Power Struggle [DEAD]
Posted: Sun May 16, 2010 3:38 pm
Intro: (You don’t have to read this part to understand what the story is)
Terry kept running over the dirt. He peeked behind but could see his assailant. That didn’t stop him from running like hell. Sweat was covering his body and his ankles felt like rocks but he couldn’t stop. He kept running, checking the trees around him. He ran onto a wooden bridge and had to stop for a moment to catch his breath and get his bearings.
“Where,” He took a couple deep breaths, “Are you?”
He heard a sound beside him, not unlike the crackling of a fire or the sound of leaves crunching below feet. But no one was standing there... yet. Terry sprinted off in the opposite direction as a faint booming sound pierced the unfitting silence of the chase. He had no idea where the path had taken him or where the path was leading. There wasn’t any time to think. If he stopped like that again, surely the hunter would catch his prey. Terry came up to a tunnel, long enough to be dark enough to hide in.
“Yes!” He jumped in far enough to conceal his body in shadow and waited. Out of the tunnel materialised the silhouette of a teen aged male along with the familiar crackling sound. He stood, trying to spot Terry’s figure in the darkness, and then made the mistake of walking in to find him. There was a large spark and the hunter screamed in agony as he fell to the ground, Terry’s hand on his ankle. The hunter’s body was now lifeless.
“That!” Terry took a deep breath, “That’ll teach you to mess with a lightning user.”

(This part you do have to read)
Info: Qi gong, Ki, Chakra, Chi, life force, energy. Unknown to most, about 0.01% of the human population have managed to unlock parts of their brains that allow them control this flow of energy with many names. These people can channel this energy to enable unique abilities. However, most can only manage to unlock one ability. That is, unless they kill a person with the knowledge of how to use another ability in which case the killer will gain the ability of the one they have killed.
Some may not wish to kill for new abilities but because many are willing, people with these abilities tend to gather in similar places. This RP takes place in one of those areas, Washington state U.S.A. The date is July 24th modern year. When you look out your window, the world you see is the world that surrounds the events this story takes place in. However, in the shadows, perhaps you spot a man speed past, or a flash appear and then dissapear almost too fast to see, those are the shadows that these events live in; just barely seen and rarely noticed. Many of those that are willing to kill for power's are recruited to a secret organisation known as the Hunters. They are ruled by a high up man that no one has ever lived long enough to meet. This, obviously, lead to the assupmtion that he was immortal. The Hunters wish to either recruit you as a loyal member, or murder you as a menace. Their goal for the future is not yet known, but most have heard rumours of world domination.
You can have up to two main characters.

APP:

Second character requires the same information. I will post mine later.
