Hey, everyone! As you've seen, there have been Faction RPGs around here. This one is kind of a weekly basis (daily for those who can manage) and is paced the way you want it.

If you are familiar with Requiem191's Shattered Fragments RPG, Test of Trust is set around the same time. The Building 26 organization has just recently been shut down and factions of individuals with abilities have begun to organize themselves and get things figured out. Of course, there's always somebody trying to mess their plans up. Like usual.


THE STORYLINE

Mainly it's focused on the Factions (of course). REBEL (know who he is, right? you better.) has dug around a bit and discovered an unknown person trying to impersonate him and turn the Factions on each other. This person's motives are unknown but it has been found out that this person has already sent tons of messages as "REBEL". Could he be trying to break the Factions apart? Or start a full-out war?


IMPORTANT!

You will be playing as only ONE of your Faction characters. Yes, I said ONE (1, Uno) character. While I know this won't be much of a problem for a few people, some people have many characters, upwards of 20 etc, and obviously we can't let one player have that much power. The one character rule has worked for many games I've played, I don't see why it can't work here as well. Eh, me and my big-mouth opinions.

Moving on. Rules. Can't live with 'em and can't live without 'em. Well you can...never mind.


RULES:

1. No god-modding. Meaning: no killing another player, smashing a player's head into the wall, or anything that can be considered "over-powering your character". Hehe.

2. Original characters only...or in this case, Survival characters only. Meaning it HAS to be a character of yours from Heroes: Survival. No silliness!

3. Um..keep it PG-13. Please.

4. I (BlueAngel), the Game Master (GM for short), have the final say in everything in this RPG. Like Requiem191 and Volts. But I'm a nice person, really. Just don't catch me waking up. Otherwise, I'm not picky with people and don\'t really fuss over mistakes and the such.

5. GRAMMAR! As in spelling and grammar and punctuation. Correctly, please. I mean it. This is the one rule I see people not following. I'm hoping 9th is better than the other internet forums sites.

6. We will be using the TAG system.

Example:

IC: Peter Petrelli

"What do you want?" Peter angrily asked Sylar.

TAG: BlueAngel

And that's the TAG system.

7. Make decent posts, interact, don't have two line posts, and most definitely leave posts open. Remember that you are playing with other people and you WILL be included in the game as long as you include others.

8. I have to APPROVE your character first. Before you start RPing.

9. Have Fun! As much as you can. If that's possible.

Yeah, short rules. I ain't picky. Uh...hope I didn't forget anything vital.

Here I will keep a list of the missions for the fun of it.


Mission 1 - The other REBEL
Status: COMPLETED


Mission 2 - Special Treatment
Status: COMPLETED


Mission 3 - Discovery
Status: ONGOING

Name: Gabriel Goodman

Age: 20

Ethnicity (Race): French-American

Hair (Style/Color): Brown, short

Eyes: Brown

Personality: Clever, Witty, Brave

Ability: Omnilingualism

Ability Description:
Gabriel can understand and utilize verbal or non-verbal communication without any prior knowledge of the language. As a side effect of his coming from France, his thoughts stay in French while he speaks a different language. He is known to speak French, English, Japanese, Russian, Italian, computer codes, and on one occasion, used sign language when he had never learned it.

Faction: Undaunted

Faction View (Heroic/Neutral/Reclusive/Villainous): Heroic

Picture:

Personal History:
Gabriel "Rapid" Goodman was born February 10th, 1987. He is half-French from his father and half-American from his mother. His mother died when he was a young boy from a heart attack. Gabriel moved from his hometown of Paris to London, because of his father's work (some sort of scientific research), when he was 7. In London, he became best friends with Johnathan Burrows and found out that his best friend was an assassin at age 17. Gabriel joined the assassin group that Johnathan\'s uncle had created and became a skilled assassin archer. When faced with battle, Gabriel has learned to fire his arrows in rapid succession (about 20 arrows per minute), hitting his targets and earning his nickname of "Rapid". He is a clever-thinker and fast on his feet. Gabriel is sometimes rash, but still a good guy at heart.

A quick note to everyone: I (the GM) will be occasionally using REBEL as an IC (In-Character) post just to show how he finds out about the imposter person.

Sounds like it could be an interesting RPG... how do you plan to make sure it stays slow-placed like you want?

