A group of people, all from different parts of the continient, often got together online for gifted roleplaying. but after a surprise terrorist attack on the Canada/US border that sent waves of coloured smoke over both countries, they wake up in a forest that never seems to end. weirdest of all, they have powers like those they so often roleplayed together with. Most of them have never seen each other: Will they even recognize each other? will they ever get out of the frest? Will they ever find out WHY there was a terrorist attack on the border when the Olympics were nearby? Only YOU can find out (Thats right we're rping ourselves. If you don't want to use your real ame then make up something close. )

Name: Raven
Age: 14
Appearance: Layered brown hair with bangs that are constantly in her face. She wears a black headband, to keep her hair back as much as possible. This is ironic because her hair is strait, not curly. Her eyes are also brown, but extremely dark and floresent light makes them look blood red. Her favorite shirt is dark purple with silver skulls on it. The sleaves are long with thumb holes. She wears grey jeans and a black jacket that is open and blows in the wind. She is very thin and her only regret about that is that people honestly think she's anorexic, she's not. She is also naturally tan (I know, it seems perfect, but it's true, I swear). 5'3" with some acne. She also wears a purple collar with a rainbow dog-tag. Her two cats follow her around, even now. One is orange and one is black. Their names are Pride (black) and Hope (orange).
Power: fire
Personality: Unpredictable and different, like the flames she controls. Sometimes she's sweet and ernest, thinking of complements that are totally true and really boost your self-esteem, sometimes she's violent, swears, and wants to punch something, sometimes she's calm, sitting and quietly thinking or reading, sometimes loud and good-humored, coming up with jokes and laughing at other people's. Her moods often come from no where, springing up from within her seemingly at random. This confuses her a lot, but she's learned to deal with it most of the time.
Hobbies: Hiking, playing with her pets, role playing, reading, writing, listening to music, arguing.
Likes: Climbing of all kinds, being with her friends, and animals in general.
Dislikes: Stupid people, stupid gramatical errors, wet, Mary Sues, and -ists of ALL kinds, I mean, seriously, what does the color of your skin, your height, which gender you like, or anything else to do with that?! It's retarded that marrying someone of the same gender should EVER be ILLEGAL!!!
Fears: Heights (ironic? yes, I'm terrified of heights but I love climbing), water, clowns, weird and unlikely, but possible events, like a random (")accident(") killing her or someone she cares about.
Sayings: "Shut up," "See you later, if they haven't taken me in by then! (with a silly grin)," "Everything in this world needs to change because everything is either some kind of -ist or totally wrong," "Yes I am insane, no I am not going to hug you."

Rachael was awoken by the uncomfortable ground and the sun playing on her face. Groaning, she rubbed her eyes and opened them. Huh? She didn't remember going camping... and where were her parents and Jack? She tried to remember what she'd done yesterday. She remembered wasting her entire lunch hour wandering around school, checking for open shop on one end of the school, and Writers Club on the other. There had been the usual Rhodesia-Ben argument, which had ended with her telling Rhode to go die in a hole at least six times, her secretly pwning Ben by calling him Mr. Motorcross when he has't seen equals three, and Rachael pwning her by calling her Your Average Star Trek Fan. She'd gone out to Kits with her family and Teale and Rick, playing with their kids Kaitlyn and Dylan. She'd gone to bed on the air matress.... and woken up here.
That brought up the interesting question of what happened to those two. Neither was really old enough to be hanging around a forest on their own.
Well, for now Rachael had to deal with what was going on on her own. That sun in her eyes was getting really uncomfortable, which was weird because she was the only kid she knew who could stare into a flashlight without blinking. But this sunlight was painful. She got up and slipped quickly into the shade of one of the trees, trying to get her eyes to adjust. But they wern't. Why wern't they? And why were her hands so soaked? she wiped themquickly on her jeans.

The smell of singed fur, a weight on her chest making it hard to breathe, and a huge headache. Those were the only real things in Raven's world right then. Then her nose started itching and the smell of burnt fur intensified. She reached up to scratch it and felt fuzz. She opened her eyes and saw a black tail draped across her face. That explained the weight on her middle. She lifted Pride off her, then sat up and placed him next to Hope, who had been laying next to her. Raven looked around, her eyes widening as she took in the forest. The smell returned to her: burnt fur, and burnt wood. She looked down, her cats looked mostly unharmed, though their fur was deffinately singed. The trees around her were aslo burnt, one was still smoking, but the oddest part of it all, was that the fire seemed to have been all around her, yet she was perfectly fine. Nothing on her was even hot, not even the metal button on her pants or her plastic headband.

Jonathan awoke propped up aginst a tree and yawned, he looked around and found his bag full of several notebooks and writing utensils siting next to him. He soon realized that he was in a forest, and not his comfortable bed but shrugged and continued the drawing he had started the night before, it was a small bird and he finished up the stitching that existed in place of an eye. Pleased with his work he closed the notebook and slid it back into his bag. He stood up and then heard an odd noise, looking up at the ree it looked exactly like the drawing he just completed, holding strands of his hair in its mouth.

