So, in short, I've been wanting to start a group role-play. I'm thinking about 4-6 people, and as for now we're already 4.
We haven't really decided too much honestly, we're thinking we could come up with a plot when the group is gathered, so that everyone gets a say and we can work on backstories intertwining etc.
- The plot (so far):
Our characters get into an horrible accident. An explosion, leaving some without limbs and others with weird abilities they did not have before. But was it really an accident?
Turns out, a secret organization set the explosion up, and now they have come to collect their new lab-rats. What's gonna happen?

- Characters:
Name: Dean Maurice Watson
Age: 19 (He’s a sophomore).
Appearance: Standing 6’2 feet above the ground and weighing a mere 150 lbs (even though his diet consists of mountain dew and pizza), Dean is a sight to behold. His hair is grossly unwashed most of the time, and along with the dark circles that stand out on his alabaster skin it is no secret that he usually sleeps about four hours each night.
But somehow, Dean manages to make it look alright. With his hoodie constantly on, he does remind some people of a drug-dealer. But he likes it.
Personality: There is a reason why Dean doesn’t have many friends.
He’s annoying, beyond comprehension. He isn’t very good at socializing and he has also developed a pretty bad temper thanks to the countless hours of yelling at a computer screen.
But the friends he does have are utterly important to him. He’s weirdly protective of them and needs constant reassurance that they still like him.
He’s an insecure guy, and uses his vulgar humor and sarcasm to keep everyone at arms length.
Backstory: Dean was not always like this though. Back in High School, he was quarterback, your standard jock, with a new girlfriend every week.
But then his parents got into a car-accident. He was left taking care of his grieving mother while he himself grieved the loss of his father. He stopped playing football and didn’t bother socializing.
Now he’s studying to become an engineer, just like his father.
Accident consequence: Dean will suffer from a pretty bad concussion. He also got some glass in his left eye which will go completely blind. He will gain no abilities (or will he?).
Name: Rowan Penelope Markley
Age: 18 (She is a sophomore, graduated one year early).
Appearance: Rowan has an average build.
She’s a frequent user of heels, and her unique (and expensive) sense of style gives her an unique edge. She does have insecurities, but they aren’t related to her apparance.
Personality: Rowan had her entire life planned out the minute she was born. She knows what she wants, she knows which path to take and what choices to make to get where she needs to be.
A lot of adopted children end up feeling out of place, this is not the case with Rowan. She knows where she’s supposed to be, she has never felt out of place around her family at all. Other than being controlling and stubborn, Rowan is very competitive. A trait her mother his largely responsible for. She was put into pageants as soon as she could smile and wave, although she stopped doing that in her teenage years. But it was good training in mind-games and destroying people from the inside out.
She does feel insecure at times, about not being interesting enough. She fears that the minute she stops being entertaining to others, she’ll be alone. Which without hesitation is her worst nightmare.
Backstory: As previously mentioned, Rowan is adopted. She doesn’t know anything about her mother, except that she is from the Philippines and a drug-addict. This affected Rowan’s childhood but she was fortunate enough to get adopted by a wealthy family that made sure she got the best care available.
Accident consequence: Rowan was gifted/cursed with the ability to read minds/thoughts. She will not be able to control it and the overwhelming noise of everyone's thoughts will surely drive her half mad. The ability can be trained though, and eventually if she works hard enough she'll be able to manipulate other people to get her way. The organization wanted to use her to persuade the government to let the organization get more lab-rats/ continue their research.
Name: Morgan Ashley Norwood
Age: 19
Appearance: Morgan has dirty blonde hair he uses too much wax on. Her eyes are hazel brown, and in his opinion they are the best thing about her appearance. He has been blessed with clear skin on her face, which he will always be grateful for, but her back was covered in acne in his teen years. Luckily it cleared up nicely. Morgan is quite tall, about 185 centimeters (or about 6 feet) and her figure is slim, somehow he just doesn't gain weight no matter how unhealthy her lifestyle is. Sometimes when he has time she uses a little bit of makeup for his own amusement.
General: Morgan is a mystery to many people in a multitude of ways. For example, she doesn't really seem to have friends and he mostly keeps to herself. Every time he actually says something it surprises her peers. He never speaks if she doesn't have something interesting to say, and he has always been that way. Even as a kid she was quiet and reserved.Behind closed doors Morgan likes to listen to music about wenches and mead and watch TV. He lives with an old family friend who is rarely home, so she has the small apartment to himself most of the time. Morgan is interested in history, from the dawn of man to the second World War. Anything after that is a little bit too recent to really interest her. When he isn't watching TV she is probably reading about pirates while listening to Alestorm. No one really knows about this side of him, she doesn't talk about himself.
His name is Alf James Ross, and as you might know; he is a teacher. Yes, for the young people in the incident. As you might assume then he is quite a bit older than the youngsters, he is at the age of 36 years, and surprisingly he actually has a child at the age of 18. Yes he turned out to be a father in an early age. Even though he has a child he is however not married, it didn’t work out with the mother of his child. It was never meant to be. Even if it is like that he is happy by himself caring for his child whenever they are at his place.
Let’s get further into Alf instead of talking about his family life, shall we? Again he is a teacher, respected and loved by some, but far from all. He has a huge interest in physics but also literature, it’s not reallyanything special besides the fact that he is educating the youngsters in subjects involving such things.
He isn’t the most talkative person, but that does not mean that he doesn’t like chatting with others. You will probably have to find out the rest yourselves. Now let’s get his appearance. So he is rather tall, 180 cm so it’s not too bad either. He has natural light skin, but it always has a bit of a tan, it’s a mystery why it is like that. Hishair is long with big fluffy curls, however he always has it tied up when he is working or out in anyway. The hair is rather dark, it has got this very beautiful dark brown color with a tint of red to it. His eyes however are blue, it’s a dark blue color some would even say it’s a dark green color. Otherwise he is just quite masculine, I don’t think I can get too much intodetails if I want to finish this, I might add a little to it later on, but don’t worry I’ll inform you when I do.
