Timeline:

2022 - Massive advances in technology and medicine continue to improve human life, UN establishes international research facility on the moon.

 

2024 - Muslim Terrorist threat is mostly eradicated with more equal anti-muslim extremism and hate having spread to extreme heights, right wing parties growing a lot more popular in major influential countries.

 

2027 - First proper self-thinking computer replica of the human mind is created, sprouting the first AI being into existance.

 

2038 - Due to a discovered asteroid threat the UN begins construction of the O.E.D.S[Outer Earth Defense System], a series of armed stations with intentions of acting as anti-space-projectile barriers.

 

In the meantime NASA manages to officially humans efficiently to mars and colonization of the orange planet begins.

 

2040 - UN gains strength as an international organization, and international cooperation is spiked due to a common threat and work to stop it.

 

2043 - Words in public spread into chaos at the impending apocalypse, an terrorist organization known as the Crimson Dawn rises from the ashes. It stirs trouble immediately as the new world threat, sabotaging the construction of the O.E.D.S.

 

2049 - A secret UN Project based on experimenting on humans to examine supermantural behaviour is brought to light by Crimson Dawn operatives and immediately shut down afterwards due to utter public outrage.

 

2050 - O.E.D.S is complete, and the asteroid threat is averted. The earth however doesn't have much time to breathe.... 

 

Christmas - 2050 - Crimson Dawn extremists immediately somehow grab their hands on a single one of the defensive stations, it is turned against earth and within a single christmas night target Washington DC, UN headquarters, and many key Oil extraction facilities all over the world. It is not until the next day when the UN manages to regain control of the stations. 

 

2055 - Due to earths resources being crippled, markets going crazy, and Crimson Dawn attacks growing ever more so present at the weakened globe and connection being lost with the earlier set Mars colony public trust in the UN is almost non-existant. Political issues cause most countries to close to themselves in desperate attempts to shield themselves from the crisis.

 

The UN launches a new secret project, Project Umbrage. Reaching out to the earlier patients of the supernatural behaviour experiments who since then have been said to have felt 'side effects' to the treatments have grown special powers. In attempts to control them and give them more of a purpose the project is based upon militarizing them as assets, forming their into teams with the elite of the elite and using them to take down the ever so much more Anarchist organization of Crimson Dawn.

 

The world is on the edge of WW3

 

__________________________________________________________________________________

 

So, here is the basic idea, Project Umbrage is about pairing humans who have developed Supernatural abilities due to illegal and cruel experimentation, mostly taking out recruits out of jails and special detention facilities, promising them freedom and wiping of their files of any uncontrolled acts their powers may have caused. They will be paired into teams with special elite agents, testing their cooperations into creating the deadliest task force Earth has seen.

 

We will be sent on missions to help stabilize the world and save it from falling into utter chaos. To apply please fill in: 

 

Name:

Operation Codename: (Is a must)

Country: (Countries havn't changed much, but feel free to add to the lore.)

Asset: (Supernatural/Specialist)

Abilities/Skills: (As supernatural try and describe your powers, you can even be a bit OP. As Specialist try and describe your skillset or speciality. Keep in mind Specialists WILL be military operatives. )

 

_______________________________

*Simple Forum rules are in use.

*Please no Donald Trump jokes.

*Teams will consist of several pairs of Supernatural-Specialist, and coordinate each other during missions while being assisted by AI.

*For most what you should care about is that guns are a hell lot more hard hitting now.

*Might create art of the teams. :3

@@reader8363,

 

You should try to either go Specialist or Supernatural, both combined COULD work but it would be a bit overpowered and null out the idea of the two working together.

 

@@The Cerberus,

 

He can refuse to tell all he wants, if he was part of the shut down project then they have everything on him already.

 

@@reader8363,

 

Same goes with your chars country. :)

 

@@The Cerberus, @@reader8363,

 

You're accepted with the exceptions of the little things I pointed out. Also remember that most if not all supernaturals are still exploring their powers or learning to actually control them.

I edited it.

And for abilities, short period of time with flying is about 10-20 seconds and he doesn't control well the amount of fire he uses (uses too much most of the times). 

 

And there is side effect that he might burst into flames for a minute or so without any visible reason.

 

Is that aright?

@,

 

I'd Like to join.

 

Name: Maddox Hellsong 

Operation Codename: Apex

Country: United States- Alaska

Asset: Supernatural

Ability: Telekinesis. The best was I could describe his abilities is with a few videos...   ((https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oXDZMsjvUM     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blWBATSOCtA)) He can also manipulate objects down to the molecular level, like changing a simple car muffler into a razor sharp sword. 

Bio: He was created in a laboratory on one of the Mariana Islands, Soon after he fully realized how powerful his abilities were, he broke out of his facility and tried to escape, only to be met with UN Tanks and Helicopters. He defeated the tanks by crushing them with his telekinetic abilities and swatted the choppers out of the air like flies. Of course, after exerting that much energy and power, his body started to shut down. He was not captured by the UN, however. He soon found himself waking on a train heading to Anchorage, Alaska, then soon after the train stopped, he darted from town to town, hitching rides, or stealing them. He now currently resides in a very small town off in the remote wilderness of Alaska. He's kept his abilities in check for the time being, but, he does have moments where his telekinesis overloads his body and he creates, what he refers to as, a Telekinetic Explosion, a pulse wave of energy he can't control releases suddenly, creating a massive crater in his wake. This makes it difficult for him to stay in one place for longer than a month. Every time he has an Explosion, he goes unconscious.

