[Well, I'm certainly back after a little while, now, as a lurker. Today I realised just how much I really really missed RPing with my old crew and friends (most of whom are gone), but after a brief, "Please make an RP with me" directed in the general direction of Emy Chan (too many directions), we decided to make one together, with Emy providing much of the story and myself eating dinner at the time. Enjoy, as Emy strived to create this for you, and I strived to eat. It was with much argument, XDing, and strife, that we present... our newest RP!]
Genetic experimentation took a new turn after the Nathi war, circa 4578, when Earth was a smouldering hulk and the humans a dying race. It was the norm to witness disappearances happen for no reason, and for mutants to walk to the blackened city streets, the 90% of the experiments who failed. The motivation was the true "perfection" - and out of this idealism, a crazed, hopeful religion sprang out of the chars of humanity, and sprang the world back into shape.
Now Earth, or renamed "Deius Mundus" - The God's world, consists of two distinct societies - the slums, the charred cities, which contain the mutant rejects and the exiles, and the white, pure, sky hugging cities of the Godworld, where it is an honour to offer yourself for experimentation in search of the true perfect image.
Out of this, came a new breed of humans, spliced of human genes and precious gemstones using techniques thought forgotten. They were not mutants, or runts, but truly the "perfection" the Godpeople had been seeking.
They were beautiful baby girls, all of whom showed special developments as they progressed. Each shade of iris in the children was different, their hair thick and curled, varying as much in colour as the eye colours. Dappled markings and stripes highlighted their olive skins, and tiny gems inset on their hands and foreheads seemed to permit a basic telepathy of feelings and emotions between the eight children (although they were not all genetically related, apart from the third pair created).
Upon reaching the age of three, all eight had mastered what was known as Universal basic, and four or five other less used dialects. They all excelled at the tutoring administered, and proved adept at weapon wielding, navigation, crafting and various other intellectual and physical challenges thrown at them to "test" their perfection. At the age of twelve, each child began to develop their own "talents", as it were.
Lazuli, so named for her deep blue eyes, hair and gems, was particularly trustworthy and brave, albeit a committed tomboy, and could manipulate water on a purely atomic level, bending it to her will.
Ruby was a fiesty child who was passionate and fierce, and had a habit of making things self combust into spectacular bouts of flame at will when she was angry.
Citrine was a sunny and bright child, who had a love of the sun, and was able to send blinding flashes of light, which seemed to be able to cause damage on a physical level as well.
Amber shared Citrine's talents, but was more adept at sending lasers of light than Citrine, who seemed loathe to damage anything, while Amber relished in her powers.
Jade and Emerald were a scientist's fluke which caused them to replicate each other. Both share the potent talent of being much more telepathic than any of the other girls, and sharing a special bond with each other. The both also had a calming effect on anyone who comes into close contact, and the power to simply produce organic matter where seemingly nothing would grow, and experienced a simply joy of life none of the other's experienced in their cramped, lab conditions.
Amethyst was ever a serious and committed child, even from an early age, although the children matured much faster than human children. She was a bookworm, and devoured any text set in front of her. Her powers were purely physic, and she was able to deal out huge mental pain, which started as headaches but progressed into knocking people out by the age of seven.
Opal was a quiet and reserved child, capable of bringing seemingly the best out of any person, and cure sadness. She varied in moods, and also in powers - she seemed to be able to produce each power of her "siblings" in turn, but never on demand, which puzzled her examiners.
The children proceeded to live under examination until roughly the age of 17, where they were deemed fully mature but still the image of a 17-year old human. It was then they learnt of the plan to use their powers to rid the Godpeople of the slums of the earth, who had been causing distress, murders and robberies amongst the lower towers of the Godcity. Enraged, the children proceeded to destroy the laboratory they were contained in, along with the humans in it, under what appeared to be a blood-rage - they had absolutely no conscious memory of it until after it occurred.
Our story starts in the slums of the Earth.
Please put "I've read the desc." in your first post to signify you've read this. I know it's long but you need to know it. Please only take a character if you ARE VERY VERY SURE you are going to roleplay it throughout. If you leave this RP/are inactive for a long time, we will replace you.
