TERRAGENESIS MEME or the SUDDENLY SUPERPOWERED MEME with a twist.



“This doesn’t destroy. It gives life, new life. We finally get to find out what we become.”


Terragenesis, an ancient alien procedure that has been around for centuries, perhaps millennia. Not everyone has "unique" DNA that leaves them with abilities but there's always a chance that you might. From being injected with alien DNA to being born different, there are a number of ways you could end up inhuman. Now here's an opportunity for your character to find out "What they become" on a global scale. Roll for your role and pick a scenario. Enjoy your sudden but inevitable abilities - and the potential ramifications thereof.


A. Hit up random.org for how the mists affect you.
B. Hit up the superpower wiki and hit random to see what power you get.
C. Choose your own adventure.
D. Profit.


RANDOM.ORG

1. NO EFFECT congratulations you dodged a serious bullet. You may be dead or dying - poisoned by inhuman crystal technology or you may be watching your friends and loved ones being mutated but you're normal. Hooray! Or boo! Either or.
2. COOL POWER BRO the thing about inhuman powers is that you're amped up by ten. Powers that we've seen so far include causing avalanches and moving mountains. Do you light fires with your mind? Control people's thoughts? Tap into magic? turn into things and turn human again? there are lots of options.
3. UNLUCKY OR EXTRA LUCKY? the more degraded the DNA the more likely it is you might end up with a physical mutation in addition to some form of ability. You get a power yes, but you're also butt ugly. Common mutations include spikes, no eyes (or perhaps extra eyes?) animal features, generally terrible things that happen. You literally cannot pass for a human being anymore. But hey! You can also build really cool alien technology. Makes it worth it right?

SCENARIOS

1. WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME: There's been an explosion. Or you've been dragged into the dark, and suddenly there's this mist and stuff's happening. You break out of it and you're changed! You're hideous! You still look normal but you feel like hell! Were you prepared for this? Was it expected? Did you always want to secretly be an x-man Inhuman? Or is this a complete and total surprise?
2. THIS IS NOT WHAT I WANTED: whatever happened - if you wanted it or not - you've gotta deal with it. That means if you have a brand new tail or if you're suddenly generating bolts of ice with your hands or able to leap tall buildings in a single bound you've gotta make the most of it. There is no cure...
3. THAT DOESN'T MEAN I WON'T LOOK FOR ONE.: because having three eyes and being able to control people with your thoughts is totally curable right? Right? absolutely right. Means that some people who didn't get so lucky could help you right? Of course. Your bros are still your bros even though you now have scales and can lift six tons right?
4. BUDDY UP IT'S TIME TO LEARN ABOUT YOUR NEW ABILITIES Partner up with another inhuman or a human bro and learn about yourself. Test your new abilities, run rampant, get comfort. This is the obligatory hurt-comfort option. Honestly your human friends may turn out to be the most supportive, or you might make a new inhuman pal who can sympathize with what you're going through.
5. ABSOLUTE POWER CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY Inevitably you are going to be tempted to use these powers for financial gain right? Or alternatively for the good of mankind but you're freakin' hideous and gross. Or you could probably force your enemies to do whatever you wanted them to. Why not just give in and do it?
6. WITH GREAT POWER COMES GREAT RESPONSIBILITY You've gained control over your abilities, or you're still learning, and you've decided that the thing to do is go off and use such powers! For the good of mankind! Never mind the potential destruction that could come with it! never mind that you are literally hideous!
7. SMUT OPTION: Smut with your powers. Superpowered people, heroes and villains getting it on. Can't not have a smut option right?
8. WILDCARD: Mix, match, make up your own scenario. What makes this different from other superpower canons is that there's the possibility to look really awful involved in it. Triton's a fish, Karnak looks like that. This is the place to make a terrible AU. Or play with the powers you already have and do new stuff with them. Ready? GO.

[Their favorite movie is beauty and the beast.

That's all he can think of. Beauty and the beast, Grant Ward and Kara - only he's the best now for real. His paw closes around her hand and he'll follow her straight to a HYDRA jet. Yes take one of these instead of SHIELD.

The moment they do that however Ward moves to sit in the passenger seat only to realize...he can't fit.

He rips the seatbelt out of the chair and he stares at her. He fits now, barely.


Get us out of here. Far away as you can.

[He'll wait until they're in the air to make a noise half groan half howl. Snarling.]

...We have to send a message to them and let them know we're gone. [But his voice is shaky] It's so hot. Isn't it hot?

[She gets them to the jet, hijacks it and gets them into the air. There are a few moments where she feels panic fill her and things go extra silent around her. As they work again she's fine and it comes back.]

[In the air she nods, taking off for a location he and she had used before to hide. To help him heal.]

[He had a point though. 'Maybe if I hold the line for you...]
You can talk to them and let them kno--oh... [she had been calm for a long enough moment that while she tried to talk she suddenly DID, in a soft tone, but there was a voice there. It was her own.]

[She let out a sigh, looking to him and saying softly.] I think I can do it. Are... are you alright? It's... [not hot at all.] A bit warm in here, yes.

I've... got this. You relax.

[She's talking.

That's so important that he leans - practically falls off the pilot chair and wraps his arms around her - tightly - before letting go and kissing her on the side of her head.

