[X] My Assistant

[Mercutio3]

I must congratulate you on finding my humble website! Unfortunately, the web page you have been looking for does not exist. Oh, this is no server error. I mean to say that whatever you were looking for is not here and was never here. I must apologize for this, but I've been dying to introduce myself. You may simply refer to me as Y2K. I'm sure you've heard of all that "End of the World" nonsense coming out of that date, especially considering it must be right around the time of your birth. The collective human consciousness is funny like that. They created their own end of the world.

But your birth date hasn't been the only unusual fact of your life, has it? That's right. I know about your abilities, and I would tell you that I'm coming to find you, but I am sure you will come to find me. I'm dying to talk to you more, but I must be taking my leave now. I'm afraid that your computer has been overtaken by a nasty virus, and should permanently crash exactly 10 minutes after the loading of this page.

Happy Hunting.
Y2K

You are a 14-year-old in present-day society. You were born sometime around midnight at the turn of the millennium. While the date itself is quite ordinary, a person named Y2K and his team unknowingly changed that. His team was preforming some kind of top-secret experiment right around that time. Something went wrong. Something was altered. It only affected certain newborns within a certain distance. Of course, what kind of RolePlay would this be if you weren't one of those newborns?

Now, Y2K figures you're old enough to be spoken to. You have no idea what he wants. He might answer all your questions... or he might experiment on you... It's all up to chance.

It can be assumed that your character was not contacted in the exact same manner as the first five. Perhaps your character received a message from Y2K via internet after the others to meet up with them in the place they are now. Perhaps your character was given misleading instructions intended somehow to mess with the other characters. Whatever makes the most sense corresponding to the current events in the RolePlay.

Y2K mentioned your "abilities", and you know exactly what he's talking about, don't you? Of course, there are others like you, and your 'abilities' vary slightly. There are three types that you have. The first type of abilities are all shared by everybody. The second type of abilities come in pairs. In each pair, you have ONE, but not the other. You must pick one from each pair. The third type is unique to every person. Here are your abilities...

TYPE 1~SHARED ABILITIES
~Ability to see and communicate with ghosts
~Telepathy
~Ability to put up blocks to counter others able to read your mind (only if you concentrate, and this is a skill that must be recognized and heavily practiced)

TYPE 2~PICK ONE FROM EACH PAIRING
~People instinctively like you a lot/People instinctively dislike you a lot
~Slightly increased strength and slightly decreased speed/Slightly decreased strength and slightly increased speed
~Increased sight/Increased hearing
~Empathy towards plants (Hell of a gardener)/Empathy towards non-human animals (Hell of a pet caretaker)
~High tolerance to heat (no heat stroke)/High tolerance to cold (no frostbite)

TYPE 3~PICK ONE OVERALL
Perfect memory~ You remember everything that's ever happened to you. Ever.
Insomnia~ It is impossible for you to sleep. Conversely, you don't need sleep. You grow and heal while awake just as while others are asleep.
Telekinesis & Mind reader~ Move objects with your mind. The heavier it is, the harder it is to move. Remember, you are using your energy directly to move an object. You can also hear people's (verbal) thoughts in present time, but only if and when you want to. If I think about my dead uncle, you know I am thinking about my dead uncle. However, if I never think about my dead uncle, you don't know I even have a dead uncle. (Which I don't.) Other characters can put up mental blocks... but only if they think you are reading their mind, and only if they know you can read minds. You can also attempt to break these blocks... at the cost of draining your energy.
Healing~ Any and every wound, illness, or other medical problem on self or others can be healed. Drains energy greatly. A full body heal can take up to a few days to recharge from, while healing a papercut will take about 45 minutes to recharge from. Cannot bring back the dead.
Hell Raiser~ Can bring back the dead. However, bringing back the dead (humans) uses tremendous amounts of power. The dead person must also be willing, and their body must be present. Additionally, there must be a willing sacrifice. The sacrifice could be anything with life- mammal, plant, bug, fish, whatever- but it must be willing. Smaller and less complex beings use notably less energy. Conversely, the more complex the sacrifice, the less energy used. Reviving a human from a blade of grass uses MUCH more energy than reviving a wolf from a dog (or something).
Frikkin' Immortal- Actually, "invulnerable" would be more accurate, but that doesn't sound as cool. Every time you die, you pop back up after an hour or so. However, your nerves are much more sensitive, meaning that you are much, much more sensitive towards pain. And of course, you feel pain every time you die. >:) What Tyler Cole Jameson and the others failed to achieve.
Light Manipulation~ See Viivi Hjersted's Profile.
Italics=taken
If you want another power that isn't on this list, PM me and I'll add it and reserve it for you.

