The Realm of Austur Discussion Topic 2: Chatting Mad

Why women go to the bathroom to socialize will forever remain a mystery, like why dogs circle around before resting or why people still vote for politicians even though nobody trusts them.

GX, what would you think of an inFAMOUS RP? I might try it once either Austur or Team Nova is over.

Do you own a PS3?

If you do, get inFAMOUS 2 right now.

If you don't, then allow me to explain.

Man, tough choice.

/sarcasm

Anyways, do you know the basic premise?

Okay, allow me to summarize the events of the first game.

*Takes deep breath*

You are Cole MacGrath. You're doing your daily work as a bike messenger when you get a package that explodes, killing many and causing weird electrical surges. Weeks later, you discover that you can manipulate electricity at the cost of convenient technology but everyone starts blaming you for the explosion. You work to restore power to all of Empire City as you face other superpowered beings known as Conduits. Through a series of good or evil choices, you end up facing down the cause of all this chaos, Kessler. After you beat the living s*** out of Kessler, he reveals that he is you from the future who got his powers later and warns you of a great and powerful conduit called The Beast who will destroy everything.

*Enter inFAMOUS 2*

The Beast emerges early, and destroys Empire City, causing Cole to flee to New Marais. There, there's an armed Milita called the... Miltia, who seek to destroy conduits under their leader, Bertrand. After another series of good or bad choices, you track down Bertrand and attack him, but surprise! He's a conduit. After another duel to the death, the Beast emerges, and it is revealed he is another character who seemingly died in the first game. Either you team up with him to destroy a device that would kill most if not all conduits, or you be the good canon guy and activate the device, curing a plague that was caused by the first boss of the first game. You die in the process, and then we fastforward seven years later.

*inFAMOUS Second Son*

You are Delsin Rowe, a Native American graffiti artist and brother to your county's sheriff. After a truck owned by the D.U.P., the Department of Unified Protection, who seek to capture or destroy all conduits or "bio-terrorists", crashes, several prisoners escape. When one of the prisoners tries to hold you hostage, you discover your power and absorb his smoke powers. Through a series of spoilery events, you end up in Seattle and seek to take down the D.U.P.

Have fun!

GIVE ME OATHKEEPER!!!

Anyways, conduits are normal people until they are activated. This can happen through extreme trauma, a Ray Sphere blast, Ray Field Emissions, or just randomly. Then, they gain the ability to control an element, be it natural or man-made, and they also gain enhanced strength, speed, and stamina.

GIVE ME OATHKEEPER OR GIVE ME DEATH!!!

Anyways, would you participate in an inFAMOUS RP if I made one? What would your character's power be?

Oh yeah, also, Conduits are semi-bulletproof. Small arms fire is completely negligible.

To both?

It's just like being a standard superhero, but less overpowered. Your really just a human who's stronger and can shoot lightning (if you are an electrokinetic). However, to use your power, you must have access to your power or absorb it from say a fire (if you're a pyrokinetic).
