The future is never as pretty as we thought. Decay colors the city far too rapidly as the crevices of it paint themselves with decadence.The fight over the throne descends, triggered by one anomaly. MUTATION. 2045, and the war is nowhere near the ending—it’s just THE BEGINNING. MOBILE NAVIGATION
In the known world, humans have believed they existed alone for the last centuries without question; unfazed by the tales of those vanished without a trace. The truth — the past has all but been forgotten, with only a select few aware of the world as it truly exists and the beings that share it with them. Controlled chaos rules the lives of those unfortunate enough to learn the secret; to know is to risk your life.

▶ CONFIGURING STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES…
telekinesis (n.): the ability to manipulate matter and objects with the sole power of one’s mind. gayoon has been distinctly aware of her gift for as long as she can remember, but it’s taken her entire life to hone the skills to what they are today.
( strengths )
telekinetic basics (binding, levitation, push/pull, grip, compression) are second-nature
can manipulate an object’s “inner workings” (unlocking doors or vaults, manipulating security cameras and screens, etc.)
can manipulate motor-skills of a person to an extent (binding them in place, forcing them to walk or behave a certain way)
can enhance her strength / physical condition (short-term)
can use destructive aspects of her power (telekinetic blast, psionic explosions)
capable of flight (extension of levitation)
( limitations )
the heavier the mass of an object, the harder it is for her to control (people are easier to throw than cars)
an individual with exceptionally strong mentality/willpower is harder to control than those who are unsuspecting or emotionally unprepared
cannot (yet) manipulate her age or appearance through matter/cell manipulation
damage from the destructive nature of her gift is tougher to predict
control is entirely based on level of focus and mental/emotional state
migraines are included in the package deal

The Moon gave birth to you, ma chérie, bestowing an untouched ivory soul and bones sculpted from icy marble. Her moonbeams protect you from the shadows, shrouding you in a haze of white silk as soft and light and cold as fresh snow. You have never known true warmth, but at least she has kept you company and that is comforting enough. She teaches you her ways: rising and falling, ebbing and flowing, transitioning through darker phases with grace fit for a queen. She controls the tides for you, guiding you away from the magnetic pull of the bottomless ocean and the clutches of heavy grains of gold that make bitter shelter between your tiny toes. Soon, you too are a master at turning the tide, almost as well as she.
But you cannot call the Côte d’Azur your home forever, ma chérie. You cannot keep binding the waves mid-crash and creating tide pools at dusk on mere whim. It goes against nature and you know how much humans are fond of the natural order. It shouldn’t come as a surprise then that your very existence begets fear and hatred, striking darkness into the hearts of man and letting it fester like a sore. The night nips at your heels closer than ever before and you can feel his hot breath on your ear. You are being chased by a monster, yet society has the audacity to label you as one.
When they see the globe in your father’s office hover in the air, everything turns on its head. The beast pulls you behind the thick curtains of the windows while the witch snatches the whole world from you faster than you can blink. She urgently presses her cold mouth to the tips of your rosy fingers, her thin lips drawn together into an even thinner curve in a silent plea for you to stop. It is by far the most insincere, wretched smile you ever have the displeasure of witnessing and chills crawl down your spine. They say you were born to stir trouble, ma chérie. Gayoon, the child of nightmares, a withering flower with black magic running through her black veins and ebony eyes that swallowed the universe. It’s as though they’re blind to the purity mirrored on your milky skin, only focusing on the night reflected in your raven hair. When you stare at yourself, you search your wide eyes for flecks of glittering stars or gleaming hope. Because horror is all you ever see in theirs.
South Korea’s shores are colder than anything you’ve ever felt, its darkened waters lapping around your ankles and shocking you back to the freezing negligence of childhood. Even the moon shies away from you here, often hidden behind thick clouds of prejudice and hysteria. Instead you seek some state of solace in the bath tub under harsh fluorescent lights, remaining until the warm waters run cold and forgotten. You think back on the ghosts you left behind, wondering if your father still goes through a pack a day and if your mother still cries in the exact spot you last saw her in (collapsed in your broken doorway, the slab of mahogany blown off its hinges). Did she ever cry for you or was it always for herself? Although your pale skin is scrubbed red and raw, your soul is tarnished blacker than before, poisoned like the bloodied streets of Seoul with nothing left on Earth to bring it back to that resilient, brilliant white. More than a decade has passed since you fled France. After all that time, you come to call this new war zone home, in spite of your mother’s briny seaweed soup still lingering on your tongue eleven years later.
