People with powers are rare. They're mysterious. Most of all, they're extremely dangerous. In the past years, children have been developing strange powers seemingly at random. Without knowledge of how to control these powers, parents aren't able to teach their children to master these powers. For this reason, these children become extremely dangerous. Powers begin to develop around age 8, and these children are usually on the streets, in a safehouse, in a government lab, or dead by the time they reach their teenage years. These kids, though dangerous, are also in a lot of danger themselves. The government is rounding up as many as possible in an effort to discover what causes these powers and to see if they can recreate the phenomenon themselves. Other groups capture them for the money. The government and independent scientists are willing to pay top dollar for a child in good condition. Other groups, and even individuals, are in it to kill these children.
***
So our characters are a group of these teenagers that are trying to escape to the legendary Inn.
***
The Inn - The Inn is a rumor shared among children living in safehouses. The Inn is a safe haven for these kids. It's said to be on a secret island where they're safe from any of the groups trying to capture them. They can train and learn in peace. Nobody knows how to get there. There's very little information about it, and even less is reliable.
***
Safehouses - Though it's hard to survive to adulthood in this world, some people manage to do it. These adults then take in kids they find on the street. They homeschool them, teach them to control their powers, and then send them out into the real world. Safehouses are the best living positions for these kids with powers, but it's hard to come across them and they're normally filled with six or seven kids already.
***
Government // The government has a special division solely for tracking down and capturing kids with powers alive. They're then brought back to a secretive lab for tests in an effort to figure out what causes the powers. Predators // Predators are a private group working independently. They capture or kill powered ones and then either do the research themselves or sell the captured ones to the Ghosts or Government for a heavy fee. Ghosts // The Ghosts are a private company that work with the government. They deal with the unruly and dangerous powered individuals and can use rougher means to capture, even kill, their targets. They're paid a heavy salary. Lone Wolves // Lone Wolves are individuals that kill powered ones. They have their own reasons for what to do, but tend to be the most ruthless kind because they have no rules governing their actions.

Rules --
1 - This is a literate and advanced roleplay. I expect proper grammar and spelling. I don't expect perfection. I'm not perfect either. All I expect is effort. I'm also asking for a minimum of three paragraphs per post.
2 - Characters cannot be perfect or overpowered. Their powers come with drawbacks and the majority of our characters didn't have training. That means their powers may react unexpectedly and cause problems. Your characters must be opposite genders.
3 - Have fun, respect each other, and follow forums rules. They should all be pretty basic without much explanation needed.
4 - Activity isn't a huge deal. I'm not super active either. Just come on once or twice a week.

Powers -- This is where you get to choose your character's power. There's only one character that has each power. I included a description, as well as drawbacks. If you want a power that's not on this list, just clear it with me and include a drawback.
Super Speed - This power allows the user to run at speeds unimaginable by human beings. However, it lasts for only a short period of time and makes the user more susceptible to tripping/crashing and getting injured when running.
Invisibility- This power lets the user and clothes become invisible at will. Anything they're holding will not become visible. However, the potency of the invisibility fades with time so it's easier to detect this person. They must rest the power so it can regain its strength.
Shape-Shifting - This person can shapeshift into any animal at will. However, they cannot disguise them self as another person, plant, or inanimate object. However, of the user stays in one animal for too long, they will become that animal permanently. {taken}
Fire Control - This power allows the user to control, manipulate, and create fire. They can also not be burned. However, they have a weakness for water. They cannot hold their breath for a long time or swim, making it very easy for them to drown. {taken}
Water Control - This power allows the user to control, manipulate, and create water. They can also breathe underwater. However, they are more susceptible to burns and fire.
Healing/Limb Regeneration - This power allows the user to heal themselves and others. They can even regenerate lost limbs. However, this power cannot be used during cooldown so it must be used sparingly. Cooldown time is related to the amount of power used, so healing a cut would have a much shorter cooldown time than healing a broken bone. Some wounds cannot be healed.
Voice Imitation - After hearing a voice once, this person can imitate it perfectly. However, they don't look like the speaker, so it only works when they're out of sight.
Plant Controlling - This power allows the user to bend plants to their will. They can make them grow quickly and do their bidding (tripping up opponents, etc). However, it can only be used with heathy plants in very plant dense areas. Grass does not obey this person.
Animal Communication - This power allows the user to speak to any animal. However, they cannot influence or control the animals. The have to make the animal like them if they actually want help.
Telekinesis- This is the power to control objects with one's mind. The user can move objects at will. However, it does not work on people and the user gets horrible headaches and exhaustion after using it. {Micah Duff}
Super Strength - This power allows the user to lift things that would be too heavy for a whole team of normal people. However, they get weaker and weaker the longer they hold something without a break.
Influence - This power allows others to influence the thoughts of others. However, it's not mind control and can easily be broken.
Enhanced Senses - The person with this power has all five senses enhanced. They can do things such as hear from further away and see things that others cannot. They also have night vision. However, enhanced senses mean that the senses are also more sensitive and easily damaged.
Walk Through Walls - This power allows the user to walk through any solid surface. However, they're very vulnerable right before and after walking through a wall.

He was kicked out of his house when he was six because he accidentally made a lamp fly at his sister's head when she stole his favorite car. He was taken in by a young man and given the name Micah Duff. This man taught Micah how to steal what he needed. Micah's pretty experienced in the hardships of the world. He doesn't let himself get too close to anyone. He's sweet when you get to know him and inside, he desperately wants a friend.

Name - Ava Martin Age - 17 Role - Survivalist Faceclaim - Stanley Caswell Brief Personality - Ava isn't hard to get along with. She's actually pretty sweet. However, the easiest way to get on her bad side is too disagree with her. Ava believes she knows best, and has no problem arguing with someone on it. She also isn't a rude person. She's just blunt, preferring not to waste words just to protect someone's feelings. Power - Shape shifting Other - Ava grew up in a safehouse, where the man running it had the kids outside almost all the time. He wanted them to know how to survive, and Ava does that well.
