this is a thread for the collected rambles of a world that is built on the very dead ashes of an old one. some of the names might be familiar. those are not those characters riven jacobson: Healer, got said healing abilities after he was shot in the leg and the mechanism that gives you traumagenic superpowers was like "shit, you gotta get healed and fast" a tad mind broken, mostly has his shit together, loving parents and really could do without having other people in his head. sam fraenkel: Has a very specific kind of mind control ability. Got that after she was forced to talk down the person who shot Riven. currently crashing at elias's because fuck, she's going to finish high school even if she dies in the attempt (do not let her die, this is a bad plan, she is bad at being a human) elias anderson: in same incident that gave his friends powers, got superspeed, because he freaked out and had to run away from said thing very fast. also going to finish high school if it kills him, someone please make the boy eat, he has a very speedy metabolism. a speedy boi, if you would. they also have their friend august, who is just LIterally Fire they also have boethius, former philosophy prof and undying weirdo. he needs help.
riven's family: mom: telepath. just, straight up telepathy. used to be a lawyer, now writes stuff. helps tutor his little brother in his technopathy little brother: technopath. scary, scary good at making computers. has possibly an actual ai somewhere. dad: also healing, sort of? he might literally just be making life. no one is sure. not even riven's mom. elias's family mom: can shrink stuff, including herself. think henry pym, but superpower and not mad science. dad: spidey sense. mostly doesn't use it. works in disaster relief. step-mom: think plastic man little half brother: is a bird sometimes. what kind of bird? depends. loudly.
sam is in elias's basement Every time the family dog is seen, he is slightly smaller. Every time is slightly more adorable than the last.
""why are you in elias's basement" "it's a nice basement. look, a bed." "how did you get this bed down here." "his mom's a doctor" "that doesn't explain anything." "his stepmom's also a doctor" "That explain even less." "His dad used to be a doctor." "This does not explain things like you think it does.""
Lilith: super strength, balance, coordination, sense. also is forever aware of her heartbeat, her breath, her food being digested, etc.