"Damn it, what is up with me today?" Rachael snapped at herself, rubbing her eyes with her hands. "I stare at a computer screen six hours a day and now suddenly I can't look at the sun? And why the heck are my hands still wet?" It was true. Her face was now covered in water and she had to blink several times to get the water out of her eyes. Wiping them on her jeans again, she sighed. She could see now, at least, But it was definatley a strain on her eyes to be anywhere but the shade. This made her think of an old Gifted roleplay character, Pierce, who always had this problem but was never made terribly affected by it. Often, it didn't even come up. 'Gary-stu-ish much?' Rachael thought. She decided she'd find something to eat, or some sort of water source. She wasn't thirsty at the moment, but if she couldn't find her way out of her she would be in a few hours. Suddenly, she heard a sound. something on a leaf, and it was close. whipping around, she surveyed the area, getting herself scared with her own imagination again. she heard it again and looked down. The leaf next to her was wet. She looked at her hands, and groaned. they were soaking wet again! The sound she'd heard was a water droplet dripping off her hand onto a leaf!. Drying her hands on the bottom of her sweater this time, she wiped them carefully until the were completley dry. She remembered one of her Gifted character having this problem in a roleplay where she was just mastering her water powers.

Raven decided that it must not be a dream, because you never thought of that in dreams and she had. "Come on kitties," she called. They followed as she walked into the forest. She walked easily among the trees, hardly stumbling over the roots and stones. After a while she spotted a boy sitting at the base of a tree. She started to climb one nearby, not wanting to be seen by the unknown male. Her mind was racing, she was actually having an adventure of her own, and if it wasn't, she would make it up. She imagined she was a spy and the boy was her target, she had to see without being seen.

Rachael wondered if this was a dream. the wet hands, the poor eyesight, they were both stuff she'd used in her characters at one time or another. What other explanation was there to why she had two traits found in her gifteds, for reasons none other than they showed what their gifts were?
She couldn't stand the sun anymore. Moving was a hassle. oh, how she wished it was darker. Then, something odd happened. It did get darker. The sun didn't go down or anything lkike that. It was sort of like a mist had blocked the sunlight. black mist. No that wasn't real accurate either, Rachael thought. It's like how the light in the den has ajustable brightness, and I just turned it down a notch or two. But how did she do it? the moment she stopped and looked up in shock, it dissappeared, the glare of the sun hitting her in the face painfully. But she'd been trying to teach herself to cope with pain for awhile, and she concentrated again, barely distracted. the light slid down a notch or two. She started expirimenting, pulling it nearly to the darkness of night, and concentrating it around her clearing. she played with it until it seemed darker than night. it was so dark, she knew most people wouldn't be able to see a thing. But she could see just fine.
There was no question about it now, as she brought the light to it's normal level and sheilded her eyes with her hand as she walked. She'd been given darkness powers exactly like her character Pierce. She was sure this had to be a dream.
But the way this was shaping up, this would be the best dream ever.

Rae blinked slightly, waking. She caught a quick glimpse of the sky before they were tightly shut again. "Morning, Rebe-" she began before forcing her eyes open again. She was... outdoors? But... she had fallen asleep in her bed. Inside the house. Not outside. She shook her head, pushing herself up so she was sitting. And her little sister was no where in sight. Gone. "Where am I?" she muttered. A cloud drifted by, quickly joined by another and another. The sky was cloudy. Just like her mind. Confused. It seemed that Rae was in... a forest? There were no forests near where she lived, however. "What happened?" The thought sent a chill through her. Or maybe it was the air. It had suddenly turned cold. So strange. Just like the world around her. Rae rubbed her eyes and lay back down. Maybe it was a dream. And if she slept again, it would go away. But she didn't shut her eyes. She just lay there.

Hmm.. if she had darkness powers... the water on her hands. did she have water powers as well? She came to a small lake, reaally just a deep watering hole. She'd origanally wanted a source of water, but now she was going for more than that. Taking a deep breath, she jumped in. The easiest way to tell would be water pressure, but it probably wouldn't be deep enough for than. she sighed, losing all her air, prepared her self mentally, and took a tiny breath. She'd been right! it felt exactly the same as breathing air! Smiling, she took a big gulp of waterv and refilled her lungs. she started to chee underwater. Water and darknness. the two powers that fit her best. She'd better not wake up any time soon

Waking up in a fog is never a pleasant event to deal with. During this time your eyes are heavy and your mind is only working half of its normal minimum. With the mind in this state there is no real thought process when you are interacting with your surroundings, only instinct, something humans have tried to eliminate for the thousands of years past, trying to seem superior to everything else on the earth that they are actually equal to, or maybe less then.
In this situation was a fourteen year old female, laying on the ground, awake like she had been for hours but playing dead, trying to come up with the best plan. By this time her mind had cleared but still she couldn't quite place a logical explanation behind her whereabouts. Her last conscience memory was crossing to the Canadian side of the boarder sense the first time sense she was a young child, but now she was in the middle of no where and she hadn't the slightest idea why it was her in this face down position as she pondered over her situation.
It would take her much time to truly go over every variable in the entire situation and time wasn't something she was sure she had on her side. She felt something coming. She couldn't quite explain why but she felt something approaching her direction. Like silent foot steps that she could only hear in side of her mind, not foot steps, no, more like a heart beat.
She pushed herself off of the ground and gave her eyes a quick moment to adjust. Everything was so detailed to her. The plants seemed more alive than usual and the animal creatures seemed to have the same repeating heart pumping as the approaching person had. But how did she know it was human, and how exactly did she feel this heartbeat. She had no idea but she was planning to find out, as soon as she found a safe place to go.
So she started to run from her spot, it taking her longer than her usual to get out of place and keep her balance. When she finally started to clearly run and get into step the thumping became louder. Not like she was being approached but like every living thing around her had this beat and it was all combined in the same, this sound seemed to fuel her and the run continued, her eyes frantically searching the now detailed forest for a safe place to stay while she sorted everything out,
