The Origin of The End.
“Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron….Is there no other way the world may live?”
– Dwight D. Eisenhower
The answer was coming. Things are about to change.

Listen up. I'm gonna tell you a story...
A military transmission was sent in to the United States Special Operations Command. NATO has also authorized access to the transmission showcasing an unknown broadcast that originated somewhere in Iceland. The broadcast only contains static noise and muffled speaking in what seems to be an inaudible language. The IP origin and data source has been rendered unable to decipher. The only thing that can be made out of the entire feed is that of a singular figure in the midst of the visual data. No facial recognition or satellite ID program has been able to determine the figure nor its point of emphasis. It was initially believed to be a propaganda message or a potential encrypted foreign message that was intercepted or leaked by rogue intelligence. But the stark reality had set in for something much more threatening.
Because a similar transmission was located in Iceland as well, from an Army unit sent to investigate a malfunctioned military satellite. A transmission that was detected and received literal seconds after the mysterious broadcast. However, the second transmission contained the same exact GPS location and method of transmission as the mystery one, with one frightening difference. The mysterious feed was sent with a timestamp several hours ahead of its current time, meaning that regardless of time zone, the message had been sent from the technical future. The second one that followed was decoded as an emergency transmission from the dispatched Army squad to a remote military satellite station, declaring they had been in an ambush from an unknown opposition. Radio silence ensued, with the last bit of audio being able to provide that they were being seized and possibly taken hostage. One Specialist managed to provide final intel before she too was never heard of since then.
Intel suggests thermonuclear activity immediately following the transmission. NATO has advised that Iceland has virtually zero domestic nor foreign terror activity, and that all sites authorized and monitored by NATO and military installations are covert and only classified to military personnel cleared by a private commands operation. USSOCOM has been advised to prepare a contingency and organize a team under covert operations to provide intel and recon for the black site. A highly professional and elite JSOC (Joint Special Operations Command) is being prepared to encounter a situation not even the earnest of training and years have prepared them for, the mysterious circumstances propelling them into a fray of something no red blooded human could ever be prepared for. This would be the beginning of Operation Catalyst.
The End starts with you. Yeah. This is all your fault. You'll see what I mean soon enough...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is an interest check for an original concept I've started to develop. The plot and premise will focus around a mysterious military operation involving a bizzare data broadcast of unknown sourcing. From there, everyone involved will be thrown into a series of events and occurrences that will forever change them, and the nature of the planet as they knew it. Operation Catalyst will result in a new world where powered beings will now exist among a modern world who may not be ready for such an era. The added theme of military adds more drama, action, and thriller tones as the characters will have to weave through the ever power-seeking Defense apparatus' and their agendas while learning to adapt to their new and random way of life. I made the military operation ran by JSOC so that people are free to be from whatever branch of military they so wish. For those who don't want to play a military combat oriented character, you may join MC in the Army unit who's been ambushed and captured / "killed". Also, there are civilian NATO officers that could be played maybe assigned to the remote station / black site.
OC's are encouraged to add extra nuance and character balance to deviate from just the usual military character to set apart from others. Not everybody should / can be sharpshooters or Rambo type badasses. That being said you're free to build your OC how you see fit. As far as abilities, this is the first time I'm not using my typical random assignment of abilities for people to have powers, instead, I'm giving the players the choice to decide what abilities they wish to have. NOTE: Since this is a relatively grounded tone (considering its a superpowred RP) it's best that powers are decided that can be realistically quantified by science in some way shape of form. For example, super speed, strength, telepathy, electricity manipulation, telekinesis are all things that can at least somewhat be quantified from a science approach, however things like Demon summoning, werewolf transformation, magic casting, spirit manipulation are things I'd recommend to stray away from. It won't mean you'll be outright rejected, but I'll choose the more relative abilities almost every time if it comes down to choice. Build your power around your character, not the other way around. If you're not sure where an ability falls, ask me about your idea and I'll be happy to talk it out with you if it makes sense and I see you've put well-thought behind it.
Disclaimer: I will shut you down hard if you come off as too overpowered or Gary/Mary sue.
Okay!
