IC: It can be found here. Plot: It’s the year 2020 on planet Earth and things are a total mess. Crime is running amok, but that’s the least of the government’s problems. The threat of a third world war looms on the horizon, which has started an arms race unlike anything that has ever been seen before. A new weapon of mass destruction is currently in development, but it’s not a missile. Scientists are developing a formula that, when injected into a human body, turns them into a fighter of unmatched quality. Sounds like a generic plot? Just wait. The formula meant to achieve their goals has inexplicitly killed off 95% of the test subjects. The government considered it a dud and, after pressure was placed on them by the public, were just about to give the order to discontinue the project when disaster struck. The building where the formula had been developed exploded, killing everyone inside besides a single person, the one in charge of the project. The cause of the explosion was originally a mystery, but three months later some clues arose. A group of assassins had sprung into action, and by the look of things they had physical abilities beyond that of normal humans. They were not only faster, stronger, and had more endurance, but some instances claim that they could heal quickly and have a strong tolerance to pain. It was clear that these assassins had not only received the formula, but that they were somehow behind the attack. Oddly enough, all of these assassins appeared to be female, and it was then that they realized that most of the test subjects that had died had been male while the female test subjects had survived. Had the formula been a success after all? But why would it affect men and women differently? Only one person in the world had the answers to that question, and she went only by the name of The Mother. The Blossom: The Mother is in charge of a group of assassins known as The Blossom, named so because of a metaphor and as a reference to the theme that they go by; flowers. The group is made of women from all over the world, although most originated from orphanages called the White Blossom Orphanage for Girls, found all across America. The companies main headquarters, located in New York, serves as the secret headquarters for the Blossom. The formula has a much higher success rate on women, making this chain of orphanages the perfect place to find potential test subjects. The Mother chooses people whose personalities match what she needs in an assassin, and if they agree to join her then they get injected with the formula. If not…well…let’s just say it wouldn’t be wise to decline on her offer. Upon inclusion into the Blossom, each member picks a flower from the garden and the name of that flower becomes their official codename. Because there is only a single flower there for each type, each person’s codename is unique. So far over forty flowers have been removed from the garden with only five remaining. The assassins are commonly tasked with killing criminals or other assassin groups that threaten them. Due to the police practically allowing crime to spin out of control, in all honestly a lot of people favored what they are doing. The Blossom consider themselves to be vigilantes on the side of justice more so then assassins, but as time went on, more and more questionable targets started showing up in their list of kills. Some of the casualties included simple businessmen and scientists who appeared to have some connection to the group who helped develop the formula. One of the assassins questioned The Mother’s recent behavior, but she was never heard from again. The Mother knew all about each and every one of them, so rebelling against her appeared to be like suicide. That is what most of the members believed, so many of them stayed with her out of self preservation. Others stayed because they were perfectly fine with the recent events, and only a few decided to stand up against her. However, being wanted by the government and having prize money placed on their heads by the very group they had once worked for, there was nobody to turn to but themselves. Unfortunately for them, The Mother had far more evil plans then they had realized. Will any of them live to tell about it? Other Information/Character Sheet Accepted Characters Important NPC's

Reserve a character of mine with the codename Lily. I really don't agree with an all female RP, but I'll join regardless. |

It's not neccesarally an all female RP (you can be a male character if you would like). My next roleplay I have planned is going to have a male dominated plot like usual, but I decided that before I did so I would do something a little different. EDIT: I edited in this fact into the first post so I could clear up any discrepancies.

Interesting. Is a tree's flower a possibility? If so, I'd like to reserve the Crateva religiosa. I won't be able to whip up a profile this week though, got exams. Maybe the weekend if my hangovers aren't too bad. And ryoku, males just have a physical disadvantage, but power is not neccesarily physical. If your character has the resources, he can probably put up a good fight as long as he avoids direct confrontation. In most historic settings, male characters would have great advantages over female ones that you couldn't override so easily. Besides, the female characters may be physically stronger but I sincerely doubt they're going to survive being shot through the head with a sniper rifle. A male character might just be a lot more interesting because he has to get a lot more creative to keep up with the Blossom, or maybe because he has the responsibility of an individual's safety weighing down on his shoulders and has to fight against a power greater than him. The underdog is that one character the people always root for. Powers aren't what make a character interesting, the limits to those power that are. Prevailing regardless of disadvantage is the best kinda victory you can get. |

