I had a ton of hope for this thread when I first made it - sadly, it dwindled and died. However, i've decided to re-post it and do it over again.
The year 2012. Yes, the world changed - many thought it was the apocalypse. But they were wrong, oh so wrong. Evolution was kickstarted, sent hurling into mutation. Generations began to develop unique powers, some used them to wreck havoc. Others used them to save lives.
The public, or the "Norms" as these mutants called them, protested. Things were getting out of hand, mutants were killing people in the street in their hundreds. Groups of other mutants were trying to stop them in vain as a war began to broke out between the three groups.
The Purge, Mutants who belive that any Norms are unclean, inferior and should be slain to make way for the new chapter of humanity.
The Shield, Mutants who were opposed to the Purge's method of slaying norms.
And the Goverment, who eventually stamped out the mutants. A breed of rare super-soldiers were released called "Knifes". These highly trained and enhanced soldiers could easily take out mutants. And began to become feared by those who were gifted, and praised by norms.
The Mutants fled and spread out through the metropolis of Haven City, the renamed new-york. It was rebuilt, bigger, better and "Cleaner" than ever before after being torn asunder by the three-way war. Watched over by an oppressive goverment, the public are unaware that mutants still remain.
Now, as one of the few remaining mutants who was fighting in the shield, you must fight to grasp a place in scociety, or any chance of a normal life. You are alone, you are afraid.
You are outcast.

Powers: Anything you can think of, anything. Each generation has their own powers, i'll let you decide - but nothing too powerfull, allright? You can have a maximum of two. Here are a few things to build from, if you need them.
Muscle Mass ( Super strength, manipulation of it. )
Hyperactivity (Super speed, enhanced reflexes. Increased momentum.)
Fire Manipulation (Not creating it, only controlling it.)
Wind Manipulation
Water Manipulation (Including ice.)
Earth Manipulation
Light manipulation (Light as in using light to stun and dazzle/blind enemies, not as in holy light. )
Bone Shifting (Changing the shape of the bones in your body to create swords-armour, ect.)
Muscle Shifting (Rearranging muscle tissue to create makeshift blades, armour, ect. Think Alex Mercer from Prototype.)
Sound Manipulation. (Manipulating sound waves to stun/deafan enemies.)
Telepathy
Object manipulation (Shifting the shapes of objects around you, for example - turning a table into a wooden spear by re-arranging the cells. )
Accellerated Intellect (Being able to solve most puzzles, be quick to make descisions, extremeley smart, able to invent miracolous gadgets from scrap - Basicly, makes you super-intelligent.)
Life Draining (Able to weaken someone through touch, (( Basicly, suddenly advance an enemies ageing to the point of where their body fails them in an instant through touching them. )) )

You may evolve other powers later on, but for the start - stick with two.

My profile:
Name: Cel Dirlan
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Appearance:
At first glance, Cel seems to be an average kid - save for his unusually dirty and scruffy clothes. His hair is short, trimmed sketchily and a deep, hazel brown. It hangs looseley at around the bottom of his ears. He has a tall, slender frame and enchanting, emerald eyes.
He tends to wear a pitch-black coat that covers up a torn, white vest. He wears loose demin jeans which are allso torn and dirty. On his feet are black, mud-crusted shoes.
He speaks with your typical american accent, though there is a hint of british here and there.
Background: Cel seems to have a humble past which was suddenly tossed out of balance once he discovered his generation's powers. After hitting puberty, they began to develop. At first, he thought it was nothing. Though on a fatefull day, everything changed and he ran. He had to run, there was no choice. (More shall be revealed later.)
Power: Hyperactive (Super-speed, enhanced reflexes, ect.), Muscle Mass, (Thought it doesn't look it, he has enhanced muscle mass which eventually developed, under his concealing clothes he is suprisingly muscular, the muscles are built to such a point that hitting them with bullets would be like hitting a block of steel, and being hit with his fist would be like being whacked over the head with a iron bar. It is, however - draining to keep this up, not much, and he can still fight if he's been doing it for a long time, but if he is weakened it may reduce back to it's normal state. )
Personality: Cel seems slightly wierd, but feircly loyal and protective of his friends, and fericley furious at his enemies. His eyes speak of a haunted, panic-ridden past.