Uh...I don't. That's up to the people who play...if anybody signs up.

I'd be happy to join with Harvey Jeffries. What's the storyline?

Name: Harvey Jeffries

Age: 34

Ethnicity (Race): Caucasian

Hair (Style/Color): Long, greasy black

Eyes: Blue

Personality: Obsessed with self-preservation. Harvey wants to live, and is willing to move heaven and earth to achieve this goal. He hates Sylar with a passion, and the various organizations committed to hunting down heroes are his mortal foes.

Ability: Acceleration Manipulation

Ability Description: The ability to accelerate and decelerate objects. More info here.

Faction: StreetLife

Faction View (Heroic/Neutral/Reclusive/Villainous): Neutral

Picture:

Personal History: (NOTE: This is a brief summary. A full history (currently in progress) can be found here)

Harvey was born and raised in New York, NY. He discovered his powers when he accidentally killed his girlfriend. He had a run-in with Hana Gitelman, at which time he learned about the Company, Sylar, and all the goings-on of the mainstream Heroes series. He was pursued by Danko at the appropriate time, and barely managed to escape Sylar.

Theme Song: Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne

uncanny, you are APPROVED but isn't it impossible to survive Sylar's attacks?

His head wasn't cut all the way open. Remember, in Season 3, where Angela was messing with Sylar's head, so Sylar attempted to kill her, but Peter saved her? She lived, but with a bandage on her head for the rest of the Volume. A similar thing happened to Harvey. See here for the full story.

Well, I feel stupid. I just noticed that you put a summary of the story in your original post. So... when do we start?

Soon. Patience.

EDIT: I made a "Picture" section if you want to give people a picture to "represent" your character.

How do you add a picture? Do you have to have a URL, or what?

BTW, what is ur current target number of RPers?

See the picture of a mountain on the tools bar? It's beside the smiley face.

On which tools bar? I don't understand either.

When you do a "reply".

It was actually the other way around. Peter was attacking Angela and Sylar saved her.

Yeah, uncanny, Req's right. It was Peter attacking Angela and Sylar knocking Peter out, saving Angela.

Same power, same outcome. You understand what I'm getting at, right?

Yeah, I do.

I have a question about using our Survival characters, since I haven't modified my character information on the Survival game since day 1, would it be allowed to slightly modify the character's ability to a more progressed state? My character's base ability is self/touch-based kinetic energy amplification, and I would have wanted it to progressed to a ranged ability by this time.

Just a note, "kinetic energy amplification" is simply a fancy way of saying "making an object in motion move faster."

Ok, BlueAngel... Here's a character sheet. Since you already started, I guess I'll wait for the second mission. Let me know if you think I should change/add something.
==============================================================
CHARACTER SHEET

Name: Kefentse Bungudi (aka Keff)
Age: 28
Ethnicity (Race): African
Hair (Style/Color): Short, buzz cut / black
Eyes: Black
Personality: Aggressive
Ability: Hypnotic pheromones

Ability Description: Kefentse has the ability to release pheromones at will that can induce a hypnotic trance. He is immune to his own ability and cannot become hypnotized.

Keff's pheromones are limited to acting within a certain range, about 50 ft. or so. Also, since only inhalation is required to be effected, he has learned to control animals and other creatures with a sense of smell to a limited extent. So, for example, if injured while diving underwater, Keff can deter sharks from attacking him and point out the direction of someone else to attack. However, he cannot add to creatures any innate abilities which they don't already have. For instance, he cannot tell a dog to wait 30 minutes, then go fetch something, as dogs do not have that kind of comprehension of time. So unless he has time to train an animal and/or the animal is already pre-trained, the best he can do is give it simple commands to be performed immediately. Another limitation, Keff cannot apply his ability very effectively on insects. For instance, on bees, his ability has only a calming effect.

Some other things Keff can use his ability for: For the right price or if it suits him, he can use his ability to lessen a person's pain, make someone diet/binge, control a habit/addiction, or get over fear/anxiety. Those are actually standard things hypnosis is commonly used for.

Faction: The-Group

Faction View (Heroic/Neutral/Reclusive/Villainous): Reclusive

Picture (OPTIONAL): See profile

Personal History:
Kefentse, aka Keff, was born and raised in Bloemfontein, the judicial capital of South Africa. He discovered his ability as a young boy. Keff encountered whom he thought to be former SWAPO guerrilla soldiers after they broke into his family's home, killed his father and raped his mother. He then used his ability to save himself and his mother's life.

