The Electric City
An old tale suggests that there was a city that had extraordinary people. These people lived with powers, not like the ability to fly or be invisible or anything like that. They had the ability to bend electricity to their will. Some people lived peacefully, others got in trouble with their ability. They could not control their powers, and as a cause of this, they destroyed everything in their path. They were put in a special building. This building helped them control their powers. After they were able to do that, they were put on the police force to help keep peace in this wonderfully built city.
There was one thing though, some children were born without powers. They were brought up by their parents just like other children. These kids were called The Unknown. But, one day a mysterious man appeared suddenly. He called himself Finn. He had an aura that was pretty much screaming that he was much more powerful than he looked. Much, much, more powerful than he looked.
(This is an adventure RP, where you can either be someone with powers or one without. Either way, we have to work together to survive. No god-moding, or else this RP won’t be all that fun)

Felix chuckled as he followed when he got to the cookie shop he said, “Hi I’m Felix cloud extraordinaire, plus, nice attempt to lead me away from the unconscious guy I almost forgot about him but–OOOOOOOOHHHHHH,” his attention shifted as he forgot what he was talking about while also noticing the blue lightning bear he remembered he was talking, “huh what was I saying eh whatever I sense adventure sooooo BYE,” he dashed off in the direction of the lighting bear.

John knew what the old person was doing. It was what everyone attempted to do when Beary came out. No, Beary. We know how this goes. After one short command, “Dispel!” from the sidelines to his bear, John knew it was time to retreat. Turning away from Beary (he knew what was coming next) John fled the scene crawling up ladder to the nearby roofs. A brilliant flash followed him as Beary shed his layers of electricity, shooting out waves of blue sparks in all directions. John knew that the sparks couldn’t hurt him and embraced the energy gratefully as it energized him, allowing him to climb faster, and also comforted him knowing that Beary was back in his possession. Once reaching the top of the roof he peered down to see what had become of his enemy. If that old person had just been a common male he would have fainted by now…but sure enough he was standing there looking as right as rain, except for being slightly dazed from the brilliant flashes of Beary’s light. “How odd.” He whispered to Beary as much as himself.
((Fucking hell, it is so hard to write a paragraph on mobile -.-))

“This is insane.” Zane had just witnessed a giant electrified teddy bear explode into a bunch of sparks around another electromancer. The guy look okay if not a bit annoyed. Zane then saw a tiny kid with a smaller version of the bear in his hands. This is bad, if a kid has that much power then who knows what could happen if he threw a tantrum. Zane knew he had to stop him, not necessarily to the extremes of Joshua, just subdue the kid until he could figure out what to do.
Zane then concentrated his own internal electricity into his legs and arms, giving them a temporary boost of energy. He then began his hurried ascent towards the kid with the blue bear.
(Your move Bell :3)

Stepping back slightly he saw the bear start to glow, what’s happening? An extreme brightness followed and he shut his eyes tightly and put his hands over his eyes. Extreme brightness really didn’t bother him all that much, but closing his eyes and putting his hands over them helped. Looking up, he saw the boy from earlier on top of a building. He couldn’t see everything, but it seemed he was looking at Colt. Then at the corner of his eye, he saw another man, running over to the kid. Raising an eyebrow, he wondered if the man would be trying to catch the kid. The teen looked around eighteen, maybe nineteen. With dark blue, spikey hair. Not thinking it over all that well, he put his hand by the ladder, he bet the kid used it, and let a four go through it. The electricity crackled and snapped and it went through the ladder to the kid on to of the building. He doubted the kid was holding onto the metal, but he never knew.
Climbing up the ladder, he looked at the kid. -
From the roof John could see the whole city. A flash of blue light from beneath him caught his attention. Someone was following him. He hurried on climbing from one roof to another looking for a place to hide. A open window caught his attention. He slipped in, to find it empty of all occupants. No one here. Huh. Hiding underneath the window he shushed Beary. Beary sparked in response, illuminating the room.
((And probably the whole window…allowing any pursuers to locate John’s location…Welcome ^-^))

Fascinated by the spectacle he wanted to join in on the fun he started climbing the ladder. He saw the blue light and thought HEEEYYY BLUE hmm blue like the sky then again isn’t water perceived as blue as well while being revealed to have a minor blue tint hmm wait why am I climbing OH LOOK BLUE LIGHT I should probably follow. With his train of thought temporarily tamed he climbed through the window and greeted the boy on the other side, “hello what is your name mine is felix and- OOOOHHHHH WHAT AN ADORABLE BEAR,” he stood in awe at the bear though still aware of everything else in the room.

