The Night The World Changed Forever As Told By Ezekiel Brightstar March 3, 2021.......I remember the night it changed....... The whole world...... Altered forever in the blink of an eye, in fire.......It was frightening.Some guy, an Astronaumar of some kind, I guess, caught sight of a meteorite in the sky one night, through that enormous thing of a telescope..... It was large...... Amazingingly big..... About the size of the state of Arizona, if the stories were true. That was the beginning......
He, of course, called the government, telling them that.... a huge meteorite was heading for the earth. That, of course, caused quite an uproar...... NASA sent up a rocket, for some reason, to check it out. Personally, I think there was more to the story..... Boy. Was I right......
You see, NASA found something up there..... What, I can't even begin to guess. What I do know, however, as everyone now adays does, is what happened afterwords.....
....NASA brought back something..... something they wanted to keep hush-hush...... They should have known that that was impossible.... They managed to keep it covered for a surprising amount of time...... 4 years, in fact...... Then they released something..... a machine.....
...You see, this machine had the power in it to change the world..... the eliminate world hunger.... to eliminate all illnesses in the world..... we should've known that there was more too it......
.... As the world gathered to celebrate, the US government brought out the machine......... No guards were needed, of course......... Who would steal something that would benefit the whole world?......
.... The President himself turned on the machine, you know...... I was there when it happened...... 13 years old...... so innocent....... As the switch was thrown, all hell broke loose...........
...The sky turned black, and the moon looked as if dipped in blood..... the ground shook..... the world screamed, so it seemed....... but it was the people themselves that screamed....... the world seemed to become inverted...... men changed before my eyes..... became part animal..... part monster..... or wholy monster....... Fire erupted everywhere..... the ground heaved things into the air...... the wind screamed with the force of a hurricane....... and all manner of impossible things happened..... things out of dreams....... and things out of nightmare....
.... For...you see..... That night.....
....Magic entered the world......
....Everything after was a blur..... I remember things..... glimpses.... flashes of memory, I suppose.... men going wild...... beasts from fantasy.... myths....... dreams..... nightmares...... all roamed the earth....... The government tried to restore order...... but even they couldn't cope with what was happening....... no one could........
... Another 3 years passed before anything resembling order was formed.... the Government had restored order in the Chaotic Hell they had made of the world...... But what were they going to do with those remaining humans who had gained powers?......
The Government began rounding up those of us with powers.... taking us to labs to be..... tested...... like lab rats........ with no better living then dogs.... forced to train every day....... running hundreds of laps around the course...... lifting weights...... displaying our magic powers...... It was a life, i suppose....
Inside here.... I've heard rumors of something........ a people that have decided to rule this new world...... to take it by force.... kill all opposition.....
Some of the others are thinking of escape........ Their reasons are their own...... Me?.... what am I thinking of doing, you might ask...... Me..... I'm thinking of escape.....
.... But you know what?...... Out of everything..... after all the torture and training....... all I want to know is..... What caused all of this?....
The World has changed into a world of magic. Technology exists, but so does all manner of mythical creatures and things out of Fantasy. You may wish to find what caused this change, and to end it, if possible, and if that is your wish. The world has changed conpletely. The release of the magic has changed the face of the world in some places. Cities still exist, but wilderness has encroached on civilization. Will you survive this changed world? (PS Everyone is a member of the Lab Rats)

CLASSES (These are succeptible to change. Crossclasses are allowed if asked before creation of character.) Soldiers:These soldiers are like marines from hell. They use anything and everything as weapons. The do the tactical stuff, they usually lead in fighting. They are the front line soldiers. They are the ones that no how to take a weapon and use it well. They are military soldiers. Marksman:These are the guys that specialize in long range attacks. Usually the snipers of the group, they are good at what they do. they usually carry a knife, but everything else is a gun. They tend to be extremely intelegent when it comes to calcualtions of trajectory. Spy:These are the ninja's of the group. The Thieves. They sneak, hide, and pick locks. Tom Clancy's Splitercell kind of stuff. Medical Unit:These are the guys that fix the wounded. This also means, however, that they know the points on the human body which do the most damage on the body. Some even have the power to heal, though with a cost. When healing, it draws stamina from the healer, and the patient. Mostly from the patient. The patient will be hungry as hell afterwards, and depending on the amount of damage healed, might need to eat extremely well for the next week or so. This ability is taught. Scientist:They make the potions that do the cool stuff. Poisons, elixers, and they even make the Liquor! They also know how to apply poisons to anything they wish, and make the cool stuff. they are scientist. They decelop virus's, study the enemy. They design the weapons and armor, the technology. MechanicExtremely important, they are the ones that build the vehicles of mass distruction. They design the tech that goes into vehicles, and are the ones that decide what goes where. Pilot: The essential drivers and fly-boys who control everything with wings, a hull, or wheels. Pilots carry very little weapons and armor, but are experts with vehicles and can even hack into or steal new ones. They can also perform light repairs to their vehicle and communicate with other vehicles via a voice headset. Scavenger: Loners, vultures, outlaws, they've been called everything. Scavengers can take a pile of junk or wreckage and turn it into a use full weapon or vehicle. Lacking the skills of a mechanic and the abilities of a pilot, they depend on their imagination and determination to get things done. Their weapons are old, their armor is nearly obsolete, and their skills can be somewhat lacking, but these survivors are more rugged and ready than any other. Keep in mind that everyone here can use standard weapons.

