Hybrid Theory (Sleeping too)

(( Sorry guys it came out more serious than I thought. =/ ))

The Rise of a New Possibility

The power of science had been growing steadily over the course of the years, technology expanding, knowledge becoming almost limitless. In the year 3008, scientists of this time are booming. What would take years to uncover, they were somehow now revealing secrets in a fourth of the time: of human cells, DNA, hormones, and most of all, the brain.

The only thing that was going wrong? They were quickly running out of "lab rats." They had been using prisoners, criminals sentenced to life in prison, or death. Since the increase of technology and crime fighting enhancements, crime rates have dropped drastically, so the flow of subjects stopped abruptly. They needed something else.

They put out ads to the poor, to the sick and to the suffering. Hoping the promise of a hefty amount of money would talk them into giving up their children. It started to work, though there weren't as many subjects as before. They worked more carefully, calculating every cost and success and failure. And finally they hit what they had been searching for. The secret was in the children!

The scientisst were looking for a way in enhance the human mind, and expand the human possibilities that kept them tied down for so long. And they found it. They didn't know how or why it happened but it did. And the only successes that came out was a small group of children and teens.

They chipped them with trackers and kept them caged so they could experiment and examine how they lived with their new "improvements", hoping to release their new created hybrids to the world one day. But first they would have to gain control.

Excerpt from a young child's diary:

We are told we are the hope of a new world, and we are the hope of new possibility, though it's hell to go through for us. We have been poked and pried open, our wounds somehow healing so quickly. Some of the others find we have powers beyond a normal human mind. Its scary, if we think about it, but we try not too. We're all starving, barely getting food from these men and women that are responsible for doing this to us. Sometimes we are awoken from the sound of a young child, even sometimes the older kids, screaming in terror and horror, and we hear metal against metal, bones breaking, skin tearing, but they always came out in one piece, not even a scratch on their surface. What are we here for? Why did they do this to us? I already knew that tomorrow night... It was my turn.

((this should have given you a basis of the basic powers you possess as a hybrid))  

[Rayne Engel]

So I know its really depressing so far, but our characters are powerful beings! You should know the drill of being in a cage, you want to get out, and stay out. So lets do this.


Rules: are as every other roleplay, I'm assuming everyone knows them by now.

Skeletons: You can play as a scientist (evil) or a hybrid (majority are good). I'm looking for more hybrids than scientists. I mainly made the Ring Leader since she is the one pulling the strings. Who your character is will all be told simply by their description. If you do make a scientist, under the "special abilities" just put "N/A"

First to die from a incurable illness was their mother. Their father, who often was away on business, left them in the care of their older sister and younger brother. He died of a heart attack when on leave from work some years later. After that, their sister was found to have the same illness of their mother, and passed away as well. Alone with their younger sibling, Sköll and Hati supported the trio until they were taken away from him by the scientists, half a year away from owning the house that they'd grown up in. Someone they describe as "a calm grey lady who wasn't a scientist" claimed their brother into custody before the scientists as they were drugged into unconsciousness, and as they grew up they took solace in the fact that he was safe.

Picture/Description: Ryan

3.Username: Strifer Garuwashi
Character Name: Adam "The Mad Scientist" Funk
Gender: Male
Age: 38
Bio: He was a member of the team since the beginning, and supported neither side in the Ring Leader's vow for her position. He was too focused on his project. Once it was learned that they could enhance the intelligence of another being safely, Adam put the ability within himself. There were no side effects other than his eyes changing color to a bright, almost glowing orange color. Because of the test upon himself the other scientists have dubbed him "The Mad Scientist", but the nickname does not get to him. In fact because of his enhancement many of his ideas for keeping the hybrids in their place have developed into prototypes.
Special ability: Super Intelligence
Other: His personality changed drastically with his enhancement, and he analyzes every situation in a logical manner.
Picture/Description: He has short brown hair, bright orange eyes, and tanned skin. His white lab coat is made of a material that cannot be pierced, but it does not stop the impact of blows. He usually wears casual business wear under his lab coat, black slacks, black dress shoes, and a white collared button up shirt. The only thing out of place is that he wears no tie, and the top button on his shirt is always undone. He also has glasses that do not effect his vision. Before the experiment he needed them, but now his eyesight adjusts, whether he is wearing them or not, to perfect vision. Adam wears them to remind himself of who he was, the one illogical statement in his logical world.

