad thing. He also likes to crack jokes, trying to stay on peoples' good sides, but he can get annoying once he gets too comfortable around you. He always has good intentions, but he sometimes he can have the mind of a teenager and just goof off or cause meaningless destruction for the sake of fun. Description of powers or skills:Electricity manipulation. Can send whatever magnitude of electricity at any voltage he desires. Can revive people if the shock is powerful enough. Can revitalize allies, even in the heat of battle. Can hold electricity for long durations of time. Can throw bolts of lightning. Background: Austin was in the middle of playing soccer outside with in brother, Jack, in Central City before the explosion at S.T.A.R. Labs. Jack had kicked the ball towards the edge of their yard where there were electrical poles. Austin ran over and the radiation sent the wires into disarray, catching Austin right below the poles. he was rushed to the hospital and was released two weeks later. After the incident, he moved to Star City to recollect. Family/crush: Jack Bennett (brother) Screen-name: ๖ۣۜCrossroads

He has mouse brown hair that stops a little bit above his shoulders with a slightly darker olive skin ton, but still white skin. He has slightly broad shoulders. He’s not all that fit, he tries to stay in shape, but given all the late nights and all the sugary things he eats and drinks all the coffee, it doesn’t quite work out. He did do sports in high school; however that effect has worn off long ago. But he does his best to work out and he does have a half-way decent physique. Carter has light hazel eyes. Personality: Carter is kind, caring, intelligent, and a laid-back young man, who often at first glance seems unable to take things seriously. However, he has often proven to be surprisingly focused when it comes to helping people and getting stuff done. It's not apparent that Carter is a nerd and a geek in a few ways. He has a love of sci-fi, advanced technology, and pop culture, and is very excited to see such concepts made real for him. Yet, he also likes sports and tries to stay in shape. Which doesn’t work out well sometimes. He has great pride about his tech to the point of being extremely protective of it when something becomes damaged or destroyed. Carter is also a very careful planner. He loves the family that he’s got, which consists of his mother and father, and hence he is very protective of them. Depending on the cause of someone, or something hurting either him or his family or both, he’s not afraid to fight back in the appropriate manner. Description of powers or skills:In a sense, he is a normal human being who just happens to be a genius. That being said, if you gave him the money, the time and the resources, he could build just about anything you wanted or needed. He helps Kate by doing techie stuff behind the scenes, directing Kate to where she’s needed. Background: He has parents and a sibling back in his hometown. He knows and is friends with Kate through the lab from which they both worked at. He’s moved down here to convince Kate to become a hero and to do that he’s helping to start a tech start up. He earned a Mechanical engineering degree. Family/ crush: Parents and a sibling back home Screen name: Silverfall

Family/ crush: No known family and no crush yet. Screen name: gamergirl09 non-powered neutrals--
Jack Bennett/ n/a yet|Male|20|Neutral Physical description: Jack has short, swooshy brown hair and has hazel-green eyes. He is 5' 11" and has an fit, but not necessarily athletic body. Personality:The best word to describe Jack is savage. He will say whatever is on his mind no matter what, and will probably just laugh. He likes his fair share of inside jokes, often bringing them up in any and every situation. He isn't afraid of hurting anyone, but will do what he has to to protect those he is close to. He is very good at "taking down two birds with one stone", often coming to compromises and adapting easily to his situations.

I'm sorry, but I don't have any time to roleplay tonight. I have a jazz band rehearsal tomorrow morning. I also have driver's ed afterschool this entire week, along with next week, so I will probably not be on that much. I'll make as much time as I can, though.)
