The time of superhumans has come. They have become fully accepted into society--so much so that in some cases they have actually started pushing the humans out. Amidst the turmoil of superheroes and supervillains battling in the streets, the superhuman only alcohol prohibition, and the complete superhuman takeover of the entire sports industry, there are the barely above average people. 

They may not have the powers as strong as any heroes, but they aren't human either. Being on the bridge between the two extremes of powerful and powerless is difficult. Taxes and insurance costs are higher and laws are stricter for supers than humans, regardless of power type or grade. For different reasons, some low grade supers decide they would rather be human than super. 

That is how it was for you. Unfortunately, things happened, you lied about your possession of powers, and now you have an all expense paid trip to where you will be living among some of the most terrifying supers in the city of all grades. Welcome to prison, buttercup. Good luck surviving. You'll need it, because your powers sure ain't gonna save you.

Little did you know that there you would meet others just like you. Together you decide to lead a non-violent resistance to the strict divide. However, things don't always work out as planned, and you and your group suddenly have everyone turned against you and a target on your backs.

Maybe you should've just stayed in prison...

((A Literate roleplay about the superhumans who aren't all that super.))

Superpowered: A Family Affair by jlbwritesitall
1 part Complete
It's so easy to hate super heroes. They're arrogant, they're destructive, and they're everywhere. Then there's the spandex. My God...the spandex. Some want to be famous, some want to get rich, and some just want to dispense their own vision of vigilante justice. Then there's Dennis. Married forty something father of three who puts in long hours as a bank executive in Philadelphia. He observes these Supers (general term used for humans with exceptional abilities) daily, cursing as they trash the city, demolish landmarks, and wreak havoc on his insurance premiums. Dennis' biggest problem though, is that he's one of them. He's spent his entire life just trying to be normal. Getting married, raising a family, and having a good job are all he's ever wanted. Is it really too much to ask to just live, love, and retire in peace? Of course it is! Supers are easily monetized. Comic books, movie deals, television shows, public appearances, and well paid security gigs draw people with any kind of powers to join the limelight with the rest. Dennis comes to find that no matter how much you deny who you are, the world will never stop spinning, and you will eventually be dragged right along with it. Unfortunately for him, that dragging is bloody, painful, and unrelenting. Superpowered is a first person fiction narrative from the eyes of a reluctant, power-wielding human being. Focusing not on super heroes or super villains, but instead on people with extraordinary abilities, this book will take you along for Dennis' tense, thrilling, and gruesome journey through the highs and heartbreaking lows.

{COMPLETED} "now that you've had your fun electrocuting me, would you care to hop in the backseat?" ---------------------------------------------------------- Freak DNA. That's what I like to call it. The fault to my genetic code. More often than not, it's a curse. The static running through my blood gave me a name. A cruel, daunting label of a measly bug. A roach. That's what I am to them, to the government. Roach; the nameless monster with electricity for a sense and lightening as a second nature. It ruined my life, the sparking currents playing tag in my mind, running around and bumping into everything, shaking me loose. The government, actually. They ruined my life. My curse just gave them a reason. You see, the normal population with ordinary DNA, they don't know about the people like me. The roaches of the world. We don't get that kind of recognition at the camps. There, we are only one thing in the military's eyes. We are weapons and we will act like it. Everyone else out there, bathing in the goodness they don't know they've got, they don't know about the roaches their stepping on. As long as their getting closer to the sky, they don't care what they stand on to reach it. They don't know about the sparkling dreamer that's killed 7 people before her 17th birthday. They don't about the ghost of a girl peaking around corners for her entire life because even home wasn't safe. They don't know about the fighter of steel and iron sucking on his bloody lip courtesy of the wars he battles in as nothing but a shadow. They don't know about the masked villain who would do anything to see the army they lead claim the throne They don't know about us. But they will, because we will rise. And when we arrive, we will arrive violently. ___________________________________________ Started: 10.06.15 Finished: 3.17.16

I should be dead. At least, that's what the government officials told me in the super-secret lab where I woke up strapped to a mattress in a windowless room...Sound problematic to anyone else? Like I told the psychos experimenting on me, I've got zero clue how I got my new powers, but I'm sure-as-shit not going to let them turn me into a deadly weapon (or squeeze me into a spangly jumpsuit). Problem is, I'm not so great at controlling whatever the hell it is I've become...Not to mention I'm on the run from my country for a teensy-weensy act of treason while being chased by a shadowy masked mute who may or may not have superhuman abilities too (but is definitely stupid hot under his off-putting disguise). I'm only 25 and my career choices have been limited to hero or villain. WTF?!? Indie Author Fangirl Moments: 1. SHORTLISTED FOR A 2021 Watty (WTF?!?) 2.