This sounds like a very cool RP. Just the right one to get me back into RPing. I'll make a profile sheet ASAP, but as for right now I'd like to reserve the flower Nerine. Also, I'm wondering if you allow double characters. I'll consider making a guy as well. |

To Paraplu, tree flowers are allowed (I'm not going to be that stingy. lol). And yep, not many of them could survive a headshot. However, one person will make an appearance later on who has such advanced healing abilities that even headshots would only stun her for a couple minutes. To Midnight Inasanity, double characters are allowed. |

Name- Reia Va'Les Codename- Camellia (prefers her real name but if using her codename she goes by Ellia) Gender- Female Age- 12 (yes I know its younger but I couldn't resist) Powers/Weapons- The darkness is Reias friend. Reia is able to hide in darkness. Im not talking she can slip into shadows or anything, but in a dark corner she cant be seen unless she wants to be, if given a dark room she could have a field day. She can also see in little to no light situations as if it was day time. She uses a pair of arm blades. The blades are made of a hardened plastic so metal detectors dont pick them up, and with her long baggy sleeves they are next to impossible to notice. The blades are also surprisingly sharp to make up for her lack of strength, however as she ages and her strength increases the blades will become more dangerous than they already are. Physical description- Reia is short even for her age at only 4'3". She has short messy blond hair and deep blue eyes. Her skin is smooth, and lightly suntouched (not quite tan not quite pale) She wears a baggy long sleeved white shirt with a picture of a cat casing a ball of yarn on it, the sleeves are quite a bit longer than her arms. And wears a long white, frilled skirt that goes down past her knees. Biography- Reia was always a happy child at her orphanage, turning everything into a game, including those who wanted to adopt her. Any time someone wanted to adopt her she would create some ridiculous game which would wind up chasing them away as often the game involved injury of some kind. Eventually this caught the eye of The Mother who 'recruited' Reia into the fold with the promise that there would be plenty of games. Though she has only been on two missions thus far those missions were finished in quite...brutal fashions. Her first was found with his spine severed and every one of his internal organs punctured. The second was found with a drawing on his chest, much like a treasure map leading to a large puncture wound on his heart; the drawing was done when he was still alive. (She seems just so innocent until you hit her bio XD) Edited by Kraveing_volkf, October 30, 2010, 12:15 am.

Your character is approved. As for my character, I'll come out with her character sheet sometime today. It's hard to decided between the one's I've come up with. By the way, I just thought of a way around a plot hole that nobody has realized or mentioned yet. Orphanages are generally for kids, so the older ones would have been out of the orphanage for a while now. For older characters, The Mother would have seeked them out after they've already left and found a job. |

I believe (but could be mistaken) an orphanage keeps kids until they are 18 but yea I guess those who are like 30 or something would have been in a job