I want in on this:


 


Name: Kronos


Operation Codename: Revenant


Country: Philippines


Asset: Supernatural


Abilities/Skills: Advanced Technological Intellect, Cyborg Enhancements, Pseudo-Gravitational "Telekinesis", Ability for Cybernetics to form any type of weaponry he's encountered, Cybernetic Eye Scanner, Extreme Reflexes so good that he can catch a bullet at point blank range, Impeccable Accuracy with Pistols and Snipers even while hip-fired, Mecha Rage Mode which renders Kronos into a nigh-unstoppable force but can be stalled or disabled, blood-based "magic" in which he will cut himself open and the blood spilt will form a full suit of hemophite (blood-stone) armor that is very durable and gains more durability from the blood of fallen enemies, smoke-cloud form to pass through walls and slip into the shadows for deadly sneak attacks, able to hack into any kind of computer system and read all of its data by simply touching it, can read an individual's bio-signature after taking a long enough look at them

@@Aurora Lights,

 

Very lovely. ^^ I knew what Telekenesis was but that is quite a nice way for you to exactly explain in what way he'd be using it.

 

@@Kronos the Revenant,

 

I know you want to be paired up with my character, but maybe you should consider going Specialist and toning down on the OP Cyborg-ness? I know its your main character and everything but for this you really should consider going at least a bit more casual.

Well, if I'm gonna go Specialist, then the military operative traits that Kronos has is expert technology hacking because he's a cyborg and has expert marksmanship because of his cybernetic eye. In addition, he'll have a vast knowledge of all forms of technology and is able to duplicate many different types of technology via reverse-engineering. How's that for a Specialist Kronos? Also, I would like it if I could keep his name, codename and place of origin the way it originally was.

@@Pripyat Pony,

 

Is quite nice. However...

 

@@Kronos the Revenant, @@Aurora Lights, @@reader8363, @@The Cerberus,

 

We've got to balance out Supernaturals and Specialists aswell as pair up characters. Unless we form squads of three ponies, each led by a specialist though a 2 specialist to 1 supernatural ratio would be easier in those kinda cases... So, I dunno, I was expecting a bit more willing specialists, please do propose your ideas, or if you feel like switching your characters.

Name: Piper Wicklow


Operation Codename: The Waffles


Country:  Ireland


Asset: Specialist because of being an asset


Abilities/Skills: A Jill of all trades. Hacker. Electrition. Thief. Con artist. Hypnotist. Magician. Stunt driver. Pilot. Chemist. Demolisionist. Expert at laying traps. Skilled martial artist. Melee combat. Cunning strategist. Just about any talent, skill and knowledge required of her.


 


How she does it all might be the supernatural part. She claims that she has 'Angels' telling her what to do. Giving her advice. It also explains how she knows things about people she shouldn't. Just about everything there is to know about a person is at her disposal. She's also warned of incoming danger, like precognition (or spider sense), given anywhere from seconds to hours, depending on the threat. She's also told weak spots, escape routes, hiding places and those to contact. 


 


However, Piper only gets this advice if she's performing the task the voices ask. If it diverts from her 'Angel's' plan, then she's on her own till she gets back on track. She stays off mission too long, she is then punished by being misinformed and lead into danger, or by experiencing a gradually worsening string of bad luck.  Conversely, if she does complete her task, she gets a reward of some sort.

Fair warning: This character is based on the DC character of the same name. What do you think?

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Brianna Colu

 

Operation Codename: Project: Indigo, or simply Indigo

 

Country: United States: New York

 

Asset: Supernatural? Specialist? Help me out here. Seems pretty supernatural to me

 

Abilities/Skills:

Digital Cybernetic Computer-based Being: She is able to transfer her body in the form of digital code and teleport through any technology by flying into it while in digital form. She can use any electronics as a portal to another destination, traveling through electronic and digital signals, while she is unable to travel through older broadcasting signals such as radio. She can however transfer herself through electronic wires to achieve a similar effect. She also could teleport only part of her body, such as an arm to reach out and touch someone. She can interface with any machinery and manipulate computer systems, as well as detect digital electronics and signals.

 

Shapeshifting: Does not include looking like others, still looks like herself. She is able to manipulate her limbs to stretch and elongate to almost no limit and turn her fingers into claw like blades. She is able to rebuild entire limbs by assimilating nearby computer code or metallic objects, but it takes time.

 

Flight: She can fly while in digital form. Hasn't practiced flying while doing something else like shooting electricity or fighting in midair. Probably straining, but we'll see as the RP progresses.

 

Electric Lightning Blasts: Really self explanatory. It's lightning from the hands. Pretty typical energy projection.

 

Bio: Indigo is Project Umbrage's first attempt at an AI, but they didn't get it quite right the first time. An experiment in merging a person with computers. At first the experiment seemed to have failed and she was left with greatly heightened brain functions comparable to supercomputers, but otherwise nothing else special. Eventually the rest of her powers surfaced when side effects began for the rest of the subjects, but she does not have full control over them and sometimes seems to fall apart and disappear into computer code, needing to reconstitute herself.
