In the near future of the twenty-second century, mankind broke off the attempts of extraterrestrial research and exploration, having charted and navigated the miriad of planets in the solar system, they had come to the conclusion that man was truly alone. The funding that once flowed into the cause for finding new territory ended, mankind was doomed to scratch a living on the home it had desolated over the generations since the discovery of fossil fuels and the deterioration of the ozone layer. Now with the black-fuel in severe-dwindling supply and the human population nearing the tens of billions, expansion and free land is difficult find as new methods of energy are discovered and fail to cope with the consumption requirements of such a population.

The ancient predjudices running between the different faiths and communities result in minor skirmishes on the civillian level, discrimination arises as the differing beliefs and cultures are divided by the governments to postpone violent encounters. As each generation is taught by one-another to hate and dispise the seperate communities, hostilities crept up to the point where military involvment becomes more severe than ever in recorded history. The violence eventually spreads as tension between individual nations and threats of retalliation if the resulting massacres are not stopped.

War... War never changes...

War was the result of the constant debates over land rights and migration, descrimination led to violecnce as countries begin to tear at one another as the cycle of hatred grows to uncontrollable levels.
Fear of an impending ice-age further add to the fires of wars as the larger powers of the Earth engage one another out of either frustration, tension and revenge. With the absolution of nuclear weapons and the mass requirements of nuclear power, the atomic weapons of old remained only in history, leading to the production and wide-spread use of biological warfare.

Europe is a desolate wasteland and the great plagues sparked by the warring nations spread frther and threaten all life upon the Earth. During the great stalemate of 2136, a new weapon is discovered; some of the children of the survivors from the wars since 2112 are born with strange mental characteristics believed spawned as a result of the developing immunities to the weapons of the previous generations.

These children are taken by the few remaining governments to unique military facilities dubbed by most to be the birthplace of the next breed of soldier. once such facility located in the former Republic of America, The Academy of Psionic Research & Development Promising to turn the tides of the the great war and finally bring peace to the remaining two billion population...



In this Role-Play by Aliies (Me stick out tongue), the participants act out the characters of the myriad of conscripted students at the -A-P-R-D-, the story will begin where the next batch of new 'applicants' arrive for the first time, not used to the militarialistic regime of the academy. Here you will be forced to hone your abilities to one-day become a weapon of the government, a Psychic warrior of the New-American Empire.

As a beginning student, your powers will have no refinement or anny significant ability, if you did the government would've deemed you a threat and had you black-bagged. the student starting her are between the ages of nine and fourteen, the different types of abilities are divided into classes:


Telepathic:
One of the aims of academies such as the -A-P-R-D- is to create a soldier with abilities of Telepathy, the ability to manipulate the thoughts and images in the minds of others and to extract information through powerful or subtle use of their power.

Telekinetic:
Although one of the more favorited classes of the Academy, the Telekinetic is extremely rare, most psychic power focusses upon the connection between two minds by use of thought while the Telekinetic can apply their thoughts to innanimate objects to openly manipulate them. As rare as they are, it is possible to find one with a small trace of Telepathic power as well.

Super-Soldier:
Not all psychics use others to emphasize their power, there are those who have the mental strength to apply enhancements to themselves through conditioning, they can use this ability to increase their resistance to fatique or sprint faster than humanly possible and leap in a similar fashion. These are the sole focus of the academy as once fully trained as they see fit, they are the ultimate soldier...

The Deep-thinker:
Strategists, inventors and leaders. Unlike their counterparts, the 'Deep-Thinker' can be mistaken for a mundane civillian save for their incredible mental capacity. The Academy is forever watching these individuals as they can be the most dangerous schemers and have been known to cripple facilities like theirs from the inside by leading revolts through both student and trainer alike with mere words.

One day an old Man was watching Drake fight and noticed great potential in him and sent him to the A-P-R-D to train him.

(( Is this ok? ))

Aliies
Well, the old man wouldn't have given you the choice, he would just grab you, throw you onto a truck with the rest of the children he siezed that day and taken you back stick out tongue

I like the idea, he's in, but he would have to be half-S-S, half D-T, otherwise he'd be too powerful...

Trickster
Name: Eduard Silverman
Sex: Male
Age: 14
Classification: Telepath
Student Number: TP06471
Status: Training
Biography:
Silverman was born in an unknown location to Ricard and Anabelle Silverman. The child was discovered aged 12 when the caravan carrying the Silverman family was halted for routine inspection by a roving patrol detachment. Both parents were identified as having considerable mental powers by the telepath advising the squad leader and were targeted for summary deletion.
Following protocol, the telepath ordered the requisition of the children, including Silverman’s brother and sister (Andre, 9 at the time, and Kathrine, 8), from the caravan, who were each tested at the Portman facility for any mental skill. Six of the thirteen children (including all of the Silverman siblings) were found to hold ability of some kind, as were another two adults (also deleted).
Transfer of the children was subject to an unfortunate mistake, and all were sent to the same holding centre. However, following an unfortunate incident in which the three Silverman’s were suspected to hold a key role and involving all of the children from the caravan, this was rectified, leading to the separation of the siblings and in general a separation of the children from the caravan. The full potential in all three is yet to develop, and the prospects for the advancement of TP06471 are still uncertain.

I was tempted to make a Deep Thinker, but this way seems more fun (and I can't see how you'd RP a Deep Thinker)

Aliies
(I honestly just knew you were reading it... sad didn't know how though... *GASP* )
Nice, A great character as usual, you put more thought into your character than I did mine stick out tongue
Very-well written too!

Welcome aboard =3

Yoshiaki
I just wanted to note here that my character does hold a brittish accent... fluff flavor, that is all.

Don't give up on me yet big grin

need help recap plz i know it only like 4 pages but i am lost

Aliies
We've separated each group into the three classifications, it seems that deep thinker wasn't all that popular so they go with Master Joch:

Joch's group is preparing themselves to resist a mental Gias or mind control, Trickter's character is going first so we're waiting on him.

Master Ash's group is going through a rigourous set of obstacles and now have to do it four times as they're taking too long in the Master's eyes.

Cormack's group of Telekinetics are practicing basic levetaion from thing as small as household items through to seven-ton steel construction girders...

yaujta King
Name:Basil Foster
age:14
gender:male
classification:telekinetic
appearance:Long puffy hair,black jeans,black and white striped hoody,black jordans.

Biography:Basil lives in new york.He went to one of the best high schools there.Later on basil was picked on by jocks and it bothered him.One day he was being picked on by one of them and by accident he killed him.Everytime he goes to bed he has a dream about that particular day.He ran away from home to escape his memory.

Aliies
By the way, telekinetics are declared rare and we have enough, since you chose to go outside, Why not chose an SS or even go Telepathic...

But you're not there to stand back and comment, the point of this RPG is to play the role of one of the kids and learn to develop your powers which will then result in the outcome that I have planned for this Game.
I'm sorry if it sounds as if I'm flaming you but the only older people characters are the three masters and the Telekinetic apprentice Michelle, All played by me.

When you join the game properly, you'll need to take part in the current activities.
thanks, smile
