In a dystopian New York City, people known as Marked are considered criminals just by existing. If not immediately taken in, they are treated as outcasts, as less than human by society. The small marking that varies Marked to Marked, found anywhere on their bodies, is an indicator of inhuman abilities.

The Marked, despite really only having each other, tend to avoid one another, for fear of sullying their already dismal reputations more. And then two Marked find themselves locked in the same cell, waiting for an execution for crimes they didn't commit. With no choice but to help each other break out, they do just that, and decide to take matters into their own hands.

1. Your character isn't perfect, and can be hurt. Please, let them be hurt, let them have flaws. That's what makes a good character.

2. Proper grammar, punctuation, and capitalization, please. I can get making a few mistakes, when you're tired, or English ain't your first language(It's mine, and even I have my issues), but if it's too common a thing, it irks the hell outta me. Call me a bitch, but hey.

3. Slurs, homophobia, transphobia, rascism, sexism, anything that ends in -ism and that harms or promotes the harm of other people would preferably be avoided. There are certain allowances that can be made, especially when concerning a character's backstory and things like that, but it has to be cleared with me.

4. Detailed-ish responses, please. Think three or more sentences. To keep it going.

5. Please, be on fairly often. Vacations, school, and jobs are all things I can get, but I'd like for this to have a regular pace!

6. andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer)'s rules always apply.

7. This is rated M, because I am, in fact, looking for someone chill w/ possible smexy stuff and the dark themes/occasional violent moment.

8. I have the full right to add and edit this list. I also have the right to boot you if you're causing too many problems.

Name: Anastasia "Ace" Loki
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Pansexual, but she's not too concerned about dating. Just, y'know, trying not to die.
Appearance: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/764697211709136984/ Not all that tall, but looks like she could kick your ass. Sharp grey eyes that change with her moods. Numerous scars everywhere, including four bullet wounds scarily close to her heart. Her mark is right over her heart, visible in her tank tops, and presumably that ties into the bullet scars and how she was found out. https://tinyurl.com/yyat7yst
Usual Clothing/Style: A pair of black skinny jeans tucked into black ankle boots and a long sleeved shirt, in the same color, when she needs something more presentable. When she doesn't, an old, oil-stained pair of cargo pants tucked into beat up old combat boots, and a black tank top. She keeps her hair back with a black bandana when needed, and a pair of fingerless black gloves complete the outfit. The only jacket she owns is her old air force jacket, and she wears two dog tags, one her own, the other belonging to someone else.
Power: Ability mimicking. If she touches another Marked, she can mimic their ability. If she touches someone else, the previous ability swaps to the one of the person she touched. If she really tries, she can recall previous abilities she's 'snatched', as she calls it, though it takes a lot out of her.
Fears: Dark enclosed spaces, handcuffs, being blindfolded and/or unable to see.
Other: She had, at one point, been in the Air Force. Right up until her Mark was discovered, and she was dishonorably discharged.

Name: Zyra Everett
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Demisexual panromantic
Appearance: She's probably around 5'6, Wavy/Curly black hair that's up to her lower back, but there are some days where her hair is a bit straighter. Rich brown eyes with black ring that kinda fades into grey, they look light brown/gold under direct light. Chocolate colored skin with a hint of olive, stitches right above her left eyebrow, and has glasses. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OWv3jPdBtLgRtD6B0uvEGPjeoNiAV9KNmsVGPsZHdqk/edit

The mark is near her left inner forearm, which means she's almost always wearing thick long-sleeved shirts. Even if it's the dead of summer and everyone is wearing barely anything.
Usual Clothing/Style: Anything comfortable and is also not a bright color. So usually hoodies, and black pants or something like that
Power: Umbrakinesis, basically she can manipulate Darkness into any form any desires. She can also use it to heal minor wounds if she ever get's hurt, etc. If you want a reminder on what Umbrakinesis is, you can use this, because that's what I based her powers off of.
Fears: Losing someone she cares about, heights, darkness (before she knew about her powers), and being unable to use a part of her body
Other: I'm horrible at making characters

(Is she okay?)

Gotcha, she's great! Can I get just a quick description of like, side effects from too much use, a few limits, that kind of thing? Like, is she unable to use the power in an area with little shadow/darkness? Or would that just make it way weaker than, say, using it at night, or in a super dark room?

Oh right, I forgot about that! Sorry! So, she can't use her powers in a super bright room, because there isn't any darkness and, um, yea. If she uses her powers to control a large amount of darkness or if she uses it too often, it'll strain her and she might pass out and when she wakes up, her powers might be harder to use since she would still be a bit weak. But that doesn't last for long, it usually depends on how often she used her powers.

Alright, gotcha! Thanks!

I'll be heading out for who knows how long, so I'll get a starter up later this afternoon

Okay then, take your time!

Anastasia let out a sound scarily similar to a snarl as she was shoved violently into an already occupied cell, somehow not loosing her balance despite the force behind the shove. She felt oddly bare, without anything but a thin black tank top on her person. The cop that had grabbed her had taken her jacket, apparently deciding to make sure everyone could see her Mark. The twin snakes that had marred her skin since birth wrapped around each other, looking oddly foreboding when paired with the puckered scars and fierce look on her face. It was a vibe she'd perfected, because it kept other people away, from her and her secrets. And that was best for everyone.

Stupid stupid stupid. You know better than to get caught. She was already picking the lock on her cuffs, needing them off before the panic set in and she was rendered incapable of functioning. Thank god for earrings. She turned, taking in the cell as she did, and her eyes fixed on the girl already in it. Chanced were, they wouldn't toss her in with normal civilians, so it was safe to assume this girl was a Marked as well. Fuck.