Kefentse's mother, Dikeledi, was shamed and outcast from being raped, but continued laboring at a diamond mine to put her son through school. However, Keff used his ability to cheat his way to success and barely learned how to read and count. But Kefentse did learn the power of money to feed his family so got himself into a British college by corrupting the guards at the mine into sneaking him enough diamonds. He wanted to get a college degree so he could earn enough money to support his family.

After enjoying four years coasting through a degree in South African history by again using his ability, Kefentse returned to his native country and was appointed a judge. He continues to abuse his power, corrupting anyone he wishes and secretly selling his rulings to the highest bidder. As he could not bear to hypnotize his mother for long, she soon realized her son's actions and disowned him. However, except for taking out rewards for info. on the men that killed his father, Kefentse continues his corruptive behavior and often takes long extravagant vacations to far away places.

On his vacations, he has learned various skills, such as rock climbing, water skiing, yoga, and scuba diving. So although his work as a judge is a rather sedentary job, he tends to keep himself in shape with all the activities he partakes in.

Eh, sure. And remember, can't start RPing till I approve you.



Um...you can still join IN, since I haven't STARTED yet. I just posted the REBEL part so people can pick up.

But, Volts, you are APPROVED...wow I sound like Req.

You only sound like me because you think you sound like me, lol. You could say something different than approved, if you like.

Like WHAT? There aren't any other synonyms.....I think.

According to Thesaurus.com, synonyms include "OK'd, accepted, affirmed, allowed, authorized, backed, certain, chosen, endorsed, legalized, made official, passed, permitted, proven, ratified, recognized, sanctioned, supported, validated, vouched for"

Happy now?

I didn't know we started!! why didn't anyone tell me?!?

Here goes my character sheet, it may differ from the one on Survival but probably nothing contradictory.

Name: Luna Yu

Age: 17

Ethnicity (Race): Chinese-Canadian

Hair (Style/Color): Long, black

Eyes: Brown

Personality: She never leaves a task unfinished once started, regardless of how impossible it is. She is often determined to have things done her way or the highway.

Ability: Kinetic Energy Amplification

Ability Description: Luna's ability allows her to increase a her own, another person's or object's kinetic energy through touch or from a distance, although she isn't quite aware her ability has grown to the point where she does not require physical contact to use her ability. She can use her ability to enhance her movement speed or throw a heavy movable object. The ranged version of her ability allows her to charge a distant person or object or person with kinetic energy, causing the object/person to be knocked away depending on their mass. The ability manifests physically as a crackling red glow.

Faction: Undaunted

Faction View (Heroic/Neutral/Reclusive/Villainous): Heroic

Picture (OPTIONAL):



Personal History: A very impulsive girl who always seizes the opportunities that lie before her, even when she was younger, Luna was always a very active as a child and was always seen running everywhere. Although she has mostly calmed down as she grew up, Luna still retains her very impulsive nature, always wanting to get one step ahead of everyone else. Her personality sometimes backfires against her as well, as she can miss obvious warning signs in her haste. It is not known exactly when her ability first manifested, as she has always shown unusual speed ever since she was a child, so Luna regards her ability as something that she always had.

Didn't mean LITERAL synonyms...

uncanny, um...sorry?

Yuriko, you are...*looks at uncanny's list*....ACCEPTED

I'm so saving that list.



Waitaminute, is this the Luna that's in the Top Ten Rankings?

Yessir, that is me Although it seems I'm going to be bumped off the top 10 soon.

lol, whoops.

Posted my first reply. Tried to stay in character and not ruin any part of the story. If I screwed something up, sorry, but I'm relatively new at this. Just let me know and I'll change it.

If you're wondering how Harvey was so good with computers, he was a former computer repairman. Not sure if I mentioned that.

Okay then.

Yuriko - at least you were IN the top ten. I was so close (like 12 once) and then factions started being created and I got kicked down to 39...

Uncanny, I checked your post. Nice job!

And for everyone who's RPing, notice that I made the real REBEL's texts in bold and the fake REBEL's texts in italics. That's just so everyone can tell them apart.