You are the daughter of Spring, ma chérie, soft and naive and oh-so-quickly dismissed in the haze of revolution. The whole city is crippled with the same fear you saw in your parents’ eyes, madly allowing ignorance to crush the so-called virtue of peace embedded in the very foundations of Korea. Strange, considering you came to this country to find some sort of peace with yourself, perhaps build on your ethnic and cultural history. (Coward.) You are never meant to be in a war, yet you learn to navigate and even embrace the chaos of a battlefield. They suddenly consider you valuable from the moment you can rain bullets on the enemy and obliterate chunks of buildings and flip tanks onto their sides. You are trained to kill from afar- to take the sanctity of life that you sought after for so long. You used to be the daughter of Spring, but the bitter Winter has made you a soldier in the war, a beautiful martyr drowning in blood. The moon looks different from under the surface, rippled and faded and no longer as pristine. What have you done? When will you realize you have betrayed yourself?
The pent up fury and injustice are the perfect motivators, wrapped like a cord around your blackened heart and squeezing in hopes that it will give. Only when you save a life do you snap out of your blind rage, just long enough to disentangle yourself from the rebels and go into hiding to sort yourself out. You are a living tragedy, chained to the corner of Irony Street and Isolation Avenue, the marble in your bones splintering from the pressure. You force yourself to call Seoul home because you have nowhere else to go, but in reality, all you’ve done is carve a home out of abandonment.
The moon may have given birth to you, ma chérie, but the night carried you off in his arms and turned you into un monstre.
▶ REVEALING PROMINENT TRAITS…
A classic INTJ, Gayoon is quite independent and tends to keep to herself or around people she’s familiar with. Given her past, she is weary of strangers and not particularly warm or kind at first, and can even be incredibly manipulative and sometimes even self-assured to a degree. It usually takes a couple of times to keep her attention. Unlike when she used to be an active rebel, she now literally gives no fucks in regards to the war and government, choosing to put herself and select friends and allies above the rest of society. It’s a dog-eat-dog world and her ambition and desire to stay alive has thus far proved reliable again and again. She can get pretty nosy and blunt when it suits her interests, but she’s also one hell of a good communicator and strategist with her level of practicality. Gayoon also spends a lot of time just thinking and reflecting on her life choices, which makes it never a good idea to leave her alone for long periods of time.
Hello! We’ve come to the first activity check, which, from now on, will be done on a regular basis every fortnight. We’re aware that things have been slow with the roleplay in general for the past week due to people going on a hiatus and whatnot, especially since it’s the end of the semester for some if not many, so we really appreciate those who stay. As to precede our very first event, we will be reopening the spots of those who have been inactive as to provide more opportunities for people to join in.
The following list is free to be roleplayed due to inactivity and leaving for personal reasons.
Hello and good morning, afternoon, or evening! We hope that you all have been having a good day. This is a short announcement to inform that the main will be on a short hiatus from today to this weekend, given that admins are currently occupied. We’ve noticed that things have been a bit slow around here, so we will come back at the end of this week with fresh minds to brainstorm for the roleplay and do an activity check to clean the inactive accounts. We understand that members have been busy with exams and whatnot, so please let us know if you need any hiatus during your busy week(s). Thank you and we’ll see you at the end of this week. c:
Hi so I had reserved Jo Boah, and the power I had reserved was Haemokinetic Constructs? A sub power of Blood manipulation! I just realized that your Taeyeon has that ability, well the main ability? Is it still alright for me to continue to use it? Because I can change my own ability, but I think I'd need an extension if I do. I know you guys had mentioned that it's alright to do so in a FAQ? But it doesn't sit right with me if Taeyeon isn't comfortable with it, so I did want to ask! Sorry! ;;
Hello darling! We allow people to have sub-powers of already existing powers in the directory, however though, if it really doesn’t sit well with you I’d advice you to go and ask Taeyeon herself, she might be the only person to truly be capable of giving an answer to this question. However, if it still doesn’t sit right with you, we’re always open to have you change your power on the reservation!

