This is a remake/revival of the Conflicted/Abnormals series. Since that was one of the most fun series of rps, I thought it deserved to be brought back from the beginning, with a whole new cast of characters and possibilities for the plot (Not leaving out the major battles.)

 

Situation:

In this world there are people known as 'Abnormals', who are born with powers, however many of them live in hiding and in fear of an organization known as the ICC (Investigate, Capture, Contain) which exists solely to exterminate or enslave Abnormals. At worst, the ICC take Abnormals to laboratories to be experimented on. Most Abnormals want to live in peace beside the 'Normals', as they call people who do not have powers, and do everything they can to stay out of the spotlight. There is another organization, however, called Oppugnant, which is led by an extremely powerful Abnormal who believes them to be superior to the Normals, and wants to take control over them. It is also rumoured that among their ranks is a master of mind control.

 

Plot:

The story begins in a city in which the Oppugnant's main ranks reside. Naturally, this city is also crawling with ICC, and ICC bases disguised as other, harmless facilities, as they attempt to catch the leader.

For a long while, something has been brewing, and even those Abnormals furthest removed from the action know that revolution is on its way. The Oppugnant's leader has set their eyes on the ICC's main headquarters in Russia, and although extremely powerful, they lack the numbers to engage in combat, but they have absolutely no problem with forcing unsuspecting Abnormals to fight.

 

Characters:

You may have as many characters as you want, but make sure it is a number you feel you can control. The characters can be ICC, Oppugnant, individual Abnormal or Normals with their own motives, or members of smaller, unimportant organizations. If you want to be the leader of Oppugnant, please ask first. That role will be open for the first few pages, but if no one asks before then, I will play them.

 

Rules:

  1. No God-modding. Other than the leader of Oppugnant, no character should be near invincible, and even the leader should have weaknesses. (In the original, the leader died at the end of the first rp. That doesn't have to happen this time, but they can't be completely unkillable.)
  2. On the other hand, don't make your character so weak they have to be rescued every five minutes. It's annoying and no one ever wants to stop what they're doing to rescue the same character over and over.
  3. Everyone's characters are equally important. If it turns out that your character becomes a centre of many essential plots, then fair enough, but make sure you let others have their plot twists/back stories/side plots/etc. Don't ignore them or be like: "Ok...BUT NOW LOOK AT ME!"
  4. Don't kill someone else's character without their permission. It's rude.
  5. If you want to leave or feel you can no longer continue for whatever reason, kill your character or make them leave the group. Don't leave everyone stuck in a situation depending on your character.
  6. Violence and romance is encouraged - especially violence - but don't go overboard.
  7. Try to use correct grammar/punctuation/spelling.Typos are inevitable but we're not texting.
  8. Have fun. ^w^

Profiles:

Name:

Age:

Appearance:

Affiliation: (ICC/Oppugnant/Independant/small organization (name of))

Power: (If any.)

Other: (Optional.)

 

You do not need to ask before joining, only if you want to be the leader of Oppugnant, just to stop loads of people claiming to be them all at once.

Name: Jackal.

Age: 19.

Appearance: Kassim.full.1469942.jpg

Affiliation: Oppugnant.

Power: Teleportation.

Other: He recently started stealing from Normals on the side of his work with Oppugnant. It is unclear why. His power makes stealing an easy task.

 

Name: Tim.

Age: 22.

Appearance: tumblr_mlf8y3ujEB1rxpxd5o1_500_zps938cb6

Affiliation: Independent.

Power: Control over spirits.

Other: Although he works as a teaching assistant, keeping his powers to himself mostly, he is concerned by the large number of ICC flooding the city recently.

 

Name: Kammy.

Age: 16.

Appearance: yns_sora_angry.jpg

Affiliation: Independent.

Power: Can fit into/escape any small space.

Other: Thanks to her powers, she can never be captured, enslaved or tested on by the ICC, but they can kill her. She has narrowly escaped from them ten times, the second of which, her entire family was taken prisoner.

 

Name: Raion.

Age: 25.

Appearance: Break-Xerxes-xerxes-break-29179356-724-7

Affiliation: Independent.

Power: Animation.

Other: Since he can remember, he has been a test subject of the ICC. He might have been born there for all he knows, and he has no idea of the world beyond the concrete walls.

 

The streets were almost deserted at this time; just a few stray Normals on their way to their pointless little engagements. Jackal smirked darkly as he passed them. They could enjoy themselves all they wanted for now; soon enough he would see the look of despair on their faces that every single one of them deserved. He stopped briefly outside a theatre...or, what had been a theatre the day before. The windows were now boarded up, and a huge "CLOSED" sign hung on a chain preventing anyone from going inside.

