The sun rises on a new dawn, yet few of us realize the debt we owe to those responsible for this, to those who dwell among us, anonymous, seemingly ordinary, who destiny brought together to repair, to heal, to save us from ourselves, and they're still out there among us, in the shadows, in the light, we pass them on the street without a glance, never suspecting, never knowing. Do they even know yet? That they are bound together by a common purpose? A glaring reality, to be extraordinary, and when destiny does anoint them, how do they hide from it? How long can they dwell in the shadows before either fate or their own flawed humanity draws them out into the light again? And how will they know what awaits them when it does?

A solar eclipse. When the moon passes by the sun, blocking it’s bright light from the Earth below. It has been said that a solar eclipse brings great power, energy, to those unsuspecting. It’s a spiritual ordeal, a beautiful one. And when the sun once again shines, so will a destiny arise for certain people.
During a solar eclipse, a small percentage of people across the world developed powers.
Rapid cellular regeneration.
Pyrokenisis.
Technopathy.
These people, unbeknownst to them, are destined to save the world, and themselves. Their paths will cross, lives intertwined, stories converge. They all play a part of a bigger picture, a small piece in the puzzle that is life. What they do with that power is up to them.
It’s been four months since the eclipse, and more and more people are making themselves known with their powers.
A local law enforcement officer in New York City was assigned to a case of a serial killer. A man who targeted seemingly random people across the country of the United States, cutting open their head and leaving them to die.
The pattern?
The victims all have powers.
While the serial killer, a watchmaker from Queens named Sylar, goes on his rampage, another threat is hiding in the shadow. A company who ‘bags and tags’ those with powers, cataloging their powers and possibly locking up those who they deem too ‘dangerous’ for normal life.
Everyone who gained these powers were born with them, but the solar eclipse triggered it. Now, they have to face not only the hardships of life while hiding their powers, but also fight for their life as they get hunted down by Sylar and the company.
{Okay, complicated. Yes. Posting this for a grp but im also okay with doing a 1:1 if this doesn’t gain enough traction.
Based off heroes, but you don’t need to have watched it to rp! I just really want a good superpower plot. Action mostly, but some romance and slice of life is allowed as well. Angst. All the angst. I will personally be playing two characters:
Gabriel Sylar. {Intuitive Aptitude}
And an OC I’m making.
Canon characters aren’t required, but allowed!!}