The Ring Leader propped her feet up on her desk while she continued to stare intently at her computer screen. She watched the clean up from a failed experiment. Amy was the young girl's name, and she used to have a full set of blond curls and baby blue eyes. She was beautiful, the woman thought to herself. She clenched her fist in frustration at another failure. She quickly changed the channel on the recorder, and began admiring those children that did make it. They were still gorgeous even after all the torment they had been through. The woman zoomed on each of their faces, reading their emotions and feelings. She was sure they didn't enjoy their cages. "Maybe once I can trust them... I can get them rooms made..." She let her feet fall to the floor and then she stood and began pacing. She couldn't wait for what she had planned for them. They had a big future ahead of them. She smiled wickedly. "Yes, I know just how to use them."  

[Strider Wolfheart]

Alpha awoke from his sleep, sitting legs crossed in the corner like he usually did. He didn't need bedding to sleep, it made him feel vulnerable. They liked to bet you in the bed, at least in the poition he slept in he had some defense of his body, even as he slept. Not that he would be asleep when they came any way, his mind was constantly active. He knew of two ways to escape from his cage, neither would turn out good for him in the end. There were five ways for him to defend himself from the ones who would come in the night, again none of which would turn out very well for him. He did have a tendency to break a few of their limbs accidentally at times, his telekenetic powers unstable when faced with extreme pain and stress. Maybe one of these days i'll just crush all their heads and be done with it. No, too messy and they'd just execute me afterwards. Alpha sighed and stood, pressing his glasses up on his nose and grabbing the bar at the top of the cage, pulling himself up, keeping his body in shape, this was no place to be weak.  

[Strifer Garuwashi]

Wrex awoke suddenly from his slumber, nearly every muscle in his body clenched. After a moment they relaxed, and he lift the hat upon his head so that it no longer covered his eyes. He slowly sat up and moved his legs to that he was now in a sitting position on his bed, his eyes locked on the door. Soon they would come. The nurses, the doctors, and the other patients were the only other people he could remember coming in to contact with. No. They must know what I'm thinking. He paused himself mid-thought. Wrex wasn't quite sure if they could read his mind or not, but he didn't want to risk it. I suppose if they had already read my thoughts they would have killed me. Or perhaps the problem is that they can't. This thought process continued to evolve into deeper thoughts on the human mind as a whole, but the result was essentially a stalling mental tactic. If they were able to see his thoughts, they would get nothing worth noting.

Perhaps the others would keep themselves in physical shape, or have some form of mental game to play, but Wrex was far beyond that. His newest, hidden talent made up for many forms of physical activity, and ever since one particular incident he was allowed no books, or any form of entertainment. They were even forced to change the material of which the cages were made. Wrex's yellow eyes stay locked on the door to his cage as he thought, and waited. The sounds of the others waking left no impression on his ears.  

[Rayne Engel]

Evening was crouched and looking out into what others would think of as darkness. Ever since the experiment that changed her vision happened, she had begun to think of herself as a cat. She hadn't slept all night, in fear the doctors would come and tak her in sleep. She hadn't slept for days because of this fear, resulting in heavy dark rings under her eyes and fatigue. She yawned and fell back on her bottom, letting her legs stretch out in front of her. She would have to try to get away. She examined the surroundings past the iron bars that held her prisoner and wished for the opportunity to escape. She overheard the doctors talking of Others like her. Maybe there was a way.

Kiff let out a heavy sigh and tried to pinch himself awake. He felt nothing and so he squeezed his fingertips harder together. Nothing more happened than a tingle. He grunted in frustation and stood to pace his cell. Kiff wondered what was in store for him today. The doctors have done so much to him to see just how far they can go before he yelps in the slightest bit of pain. By that point he wouldn't want to describe what they had done. He rubbed his forehead. If only he could make time go by faster. That would be much more useful to his current situation. There was no use to thinking about what has happened. It was time to move towards the future. He couldn't help but think of his sister. If only time moved slower then...  

