Hey there.
Do you have a secret? You know, something you've been hiding for as long as you can remember. Maybe telling people would hurt you or those around you. If you can agree to that, I know exactly what you mean – and I need your help.
But first, I should make sure I've got the right person. If you're reading this, you've got some sort of... power. Now, that sounds silly, but if you know that you do and you're never told anyone, you're scared. You want to know how I, a random stranger, know this about you. Well, I've got an explanation for you, even if you might not understand it right away.
You see, you're not alone in this. I have a power as well, and I used mine to find you. And, I need your help. I'm writing this letter to you from a... very bad place. I'll tell you more if you decide to offer your help to me. Either way, I assure you that you'll be caught up in this mess somehow. On my side or the other... well, I guess that's up to you. Now, if I've still got your attention, I'll start explaining.
See, I'm not contacting you for fun and games. There's this.. company, I guess you could call them, here who wants to use me, and you, and others like us for their own profit and gain. And it might kill some of us. But they don't really care. They feel like there's a lot of us, and we're simply expendable. And you might think, “Oh, they won't find me, they don't even know who or where I am,” but the thing is, they do. That's my fault, and I'm sorry about it, but it also allows me to warn you.
Now, you may think of me as an enemy after that, but I wish you wouldn't. I don't want to be forced into this any more than you do. I want to help you, and I want your help.
So, are you going to do this? Are you going to help me and escape when they bring you here, or are you going to go along with their plans? I know I haven't given you a lot to go on, but trust me. You don't want to see what they're going to do to the world. Only time will tell your choice, but I sincerely hope you choose my side in this.
As far as I can tell, they'll start transporting you as soon as...
The rest of the note is torn and illegible.
---------------------
One bright, sunny day, a girl was ripped from her homeworld and brought into a cold laboratory. Several people, a woman and two men, were staring down at her with disbelief, and one actually had the audacity to come up and prod her. Shrinking back, she stood up slowly and opened her mouth to speak. "Why am I here?" she whispered, her voice sounding loudly in the quiet room.---------------------
Now, nearly two years later, the girl knows exactly why she's here - and she's going to try to stop it. Using a power she hadn't explored before, she's reaching out to others like her, others who are going to be torn away from the people and places they love. She's begging them for help, begging them to listen. Her only ally has been tormented, abused, and beaten, gone a little mad somewhere along the way. And as for those who brought her to that cold lab? Well, they're not going to let her escape so easily.

Rules and All That Boring Shit
1) Follow the rules of the section: No godmodding/moding, power playing, metagaming, being a dick, etc. Be nice.
2) I reserve the right to kill (or do worse to) your character if you stop posting or begin to power play/godmod.
3) Two powers per person at max. If taking an element, one element per person. Don't take opposing powers such as Inhibitor and Amplifier. You'd kill your character.
4) Your grammar should be decent. Don't make me cry here.
5) Don't get butthurt if I refuse your bio. Try again, but don't cry about it.
6) No more than two characters.

6) No more than two characters.
If you make two characters, they must be on opposing sides... but preferably not interacting directly with each other. That means a big role on one side and a small on the other. (Exceptions can be made.)
As far as characters go, you can make your own, or grab a canon from another universe. Mine is a canon from another universe, the secondary main character is an original, and I have no idea what the main villain is using yet. If your character doesn't have the power in universe, that's fine. Give it to them anyways. On that same note, if your character is Sephiroth, you may not have the power to slam planets into each other anymore. Deal with it.
If you have two powers, please please please don't make them both offensive. Both defensive is iffy, but you can do it. You'll just have to rely on someone else to protect you. Let's balance it out a little bit, please.
You can make your own powers if you'd like. Approve them first, please.
Also, Namine's group is trying to save the worlds from the evil group, that she simply knows as the Company. So she's good, and the Company is evil. Company torments people, etc.
I'll add answers to any questions asked here as well.
