[RP] The Outcasts |Time: Early Morning|Weather: Clear

[GrizzlyEatsKids]

PLOT:

Hundreds of years ago, the nuclear World War III devastated Earth, destroying nearly every country and civilization, and almost causing humans to become extinct. Africa, while receiving major damage from the war, had remained neutral for the most part, and those who survived the war and were rich enough migrated to the continent over time. The rich all eventually settled in the center of the continent, creating an advanced utopian paradise known as Sanctum. Sanctum was then ruled by a religious council, who began their own religion, which by law all citizens had to follow. There were a total of thirteen council members, known as the Overrulers, led by a Head Overruler. 

All of the radiation from the war, over time, mutated some of the population of the population's genes, and every once in a while a child with this mutated DNA would be born. These children, simply dubbed "Outcasts", were thrown out of Sanctum, whether to live or die, the Great Council didn't care. Some of Sanctum's citizens realized that this was wrong, and so they sneaked out of Sanctum to form their own nation, the Unified Citizens of Earth, or UCE for short. Throughout a couple hundred years, the UCE grew, expanding to the east, west, and further to the south of the continent. The barren north is considered dangerous, uncharted territory, and the Democracy of the UCE does not allow any sort of travel to that area, under any circumstances.

As time grew on, and the UCE prospered, Sanctum began to run low on valuable resources, which were abundant in the south. Sanctum then raged war on the UCE, and although they had better technology, Sanctum was far less strategic than the UCE, as well as greatly outnumbered. Back in the labs of Sanctum, tests were constantly being done on the children with the mutated genes, which Sanctum had just killed off rather than deported, and a discovery was made. By using secret methods, the mutated genes were able to be extracted from the children and then mutated again. The genes could then be injected into some of Sanctum's members to give them special powers, or magic. After many deaths, the scientists at Sanctum realized that only specific people could withstand the new genes and survive, resulting in only a select few who were able to use magic. Sanctum then used the powered humans to take the UCE under their control, but a few were able to go even further south into hiding, where a new, rebellious organization, known simply as the Renegade, was formed. Sanctum now controls the UCE, which basically serves as the poor, nearly enslaved region of the country, whose citizens are not allowed to enter Sanctum. Sanctum has a problem, though: the Renegade, who, although small, pose a major threat to Sanctum and its secrets. The Renegade has its own secrets, as well, but are they really worse than that of Sanctum? It will take a group of outcasts to unearth the truth behind the land's corruption; a secret that could change the world forever.[/size]

3. You may not control another character without their express permission for ANY reason.

4. No god modding. You are NOT all powerful.

5. While flaming in character is allowed, there are certain restrictions. Flaming cannot be discriminatory towards any real-world race, religion, philosophy, gender, or sexual preference, and that they are characters attacking each other, not members insulting other members.

GM POST

Deep in one of Sanctum's best prisons are ten jail cells, split into two rows, facing each other, with a large aisle in the middle. Nine of the cells are occupied by members of a Renegade Army squad that was sent out to destroy the location where Sanctum kept the modified DNA used to create Casters, or those who were able to use magic. Their arms and legs are chained against the walls of their cells, angled so that they can view the screens in the aisle, which is currently blank. Three of Sanctum's Casters walk the aisle, armored in the standard Sanctum soldier armor.

Suddenly, the screens all come to life, and a female reporter is heard, but not seen.

Welcome all. Recently, you may have heard of the terrorist attack carried out by the Renegade Army on one of our great Sanctum's military facilities. Today, you will all witness the live execution of that terrorist squad's leader.

The camera zooms in to the stage in front of a loud, enormous crowd. There two soldiers can be seen escorting a man, who is gagged, out from behind the stage. He was barely recognizable anymore, Sanctum's beating and torturing mutilating his appearance. He can faintly be recognized as having been the commander of the apparently failed mission that the inmates of this cell block were a part of.

