Welcome to Gaia! ::

the bold sentences i have changed/added in

Background:
Long ago their once used to be a legend that every 1000 years 4 heroes with unique powers would appear to save the land from certain doom. Of course the legend was true......Now in present day 3 scientists discovered these 4 individuals with these unique powers and decided to run a few experiments. Born from their experiments was a type of liquid that when drank would grant you one of the 4 powers they had. The scientists had planned to use the liquid to gain power and rule over the city, but the 4 they had experimented on, prevented their plans, but by a freak accident the vial smashed into a nearby sink and was soon down the drain and into the cities water system.

The liquid now in the city water system, it would soon be drank by everyone in the city. Though later on they found that the diluted liquid did not have a direct effect on the people, but instead effected any newborn child. Though which child it effected for some reason became random. Many years later their is now a large population of people with special powers within the city and a few that are scatered throughout the world. These people were outcasted, shunned by their community and even sometimes their own family.

After three generations of gifted childs, 4 people of the first generation decided to create a school for those with the special powers. A safe haven as you would call it, for those with power. Not only would this school provide safety for them, but would teach them how to properly use the powers, and to use them for a good cause, and so after many years the school became very populated. But with the creation of this school, soon after came the creation of the organization know as 'Normal People'. Their goal; to destroy the school and rid the world of everyone who had these strange powers

The organization began portraying those with the special powers as a plaque or a disease and should be removed from the world before they destory it. Because of this many people have soon came to hate and detest all who had these powers. To rectify that, the main goal of the school was to convince people that they were not a threat, to let them know that they are no different than anyone else. Now if having to deal with organization wasn't bad enough, they have an even bigger problem to deal with.......those born with 'mutated' powers. These people where born with powers that turned out to be different than the original 4, which where fire, ice, wind, and earth. These people with 'mutated' powers were shunned not only but other who had the orginal 4 powers but by the entire community as well they soon began to want to rule the world and destroy all the others with power, for they believe they are inferior to them.

'Normal People'
'Normal People' is an organization who's main goal is the destroy the school for those with power, and to rid them all from the community. They pretty much have supporters hidden in every company and government, even some of the police force is on their side. It is also believe they may have infiltrated the school disguised as maybe a janitor or the school gardener.

'Mutants'
Mutants as they are commonly referred as by others who have special powers. Their goal is to rule the world, and destroy anyone who has the original 4 powers. Their own powers can range from lightning, to even something like magnetism.

School for the gifted(might change should i think of a better name for the school)
The school created by the four men, a safe place for those with power to learn, and live peacefully. The school was at first created to teach people how to use their power and also not to use their powers for something evil like stealing from other. But after they discovered the organization trying to shut them down, and ruin the image of those with powers, They soon began to try to show the community that they have no ill intentions what so ever. Also now that their has been the discovery of those with mutated powers their other goal is to prevent any and all plans they should come up with.

The 4 Founders
The four founders who created the school each had different powers. one with fire, one with ice, one with wind, and finally one with earth powers. Though their was four founders only two have decided to stay and run the school, one male and one female. The other two (who where male) both decided to travel around the world searching for those who have powers and direct them to the school, and thus because of that the school has a wide variety of people from all over the world.

Class
Power control(basic course): In this class students will be learning the basics of controlling their new found power. Students will also learn how to use their abilities in many different ways, but nothing too complicated for students in this class tend to have just discovered their powers.
Power control (advanced course): This is a move advanced course where students will be learning some highly difficult skills, and also learn some team combination's with other persons ability for example say fire and ice to combine and make steam (Though it would take both people to manipulate the steam in any way.)
History of Magic: Yes I know this says history of magic but the main thing students will be learning about is the origin of their powers, and also that many years ago it used to be that only 4 people had their powers only once ever 100 years until the scientists experiments.
Combat: In this course students will learn how to apply their abilities in battle should the school be attacked by the organization called "Normal people" or if the "Mutants" should attack.
Basic courses: This include subjects like math, science, english and such, seeing as some students do wind up entering the school at quite a young age. (these arnt all that important and probably won't be rping in these classes in the story.)

Clubs: This school of course has different clubs/teams like baseball, football, also if you want to start a club thats not already around just take it up with the headmaster or headmistress.

Edit:also i had trouble coming up with a way to include giyari's idea of how the scientists experiment infected the population, so i could use some help with that......if not im sticking with the orginal idea.

Iiiiii remember this. And we're going to go through the exact same thing

What kind of name is "normal People" for an antagonist organization?

Concept-wise, the thing is kinda cool, like a cross between X-Men and Harry Potter.

But seriously. Normal People.

If it were me, I'd focus a bit less on the school and moreso on the "eradication of the mutant children" part.

Jeez, certain doom comes around every 100 years? That's actually a short amount of time even by human standards. It's only like two generations max. It's even more of a ridiculously short amount of time if you plan on including long-lived races/individuals.

Also, the premise of a newborn child eating anything other than breast milk or baby formula makes it seem pretty slim chances that anyone would get powers to begin with, since you said that the super-liquid is in the city's water supply.

I agree with Eylios about the names for the groups. Definitely don't want to stick with "Normal People" and "Mutants." "School for the Gifted" in and of itself isn't bad, it's just not descriptive in any way, and is used pretty frequently by people making magic-school RPs.

See the bolded parts? It seems as though two big chunks of time have passed. I would guess it would take maybe 4+ generations for the initially "infected" babies to grow and have children of their own, who I'm assuming also have powers, those kids to grow up, and so on for a population to be considered "large." And by your lore, another 100 years have passed, so some new doomsday event should have been present already. Also, you say "around the world" - from one small vial in one city's infected water system? If you're thinking that they spread around the world because of natural breeding, than that would take hundreds of years to happen and - again - according to your lore, some horrible event would be on the horizon, 4 new heroes would show up, and so on.

It's neat idea you have here, but you need to do some serious rewriting of the core of the plot, and then work from there.

Oh, don't worry about drag0ntamer, he's tough. I could call him an complete b*****d, and all he'll do is stick is tongue at me.

I don't really take "Jeez" as seriously as some people, I forget. sweatdrop Also when I use "ridiculously," I was referring the time frame he had used, I wasn't describing the idea or him personally. Sorry if it came across that way.

Kk. Glad you got some help 3nodding

yes that was exactly what i was going for XP but ima go with giyari's idea because i like it better XD