Fay can also grow wings, a pointed tail and nails and wings. This is apart of her form, her true form is a hideous monster and something she doesn’t turn into often.
Her faults mainly lie in the fact as if she doesn’t get energy from others, she can die. Her body starts to slow down and she lose the ’beauty’ she has. Since her powers mirror that of a demon, any one with angelic powers or any other holy power can over throw her. She can’t feed to much or her body will not be able to handle it. Her kiss, can only last up to a few hours. If her half-form or true form is injured she won’t be able to use it for days.

▶ LOADING DATA ON HISTORY…
Park Yeeun was born in Spain too, two mutant hating parent’s. They suspected nothing wrong with their daughter. And why would they? At a young age she was tested and declared a genius with an IQ of 140. She was cold and distant finding people to slow for her, she never had many friends. They moved to Korean when she turned ten years old. Still her powers were nothing to be seen. She lived a mostly happy life, as happy as she could get with Bible thumping parent’s, they would always yell about how mutants were nothing but a problem that needed to be gotten rid of. She grew to share the idea, saying if it ever happened to her, she’d kill herself.
High school was hard, she didn’t want to skip grades ahead but she’d often be labeled a trouble child because she refused to do the work giving to her, being able to solve it with just one look. She also tried to date a lot but nothing worked, she was always seen as cold and un-caring because she was, her care for people only lasted about 20% and she only had one true friend. This person she would give her life for. It was when she turned sixteen that her power first appeared, she had a craving, for days she had stomach pains, and her parent’s didn’t know what was wrong, it wasn’t until she saw a cute boy she liked, she had thought about him and suddenly she was in dream, there she took her first hit and became addicted.
She didn’t tell her parent’s. Not because she was scared but because she knew it was the smart thing to do, she knew they’d turn her over without looking back. She started to go by ‘Fay’, she stayed out late and partied often. She’d meet up with other mutants and learn more, other things started to happen, she learned how to change into her true form, and grow her extra appendages, but it wasn’t enough. Finally when she turned eighteen she moved out and cut off all ties with her family. Enrolling in college, and picking up two jobs she made she was always around enough people to get her fix. She became on of the hidden, deep inside her she had a hate for what she was and she had a hate for other mutants, it wouldn’t leave her like a bitter taste in her mouth. Now she works as spy not to help others but because there is one thing she values above all else. Her life.

If there was every an ice princess it would be Fay, aside from her one friend she shows very little care for others. If she bumped you and fell, she’d keep walking. If you had a problem with her she’d flick you away as if you were nothing more then a spec of dirt. If you’re dingy, its good to get out of her presence. When she looks at herself she finds no redeeming quality about her, all she has is her brains. But when she’s on the hunt, she’s sexy and seductive, she has a laugh that would make you fall in love. She knows just how title her head in the right way, she knows how bring someone to the point of no return. Oddly, animals her weakness and she loves the small creatures. Having a craving for sweets and sex, she’s the definition of a deviant and she loves it. Sometimes people tell her to become a bit more human but how does one do that when they’re idea of a demon?

Unrecorded status includes their affiliation as a(n) 「 HIDDEN 」 and blessed with the power of 「LEVEL S BLOOD MANIPULATION 」. End of identification.
▶ CONFIGURING STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES…
Taeyeon was given a gift. blood manipulation which entails the ability to control & manipulate blood within the body of others. Which lets her bend, control & paralyze others with the use of their most valuable aspects about the living shells of animals, humans and every other creature. their blood. Taeyeon has reached her peak level. Originally Blood Manipulation is connected with Water Manipulation but there is a wide enough difference for it be casted as it’s stand alone ability. Hydrokinetically taking hold of and manipulate the various fluids within an organism’s body.This technique of manipulation is deemed one of the darkest, most powerful and most feared of all the techniques of manipulation as it can affect the victim’s mental state. It’s highly dangerous who has unlocked all of the manipulations secrets.
STRENGTHS.
Blood Marionette - Taeyeon can use the organism’s blood to control the motor functions of others against their will as if they were a marionette. This is Taeyeon’s strongest offensive ability which she can use in close combat and long ranged attacks. Taeyeon’s technique, form and style uncannily resemble how a puppeteer controls a marionette. With various uses of their arms with a flowing motion with an occasion of a more rigid stance in a quick attack to control the organism before them.