The only problem is there's more nose and less lips and he's a bear so it comes off almost animalistic - and he wants to scream before moving to put a hand on her shoulder]


...We have to stay away from them.

If they're like this, or they might be worse we can't let them know. How are you able to talk again?

[personal profile] facemyenemies 2015-04-23 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
[She's talking.]

[It is important. It's made her relax more. The more she relaxed the more she was able to be heard.]

[He nearly jumped at her, and in all honesty, he scared her. The animalistic movements, the feel of snout to the side of her head was startling. Her voice wavered a moment, and maybe the sounds around them dropped for a blink, before she took a breath and set auto pilot.]

[Turning to him she ran both hands over his fury bear like cheeks. Unsure. A bit scared. He loved her with a face as horrible as hers, but how does one love a bear? Maybe it would change. Oh god, what was she thinking. She felt panic swell a moment in her chest. She wanted to cry.]

['I don't know...' she said with no sound, paused, took a breath and held it. Calm.]


I don't know. What the hell happened to us? I... I...

[she let out a breath and frowned, drawing away again to reach for a comm.] I'll call Coulson.

[personal profile] ingrantitude 2015-04-23 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
[The thought - the thought of calling Coulson, of needing them. Needing him - after everything they'd been through is too much.]

Ineedaminute -

[Something cracks in his mind and he does the unthinkable, he curls up like a child in the seat and begins to cry.

He hasn't done this since he was a small boy, since Christian would steal his books or push him down in the mud. Since they lost the cat, since his grandmother died. He throws one arm over his head with a soft, soft sob before twisting away from her. And he twists away from her and he's gone.

No.

Not quite gone. He's in the back under a survival blanket, under a survival blanket and a tarp staring out at the world with wide eyes. If he hides it'll go away.

If it hides he can wake up and this will be adream. He'll be 6 years old and being a secret agent and becoming a monster will just be a bad dream right?

Of course not.

So he'll wait, he'll wait until she lands the plane. Watching her until there's a voice that comes from the pile of blankets.]


When I was a child I liked blankets.

[she paused as he said that, but as he left she frowned, about to follow, but... waited.]

[the others needed to know. As much as she didn't care. Didn't want to work for or with them...]

[She contacted them, getting hold of Fitz. They hadn't left yet... l-looking for them. It helped to soften the blow a bit, but she was still mad. They would leave, perhaps meet later. Everyone was alright, though there was an incident with Hunter. She didn't ask for now. Instead she said she would contact again later, if they were lucky, and that was that.]

[When she landed she leaned on her knees with her arms, hands in her hair. She can't do this. She felt so weird. Off. Like something inside was wrong. They'd just gone through a lot. Everything was wrong.]

[She felt so frustrated, and for a moment she wasn't sure if it was heard or not, but she let out a huge scream, sharp and angry and... short. Just for a moment. Just a short moments scream. But nothing was heard.]

[She turned to get up, only to realize she could see eyes watching her. She stopped short, looking a little unsure. And then she heard him.]

[Licking her lips she frowned, coming over to the ode green blanket pile Ward had made. Sitting down beside it she curled into herself a bit, peeking over at him. Her lips worked, soundless a moment. Then...]


My safety blanket was my bear... [ironic, huh]

I had a moose.

[His laugh is sad and pathetic.] What was your bear's name?

[He pulls the blankets back. There are tears matted through the lighter fur on his face as he looks up at her. He wants to be touched and held - the years have dropped off of him but her...

he has to be there for her.

which is why he pulls himself up and carefully, wrapping his hands in the blankets, reaches out to touch her, slow and heavy before he'll - if allowed - pull her to him. A move he's done before.

Never as a white furry bear man.]


It's hitting you too isn't it. Whatever this is.

Winston. [She said simply, small voice soft. She had a bear. He was a bear now. Kind of. They were both her safety nets at some point.]

[she looked at him and his damp fury face, frowning, but she let him pull her in, like he had done time and time before. This time just... bigger. Furrier.]

[She had to keep telling herself it was just Ward. Grant Ward. They can maybe fix this. Maybe.]

[She leaned into him, then turned and curled into him, arms around him as best she could and hugged him. What a shitty situation]


I don't... know what it's doing, but I feel weird.

[personal profile] ingrantitude 2015-04-23 12:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Tell me.

[He choked] It's easier for me to try and help you then let myself think about ...about me.

[personal profile] facemyenemies 2015-04-24 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
[It felt weird, leaning into fur like this, but hearing the voice of Grant. She didn't like it, but she was determined to try and help fix it. Or get him through it. She wouldn't draw back or act stupidly. Not when he might need her for a change.]

[Like letting him focus on something else.]

[She leaned in but shook her head lightly, eyes closing.]


It's hard to explain. It feels like nothing. Like silence and a void but also like vibrations. Like the air was alive. Moving. It feels like everything is louder in my head.

[Another power like Skye's.

that's it.

that's what had to happen. The realization makes him shiver because this isn't going away.]


You weren't talking.
facemyenemies: (Real Kara 4)

[personal profile] facemyenemies 2015-04-24 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
[she doesn't want it. She doesn't want to be like Skye. He didn't want her when she looked like Skye! How will this work...]

[She frowned more at that comment]


I felt like I was, but I couldn't hear anything. Not even my breath.

If it happens again think about it.

[Ward's voice is soft but it rumbles.] Think about controlling it. Modulating it maybe?
