A mysterious flash...A dark tale...these are all you can remember of your past...
You have been removed from your real life to a bizzare alternate universe. Everything is almost the same, but people have strange powers...and dark secrets.
Try to survive in this sinister world as dark events unfold around you and your friends...reclaim your memories; they may be the key...
As darkness folds around the minds of the Realworld inhabitants, the Psiworld started bringing people in, training them against the ongoing threat of Psi leaking into the Realworld. This flood will soon cause the two worlds to merge, with enough energy to wipe out the multiverse, unleashing that terrible energy upon the fabric that holds reality together. It's a desperate race against time before Reality as we know it ceases to exist...
Places
'Train Station' AKA the Seven Portal Chamber: Has many books as well as seven dials set into the ground. When the arrows on each align, the Seven Portal opens
'Light Station' This place looks like a huge Roman Senate building, with a fountain that pours pure light. Underneath it is the central chamber that has the main Six Portal located there. While conduits can only lead to other conduits, the central one can lead anywhere.

Powers: All charactors are psionic. They are extremely powerful in the strange world, but otherwise they are normal humans. Psionics can be used in both worlds, but should be used in the Realworld only in emergencies.
The list:
cryokinesis [ice]
pyrokinesis [fire]
chronokinesis [time]
umbrakinesis [dark or shadow]
telekinesis [movement]
electrokinesis [electricity]
aquakinesis [water]
aerokinesis [air]
naturakinesis [plants/nature]
necrokinesis [death....more specifically raising and controlling dead people and beings]
empathetic [read emotions]
telepathic [all have this; but choosing it makes you stronger in it while normally you can only communicate by thought.]
illusionism [creating illusions]
energy leeching [take psi energy from other people, can also send energy]
negation [can negate other people's powers]
flip [can flip between worlds without any items]
sigil/rune [use symbols to create effects. each sigil is complex and requires time to draw]
biokinesis [transform yourself or anything nearby, although it's weakened when not used on yourself]
clairvoyance [see the future]
enchant [make magical objects]
teleportation [teleport]
These powers can't be placed in any new charactors bios:
necrokinesis reason: only for bad guys and the Magick Guild
Flip reason: We already have 3 people who can flip
Power Groups:
Mental: Empathetic, Telepathic, Illusionism, Clairvoyance (These powers are related to the mind. These embodiments are sealed in the alternate reality where the Eight Portal was never created.)
Hard power: Cryokinesis, Pyrokinesis, Electrokinesis, Aquakinesis, Aerokinesis (These powers are used as higher-ranked in power in fights, they are 'hard' power. These embodiments are sealed away in an alternate reality where the secrets of how to use Psi weren't written down, and when the last person with that knowledge died, the secrets died with him.)
Soft power: Telekinesis, Energy Leeching, Umbrakinesis, Naturakinesis, Teleportation (These powers are more subtle, and they can be gentle when not used in combat. Their embodiments can be found in an alternate reality where the two worlds have already merged.)
Higher Order: Negation, Necrokinesis, Flip, Sigil/Rune, Enchant, biokinesis (These powers are the more dangerous powers, they are extremely powerful. These embodiments are found in the Psiworld, but eight years in the future. This is the only alternate reality that changes the Psions who go to it. (They grow eight years older until they go back.)
Highest Order: Chronokinesis (Although by itself it may not be too powerful, Chronokinesis is the most dangerous due to the effect on combat.The last embodiment can be found in an alternate reality where the Final Portal was destroyed shortly after its creation.)

