Prompt
Okay. So, imagine this: you are in the kitchen with your mother. She is preparing dinner and you just laid out all the perfect reasons why she should let you go to that party that is giving by one of the insanely rich and popular kids of your school. You have been invited for some reason and you definitely want to go. But instead of being happy for you, your mother just takes one look at you and says no. You are not allowed to go. Since it is on a schoolnight. You get frustrated. Could she not see how unfair this was?! Even the lame weird kid next door was allowed to go! You throw your hands up and suddenly the stove is ablaze. Your mother reacts quickly and turns down the gass and grabs the fire extinguisher. Guess tonight's dinner will be pizza...

This is just one of many incidents that are happening lately. Since you are not only going to the confusing time that is called puberty, where your hormones have run amok and your brain goes through some serious changes, but you are also coming into your magic powers. Now, don't be afraid. You won't be hunted down. You don't have to save the world. There is no need to fear your life. Magic powers are very common actually. Everyone has them. Yes, even you strict and boring parents. Why do you think your mom was not that surprised when the stove was suddenly om fire?
Setting
Puberty has been mentioned, powers have been mentioned. So survival camp: That is where this roleplay will start with and we will see how much longer we will keep going. Our teenaged characters (16-18 years old) have just finished the first exam period of their Senior year. In order to keep them distracted and give them a fun little break, the whole year will go on a survival week. It is meant to been fun, make sure they won't stress too much over their grades or keep on annoying teacher by asking if they finished marking the tests yet. And perhaps it is also a bit meant to stop the PE teachers from complaining that all the focus on in the intellectual subjects and not on the physical subjects. Anyway, the kids will be send on monday morning and with a bit of luck they will return by Sunday afternoon. No, really, there won't be any harm done to the kids. It is just meant to be a fun week of teambuilding and being in the nature and some secret partying, perhaps. Each team has ten students. The groups of students are made at random by the teachers and cannot be changed! If your group sucks, well, too bad life is unfair.

Okay, bit more information on the powers. As mentioned, powers are a very common thing in the world. Everyone has them, but most adults hardly ever use them. Some jobs however do prefer a certain type of power, or at least require you to keep up with your power, like the police, army and firefighters. Also in hospitals people with healing powers or other medical useful powers are highly encouraged to keep developping. However this does not mean that your power will determine your faith. Having a certain power is not allowed to be a requirement for a job, and discriminating based on someones powers is not allowed. So, how do you get your power? Everyone gets their power during their puberty. And like anything else happening in your puberty when this exactly happens can change from person to person. There are some cases of people starting to show them at the age of 12, but there have also been cases where the first sign of a power didn't show up until 18 years old.

The powers are basically limitless, however that doesn't mean you have full potential immediately. You need to learn and understand your power as well as how to activate it and how to use it. Each power may work differently, some are motion activated, some are voice activated, others follow your thoughts, your imagination or your emotions. It depends on how you are and what power you have. And even someone with the same power can have a completely different way of working with it. Basically through your teenage years and first half of the twenties you will have a lot of accidents and have to learn how to work your powers. By the end of your twenties you should be able to do the basics, and that is when most adults stop with developping their powers and start concentrateing on life and different things. However there are also people devoted to their powers and they have learned much more advanced stuff, sometimes even things that others would think are impossible. It all depends on you how much and how you develop your powers. So are your powers predetermined? Until the '60's people liked to think that powers were hereditary, but (recent) studies have made it very clear there is no link between powers and ones genetic coding. So, while most families member do tend to have the same type of powers and way to work with them, it is completely possible to have something different than your parents. Or even your siblings. So no, having water powers in a fire family doesn't mean you are adopted, or that your mother cheated!