Example:

Save the Cheerleader, Save the world. - REBEL

Save the Cheerleader, Save the world. - REBEL <-- this is the fake REBEL

Just clearing it up.

Oh, uncanny474, I see you use a French term in there. Nice. But apparently I had to look it up on Google. I'm not French after all.

It's actually an English term that was drafted from the French language. Like "banana" or "blitzkreig". A synonym is "pseudonym", but "nom de guerre" sounds fancier, so I used that.

Oh, well.

Is this RP dead? Nobody's posted in, like, a month.

Ah, no. It's not...DEAD. More like..rotting.

I've been..ah...grounded for getting detention (if you've seen my Undaunted and StreetLife posts, as I told both factions why my characters were dropping). So...just...ermm...continue. As some theater dude said, "The show must go on!"

Without me.

Ahem. *clears throat*



Just so ya know.

I just randomly saw this on Req's Shattered Fragments OOC thread and just decided to..uh...have a go.

Gabriel's Theme Tune

Because...I don't really know. D:

Finally! Frankenstein Syndrome!

It Lives!!

I posted a picture of Harvey. It was taken during his flight from Danko.

Heh. Anyway, if Gabriel ever speaks French, by accident, I'll post the translation here.

Monsieur = Sir
Range ça = Put those away

Blah, my last post seemed a little off since I started writing it before you (BlueAngel) posted. Oh wells.

You know you can still edit it. >__>

Seemed fine to me. Why is everyone so uptight about Harvey killing people in public () ?

YAY!! No post limits (not that I'm gonna speed this up too much--I just find post limits to be annoying (I'm sure Yuriko knows what I'm talking about). Freezing, too, for that matter).

Wuz a post limit?

We all uptight 'cause..well, he looks like a hobo!

Show of hands: Who forgot about the people on Gabriel's tail?

And what does looking like a hobo have to do with not killing people? Sylar doesn't look like a hobo, but everyone gets angry at him when he kills somebody (except Sylar fanboys/fangirls like me )

EDIT: Do you think it would make people angry if I shamelessly advertised my RP on this or other OOC threads?

*doesn't raise hand*

I remembered. And was waiting for you people to remember. I go make chase scene! Cause it's fun!

Sylar has big, bushy eyebrows. That's why we hate him. He has distracting eyebrows.

Yes, you shameless-advertiser. Advertise it on faction threads. Not here. Try the RPG recruitment thread, eh?

Nobody ever looks at that! And Requiem always posts and makes mine disappear!

Actually, Sylar has nice eyebrows. He waxes them. Related thread here.

Booyah! Actually found a use for that thread!

......

Bonne chance, mes amis = Good luck, my friends.

I'm taking all of this French from here: http://translate.reference.com/

Good for any language.

I knew that! It's from Spider Man 3! Spoken by Bruce Campbell, the best actor ever. Ever.

And that translator can't do Latin. Hah!

Meh. I never knew it was from Spider-Man 3..

Why do you have to pick on the translator? And who would speak Latin in an RP post?

I only use it for Gabe's ability.

EDIT: Hey, no cursing! Wait...you trailed off. Never mind. But anyway, the address (which is made-up. there's no Aquirla Drive in Jacksonville. Well I wouldn't know.) is Gabriel's apartment. Got there if you want. Meanwhile, I gotta go portray the REBEL/fake REBEL posts.

Je ne peux pas croire que les agents sont de retour. J'espère Harvey et Luna ne pas se blesser. Que dois-je faire maintenant? = I can't believe the agents are back. I hope Harvey and Luna don't get hurt. What do I do now?


Such a simple dialogue and it looks so professional in French! Foreign makes everything look 10 times cooler!

Also, notice that names are still in English.

Am I the only person who watches movies?

Everyone should speak Latin all the time. Latin is amazing. Bow to the superior Roman Race!

Muahahahahahahahahahahahah!!

For Uncanny474, it was my personal mistake that Luna didn't give Harvey her name, as I thought Harvey already knew it. It would have been out of character for Luna to not give her name in that situation. When you read this post, tell me and I'll fix it then you can follow by editing Harvey's dialogue to match.

I see it. Don't worry about being OOC; it's a tiny mistake, and it's not worth rewriting the scene twice. But if you absolutely must, I'll rewrite when I can.
