The Machine OOC

Ok, I'm starting a brand new RPG that I think is really cool. I'e bever done so much research and thinking to develope a story line as I did on this one. Please read it through and if you have any questions just ask. I'll be adding some more later, but let me know if you wish to join. The rules and Story lines are in post #9.

Here it is:






During the Anglo-Spanish War in 1588, a privatly funded Spanish scientist attempted to create a machine that would advance the human body and create the ideal soldiers. He convinced the governemtn to allow him to test it on a select group of soldiers. To his horror, it failed drastically, mutating the men into grotesque creatures that died shortly after creating. His funding was pulled and the government locked away the secret of the horrible accident. When the Spanish lost, the scientist fled to england in hopes of escaping his tarnished name.

He remained there, unable to find his flaw. However, his young British apprentice took over the ideal after his death, hoping that the completion of the machine would give England an edge over its adversaries. The machine passed through many hands before the time for its next test was upon the. In 1776, Britain was desperate to defeat the American rebels, and agreed to a classified testing of the enhancer. The men at first saw no changes in their physical apperance, but soon, their muscles began to deteriorate, and they died. Once again, the machine had failed.

The man fled the governments anger by escaping to Germany, hoping that the government would fund further studies to enhance their troops. He was correct. He continued the tradition, takking in a worthy apprentice, teaching him the arts of the trade. In 1914 the government demanded to see results for use against Rusia and France. Once again the machine was put to the test. This time both male and female volunteers were used. This time, the people saw muscle growth and sensory advancements. However, all but one died of brain anurisms caused by the quick changes in their bodies. The last continued to grow until her skin could stretch no more and she died of blood loss from her tearing flesh.

Once again, the machine was moved. This time into Russia. The Soviet Union was the perfect place to introduce the idea of human enhancement. The Soviets agreed to fund the group that now worked upon the machine, but only if they swore to share the secret with no other country whilst they were in their employment. The machine was advanced beyond all their hopes and recieved its final test in 1938. The world was once again at war and the USSR wanted the grandest army ever seen. A group of nine people were selected for the procedure. A few days after the initial workings of the machine, the people began to see changes in themselves. Some were more intellegent then before. Others stronger or faster. They could do things that were impossible before the machine. However, something went wrong. The abilities began to take tolls on thier bodies and minds. Those gifted with intellegence began to see thing, hallucinate, and went insane. They all committed suicide. Those who were stronger found thier strength to be uncontrollable. They found that hugging was now fatal to those they loved. A high five would break the person's arm. A slight touch of the gas pedal would floor the car and send it speeding into traffic. They either died in accidents or were killed by those who despised them. The ones with speed suddenly aged far faster then any human. They died of old age within a month.

Finally, the machine was taken to America, the land of freedom and of rich benefactors and sponsors. For the era of the cold war, the machine was readied for the end. The final glitches worked out. One man,
Horatio Kanner, discovered the key in 1994. All of the other test subjects had been to old. Thier bodies could not handle so much stress. However, a body that was already changing, already hormonal, now that might be able to hold the changes. Yes, teens. That's what he needed. Subjects in their prime. Pubesent children. That was what he would use. They would be the perfect soldiers...

Ok, story line. The man will open a special school for orphans. He'll look like a selfless humanitarian and the government will give him grants for the children's education. They'll be treated very well and learn from excellent teachers. The children will all be between the ages of 11 and 19. soon after arriving at the school, the children will be invited to a one on one meeting with the headmaster (the scientist). During that meeting, the child will become unconsious and placed in the machine. When they awaken, be back in the office and the headmaster will repremand them for falling asleep.

a few days after the meeting, they begin to notice slight changes, depending on the ability they recieve. At first they'll ignore it, but as more begin to see these changes, they all wonder what might be happening. The story will play out for a while at that stage.

PART 2

Now the children know about their experimental abilities and are unsure wether to embrace them or not. The school is on the verge of bancruptcy, so the professor must do something or let all of his work come to an end. He'll decide to sell the children to one of the countries that once financed the machine's building. We'll play out more from there as well.

