There is a rather famous fashion company specializing in shoes called Hero Shoes and the people in Denver Colorado are getting all excited because of an announcement that there was a branch opening up down town. An add on Tv announced that they were holding a contest to pick theme for their next line of shoes. Entrants would submit a supper power and then be entered into a drawing. winners would have a shoe design after their chosen supper power and receive the first pair of shoes off the line to try out before they went on sale.
or at least that is what the unsuspecting contestants think, little did the entrants know that the shoes would come with a few... quirks.
when the unsuspecting character put one their new shoes they will be unable to take them off and they will gain the superpower they chose as their theme. but the shoes have a few bugs for example the poor fellow who chose flight as his super power won't be able to hover only keep moving in a strait line from where they started until they stop. oh and there are some... side effects. you won't mind if granting you the power of flight makes your hair grow REALLY fast will you? like a foot a day?
Blessed With Suck, those who find their powers unsatisfactory or just want to take the stupid things off embark on a journey to find those responsible for their current predicament. and perhaps a hair cut... or two or three... a day. but there are a few... bumps, along the way.
challenges they may face include:
tracking the branch that never existed,
combating dangerous supper villains that have appeared form out of know where,
averting impossible natural disasters,
and balancing it all with the 9-5.
Contestants enter this contest by filling out a post card with the fallowing information and sending it in:

Rules
* Pm me first please.
* general role-play rules, you know the drill
* as a requirement your power must be blessed with suck. it must come with some quirk that makes it debilitating to have or is so incredibly annoying. for example an inviable man could have an EM field around him that renders elections useless. (something that would be really annoying if the character was, say a lawyer who keeps track of his life using his cellphone). just be sure you power is really inconvenient.
*I shall post mine after somebody joins for this post is quite long and took quite a while to finish.

Re: Hero Shoes
Character sheets:
KiteXX:Name: Daveain Hornback
supper power: Velocity Volume Manipulation
how it works: Daveain can change the velocity inside a chosen volume to what ever value he desires and any positive difference is stored in his body. he can't increase the velocity of a volume unless he has the velocity stored previously. the power can even work on himself. the power can break the law of conservation of energy, if he stops a bullet storing the velocity inside his body he could then lunch a bolder at the same speed as the bullet. the side effect is that his body vibrates in proportion to the amount of velocity he has stored and he cant stop moving. constantly clenching and un-clenching his hand can allow him to stand still with out jogging in place but not for long. eating has become... difficult and sleep hard to achieve.

[he rushed out to his mailbox, he was excited about finally receiving the shoes he had wasted his fortune one. today was the day he would get them. He peeled the top of the box revealing pure white shoes with a lightning bolt shooting the water that was artistically put at the tip of end of the shoe. the cloud that held the electricity was at the heel.]
Daveain:i was expecting good, but not this good.
[he pulled the box into his room and sat it on his shelf, admiring the artwork on the shoe]

She sat there on the edge of her bed. She couldn't take her eyes off the shoes. They were simply to beautiful for words. Sleek high heals with furry white bunnies on them. She marveled at there beauty a little while longer before trying them on.

Re: Hero Shoes
Shay looked at the new boots that came in the mail. He really could not believe how stupid they looked, but he knew that his little sister had drawn them for him, and he could not ignore them or throw them away. He slipped into his boots and sighed deeply. He walked over to the pink bunny she had given him for his birthday last year and picked it up. "Rachel..." "THAT IS NOT MY NAME!" Shay dropped the toy and it stood up, placing its hands, or the ends of its arms, on its hips. "My name is Louie!" "Holy crap...I think I've snapped..."
No matter how high the wall. No matter how thick. My love surmounts them all. Like a bird. Flying to you. Forever and ever.
Re: Hero Shoes
[he grabbed a ball off his table and chucked it at the wall, the moment he tried to catch it everything suddenly became slower, it seemed as though he had been filled with energy and then suddenly his body flashed up into the air and slammed against his ceiling]

Re: Hero Shoes
She couldn't get over the ridiculous bunny print, but thought it was adorable anyway. She finally slipped on her shoes and a horrid sense of something not feeling right came over her.
"Wow!" she stood up and jumped around in them happily. She quickly ran out the door to show her friend. Everything seemed to race by and she soon collided with a mailbox. The only thing that had been able to stop her. She layed there before trying to stand up. Finally geting the horrid nauseated feeling from her system she stood up and trying walking forward, but ended up tripping over nothing. Thus began the curse of tripping over her own feet.

Re: Hero Shoes
Madrian enters his fathers work shop. His father is the owner of a shoe tailoring company named "Pigment of Heaven".
Madrian, "Hey da! Have me shoes been finished yet?"
"When will you stop speaking like that?
"Maybe when I get me shoes" Madrian says with a bright smile.
His father sighs and hands Madrian a shoe box. He looks over with with such discretion, he carefully examines the box. The beauty of the box alone is so vivid, it depicts a vast desert, violet skies, whitish gray clouds, bright shining stars, and a waning full moon. Surrounding the moon, the clouds, have an ominous glow, some thing resembling the clouds of heaven themselves.
As he opens the box, he pulls out the shoes. The shoes, have a deep purple, clouds scattered amongst the sides at the tip of each shoe, a full moon. The right, a waxing moon, the left a waning.
He slips them on, throwing his old tennis shoes off to the side.
"Do you know what powers these shoe hold?" Madrian asks his father.
"Perhaps they fix your speaking" his father says, with a chortle. Madrians' face becomes disgruntled, how could his father make fun of him at such a time?
"If you want to know the-"
His fathers image fades away, as does the shop.
Madrian looks around, violet skies, a desert wasteland, he has been warped to the area shown on the box.