Blood Absorption - Taeyeon is able to suck the blood out of others through physical contact, which can be used offensively or for regenerative purposes. Unlike Blood Consumption, this ability can be induced by simply coming into contact with a organism that has blood. Taeyeon only uses this for regenerative purposes only and can only absorb blood from humans or mutants..
Blood Boiling - can make blood temperature increase to boiling point. Meaning. Taeyeon will boil their blood until they have a heart attack due to the heart’s inability to keep the pace up to pumping and circulate the blood; which ends up breaking their veins.
LIMITATIONS.
When using Blood Marionette Taeyeon is limited to type of living organism blood she can use. She can only attack humans and mutants. not animals. Taeyeon may damage their victim’s cardiovascular system to the point of death if they aren’t careful.
When using Blood Absorption she may need to be in direct skin-to-skin contact. Absorption of blood may not make the user stronger. She is only able to extract 10% of the others blood and needs to expel the blood while absorbing in order to continue.
When using Blood Boiling If an opponent has no functional organs or active blood in their body or a heart this will be ineffective attack. to activate this attack Taeyeon has to be in close contact with the opponent or victim but can only be activated either in certain areas of the body. The most effective is close contact to the heart.

On March the 9th, A woman gives birth to two twin girls in the privacy of her own home — rather, the home of her abusive husband. Born first was Kim ‘Crimson’ Taeyeon, weighing an even 8 pounds and arrived approximately around the witching hour. She was born with crimson-red hair and hazel eyes that stare determinedly at anything in her path, tiny fists clenched as if she was was ready to fight the oppressed world, she didn’t scream when she came out of the warmth of her mothers womb, she merely cooed and placed her tiny mouth to suckle her mother’s breast for more strength. Another hardy push for her dear mother her sister was born with the standard oriental traits that her mother was thankful to see. Ever since her mother gave birth to her she was forever trying to be accepted as the normal one.
Speed to six years, and Taeyeon is a sickly child, far too weak to interact with the other children in the playground— and more often than not she’s sent home crying thanks to the bullying. But it’s hard not to sob when the others and even the teacher calls you freak and you can’t help but make the teacher become paralyzed. — it’s a horrendous cycle, eventually she was removed from school and took her mother look normal in the eyes of the other mothers she was hidden from the small village of Mokpo, Jeonju.
Hitting double digits in age, Taeyeon kills for the first time, it was unintentional she was over emotional and she was in love, they both were she killed her first love. it was not her fault. After that her mother made an agreement with the government for her to be taken out of her hands. they agreed and a large amount of money and tasteless words were exchanged. Experimented on for over six years or maybe less she couldn’t remember how long she was in there but she knew she had to escape it was only a matter of time. Nineteen years old and she was a free woman. A new identity, freedom and able to mingle within the norms of society.
Now twenty six years old and she hasn’t changed one bit at all. Keeping herself hidden with the human and pretending to be the typical straight A asian student.
At night she enjoys leaving lifeless bodies left to rot on the street. who could think such a brooding asian artist could be responsible with such acts.
▶ REVEALING PROMINENT TRAITS…
- irrational, manipulative, introvert, sadistic
+ enchanting, witty, loyal, intelligent.
It takes a strong and open minded person to understand Taeyeon. All in all she does not care about anyone, unless they harmed or being treated unfairly but this doesn’t mean she wants to be your friend. Taeyeon is known to be highly blunt usually not taking others feelings into consideration she is insensitive. Taeyeon is easily irritable, especially about her looks, cursing openly towards people when things don’t go as she’d planned.
Nonetheless she does respect most of her elders. Taeyeon is a girl no one actually wants to know. This stupid kid that sits at the back of the class not giving a crap about the lesson but knows everything, her attention span is short and she struggles to keep herself from an inevitable boredom with anything, or anyone, she does after a short amount of time or even passes it as an excuse. Taeyeon is more of an observer, she prefers to listen and watch, rather than express her own self She’s sarcastic.

Reactive adaptation (n.): the ability to develop adaptions, powers, or skills in response to immediate threats.
