Chatterbox: Inkwell

Labyrinth City RP

You know who we are. We know who you are. No one has ever seen us, no one ever will. But you know us, in the very back of your mind, you know who we are. We sneak into your nightmares while you sleep. We tread silently under your floorboards, but you never know we're there. We now offer you a once-in-lifetime opportunity. Meet us at Fifth Avenue East; you'll know where we reside. 12:00 A.M. Tomorrow. At the stroke of midnight. Look under the blue manhole cover. 

P.S. Don't be late. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The note strikes you as odd. 

You live in Horack City, a regular city, skyscrapers lining the horizon, clean cars roaming the well-paved streets. That's the good part of town. You live in what's known as the bad part. Typical; tall brick buildings squashed up against one another, dark back alleys and side streets, contrasting the forlorn grey sky. It seems never to change. The clouds are seemingly glued into place; never moving, hardly even raining. 

Ever. 

You live out your days in a worn grey hoodie and ripped up jeans, eyes downcast, wandering the side streets and back alleys to and from school. Your only pastime is hiding in corners, listening to conversations and watching people argue while you cower behind gutter spouts. They've never noticed. It's all you're good at. 

You've always hoped to find out about a special talent of yours, something that makes you different. Maybe you'd be able to tell time exactly, without ever seeing a clock. Maybe you'd be able to see the truths, or lies, where others couldn't. Maybe you'd get invited to join a secret society and change the world. But you're used to dreams not coming true. You've taught yourself never dream, for it will only become the echo of a forgotten song. By what you know about this city, the only things that can get a person out of the mud puddles and side alleys is a fair pitched singing voice or a well played card. 

But you know you're different, deep down. 

Strange things have happened in your minds eye, but your mind won't turn them over and over and over again. Because that produces answers. Answers that your mind doesn't want you to know. 

What you don't know is that there is an underground city beneath your feet; called Labyrinth City, it is full of criminals, Pirates, and vigilantes who've changed their ways. But the city wouldn't accept them, so they made their own city. They even now tread under your floorboards at night, scrounging for food and supplies. And they need talented children to join them. Children like yourself. 

Something else you don't know is that you may be a cyborg, shapeshifter, or have special powers and abilities. They just have yet to surface. 

Just like the wind that blew your hair from you face, then stopped suddenly, but not before you glimpsed the note. You hate to worry your parents like this, but nevertheless, you know where you'll have to be at midnight tomorrow. 

And you're ready.

Okay! I think this is my 3rd, 4th, RP, but all my others have died! Gasp! So, please keep this one alive! 

Here's the plot: 

You've already heard half of it. You live in Horack City, you find a note inviting you to a meeting at midnight. Basically, what you don't know, is that under the 'blue manhole cover' is an underground city of thieves, vagabonds, and pirates. Only they've changed their ways. But not being accepted into the above city because of their backgrounds, they built their own. At night they sneak under floorboards and between houses, looking for spare food and provisions. They plan to transform their city. I need a little help on the rest of the plot, though. So any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Everyone that joins is either a human, shapeshifter, or cyborg. Here are the options. 

Shapeshifters: Only four please, and only one of each. You can be a....

Shadow Wolf (black fur, dark eyes, agile build, can blend with shadows and manipulate them)

Frost Panther (white-blue tinted fur, sapphire colored eyes, can create ice, snow, and frost and withstand cold temperatures.)

Winged Stallion (chestnut or oak colored, white wings, can fly, basically a pegasus)

Ignis Bear (red or orange tinted fur, can create fire, walk in fire, create heat, and create light)

Note: No shapeshifters are in complete control of their powers. Think Elsa in the beginning of Frozen. This way, no one will be OP.  No shapeshifters even know about their powers until we are into the RP. 

Cyborgs: Again, only four, and only one of each type. 

Metallic (your body is made of metal that looks and acts exactly like skin. You can withstand more than a regular human)

Techie (you have extra technology virtually built into your body. For instance, you have a keypad inside your brain that people can hack into [though it's very complicated and virtually impossible] as well as scanner eyes.)

Robo (you are part robot. You might have a computer system in any part of your body, as well as talk and move strange)

Half Steel (you have some steel body parts. It can be an arm, a leg, an eye, anything you choose. They aren't visibly steel until later in the RP though, because of high tech coverings that you don't know exist)

Note: Again, the powers are limited. And you don't know about them yet. 

Humans: four types, one of each. 

Mind Reader (you have very limited mind reading/prediction skills.)

Levitator (you can levitate from the ground for short periods of time.)

Time Warper (you have very limited time warping skills, as in you can replay a few seconds from the past, or make yourself one or two days older. You can also tell time exactly. )

Truth Seeker (you always know what's the truth and what's a lie)

Note: see previous note. 

Regular Human: four, one of each. 

Nerd (knows a lot, reads a lot)

Tech Nerd (can work and build technology)

Riddler (clever, solves mysteries and riddles easily)

Agility Freak (backflips, handstands, karate, you name it)

Note: these are normal humans, but very talented. 

Remember LIMITED POWERS. That's the key.