Age: 13 to 18 please
Gender:
Classification: pick three powers out of the list above
Active: Tell which ones, if any, are active (you've used them before)
Description: Not needed, you can do a picture instead. Or you can work it into your posts.
Psi type: this is actually used just for recognition purposes. It is the form your psi, or energy, takes when it is visible.
Physical/mental/magical: divide thirty however you like between the three. Physical is your physical strength and resistance; mental is quick thinking, intelligence, focusing, and stuff like countering possession; magical is the strength, longetivity, and and amount of energy used.
Mine:
Mathias

Male
chronokinetic, telekinetic and telepathic
all
Description: Well liked before he was brought to the other world, this kid has dark hair, hazel eyes, is pretty tall, and likes goofing off as well as studying, meditating, focusing his powers, training, and relaxing. He usually wears a dark trenchcoat in the Psiworld, and a light blue windbreaker in the Realworld. In both worlds he wears jeans, and he is puzzled by the fact that there have been no other people that he's seen. He enjoys the fact that psi exists, and is trying to find a way to merge the two worlds without destroying reality. He has been in the Psiworld for over 6 months.
Psi type: Multicolored sparks of light that move at extreme speeds. He can control them with his mind.
PMM: 10/10/10 so that he can do many hard physical tasks, is able to think pretty quickly, and logically, Can focus decently, and is pretty smart, as well as has an average chance at countering possession.

Rules:
These are not the obvious game rules, like no spam. These are actual rules of the way the world works:
1: Multiple people using complementary powers synergistically can produce an effect greater than the sum of its parts.
2: All people are able to go into a trance where all of their powers are used cooperatively to unleash a dangerous effect.
3: If a person knows that an illusion isn't real and truely believes it then the illusion will be unable to affect them.
Worlds:
There are two worlds: the psiworld and the real world. people with FLIP can flip between the two. In each world you will remember only bits of the other world, but there is a guild of people who are located in Castle Rock, Maine who are all able to go to the Psiworld
Beastiary:
Shadow Hound
Powers: Umbrakinesis
PMM: 15, 10, 5
Description: Large wild dogs that seen to be made of shadows. They think human meat is a great snack. They often have a simbiotic relationship with Mindfangs, who are formed inside them.
Mindfangs
Powers: Telepathy
PMM: 1, 9, 20
Description: These small creatures, by themselves, look like small bugs. When they enter the host, they enable the host to absorb parts of the soul by drinking the blood of a victim. (The more blood drained, the more of the soul is absorbed) When a soul is sufficiently absorbed, the bug starts growing inside the host, becoming a powerful being that has the strengths of the host and the victims, and the weaknesses of none of them (unless they are similar weaknesses), known as a Doppelganger. This process usually kills the host. Mindfangs can leave a host, but must be within a new host in a day or they'll die.
Doppelganger
Powers: Depends on the Mindfang's previous host and victims
PMM: Combined total of host's and victims' physical stats, combined total of host's and victims' mental stats, combined total of host's and victims' psionic stats
Description: They look like normal humans, although they often copy the nuances of the persons' sould they absorbed. At this stage they can still absorb souls, and they can change their body to look like the host's/one of the victim's/a mix of the bodies. Legend has it that some people have been able to fight the Doppelganger's evil intentions and emerge as the dominant soul in the body, although several of these stories have been proved to be an act by the doppelganger to get 'back' in with people with lots of power.

Mathias stood around in the building he called the Train Station, waiting. For a train station, it was a strange place. Large bookshelves lined all the walls, with amazing books like "Creatures in the Psiworld" and Mathias's personal favorite, "1,000 Ways to Kill a Being." The ceiling rose up, its great glass dome sparkling, and at its center was an immense column that stretched down to the floor, where seven spinning dials were counting down the time when the small arrows on each would be aligned to the column.
Mathias sighed, then started working the psi around him, multicolored sparks weaving a web around him that seemed to make everything around him speed up. After a minute or so, he released the psi. The dials had drifted closer while he had been slowed down, and now he started pacing the room, wondering. {How does the portal choose who it takes? How much time has passed since I left a psiyear ago? How does the portal even work?} While he was pondering, he glanced at his watch. The dials would be aligned in thirty seconds...the column would vanish, and more people would come. The portal would remain open from midnight, in 25 seconds, to 11:59:59 PM, pouring people through.
Fifteen seconds...