This dude’s name is Malcolm Enki Jones, he is 20years which means he is a junior(That’s how it works right, third year?). This guy can be quite a mouthful at times. Mostly because of his narcissism, he might even seem like the type who would not do well in school or at anything else besides just looking cool and hating everyone else, however that is not his case because he actually is great in school. He might not get A+ in everything.
Anyways, his frame looks rather slender some might even say fragile so it does not fit at all with his attitude. However you’ll see when he is wearing revealingclothes that he does have some muscles, he just have a natural slim building. His skin is very fair, it’s as if his skin doesn’t take in the sun rays. He has got mousy hair, and it’s the usual shorter in the sides andlonger on the top, just not as drastic a difference as you see many young guys with today. His eyes are a dark brown almost black color, unfortunately that just makes his skin look even lighter.
He actually got something from the incident, he got some powers I like to call puppeteer. He is able to put life into dead objects, he might be able to do that with living objects as well, at least he tries to but he doesn’t know. Beware guys, the powers has given him this hubris feeling, not that they are new anyways.
Name: Samuel "Sam" Samson
About: This boy at the age of 19 is the definition of Soft™; or at least most of the time. He can be a real pain when he's angry, and when he does get angry about something, he usually holds a grudge about for way too long.
He is easily hurt and saddened though; just not angered. If you say something to him where there's even the slightest possibility he'll be hurt by it, he most likely will be. This doesn't apply to his friends as much, as he still likes to joke around with them.
He's someone who shows emotions very much; anyone can read his face and know what he's feeling. This makes him a pretty bad liar too, as you probably can imagine.
He's slim and very short, no more than 158 cm (approx. 5' 3"/5' 4" ), and he's never been bullied about it; people rather say he's cute because of it. He's an asexual boy too, doesn't care too much about gender but usually falls for guys or masculine nonbinary people more often than girls.
He's pretty clumsy, and therefore usually has bruises mostly on his knees, hands and elbows, and occasionally in other places too.
Background: Samuel has a Swedish mother, hence the surname; however, he has lived in America all his life since his mother moved there, first to study, but then she decided to stay since she met her husband, Samuel's father, there. He knows a bit of Swedish, and can understand it when someone speaks the language, but isn't too good at speaking it himself.
He and his family moved a lot when he was young, before finally settling where they currently live. This made it hard for him to make friends, even the last time they moved, because he didn't want to become too close to anyone, knowing he'd be hurt when he had to leave again. It took a while for him to understand that they weren't planning on leaving this place anytime soon before he started to become closer with his friends.
Consequence of accident: Samuel loses a leg and need to walk with crutches. He hates it.
Name: Monty McKenna. Monty is just a nickname, his real name's Marcel.
Age: 19 (sophomore)
Appearance: He's got a sunken posture and a thin build, standing at 5'8". Just recently let his hair grow out after shaving it for years. He stuck with the new look because of all the compliments he got. The hair's as brown as his eyes, wavy and untamed but still healthy-looking. As someone who loathes sunlight he's pale all year around and likes to layer up to have as many pockets as possible. Carries all sorts of junk with him.
Personality: Being both curious and reckless with poor impulse control, there's no "do not enter" sign he wouldn't defy. He likes to see the humor in life and would rather not get too serious. To make up for years without enough attention he very much craves it and has developed a deep-rooted fear of being alone. He cannot keep his mood up for long if no one is around, almost as if he were putting up a show for them. He has always been a good liar and being a theater kid, the lies only got better. Monty's got a pretty shady moral code from hanging with the wrong crowd in the past and doesn't mind using others. He would rather betray someone than wait for them to leave him.
Interests: He's big on conspiracy theories and pretends to believe that the government are indeed lizards. Runs a blog where he posts the most outrageous shit. He doesn't believe them, just really likes them. Few things peaks his interest as much as aliens - a frequent motive on his shirts. Green is the color of both lizards and aliens and therefore his favorite. He loves piano rock and old animated movies.
After the accident: He received many small wounds across the left side of his body from shattered glass and debris. On the same side of his throat is the worst cut, which even though it goes deep didn't cut off anything important. He considers himself lucky for not getting more hurt than he did.
Newfound power: At first it doesn't seem like Monty McKenna got any power at all - but he did in fact receive one! He will come to discover what when looking directly into someone's eyes, they will believe every word that he says. When the contact is broken they will soon come to their senses... if they aren't completely gullible. On a later date he may learn that he can keep the contact without looking at someone as long as he still holds onto them. It will require much more control and energy and still has to be initiated through eye contact. Basically he possesses a supreme yet short-lived way of lying. Seems like the ideal power to him.
Life before the accident: His parents have been away and working in India for 2 years. Monty decided to stay with his grandparents to continue his studies in communication and journalism instead of coming with them. His parents always felt distant to him, unlike his grandparents. He knows fully well that he wasn't planned and came to the world at a "bad time". On another note, he has a pet lizard named Teddy, short for Ted Cruz. He never had many true friends; Not enough similar interests. Most just though of him as weird.
- Anyone can apply by either messaging me or just writing in the thread, relevant things to include in your message/post would be:
How long have you role-played? What genres do you prefer? Do you have any stories/plots of your own that you would like to share? How active are you on here (how often do you reply?)
There aren't any requirements to join, although you can't just join without being accepted which I hope is pretty clear.
So, please do apply or bump this thread perhaps?
So, in short, I've been wanting to start a group role-play. I'm thinking about 4-6 people, and as for now we're already 4.
