Heroes of Zelkova
Heroes of Zelkova RP
In the not too distant future, a fantasy many children and adults alike had only dreamed about has become a reality somewhere far off in the multiverse. Imagine a world almost identical to ours: The people there call it Zelkova. They speak the same language, eat the same food, do the same things as us Earthlings. We were almost identical. Were.
On the fateful day of April 16th, 2035: More than 50% of the human population on Zelkova seemingly developed some sort of strange superpower overnight. Old and young, men and women, overwhelmingly strong powers and completely pointless ones, all over the world.
To put a lid on the ensuing chaos, the governments of Zelkova put forth new laws regarding these powers, which began to be called "gifts" by people around the world. New institutions were put in place. New utilities. New organizations. The world had to adapt to the new gifts bestowed unto them by some supernatural force. And they did.
June, 2040: The world has become a supernatural society. A majority of the population has adapted to a strange "gift" they recieved one day, and a new generation will soon prove whether these gifts will pass on or not. Many are living their childhood dream. Not all is well in Zelkova, however. Much of the "giftless" population vehemently protest against the special treatment of the gifted. Many gifted individuals turned to the shadows rather than the light, using their gifts to make crime all the more dangerous. The goverments of the world can't keep the peace on their own. That's why a special few gifted individuals, heroes, have stepped up to defend against the worlds evil. Heroics have become a full-time government supported occupation. Heroic academies have sprouted up all over Zelkova, helping aspiring young teens to hone their gifts and learn what it means to be a hero.
You all will be first years at the massive and high-tech RGAZ (The Royal Gifted Academy of Zelkova), the most popular and well respected Hero Academy in all of Zelkova. All will have different reasons for attending, but all share a common goal: becoming a hero. With pressure high and evil lurking just around the corner, who will have what it takes?

Yup, I decided to make my first RP. For those who don't know me; Hi, I'm Ferris! I like as many people as possible to give this RP a try (I'll cap it at around 8), even if it sounds bad. I'll be posting my character later, but please don't be shy and ask any questions you need.

I look a over at my new roomate Wren, she seems rather nice and shy. I pull out my shedule and look it over. I smile, there's nothing that needs to be done at this time. I walk over to my bag and pull out my watercoloring suplies. I lift them into the air and pull the waterdroplets found in the air into my cup. Humming softely I start working on my painting I've been trying to finish for the past week.

@Aspen, sounds good! @EveryonebutespeciallyFerris, when do we get to the pairing? Also, @Dan B. When does Damien meet Rune? If you do not answer this in a week, then I will ask to ship her with somebody else.