I'll post my two characters (The Mother is technically my third, but she won't do too much until later). One of them is good and one is evil, so if one side isn't getting enough action I'll focus on the character from that side to try to keep things moving. Name-Iris Silver Codename-Bluebonnet (Also referred to as Liquid 14, or L14, or possibly either L or 14) Gender-Female Age-16 Powers/Weapons-Due to the effects of the formula, water now seems to have a strong attraction to her. If she focuses her power, she can draw the water toward her much faster then it would naturally. Upon contact with her skin, she cain gain enough control over it's properties to change it into a solid or a gas. The water is influenced by her power, and can thus become a lot more durable then regular ice. The water can expand outwards from her body and be controled as easily as her limbs as long as the water is connected to her skin. As for normal powers, her speed and reaction times are the most enhanced, allowing her to be twice as agile and react twice as fast as she did originally. For a weapon she uses a sword, but she’s trained herself in hand to hand combat. She's also been trained to fire pistols, but she prefers close range combat. Physical description-This. She also wears a light blue overcoat while out in public (which conceals her sword), but during a fight she discards the overcoat, the scabbard, and her socks/shoes (if she’s planning on drawing water up onto her skin by her feet). Her eyes are silver in color and her hair is just a tad lighter and silver tinted then what is seen in the picture. The red writing on her thigh will be kept, but it will say Liquid 14 instead of Vocaloid 1. Biography-She’s been at the White Blossom Orphanage for as long as she can remember. She was considered the teacher’s pet, but even though she wanted to be normal she was always the center of attention because of this. Some of the others would make fun of her and she was too shy to stand up for herself, but one day she stood up for another girl who was also being bullied. She gained a lot of respect after this and many considered her to be a lot cooler then they had originally thought, but her shyness hasn’t improved much despite her small gathering of fans. One day she received an offer to join a group called the Blossom, and her strong sense of justice caused her to take the offer. She wanted to help others from being pushed around like what happened to her, and there was so much crime in the world that needed fixing. However, one day she figured out that she had been naive this whole time and was duped by The Mother. EDIT:I may change Iris's powers a little bit. Name-Laina Mathews Codename-Orchid Gender-Female Age-17 Powers/Weapons- Her body reacted strongly to the formula, suppressing her powers as long as her emotions don’t get the best of her. Once her powers are released her personality changes completely, making her become much more aggressive, violent, and prone to trash talking. Activating this state makes her incredibly tired after a couple of hours, forcing her out of the state and often times resulting in loss of consciousness. All her abilities are greatly enhanced, but the largest increase is her strength. On the downside her mind becomes slightly hazy, reducing her strategic capabilities. In her normal state she's quite intelligent. For a weapon, she has two larger daggers on her at all times. If she's prepared for combat she brings with her a ball and chain. The inspiration for this weapon was taking from one of her favorite film villains (Try and guess who if you can). Physical description-This. However, the red is replaced with black. Biography- She has been in the White Blossom Orphanage ever since her parents died violently in a robbery. The police proved to be incompetent in the case and Reina lost all hope in the current justice system. She wanted the power to enact revenge on all who have wronged her and set the world to her ideals. The Mother noticed her lust for power and included her into the Blossom. Laina, of course, couldn't be more pleased. |

Name: Johanna Elise Codename: Crateva Religiosa, commonly refered to as An (short for Anansi) Gender: Female Age: 17 Powers: Jo's physical abilities have improved allowing her to use and carry around weaponry as if they were their plastic-toy equilivants. Other than that her fine motor skills have improved drastically as well as her agility and reaction-time. Jo is currently using her increased dexterity to develop a skill in accurate strikes at pressure points. A new power has manifested within Jo that they call 'phantom limbs'. Essentially, these are invisible arms and legs that branch out of her limbs as if she were to be a tree. However at the moment, they are still rather weak; incapable to carry her own weight and they can't take too much damage before numbing. Nor are they very dextrous and are short and not very numerous. However they can be used to hold small objects and as extra layers of defence and regenerate relatively quickly if destroyed. Jo's main focus is currently on strengthening her phantom legs so she can move with more speed and unpredictability, but she is also training her phantom arms to wield multiple weapons at once and help her scale surfaces. Weapons: Not very fond of the trends her co-assassins seem to have picked up with melee-weaponry, Jo prefers to use guns. Lots of, lots of guns. Rifles, grenades (flash, smoke, etc.) and all those kinds of modern tools enjoy her preference. Other than that, Jo uses knives for silent assassination and utility purposes, but tends to avoid them in actual combat in favour of striking, some grappling, but mostly raw fire-power. Physical description: Jo is a relatively tall young woman, with slightly masculine features, represented in her face and arms. Jo is muscular for a girl, which shows. She features a dark skin, dark eyes, full lips and a rather broad nose. Her hair is braided into dreads and dyed red, often worn in a knot for the ease. Her wardrobe tends to go for the tough look. Shirts are often sleeveless to show off her arms and she is not shy for them being low-cut either to show off her abs. Her tops often come with vests or jackets, as well as baggy pants and sneakers. A lot of her colours are white, black and green. Biography: At the orphanage she was the kid that got in trouble... A lot. Jo had a distaste for being bossed or pushed around that from the first seconds of her arrival. She preferred friendships with the kids outside the orphanage more than those inside, just so she could show everyone she didn't belong there. Inside White Blossom, she was rather lonesome by choice, and agressive too. Jo conidered herself a viligante, which translated into something completely different in the adult world. "Of course he shouldn't have stolen her lunch, Jo, but that is not a good reason to break his nose!" Picked up for her strong individualistic traits and predictable, but more importantly; exploitable motivations, Jo was recruited the Mother. Due to her nature and that of her abilities, Jo is more commonly sent on missions that require more combat than stealth. Edited by Paraplu, October 28, 2010, 5:46 pm.

