lol double-thread fail.

Original thread started by Jayney

The first thing they notice about you is that you are not normal. Whether it be pale skin, strange eyes, fangs, wings, immense knowledge, power, speed, or even your voice. They will call you out, and you will be discarded.

Secondly, they realize how “inhumane†it would be to simply kill a baby. They are not stupid, they know that the public would notice and that they would be arrested. So they do not. Instead, you are torn from your dying mother’s arms and sent away to be Cleansed.

Thirdly, they realize that you will be recognized if you are present in the everyday world. You are too strange. So, you are sent away again to a dark, lonely castle in the middle of a dense, “undiscovered†forest.

Lastly, you cannot be found. You cannot escape and tell of their horrid prison. So they will lock you up. No unbarred windows, no unlocked doors. A trained guard will be at every post, watching your every move. You will be punished daily for your impudence.

At least... that's how it was.

Through miracle or tragedy, you've managed to escape the Hell which has been forced on you for as long as you can remember. After venturing through lands you've never known existed, you find yourself in a valley. One hidden from the hateful eyes of the rest of humankind.

In this valley stands an empty, old Spanish looking town. Well, it seems empty. As you step within the city walls, you begin to notice the city is actually inhabited by people fulfilling their everyday lives. Children in the schoolyard down the street. Teenagers hanging out at the street corner. Shopkeepers announcing sales in the market.

However, there's something wrong. Something about this town is very different from the ones you've seen on you're way here. A cautious, but optimistic sort of hope seems to thicken the air. All of the people are like you, with some physical characteristic that would label them a gift and a freak in the outside world.

A boy with wings walks down the street with his friends, a skateboard under his arm. Like it was the most normal thing in the world, to have wings.

A feeling that you're being watched nags at your mind, and you look to your left to see a young girl with eyes an entrancing snowy shade of blue-gray that couldn't possibly be natural. She approaches you with her hands clasped behind her back childishly.

"Welcome to Siletste. What's your name?"



~.:Two Years Ago:.~
The O R P H A N A G E was a compound formed to rid the world of Gifts like yourself. One day, a group of these Gifted children escaped from their cells, wandering the castle and releasing the others from their cells. Among these were the only children who survived the destruction of their prison: Eva, Elevir, Ren, Kaylee, and Seth. The Director, the man who started the whole thing, escaped with his life as well.

One might be wondering how the whole project collapsed. It was the Director's own doing. He destroyed his life's work. Why? It's actually pretty simple. Sort of.

Along with the other children, a different race of Gifts were released from their cells that day. They were called the Manics.

The Manics weren't like the other Gifts. Their power was used for the purpose of death, and only that. Not only could they make the most strong-minded of people go insane, to the point where they killed themselves or even other people without even realizing it, but they enjoyed it. They could go on for hours until they drowned in the blood of their victims.

One of these Manic Gifts would happen to have been the Director's own son. Larenzo, he was called, and called himself the Mad King. Or, at least, the evil part of him. He sort of had a split personality. When one side of him was killed, the truly murderous side took over. The Director couldn't allow Larenzo, or his released followers, to run free. In fact, he had to stop them at any cost.

So that's how our story ended. Or began.

Types of Gifts

Elemental Gifts: Gifts who control elements such as fire, water, earth, ice, wind, climate/weather and such. To use this power, they must channel it through a sort of tool or weapon.

Intellectual Gifts: Gifts with superior knowledge to those around them. They are brilliant and extremely witty and on their toes. Their personalities are sometimes a bit ‘know-it-all’, but they usually actually do know it all.

Formidable Gifts: Male Gifts who are incredibly strong. They can mean to give someone a hug or handshake and instead snap their spine or break their hand.

Reader Gifts: Gifts with the power to read and sometimes manipulate people’s minds. They are normally quite quiet, lurking in the shadows and reading the thoughts of other people. Skilled Reader Gifts even have the potential to read the minds of several people and predict the outcome of a situation involving them because of it. Though, there are very few who get to this point. There are also very few Gifts with the power to change or influence the mind.

Surreptitious Gifts: Clever Gifts with the power to shape shift. They are usually quite daring people with a love for adventure. What they can shift into splits them into groups. Some can mimic humans, while others can mimic certain types of animals.

Melodic Gifts: Gifts with the power to control the flow of time through music. By playing a certain tune on usually a wind or string instruments or singing perfectly in time and melody, they can stop, slow down, and/or quicken the flow of time. The limit of their power is up to them, though subconsciously. Some of the more shy and quiet Melodic Gifts are afraid to overuse their power and therefore can only do these things for about five minutes or so. Others, who’s personalities are bolder and more confident tend to be able to draw on for longer.

Winged Gifts: Gifts who were born with wings. These wings vary in shape, size, appearance and function. Some wings can retract from wherever they grow. Some wings merely disappear when they are not needed. Others cannot make themselves unseen.

Enticing Gifts: Female Gifts who are beautiful beyond all compare. Their bodies are flawless, eyes normally a gorgeous shade of rouge, lips a luscious red. They have clear skin, varying in color, and a strange glow about them, as if they’re always surrounded by a pale moonlight. Their voices are alluring; sweet and sultry and their personalities are usually a sort of passionate and eager along with some who are more innocent and lovably clueless to the selected audience. They are identified by a rose shaped birth mark across their lower back. These Gifts are very skilled in archery, even flawlessly so. They have a way of influencing people to think their way or do what they want with little effort. Very sneaky, sly, manipulative Gifts at their best.

Animator Gifts: Gifts with the ability to animate whatever they draw and make it into something real. Some Animators can only animate what's on the page like a cartoon, while others can go as far as drawing doors into walls or drawing a weapon to use in a fight.