Woobin’ mutation gifted him the ability to instantly develop specific adaptions and powers for dealing with direct threats upon him, as they correlate by type. Due to him being at risk of being hunted by the government almost daily and occasionally being chased by the group with their guns blazing, Woobin would instantly develop enhanced speed to avoid any gun shots. Being a level A mutant, there were many powers he had, that was discovered along the way. When being exposed to flames, Woobin instantly develops fireproof skin immediately after. Even enhanced strength when being attacked with greater numbers. Which had been proven on numerous occasions. There were many more that Woobin had managed to discover, as well as elasticity to fit through small openings or teleportation from confronting a larger force compared to himself.
These adaptions and powers were mostly categorized as more physical, meaning Woobin wouldn’t be too safe around mutants with psychological, and mental powers. Though it depended on how intelligent he could become, and most of the time, it could be avoided. Of course, Woobin wouldn’t always be the superhero, as some adaptions may be too much for him to handle, especially regarding his physical strengths. Sadly, the abilities that Woobin had managed to gain from experience, he does not get to keep them as they disappear within a few hours, around two to three hours at most. Ultimately, his powers can only work in response to immediate threats against him or another person. Therefore, the adaptions and powers will not activate for completely different situations.
▶ LOADING DATA ON HISTORY…
Kim Woobin was never met his real parents, knowing they had abandoned him once he was born. He never knew the exact reason, but he wasn’t one for dwelling in the past. But once he lived around the orphanage until he hit the age of five, Woobin was adopted by his adoptive parents. A mother who stayed at home, being forced to deal with him when he acted out, and a father whose been caught up in his own work. Though from a young age, the old man had always kept it in secrecy of what exactly he was working on, even how important it had been. Woobin lived most of his childhood enduring the contradicting principles of adoptive father, whose head was wrapped up in his own ideas. The man was apart of the law enforcement way before his mutation decided to reveal itself.
Whether it was just an imaginative story, or the honest truth that he was hearing, it was all fascinating to him as a boy. Though he wasn’t exactly sure if he believed it all. That monsters, much more frightening than the ones under your bed, co-existed with them. Though it seemed like the man knew more than he lead on, which became much more clear once he got older, noticing the strange change in his own DNA. Living in the midst of possible turmoil and chaos, Woobin found himself much more tempted to rush into danger once he found himself somehow in the middle of it.
With his own keen eyes, his father also took note of this after months and eventually, the situation turned out to be him attempting to force Woobin into the facility for hours and hours of tests. Followed by his instincts to fight back against his father, Woobin used his full strengths to escape from his father’ grasps, which took a small amount of struggle. But succeeded nonetheless. And right after that, Woobin managed to run away from home a day later.
Due to Woobin’ carelessness of who would find out about him or who didn’t, he found himself being chased by the law enforcement who attempted to pursue him. Gunshots fired, aimed at his feet as Woobin ran for his life and with his long legs and slightly enhanced speed, it allowed him to avoid their gunshots swiftly without any problems. They didn’t know when to quit quite yet once he managed to lose the group that was right on his tail, as another group of enforcers blocked his path.
Woobin could either run, or he could choose to fight them all, which was against all odds now with around ten against one. But he was confident with his powers and he already had realized that he was putting himself at risk of being captured. Woobin didn’t particularly care, and soon enough, they’d eventually find their way back to him. While he had closed in on some of them, his strength had expectedly increased by the time Woobin was throwing the first punch. After several minutes of defending himself against them, they were finally found on the ground, under his feet. Not dead, but conscious as he managed to flee after that while Woobin had the chance.
To this day, Woobin vowed to join the rebellion against the government, whom viewed them all as a monstrosity. But he won’t lie and say that he didn’t bother him. Even still haven’t expressed any sort of affection towards his adoptive parents other than frustration and disrespect like he always had. But there was always something that told him that his father, wasn’t completely done with him yet.
▶ REVEALING PROMINENT TRAITS…
There was no denying the fact that Kim Woobin was a womanizer, never missing his chances to flirt with a girl but still managing to keep things classy. That was the way he liked it to be after all. He was also incredibly honest, sometimes maybe a little too honest, with no regards for another person’ feelings. But people would never see the man being entirely open about his real, true feelings and struggles.
Though Woobin was capable of being protective and showing his softer side, in his own way, of course. Kim Woobin, even as a child was rather troublesome, causing difficulty for his adoptive parents and those around him. He never considered paying any respect towards his parents, simply because, well… they weren’t his real ones. To this day, Woobin was still the same and he knew that his father was still in search for him.
