Campaign created Sunday, February 11, 2007 04:03:59 PM by jkwleisemann

In a world where magic and superpowers are largely unknown, you are one of five siblings who have been brought together, by fate, chance, or choice you can't say.

Reunited with your kin after a lifetime not even knowing they existed, you must uncover the secrets of your birth... and protect yourselves in a world that seems to be going mad.

When you were only days old, you were given up for adoption. You never knew your birth mother, never knew your birth father... and never knew your siblings. Lately, you've been getting strange glimpses of other people's lives. People who bear a striking resemblance to you, who remind you of a time before you lived with your current families.

By coincidence or choice, the events of your life have led you back to Colton, WI, the city you were adopted from... the city where you were unknowingly separated from the other four children in your family. Soon, you feel, you will meet the people whose lives you have received glimpses into already. And you know, deep down, that it will probably change your life forever.

There will only be up to 4 PC's in Elements of Change. Each PC's powers will be based off one of the following elements:

Air
Earth
Fire
Spirit
Water

Currently, there are four applicants. Barring loss of interest or inability to put together their concepts, the campaign is closed to new players. Special effects, aside from the elemental basis, must be mystical in nature.

Characters, being quintuplets, are all of the same age and ethnicity as well; 23 years old, Caucasian (of Germanic extraction). However, as they have been adopted by different families, they may vary widely in terms of social upbringing, where they were brought up, current social status, profession, education, and similar elements.

Characters will be based on 200 base points with up to 150 points of advantages. Other limits will be as per standard superhero limitations. Required powers and disads are as follows:

Sibling Bond: Mind Link (Limited Group, up to 4 minds at once, Psychic Bond [25 active points], Only with Others with Mind Link [-1], Real cost 12 points]

Mystic Aura: Distinctive Features (Not Concealable, Noticed and Recognizable, Only detectable with unusual senses, 5 points.)

1/1/1984	A single woman delivers 5 children, mere days old, to the care of Wisconsin Child Services.
1/18/1984	One of the children is adopted by John Richter, an up-and-coming policeman in the Colton, WI Police Department. Named Nicholas Richter.
1/21/1984	Another of the children, eventually named Wei Sheng, is adopted by a Chinese family, moves to Madison.
2/28/1984	The little girl of the quintuplets is adopted by the Castle family in Milwaukee. Named Anita.
10/31/1997	The quintuplets experience strange nightmares of a (very) young woman having sex with an older man. Those who end up discussing it, whether with therapists, priests, or family, have it explained as a more-or-less normal dream for young teenagers going through the normal questions about their sexuality.
Thursday, February 22, 2007	Officer Nick Richter is called to a domestic dispute. Oddly, two other civilians respond as well, both of them (and the woman who called in the dispute) bear a striking resemblance to him. Situation resolved without serious violence or injury.
Friday, February 23, 2007	Karl, Keith, and Wendy meet Wei Sheng, the fourth sibling to accept their apparent relationship and the only one who hadn't responded to the call the night before (physically). Wei also meets Josh Colton, a homeless man who seems to know more about him than he strictly should.
