Since I'm bored, and UNDERGROUND!! is moving incredibly slowly, I thought I'd try Aklyon's idea of making a game that is the exact opposite of my main one. This is it. So yeah.

Spoiler: Update (click to show/hide)

In the year **** the leaders of every world power came to the conclusion that justice is a heavily misunderstood concept. The leaders came to the conclusion that a being that stands for justice alone is what is required to further improve their understanding of what the people need.
The top scientists in the world began genetically creating enhanced human bodies with a lifespan as long as, if not longer than, a normal human's. After thousands of failed attempts they finally found a being that matched the criteria and began remaking it in a smaller frame that could grow. You are that frame. You are justice.

We need several things, which will all be in spoilers.

Spoiler: Name (click to show/hide)

Just make one up, vote for the one you like. use the code to organize the votes, please. It's too much hassle trying to manually count every vote all the time.

Spoiler: Class (click to show/hide)

What path shall we follow in terms of combat?
Note that each of these will be upgraded, and will have a name change.

Code: [Select]

Thief - self explanatory
Brawler - warrior
Kinetic - mage-type
Dueler - swordsman-type
Thief - you're weak, but fast. You can also steal money from people. If you want to go the anti-justice route then this is the way to go.

Brawler - you're strong, and defensive, but slow. This is for the justice route.

Kinetic - this is the hardest, but possibly the most fun route.

Dueler - You're fast, strong, have low defense, but start with a weapon. This is the neutral route.

Spoiler: Profession (click to show/hide)

What will our job be before discovering our powers?
Just make up your own, or vote for one someone else suggested. Only the first four suggested will count.

Spoiler: Misc Skills (click to show/hide)

When you aren't using your main class skills you'll be using these. They each have an automatic 1 point, but if you make one your main it has 5, and the minor has 3.
Choose your main function, and one minor function in each.

Science - robotics, chemistry, biology, programming, physics
Construction - carpentry, masonry, carving, robotics
Crafting - weapons, clothing, hats, masks, cooking

Our powers will be unlocked early, but we won't have much use of them until we start doing things.
So yeah.
Do your thing democrabrain, and go vote in UNDERGROUND!! while you're at it.

Since there are currently zero votes I'll explain a bit more about the classes. These are the stereotypical RPG job classes, but with better names.

Thief - The thief starts with a pistol. The thief specializes in ranged combat, and has the ability to steal from people. Has more starting storage space, and money. And a point in anti-justice.

Brawler - Starts with bronze knuckles. He can punch, kick, and take a hit like a champion. He has more starting carrying capacity, average money, and a point in justice.

Dueler - Starts with all basic weapons. The dueler specialize in weapon combat, and can disarm opponents. The dueler has average everything, and a point in neutral.

Kinetic - The kinetic starts with no weapons. The kinetic specializes in semi-ranged combat, and has the most freedom in the use of powers. The kinetic starts with little storage space, average carrying capacity, and no points in any alignment.

You will eventually have an automatic class upgrade once you reach a certain proficiency in JUSTICE's class. Depending on what alignment you take each class will upgrade to a correspondingly better class.(brawler becomes avenger on anti-justice, champion on neutral, and guardian on the justice path)
Each class upgrades every ten levels.

As for profession it doesn't really matter what you pick. It just has to be something that only pays minimum wage.(for example, a convenience store bag boy meets this criteria)

[Iituem]

Kinetic.  Unfortunately, the ultimate form of justice itself was a paradox, as all human life is unjust (based on its exploitation of animals, plants and even the sun).  To achieve total justice, we will need to wipe out the human race in its entirety.

Edit:  And then, for balance, ourselves.

[Lillipad]

If there are no objections we will proceed with:

Name: Normandy
Class: Kinetic
Occupation: convenience store bag boy
Alignment: none

Unless someone says otherwise this will be what we start with tomorrow.