Leon and Celine

Leon's eyes slowly draw open. He weakly lifts his head up, looking across the aisle at Celine's cell, who was already awake, looking at him. They held each other's gaze for a moment, and Leon could not only see the worry in her eyes, but feel it. A lump forming in his throat, Leon swallowed, the saliva burning his dry throat as it worked its way down. He broke his gaze away from Celine as the monitors came to life, for the first time since they originally woke in these cells. He then noticed what he feared to suspect, the execution of the squad's commander. What did this mean for the rest of the squad?

Luke

Luke's eyes fluttered open with the blaring sounds of the screen. He looked up at the monitor, the cuts and bruises covering his body screaming in pain. He wanted to lash out, to holler, but he figured he best be quiet, as the guards were still patrolling. Lashing out could alert them, which was not a good idea. Then he realized what was being shown on the monitor, and he couldn't help but feel partly responsible.

[WhistfulSoul]

Soul

Soul pulls on his chains again, knowing it's the only thing that will prevent the paining of his scar. He knows that if he slacks it will send waves of shock through his body, and his brain calls back the memory of how he got it. It was another facility, also one of the Sanctums', but not nearly as locked down as this one. Soul's limbs grow tired again, and he relaxes once more, pain ricocheting through his spinal chord. Soul looks out from his cell to see another cell with a hooded figure he can only assume to be Nexalas. Next to his cell is a screen with their squad leader being shown. Soul droops his head again, his scars' pain overlapping all of his senses.

[NexosYourGayBestFriend96]

Nexalas

He was already awake, being quiet as he tried forming a plan of escape. He looked at the screen and tried his best not to yank the chains or make a sound, knowing that attention would be drawn to him. He had no idea if they completed their mission or not, but from what he could remember they have definitely caused a little grief. He looked to his arms and legs, both of them restrained to the wall.

Knowing Sanctum, after their done with him they will probably wait and drag out our fear a little before they execute us, so I have plenty of time to plan for the moment. Now, how to get rid of these chains... We have no fire power and the guards are armed with guns and possibly magic, meaning if I try anything they'll shoot me.

He decided not to overwork his mind and watch the execution. Though sickening, he at least doesn't want to look away just to dishonor his death.

Sone

His restrains where extra tight, and every muscle in his body was sore, and some bones were probably broken. He looked to the screen, his eyes filled with utter hatred and disgust.

Is this some sort of a game to them?!

[Humen]

John, Mike and Adam

Mike wakes to the sounds of the guards walking by patrolling. He sees his hands and feet are bound and he has bruises all over. He been in situations like this before but not this badly injured and with the guards patrolling around it’s too dangerous to even try and make an escape. Then the screen above turns on and the noise wakes John who was right across from him. When John looks at the screen and sees the commander being taken and looking in the condition he does. John begins to rattle his chains trying to get loose but he just makes his scars worse.

Adam can hear sound of chains rattling and looks up at the screen. He feels sorry for the commander being carried away in such a state. When one of the guards passes by Adam's cell he reaches for his bandanna for his knife. But he can’t reach it with the ways his hand s is chained and goes back to watching the screen.

GM POST

The squad commander is shoved down on his knees. He doesn't even attempt to make a struggle, for he knows it will only make things worse for himself, his squad, and the Renegade's appearance. The executioner, wearing a black hood, walks up on the stage. There is no guillotine, just a large box, with a fairly decent sized, rounded notch on the top. One of the soldiers shoves the commander's neck into the notch, his head hanging off the edge. The executioner then draws his weapon, something that every member of the squad will recognize. It Sone's sword, the katana that he was so famous for wielding. Swinging the weapon over his head, the executioner hacks off the commander's head, many in the crowd averting their gaze, some even emitting screams and gasps.

[WhistfulSoul]

Soul

Soul raises his head and sees through his blurred vision the execution of their commander. Unknowing of how to react, he simply puts his head down again.

I realize they have no tolerance, but do they really think killing off one of us will stop our entire motive?

