Shattered Memories

What I've got in mind is basically just an idea at the moment, but perhaps it's already good enough for an entire rp or you can help me make it better. Here it is:

We all come into this worlds as infants and grow into children with a natural sense of curiosity. As we explore our surroundings, we learn that some things are good and some things are not, that some things are to stay while others aren't that ever lasting. We learn to speak, to walk and to listen and all this time our curiosity grows or changes, but it never fades. And as we grow older, there are some of us who are given an oppertunity, discovered by that very curiosity of ours:

We can choose to gain special gifts, that can make our lifes easier but harder as well. What it does for us, depends on how we use it, but it comes at a price. Nothing is free in life and we will learn that at a very young age as we all choose a gift and each gift has its very own consequence, along with some shared ones.

These gifts are:

• Telekinesis - Consequence: Gradual loss of the sense touch.
  
• Invisibility - Consequence: Gradual loss of the sense sight.
  
• Telepathy - Consequence: Gradual loss of the sense hearing.
  
• Cairvoyance - Consequence: Gradual loss of the sense taste.
  
• Pyrokinesis - Consequence: Gradual loss of the sense smell.
  

And the shared concequences are:

• Loss of the memory that you ever gained these gifts and where/who/what you gained it from.
  
• Everyone gains the knowledge of their date of death and how they will die.
  
• You are able to see dead people.
  

Now, this rp will start quite a few years after we have gained our gifts. We are between our 20th and 40th year of living and the memory of how we gained our gifts, starts to come back, and as it does, we also start to receive these 'signs' that gradually tells us when we will die and how we will die. When the memory has returned completely, we also have the full knowledge about our dead and this will be 'carved' in our chests. Only the ones that have special gifts as well, are able to see it. This is how we will recognize each other. As for the ghosts: we've always been able to see them, from the moment we got our gifts, but since we were just little kids when we got the gifts and our memory of getting them was erased, we don't know any better than that this is just what and who we are. However, we were never able to interact with them, but they are able to interact with us, meaning that they can talk to us, hurt us, haunt us and whatever more comes to mind.

Of course, when we have regained our memories we want to get rid off these gifts, this horror, this curse and we will go back to the source where we once got the gifts: the house that was called haunted in our youth.

Some of us may have lived in another city, another state, another neighborhoud, but we will soon discover that every haunted house we all entered once when we were little, is connected to the main house in which we got our gifts.

Including me, there's room for 5 players since there are 5 gifts. In other words: 4 others can join, at a maximum, but I'll also start this rp if only two are interested.

Now, who's interested?

*bump*

still no one interested?

Sounds kind of cool to me.

Hurrah for your presence! Welcome aboard then If some more people will be interested, I'll post the OOC, otherwise we could turn this into a one-on-one if you want.

Sounds fine.

I'm gonna put up the OOC. Chances are that more people might see it You can create a sheet there and if you want me to reserve you a gift, tell me so and I'll do so. I'll reserve telepathy for myself.

To OOC

May I reserve telekinesis?
If not, that's fine. I'm starting the character sheet now, anyway.

@Cypher: looks like we might be in another RP together, buddy ol pal.

Sounds good to me, oh pal'o'mine.

I'm interested in telepathy. This is my first time trying out an RP here, so I might need some help figuring out where to post what...

**edited: Never mind, didn't know telepathy was taken. Pyro?

You're accepted And of course I'll be glad to help you out with anything

Thanks. I notice that some people have links under their avatars to threads with all of their characters. Is there a certain place to post all of my character profiles?

I dunno about that, since I don't have that myself, but I believe the one you're referring to is not just any character, but one of the major roleplay of this site. You should ask the ones who have that