[Strider Wolfheart]

Alpha let himself down with a huff. He did three more pull-ups every week. He could moniter the day of the week based on the movements of the guards. They came once every week on Sunday between the times of 10pm and 12am, based on what he would over hear. The guard watching his group of cells was shifted every 2 hours according to his counting of time, being only off by at least ten seconds, thirty milliseconds, it was good enough for him. Right now it was 4am on Wednesday give or take a few seconds or minutes. Alpha wished he could speak to the others in the cell block but they were seperated by concrete walls thick enough to stop a missle attack and the guards would scold you for trying to communicate through the bars. He did know that the one next to him in the block was a guy, also that he could manipulate metal, his bars being changed one evening as everyone slept. Now they were made of some sort of carbon fiber weaed into thick bars, three times the strength of the normal bars. If only he could communicate with him he could make an escape plan. But then it hit him, how to communicate, but not now. He would wait until it was time for the lights to go out. Super intelligence has so many useful characteristics. Now wasn't the time to congrajulate himself though, he had to think of a way for the other to communicate back.

Jamie stared at the ceiling for a while, after she had woken up from the most recent of nightmares, she was sure she knew at least half of the faces this time, she let out a long sigh and sat up slowly, everything hurt, she blinked a few times after she yawned to get the tears of yawning away, she wondered if she would be able to go out soon, she hoped so. So to pass the time she laid back down and closed her eyes, picking out each and every face that had been in her dreams this time, trying to remember...  

[Ty Gwynnia]

((You've played 'The World Ends With You'?))

Sköll and Hati had not slept. Despite the lack of virtually everything in the room, and the fact that their shared cage stood in the middle of the bare expanse, the absence of a bed didn't bother either of the twins. They had each other, and when the two of them were at least in the range of sight, that was more than enough. Especially for the guards and doctors. The two had made a game to see how long it would take for their current jailer to barge into the room.

"I'm telling you, a howler monkey this time. It has the highest screech and you know how Frank hates that noise." Sköll said, rolling around in midair before dropping back to meet the metal bottom of their quarters. His hold on telekinesis was growing stronger everyday, but he still wasn't able to float for too long. "Trust me, he has ear plugs for the monkey screech," Hati replied to his brother, blinking at him although he was sitting crouched and invisible in the corner. "Plus I know something higher. I bet you the next cruddy meal that it is." "Okay, let's see it then." Sköll bared his teeth in a grin before screeching, and then covering his ears.

Predictably, the guard that day (who was Frank, ironically enough) stalked in, the taser he held already crackling with electricity. His face was livid. "Hey, quit that now!" he roared, brandishing it wildly. "You brats are always making noise and I'm--" He stopped mid-sentence as Hati screeched this time, the high-pitched dolphin call busting the man's eardrums and shattering the lights in the room. In the darkness, there was a dragging sound, a thump, a pained yell as the taser's electricity lit the dark in flashes, and a heavy thud. The door of the room opened and the twins pupils widened behind their glasses in hostility and at the flashlights' brightness from the other guards who quickly retrieved Frank's unmoving body, took the stolen taser away from Hati, and replaced the lightbulbs before leaving. "...Can I at least have the crust?"

Ryan yawned, walking absently through the halls with a mug of steaming hot coffee. After waking up from a nap in his office that had earned him stares from the other scientists, he was pleased to find that his coffee maker was still reliable as ever. He blew on the scalding drink to cool it, although it still fogged up his own glasses. He took them off, only needing them to read, and slipped them into a pocket as he knocked politely on a door. "Oh, madam Ring Leader?" He called jovially. "What's the schedule for fun today?"  

[RavenStar13Forever]

Christopher sat with his back against his "Wall" of the cage, so to speak, he stared at the other wall, an small flame burst on his hand and went out, not harming him in the slightest he yawned loudly and glared at his hand it bursting it to flame again his temper giving a slight flare, but it quickly went away. He leaned his head back, allowing his eyes to close, pondering what would happen to him next...  

