Arrow Point Bay

[Aria Janette Tuley]

Arrow Point Bay is an original spy-fantasy RPG forum. It's a bit of Heros mixed with X-Men. A secluded and remote island, it is home to many gifted Specials as well as non-specials. Specials are taught how to harness and control their powers as well as suing them responsibly. Non-Specials are trained in fighting against Specials and defending Agency agents. Both kinds are trained at the College and recruited by the Agency to help Specials coexist with humans and protect them from The Alliance, who believes humans should be extinguished so the Specials can take over.

Glossary

(Pure) Specials n. people who are born with super abilities sometimes with presumed superiority.

Synthetic Specials n. commonly known just as 'synthetics'; they are people who are given super abilities through science and are considered inferior to Pure Specials. They are more volatile and powerful but they have less control over their abilities and are heavily dependent on weekly injections (Injection 3.0) to maintain their ability. Side effects include mood swings, headaches, nausea, disorientation, and/or acute abilities syndrome. Derogatory terms are artificials, clones, and lately in Europe, 'plastics'.

Synthesising v. commonly referred to as 'turning' or derogatively as 'gene bashing'. It is the intentional mutation of genes to enable humans super abilities.

Half-Synthetics n. second generation synthetics; those who have inherited super abilities through one or both synthetic parents. They are more stable but weaker in their abilities. Injections are not necessary. Derogatory terms are halflings or mutts.

Rules
All members are to write in third person, past tense, and at least two paragraphs per post to help fellow role-players have something substantial to respond to. This site is essentially PG-13 but with lee-way so there is an NC-17 option available. We do not tolerate out of character excessive swearing and defaming of any sort - religion, race, gender etc. God-modding is also not permitted.

Character limits
There are no limits here! Make anyone and as many people as you'd like. Just try not to powerplay/make invincible characters - we like weaknesses. Even "lame" powers are encouraged. We currently have a character who's only power is omnilinguism which means he can speak and understand any language. He uses it to be a super hacker. For students, remember to keep first years between the ages of 15-17, second years 16-18, third years 17-19, and fourth years 18-20. There is no limitation on adults. They can be Agency, Alliance, or just a worker on the island hired to do odd jobs.