Bio: Her mother died during childbirth, as with all of the Orphanage children, but her father, who had a Winged Gift, hid her away before anyone could notice. She grew up in the thickly wooded areas surrounding her mother's hometown, where she honed her Reader skills with the many wild animals, and even learned to communicate with them. However, telepathy, even in it's simplest forms, is no easy task. One day, her and her father were attacked and her father killed. She awoke afterward, in the Hell known as The Orphanage. There, she tried to become a member of the guard to free the other Gifts, but when she was forced to kill Larz, instead releasing the leader of the Manic Gifts, the whole project was destroyed. After realizing that out of hundreds of children within the castle, the Director had only saved four, she flew away and hasn't been seen since.

5. Username: Deathsight44
Full Character Name: Toxyn (real name unknown)
Age: 15
Appearance:http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/pp202/moioku/blahdablah.jpg
Bio: Unlike most of the children who were abducted, his kidnapping was very simplistic. He was a crack baby. His last memory of his parents were them selling him off for a nice good deal of drugs. From there, he was sent off to be tested on. Due to his powers revolving around electricity, which is generated with an overuse of the electric waves the brain uses, he was frequently tested, performing experiments which monitored emotion, physical stress, etc, to see if his powers worked any differently because of it. What they mostly experimented with though was his nerves since the nervous system is the most effective way to monitor electricity, so most of them involved pain. Because he lived such a traumatizing life, he has grown to be very distant from people of all kinds. After escaping, he has been wandering aimlessly, looking for a place he can stay without people coming by, which leads up to now, which has lead him up to the discovery of a strange town which is populated by what can only be described as people with the most unique of qualities. Also due to the experiments, his body is always in what can be described as a constant pain. Not agonizing, but a constant ache.
Personality: He is very distant from people. As a person, he is good, always helping whenever if he can. He hates to see people disappointing or having any kinds of negative feelings when he knows that they don't deserve it, since he himself is quite familiar with the feeling, so the thing that drives him is knowing that he might be able to help others at least. From his point of view, he has no problem with getting close to others, believing that as long as he can provide some form of kindness to those who need it, he'll be able of help. He tries his best not to let others get close to him though, due to his own fears of betrayal. He also have a fear of any forms of physical contact. He flinches if he ever feels another touch him.
Weapon [If any]: Attached to his middle finger is what can only be described as a glove. It only covers his middle finger. It is made purely of steel, and at the edge of it is a tiny needle. Though small, it is sharp enough to be used as a type of claw. It is also useful as a conductor for his electricity.
Gift: Elemental

Clothing is almost the same, but with a red and black color scheme and has additional fur suited for cold temperatures.
Bio: Shunned as a child due to her red eyes, ears, and tail. After escaping, she wandered far to the North to avoid any contact with others. Her aggressive nature and wolf-like attributes made her an excellent hunter and tracker, and survived by acting as a bounty hunter. The people of the north had no other alternative, so she lived in relative peace hunting for some time. She began to grow restless however, because of hearing stories from other northern inhabitants of the other "freaks in the South"; after discovering that she could manipulate fire, she decided to head south to see what this newfound power could do in order to help others like her gain freedom. Her appearance and behaviour has earned her the nickname Wolf by those who know her.

12.Username: Twilightblader
Full Character Name: Drake Gray
Age: 21
Appearance: [insert link here]
Bio: Like most children with gifts, Drake was taken from his mother's hands and taken to the ORPHANAGE. At first he was just taken because of his strange eye color and did not know his gift but soon enough it was revealed when Drake went crazy and caused a lot of damage. He was locked up with the other manics and he stayed in his cell awaiting the time when he could escape. His time came when the king of Manics Larz set him free although unlike the other manics who were slaughtering everybody, Drake just took the opportunity and escaped from the place that held him
Personality: Drake has a split personality. At times he would be a pretty calm guy but other time he will become more brutal and sadistic
Weapon: Claws
Gift: Manic

14.Username: Legion
Full Character Name: Larenzo, Kendrith
Age: 22
Appearance: [insert link here]
Bio: After being buried in the demolishion, Larz and his fellow survivors took half a year to escape the rubble. Starving, they decided to feed upon few of the gifts who were not manics. The rest were drafted as lackies and spies. Larenzo's troop traveled through the forests for three days until reaching the city of Gifts. By that point, Larenzo said screw it and ordered his army to disperse into the populace. He spent the rest of his time going from job to job, trying to find his will to complete his plan. I believes soon that day will come.
Personality: sadistic, cruel, inconsiderate, and a master at reading things upside down, Larz is everything you'd not entirely consider for an evil overlord. He'd probably agree, but that would just so he could get close enough to scramble your brains. However, on rare occasion, Larz has a kinder side. Usually it is intended for those he considers pets.
Weapon : claws
Gift: Manic

15.Username: Periwinkle
Full Character Name: Charis Laverna
Age: 12
Appearance: http://media.photobucket.com/image/a...mall.jpg?o=182
Bio: Charis is a lonely young girl that moved to the town of Siletste a few years ago. The only relative to her that is possibly alive is a person named Claire, who happened to be a teenage victim in the Orphanage. The odds are very slim that Claire is alive, but Charis refuses to believe that she is dead. Charis doesn't know how much of a relation she has to the girl or who she is exactly, but if she happens to find her alive, it just might be possible for her to learn of or find information on her father. A friend of Charis's mother told her that Siletste was one of the closest towns near the Orphanage, making that her area to move and spot for Claire at. Her clue to finding the girl was a picture that was given to her from her mother, before she died.
Personality: Optimistic, kind, childish, can be serious during a certain situation. She also seems to have a slight obsession with sweets.
Gift: Animator