Soul tries to rack his brain for anything he might be able to do to escape. If that's even possible. They knocked us out, and chained us up while we were unconscious. We don't even know what this place looks like. While he can't do much else, he examined his cell.

Above him was a barred window, across from him was the cell bars which he could see out of, and a small iron door that was barely six foot tall. There was one strip light bulb in the ceiling, which didn't provide for much light. On the ground was a small drain, with several red stains next to it, which Soul could only assume came from him, as the rest of the cell was spotless. Outside of the cell, all he could see was Nexalas across from him, and the occasional guard that passed by.

[NexosYourGayBestFriend96]

Sone

His eyes widened, and he gritted his teeth. He started yanking at his chains are hard as he could, resulting in rattling echoing across the prison. His adrenaline was rushing, and he was absolutely livid.

I'll kill you! I'LL KILL YOU!

He continued yanking at his chains in absolute fury.

Nexalas

Nexalas' eyes widened as well, did they think they were proving a point by using one of the renegade's weapons?!

I know he's famous, but he doesn't deserve to see his own weapon being us-

His thoughts where interrupted by the rattling chains and Sone's yelling.

Oh... now they've done it. There has to be some means of escape...

[GrizzlyEatsKids]

Luke

Luke watched in horror as the commander was beheaded with Sone's blade. What kind of sick joke was this? He gritted his teeth. They needed to find a way out of her-

He strained his neck, looking up, feeling something running down his arm. Were the handcuffs turning to liquid? What was going on?

Celine

Celine looked away as the commander was executed. A lump formed in her throat, making it difficult to swallow. She couldn't bear to look, although she already knew what happened. She just wanted to get out of here, and forget all of this. Why did any of this have to happen, anyway?

Suddenly, she cringed, Sone's screaming alarming her. Her eyes then grew wide as she accidentally looked up at the screen. They used Sone's weapon to execute their commander. Why? What kind of message were they trying to send?

Leon

All of a sudden, Leon was filled with rage. How could they do something like this? Executing the commander, unfortunately, he understood. But using Sone's most prized possession to do so? This was low, even for Sanctum. Leon thrashed about, calling out to one of the nearby guards, using more colorful language than he was accustomed to. Suddenly, a sharp pillar launched up, out of the ground from behind him, shattering the chains that held him to the wall. As he fell to the ground, he stuck his fist out to break his fall, and a single row of pillars rippled forward, breaking through the cell door and heading towards one of the guards!

GM- Guards

Guard 1

@Nex

One of the guards walked up to the screaming Sone's cell, a ball of fire appearing in his outstretched hand.

Why don't you shut up before I make you?

Guard 2

He turned towards Leon.

Quiet! Before I cut your tongue ou-

Before he had time to fully react, the pillar busted through the cell door, impaling the guard and shattering the monitor behind him.

[NexosYourGayBestFriend96]

Sone

He looks straight at the guard, his face was filled with absolute fury that would horrify his enemies. In his rage, his upper arm started glowing, and the chains binding it melted as a blast of plasma was shot from Sone's hand at the guard, resulting in an explosion.

Nexalas

He looked to his cell door as an explosion happened, unsure of what was going on.

Either one of the mages guarding us attacked, or they meant Sone's rage was explosive in a literal sense.

[Humen]

John and Mike

When  Mike saw the executioner throwing down Sine’s sword he cried out thrusting his hand forward as if to stop the sword. His hands were pulled back by the chains but a dark figure had shot up straight towards John. It didn’t hit him but his chains freeing his arms. When Mike looked down he saw the figure was coming from him, from his shadow to be exacts.

When John arms were freed he grabbed the chains trying to pull them off he then turned to Mike.
"Mike what. No, HOW are you doing that and do you think u can help me with these chains."

Mike grabs his hand and the shadow pulls back. With scared of what he had done he turns to John
"Are you kidding ?! What if i miss, it might go straight through you!"