Raeli was in so much trouble. It was almost midnight and he needed to get home an hour ago. But it wasn't his fault! He had been held up by this stupid person at the store he worked at part time. Raeli picked up his pace. He rounded a corner and then-
He stumbled and fell, his face hitting cold wood. Wood? Wasn't he just on... Wait. What was he on? He scrunched his face and tried to think. He was Raeli Kinomoto. Ok good, got that part. He was born in... Burbank, California! And he... But that was it. He couldn't remember anything else. Raeli stood up and looked around in awe. He was in large room lined with book shelves and books. He glanced down and was mildly surprised to find different clothes on him, though he couldn't remember what his old clothes looked like. He was wearing a sleeveless black shirt with brown pants that had many pockets. On his head was a pair of goggles. He lifted them onto his eyes, but they were so heavily tinted, he couldn't see a thing. What good were they? He kept them anyway.
Once he got his bearings, he finally noticed the man standing near him. "Uh... hi?"

Aiella opened her eyes, looking up at the ceiling. 'Where am I?' She thought, looking around as best she could considering she was on her back. She didn't remember much, just her first name and a few random memories. Why couldn't she remember? She knew that she had to have a mom, a dad, friends, so why couldn't she even picture their faces? Aiella rubbed her head, checking for a bumb. She couldn't find one, so she ruled out getting knocked out by a mugger or something. Could she have been kidnapped? How else could she have gotten here? 'No. No, that's not important right now.' She thought. 'I have to figure out where I am first, then I can figure out a way to get out of here.'
She sat up and looked around, taking in her surroundings. "What a strange place..." She mumbled to herself. "Wait a second," she thought aloud "why in the world am I wearing a skirt? Ugh, whatever..." It was then she spotted two other people in the... whatever this room was. She stood up, with a little bit of difficulty, and looked for one person to the other. They didn't look dangerous, but then again you could never tell. She was going to have to be careful. "Who are you two? What is this place?"

Mathias looked at the two arrivals in surprise. {Great. They're new. I wonder if any of them can Flip...} He looked at the room around him, trying to see it from their eyes, then gave up. {Although you may not know who you are, I do.} He thought, making his "speech" so that they could hear it. "I don't know exactly who you are, but I know why you're here." He continued out loud, starting pacing and wondering if they were here by accident. {I mean seriously! A girl who looks like...} He thought to himself, trailing off as he remembered one of the kids who had been sent through with him. She had been too shy and afraid of the Psiworld, that when they had faced a creature, she had been too afraid of her powers and had vanished from both worlds, absorbed into the creature. {I hope she survives...} He thought as he looked over at them. "Listen. Our memories are gone, probably only until we can get back. But something's not right...You are no longer on Earth, or the Realworld." He sighed, wondering how to break it to them. "The Realworld and the Psiworld, what we call this place, are about to merge. And when they do..." He couldn't say it, sending a picture of reality being destroyed into their minds instead. All of a sudden, he remembered why he had been here. "What year is it?" He asked them while already using telekinesis to open the door, which let out a loud CLUNK before opening, the two parts of the circle, shaped like Yin and Yang, sliding apart to reveal the bright sunlight outside.

She looked at the boy closest to her, at least he looked as confused by this whole thing as she was. However, that was little comfort. The other boy looked quite comfortable where he was, in this weird place. 'Could he have been the one that brought me here?' she though, eying him suspicously. He was talking nonsense, or at least it seemed that way to her. 'He says he knows why we're here, but he hasn't told us. He says our memories are gone, but how does he know that? He says we're not on Earth but that's impossible. And what in the world is this Psiworld he's talking about? There's something wrong with this picture' She thought.
Suddenly the picture of the ruined world came into her mind. It was awful. People were dying and there was blood and chaos everywhere. She had never seen something so bad. It made her feel sick just to look at it. She was snapped out of it by the voice of the boy who was explaining things to them. "What year is it? Ummm... What year is it?" she found she couldn't remember, but was too drawn to the large door to try and figure it out. She had to shield her eyes when the light came flooding in. "Hey! Don't you go anywhere!" She said, running up to the boy. "What do you mean by "why we're here"? And there's no possible way we're not on Earth, so tell us where we really are!" She turned to the other boy. "Don't tell me you believe him!"

