In our world, not so long before or after our time, you live in the country of Astor, and belong to a unique group of people. For the last twenty years, a rare genetic anomaly occurs once in every 5 million people. These mutants, known as Psychics, each possess a unique magical ability that only they can use. Some of these spells are harmless, however others...are not.
Indeed, many Psychics hold offensive abilities, and despite repeated attempts at reassuring the public, Psychics are feared, vilified, and profiled by non-mutated humans and law enforcement alike, and many live in regret of their magical birthright. Some isolate themselves, living alone. Others allow the stereotypes to be true, and turn to crime and warfare.
You are a teenage Psychic, living a (relatively) normal life in the Astorian city of Tsuma. Ostracized from conventional social groups in your high school, St. Shenzi Prep, you socialize with the small, quirky, diverse group of other Psychics that attend. You hide your ability from society. You You live in a normal home, in a fairly normal city, with your family normal family. More or less, you are complacent with the way things are.
However, your life is about to change soon. After a mysterious assailant strikes at the center of each of your lives, you must embark on a journey with your friends to recover what's been lost....and uncover the secrets to the defining trait of your lives.

Season 1
Hello, one and all, and welcome to Monasis, a teenage look at a divided world. In this roleplay, you are an adolescent Psychic, a human with a unique genetic mutation that gives you a specific magical ability. Your life is fairly normal in the fictional country of Astor, where you attend high school, remaining strong friends with the other Psychics (your fellow roleplayers.)
The story is intended to be a long adventure, take spans across many different types of lands, allies, and enemies. Throughout the journey, your friendships, relationships, and magical abilities will be put to the test. You may even come out a better, and even more accepted member of society.
Things to Keep in Mind:
- While a time period isn't specified, assume that this RP takes place a very very close future. Most technology is the same, however don't be surprised to see some high-level technology show up every now and again.
- Build relationships! Roleplays thrive on lively characters. Feel free to build friendships, enemies, and even romances!
- Your characters are all friends, who have known one another for quite some time. You have a history with these people, so coordinate with your other roleplayers to figure out some backstory!
- Your spell is unique to you, so make it unique! While it is a rule to ignore standard elemental magic, you should also account for your characters personality. Are they more offensive? Defensive? What do they like? What color would represent them?
- Astor is a fictional country, and while it is mostly Asian-inspired, there is a large amount of multicultural origin. Here's a flag!
- Be diverse! Create an interesting characters with flaws and prejudices, nobody's perfect, after all.
- Society doesn't necessarily accept your gift. While not everyone will judge you for it, others are scared, hostile, or even hateful towards your abilities. Understand how to fit into society's unwillingness to tolerate you.
- Society has evolved slightly more than it has now, and sexuality is no longer seen as clear-cut.Having relationships with any genders befroe determining your sexuality is fully accepted.
The Rules yo:
- None of the cardinal RP'in sins (Godmodding, Metagaming, etc)
- Follow my word, and what I say. If I give someone power, please respect said power.
- No one-liners.
- Respect your fellow RP'ers.
- If you are leaving the RP, please let me know first. The same goes for temporary absences.

My App:
Name: Dakota Lowry
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Appearance: boop
Personality: Dakota is your stereotypical rebel: Smartass, Loud-mouthed, Sarcastic, and Brash. He's quick to get angry, and quicker to defend someone he cares about. He shuts out any natural insecurities and feelings he may have, in favor for a constant facade of "coolness". Dakota may have issues, but noone is ever going to hear about them. A punk, in all meanings of the word.
Psych Name & Description: Rifle: Pointing his finger(s) (often in the shape of a gun) at an object, Dakota can shoot a focused beam of energy, hitting an enemy with a massive amount of heat and kinetic energy. It can be used repeatedly, however using it with greater amounts of power can drain him physically.
Current Life Situation: Dakota lives in a small flat, with his 20-year old sister. His parents, both working abroad, rarely visit home, and Dakota hasn't developed a lasting relationship with them. He attends school, has surprisingly good grades he refuses to acknowledge, and spends most of his time around town, either by himself or with his friends. A dull life, and one that Dakota seems to despise.
Quirks: Curses...substantially, has a soft spot for reading and small animals, rides a courier's motorbike, hates rules with a passion, knows most every restaurant owner in town. Probably helps old ladies across the street, but would never be caught doing such a thing.
Other: Probably Pansexual? He isn't fully aware, and doesn't really enjoy having feelings for people regardless.
RP Example: Nope