[breadbocks]

Kinetic or Dueler.
Name: Being One
Occupation: Auto Mechanic
Skills:
Science: Major: Programming Minor: Biology
Carpentry: Major: Robotics Minor: Masonry
Crafting: Major: Weapons Minor: Cooking

[Lillipad]

We need an actual name. You'll see why in the update, but Being One will definitely be what the government refers to us as when I actually bother writing lines of speech, and not just details about the conversation.

Ahem. Being. One.

[Lillipad]

I know what Being One is. I'll just explain why we need a name now, since there aren't many votes.

Spoiler: Name (click to show/hide)

You're the first experiment to successfully contain the JUSTICE personality without being turned into mush. That is true. You contain the personality of JUSTICE, but the strain the personality put on your body made you slightly worse than normal humans. It was determined that putting you down would be unethical, so you were kept alive. You stayed heavily monitored your entire life, and the scientists that you thought were your parents named you something we haven't decided on yet. The name you were given is unofficial, you aren't a full human, so the government treats you like some sort of lab rat.

There will be more beings of JUSTICE that meet the criteria of the government, all are named Being <number>. You separate yourself from them with your name. I'll go into detail on those once we reach that point.

[Ottofar]

I AM THE LAW!

[Lillipad]

What...?

[Iituem]

Name him Law.  Or even better, Lawson.

Also, Kinetic and convenience store bagboy.  After all, starting at the bottom, right?

[Ottofar]

What...?

[Lillipad]

Time to begin the reign of justice.

Spoiler: Exposition (click to show/hide)

The scientists notice that you aren't... complete. You lack the powers of even the weakest humans, why? They examine your body and discover that the personality they inserted was too stressful for something so small to safely contain. They can't kill you, so they get permission from the government to raise you.
The government names you Being One, but your 'parents' name you Law Normandy. Your childhood was rough, as your body was always under such high stress that simple chores were difficult to complete.

In your teen years a friend helps get you a job at a convenience store as a bag boy and occasional clerk. The pay isn't much, but the management understands how easily stressed your body becomes, so they give you more time off of work than other employees. After years of working there you manage to save up enough money to buy an apartment near your workplace. You are now 19.

There's the exposition, time for the game to start.

Spoiler: Update (click to show/hide)

It's early in the morning and you have to get to work, but your body feels especially pressured today. You try to stand up, but everything is starting to fade... uh-oh. You sit back down on your bed and try to reach for the phone to no avail. After minutes of pain you finally feel the phone, but it's... floating? Why is the phone floating?! Phone?! Floating?!
You pass out.
You wake up a few hours later feeling fine. Better than fine, actually. Have you ever felt this good in your life? You call your boss and apologize, promising to make up for it tomorrow. You get ready to leave, but nearly forget your coat as you leave. You turn around to grab it, and... what? Your coat appears to be following you, your bus pass is as well.
You pass out.
You wake up several minutes later with your things still floating there. "C-c-c-could you stop f-f-f-floating?" bursts out of your mouth and your belongings fall to the ground. You experiment making things float, and drop until you don't have to give spoken commands. With your new knowledge you rush off to work in a near panic. Your coat and bus pass continue to follow you.

Next update we'll reach the bus stop, get on the bus, and go to work. What do we do on the bus?

[Iituem]

Play like a filthy monkey. Try to keep our calm, maybe strike up a conversation with a stranger.

Wait, normal people don't do that.  Aaaugh!  You're so panicky right now.

[Lillipad]

Spoiler: Update (click to show/hide)

You realize your things are following you again. You put your coat on, and place your bus pass in your coat pocket before people see your emotionally unstable possessions.
You calmly get on the bus, and show the driver your bus pass. You sit in the back looking panicky as ever. Someone takes the seat beside you and you, in your panicked state, try to strike up a conversation about socks. Left socks specifically. The stranger gives you a look of disgust and moves to a new seat. Nothing new happens on the bus.
You go into the store, and sign in for work. Boss: "You okay, Law?" You: "Yeah, I'm fine now. Don't worry about" Boss: "Okay then."
1 hour later.
Boss: "Ah Christ, the guys I hired to unload the inventory are late."

What is Law's next action?
