The Facultas Project
« on: November 20, 2011, 07:50:34 pm »

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:
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.

Name: (Duh)
Gender: (Duh)
Age: (13-18 for gen eighters, 14-18 gen seven, 15-19 gen six and so on)
Generation: (There are 8 generations, gens 1-3 are the fighting ones, gen 4-7 are still training, and gen 8 is the new one.)
Power: (Please note that the powrs should be less mainstream the further down your generation is) (pill color is optional, I'll choose for you fi you don't want to choose a minor aesthetic thing).
Weakness: (Can be whatever you want.)
Number: (This is useful for me making a roster- it's also there because it was in the dream. There are 25 people and numbers per generation, like 001-025 for gen 1, 026-050 gen 2, so on. 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.)
Appearance: (Duh)

Your drunk posts continue to baffle me.

Nice idea. Is it a coincidence that Subject 187 happened to appear again?

EDIT: Here is the character sheet.

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. He has rainbow coloured pills.

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.

I would also like to reserve until I can study this a little more closely.

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.

(Couldn't think of anything, so I just randomly selected power and weakness. Results were... interesting.)

It's not a coincidence- I used the main GMPC as an example, and he'll play quite the part in the plot if it works because he was the person I was in the dream.

Since there is potential for up to 187 players (I think you'd want to close applications before this), how many do we need to start?

Name: Felix von Krähenhorst
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Generation: 2

Power:  Invisibility - Felix somehow manages to be unseen by people if he wishes to do so. How he does that nobody knows. People tend to oversee him ( if he wishes to do so), he always seems to mold into his surroundings and if he wishes to be gone...he somehow is. White Pill

Weakness: Bleeder - Felix's blood is thin, even the slightest cut causes him to bleed heavily and occasionally his nasal bleeding is so worse that he needs medical attention. Apart from his usual Power Pill he needs blood thickening medication.

Number: 42
Appearance: about 187cm.  Weights about 75 kg. short cut blonde hair, pale skin tone and an undefinable green/grey/blue eye color. has a reddish short trimmed beard.

Backstory: The Union States brought him into the Facultas project to appeal to new immigrants and get more of them to volunteer. Felix is the son of a German Nobleman who for unkown reasons decided to leave his homeland...

Elitetaco, being a womanizer is not somehting that would count as a weakness.
PErsonality changes (except for stuff like outright split personalitieS)  wouldn't really count.

Also, not too active but fairly active, Kashyyk.