RULES:

1. Romance is ok, but nothing over a PG rating.

2. No godmodding without my permission.

3. Keep the violence level PG.

4. Keep to the plot line. If you want to add a twist, PM me and I'll approve it (maybe).

5. Try to keep the OOC in the OOC. Otherwise use double parenthesis ((like this)).

6. All speaking in "quotation mark" and all action is story form.

7. Try to stick with multiple sentence posts. If you can't come up with anything more then the one line, we all might have to beat some ideas into you . (JK)

8. If you disappear for long periods of time without an explanation, your character will be given away or sucumb to a violent death.

I would like to reserve enhanced eyesight. I suppose I'll make that heroic...

Name: Kevin Mateus
Age: 17
Gender: male
Cause of orphanhood: Never knew mother, father died in plane crash when Kevin was 14
Personality: No-nonsense, very stern. Only does what needs to be accomplished. Very goal-oriented. Cares little for friends, but understands the need for camaraderie in situations. Does not care for frivolous drama, and will not intentionally get involved in needless conflicts. Is always prepared, and keeps a knife an zippo with him regardless of the situation.
Increased ability: Enhanced eyesight
Apearance: His body is heavily toned, yet not bulky. He runs constantly, and knows how to fight thanks to several programs his father put him through. He has light brown hair, short yet slightly unkempt. His eyes are a grey blue, not betraying any notino of intent. He does not care what he wears, yet is often "stylish" with clothes bearing resemblance to the dark patterns of Affliction and such. Namely, he buys nice clothes, but does not care what happens to them. Has a single scar running along his back, from a whip his father used on him in a drunked rage.

He had been living with his foster parents after his father's death, yet when the academy of sorts opened, they enrolled him. They could not control him, and they believed some authority would be good for Kevin.

Name: Daniella Monroe
Nicknames: Dani
Age: 17
Gender: female
Cause of orphanhood: Her mother left her in the emergency room entrance when she was three weeks old. She has no idea who her father is, and there was no way to trace the mother. She was orphaned. The hospital sent her to social services, and she was placed with a family immediatly. when she was five years old, the family she was with was about to adopt her when a couple showed up and claimed to be her parents. A paternity test confirmed that the man was her father. He said that he had never wanted to give her up, and these people had no right to keep her. The court ruled in favor of her couple. Her last name changed to Monroe and she went to live with them. They were a happy family for a while, but the child they thought would save their relationship seemed to nly strain it. Her mother walked out. Her father couldn't stand to raise a child on his own, so he gave up his rights to her and said that the family could take her back. They didn't. She was placed in roup home, or orphanage. She was placed with a couple of failies, but they never lasted long. Personal problems arose and they'd have no choice but to send her packing.
Personality: Although once a bubbly girl, her past has turned her into a lonely, outcast teen. Her histoy of abandonment has taught her to never allow herself to become attatched to anyone. She's learned that the only person she should count on is herself.

Name: Xavier Laurence
Age: 18
Gender: male
Cause of orphanhood: His parents died in a house fire when he was 2 years old. His father carried him outside and went back in to get his mother. That was the last time xavier saw his parents. His grandparents took him in, but they were very old and by the time he was 9, they required intense supervision and were placed in a nursing home. His father's cousin took him in for while, but when they needed the extra space for their child, he went to live with his uncle who had just finished college. The guy was cool, but things were hectic with him trying to find a job and xavier having to travel long distance to school. He needed some stability. That's why he enrolled in the school.
Personality: She's a real ladies man. He's great at sports and loves to chat. He's just not very good at sharing and showing his emotions. He's a leader type.
Increased ability: Higher jumps

Cause of orphanhood: Mother died in child birth; father received capital punishment (when Adam was nine years old)

Personality: Adam is hot tempered and quick to get into a fight. He is very bitter about his father's death, but will never speak of it. Adam has become somewhat of a bully. It started when he was nine yeas old and first became orphaned. Ever since then Adam has always been a trouble maker, picking on those smaller and weaker than he. For this reason, the orphanga sent Adam away just to get him out of their hair.

Inhanced ability: Speed
