For all intents and purposes, everything is normal in Mason. It's going through a bad time, with the wealthy losing their wealth and crime escalating, but it wasn't much in wealth or safety to begin with.
However, there is a time that the people of Mason keep under wraps. Ten years ago, in the little destroyed building on the old hill, opposite the graveyard, there was a tiny, peculiar orphanage. It was run by a priest, and two nuns. Whilst the nuns were fine, with one residing as the matron of the church and the other dying of age a few years back, it was the priest and the... Oh so strange children that inhabited it.
After a large scale skirmish between the priest and one boy, Maxim, the place fell into disarray, with the priest and Maxim -having vanished.
The other children moved on. Some were adopted. Some lived on the streets. Some made families. Some were too young to even remember the orphanage, and lived out their lives never knowing.
However, when all of them, including Maxim, are in the town together once again through no plan of their own, the town once again is sent into chaos. Criminals bargain for the strange children, bounty hunters search them down, and a crypt of a holy man opens from the inside.....
Introduction done, onto the business part! This RP is set in the fictional small city of Mason, Wales, in the mid 1800's. Whilst there is factories, jobs, and a whole passel of hills, there still does not seem much to do in Mason. A strange mix between slice of life and supernatural action come together in this semi-open world RP. By open world, I mean of course, Mason. You will still have plots to follow, most bobviously, but that will hardly stop you from going off and doing your own things if you so wish.
Now, I'm sure all of you are wondering "Oh cool, what kind of powers can I have?!" Well, silly beings of flesh, I actually have a few limitations to what you can possess. HOWEVER, these limitations are quite simple.
- [*1]If you can destroy a small building in one go, you are much, MUCH too powerful. Hell, even half a building is too much.
[*2]If it allows you to godmod or metagame, that's a nono.
[*3]No spacial manipulation or reality warping besides small things like transmodifying stones or teleportation or things of that small nature. [*4]Even the hax needs to stay on the lower end.
[*5]One ability per person.
[*6]On that note, TRY to have differing abilities. You don't NEED to, but at least try.

Appearance:
Current status: Maxim has been wandering the countryside for about 10 years, living off the land. He has no family, as he has yet to settle down. He is, however, wanted in a few small towns...and London. Currently, he is entering Mason looking for his old friends.
Abilities: Maxim has the ability to bring his physical attributes to double that of a normal man, including speed, strength, endurance, and durability. this is a passive affect, and only off when asleep.
Skills: Maxim is a skilled hand to hand fighter.
What were they doing during the fight where the priest died?: The screams filled the halls with a sound of terror, foreboding filling Maxim to the brim. I rushed down the stairwell, nearly tripping as I hurried at my top speed. However, I was not prepared for what I saw. Johnny lay dead, the priest holding something. His...spirit maybe?
Without thinking, I charged. Father Hamson whirled to face me, and our bodies collided. In a blind rage, I attacked oiver and over, not stopping until I saw the other children gathering. I got up slowly, shaking. The priet lay at my feet, bloodied and broken. Johnny lay dead nearby. "It...it wasn't..." I turned and ran, hiding my face and shame from the onlookers. I ran and ran, not listening to the calls behind me. A murderer, that's what I would be labeled as. They didn't see what I saw. The townsfolk blurred pat me as I fled, never to return.
After I had left the city, I ran still until I collapsed in the woods, far off the road. I would not return, not until this all blew over. Sleep came, shakingly, as I lay on the cold ground. In the morning, I would flee even farther, hopefully before a possee was sent out.
The other children didn't seem to make it yet. This was lucky, for they did not have to witness the one thing
Did you read the rules?: This is my RP, so screw the OP, destroy the OP, and burn him at a crisp! Well...don't actually...I like my life.
