The Facultas Project is a "teenagers-who-have-got-powers" RP, based off of a dream I once had... I'll try to make it unique >.>
In any event, backstory:
(This part added on now after the dream.) It's in the year 2100, and mobile warfare in has reached an impasse much like the trenchlock of the long-past World War 1. World War III has come- and is now splintered into countless related individual wars between few countries each. The wars are overlapping, though, and are by no means small; the only thing preventing the alliances of the previous World Wars is the fact that each country is now fully using their strength against their individual enemies and mobile warfare's current impasse simply remains to be broken by the newest advances in technology, when they come. And if one goes in the turbulent military atmosphere that the world now inhabits, their allies go too.
It seems, though, that the breaking techology has been developed by the Union States of America in their war against the New Confederate States of America, in their battle of East and West. Science has discovered a way to give people powers- in a way. Only teenagers, ages thirteen to eighteen, are susceptible to the chemical treatment that the process takes, and so they are being asked to volunteer, all around the USA. (Here's where the dream comes in) The process leaves them with powers or enhancements or knowledges beyond the level of even the most peak humans in the world. And though those powers may be fairly dim, the chemical's strength increases tenfold if the recipients are exposed to their specialized variants of the chemical- through the pills they get after the treatment. However, though, the process always ends with negative side-effects, most often completely unrelated to the powers. And although the pills of others can be taken (therefore giving the taker aspects of the other's powers too), it also applies the effects of the other's weakness to the taker. (I wanted to add that because taking of other's pills was in my dream.) The Facultas Project -so it is called-has been going on for 8 years, with seven generations and it's been full of successes. But the first and strongest of them, the sole one in Generation Zero, controller of force, has died due to poison that acutely affected him due to his side-effect: weakness to digestive poisons. And so, demoralized by the loss of the man he considered his son, the creator of the Facultas Project sadly goes to start the Eighth generation of the Facultas Project...
Whew! That turned big once I put in a bunch of things fleshing it out.
In any event, time to turn to what the thing is...
It's a part-social, part-combat GM-makes-world-events RP. It's part-social as in training and generally being in the academy that the F-subjects (As they have somehow begun to be called) stay in. It's part-combat (more so for the older generations) as in the generations 1-3 go out on field missions. The generations 4-8 though, will still be training, getting combat in the cases of defense.
It's GM-based for two reasons. The first is that I don't wnt this derailed as I have a plot for it and I don't want it shattered by you guys making world events. Second being that in theory it should slow down the pace a bit, a if something goes too fast I cannot keep up with it.
...*huff huff*
I have a tendency to be a bit walloftexty in my first post... but now we finally get to the rules and signup sheet.
Rules:
No excessivley gory things. We don't need to hear about where there organs went after you attacked them. We really don't.
No describedly sexual actions. I will not be posting it (although if it's implied and then skipped over as in several things on the forum I've seen before, that's fine)
No interrupting it with your own attempted plot direction changes or starting real combat in the social parts (a fight or two is fine but nothing beyond that.)
...Yeah, that's kinda all, now to signups.

Numbers 000 (it's generation zero), 001-011 (I already thought of their characters >.>), and 187 (The main character of the dream I had and the only one besides 000 and the Facultas Project creator to actually appear in it.)

Here's an example:

Generation: 8
Power: Rage, burgundy pills.
Side-effect: Split personaly- one is Tom Oly, a rather meek but emotional, kind but introverted personality, and the other is Subject 187, an emotionless, cold, martial, calculating personality. They occasionally fight, the results not generally being good for either of them.

Generation Eight.
187. Tom Oly (M) Rage
179. Alexander (M) Dark Side
Name: Adam Graff
Gender: Male
Age: 20
Generation: 5
Power: Energy Doppelganger - Can create an energy duplicate of himself. It strains him to lose the doppelganger, but he still lives on.
Weakness: Alcohol - If Adam doesn’t drink alcohol at least once every few hours he becomes violently ill, and may pass out. The number of drinks increases the more he overexerts his powers. While he does keep his doppelganger summoned as long as he doesn’t overexert himself he can keep the drinks to a minimum.
Number: 112
Appearance: Adam is tall at about 6’4”, and 210 lb (average for his height). His hair is long, black, and slicked back at the front. His eyes are a dark brown, but at first glance they are just black. He keeps a hip flask with scotch at his side at all times, which sits next to his black Dan Wesson PPC revolver. His doppelganger looks exactly like him except its eyes and hair are a solid white, and the revolver is white.
Name: Rada Korolev
Gender: Female
Age: 25
Generation: 2
Power: (I'm leaving her power up to you, Powder. ^^^) How about absorption of energy? I dunno, it seems kind of fitting for gel, and blue seems kinda like something defensive... Her pills are blue gel-types.
Weakness: Temperatures outside of the 50-80 degree fahrenheit range. If she's not at a comfortable temperature, she either gets dehydrated very quickly (too hot) or tired very quickly (too cold).
Number: 13 (Unfortunately, that's a gen 1 number- if you don't mind, I'll change it to be 25+13=38.
Appearance: Rada, at 5'4 and 153 pounds, is a small but muscular, strong looking woman for good reasons. Before she entered the project at age 17, she was a cheerleader in elementary and middle school (as one of the stronger, supporting-types instead of the ones getting thrown up in the air and doing flips) and was on the female wrestling team in high school, a pursuit she continued even while part of the project. Her hair is long and brown, falling down to her navel if let to its own devices but usually kept together in a low ponytail. Her eyes are blue and alert, and she has a strong jaw and the bridge of her nose is broad. She has a tribal-looking tattoo under her right eye that extends to the temple and down the jawline, and a similar tattoo around her left wrist.
Name: Cieran Deblan
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Generation: 4
Power: Possession- While he can become invisible and intangible to a small extent, Cieran excels in possession of living, dead or mechanical bodies, cut off from the victims emotions and feelings. Victims experience mild amnesia as a side effect. Gray capsule pill.
Weakness: Pain Feeder- Must cause suffering regularly or will waste away, regardless of nutrition. Suffering does not specifically have to be pain, and needs to be imposed on a sentient being. Drinking blood stalls this process, but not enough to survive.
Number: 77
Appearance: Around 6'0". Weight varies greatly between >70lb and 140lb depending on weakness. Shaggy brown hair, pale gray skin tone and sunken brown-red eyes. Keeps a few small, jagged knives and a taser on him at all times.
Name: Samantha Ridgeway
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Generation: 4
Power: Enhanced Senses, half green/half blue capsule
Weakness: Due to the nature of her ability, Sam regularly gets sensory overloads. What might feel lukewarm to a regular person is boiling to her, a mild smell would be an overpowering aroma, and even someone speaking a little loudly is too much. Therefore she generally has methods of dampening her senses during regular life.
Number: 103
Appearance: Sam is 5'7" and 145lb. She has long reddish brown hair, usuially kept in a ponytail and green eyes. In order to counteract any sensory overloads, she generally wears a pair of shades or contacts and discreet ear and nose plugs. Even through those she has a slightly better than average sense.
Name: Alexander
Gender: Male
Generation: 8
Age: 17
Power: Dark Side, brown/green pill
Weakness: When Alexander uses his powers his body begins taking physical damage, and even his mind is at risk if use is prolonged for to much time.
Number - 179
Appearance: Alexander is 5 Ft, 120 Lbs. He has Blonde Hair that flows down past his eyes leaving only his right eye visible. His right eye is golden, and has the look of a predator's eyes, while his left eye has never been seen by any, but the scientists, and instructors. He also almost always wears a grey hoodie with the hood raised up.