1) Basic English (British or American) grammar skills are absolutely necessary. This means using periods and question marks as appropriate, and starting a new paragraph at every new speaker. You don't have to be an expert, just try to make it easy to follow. If you are not a native English speaker, that's fine! Just please let me know in your sign-up post. (Or, if you're not a native English speaker but you have the skills of one, you don't need to let me know.)
2) Make sure you actually read the other players' posts. This may seem like it's needless to say, but some people break it anyway, so I felt the need to mention it. If somebody says that their character began prancing round and round the garden like a teddy bear, then don't say they are still in the house and your character is talking to them. Alternately, if somebody says an NPC did something, don't say they did something else. Conflicting storylines get confusing!
3) No mixing IC (in-character) with OOC (out of character)! This means that if my character starts bullying your character because my character is a jerk, I am not bullying you! This also means that your character cannot "magically" pick up on things that were discussed in this thread (eg character's history), and your character cannot read what my character is thinking (and vice-versa). This is also why it is a good idea to avoid basing a character completely off of yourself- you may take insults personally if you do! The exception to this rule is the Mind Reader, but they can only read thoughts in present-time, and they can only read thoughts if they go out of their way to.
4) No controlling other people's characters without permission. I very strongly recommend contacting a player if your characters are going to have a back-and-forth conversation. Instead of making a post over every single response, you can PM or IM back and forth, then one of you can post it in one long conversation post. (Please be sure to indicate that you have permission in a side OOC comment at the top or bottom of your post. OOC comments are indicated by double parenthesis or brackets (()) or [[]] ). In fact, I strongly recommend PMing other members for permissions on different things and possible plot collaborations. In other words, if The Shadow joins, we must all spam up his inbox.
5) No Mary Sues or Godmodding. Your character is vulnerable somehow. I tried to make the more powerful abilities have at least some adverse effects at a minimum, however, that is the BARE MINIMUM and I strongly encourage adding more weaknesses and negative side effects to go with your character's unique combination of abilities. If I feel your character is too powerful before or during a RolePlay, I will ask you to please tone down your character. The purpose of this RolePlay is not for the rest of us to grovel in the perfection and undefeated marvel of your character. Also, your character CAN die. Don't shelter your character. In fact, we have a character in this RolePlay that can bring back the dead, so I don't think you would need to? Of course, the other player is not REQUIRED to bring back the dead with their character. Be sure to specify beforehand if you want your char to be brought back or not, and if the char himself/herself wants to be brought back. Of course, you can't have your character brought back every time... Sometimes, you gotta let them go.
6) This RolePlay will operate on a strike system. Three strikes result in a one-day ban. Six strikes result in a three-day ban. Nine strikes result in a nine-day ban. More than ten strikes and you're out. (I don't like banning people, and I'm sure nobody will get that far. I give lots of lenience with this on purpose. However, if you are breaking the rules left and right, I will be less lenient.) The strike system will probably disappear as we get to know each other and our characters.
7) Sign-ups do not close! Even if all the powers are taken, you can come up with another one. No sweat.
8) You can have up to two characters before the RolePlay starts. After you have made at least one IC post in the RolePlay thread, you can have as many characters as you want. Don't post before you're accepted. Also, you only need one character that is actually a part of the altered teen clique... if you also want to play as a friend, sibling, or otherwise involved person, go for it! Also, pets are allowed (especially for the animal-inclined ones.) No Pokemon.
9) is my favorite Pokemon!! Well, so is ... and Zorua... and all the evolutions of each one... and so many other Kiwis...
10) The anti-password is ! Make sure you absolutely do not include it anywhere in your sign-up post so I know you read the rules!
11) There will be blood. No graphic descriptions of what that laceration looks like... but you can just let us know it's there.
12) Romance is allowed, just make sure you "fade to black" when the door closes. Light/medium sexual innuendo and heavily implication of what those two characters did last night is okay. Just no... details. (There are kids here.) And I'm no homophob.
13) Swearing is allowed, but if your writing is 3rd person, the narrator should avoid swearing. It's not as professional. Swearing is permitted in 1st person, dialogue, and thoughts. Nothing really graphic, though. F-bomb is the "worst" you can do.
14) No bullying between players. The character and the player are two different people. Take out your frustration at the character on the character. (You shouldn't be taking character-on-character insults personally, anyway.)
15) Be active and have fuuun! If this is your first RolePlay, welcome, and be sure to enjoy yourself!

Character's Name: (Birth name)
Nickname(s): (What they go by)
Gender: (F, M, MtF, FtM, Agender, etc)
Age: (If they are a part of the experiment, they are 14. Otherwise, they can be any age...)
Location: (Obviously, the characters will be moving locations throughout the RolePlay, but where they are from will be here. The experiment only affected areas of the U.S.A., Canada, and potentially bits of Mexico... this is to ensure that the characters are English-speaking. In reality, they only had to be born in one of these areas, so they could have been raised somewhere else... which is fine, just make sure they still speak English. Does not have to be a "real" city.)
Personality: (Try to make them unique. The healer doesn't have to be some kind-hearted young girl. Maybe somebody with the ability to communicate with animals is allergic and hates them. Avoid stereotypes and modeling them after yourself.)
History: (All those gritty little details. )
Appearance: (Preferred is a written description with a picture, but if you can only do a description, that's okay... but you could always ask one of our fabulous GTS+ artists that runs a shop to do you this favor.)
Type 2 Abilities: (You MUST pick ONE and ONLY one from each of the pairs listed above.)
Type 3 Ability: (Your character can only have one of these. If you don't like any of the listed ones that aren't taken, ask me or PM me about a different ability.)
Whose inbox are we going to spam if s/he joins?: (I forgot...)
Other: (Because I forget things...)

Aberrant Mercutio~ Braxio Aquarine;
Kayrinda~ Viivi Hjersted;
flamefiends~ Melody Tahira;
The Shadow~ Presea Combatir;
Bonnie Clyde~ Xaia Jumich;

I forget things all the time, and the plot is a little vague here, so if you have any questions/comments/ideas/etc, don't hesitate to ask and share!