Your character is approved. I'm going to make some changes to Iris's powers, then start working on the IC (which I'll try to post some time today or tomorrow). It begins right after the assassin that questioned The Mother's leadership gets killed. Most of the assassins in the Blossom are currently seperated and out on missions. They have just delivered some crucial blows to other powerful assassin organizations, allowing for few people to oppose The Mother's power. |

Beautiful Mistake

Name: Janie Monroe Codename: Nerine Gender: Female Age: Eighteen Powers/Weapons: For Janie, the effects of the formula were both a blessing a curse. Due to its effects of her body, Janie lost her ability to see like a normal person. But in turn for the loss of her sight, her other senses were heightened in a way that she is now able to see differently. He hearing is so good now that she can see the wavelengths of noise in her mind's eye. Anything that makes even the slightly noise she will hear and "see." Her heightened sense of touch allows her to see in an infrared like fashion, feeling the heat come off anything around her. Her other senses have become more advanced as well, but the gains she gets from taste and smell are nothing worth noting at the moment. For weapons, Janie carries around a rather large stave; something she claims is her "walking stick." She also likes to carry around an assortment of small hand daggers on her person, preferring to fight it out old school. Despite being blind, she is still nimble and quick. Physical Description: Janie Biography: Janie was one of the original members of the Blossom, though at the time of the start up, she was one of the youngest. Due to this, she is rather close to the Mother, though not as close as some other members of the Blossom. She has a loyalty to the group of assassins, for they were the ones to get her out of all of the horrendous testing she had been put through. And after the destruction of the building, they all took each other in, like a family. Her loyalty to the group is strong, but her morals seem to tell her something is wrong with what they are doing. Janie is a rather passive person on the outside though, so she lets it go and goes along with the Mother's plans for now. She has nothing else to live for anyway, her parents were dead before she could remember and she had lived in an orphanage her whole life, and then a laboratory. It's through the Blossom that she can see the real world and actually live a life, even if it is not entirely her own. (Hope this is okay! ) |

You're character is approved! I'll start on the IC now that I updated Iris's powers/weapons. Here's her updated version (it changes at the third sentance): Due to the effects of the formula, water now seems to have a strong attraction to her. If she focuses her power, she can draw the water toward her much faster then it would naturally. Upon contact with her skin, she cain gain enough control over it's properties to change it into a solid or a gas. The water is influenced by her power, and can thus become a lot more durable then regular ice. The water can expand outwards from her body and be controled as easily as her body as long as the water is connected to her skin. As for normal powers, her speed and reaction times are the most enhanced, allowing her to be twice as agile and react twice as fast as she did originally. For a weapon she uses a sword, but she’s trained herself in hand to hand combat. She has also been trained to fire pistols, but she prefers close range combat. I thought of a third character that can move through solid objects at will, so if anyone's interested you can have that power. If not she'll be an NPC. That will be a near god-like power to have, especially for an assassin, so she'll probably be one of the main bad guys. If you wan't that power, there should be some limitations to this or else your fights would be so easy. |

hey nobody I 'kinda' metioned it in Reias bio...well her powers, but her strength is her secondary increase power. It will just take some time for her young muscles to work correctly. I plan on her getting stronger as the rp progresses basically. Oh and side note, Reia wont 'really' be on a side, she will go where the 'fun' is, thus if it seems like following Mother will be more fun she will, if it seems like going against mother will be fun she will, and she will gladly switch sides if one side seems to be having more fun. (her fun is everything from childish games to dangerous sadistic ones so yea) Edited by Kraveing_volkf, October 29, 2010, 6:37 pm.

I posted the IC. It can be found here. The parts with The Mother in them will always be kind of dark, which is why the opening post is like that. The other scenes I do will be a little more light hearted. On Halloween, maybe I can post a scene involving The Mother that will try to be spooky. She's certainly done some spooky things in her life. |

Luckily Iris's ice is strong enough to block a plastic blade (although that wouldn't help if you catch her by suprise). Still, by the first cut Iris would probably be quick enough to get away and get her defenses up if water's nearby. |
