Take Back the Power: an inFAMOUS RP: The Discussion Topic

I just realized I responded in ze wrong topic. Oh well.

Anyways, it's necessary to destroy the government offices in South Downtown, Old Fourth Ward, and a few other places. Plus, I didn't want to destroy the Aquarium.

Okay, got it.

Anyways, I'll post in Nova to try and move things along.

So, guys, GX, I'll fill you in on what SMEX and I have already planned.

There are two main villain factions along with an anti-hero who did stuff. Most of the stuff is just information for us, as our characters wouldn't know most of the more secret information (the leader of the Death Runners and her power, the true nature of the CDDA, and who activated the Ray Sphere along with his story) Also, plan on having your character deliver an internal monologue during your first post that details what happened to them between the blast and the post, as it will be exactly one week after the blast, because of story reasons. Also, just so you know, this takes place two months after the Good ending of Second Son.

The first one is the CDDA (Conduit Detection and Detainment Agency), which is a daughter organization of the First Sons, and they seek to progress humanity by finding the truth behind Conduits, but they use a facade of being an anti-Conduit police force to capture both active and inactive Conduits. Not very well liked by those who know their true nature, as they perform all sorts of inhumane tests on their subjects. Leader is Vincent Banks, a Conduit who has the ability to manipulate Glass.

The Death Runners, a gang that seeks to take over Atlanta following the blast, much like the Reapers. Full of all sorts of scum and villainy, the gang's members grow every day, each bearing the symbol of a winged skull with crossed pistols where the mandible would be. There is something strange as the gang quickly increased in power a few days following the blast, the reverse effect it had on the police force. Currently lead by Lida Carroll, a Conduit whose power is to manipulate LSD. Lida Carroll was your stereotypical valley girl who lived in rural Georgia until her parents' farm burned down. At the age of seventeen three years before the blast, she fled with her younger brother Ryan to Atlanta where they lived as homeless until the Death Runners kidnapped Ryan and forced her to rob small establishments for them. Gradually, though, she began to enjoy the crime until she joined the gang voluntarily, though she kept Ryan out of it. However, after Ryan was shot and killed in a turf war, she became depressed and turned to a variety of illegal drugs to make her feel alive again. She then lead a small group of drug-dealing junkies, then the blast occurred. Her Conduit abilities activated and she took the opportunity to take control of the Death Runners. To destroy any and all rival gangs to avenge her fallen brother and strike fear into Atlanta.

Now we have Mark Dustin, the anti-hero. One of the first subjects captured by the CDDA, he went through years of intensive testing. His powers eventually activating. They then continued to test him, over and over again. Weeks became months, and months became years, but all that was about to change. They thought his mind was dulling, but it was sharper than ever. He heard of a device called the Ray Sphere, a bomb that would kill normals but activate and strengthen any Conduits caught in the blast. The first one started the Plague, but the RFI had been activated. The Plague could no longer spread. One day, one of the guards carelessly delivered him undercooked meat in his meal. A fatal mistake to be sure. Using his power to control dead flesh, he killed the guard and broke his way out of his cell and made his way to the research facility, where lo and behold, there was a Ray Sphere intact. Mark knew what he must do. After making his way out into the streets of Atlanta, he activated the Ray Sphere, destroying much of the city, and activating every Conduit nearby. Finally, there was the power to take down the CDDA.

Anyways, Vincent Banks needs a backstory.

Also, I'll put in the example power tree I designed and descriptions for it.

Sorry for the wait, but a friend stopped by and we were catching up. I can give you a back story by tonight.

So, is this going to also be our sign up topic?

But Nova and Austur are both moving so slow lately!

I've never used Pokemon Showdown.

So, SMEX, you're going with Radio powers, correct?

Also, if you haven't come up with a backstory for Vincent, then don't worry. Focus on Austur for now and just think of it in your spare time.

First, what do you know of the First Sons?
