This RP is Rated M for Language, Dark Themes, and Violence

Heros were just a fantasy. At Least that's what most kids were told growing up. Not A, A was born with unnatural abilities. Even from a young age they knew they wanted to grow up and be just like the comics.
But what happens when A ends up living in a government run camp with others just like them?
Turns out their kind isn't as unnatural as they might think. But it's fine, they're training to be heros. Right?
Definitely not mindless drones to do the government's dirty work.
B knows though. They know the dark part of their job, and they do it almost too willingly. Eager for the small freedoms they can earn doing so.
The higher ups, already fearful of these powers, don't see the advantage to having such eager soldiers.
What happens when they decide it's time to exterminate these super humans? Will they hold on to their roots of heroism? Or will they become the villains they've been painted to be.

Okay Coolio there's a little prompt for ya 😌
I really want character A to stick with being a hero/ maybe end up being morally gray by the end of it, while character B just goes full blown villain.
I'm definitely looking to do this rp with someone a little more experienced just because I do enjoy long responses. It doesn't matter to much how active you are, just as long as we don't go more than a week without a reply (: that's also a goal for me- (I totally fall off the face of my earth sometimes my bad lol)

We can definitely do character templates if you'd like! Or even just Pinterest boards to get the vibe of each others characters (:
There can definitely be a romantic undertone as well if we so please. However it'll definitely end up as lovers to enemies by the end of it.

Lmk which character you want bc I have literally no preference, and will just flip a coin if it's left up to me.

Uuuuuh rules

• Paragraph response at the least (unless ofc we've gotten to a point where shorter responses are chill)
• Use Tw for anything to out there
• ASK BEFORE JOINING (I'll definitely be asking for a sample of your writing as well)
• Don't get to OP with your characters power please and thank you!
• Andrews rules (:

from my cowboy rp ajfhhdhs I usually average at about 2 paragraphs per response

Dane surely should've heard someone coming, but it must be the pain, booze, and morning brain that prevent that from happening. His head snaps up when there's a voice in the doorway, momentarily shrouded by a multitude of sunlight before Dane realizes it's Kit, the angel. The pain in his side softly throbs, but he can feel it growing. "Think I slept funny," Dane answers quietly because like hell is he going to admit his nightmare. "Stitches broke." The blood is already seeping heavily through the bandage.

If he had been on his own, Dane wouldn't hesitate to restitch himself with shaking hands and an uncleansed needle. His bandages would be dirty, but better than bloodsoaked. He considers it a fine miracle that he hasn't been killed yet. By a bullet, by an infection, by a loss of blood–Dane's still on this earth and won't kick the bucket until he's pretty much forced to. Slowly, Dane lifts his hand arm to allow Kit better access to his wound. Unlike last time, he's fully conscious, and the small sip of alcohol doesn't offer much to numb the sharp prick of the needle. He breathes carefully, each inhale calculated to cause him the least amount of pain. His exhales are shaky, rattling all his ribs as he tries not to hyperventilate.

The timing is just perfect. A nightmare, an opened wound, and a pretty man walking in on his weakest state. He closes his eyes tight, desperate not to let himself cry at just a little bit of pain. He's suffered worse than this. He should be fine. But something about seeing himself in five different places, all unpleasant and sour in his mouth. Just a damn dream, he tries to remind himself, but the wound on his side begs to differ.

(I'll have my character up sometime tonight as I've got alot going on today)

Name: Nemona Farro

Nickname: Nem, also has the alias "Maw" which she goes by at the institution 

Age: 23ish, give or take a few months

Sexuality: pansexual, everyone is hot

Power/inhuman ability: Nem has the ability to travel in very short bursts of speed, almost like she's teleporting. They usually use these speed bursts in a zigzagging pattern to approach her victim. they also harbor a slight super strength that gives her the strength of about four men. it's not extreme but it is significant when in close combat.

Drawbacks of power: by comparison to most, it's weak. they can only travel about 100 feet per burst. none of it is particularly eye catching or idolizing. that's also why she uses her own inventions and weapons to her advantage alongside her powers. 

Strengths: Nem is fast and hits where it hurts, she's also very chatty and good at subtly getting information out of others. it also helps that their less than golden connections to the underworld assist her from time to time.

Weaknesses: basically, she has nothing too powerful. she's also temperamental and prone to saying stupid things. she's stubborn and bitter and pulls no punches against her opponents. 

Backstory: Nem is a first generation kid, her parents immigrants from Mexico and Peru. When she was little, they lived in a crime ridden city, the city that her mother was murdered in. Angry that nobody found her mother's killer and seemingly nobody cared enough to go looking, Nem took it upon themselves to try and find them. However, before Nem could be successful, they were taken up by the government to enroll in the institution. She never knew she had powers until they were brought there and saw grainy footage of her in an alleyway zipping back and forth, antagonizing goons, and unknowing of their own strength.

Other: when I get to my computer, I'll upload some drawing refs of Nem I've done! oh yeah, one of their main weapons they use is a bear-trap-like jaw in front of their face. hehe chomp. oh yeah, also chains in the sleeves of their jacket that she uses to wrap around her victim and yoink them towards her awaiting Maw. I might make a pinterest board for them soon :)

Name: Karkota Miller

Nickname: Kota

Age: 25

Sexuality: bisexual

Power/inhuman ability: Kota can heat up the air around himself, extending only a few feet out. Of course the further someone/ something is from him the cooler it will be. He has been able to melt metal a few times, and is working on getting hotter. As in his heat, not his appearance lol.

Drawbacks of power: Because of the intensity of his heat, Kota has unfortunately burned his throat from breathing such hot air most of his life. This has also led to him getting cold quite easily.

Strengths: As contradicting as it seems, he is naturally extremely tolerant of the high temperatures he can produce. The only things seeming to ever suffer being his throat, and eyes sometimes drying up. (He spends a lot of money on eye drops) Kota is also quite smart.

Weaknesses: Quite literally the cold. Because of his hot nature anything below 80° is extremely uncomfortable to him. The colder he gets the more he starts to shut down.

Backstory: Karkota grew up living his life extremely normal until high school. He was unfortunately a victim of bullying, which brought out his unnatural abilities. Since Kota had always been such a laid back individual he had always taken whatever punches were thrown his way, almost to willingly. It wasn't until he saw the bullies go after his younger sister his senior year of high school that he discovered his abilities. Fortunately enough there were no casualties. Unfortunately though this was when Kota first burned his throat, giving him a raspy voice for the rest of his life. It wasn't long after that he was whisked away by the government to learn how to use his abilities.

Other: He's a huge superhero nerd.

(And I'll totally get a starter up for us tomorrow! Also I already love Nem, and literally can not wait to see pictures of them!)