She frowned as she looked out the window and notice flashes of blue light everywhere , and a lot of is in a window from the apartment across from her then it dimmed slightly. “Weird..” She muttered and pressed her face against the window and saw a few people on the roof , figuring they were chasing after this light too. She widen her eyes as her breath fogged up the window of her apartment as she stared at the window across. She opened up her window but then suddenly realized she didn’t want to draw attention to this creature in the building across. I don’t know why they are trying to hide..I shouldn’t screw it up for them.. She mutters. So she sits there watching from the window with her face pressed against it , her hazel eyes wide with slight interest.

Oh crap. We’ve been found. Come on Beary, time to go. Beary still had some energy left. A quick burst of electricity sent the new creeper, No, Felix? did he call himself? reeling backwards. Darting past John was on the run again.
(Catch me if you can~))

Lyrika couldn’t believe where she was. She was at one of those fancy restaurants, where random people wearing fancy tuxedos, take your orders, and all the menus are in fancy sounding languages. She was wearing an uncomfortable scarlet dress, that dropped to her ankles. This type of thing never really appealed to Lyrika, she was one of those stylishly casual cafe girls. That sit in the back with their earphones in, listening to god knows what. Instead of that, Lyrika was dressed like a celebrity, red lips and all.
Why do I have to be here. Lyrika thought to herself. This whole thing was her legal guardian’s idea, who actually did not do a very good job of guarding. The first time they came home, in a year, was to tell her to make face at a stupid dinner. With a stupid congress man. With his stupid wife. And his stupid kid. Lyrika wasn’t even paying attention, she was blatantly ignoring what came out of their mouths. For 30 minutes they had tried to include her in their conversation, and for 30 minutes Lyrika glared at them. For the rest of the dinner they ignored Lyrika, and Lyrika ignored them.
After the dinner, Lyrika, and the congress family had gone their seperate ways, and much to Lyrika’s dismay, a random drunken jerk was following her around. She weaved through alleys, and ran through parking lots. But she just couldn’t shake this freak. She knew things were happening elsewhere in the city, she could feel it in her skin. The tingly electrifying feeling of power. But instead of going to the source of that feeling, she was running away from a stray pedestrian. Lyrika stopped, she was in a back alley, but she stopped. She let the drunk, catch up to her, and she even let him hold her hand. She grabbed his sweaty arms, and sent waves of electrical currents through his body. His body slumped, and he fell to the ground unconscious. She knew against this, she knew it probably wasn’t smart to draw attention to herself like that. But. It was either get followed, or possibly get in trouble. And Lyrika chose to not get followed. But. Lyrika seemed to have done something wrong, bad karma was just attracted to her. Someone was following her. And by the feeling their stare gave her. It wasn’t someone she wanted to be followed by.

After that, things, didn’t go as badly as Jason had thought. He had still gone to prison but it was a pretty easy sentence. 4 years.
In prison, to Jason’s surprise, they were like family to him. He picked many skills. Jason could fight. He worked out, and the innmates trained eachother. Jason had a quick jab, a deadly right cross and he knew several ways to break a man’s bones.
He also learned how his lightning worked. It follows the path of least resistance. It can make the temperature jumped to as much as 54,000 F, or 5.4 times the surface temperature of the sun. It can be as loud as 120 decibels. Around that of an explosion or jet engine. Enough to cause pain and even deafen people. The flash was bright. The longer the lightning bolt, the more energy that is required.Even if it is for a few moments. A full fledged lightning bolt channeled like that was deadly.
He got out, and the girl was alive. Her family forgived him. But Jason will never forget that day.
Jason had been staring at his sandwhich for 5 minutes. Its gotten cold.
“Fuck…” He thinks. He microwaves it, and then takes it and eats it. As he works at his desk.
After about an hour, he puts on his gloves. They harden when an electric current is channeled within.
And he picks up his Gauss rifle. And some capacitors in a bag. After a quick heavy bag workout, Jason is off into the city again, as he creates a plasma channel within his hands to rocket up to a building. He hops rooftop to rooftop. To see what all this noise and ruckus is about.
(Thanks Bell. You took away my writing mojo)