RACES Elementalist:These guys are the "mages" of this RP. Sorta. They use the 4 elements (Earth, Fire, Wind, Water) to fight, hence the name. Use of abilities use up stamina, so keep that in mind. It drains you to use these. The more difficult the task, the more tired you will become. Beastling:Beastlings are like Were-animals. They have a animal/human cross form. They do not shapeshift. However. They have increased senses and different abilities dependant upon the animal of which they are a part of. here are some examples. Quote: Bird- Sharper eye sight. Can see long distances. Tends to have feathers on body, and slitted pupils. Some even have wings, and even have talons on hands and feet. Cat- Tends to have claws on hands and feet, a tail, and cat ears. Not to mention fangs, and maybe fur. They are strong, and, along with the eyes of a cat, can see in the dark. Have an increased sense of smell and can track by scent. Are very flexible, and acrobatic. Have very good balance. Tend to be very quiet. Snake- Has scales on flesh, slitted eyes, piercing gaze, fangs and sharp nails. Fangs secrete a venom, and, depending on the type of snake, may kill of paralyze, or both. They have a snake's tounge, and no nose. They have the fluid movement of a snake, and can strike as fast as a snake. Wolf- Has fangs, a shaggy appearance, has increased sense of smell, being able to tell the emotions of another by his scent. They have great endurance, and can run for extremely long distances without tiring. Their jaws are built well, and they are very strong biters. Tend to have fur on them, and walk hunched over slightly. Bear- The strongest of the Beastlings, they have really shaggy appearences. They are well muscular, and are normally tall, about 8 ft. They have long shaggy hair, and their faces seem carved from rock. They have the strength of a bear, and the scent of one. They can lift over 5k pounds, easily. All males are hairy. They all tend to have deep voices that seem to rumble in their chests. These people have the ability to shapeshift (duh), But there is a price. They tend to start thinking of themselves as the animals they become. Because of this, they have a Rage ability, in which their strength doubles, and they become fierce, but, they go wild, attacking friend and foe alike. Shadow Walker- These creatures are part of the shadow's they control. Every shadow is a gateway, except the shadow of a living creature. They can manipulate any shadow not connected to a living entity. But, like the Elementalists, using such power drains you. These people have black eyes, all around. their whole eye is black. Their skins are dark, and they tend to shun the light, wearing clokes to hide from the light. Pale Masters-These are the people that deal with the dead. Necromances is a common name for them. They hate it when others call them that. They love the dead, using their powers to bring the dead to unlife, becoming slaves to the Pale Master's will. They can speak with the dead, and can even rip skeletons from an enemies body. That is forbidden, however, and is hardly, if ever, done. It is only used as a last resort. <-- remember that. Master of the Unseen Hand-Also known as Psychics. They are known more for their use of Telekinesis than their other abilities, hence their name. They can use their minds to leap unimaginable hights. This is the only race whose abilites can be used by other races. However, you must ask me, Lanfaer, for that privilage. <--- Important! They are normally quiet people, and tend to be spies. They make friends with other easily, since they know people through their psychic abilities. Anyone of the other races that has psychic abilites has only one, while Masters of the Unseen Hand have all psychic abilities. And no one who uses psychic abilities can use them against a Master, for the Master is always stronger when it comes to using Psychic abilities.

WEAPONS Now. I'm going to make something clear. Think about the storyline before you start saying you are a master with guns and such. No one is a master of a weapon. Not everyone can take a random gun and shoot a bullseye from 500 yards off. Keep that in mind. I consider that god moding. In the beginning, i will comment on it without giving strikes. After a while, i hope you'll figure out for yourselves what is and isn't possible with your character. Think of you OC as a living person, as if you are them. Okay? Shotgun (all gauges) Rifle (all kinds) Machine Gun (all kinds) Pistol (all kinds) Knife (All kinds) Katana Two-Handed Sword Two-Handed Axe Hand Axe Hammer Turrets Phaze Pistol Phaze Rifle Phaze SMG Taser Shock Sabre Shacklance Bow and Arrows Siswai (ask for more info. this is a my custom knife that i made myself) Crossbow Quarterstaff Polearms (Halbers, Pikes, Spears, etc.) Nunchaku Katar (Punching Daggers) Unarmed Fighting Blow Gun Boomerang Longsword Bowstaff (more can and may be added. if you have ideas, please PM me about it, or comment about it. thank you)

The morning sun shone through the lone window into the white room that belonged to Ezekiel Brightstar. His head hurt as he awoke. that was usual from the testing. he sighed heavily, and brought his legs over the side of the square frame of a bed. he yawned, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. Another morning. Great.

((Sweet, thanks.))
Mjarde crawled past various pipes and vents, pausing for just a moment to pull a few stray strands of hair out of her mouth. Her long, shaggy hair got everywhere, but for some reason she just couldn't bring herself to cut it off. Must be her ursine pride, she reasoned. She paused every few feet to peer into the rooms, smelling for signs of life. So far, every room she passed by had been empty. The young bear-woman looked around at her surroundings, amazed that the lab she had broken into had space between floors large enough for a bear-Beastling. Satisfied that fate seemed to be on her side today, Mjarde ambled on.
Suddenly, she froze. To her ultra-sensitive olfactory organ came the smell she had been looking for: life. She sniffed the air again. Elementalist. Directly below her. Without warning, the vent on which she was sitting gave way, and she crashed down in a furry heap onto the floor below. Mjarde berated herself mentally. With a body mass like hers, one had to be very peculiar about where they sat. Ah well, it had gotten her where she needed to be.