He looked blankly at the girl. "I... I don't know. I mean, either he's telling the truth, or I'm crazy and this isn't real." Raeli shrugged. "Either way, I don't see much choice than to follow him." He looked at her for affirmation.
(( you should have put this in the Intermediate section, Demosthenes. it's well thought out
sorry 'bout the short post. couldn't think of anything more to say ))

Name: Mara Watson
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Classification: Cryokinesis/Telekinesis/Flip
Active: All
Description: An outstanding student, and current top of her class, Mara is generally a respectable young woman. In the Realworld, she's always found wearing a business-casual shirt/skirt combo, and her deep-red hair is always tied back with a small black bow. In the Psiworld, however, her outfit becomes a much more dramatic affair. Her hair hangs loosely in her face, and her business-casual attire turns to a more sinister pair of torn jeans with a well-worn denim jacket, half-buttoned for purposes of non-existant decency. She hasn't been to the Psiworld in nearly a year. She remembers little of her accidental trips to it, though each time was spent in a library-esque room, that much she is sure of.
Psi type: Whisps of blue flame that surround her entire body, that fluctuate at her will or with her emotions.
Physical/mental/magical: 8/11/11

As if waking up from a dream, Mara allowed her emerald-green eyes to focus on her knees. Quickly, she realized that she was no longer lying in her bed, and was leaning against something hard. Turning around, she found rows of books, and one immediately caught her eye: "Strength Through the Mind's Eye".
"Now this is familiar." she thought aloud, pulling the book from it's place and tracing a finger down the binding.
Then another realization struck her. There were voices in this room. She had never met another living soul here, which was the reason she'd never returned after learning to control her visits. She turned as she stood up, looking first at the faintly familiar clothes she was wearing, then in the direction of the voices. There she noticed two young men and a young woman. One of the men stood near a passage, as the other and the girl stood about debating on following him. It was amidst their indecision, and her own, that Mara decided that she should speak up.
"Um... Excuse me, but no one here is crazy. You all are where you stand, just as I am. But I have to ask, how did you get here? Can you come and go, as well?"
Feeling rather astonished that there were indeed others standing before her, Mara's psi pulsed to match her own excited intrigue.

"Heh." Mathias let out a little chuckle. "This is real, but who's saying that you aren't crazy as well? I mean really! You don't even know what year it is!" All of a sudden he felt sad. "It's probably a long way from 2005, but who's to say? I was hoping you would know...since you're new arrivals I was hoping you would have kept some memories...like the date?" He stopped pacing in front of the door and started fidgeting with a small book called "A Liste Of Poweres in the Worlde of Psycokinetics" as he said, "You remember basic things-we all do-but your true memories come back over time. I remember most of my life now, but there are still a few blank spaces." He turned to where the portal was closing. "You're here because, as you will probably think is cliched, the mutiverse needs you. That image will happen, and more, if it's not fixed. For your next question," he turned back to the seemingly hysterical girl, "you aren't on Earth. Or rather you are...but you're not. This is what Earth would be like if we had Magick instead of technology. Think of it as two overlapping pictures from a 3d projector, each one slightly different. Look through the technology lens of the glasses, and you see our Earth. Look through the other lens, the Magickal one, and you get this place, home to all kinds of creatures and beings, and the singularity of Magick."
He jumped as yet another person arrived. "You've been here before? You can come and go at will?" He was shocked. People who could Flip were extremely rare usually. Then he remembered something else. "Wait...what year is it?" He said with a small grin.
((Sorry about the little charactor bashing, its just part of my charactor's personality. Also, I put it here because this is where "advanced" RP's go according to the stickies, and if it isn't one they'll move it, unless they don't follow the rules in their own stickies))