Sorry for not posting everybody! I've been really busy the past week, but now I think I'll try and get back into the groove of posting. The pairing should happen the day after the day we're on right now, so the second day of school. And I also like the idea that not everyone has dorms. I think it'd make sense for a lot of characters, but I think I'll choose to have Reed live in his house, at least for now.
Reed~
As the shuttle home slowly made its way across the city, I found myself thinking more about what Mossman discussed than my partnership with Alynah. Were we really gonna get prototype suits as first-years? I knew I wasn't as reckless as somebody like Karl, but I still wouldn't trust myself with a suit. I guess it was to be expected from RGAZ, they really didn't pull any punches when it came to super technology.
It was only when I got off at my stop when I realized how tired I was. I didn't even do much today, but my body would probably still need some time getting used to using my gift repeatedly every day. Super suits were now the last thing on my mind, priority number 1 was to go home and sleep.
"I already told you, I was in at first, but now I'm backing out. I can still do that, y'know. You said it yourself."
The sudden voice caught me by surprise. I was still in a residential area, but ever since the gifting, crime was to be expected anywhere at any time. I instinctively backed up against the front of a convenience store, trying to find where the voice came from. The more I inched my way forward, the more it sounded like it was coming from the alley right in front of me. I gulped.
"Sorry mister, but orders are orders. You wouldn't want to walk around with that kind of information anyway, would ya?"
I slowly peeked my head around the corner, and immediately noticed the two figures. One, surprisingly, I instantly recognized as the greasy troublemaker from the mob this morning. The other was draped in a dark cloak, holding what seemed to be a lantern glowing green. He was almost half the sleazy guy's height, and he sounded around 4 years younger than me. I would think the guy was getting mugged, but that seemed impossible if the other guy was a 5th grader.
"It's a better option than getting involved with your gang, if you ask me," The sleazy guy said. The kid laughed.
"You're pretty persistent, I'll give you that," He replied, opening the lantern. "But you're exactly the kind of person Mr. Kravinoff hates the most."
"Is that so?" The sleazy guy replied, obviously less confident than when I first heard him. The kid held up a finger to silence him.
"I'm going to give you one last chance, Mr. Mulford. You have only two options, so it should be easy for your rotten brain to understand," The kid said. As he talked, a wispy chain of green fire slowly crept out of the lantern, wrapping around the man's neck like a boa constrictor. "Either you accept Mr. Kravinoff's generous offer, or you accept disappearing off the face of the planet."
"Hey!" I didn't even remember telling myself to move or yell, but the next thing I knew I was right at the entrance to the alley. And boy did I regret it. The fire retracted back into the lantern, and the boy turned to me with a sickening grin.
"Oh wow, what a coincidence that an RGAZ student comes to save the day, huh?" said that boy, glancing at my uniform.
"Let him go," I said instinctively, acting out of fear and superhero cliches alone. The boy winked and pointed the open side of the lantern towards me.
A gigantic wave of green flame suddenly filled the alley and began barreling towards me. I hold up my hands and send 2 shock waves flying out of my index fingers, sending the flames shooting into the sky. As soon as they cleared, I rushed to the man.
"Are you alright?" I ask. His clothes were singed pretty badly, and his coughing didn't sound good. The kid was nowhere in sight.
"Kid, why'd you have to get involved?" The man muttered, pushing me away and stumbling out of the alley.
"Sir, please at least wait for-"
"I said don't get involved!" The man yelled in a hoarse voice, limping down the street and out of sight. I look back to the alley, which is now coated with ash and green embers. Sleeping was no longer priority number one.

Hyperwildtop! I'll post with Rune soon.

Top!

I’m still here!
Ahhh!! Who was the kid? And who’s the sleazy dude? What does it all mean???
Ferris, it’s so much fun to read this! And Mr Mossman, (really tempted to RP as him) like. Best teacher ever! This is so awesome to read guys!
(July 26, 2018 - 9:42 pm)
I'm glad to hear you're enjoying it, although explaining all those new characters up front would ruin the fun!
As for Mossman, believe or not, I did develop him with your suggestions in mind. So if you'd like to take over and give us a look into is personal life and backstory, you're more than welcome to!

Rune~
I stand in a long line of RGAZ students, all wondering what we're doing here. Georgio looks down at a clipboard. After a few moments, he looks up.
"Some of you may be wondering what you are doing here. The answer: Today is pairing day. I know I said later this year but we decided that it would be better to do it earlier so that you kids have time to get aquainted with each other. ANYway," At this point Mr. Redpool flips a piece of paper over the top of his clipboard. "Without further ado, I shall begin announcing the pairs." And he did. After a few pairs, my name was called. "Miss Rune Hyperkill, and Miss Wren Thomas." I spot a brown-haired girl flinch and whip her head around to see me, her eyes showing fear. I mouth "You're fine. It's not like I'm going to KILL you or anything." Wren relaxes and shows a broad smile. I smile slightly. We walk to the other side of Georgio, together, like the other pairs. While Mr. Redpool is busy announcing the other pairs, I whisper to Wren.
"Tell me about your personality." I whisper.
"Uh, I'm and INTP..." I smile slightly again.
"I'm an INTJ-A." She nods thoughtfully. Our friendship is off to a GREAT start...

Ha.
Question: Is reading less fun if you read out loud? It seems like that to me.