"So that's, two book shops, a gambling parlour, an electronics store, and a theatre, all in one day," he commented to himself with another smile. "They really are desperate, aren't they?" He took a long inhale on his cigarette, and flicked ash onto the ground, breathing out a large cloud of smoke. "Even if they did find our leader, all it would accomplish would be their own deaths."

As he turned to continue his patrol, he collided with another person. "Hey, watch it!"

"Can it you little brat," Tim grumbled, straightening his glasses and continuing in his rush. "Damn," he muttered. "That's a gambling parlour, an electronics store, two book shops and now-...Hey wait a minute!" He turned on his heel, but Jackal had vanished. Wasn't that the kid who had stolen a large amount of money from an old Normal woman the day before? One of the spirits under his control had seen the entire exchange, and had reported back to him immediately, giving him a full description of the culprit, cigarette and all. Well, that explained the bank robbery earlier that week; the kid was a teleporter.

Jess walked to the bus stop after work to meet up with Kit and Katana. As she rounded the corner she saw a boy dissipear and another man whip around to see the boy was gone. She ducked her head down under her hood and kept walking. "He is just an ass sometimes... " she muttered to the man refering to the boy. Then she remembered where she knew him from, she worked in the library in the school he worked at. ₯Katana sat at the bus stop waiting for Jess and Kit. He was a little worried, Kit was always late, but never Jess.

Ashley yawned lazily as she waited for the train. She couldn't be bothered with College today, but she had to go. Finals were in a week and she'd been cramming for them for the past few days. As the train pulled into her station she stepped onto the train, dropping the change for her fare into the door and it opening and printing her ticket. Ashley picked up her ticket and boarded the train. Listening to the repulsive elevator style music the train played in the background. The trains had recently been remodeled, they were supposed to be more user friendly but in all truth they made people want to use them less. Ashley returned from her thoughts as she got to the campus train station and like a lot of the other commuters, alighted the train. 

Kyran pulled on his messy boiler suit, and buttoned it up, pulling on his steel toe caps he made his way out of his works locker rooms. They had to refit a piston engine from one of the boilers down at the old school house. He didn't get why they didn't tear the place down, they were always going out to repair or replace something from that. But whilst people used old engineering, he still had a job. It was dismal pay since the government had taken seizure of the company, but it was work. He pulled his hard hat on and followed his fellow workers into the mini-van and headed towards the days job.

{XD Winchester.}

{The last post made Jackal seem like some kid. He's not. He's actually major tall, but Tim is a big grumpus from old age and lack of use.}

 

Tim stopped in his tracks when the girl spoke, and tried to get a look at her face beneath the hood. He had heard her voice before, but he couldn't quite think where from. "Being an ass doesn't excuse robbery," he retorted, straightening his glasses. 'But it's not like I can report him to the police either, with the ICC sniffing around,' he thought to himself, deciding it was best not to mention powers to the stranger. But, she had spoken as though she knew the boy.

He turned away from her to continue on his way to the bus stop, but she seemed to be going the same way. 'Great,' he thought. 'I'm not in the mood for conversation.'

 

When no one was watching, Kammy oozed out from the small money compartment in the door of the train, stretching her limbs and looking around to make sure she hadn't been spotted. Never having to pay train fare was one of the many advantages to her power.

Once the stiffness from hiding in such a confined space had died down, she scanned the area once more for her target. She caught sight of her; a girl with long red hair, who was leaving the station in the direction of the college. Humming softly to herself, she continued to follow at a safe distance to avoid being noticed.

(this one is gonna be short, im at school and cant think. ) ₯Jess noticed the man was walking the same way she was. "The library..." she whispered to him. He looked at her even more confused, Jess smiled and continued, "The school, I work in the library, you take lunch there every day. I'm Jess..." She flipped her hood back and smiled up at him. "And your Tim... ₯you have an over due book."

The scrapyard of the city's southernmost industrial movement was, for the most part, dead of any activity. Since a reported incident two hours earlier concerning a local gang, both police and ICC had secured the scene with a perimeter that branched to the whole block. In fact, with the block on lockdown, any morning pedestrians would be finding an alternate route.

 

In the dust and sand filled ground stood various scattered coils, forklifts and the like that Specialist Vega graciously weaved through as he paced the scene, watching his feet for the off chance of accidentally kicking a shell casing or other pieces of spontaneous evidence. He reached the edge of the scene, and looking onward he spotted a few patrolmen sizing him up from a distance. Even as he looked back, they kept staring.

