The Omega Generation- Superpower RP
Alright folks, I've decided to try my hand at one of these, and this is my very first RP, so just bear with me. And a big thanks to AgentBJ09 for helping me GM this thing, I don't think I could do it by myself.
The RP is about super-powered beings, based off some of my favorite TV shows and comic books, though I can guarantee that this RP will be different than the superpower RPs before it.
And that's pretty much it. Have fun everyone!
EDIT: Restructured the Power Level list to make it less confusing. I'd like to give thanks to Hairminator for pointing out the problem, and to AgentBJ09 for restructuring the Power Levels for me.

By the early-mid 21st Century, mankind has seemingly reached the pinnacle of technological advancement. Society had been raised to a high level of standards that was previously unheard of. Humanity came together and celebrated in their unity.
However, when one is so far up, this only means there is a long way to fall.
January 1st, 2020, was the day when the world was changed forever, on a day now known to history as "The Omega Event". A mysterious energy wave of unknown origin swept over the entire planet, changing everything in its path.
During the Event, nearly 75% of the world's population was killed, whether due to the disasters in the wake of the fallout, or due to the stress placed on their bodies from transformation caused by the energy. All of the plant and animal life was affected, but a good percentage of it was transformed, becoming larger, more powerful and hostile, and, in some cases, even more intelligent. As for the remainder of humanity, about half that number gained superhuman powers from the radiation. These people became known as "Omegas".
In the resulting chaos, many cities were laid to waste. In response to this, the government reacted swiftly, creating task forces to handle the situation. It took a long time, but in the end, peace was restored, at the cost of many personal freedoms. The lasting effects of the Omega Event was studied endlessly by the world's greatest minds, partially to try and figure out what caused it (without much success)? but mainly to find ways to control and contain those transformed by the energy.
In time, cities were rebuilt, but at the behest of big corporations, who saw fit to rebuild the cities the way they wanted to leaving sections of the big cities to rot under neglect and gang rule, while the upper class and the remnants of humanity sequestered themselves in their shining towers, looking down upon those they despised.
But now, 5 long years after the Omega Event, a ragtag bunch of super powered misfits will band together to face the cruel world around them, and unwittingly come across the very source of their strange abilities, and possibly even stopping another great disaster from taking place?

*Timeline of Important Events
-January 1st, 2020: The Omega Event hits the Earth, causing widespread destruction and mutations, and riots spring up almost immediately afterwards. Martial Law reigns over the world?s major cities, while smaller cities and many towns and villages across the globe are either totally destroyed or are taken over by super-powered gangs.
-March 5th, 2020: In China, chaos breaks out in Peking as a huge riot leads to much death and destruction.
-May 2020: The Middle East is ravaged after a series of escalating attacks by Omegas and humans alike on both sides rage out of control. The situation goes on for another year or so before beginning to slow down a bit.
-September 21st, 2020: The World Leaders meet to discuss the crisis, eventually deciding to abandon, and in some cases, even destroy the worst affected places.
-January 1st, 2021: After the so-called ?Year of Madness? work begins on rebuilding some of the damaged cities, despite the financial collapse, but not completely.
-February 20th, 2021: In the US, many laws are passed dealing with the super powered Omegas, but have to do with limiting their rights. Protests only lead to more violence.
-March 1st, 2021: The Department of Evolved Human Affairs is created in the states to handle Omega activity in the US, similar government groups are formed in other countries for the same purpose.
-October 3rd, 2021: An uprising attempt in Japan is put down by the government. By this point, Omegas have been drafted into the armies of various countries, but in segregated groups.
-April 2nd, 2022: A huge explosion rocks Moscow, but the source is unknown. Accounts are conflicting on whether it was an Omega's power that went out of control or a terrorist's bomb,or something else.
-September 9th, 2023: Upper New York City is finished with it?s renovations. The people living there celebrate, while the people in the Lower part of the city are left to suffer.
-January 1st 2025: The 5th Anniversary of The Omega Event is celebrated, but without much interest.
-June 20th, 2025: Summer in NYC, and unbeknownst to anyone, another great crisis is in it?s beginning stages?
*Nature
-Much of the plant and animal life on Earth was affected by the Omega Event, becoming more powerful and even intelligent, now essentially becoming a threat to humanity. Specialized government groups were formed in order to handle them, either capturing the evolved animals and transporting them to special places of study, or outright exterminate them, depending on the threat level. However, some Omega Life Forms (as they are known) have eluded capture. In the rebuilt cities, the more powerful Omega Life Forms have been removed from the city or dumped into the lower parts of the city, depending on the size and ferocity of the creature. And although increased intelligence has been a noted factor, there have been no signs of any human-level Omega Life Forms with human-level intelligence?so far.
*Power Levels- the level of power an Omega has, going from S to D (PC?s can't be S-Class)
(From Class levels A to D, PC's can have 1 or 2 powers, but each must follow the outlined main rules of each rank. Also, you must choose a class based on your overall power level, not rank each individualy.)
S-class - Someone who has total control of their powers and is capable of using them without restriction. Have up to three main powers.
A-class - Someone who has total control over their powers, but has a minor restriction of use. I.E., if something temporarily restricts the use of that power.
B-class - Someone who has control over their powers, but has a greater restriction placed on them. I.E., someone must use two hands instead of one to use their powers, or if disabled in some way is unable to use them.
C-class - Someone who has powers, but is not in full control of them and is severly restricted by some means. I.E., that person can control fire, but get them near a large gust and they're useless.
D-class - Someone whose powers can be fully disabled by multiple means, or who has little to no control over them. I.E., someone has the power to control wind, but that power flares up at random times, or becomes null when they're in water, underground, or unable to see.

1: NO GODMODING. I mean it. No one likes Godmoders, so please keep your abilities low key and nothing the level of say, Dr. Manhattan.
2: Respect the other players, for a less hostile game environment. We?ll all be happier that way.
3: No two people can have the same powers. That would be too confusing. Also, they must be sensible, and not some random bunch of abilities.
4: If you must drop out for whatever reason, please notify ahead of time. No one will think lesser of you.
5: Have fun!
