What if one day you woke up...
... and everything changed, for better or for worse,...

That's what happened to these 10 people. Ordinary people discovering extraordinary abilites. The choice to use these abilities for good or evil rests on the possessor.

Heroes is a serial saga about people all over the world discovering that they have superpowers and trying to deal with how this change affects their lives. Not only are they discovering what having these abilities mean to them but also the larger picture of where their superpowers come from. Eventually their superpowers draw them together when they try to evade the series' antagonist who wants to harness their super-DNA for himself. Their ultimate destiny is nothing less than saving the world.

Our characters, from all diverse corners of the world, come to terms with their powers within the first few (if not the beginning) posts. Very few interaction will begin with the characters until the plot begins to thicken. Attempt to bring all characters to New York City for simpler interaction.
As the story progresses, your character can either choose to be a hero, someone who comits to saving the world, or a villain, seeking personal gain or revenge by unjustly using their powers. In-depth characters are a must for a successful roleplay. A 300+ word post is not necessary, but relevant and useful ones are mandatory. Absolutely no spam. All forum rules regarding role-play are required.
See my character biography for the format as well as my own character.
• Name: Rebecca Drosten
• Age: 21
• Gender: Female
• Superpower: Electrokinesis- the creation and manipulation of electrical currents and the ability to use electromagnetism
• Appearance: Becky
• Location: Grange, Ireland
• Employment: Bar Keeper/ Bass Guitarist
• Background: Becca Drosten grew up in an average Irish household. The baby of the family, Becca always had someone to look after her, calling her "Little Becky." At the age of 5, Becca's father left his family for unknown reasons. This sudden loss left Becca's mother distraught and confused, having no where to turn with her six children. Becca spent a majority of her preteen life through poverty, her mother jumping from job to job while her older brothers searched for any means of bringing money into the family, sometimes it being illegal.
As Becca grew older, she took on a liking for music. All through high school she studied how to play various instruments and was in a local garage band by 16. When she was finally old enough to graduate, she knew that her family could never afford to send her to college to study music. She would never ask to burden her mother with such a financial goal. So instead, Becca stayed near Grange and worked at a local bar as a bar tender and moonlighting as the bass guitarist and lead singer for the nightly band.
Becca lives by herself in a small cottage just off the coast of the Donegal Bay in the Atlantic Ocean.
• Personality: Becca is a very caring girl. She hardly ever asks for anything and always puts others before herself. Some might say that she cares too much.
Becca is a dreamer. Ever since she was little, she'd go on about becoming successful in music making and sending money back to her family. But her dreams were shattered after she realized that it couldn't be possible. It was unlikely that her band could make it to the top. Since the dreamer in her still holds on for a little longer, she often pictures herself going on a grand adventure, making a name for herself in the small little part of Ireland and making her family proud. But as a downfall, Becca is terribly afraid of change. So much, in fact, that she even considers herself somewhat of a coward despite how untrue that can be.
She is almost always seen smiling, never a sad face at the bar, and making friendly conversation with the locals with whom she'd grown up with. Becca always loves a good ale with a futball match, and loves to make everyone happy.