 

Rick didn't have much to say in terms of "well screw those guys" since their curiosity was well warranted. Regular patrol or response cops wore regular uniforms, plate carrier vests and the occasional knee or elbow pads, and most of the time they brandished pistols as their primary weapons.

 

Vega, on the other hand, came right out Isaac Asimov's vision. His outfit was an urban digital scheme; a meshing pattern of gray, black, and white squares that made it difficult to determine the shape of his body outside of plain sight. His vest was a blend of kevlar and ceramic plates and was layered with an array of magazine pouches for the AR15 rifle slung over his chest. Each of his extremities was protected at the joint by ballistic grade pads, and above all, his face was hidden by a high impact helmet, goggles and a balaclava.

 

What was he in the "Investigate" portion of his title? That was beyond him. He was no tech, had no forensics experience. This was just a gimmick until the ICC's real detectives came on scene. In the mean time, he would play his regular role of disrupting public transportation and being the big scary man with the gun.

 

"This is the easiest paycheck I've ever gotten," he muttered.

((It was Winchester for reasons!! xDDD)) 

Ashley headed out of the train station. The sky had clouded over, and looked as though it would rain at any given moment. Great...the only day I don't bring a proper coat it decides it wants to rain.. she thought to herself. She looked around at all the other people who were heading to college, a couple of people whom worked there, teaching assistants they called themselves. All Ashley had ever seen them do was put up displays and cut things out. Ashley sighed as she readjusted her backpack which had all her books for the day in. Today seemed like any other boring day, she felt like she was being watched all the time, but she shook it off as ICC paranoia. She hadn't used her powers since the incident last week... they were getting closer all the time. 

Kyran got off the minivan when they were at the old school. The foreman of their job today stood in front of the group, giving a briefing. " Right men. This is a simply repair and replace job. Standard issue piston engine boiler, parts are already here, just need fitting and testing. Also, we are under strict instruction not to wander, or gander, or talk more than is required. So boys, that means no footie talk" The foreman told them, ending with a light chuckle then looked at Kyran "You're on testing duty today, bad luck mate" Kyran nodded but rolled his eyes, testing was the most boring part of a repair and replace job. They headed into the building and began their journey through the corridors to find the boiler room.

Tim looked at Jess's face, and after a couple of seconds, her words finally sank in. "Oh," he said quietly, a little embarrassed. He must have been the only one who ate in the library. "Which book?" he asked with a start, now genuinely confused. He racked his memory, and then his heart sank. "Oh Goddamnit," he muttered. "Er...What exactly is the charge for a lost book?" his tone was sheepish now, and he smiled apologetically at Jess.

He had never paid much attention to the librarian before, which was excusable, since he was a new teaching assistant. She was friendlier than he had expected. And a small part of him flickered with suspicion.

"So," he added, after a short pause. "That boy earlier. You don't know him, do you?" If she did, maybe that meant she had a power.

 

Kammy continued to pursue her target, lifting her hood when it began to rain. She could see a slight edge of nervousness on the girl's face, and hung back just a little more. The college was just ahead, but already she could see she would have to take action before they arrived.

Two men were standing outside wearing regular, boring looking suits, but Kammy recognized their faces instantly. They were the two who had bee hanging around Ashley's home that morning.

Before the men could catch sight of them, Kammy hurried forward, shoving past Ashley and causing her to drop her college bag.

 

Jackal came to an abrupt halt when he saw the entire area he intended to pass had been cordoned off, crawling with guards. There was no way of getting through the scrapyard, and that interested him. He wanted to teleport inside the perimeter, but something about this screamed ICC, and he doubted that getting caught or killed would make the leader very happy. Instead, he took the long way around, lightning a new cigarette, and glancing through the window of a nearby patrol car.

Jess smiled and waved her hand, "don't worry about it, I figured you had lost it. There are tons of extras in the back office, the teaching board just doesn't like people knowing about them." Then her smile fell and she nodded. "Yeah he is one of my roommates friends...." She said softly being sure to keep a close eye on him for any sudden movements. 

 

Kit stood on the corner of a street looking at her watch and then she looked up when she smelt the cigarette smoke. She smiled and started walking towards Jackal. "About damn time! Whats the excuse today?" She smirked and then grabbed the cigarette and took a long drag of it. She ashed and then placed it back between Jackal's lips, giggling a little at the annoyed look on his face.