[Rayne Engel]

(( sorry for the essay post. I thought I might provide the start of the excitement. =D ))

Evening gasped when a doctor barged in, switching the lights on their brightest setting suddenly. She knew this wasn't good and the lights quickly gave her a headache and made her temporarily blind. She struggled to her feet, shielding her eyes as she heard the man speak "Time to check your vitals. You seem to always comply and behave." and the chains rattle. Under his breath she thought he said "I know its the fear... Its adorable to see your fear." Her heart began to race at those words as he grabbed her arms. She knew what would happen after her vital check, she knew. She could make out forms by now, and quickly elbowed his gut. In a split second she was turned around, her knee hitting his groin full force and her fist going across what felt like his ear. She couldn't tell. Evening stumbled to the door, already half way there when she heard his body fall. Agility came with its benefits, but the way her heart began to beat irregularly and the blood was pumping so fast in her veins it hurt. She had never used this power before this and so she didn't know how to control it. She slammed into the wall of the narrow hallway, pain jolting through her, but it didn't slow her down. She was thankful for the dimly lit hallways, and she began to frantically checked all the locked doors as she ran down the hall. Her breath stopped when the alarms went off, the hallways flooded with bright, flashing red lights, which again left her sensitive eyes partially blinded.

Kiff had occupied himself with pacing what little area he had, and punching the bars every time he came up next to a wall of the cage. Maybe one day the bars would bend and break from the consistency of the hits daily. "Most likely not." He mumbled as a doctor and two guards came into his room. They went to a desk on the small side of the room, and the doctor sat and took out paper and began writing. "Here we go again, huh, doc?" Kiff knew this one personally. He broke the man's arm three years ago. They were buddies. The doctor stayed silent, but had a playful smile. It broke when the alarms began buzzing and the room was covered in red. The guards quickly ran out of the room, leaving the doctor helpless... But again what harm could Kiff do locked up. He simply sighed at the loss of a wonderful opportunity.  

[Strifer Garuwashi]

((I most certainly have. I also enjoyed it! You're so zetta-slow on the realization. biggrin ))

Wrex continued to wait patiently for the doctors. He knew the doctors would come for him last. He was the oldest test subject. They thought they knew him the best, but they were wrong. As his room was filled with sirens a very slow smile filled his lips. He stood in a very calm manner and approached the door of his cage, the special material feeling numb to his power of metal manipulation, but it wasn't immune to strength. Sure it was strong as metal, but Wrex was certain he could rip it from it's hinges no problem. He gripped the cage entrance on two sides, and with a strong pull, and a grunt the door was inside the cage with him. He tossed it aside and walked calmly to the door of the room, which he kicked down.

It flew into the hallway, which was lit only by the sirens, the red lights spinning and giving the sense of a strobe light. The moment he was out of his room Wrex could feel it. He could feel the metal again. It was a part of him, an extension of his body. He didn't know what it was the walls were made of, but he knew it suppressed his powers, because it felt like he lost a limb every time he was inside. "Oh metal, my sweet. How I've missed you." He stretched out his arms and wiggled his fingers, the tingling sensation of his connection with metal sparking to life. Specifically the metal in the five doors still standing near him. He took in a slow breath then pulls his hands in quickly, the metal doors near him collapsing in upon themselves as easily as one would crush a paper cup. "Hahaha!" The laugh escaped him in a quick bark. It felt good for Wrex to use his first power once again. His strongest power. He may not be the strongest one in here, but he was the most bold. He had nothing to lose. Nothing he could remember.  

[RavenStar13Forever]

Christopher stood quickly at the sound of the alarms, What's going on out there? he wondered. He listened for foot steps, he heard none so he went to the back of his cage and running as fast as he could he kicked his door outwards, it buckled and crashed into the across wall. Chris grinned, it quickly faded as he cautiously peered around the door, he didn't see anyone so he snuck down the hallway on silent feet, wondering who he would encounter first.