Cruising down one of the less busy parts of the city, Tophat caught a flash of light from further down the one-way street, followed up by thunder and some fainter rumbling further up and from the left. They swerved a little bit out of surprise then regained control of themselves and the van. Cuckoo roused and looked ahead, standing on her hind legs and putting a paw on the door for balance to try and get a better look.
Jeez, it’s one of those blue people again! Always gotta cause such a ruckus wherever they pop up, don’t they? Tophat smiled. But I sure do cause some ruckus myself at times. Cities are all loud on their own, anyways. This one’s just more like Gotham. With all the bad guys and stuff. Except all the bad guys use electricity. And a lot of them are actually cops. They began to feel somewhat jittery and leaned a bit more on the gas pedal. So, I um, yeah…I should probably not do any more business tonight. Just go to the safehouse.
Judging from the distance and direction of the second roll of thunder, they guessed they would have to pass near that area as well. Hopefully, that person would have left by then. The one here has shown a lot of power, so maybe they’re in a desperate struggle or something. Or just really strong and that’s a casual level for them. They focused back on the road. Either way, I should just get out of here quickly, even with the protections this van has. So they sped up to try and get out of this street before whatever was in that building could get onto it.

“Man what is this a game of catch the kid.” Zane noticed that the guy that fried the bear was climbing the ladder and that the kid with the bear slipped into a nearby window. Next you thing know, Felix, at least that’s what the person called himself Felix entered through the window. “I have to think.” Zane decided to take a gamble. “Hey you on the ladder. Can we just talk for a second.” He just hoped that this guy wasn’t the type to get rid of anyone in the way.

Lyrika searched for the person that was following her. She found a stray metal poll lying around in the alley, and picked it up. She took in a deep breath, and sent electricity through it. “Don’t come near me, who ever you are.”, she said in a clear, crisp tone. After a long moment of silence, Lyrika heard a quick sound of a step coming in her direction. She shoved the electric pole in the nook of her elbow, tore a split in her dress, placed the pole back in her hands, and ran as fast as she could. Lyrika had truly regretted this choice, she was now seeing weird things. She had no idea what had caused this, but all she knew, is that a bunch of freaky boys were acting crazy, around some building. She was present long enough to see a little kid climb through a window, a blue spark of electricity, and a man who seemed twice his age go through the window on the other side. “What a creep.”, Lyrika whispered to her self. She also saw 2 guys who looked around the same age, one on a ladder, and one who was not, but seemed to be saying stuff. None of that mattered to Lyrika, all she saw were standing, talking, get-aways.
She took a sharp turn, running into the alley that the boys were in. Electric pole a’blazin she whisper yelled, “Brace yourselves, for the awakening of the dark is coming.” The whole time she was using one of her hands to point outside of the alley. She hoped to god they knew that she meant that someone was following them. And that she did not want to alert others. She prayed they didn’t see her as some random, nicely dressed, electric chick, running around saying random crap.

Looking over at the man in front of him, he climbed up all the way onto the roof. “Sure,” he said then looked down to find a girl holding a pole. Raising an eyebrow, he watched as she pointed out the ally. He could barely make out what she looked like, seeing how he was up so high. Sighing, he let his attention focus back on the young man in front of him.
(I sorry it so short…
I’ll try to make it longer another time.) -
“Great. Look, the way I see it, we are both trying to make sure that kid doesn’t hurt himself or others. If you let me, I could super charge your muscles in your arms and legs to catch up to him. I warn you though there will be side effects, yet nothing permanent. Just minor exhaustion and possible some cramping. So what do you say?”
