The Condemned
Supernatural anomalies have been appearing since the middle of the twentieth century, during the Second World War. Prisoners of war were subjected to horrendous experimentations, which often resulted in death. Survivors of the poison gas were branded freaks of nature due to their development of inhuman powers. Fearing an uprising, the Nazis kept the small group of mutants a secret. Anyone that dared to escape was shot on sight.
Seventy-five years have passed since the end of the war and as the world looks brightly to the future, it knows nothing of the deadly secrets that could threaten it once more.
A sinister organisation only known as the Black Hand has risen. Based in Russia, they are mutants with one sole intention – reveal their existence and create the Third World War to avenge their grandfathers.
On the other side of the coin, there is MERIT (Mutant Ease Response Intelligence Taskforce). With two mutant units in MI5 and the CIA, each work towards the same purpose – to maintain peace in the world and resolve situations quickly. However, it may seem they have met their match in the Black Hand.
But with the mutant numbers mysteriously dwindling down and the Black Hand already engaging in terrorist attacks across Europe, it’s down to MERIT to stop them and uncover the horrifying truth behind the origins of the mutants.
Rules
No powerplaying, godmodding or metagaming. The vast majority of you should know what they are by now. If you don’t, then go look at the forum rules. I don’t accept any of them being used. If these are broken, you WILL be kicked out. No questions asked.
No killing. This could relate to powerplaying in some way or another, but this is still a rule that has to be enforced. As above, anyone who kills another’s character will be kicked out. No questions asked. However, if you wish to kill one of your own non-playable characters, that is fine. In any case of a character being killed, you need their written permission to do so.
Powers have to go through me first before a template can go through. That means you can contact me either via PM, MSN or any other means. This is because there can be such competition for powers that it's organised better this way.
Also with powers, they cannot be conflicted. For example, a character cannot have pyrokinesis and hydrokinesis because they are complete opposites.
The powers must also be linked somehow. For example, a psychic character would have telepathy, telekinesis and any other relevant psychic powers.
My word is final. I’m the creator of this shenanigan, bitches.
Sides
MERIT
MERIT has existed since the end of World War Two in 1945 and was formed to keep the secret of mutants from the rest of the world. Their main base of operations is in England. Their members are primarily mutants, although it is not uncommon for humans to work alongside them. Their work revolves around solving worldwide cases that are above the likes of MI5 and the CIA. However, they have been tracking the situation of the Black Hand.
Rogue
Those not caught up in the conflict between MERIT and the Black Hand prefer to remain rogue. Whether their intentions are good or evil does not matter since they like to keep to themselves or hang around other rogues. There are some that prefer to sometimes work with MERIT or the Black Hand, although this is not usually the case. It will become inevitable that they will become involved at some point.
The Black Hand
A sinister group that emerged from the secret horrors of the Second World War. It originally came together as a society known as New Directions as support for mutants that were hurting. However, many defected and formed The Black Hand, which is now based in Russia. As revenge for torturing and killing their ancestors, the group intends to create World War Three and reveal their inhuman nature. Their rivals are MERIT, which is the opposite and want to coexist peacefully with humans.
