You are Superpowered: A Story of Becoming Powerful
« on: February 09, 2012, 11:46:48 pm »

The Greatest of us are tempted with power. And in this we will find out what would we do if we were empowered with abilities? This will all be based on majority decision by the way. Mostly story driven, for things that may cause random events I may have to roll but otherwise, the person may fall or survive. It is up to the people. Now for some basic information.



Growing up as a child, I always looked up at the sky, feeling lonely. Bullied as a child, I always wanted power. Then High school past soon enough. Nothing ever changed, it was always the same. I never got anywhere in life. I barely even made it into College. Now, now it happens again. And I got pushed into a dumpster behind the campus building. Maybe I had enough, I don't really remember what happened but I had somehow gotten away from them. My mind was in a daze. I couldn't remember what happened but I was back in my little rundown apartment. What had happened? I try to recall...

-We need these things:
3 Super powers, only 3 for now, and what we did to those guys
A Name
A Gender
Our Current Job (Night shift)
Our Current College (During Day)

Powers: super intelligence, kinetic energy control and super agility
Name: Leon Mainlen
Sex: Male
Job: 24 hour store clerk
College: Mitchford's university of technology and science

You remember, as one of the guys hitting you was going to punch you again, that you suddenly knew exactly where he was aiming for, how he was most likely going to attack next based on his past patterns as well as every weakness and flaw in the human body, you even could calculate in that split second how much force he could inflict with that punch in newtons of force. Then everything seemed to slow down and you suddenly weaved through his legs and out of the groups reach before they even realized what happened.

What happened next was horrible.

You remember touching his left knee with your hand as you moved past and your hand felt warm and glowed a bit. Then a horrible crunching sound and he fell over after you stood up again. Upon reflection, you realized that all the bones in his leg had shattered completely. Naturally, they all freaked and ran off, carrying the maimed man away with them. You could easily tell that it would take months for him to have a hope of walking again while running home, and must have passed out in bed from shock...

Super powers: Mind control, levitation, and self detonation.
Name:Adrian McKickass McNeeley
Sex:Male.
Job:Vigilante.
College: College of Winterhold.

After looking around your apartment, you see the bullies who threw you in a dumpster fast asleep on your floor. You then notice that you are somehow able to "see" into their minds, and it all comes back to you. After implanting certain thoughts into their head, you managed to convince them not only to let you go, but also accept you as the leader of their group. You and your new buddies then spent the entire night causing mischief and fighting crime, before coming back to your apartment to crash.

Vigilantism is not an occupation. Manhunter is, but assuming our guy here just got beat up by three punks before losing it, I want to doubt he is one. Up to you guys to come to terms on.

As for the college DZA, Come on... Really?

Sorry, I have no idea about the college, I just typed "college of" into Google, and started pressing random keys. Instead of vigilante, how about...Telemarketer?

Super Powers: Contact Telekinesis, Localized Time Dilation, Force Field Projection
Name: Christina Glasmann
Sex: Female
Job: Barista
Collage: University of Washington

It all happened so fast. Time... bent. That's the only way I could describe it. The air rippled around me, pulsing with each breath I took. I shoved the leader away from me and he flew back like he'd been hit by a truck. I didn't stop to think, I just ran.

I didn't really understand why I died until I discovered I was teleporting my own spine into my enemies' body as a primary way of attack.

The Alarm Clock begins to buzz irritatingly today. Rubbing my head, I begin to look around, it was almost like having a really bad hangover, the one where you can barely see. Memories came flooding back, and then I realized I had hurt someone, possibly making them never be able to even walk right again... I needed to take a shower. The warm water was soothing while my forehead lay against the cool tiles. I looked at my hand, speaking out loud, "Its like I could feel my own energy being pushed inside of him..." Turning the shower off, I grab a towel to dry off before grabbing a pair of basketball shorts and then I sat on my bed sighing. I continuously look at my hands almost scared to touch myself at this rate. I begin to wonder if it was a dream. Though to make sure, I take my hands, I look at my dresser and I put my hands gently on it. I try to concentrate on the wood that it is made up of, but it is no use. I only stand there trying to understand how it works. Maybe it was just a dream. Though it felt a bit too real for that. No classes today, which meant that work was going to start this afternoon rather than night. Looking at the time, I yawn, it is 11:00. I need to be there at 1:00. But I still had so many questions... What could I do?

-Call in Sick, try to figure everything out
-Call in Sick, I know the kid is in the hospital, I can't remember his name, but maybe I can find him. Ask him what happened
-Go to Work, should try to find out later, money comes first
-Other?

We'd better go to work. What happened was pretty scary, but we need the money.

Call in sick. I would say that figuring out how we shattered a man's leg by touching him is a slightly higher priority than getting to work on time.

I think a sick day is a good plan. Hell, you can tell the boss that you were nearly mugged last night.

Indeed, we could accidently hurt someone at work! Best we take the time to find out what we actually did and how to control it, rather than hurt someone again, even if it was an accident.

I picked up the phone before it would be too late to do so and I called up my work. I should probably understand what exactly happened. Even if it was a dream, it was way too real. I called up my boss, she answered quickly. Must not be busy over there. "Hey, I'm calling in sick, I am not feeling good at all..." She quickly says okay and thanks for letting me know in an irritated tone. Hanging up on me, I sigh. "She's gonna work me to the bone next time I'm in." However this was important, I need to understand how things worked. I go out to the back, a small parking lot for the apartment complex is there. My vomit green sedan is back at the campus. Seems I'll have to go back for that at some point. I must of ran home. Well for now I need to understand what is happening. Walking back out front from the lot I head towards a nearby park. It's fairly empty for now, a few people playing basketball at the court and the children are still at school for now. I go to my own little area at the small field next to the court. I pick up a couple rocks and begin throwing them. I pick more up and replace them, trying to break them or something. Eventually my strange behavior is caught by the two men playing basketball. "Hey you okay man?" He says to me, As soon as I look at him, I feel it, the energy, maybe it was from fear or surprise but I felt my attention focus on him, and the rock flew from my hand, hitting him in the stomach hard enough to bruise him. Seems he was pissed off at me now. He was starting to walk towards me aggressively. "What'd you do that for man!?" His buddy begins to back him up. Oh god.

-Run
-Fight
-Other?

Hoshit! Apologize. If you haul off, you might paint the street with this dude's head.

Tell him that he startled you and you flinched, it was an accident. If he asks what you were doing, tell him that its a science experiment that you've been testing lately.