Vega felt a nudge at his shoulder. He flinched slightly, then cursed himself for letting someone get that close without him knowing. Still, he couldn't take it too badly since Grayson was known for his reflexes.

 

His teammate was dressed almost identically to him, though the only difference was he carried a Remington ACR, an odd pick for someone with such marksmanship. "Sorry, did I scare you?"

 

"Yeah, totally pissed myself," Rick joked. "What've you got?"

 

Carl held out a digital camera, passing through the images of the scene with the touch of his thumb. "Nothing out here. Inside's a different story. Got a body with some mad electrical burns and a boat load of shots fired--small arms."

 

"Just one body?"

 

Carl brought the camera in, flicked the arrow pad a few more times and returned it. "Nah there are plenty more. Check it out."

 

Reactively, Rick glanced at the screen and immediately pried himself away, wishing that he hadn't looked in the first place. Still, the burnt clothes, nearly-skinless body was stuck in his mind. "Jesus, Carl."

 

"Awesome right?"

 

"The hell's wrong with you?" Vega shook his head, dismissing his disgust. "Turf war you think?"

 

"Probably," Carl said as he slipped the camera back into his vest. "Abnormal activity, no doubt about that. Good thing is, we can leave here let the cops do their jobs of scene security."

 

"And us?"

 

"Back on patrol. Maybe we'll even meet up with Lancer."

 

Rick scoffed. "Yeah, maybe. Back to the streets for us," he mused.

Tim let out a sigh of relief. "I thought I was going to get fired for sure," he said with a smile. "And I can see why they don't want the students to know. None of them would ever be brought back."

His interest was peaked when she mentioned her room mate. "Don't take this the wrong way," he began, half wondering whether it was wise to finish his sentence. "But your room mate's not a thief, are they? If they aren't, then they probably shouldn't be hanging around someone who steals from old ladies. They might get themselves into trouble."

 

Jackal narrowed his eyes at Kit when she took the cigarette from him, but made no move to grab it. He waited patiently until she had returned it to him, and took a long drag, breathing the smoke directly into her face. "These things will kill you," he grumbled. "Don't pick up the habit."

He began to walk beside her, keeping an arms length between them, despite it leaving him almost on the edge of the pavement. "There is no excuse. I was just doing my job properly. More and more places are closing down lately; I can't be sure how many of them are covers for ICC headquarters, but I did see some renovations being done in that old school house last week. I'm certain that one's theirs, at least, and if they're still working on repairs, now might be a good time to search the place for new recruits."

Jess sighed softly and shrugged a little. "Well one of my room mates is a nice guy... His sister on the other hand..." She stopped talking and smiled a big, fake, smile. "Why am I telling you this, I barely know you." She chuckled softly.

 

Kit smirked as they walked, "I'm pretty sure the old smoke shop is their next target, I was casing a few earlier and they kept talking about the owner." She shook her head and sighed, "Poor old man... I wish we could warn him..." She knew full well it was forbidden to give aide to those who had rejected their cause, but still, the old guy was so sweet to everyone, even Normals.

 

Katana looked at his watch huffing impatiently and looked around, not seeing Jess or Kit. The bus is going to be here soon!!! He thought as he started pacing back and fourth. As he paced out of the corner of his eye he noticed two figures walking toward him. He looked a little closer and saw it was Jess and some other guy. He cringed a little tightening his fist around his briefcase handle.

Vega and Grayson patrolled the street, one on either sidewalk and running parallel to each other, making sure not to pass one another. This allowed them to at least keep them within each others' fields of view. By now the streets were still clear, and would be for the next twelve hours until ICC forensics were done at the abandoned construction site.

 

In the mean time, the two were on their own leisure stroll back to their Command Post. "Man, I hate this city," Vega said.

 

Grayson drummed his fingers against his rifle in response before looking his way. "You grew up here, didn't you?"

 

"Yep. Still hate it. Gets super gloomy when the sun's going down, and at night it's just Goddamn below freezing, and now this...outbreak."

 

"Yeah, it's scary shit," Carl uttered grimly. "I'm just glad it didn't start out when I was in the Middle East. Those religious zealots and their blood feuds would've been a lot worse."

 

Rick cocked his head in thought. "You know, this place can't be the only one that this is showing up in. Isn't the big theory that it's something to do with cosmic dust? Other countries are effected by this too."

 

"You're telling me you believe that crap about bits of space rock giving people super powers?"

 

Vega shook his head at his comrade's stubborn disagreement. "After seeing teenage punks throw fire and lightning from their hands, I'd believe that their powers came from a magical piñata."