Then an explosion goes off from down the hall startling both of them.

Adam
With all the noise Adam became nervous as to what was going on. Sweat started to pour off his face and hands. Adam clenched his fist not knowing how to get out. Then something started to wiggle in his hand. When he looked at it some liquid started stretching out his hand. He quickly let go and the liquid stabbed into the floor before turning into a puddle of water. When Adam saw the indent it made into the floor he got an idea and picked up a piece rusty metal shard that had fallen off one of his cell bars to see if it might change.

[WhistfulSoul]

Soul

Almost immediately after their commander was beheaded, Soul hears a multitude of sounds from the other cells. Such sounds included yelling from Sone, what sounded to be the breaking and clattering of chains, a few guards, (one of which began to talk but was silenced by who knows what), an explosion, more clattering of chains, then silence. He looks up to see Nexalas also intrigued, and Soul nods his head in the direction of the sounds. I can only assume we're at the end of a hallway. Soul tries to look farther down said hallway, but moving too much hurts his scar.

To anyone who happens to be listening, what's going on.

[NexosYourGayBestFriend96]

Nexalas

Since the guards seemed distracted, he tested his chains one at a time to see if there was a weak link, but to no avail. He then looked across to Soul, talking to no one specifically. He smiled a worried smile, he had a feeling he knew what happened.

Long story short, they got Sone angry.

[GrizzlyEatsKids]

GM- Guards

The explosion knocked the guard onto his back, the attack missing. The other guard ran over to him as he stood up.

Don't worry about me! There's more going on, you idiot!

The other guard stood there anyway, as the first threw a ball of fire at Sone!


Leon and Celine

What the-

Leon shook his head. He didn't need to worry about this right now. Standing up, Leon figured that they musn't have been in the prison too long, as he still had most of the strength in his legs. While the commotion was going on over at another cell, he quickly grabbed the key off of the dead soldier's belt and used it to unlock Celine's cell door.

Leon, what's going on?

Shh, I'm not positive right now.

Whispering, he started unlocking the braces around her ankles and wrists, his hands a little shaky. Once Leon got them unlocked, Celine slumped forward, and he was luckily able to catch her.

You alright?

Yeah, I just need a minute.

Within a few moments Celine was able to stand on her own. As she uneasily rubbed her sore wrists, cut by the braces that held them to the wall.

Stay in here for now, it's safest in this cell.

Leon, I'm competent enough to-

No, Celine, that isn't my point. Those guards are Casters, and we're unarmed. I'm going to go and try to free some of the others while the guards are distracted.

Celine nodded, kissing Leon briefly on the cheek.

Be safe.

Leon, a bit unsure of what to expect, gave Celine a slight thumbs-up as he left her cell, quietly, but quickly, closing her cell door so as not to arise instant suspicion (although he left it unlocked).

Leon then ran over to Soul's cell, his friend and near-student, and unlocked it, first freeing his hands, and then his feet.

You holding up alright? Come on, let's see what we can do.

Luke

Luke dropped to his feet, the chains having melted away.

...the heck?

He scratched his head in confusion, noticing that the bars of his cell door had melted away as well. He cautiously stepped out of the cell, trying to get a full assessment of what was happening, when he was hit by a sudden realization.

We must be able to use magic. All of us must be Casters, in fact, seeing as we all survived the attack on the facility...

[NexosYourGayBestFriend96]

Sone

The guards, fortunately, were stupid enough to give him a moment to realize what he just did and how he did it. When the guard threw a ball of fire at him, Sone didn't even flinch, and instead yanked the other chain in the way, resulting in the chain melting and freeing his other arm. He then quickly put both of his hands together in a controlled fashion and fired a concentrated plasma blast at the guards.

(I'm just assuming that the chains are long enough for him to land on the ground)

Nexalas

He saw Leon go to Soul's cell and free him, and he held back a sigh of relief, not knowing if they are in the clear yet. He waited patiently, looking to Leon and letting him take his time.