Ashley stumbled and dropped her backpack as someone crashed into her. "Hey watch where you're going looser." She called out to the girl whom had crashed into her. Ashley looked at the girl she looked as though she was one of the youngest in the college. Admin started at 16/17 depending on the birthday. Ashley rolled her eyes, "Well you gonna apologise or not?" She asked quite demandingly. 

Kyran stood on door watch, which was also part of the testing process, the tester had to watch the door to make sure no one bothered the engineers. He shuffled his feet a little and sighed. This place was a dump... why anyone would want to use it he didn't know. He just hoped the boys wouldn't take all day to repair and replace. Sometimes though it could take them days. He rolled his eyes, he couldn't whistle or sing, and on the otherside of the door there was nothing but echoed silence that reflected onto his side of the door. He knew the boys wouldn't be using "orthodox" methods to fix and use tools. They were the only engineering firm in the city, operated by... abnormals... the others either didn't say anything and had the odd one about their midst, the other company had just disappeared one day.

Tim wanted to ask more about this room mate, but the tone in Jess's voice, and her obviously fake smile suggested it was a touchy subject. "Just be careful, then," he said quietly. He was, of course, thinking about the ICC, and whether Jess and her room mates had powers, but there was no way for him to say that without risking himself being exposed.

As they approached the bus stop, he saw someone else waiting there, and slowed down slightly to distance himself.

 

"Damn, that's a shame," Jackal muttered, dropping the cigarette on the floor, stamping it out and lighting another. "I'll have to find somewhere else to buy these."

He rolled his eyes at Kit's worrying. "Don't feel sorry for him, it's his own damn fault getting so friendly with the Normals. He was old enough to know that if he let himself mix with their lot too much, he was going to get caught eventually...Just be grateful it's him and not us." He stopped as they passed a clothes shop with four tall mannequins in the window, and leaned against the glass on one shoulder, taking a lazy drag of the new cigarette. "You've got to keep your guard up, too. The ICC are everywhere at the moment..." He trailed off, looking up and down the street to make sure it was deserted. "Wait here a moment."

He vanished, and reappeared a moment later clutching a couple of broken mannequins he had found in the store room of the shop. "Do me a favour and burn ICC into their chests."

 

"You're the loser, idiot," Kammy mocked Ashley, turning to make a rude hand gesture at her. As long as there was a commotion around Ashley, people would be paying attention. There was no way those two could whisk her away now, with all the people who stopped to stare. And, sure enough, one of the men whispered to the other; they nodded, and stalked away subtly through the crowd. "I ain't apologizing for nothing."

Kit smiled a wicked smile and lifted up her finger running it over the chests of the mannequins. It looked so freaky when she had finished that she almost couldn't look at it. 

"Good idea... Where you gonna put them?" She asked a little sarcastically.

 

Jess nodded about to say something but then she noticed Tim move away from her a little and got nervous he was trying to get a better point to attack her from. She kept her calm and kept walking not saying a word. But her powers gave her away and she suddenly noticed feathers sticking out of her sleeves. She was not very good at controlling her powers and when ever she got scared she would just automatically start to change into an animal.

Jackal smirked, and pointed up at a nearby lamp post, and a telephone wire. He then pulled out a role of masking tape he had also found inside the shop. It wasn't exactly rope, but it would still do the trick, in the short amount of time they had. He tied the tape around one of the mannequin's necks, and teleported up onto the lamp post, holding on with one hand as he used the other to hang the mannequin, as though it had just been sent to the gallows. The second one was a little more difficult, as he had to teleport onto the telephone pole, and lean over slightly to hang the mannequin on the wire.

Then he returned to Kit with a mischievous smile, and showed her his empty hands. "I knew you'd probably object to lighting the place...so I left my cigarette as a little souvenir." Already, he could smell the smoke coming from inside the building, and knew a small fire was spreading throughout, getting bigger and bigger as it consumed everything in its path. "Come on. Let's get out of here before the ICC scum see this mess."

He wasn't usually the type to hang mannequins and set innocent shops on fire; it was a little too juvenile for his liking, but right now he didn't care. If they were going to take the old man who was nothing but kind to the Normals, they would also have to deal with the consequences. This was a declaration of war.

 

Out of the corner of Tim's eye, he saw something white, and he looked down just in time to see the feathers. "I knew it!" he whispered. "You better hide that before anyone see-"

"Mummy look! Look at the bird lady!"

A child and his mother had just arrived at the bus stop, standing beside Katana, and the child was staring at Jess with a mixture of awe and fear. "I want wings! I want wings too!"
